Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 589 Li Han's Cause of Death
Di Renjie stared at Lu Jiying with lightning-like eyes, and said in a rambling voice: "It is sometimes wise to conceal the truth, but sometimes it seems unwise. Does your county understand the meaning of this pavilion?"

Lu Jiying trembled all over and said: "Yes, yes. I understand it. I dare not hide it. Everything I say is true."

Di Renjie smiled and said: "Li Han's death is a mystery. Oh, by the way, the reply to the cabinet also mentioned that two silver certificates were found in the secret cabinet behind the second hall?"

Lu Jiying said, "Exactly."

Di Renjie said, "Gui County, please lead me to see that dark pavilion."

Lu Jiying said, "My lord, please follow me."

Di Renjie nodded, followed Lu Jiying into the inner hall, and came to the gable next to the couch.

Lu Jiying reached out and pressed on the wall, and a small secret door popped up on the wall.

Di Renjie asked: "Is this the secret cabinet where trustworthiness is stored?"

Lu Jiying nodded and said, "Exactly."

Di Renjie looked inside with his head, closed the secret door again, opened it again, then nodded slowly and said: "Gui County, at that time, the guards guarding the Shanyang Hotel were all brought by Mr. Li Han from Beijing. ?”

"Yes. There were less than 50 of them."

"So, where do the servants in the hotel come from?"

"It was arranged by the county."

"That's right. Your county, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Lu Jiying coughed and said, "Ah, no more."

Di Renjie pondered for a moment and said: "Well, we still have some things to rush back to Yangzhou. You immediately prepare a fast boat, and I will rush to the pier now."

Lu Jiying said: "Yes. I will do it immediately."

Di Renjie warned: "Remember, don't publicize the arrival of this pavilion."

Lu Jiying hurriedly said, "I dare not in a lowly position."

Said and walked out the door quickly.

Di Renjie looked at his back and said softly, "This Lu Jiying is interesting."

Zeng Tai said, "Master, what did you say?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said: "It's nothing. Zeng Tai, did you see it? Our analysis on the ship has been gradually confirmed. Li Han's death is a mystery. Did he commit suicide or homicide? What caused his death?"

Zeng Tai said: "Master, could it be related to the trust of the two Hongtong cabinets?"

Di Renjie pondered: "It's hard to say now. When we return to Yangzhou this time, we just want to find out the details of this Hongtong cabinet. First of all, we need to find out whether Li Han personally deposited 20 taels of silver into the cabinet. It is crucial to determine the cause of Li Han's death."

Zeng Tai nodded.

Di Renjie said: "Also, we have said that Li Han's wife, Ning Shi, must have hidden a big secret.

Moreover, now I dare to conclude that this secret is closely related to Li Han's death, and may even be the direct cause.But for these, we can only wait for news from Yuan Fang. "

Zeng Tai nodded.

Lu Jiying walked in and said, "My lords, the official ship is ready, and the carriage is now outside the door."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "I'm sorry." Then he walked out with Zeng Tai.

Looking at their backs, Lu Jiying let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

……

It was almost noon, and the second floor of the teahouse was full of people, and there was a lot of noise.

Ning Shi was still sitting at the seat by the window, while drinking tea, she kept looking towards the stairs from time to time.

Lu Jiying appeared at the stairs wearing casual clothes and sweating profusely. Ning quickly waved to him.

Lu Jiying ran over, sat down breathlessly and said, "Why, Jingyang and Yuanfang haven't arrived yet?"

Ning shook her head.

Lu Jiying looked at the sky and said, "It shouldn't be, it's almost noon."

Ning said: "Don't worry, we just arrived at Noon Pai. We have been waiting here for less than two hours. Maybe Jing Yang and Yuan Fang arrived in the afternoon."

Lu Jiying nodded and said with a smile: "Look at me, I really can't hold back, I'm not as good as a woman like Xianmei."

Ning said: "Concern leads to chaos. Brother, you can relax your mind and wait with peace of mind. The two of us drink tea and chat. Maybe when you turn around by chance, Jing Yang and Yuan Fang are already standing in front of us."

Lu Jiying said with a smile: "yes, yes, relax. Let's drink tea."

As he spoke, he picked up his teacup and drank it down.

Ning smiled and said: "Brother, you drink tea like you drink wine, and you drink it all up when you lift your neck."

Lu Jiying said with a smile: "Your elder brother is a rough man. He only knows how to drink tea to quench his thirst, but he can't taste the taste."

Ning said: "Brother, you should drink slowly, maybe we have to wait for a whole day. Oh, by the way, how about that Master Di?"

Lu Jiying said: "I was just about to tell you that Di Renjie asked me to accompany him to investigate the scene of Li Langzhong's death."

Ning was surprised and said, "Oh? Tell me quickly."

Lu Jiying said: "This Mr. Di Ge really lives up to his reputation. He is too powerful. His eyes are like eagles. He can tell at a glance that Li Langzhong didn't hang himself to death."

Ning said: "Really?"

Lu Jiying said: "Really. He asked me to describe the situation at the scene in detail and asked very carefully."

Ning asked: "Brother, where is Mr. Di Ge now?"

Lu Jiying said: "I have returned to Yangzhou."

Ning said: "Then tell me, should we hand over the secret letter to him?"

Lu Jiying slowly shook his head and said: "A one-sided relationship is not trustworthy. There are some things I wanted to say today, but I finally held back. I think it's better to wait for Jingyang and Yuanfang to arrive, and then we can make a long-term plan." Decide."

Ning frowned, bit her lip and nodded.

Lu Jiying looked towards the stairs and said: "Waiting is the most terrible thing. Everything is unknown, and I don't know what the result of waiting will be."

……

The sun is already westward.

Among the pedestrians on the streets of Shanyang County, two familiar figures walked forward slowly with the crowd, looking around from time to time. They were the killers of the Iron Hands, Longfeng and Yungu.

Behind them were several attendants, each holding a piece of straw paper with Ning's appearance in their hands.

Yun Gu looked around and said to Long Feng, "Eldest senior brother, tell the brothers to search separately."

Longfeng nodded, and whispered a few words to the people behind him, and they immediately dispersed and disappeared into the crowd.

Longfeng sighed and said: "It's been two days, and the brothers have gone all over Shanyang City, but they haven't found any trace of Ning's family. Yesterday, the suzerain sent another order to find Ning's family and secret letter within two days. Come see me."

Yun Gu said angrily: "Hmph, the suzerain is really going too far! For a secret letter, he first cut off the left arm of the elder brother, and now he is passing down this order of life and death!

As the saying goes, when the birds are gone, the bow is hidden.The cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks.Even if we are lackeys, we have to wait until we catch the cunning rabbit before we kill him! "

Longfeng smiled wryly and said: "I, Longfeng, have sacrificed my life for decades for the Tie Shou Tuan, and if I end up like this, let alone you.

Now, everyone is precarious and lives in fear. Once something goes wrong, their lives are in danger. "

Yun Gu said: "The suzerain has sent a message saying that the Ning family is in Shanyang County. Now the brothers have searched the whole city, but found nothing. Could it be our fault too?"

Long Feng sighed and said: "If you want to commit a crime, there is no excuse."

As soon as the words were finished, there was a rush of footsteps behind them, Longfeng and Yungu turned around, and the killer Leopard rushed to them.

Yun Gu asked in surprise, "Bao Chong, why are you here?"

Leopard Chong said: "Eldest brother, Gu Yun, the sect wants me to deliver a letter to you two."

Yun Gu and Long Feng looked at each other and said, "You don't want us to meet again?"

Leopard Chong shook his head, leaned close to the two and whispered a few words.

I don't know what Bao Chong said, but Yun Gu suddenly raised her head, her face was full of surprise: "Oh!"
