Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 616 Tail?

The cold wind howled on the Grand Canal and the white waves rolled.

A tall building boat rides the wind and waves on the surface of the water.

Di Renjie, Zeng Tai, Lu Jiying, Ning led Di Chun and others to stand on the bow deck.

Di Renjie let out a long sigh and said, "The Grand Canal used to be a thousand-sail race, so prosperous, but now it's a scene of depression and death, it's really sad!"

Lu Jiying said angrily: "Isn't it caused by the shipwreck in Hangou? Water transportation is blocked, the river is closed, and all ships are prohibited from navigating. It's a good Grand Canal, look at what it looks like now!"

Di Renjie nodded slowly.

Zeng Tai said: "Teacher, I looked at the geographical map yesterday. The road from Yangzhou to Xuyi is quite long. The waterway alone is more than [-] miles. It may take a few days to get there."

Di Renjie said: "Yes. Now the canal is blocked, water transport is not going well, and salt from the south cannot be transported to the north. There is still a land route from Yangzhou to Shanyang, but it is blocked by Hongze Lake to Xuyi. I really don't know the salt situation in the north of Xuyi. how."

Lu Jiying said: "Beizhi once heard people say that since the shutdown, the area north of Xuyi has experienced a shortage of salt and the price of salt has risen. I don't know if it is true or not."

Di Renjie said: "I have also heard the local people talk about it. I hope this trip to Xuyi can be rewarding."

……

It was daylight, and the muddy path was rugged and winding, with thick trees on both sides.

Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Xiao Qing rode their horses and saw two forks in front of them. Wang Mang yelled sharply and stopped his horses.

Li Yuanfang and Xiao Qing also stopped.

Xiaoqing looked around and said, "The woodcutter said just now, if you encounter a fork in the road, go to the left, and then you will arrive at Jiaowang Temple for more than ten miles! Let's go!"

As he spoke, he steered his horse and walked up the forked road on the left. Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other. They exchanged glances and nodded slightly.

At this time, Xiaoqing saw that the two of them were not moving, and sat quietly on the horse in a daze.

Xiao Qing returned to the horse and said: "Shui Sheng, Shuimu, why are you so dazed right now, let's go!"

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang still did not move.

Xiao Qing turned the horse's head and came to them and said, "Shui Sheng, Shuimu, what are you thinking? We'll be at Jiaowang Temple in front of us!"

Wang Mang glanced at her, without saying a word, turned over and jumped off the horse, walked up to Xiaoqing's horse's head and said, "Get off."

Xiaoqing was stunned: "Come down? What are you going to do?"

Wang Mang said, "I let you come down for a reason."

Xiao Qing said, "Okay, Shui Sheng, stop making trouble..."

"Get down!"

Wang Mang looked at her, and two words came out of his mouth.

Xiaoqing was stunned, a little scared: "Shuisheng, you, what happened to you?"

Wang Mang stopped talking and stared at her intently.

Xiaoqing smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll come down, that's fine."

With that said, he turned over and jumped off his mount and said, "Tell me, what are you going to do?"

At this time, Wang Mang glanced at Li Yuanfang behind him, and Li Yuanfang nodded.

Immediately after he got off the horse, he and Wang Mang looked at each other and nodded slightly. He walked behind his horse, stretched out his hand and slapped the horse's butt heavily.

At the same time, Wang Mang also walked up to the two horses of himself and Xiao Qing, stretched out his hand and slapped the two horses' buttocks heavily.

At this time, the three horses neighed, galloped wildly, and galloped towards a forked road on the right.

Seeing this scene, Xiaoqing immediately exclaimed: "Hey, horse, horse!"

She chased two steps forward, but the horse had already run away.

Xiaoqing turned her head angrily and said to Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang: "Shuisheng, Mizuki, what are you two doing? You don't know that we have to rush to Jiaowang Temple to deliver a letter to Pang Si before dark, but now you put The horse has run away, when will we arrive?"

Wang Mang glanced at Li Yuanfang, but he didn't speak, but listened to the movement in the distance.

Before Wang Mang could speak in the future, Xiao Qing flushed with anger and shouted loudly: "You guys are talking!"

Wang Mang said, "You will find out after a while."

"Know what?"

Xiaoqing has to ask again.

Suddenly, Wang Mang pulled Xiao Qing up and rushed into the long grass beside the road, followed by Li Yuanfang.

Xiaoqing was anxious and angry, she desperately broke free from Wang Mang's hand and said, "Shuisheng, what are you and Mizuki going to do?"

Wang Mang hissed softly: "Stop talking, squat down!"

Li Yuanfang quickly squatted down.

Before the words fell, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance.

Xiaoqing was stunned, Wang Mang pulled her to squat down, and looked towards the road.

In the distance, a horse galloped up, and when it came to the fork in the road, the man on the horse turned over and jumped off, looking around.

It was none other than Deng Tong who followed him.

Xiaoqing was so shocked that her mouth opened wide and her almond eyes widened. She couldn't understand why Deng Tong appeared here.

I saw Deng Tong squatting down to carefully examine the horseshoe prints on the road, then stood up, jumped on the horse, and galloped towards the fork road on the right, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

In the grass, Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Xiao Qing stood up.

Xiao Qing was stunned and said: "Deng Tong, why is Deng Tong here?"

Wang Mang said calmly, "Your father sent it."

Xiaoqing was dumbfounded immediately: "What did my father send him for?"

Wang Mang glanced at her and said, "What else can you do? Your father is worried about not being able to find a place to stay for Yan Xiao. Of course he followed us, found Yan Xiao, and then killed them."

Xiaoqing said in shock: "How, how is this possible? My father would never do such a thing!"

Wang Mang stopped talking and closed his eyes.

Li Yuanfang remained silent.

Xiaoqing thought about it quietly, and after a long time, she let out a long sigh and said in a dejected way: "Yes, what you said makes sense, my father must have sent him here, otherwise why would he follow us. I can't imagine that my father would, would to do something like this..."

As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

Wang Mang on the side didn't say a word, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Li Yuanfang was even more silent.

Xiaoqing glanced at him and asked aggrievedly, "Why don't you speak?"

Wang Mang shook his head and said, "There is nothing to say."

Xiaoqing turned her head, looked at Wang Mang and said, "When did you find out that he was following us?"

Wang Mang said calmly: "Guess, I have suffered internal injuries now, and I didn't notice that he was following us."

Xiaoqing raised her head: "Guess?"

At this time, Wang Mang glanced at Li Yuanfang, and Li Yuanfang said, "I found him in Crouching Tiger Manor!"

Wang Mang nodded: "I also looked at Mizuki's expression, this time I know I guessed it right."

At this time, Xiaoqing said in surprise: "Then why didn't you say it earlier!"

Wang Mang didn't speak.

Li Yuanfang said, "We don't know what you think."

Xiao Qing was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Wang Mang explained: "Do you want to help your father get rid of Pang Si, or do you want to save them."

Xiaoqing was so angry that she didn't speak for a long time, she jumped up suddenly, kicked Wang Mang hard and shouted: "Pang Si is our friend, how can I help my father kill him!"

Wang Mang glanced at her, still calmly said: "It's your friend, not mine."

Xiaoqing was stunned and stared at him blankly.

Wang Mang said, "You said that I only have one friend."

Xiao Qing suddenly laughed: "You stinky bastard, you speak in such a dry and stubborn way that you can't breathe! However, I still like to hear some words."

Wang Mang shook his head slightly, but did not speak.

And Li Yuanfang closed his eyes again, wondering what he was thinking.

Xiao Qing said: "I never thought that the two of you, who are usually stupid, are so clever when it comes to critical moments."

Wang Mang said indifferently: "If you want to save your friend, go quickly, Deng Tong will be back soon."

Xiao Qing nodded and said, "Quick, let's go."

The three rushed out of the woods and ran forward along the path.
