Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 656
The city of Xuyi was dead silent, the cold wind was howling, and fallen leaves were flying.

Wang Mang and Di Renjie have returned to the inn.

Inside the room, Di Renjie paced slowly.

Wang Mang and Zeng Tai came over and said softly, "My lord (mentor), did you call us?"

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Jingyang, Zeng Tai, you are here. One point in Mrs. Chang's confession tonight caught my attention."

Wang Mang asked, "Oh, what point?"

Di Renjie said, "Crouching Tiger Town."

At this time, Zeng Tai said: "Ah, yes, Mrs. Chang said that He Wuqi met Yan Shi by chance in Crouching Tiger Town."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "He Wuqi is the largest salt merchant in Xuyi City, with a wealth of wealth. In Wenqing's words, even the county magistrate would give him three points.

Think about it, with He Wuqi's status, what important event would make him go to the remote Crouching Tiger Town in person? "

Zeng Tai nodded slowly and said: "Yes, this is indeed a bit strange.

It is understandable if small businessmen like Sun Xiwang go to remote areas to sell cloth.

But a big salt merchant like He Wuqi held scarce and expensive table salt in his hand, and he didn't need to work hard to meet the demand.

But he actually ran to that kind of place, thinking about it, it was indeed a bit suspicious. "

At this time, Wang Mang took a deep breath and said, "He Wuqi is a salt merchant, and he has only one purpose for going out, and that is for salt."

Zeng Tai suddenly realized: "Jing Yang, you mean, He Wuqi's private salt was transported from Crouching Tiger Town?"

Wang Mang said: "Judging from the current situation, this is the most likely outcome."

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "Jing Yang, it's too early to draw conclusions.

The reason why I want to break into He Yuan is to find out the matter and the murder case in Xuyi.

So now is a great opportunity, we must not let it go. "

Wang Mang and Zeng Tai looked at each other, nodded and said, "Not bad."

"Of course, the bizarre murder that happened in Tongya Inn.

Through the identification of He Wuqi's adulterer status tonight, it can be concluded that the murderer's real target is definitely not Meixiang and Tianliu, but He Wuqi!
Moreover, unlike Sun Xiwang, the murderer knew He Wuqi very well.

Sun Xiwang was following his wife, Yan Shi, while the murderer was following He Wuqi.

The ideas and practices of these two groups of people can be said to lead to the same goal by different routes, and they all fell on He Wuqi and Yan Shi in Room A of the Killing Place.

Therefore, the two groups of people who came to commit the crime collided.

However, they didn't expect that the key to the guest room was stolen by Mei Xiang, and it wasn't He Wuqi and Yan who entered Room A. "

Zeng Tai belatedly asked: "You mean, the real murderer killed the wrong person?"

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other, and they nodded.

Seeing that Zeng Tai was still frowning, Wang Mang asked back: "Brother Zeng, think about it carefully, is there any other explanation besides this?"

Zeng Tai thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Not bad."

Di Renjie said: "Looking at all the above, is the source of the illegal salt the Crouching Tiger Town?
Who is the murderer in Tongqu Inn?
Why did he want to kill He Wuqi?

All these questions fell on He Wuqi alone.

So everything depends on tomorrow's actions! "

Zeng Tai asked: "Master, what do you think?"

A smile appeared on Di Renjie's face: "I've seen a lot of people like He Wuqi, they are all bullying and afraid of being tough, as long as they meet someone who is more ruthless or powerful than him, they will obey you obediently.

Therefore, you can't deal with him softly, you have to be tough, and once you subdue him, everything after that will be easy to handle. "

Wang Mang nodded: "Yes, my lord, you can't use conventional means to deal with this kind of person. It's best to clean him up at once."

Di Renjie laughed.

Zeng Tai smiled and said: "It seems that you and Jing Yang have already made up their minds."

Di Renjie smiled, and waved to Wang Mang and Zeng Tai. Wang Mang and Zeng Tai looked at each other, and the two rushed forward, and Di Renjie whispered something in their ears.

Wang Mang and Zeng Tai kept nodding.

……

The two horses galloped on the street, heading for the Xuyi Wharf outside the city.

The fleet led by Di Renjie docked at the shore, and the lights on the boat were all extinguished.

The two horses rushed to the front of the building, and the ones on the horses turned over and jumped off. They were Wang Mang and Zeng Tai.

The two hurried to the building boat.

A guard on duty shouted from the side of the ship: "Stop, who is it?"

Zeng Tai and Wang Mang said: "It's me, Zeng Tai! (Wang Jingyang!)"

With that said, the two had already stepped onto the upstairs boat.

The guard hurriedly bowed and said, "Ah, it's Mr. Zeng and Lord Wanghou."

Wang Mang said: "Wake up all the guards of the second and third teams immediately, and prepare to go!"

The on-duty guard agreed, turned around and ran into the boat.

……

Di Renjie stayed up all night, stood in the courtyard looking up at the stars in the sky, and let out a long sigh.

At this moment, Wang Mang and Zeng Tai came up behind him, and said softly, "Mentor! (My lord!)"

Di Renjie turned his head and said, "Ah, Jingyang, Zeng Tai, you are back. How are things going?"

Wang Mang said: "Everything is prepared according to your order, and we only need to wait for tomorrow's action!"

Di Renjie nodded slowly.

He let out a long sigh.

Wang Mang and Zeng Tai looked at each other, and Wang Mang said, "My lord, are you still worried about Yuan Fang's illness?"

Di Renjie nodded: "Yes, I found some ancient books about amnesia, but..."

Wang Mang comforted: "Sir, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to restore Yuan Fang's memory."

Di Renjie and Zeng Tai looked at each other, they didn't speak, but nodded silently.

……

Located on the south bank of the Huaihe River, Huaishui Tea House is the largest tea house in Xuyi, and its customers are rich and well-dressed.

Although the salt shortage has depressed Xuyi, it doesn't seem to be affected much here.

It was nearly noon, and He Wuqi came down to the teahouse surrounded by several bodyguards.

Dr. Cha came forward with a smile all over his face: "Fifth Master, you are here!"

He Wuqi nodded and said: "The old seat, the same way."

Dr. Cha coughed lightly, and said embarrassingly, "Fifth Lord, I'm sorry, your seat has been taken."

There was a fierce light in He Wuqi's eyes, and he snorted heavily: "Oh, who is it?"

Dr. Cha said cautiously: "It's a foreigner. I told him that the chair is your special seat, but he didn't listen, he insisted on sitting, even the small ones can't help."

He Wuqi sneered, and said to the bodyguard behind him: "There are still people in Xuyi who dare to compete with He Wuye for a seat, ah? They must have eaten the guts of a leopard!"

A bodyguard said: "Fifth Master, leave it to me! Let him disappear immediately!"

As he said that, he walked across the head of the seat with his shoulders.

He Wuqi waved his hand and said, "Wait, wait."

The bodyguard stopped in his tracks.

He Wuqi smiled and said: "I want to see and see. How can outsiders be so courageous? It's hard to have fun today. Master Wu doesn't want to miss it!"

The bodyguards let out a burst of wanton laughter.

He Wuqi said, "Let's go!"

As he spoke, he swaggered towards the head seat by the window.
