Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 687
Wang Mang sorted out the whole context of stealing and selling official salt in one breath, Di Renjie nodded slowly, he sighed deeply, and said, "What a big network of officials and bandits colluding, it's really shocking!"

Zeng Tai struck with both palms and said, "There is no flaw!"

Di Renjie nodded slowly and said, "It seems that we can act now."

At this time, Xiao Qing was completely dumbfounded, she was dumbfounded and said: "Shui, Shui Sheng, did you just say my father?"

Wang Mang sighed and nodded heavily.

Di Renjie glanced at Wang Mang, he looked at Xiao Qing, and sighed, "Xiao Qing, I have to say that your father is a repeat offender in this case."

Xiaoqing was completely desperate, suddenly, she yelled hysterically, turned around and ran outside.

Wang Mang sighed and said to Di Renjie, "I'll go and have a look."

Di Renjie nodded.

Li Yuanfang and Pang Si chased after them.

After Wang Mang left, Di Renjie then asked: "Peng Chun, do you know Hongtong Cabinet?"

Peng Chun said, "Hongtong Cabinet? I've never heard of it."

Di Renjie nodded, pondered for a moment, took out the letter written by Lin Yang to Ge Tianba from his arms, handed it to Peng Chun and said, "Take a look and see if this is Lin Yang's handwriting."

Peng Chun took the letter, read it over and said, "Exactly. It was written by him before I left."

Di Renjie nodded, took the letter and said, "Are you familiar with Lin Yang?"

Peng Chun said, "Yes."

Di Renjie asked: "What is his identity? Is he a member of the government?"

Peng Chun shook his head and said: "It seems not. Lin Yang's whereabouts are very mysterious, it can be said that he comes and goes without a trace. He doesn't often stay in Beigou Dacang, and I can't say what his real identity is."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "According to your brother Peng Qiu and Beigou's guards, he is not tall, with a dark complexion, small eyes, and a beard."

Peng Chun hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, but..."

Di Renjie said, "What do you want to say?"

Peng Chun said: "The villain always suspects that it's not Lin Yang's true face."

Di Renjie was taken aback and said, "What's the meaning of this?"

Peng Chun recalled: "Once, he came to Beigou late at night. The villain went to see him in the morning and found him sitting in front of the bronze mirror, glueing a beard to his cheeks."

Di Renjie and Zeng Tai looked at each other and said, "You mean, his beard is fake?"

Peng Chun nodded and said, "It should be."

Di Renjie thought about it quietly for a long time, and said: "What you said is very valuable, let's heal your wounds with peace of mind!"

Peng Chun said, "Thank you sir."

Di Renjie said to Di Chun: "Di Chun, you order Zhang Huan to dispatch a small team of guards to guard Peng Chun day and night, and ensure his safety."

Di Chun agreed and walked out quickly.

……

On the other side, Xiaoqing sat alone in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, staring at the clear water, in a daze.

Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Pang Si came outside the pavilion.

Wang Mang waved his hands at Li Yuanfang and Pang Si, and Li Yuanfang and Pang Si hurriedly stopped.

Wang Mang walked slowly behind Xiaoqing by himself, and sat down.

A gust of wind blew by, Xiaoqing sighed and said: "I know what you wanted to say last night. This Mr. Huai is a member of the imperial court, and he came to deal with my father."

Wang Mang also sighed and said, "It's not just your father that he wants to deal with.

Just now you heard that your father was involved in a major case that shocked the government and the public. They robbed the low-priced official salt delivered to the people by the court and sold it at a high price to the people who had no salt to eat. ! "

Xiaoqing sobbed softly.

Wang Mang said: "Xiaoqing, we have traveled all the way, and you have seen the miserable conditions of the local people, how pitiful it is!"

Xiao Qing nodded.

Wang Mang paused, and said, "There is a saying, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Xiaoqing turned her head: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Wang Mang stared at Xiaoqing closely, and asked, "If destroying Crouching Tiger Village can save the people in Huaibei who are suffering from light food, what would you choose?"

Xiao Qing was stunned for a long time, then she smiled sadly and said, "What about my father? What about my father?"

Wang Mang sighed and nodded slowly: "I can understand. It is human nature for a father and daughter to be united."

Xiaoqing turned her head, looked at Wang Mang and said, "Will you help them destroy Crouching Tiger Village?"

Wang Mang was silent.

Xiao Qing wiped the tears off his face and said, "To be honest, I won't blame you."

Wang Mang took a deep breath and said, "To be honest, Yu Li, I want to rush back to Crouching Tiger Manor right now to get rid of these scum who harm the people! But Yu Qing, especially you, I, I don't know... ..."

He raised his head and said resolutely, "But from now on, I hope you will stop helping the evildoers and stop meddling with your father's affairs."

Tears rolled down Xiao Qing's cheeks.

She said softly: "You are right, the things my father did are really outrageous, worse than beasts!

I can't wait to bring him to justice, but he is my biological father after all!

Now I only have one wish, and that is for him to be safe and sound, and stop doing evil. If he can do so, I will never care about the fine clothes and food in Crouching Tiger Manor. I, I would rather beg along the street with him..."

Said, and cried sadly again.

Wang Mang comforted: "Okay, let's not talk about this. I don't think you should go back to Crouching Tiger Manor for the time being. Tomorrow, I will go and beg my lord to see if he can forgive your father..."

Xiaoqing suddenly raised her head and said, "Really?"

Wang Mang nodded and said, "Have I ever lied to you?"

Xiao Qing plunged into Wang Mang's arms, sobbing, "Thank you, Shui Sheng."

Wang Mang patted Xiao Qing's back, took a deep breath, and did not speak.

……

The night was as dark as black, candles were burning high in the main hall of the Tie Shou Tuan, and the suzerain sat on the top chair with a frosty face.

Yun Gu, Long Feng, Leopard Chong, Mosquito Gang, Yu Qiang and other killers stood on both sides.

The suzerain said: "A few days ago, I received a message from Ge Tianba Feige, the owner of Crouching Tiger Village, that the last batch of salt transported from Beigou Dacang to Crouching Tiger Village was robbed by someone!"

Everyone at the next stop exclaimed: "What, the salt boat was robbed!"

Yun Gu was even more nervous.

The suzerain said slowly: "This matter is quite strange. Ge Tianba is so powerful in Huaibei, and it is unbelievable that someone blatantly robs at his door!"

As he said that, he cast his eyes coldly on Gu Yun's face: "What do you think?"

Yun Gu hurriedly bowed her hands and saluted, "Sect Master, the world is unpredictable. Maybe there is another force coveting the Huaibei Salt Market."

The suzerain looked at her and said coldly, "Are you justifying him?"

Yun Gu hurriedly said: "This subordinate dare not."

The suzerain paused, and said: "This matter is important, I want to go to Crouching Tiger Manor myself!"

Yun Gu was taken aback and raised her head.

At this moment, a follower walked in quickly and said, "Sovereign, Cui Liang, Wu Wendeng and Yang Jiucheng are waiting outside the door."

The suzerain nodded: "Tell them to come in."

The entourage walked out the door quickly.
