Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 691 Traitor?

The weather was fine, and the birds were singing in He Zhai's garden, creating a scene of early spring.

Xiaoqing walked slowly by the lake, thinking quietly.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance.

Wang Mang came over: "Xiaoqing, you are here! I said why can't I find you."

Xiao Qing stopped and pretended to turn around. She saw Wang Mang at a glance, forced a smile on her face and said, "Shuisheng, are you looking for me?"

Wang Mang said: "Yes, I just told the adults about your father, and he promised to let your father go!"

Hearing Wang Mang's words, Xiao Qing immediately jumped up: "Really?!"

Wang Mang nodded: "Really. But my lord also has a condition, that is, if you want your father to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, he will let you go."

Suddenly, Xiaoqing worriedly said: "But if my father doesn't want to surrender, what should I do?"

Wang Mang said: "Your father is a hero, he is very knowledgeable about current affairs. Five days later, when the government and soldiers come under pressure, he will definitely surrender obediently."

Xiaoqing smiled: "Yes, you still know my father. That's great! Shuisheng, thank you."

Wang Mang said: "The reason why my lord did this is against his style of conduct. This gift is not small!"

Xiaoqing said: "Master Di is really a good person!"

Xiao Qing put his palms together suddenly, closed his eyes and said, "Oh, God, please bless me, nothing will happen again these days."

Wang Mang looked at Xiaoqing's beautiful face and smiled: "Don't worry, Xiaoqing, nothing will happen if I'm here."

……

Lu Jiying was waiting in the hall in official uniform, when he saw Di Renjie coming in, he hurried forward to greet him: "Mr. Ge."

Di Renjie asked, "Jiying, how are you doing?"

Lu Jiying took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over: "Mr. Ge, this is all the contents of the secret letter."

Di Renjie quickly took it, opened the letter, read it carefully, and said with a smile: "Very good, you have worked hard.

Lu Jiying said with a smile: "This is the job of a subordinate official."

After saying that, he turned to leave. Di Renjie smiled from behind and said, "Why, the county magistrate is going to work hard again?"

Lu Jiying turned her head and said with a smile: "Stupid birds fly first. Jiying's brain is dull, it's better to be more diligent, at least it won't delay the business."

Di Renjie said with a smile: "Jiying, you are not stupid, you have a very good brain!"

Lu Jiying also smiled: "Xie Ge Lao praised, then I will go."

Di Renjie nodded.

At this time, at this time, Wang Mang walked in and met Lu Jiying who was about to go out.

Wang Mang asked with a smile, "Brother Lu, what are you?"

Lu Jiying smiled and said, "Yes, I just gave the contents of that secret letter to Mr. Ge."

Wang Mang nodded: "So that's the case. My lord asked me a few days ago, and I was going to look for Ning Xianmei. I didn't expect that your memory is so good that you wrote it in ink."

Lu Jiying smiled: "I, Lu Jiying, am a rough person. I can't remember all these things. It's all thanks to Sister Ning Xian."

Wang Mang nodded slowly: "That's right, Brother Lu is going to work hard again now!"

Lu Jiying smiled honestly: "I don't dare to relax in the matter that Mr. Ge ordered!"

Wang Mang nodded: "In that case, then I won't bother Brother Lu."

Lu Jiying nodded, turned and left.

Wang Mang looked at his back and murmured, "I hope..."

At this time, Di Renjie saw Wang Mang standing in the courtyard, and shouted: "Jing Yang!"

Wang Mang turned around and walked into the house a few steps: "My lord, how is it?"

Di Renjie didn't speak, and handed the two pieces of paper to Wang Mang. Wang Mang took a look, his face changed slightly: "It's really..."

"Shh!"

Di Renjie hurriedly hissed.

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other, but they didn't speak.

……

A rush of gongs sounded from the direction of Crouching Tiger Hall, and in a blink of an eye the sound of gongs spread throughout the village.

The crouching tiger hall was brightly lit, and a group of crouching tiger villa leaders, led by Ge Tianba, quickly entered the hall.

On the high platform in the middle of the hall, a person stood with his back facing the gate, with his hands upside down, and Huyun, Guijie, Luba and a thousand other killers from the Iron Hands stood guard on both sides.

Soon, the big and small leaders under Ge Tianba's command lined up.

Ge Tianba bowed and said, "Ge Tianba leads all the leaders of Crouching Tiger Village to welcome the suzerain!"

All the leaders saluted together.

The person on the high platform turned around slowly, and it was the suzerain of the Iron Hands Group.

He gave Ge Tianba a cold look and said, "Excuse me, Master Ge, and everyone."

After everyone stood up, the suzerain said again, "Master Ge, I received a letter a few days ago that the last batch of nearly ten thousand stones of official salt transported from Beigou Dacang was robbed near Crouching Tiger Village. What's going on? "

Ge Tianba bowed and said: "Back to the suzerain, the big barge was hijacked in Feiyunpu, all the people on board were killed, and the salt was also taken away. Now, my subordinates have sent people to investigate."

The suzerain asked: "Is there any result?"

Ge Tianba said: "Received a report a few days ago, the robber seems to be a salt lord headed by Pang Si."

The suzerain sneered and said, "Salt owl? How dare the salt owl rob the salt boat in Crouching Tiger Manor? This is really an anecdote!"

Ge Tianba couldn't help being startled, and raised his head timidly.

The suzerain's gaze was staring straight at him like a sharp arrow.

Ge Tianba hurriedly lowered his head: "Yes, it's because the subordinates were negligent in guarding against it."

The suzerain snorted lightly and said, "Master Ge, in recent days, I heard that you are quite critical of the Iron Hands, isn't it?"

Ge Tianba trembled all over, and hurriedly said: "I don't know who said this, and my subordinates never think so!"

The suzerain smiled and said: "Nearly 10,000 stones of official salt, worth [-]+ taels of silver, this is not a small amount of income!"

Ge Tianba was startled, and glanced at the suzerain.

The suzerain looked at him coldly, with a sneer hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Ge Tianba said: "Please rest assured, the suzerain, the subordinates will find out the truth as soon as possible."

The suzerain let out a sinister laugh: "Well said! My iron hand group has such a loyal subordinate as Mr. Ge, what else can't be done?

Is there anything else you dare not do?Hire salt lords, rob barges, form private alliances with the government, embezzle public salt, and kill people! "

Ge Tianba's head buzzed, and he suddenly raised his head.

The suzerain said: "Everything has been planned carefully and with good intentions! Zhuangzhu Ge, you are really talented!"

Ge Tianba was trembling and terrified all over his body: "What did the suzerain say, the subordinates don't, no, don't understand..."

The suzerain said coldly: "I will let you understand."

With that said, he rushed outside and said, "Bring him in."

Diao Qing and Lang Quan, the killers of Iron Hands, led Deng Tong into the Crouching Tiger Hall after hearing the sound.

Ge Tianba gasped.

The suzerain looked at him mockingly and said, "Do you know this person?"

Ge Tianba nodded and said, "He is the leader of Crouching Tiger Village, Deng Tong."

The suzerain said: "Deng Tong, tell me!"
