Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 701 Surrounding
In the main hall in the back garden of He Zhai, Wang Mang, Lu Jiying, Ning Shi, Di Chun, Zhang Huan, Li Lang, Shen Tao, Xiao Bao, Pang Si, and Fang Jiu stood in front of the map stand.

Di Renjie's finger landed heavily on the word Crouching Tiger Town.

He turned around and said to everyone: "Tomorrow we will set off for Crouching Tiger Town, join up with the brigade led by Zeng Tai, and first form a water and land encirclement of Crouching Tiger Village.

After the siege is completed, a frontal attack will be launched, in order to quickly defeat Crouching Tiger Village and recover the missing official salt! "

Everyone nodded.

Lu Jiying said: "Old Ge, do you want to take away all the guards in Xuyi City?"

Di Renjie pondered for a moment and said: "Now that the situation in Xuyi is not stable, the guards are staying in the city to prevent any accidents!"

Lu Jiying said: "Old Ge, is it too dangerous to go to Crouching Tiger Town with only a few of us? You are the commander-in-chief of the whole army. Once something unexpected happens, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Di Renjie said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch tiger cubs! Besides, Zeng Tai's army must have arrived at Crouching Tiger Town, and with Jing Yang as a master, there is no need to worry about safety."

Lu Jiying glanced at Wang Mang and nodded.

Wang Mang said with a smile: "Brother Lu, don't worry, with me here, unless the suzerain of the Iron Hands Group comes in person, your lord will never be in danger."

Lu Jiying asked worriedly: "Jing Yang, what if the suzerain of the Iron Hands comes?"

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other, and Wang Mang said confidently, "Don't worry, Brother Lu, our operation this time is top secret, and it's impossible for the Iron Hands to know about it."

Lu Jiying looked around the crowd and said with a smile: "It seems that I am worrying too much!"

Di Renjie smiled: "Jiying, you don't worry at all."

As he spoke, his eyes swept over everyone in the hall: "Remember, this operation must be kept absolutely confidential and must not be mentioned to anyone. Anyone who violates the order will be severely punished!"

Everyone said in unison, "Yes."

Di Renjie took a deep breath and said, "I think the day when the Hangou shipwreck case is revealed to the world is not far away!"

Looking at the faces of the crowd, Wang Mang smiled meaningfully.

……

Crouching Tiger Town is located in the south of Xuyi, facing the mighty Hongze Lake in the north, and the vast Luanyun Mountain in the south. There are many Baiping Islands dotted around the town.

Crouching Tiger Town is not big, with a total of three to five hundred households. It was almost dusk, and the streets were less crowded.

The setting sun is like blood.

In the afterglow of the sunset, several familiar figures appeared at the intersection, they were Wang Mang, Di Renjie and his party.

Everyone walked into the town slowly, walked along the street, and looked around.

Di Renjie said, "Jing Yang, is this Crouching Tiger Town?"

Wang Mang said, "Exactly."

Di Renjie asked, "Where is Crouching Tiger Manor?"

Wang Mang said, "Five miles to the south from here."

Di Renjie nodded slowly and said, "Which direction is Jiaowang Temple?"

Wang Mang said: "Forty miles to the west of Crouching Tiger Town is Jiaowang Temple."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Is there a place to rest in this town?"

Wang Mang pointed to the front and said, "There is a Hongze Inn not far ahead."

Di Renjie pondered for a while and said, "Jiying."

Lu Jiying hurriedly said, "Sir."

Di Renjie said: "Now, Zeng Tai must have led an army to settle in the Mosquito King's Temple. You and Pang Si will rush there immediately, and ask Zeng Tai to lead his army into Crouching Tiger Town to join me at midnight."

Lu Jiying said, "Yes."

Di Renjie said: "We are waiting for your news in the Hongze Inn, go and come back quickly."

Lu Jiying nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord!"

After speaking, he and Pang Si walked west quickly.

Wang Mang looked at the backs of the two of them, and exchanged a glance with Di Renjie, and there was a hint of meaningful scrutiny in their eyes.

Di Renjie turned his head to Di Chun and the others and said, "Let's go!"

Wang Mang nodded, and led a group of people towards Hongze Inn.

……

Inside the Crouching Tiger Hall, the Sovereign wandered anxiously with his hands behind his back, stopping from time to time to listen to the movement outside.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

The suzerain stopped abruptly and looked towards the door.

The door of the hall opened with a "bang", and Hu Yun rushed in: "Sect Master!"

The suzerain stepped forward quickly: "How is it?"

Hu Yun said: "There is news from the spy in Crouching Tiger Town that Di Renjie has arrived and is now staying in the Hongze Inn!"

The suzerain let out a long breath, with a smile on his face.

……

The night was dark and there was silence outside Jiaowang Temple.

There was a faint light of fire in the distance, and the light of fire was getting closer and closer. It was Lu Jiying and Pang Si rushing forward with torches held high, and they arrived in front of the ruins of the ancestral hall in a blink of an eye.

Lu Jiying said, "Is this the Jiaowang Temple?"

Pang Si nodded and said, "Exactly."

Lu Jiying asked strangely: "Why so quiet?"

Pang Si said: "I don't know. Could it be that Mr. Zeng and Dajun haven't arrived yet?"

Lu Jiying shook his head and said, "Impossible?! Pang Si, did you go the wrong way?"

Pang Si smiled: "Lord Lu, this Jiaowang Temple is our Yan Xiao's home, how could we find the wrong one?"

Lu Jiying said, "Let's go and have a look in the woods."

The two walked quickly into the woods.

Holding torches, Lu Jiying and Pang Si walked into the woods, looked around, and whispered in their mouths: "Master Zeng, Master Zeng! Are you there?!"

Suddenly, there was a loud "squeak" in the darkness, and a loud arrow shot into the sky.

Lu Jiying and Pang Dada looked up in surprise.

……

It was already late at night, and there was silence in Crouching Tiger Town.

The cold wind howled, bringing the sound of the waves crashing on the shore in the distance.

There was a sound of footsteps in the silence, and groups of men in black rushed into the town quickly, and quickly seized the street intersections and various traffic arteries.

Wang Mang and Di Renjie waited anxiously in the Hongze Inn room.

Di Chun came in and said, "Master, Lord Hou, Lu Jiying and Pang Si are back!"

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other, and they said happily, "That's great! Let's go!"

With that said, he left the room and ran to the door of the inn.

Suddenly, Wang Mang stopped in his tracks.

Di Renjie also stopped behind Wang Mang.

In front of the two of them, Lu Jiying and Pang Si stood in front of the door, with steel knives on their necks, and the killers Diao Qing, Gui Jie, Lu Ba, and Lang Quan of the Iron Hands Group stood behind them. , looking coldly at Wang Mang and Di Renjie opposite.

Di Renjie was shocked, and took two steps back, Wang Mang stepped forward quickly, and supported Di Renjie.

"what!"

Di Chun, who was following Wang Mang, was also stunned, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"How about it, Master Di, didn't expect that?!"

A familiar voice came from outside, and Di Renjie raised his head.

The three of them slowly walked into the courtyard from the door, and Di Renjie was stunned when he saw it.

These three people are none other than Cui Liang, governor of Yangzhou, Wu Wendeng, governor of Yangzhou, and Yang Jiucheng, envoy of water transportation.

Di Renjie took a breath and said, "It's you!"

Wang Mang had never seen these three people before, so he looked at Di Renjie: "My lord, who are they?"

Cui Liang glanced at Wang Mang, and smiled: "Oh, it seems that this is the famous Wang Houye in the world, I forgot to introduce to Wang Houye, I am Cui Liang, the governor of Yangzhou, and these two are... "

"Long Shi Wu Wendeng!"

"Water transport envoy Yang Jiucheng!"

Wang Mang took a deep breath: "It turned out to be you!"
