Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 741 The Ice Cellar
Wu Youde withdrew his legs suddenly, and said coldly: "Haven't you heard of Jun Wu's joke? The imperial decree has been issued, and I can't let it go, let alone you!
For these two days, you have to stay in your room, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. You will only have to wait for the canonization to arrive in two days! "

The princess's crying stopped abruptly, and she looked at Wu Youde with tearful eyes of despair. After a long time, she stood up slowly and walked towards the back hall.

Looking at her back, Wu Youde breathed a long sigh of relief, and his wife sobbed, "My lord, poor child, can't you think of a way?"

Wu Youde turned around sharply, stared at his wife viciously and said every word: "You think I am willing to marry my daughter to Turkic, you think I want my own daughter to be a puppet in the desert! Ah? Isn't that right? Let Di Renjie force you!"

The madam was full of doubts and sobbed, "Di Renjie, what does this have to do with Di Renjie?"

Wu Youde took a deep breath and said, "The incident of Zhao Yongrong and I reselling feather arrows happened. The Holy Lord ordered Di Renjie to be in charge of the investigation. In a few days, he cheated and defrauded him. He asked about [-]% of the case, and the investigation continued. It's not just about arrows...

If I don't sacrifice my daughter, the case will continue to be investigated. At that time, I will be smashed to pieces and die without a place to die! "

Accompanied by Madam's exclamation, there was a thunderstorm outside the window, and the lightning flashed on Wu Youde's face, and a sinister smile slowly burst out on his sinister face.

There was another flash of lightning, and Wu Youde said softly: "What I sacrificed was only my daughter, but what Di Renjie wants to sacrifice..."

"Boom!"

A thunderbolt exploded in front of the window.

There was thunder and lightning outside the window, and heavy rain poured down.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in an underground ice cellar in Baolingtang.

Wang Mang walked in, followed by Xiaotao, Xiaomei and Xiaofeng.

Xiaotao asked, "Master, is the sister Xiaoqing you mentioned here?"

Wang Mang nodded: "That's right, Xiaoqing's consciousness has fallen into a deep sleep, and now she can only rely on this ice cellar to keep her body alive."

Saying that, several people came to the ice cellar, and there was a crystal coffin in the center, and there was a person lying quietly in it, it was Xiaoqing.

The third daughter, Xiaotao, came over and looked at Xiaoqing who was lying in the coffin with a trace of unbearable expression on her face.

Originally, they were dissatisfied with Wang Mang's concealment of their going to Yangzhou and having a relationship with Xiaoqing, but seeing Xiaoqing's appearance now, they suddenly softened their hearts.

Xiaotao, Xiaomei, and Xiaofeng looked at each other, and sighed: "Master, is there really no way to save Miss Xiaoqing?"

Wang Mang hesitated for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's very difficult. I read in the book that there is a miracle in Persia that can revive a vegetable like Xiaoqing, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that even if such a strange thing exists, I'm afraid it's not easy to find it!"

Wang Mang sighed.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Looking at the appearance of the husband, I'm afraid he must have an idea in his heart?"

Xiaotao and Xiaomei said.

Wang Mang nodded: "Xiaoqing must be rescued, and according to my speculation, the Fire Xingzhu may also be in the countries of the Western Regions, so I am going to go west."

Xiaotao and the three daughters frowned immediately: "Master, so you are leaving again soon?"

Wang Mang smiled wryly: "Yeah, I didn't tell you not to come to Luoyang, anyway, I'm going back to Liangzhou soon."

"What? Are you starting to dislike our sisters?"

Xiao Tao raised her brows immediately.

Wang Mang quickly waved his hand: "How could it be, well, since you are here, let's go back together when we go back."

Xiaotao and the three girls looked at each other and nodded.

Suddenly, Wang Mang asked: "By the way, what happened to the gunpowder I asked you to test? Can the power reach the level I mentioned?"

Xiaotao nodded: "With your formula, Mr. Xiang, the experiment went smoothly, but it is not yet possible to manufacture it in large quantities."

Wang Mang nodded: "This time, you must speed up when you go back. I don't think she has much time left. As long as the prince and Liang Wang are under control, everything will be fine. But just in case, Everyone who gives us must be equipped with gunpowder."

Xiaotao and the three daughters nodded.

……

At night, the wind lamps of the various courtyards of the Nanping Prince's Mansion have been extinguished, only the lights on the Xiulou are still on.

Princess Wu Yuanmin sat blankly in front of the mirror, motionless.

The maid Chunhong stood aside and looked at her worriedly. After a long time, Chunhong called softly: "Princess..."

The princess didn't move, Chunhong called out again: "The princess..."

The Princess suddenly woke up and asked softly, "Chunhong, what time is it?"

"It's four o'clock, princess, it's time for you to rest."

The princess didn't speak, looking at herself in the mirror, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

The rumbling thunder rolled past the window.

It was late at night, and there was silence in the palace.

The window of Xiulou opened slightly, and a black shadow rushed out, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

……

In front of the gate of Luozhou Governor's Mansion, a pair of hands held a drumstick and beat the drum desperately, making a deafening roar.

Dozens of old and weak women and children knelt in front of the gate of the governor's mansion, holding petitions in their hands and shouting for grievances.

The door of the mansion opened with a "squeak", and a palm guard came out quickly, looked at the women and said, "Oh, why are you again.

I told you a few days ago that the governor's office was on a business trip to search the whole city, but the silversmiths were not in the city.You guys, why are you here again..."

An old woman knelt and climbed two steps: "Up and down, it has been two months, and no one is alive or dead. Does the yamen not care?"

The women around shouted, "That's right, you don't even care about the lost people, what kind of yamen are you!"

"My husband has been away from home for several months. There are old and young in the family, and we can't get rid of it!"

Zhang Gu said with an innocent face: "I said, ladies, aunts, elder sisters, sisters-in-law, and elder sisters, each of your households has received money from other employers, and you also know that men go out to do work. What do you do when you come back tonight?" Great, what are you suing?"

A young woman shouted: "How many days? At that time, the employer agreed with us to return in three days, but it has been two months now, how can we say it is a few days!"

The speaker was Le Shi, wife of silversmith Li Yong.

Zhang Gu glanced at her, and said impatiently: "Then tell me, what do you want to do?"

Le Shi said: "Accept the complaint and find our husband for us!"

Zhang Gu said: "Didn't I say that the silversmiths are not in Luoyang City, where can you tell the Yamen to find them!"

Le Shi said angrily: "But our man was cheated away in Luoyang City, why should the yamen ignore it?"

Zhang Gu said angrily: "You woman is really unreasonable..."

"What's going on!"

A deep voice sounded not far away, Zhang Gu was startled and looked up.
