Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 760
Di Renjie said: "You did the right thing. Everything is still unclear at the moment, and we must not startle the enemy to make the other party aware of it.

According to Zhong, the dwarf was named Tak, a Tule native, born with disabled hands, and had been with Shar Khan since before he joined the Shanjin Bureau. "

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, raised their eyebrows and said, "Oh? Then, what is his relationship with Tie Le..."

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "That's the blame. Tucker is not Tie Le, but he has the same height, the same disabled hands, and both are Tule people. Is all this a coincidence..."

At this time, Li Yuanfang said: "My lord, from the humble point of view, now that the truth is revealed, this issue is no longer important."

Di Renjie stared at Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang and said, "Oh, the truth is revealed?"

Wang Mang didn't speak.

Li Yuanfang said excitedly: "Think about it, the red clay piled up at the foot of the west wall is specially prepared for building a silver melting furnace.

Now that the red soil is gone, it means that the silver melting furnace has been built, and the work will start as soon as the looted gold and silver arrive!
This is what Tucker and the housekeeper meant when they visited Shafu the day before yesterday in the back hall. "

Di Renjie looked at Li Yuanfang and encouraged him, "Go ahead."

Wang Mang also listened carefully to Li Yuanfang's analysis.

The more Li Yuanfang talked, the more determined his expression became: "There are also those charcoal piled under the foot of the east wall. According to Jingyang, two days ago, there were tens of thousands of catties piled in the back hall, and today only half of them are left.

Today, Jing Yang and I saw Tak Commander Ding transporting charcoal into the secret passage with our own eyes, which is even more telling. There must be many silver melting furnaces hidden in the secret passage.

Moreover, I can be sure that the missing silversmith and the robbed gold and silver must be there! "

Di Renjie pondered for a long time, then raised his head and said, "What are those five carriages for?"

Wang Mang shook his head.

Li Yuanfang was startled by the question, and immediately said: "This...my lord, I think that the five carriages may be just suspicious soldiers to divert other people's attention, and may have nothing to do with this case at all.

Hey, my lord, don't we have enough clues so far?From the humble point of view, as long as the Shafu is raided, the truth will definitely be revealed! "

Di Renjie waved his hand and said: "But at present, we don't have the slightest evidence that the Holy Majesty felt very sorry for Shar Khan's death. You have all seen that today at Chengfu Gate, Lu Zheng and the treasury officer were almost dealt with on the spot.

Once we raid the Shafu and fail to achieve the desired purpose, things will not be good. "

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanfang remonstrated: "My lord, the opportunity is fleeting. If we delay and let the bad guys escape, then..."

Wang Mang also nodded: "My lord, in my opinion, there must be ghosts in this Sha Mansion!"

Di Renjie slowly walked up, and after a long time, he stopped and said: "Jing Yang, Yuan Fang, I think so, after nightfall, you two will visit Shar Khan's residence three times.

Zeng Tai, Wang Xiaojie and I led our subordinates to wait outside Shafu.

Once you find conclusive evidence, immediately release the arrows, and I lead the army to attack the mansion. By that time, everyone will get all the stolen goods, and the Holy Majesty will be unhappy and speechless. "

Li Yuanfang slapped his palms together and said: "A brilliant plan! My lord, if you really have it, let's do it like this!"

Wang Mang also laughed.

……

The clapper has been beaten at the beginning of the new generation, and the wind blows, making a whining sound.

In the quiet night came the sound of hurried footsteps, and a group of yamen servants, police officers, and right-wing guards rushed forward under the command of Di Renjie, Zeng Tai, and Wang Xiaojie, and surrounded the Shar Khan's mansion in a blink of an eye.

Di Renjie looked up at the sky, and said to Zeng Tai and Wang Xiaojie: "Order all the troops to stay in hiding and never reveal their whereabouts. Wait for news from Jing Yang and Yuan Fang."

The two answered yes in a low voice, and went separately to deliver the order.

……

It was quiet in the back garden, and five carriages were lined up in front of the back hall.

Two black shadows rushed into the courtyard like lightning, floated over the roof of the back hall, and landed on the side of the back gable. They were Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang.

The two looked at each other, Wang Mang made a gesture to go in, Li Yuanfang nodded, Wang Mang perched in front of the rear window, shook his palm, "click", the rear window opened, and the two of them walked in.

The back hall was pitch black, Wang Mang turned on the fire, and said softly to Li Yuanfang: "Let's split up and find the mechanism to open the secret door."

Li Yuanfang nodded: "You look for this side, I'll look for that side."

At some point in the night, the lanterns swayed, and several people walked quickly along the small bridge outside the back garden, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the Moon Gate.

It was Mrs. Zhong and several servants.

A figure flashed behind the rockery next to the small bridge, and Tucker walked out quickly and said, "Ma'am."

Zhong glanced at him, then hummed coldly and said, "Open the door of the back garden."

Tucker smiled and said, "I'm sorry Ma'am, this is not where you came from, please go back."

Zhong glanced at him and said with a sneer, "There is something I want you to know. My husband, Shar Khan, has passed away, which means that your backer is gone. There is only one person in this family who can give orders. that's me!"

Tucker's face changed and he said: "Sister-in-law, the back garden is an absolute forbidden area in the mansion. This was set by the eldest brother before his death. Now his bones are not cold, so you want to..."

Zhong said angrily: "Shut up, who is your sister-in-law and who is your elder brother!

My husband took you in because of your disability, and he supported you when he was alive. You can really do whatever you want!

But now that he's dead, you still dare to sit like this, it's really beyond your control, it's ridiculous.You open the door right away and pay yourself back.

Otherwise, you will be tied up and sent to the government immediately, and you will be convicted of insulting your dead brother and widow, and you will be sentenced to five years at least! "

Tucker was taken aback, and took two steps back, but still stood firmly in front of the door and said, "No matter what, you must not enter the back garden!"

Zhong sneered, and said to the servant next to him, "Tie him up for me!"

The servants swarmed up and pushed Tucker to the ground. At this moment, figures flickered behind the rockery, and several people dressed as servants rushed out from the darkness. The servant he brought was knocked to the ground.

Zhong Shi was trembling with anger, and shouted sharply: "Come on, come on!"

Dozens of family members, both men and women, came running in the darkness, and surrounded the back garden in a blink of an eye.

Tucker led a few of his men to stand in front of the back garden gate.

Zhong Shi pointed at his nose and cursed.

Here Wang Mang was looking for the mechanism in the back hall, suddenly, he heard him whispering: "I found it!"

Li Yuanfang hurried over, Wang Mang pointed to a small button hidden in the pilaster on the side of the west wall and said, "Brother Yuanfang, look at this."

Li Yuanfang took a closer look at the torch and said, "It must be here."

Suddenly there was a burst of shouting and cursing, and Wang Mang was startled: "What's going on?"

Li Yuanfang said, "Did your lord act ahead of time?"

Wang Mang shook his head and said, "It's absolutely impossible!"

As he spoke, he listened intently, "It seems that someone is arguing outside the back garden gate. Well, forget about it, open the secret door and go down to find out what happened!"

Li Yuanfang nodded and pressed the button.

With a roar, the west gable slowly opened, revealing the secret passage below.

Wang Mang stretched out his hand and drew out his long sword, and said to Li Yuanfang, "Let's go!"

Li Yuanfang drew out his dagger and followed Wang Mang into the secret passage.

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang ran down the steps quickly, suddenly, a brightly lit secret room appeared in front of them.

Wang Mang made a gesture, and the two quickly leaned against the wall, looking out with their heads.

I saw five or six metallurgical furnaces built with red clay in the secret room, and several craftsmen poured molten gold water into the mold.

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, with triumphant smiles on their faces, Li Yuanfang said softly, "Jing Yang, let the arrows go!"

Wang Mang smiled and nodded.
