Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 784 Xiaohong
Zeng Tai said: "I asked why my benefactor and Jing Yang brought her with me. Ruyan, you came just in time. We found the gangster's lair in Shangling Village. I was going back to the city to dispatch troops, but you just came. God help me too!"

Ruyan nodded, and said to Fenghuang: "This is really killing two birds with one stone, not only finding the princess, but also helping uncle catch the gangster!"

Fenghuang said: "It's not too late, let's act!"

Zeng Tai said: "Ruyan, the leader of the big pavilion, order the guards and Yamen arresters to extinguish the torches, so as not to scare the snakes."

Fenghuang nodded and passed down the general order.

In an instant the torches went out.

The brigade ran to Shangling Village under the cover of night.

Jiao Lei rolled, and lightning flashed frequently.

Five harnessed carriages were parked in the empty field, but the people who harnessed them were gone.

Di Renjie, Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Wu Yuanmin quietly observed the movement below behind the broken wall.

Wang Mang looked at the sky and said softly, "It's been almost a quarter of an hour since they went back, why hasn't there been any movement?"

Di Renjie lowered his voice and said, "Be patient, I think it will be soon."

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other and waited patiently.

Under the cover of night, the large group of people galloped towards them. Zeng Tai, the leader, stopped his horse and raised his right hand high. The large group slowly stopped at the entrance of the village.

Ruyan and Fenghuang urged their horses to catch up and said, "Uncle Zeng, is this Shangling Village?"

Zeng Tai nodded.

At this moment, in the darkness, a figure galloped towards him.

Zeng Tai jumped off his horse.

The figure rushed forward, it was a guard who stayed behind: "Master Zeng, you are back."

Zeng Tai nodded and said, "No movement yet?"

The guard shook his head and said, "My lord told me to wait for you and the brigade here."

Zeng Tai looked around, then lowered his voice and said: "I see it this way, Ruyan, you and Dage lead the brigade to ambush in the woods on both sides of the mountain, and you must not move without authorization. I will sneak into the village first Master explained the situation."

Ru Yan said: "Uncle Zeng, tell Uncle, you must keep an eye on the princess, that little girl is very slippery, if you don't pay attention, you don't know what will happen."

Zeng Tai said, "Don't worry."

Ruyan nodded, got off the horse, and whispered some instructions to Zhang Huan and Li Lang.

The two ran to pass on the general order.

The brigade moved quickly.

Under the guidance of the guards, Zeng Tai ran towards the village under the cover of night.

……

The five carriages were still parked in the middle of the empty field.

The horse neighed anxiously, and its hooves stomped on the ground.

A muffled thunder rolled across the sky, making a loud rumbling noise.

The flames at the west end of the village flickered, approaching from far away.

The shadow of the lamp flickered, and a figure could be vaguely seen walking towards the empty field.

Behind the ruined wall, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang moved their ears slightly, and said softly, "They are here!"

Di Renjie nodded.

Wu Yuanmin said softly: "What do these people do? They look like ghosts."

Li Yuanfang said: "They are all bad people."

Wu Yuanmin nodded.

In a blink of an eye, five carters walked quickly to the empty field with sacks on their backs, put the sacks into the carriage, and then, the five turned around and ran back.

Wang Mang said, "They are leaving."

Di Renjie nodded, but did not speak.

Li Yuanfang said, "Brother Zeng hasn't come back yet, what should we do?"

Di Renjie pondered for a moment and said, "Follow me."

Before he finished speaking, there was a rush of footsteps behind him, and the guard led Zeng Tai into the broken courtyard.

Di Renjie was overjoyed and stood up.

Zeng Tai rushed forward and said softly, "Men, I'm back."

Di Renjie said joyfully: "Zeng Tai, you are really a noble soldier!"

Wang Mang praised: "Brother Zeng, it took less than three hours to go back and forth, you are really amazing!"

Li Yuanfang smiled and said, "Brother Zeng, you came just in time, I didn't expect you to be so fast!"

Zeng Tai laughed and said, "I met Ruyan and Fenghuang, the leader of the Grand Pavilion of the Neiwei Mansion halfway, otherwise I won't be able to come back tomorrow morning."

Li Yuanfang asked strangely: "Ruyan, isn't she looking for the princess in the city, why did she come here?"

Although the voices of several people were speaking in a low voice, Wu Yuanmin beside Li Yuanfang heard it. She was startled and raised her head.

Suddenly, Wang Mang and Zeng Tai hissed, pulled Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai aside, and whispered something.

Wu Yuanmin pretended to be nonchalant, moved his body to the side, and listened to the conversation with his ears.

Suddenly, Li Yuanfang blurted out in surprise: "It's her!"

While speaking, he turned his head and looked at Wu Yuanmin.

Wang Mang quickly turned his body around.

Wu Yuanmin took a deep breath, his mind spinning rapidly.

Over there, Li Yuanfang said in surprise: "You and Jing Yang already knew she was a princess?"

Wang Mang said: "I also know that I doubt it."

Di Renjie nodded and said: "In the small restaurant in Wuliu Town, she taught the waiter to cook, so I concluded that this person must be Princess Yingyang.

Just think about it, how can a little beggar know so much about the best dishes.

I observed carefully that her inability to eat ordinary people's food was far from faking.

Also, this seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl is completely ignorant of worldly affairs.

Finally, it is her temperament. Although she is wearing beggar clothes, her temperament tells me that she is actually a noble person. "

Li Yuanfang nodded and said, "I said, why must my lord bring her with me?"

Di Renjie said: "Don't let her know our identities, otherwise she will flee again."

Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang, and Zeng Tai looked at each other and nodded.

At this moment, Wu Yuanmin said softly: "Come, come."

Wang Mang, Di Renjie and others hurried to the broken wall and looked down.

I saw five carters carrying two large black wooden boxes into the empty field, put the wooden boxes on the last carriage, turned around and ran back.

Di Renjie pondered for a moment, and said to Wang Mang, Zeng Tai, and Li Yuanfang, "Let's rush to the entrance of the village immediately to meet Ruyan and Fenghuang."

Everyone nodded and answered yes, and ran out of the courtyard on tiptoe.

……

Ruyan and Fenghuang stood at the entrance of the village, waiting anxiously.

Fenghuang looked around the village from time to time.

A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the entire mountain village.

In the distance, several figures rushed towards the entrance of the village.

Ruyan said: "Here we come!"

The two walked forward quickly.

As expected, it was Di Renjie, Wang Mang and his party who came.

Ruyan called out: "Uncle!"

Di Renjie smiled and said: "Okay, Ruyan, the leader of the big pavilion, you came at the right time!"

Wang Mang laughed and said, "That's what it's called, it's better to come early than to be coincidental."

Li Yuanfang also smiled and said: "Ruyan, you have come here this time with the style of an adult solving a case."

Ruyan said with a smile, "I've been with uncle for a few years, so let's get a little airy."

She looked behind Li Yuanfang and said, "Hey, where is the princess?"

Wang Mang, Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang, and Zeng Tai looked at each other, and turned their heads to look. Except for a few guards behind them, there was no trace of Wu Yuanmin.

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other, they were startled, and asked Li Yuanfang, "Yuanfang, where is Xiaohong?"

Li Yuanfang's face also changed: "When she left the small courtyard, she, she followed you and Jingyang, I thought..."
