Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 79 The Bee Plan ([-])
At night, in the abandoned small courtyard in the back garden of Liujiazhuang.

A figure walked over quickly and stopped in front of the small courtyard. It was Liu Chali.

He first looked around vigilantly, but there was no one.

Then he took out the key, unlocked the door, and walked in quickly.

Liu Zhali came to the door of the small building on the second floor, knocked lightly on the door three times and on the door frame twice, the door opened automatically, and Liu Zhali stepped in.

After a while, Liu Zhali came out from the door and locked the door of the courtyard again.

He looked around, but there was no one, so he breathed a sigh of relief and walked away quickly.

After Liu Chali left, a person jumped down from the tree outside the courtyard, and it was Li Yuanfang.

Li Yuanfang looked at Liu Zhali's actions, with doubts in his eyes, and walked towards the small courtyard, but for some reason, he stopped suddenly.

Li Yuanfang pondered for a moment, instead of going to the small courtyard, she followed Liu Chali back.

In the middle of the night, Liu Charlie and Yingyu were sleeping soundly on the bed. Suddenly, Liu Charlie opened his eyes suddenly.

He stood up slowly, and softly shouted: "Yu'er, Yu'er..."

Yingyu hummed softly, turned over, and Liu Charlie carefully removed the quilt and got out of bed.

Liu Charlie put on a coat, came to the Eight Immortals table in the outer room, stepped on a chair and climbed onto the table, took a vase from the wall cabinet, and stretched out his hand to feel on the wall.

Suddenly, his hand stopped on a raised part of the wall, and he pressed lightly on the wall. With a soft "click!", a hidden space popped up on the wall.

Liu Charlie looked back into the back room vigilantly, but there was no movement.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly opened the secret door. There was an oilcloth package inside. Liu Charlie reached out and opened the package.

Under the light of the moonlight, I finally saw the contents of the package. It turned out to be a book with three words written on it—The Story of Blue Shirt.

After Liu Charlie saw the book, he was relieved.

After reconfirming, put it back to its original place and restore everything.

……

Night, a guest room in Baoling Hall in Zhoucheng.

Wang Mang, Di Renjie, and Zeng Tai were talking in low voices.

Di Renjie asked: "Jing Yang, do you know where Mr. Liu lives in Zhoucheng?"

Wang Mang said: "Of course I know, I have been there once, let's go and see tomorrow."

Zeng Tai asked strangely: "Uncle, how did you know?"

Wang Mang smiled and said, "Half a year ago, I came to Baoling Hall in Zhoucheng, and I met Brother Chuanlin when I was treating patients."

Di Renjie asked: "Jing Yang, what disease does Mr. Liu suffer from, that you have become friends?"

Wang Mang said: "My lord, Mr. Liu was poisoned. He was bitten by a snake. We just met. You knew that I was interested in snake venom when you were in Youzhou. If there are other intractable diseases, I really don't care about it." It will definitely be cured!"

Di Renjie nodded: "So it's snake venom!"

Zeng Tai exclaimed: "It turns out that uncle is a master of medicine, he is really a young hero!"

Wang Mang smiled and said, "I can't do it. Compared with adults, my ability is far behind. Magistrate Zeng, don't you know that Di Gong is also called by the people?"

Di Renjie raised his brows: "Oh? Jing Yang, tell me."

Zeng Tai also pricked up his ears.

Wang Mang smiled and said, "Many folk storytellers call adults Di Sanzhen?"

Zeng Tai asked suspiciously, "Di Sanzhen?"

Wang Mang explained: "Yes, there is no disease that cannot be cured by adults with three needles."

Di Renjie waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's all rumors, many diseases can't be cured with silver needles."

Wang Mang nodded: "That's right, there's nothing you can do about it in a vegetative state."

When Di Renjie heard this, his face darkened.

Zeng Tai asked strangely, "What vegetable?"

Wang Mang said, "That's just a medical term."

Zeng Tai nodded and stopped asking further questions.

Di Renjie said: "Magistrate Zeng, early tomorrow morning, you take my name card to the governor's mansion and ask them to send a yamen servant to go with us to Liu Chuanlin's rented home in Zhoucheng."

Zeng Tai replied "Yes".

The second day, early in the morning.

The long streets and alleys in the city.

Yamen servants surrounded the alley, and a blue official sedan chair came slowly.

The cyan sedan chair stopped in front of a private house, the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and Di Renjie came out of the sedan chair. Wang Mang and Zeng Tai accompanied a middle-aged man in a scarlet official robe to chat in a low voice.

As soon as Zeng Tai saw Di Renjie, he said to the middle-aged man, "Lord Inspector, this is Old Di Ge."

The governor nodded, hurriedly greeted him, and said: "I pay homage to elder Ge, please forgive the crime of failing to welcome me."

Di Renjie nodded: "My lord, no courtesy, this time I come here in disguise, so all the etiquette is kept simple!"

After thanking the governor, he stood up.

Di Renjie asked, "Where is the owner of this house?"

The governor replied: "Old Huige, the owner of this private house, Wang Xiaoer, has been brought here."

Di Renjie nodded: "Call me here."

Soon, Wang Mang brought Wang Xiaoer to Di Renjie, and Wang Xiaoer hurriedly bowed, "Caomin Wang Xiaoer has seen your lord!"

Di Renjie nodded: "Get up, have you ever rented the yard to a Mr. Jia?"

Wang Xiaoer thanked him, stood up and said, "Caomin once rented Xikua Courtyard to Young Master Jia and a Miss Fang."

Di Renjie said: "Well, lead us in and have a look!"

Wang Xiaoer bowed and replied, "Yes!"

Soon, everyone came to Xikuayuan.

Di Renjie walked into the main room. The room was bright and the windows were bright. There were many books on the desk, and there were no other objects except tables, chairs, bed benches.

Di Renjie walked slowly to the desk, casually picked up a book, opened it, looked at it, and said to Zeng Tai, "Bring these books back to Huzhou."

Zeng Tai replied "Yes!"

Wang Mang looked at Wang Xiaoer's nervous look, and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, we just ask you a few questions."

Wang Xiaoer nodded: "My lord, you can ask."

Wang Mang asked, "How long have Mr. Jia and his wife lived here, and when did they leave?"

Di Renjie and Zeng Tai also looked at Wang Xiaoer when they heard Wang Mang's question.

Wang Xiaoer recalled: "I lived here for about half a year. That Mr. Jia may be in business, and he often runs outside. Only his wife is at home."

Di Renjie asked, "Can you see her often?"

Wang Xiaoer shook his head, and said: "His wife Fang has a very strange temper, she often ignores people, and she doesn't visit the house, and I haven't seen her a few times."

Di Renjie nodded: "Look at the situation in this house, Mr. Jia is still living here!"

Wang Xiaoer sighed: "If you say this Mr. Jia is also a poor man."

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What's wrong?"

Wang Xiaoer said: "One month ago, Mr. Jia came back from other places and found that his wife left without saying goodbye."

Di Renjie asked: "You mean that Fang disappeared by himself, not that Mr. Jia abandoned him."

Wang Xiaoer nodded: "Yes, Mr. Jia was very anxious at that time, and hurriedly searched for it. The villain also helped, but he still couldn't find it. Mr. Jia was really sad for a while because of this."

Di Renjie and Wang Mang looked at each other.

Di Renjie nodded: "Understood."

Then he turned his head to the governor and said, "Secretly guard this room, no one is allowed to enter."

The governor answered "Yes!"

On the way back, Di Renjie said to Wang Mang: "It seems that Mr. Liu didn't lie to you back then, it was indeed Yingyu who ran away by herself."

Wang Mang nodded: "Now, there is enough evidence to prove that Yingyu lied to us!"

Di Renjie nodded: "Go, go back and see what Yuan Fang has gained."

Wang Mang and Zeng Tai nodded yes.
