Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 826 Core Conspiracy
Suddenly, Di Renjie looked at the half piece of paper in his hand. The piece of paper was snatched from the mouth of the dead Shar Khan. On it was written "... Luoyang East Hundred and Twenty Miles..."

He walked slowly to the map and pointed to Xiaoliuzhuang, 120 miles away.

He was thinking quietly, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said softly: "Little Liu Zhuang, this must be where they meet...why didn't I think of this earlier!"

He pondered for a while, then seemed to have made up his mind, and shouted outside: "Defoe!"

The hall door opened with a "bang", Ruyan rushed in and said, "Uncle!"

Di Renjie said, "Ruyan, I'm going to ask Di Fu to call you."

Ru Yan said anxiously: "Uncle, it has been two days, you have made everyone anxious by suffocating yourself in the main hall without eating or drinking!"

Di Renjie let out a long sigh and said, "It's hard for you. It happened so suddenly that I was a little caught off guard. I have to think back and sort things out...

What kind of flaws did we have that caused the other party to take advantage of the gap and succeed in one fell swoop. "

Ruyan said: "Then, do you want to understand?"

Di Renjie nodded slowly and said, "It's because we put the cart before the horse and were not sensitive enough to the core conspiracy, so we fell into the opponent's trap."

Ruyan fell into the fog: "What does this mean?"

Di Renjie took a deep breath and explained: "A few days ago, we devoted ourselves to the robbery of the Shanjin Bureau and the disappearance of the silversmith. After arduous investigation, we finally rescued the missing silversmith and recovered the silver carriage.

Just when we were complacent and thought we had cracked each other's conspiracy, the real danger approached quietly.

Because we made the big mistake of focusing too much on these two side cases, and just ignoring the backbone of the whole conspiracy. "

Ruyan said: "You mean, the robbery of the Shanjin Bureau and the disappearance of the silversmith are side-effects?"

Di Renjie nodded: "Not bad."

Ruyan said: "Then what do you mean by the backbone?"

Di Renjie said: "The backbone of this conspiracy is of course the ultimate goal of He Lu, Shar Khan and others - to get rid of Ji Li Khan and me, and provoke a war between the two countries.

In fact, many omens had appeared before this, such as the Nanshan that the princess saw in Sanxian Nunnery; the whereabouts of Zhenshaer Khan, and why these people imitated the ring of the Great Khan, and so on.

However, they have not attracted enough attention from us.

This resulted in the other party having ample time to plan.But we only focused on solving the cases, completely ignoring the connection between them and the core conspiracy, which led to today's evil results. "

He let out a long sigh and said: "Blame me, blame me! A moment of negligence, without investigation, fell into the evil tricks of the villain, which led to a catastrophe."

Ruyan said: "How can you blame this? Who would have thought that there would be so many conspiracies in one case? Uncle, what is the connection between the two?"

Di Renjie said: "The disappearance of the silversmith is a preparation for the robbery of the Shanjin Bureau, right?"

Ruyan nodded: "I understand that."

Di Renjie enlightened: "Then who is the robbery of the Shanjin Bureau preparing for?"

Ruyan shook her head. "Of course it is to prepare for the war between the two countries."

Ruyan asked in surprise, "What does this mean?"

Di Renjie said: "Turks are nomadic tribes. They have lived on water and grass for generations. All expenses have to be paid by neighboring small countries or by looting. He Lu wants to start a war with the Celestial Dynasty. From horses and weapons to food, armor and fodder, You have to be well-prepared.”

Ruyan nodded. "However, they don't have a lot of silver in their hands."

Ruyan suddenly realized: "You mean, they used the money they robbed to prepare for the war?"

Di Renjie said: "Isn't it? We all know that the most lacking thing for the Turkic people is iron. When the two countries had good relations, the market was open, and many Turkic businessmen exchanged horses for iron from the Han people."

Ruyan said: "That's right, I've heard of that too."

Di Renjie continued: "Without iron, weapons cannot be made, don't they need to spend money to buy them?
When the army is in battle, the soldiers need to eat, and the horses need to feed. In the past, they could get it by plundering the towns and villages on the border.

However, after the peace between the two countries, Jili Khan strictly restrained his subordinates and could not invade and plunder the border of Dazhou. In this way, they would have no source of food supplies.

If you want to go to war, of course you have to spend money to buy food and grass. "

Ruyan took a deep breath and nodded.

"Because of this, Shar Khan and He Lu were willing to take the risk to attack the Shanjin Bureau and snatch the 110 million taels of gold and silver. Then, think about it, what will happen when they succeed?"

Ruyan replied: "Of course I use the money to buy necessary supplies for the war."

Di Renjie praised: "That's right. If this inference is true, then the address written on the half note taken from the mouth of the fake Shar Khan must be their contact point."

Ruyan raised her eyebrows: "Oh?"

Di Renjie nodded and explained: "I think their plan must be like this. After Shar Khan raided the Shanjin Bureau, he melted the gold and silver into a carriage, and then rushed to Xiaoliuzhuang, 120 miles east of Luoyang City, to meet with his contact person. Secret connection, and then proceed to the next step."

Ruyan slapped her palms together and said, "That's right! It must be so."

"Moreover, I can assert that this matter must be closely related to Nanshan, which has not yet revealed any traces.

Therefore, we must firmly grasp this clue, follow the clues, dig out the traitor, and crack the conspiracy! "

Hearing this, Ruyan let out a long sigh and said, "But uncle, what you're talking about is lively, we're in prison now, we can't even get out, and we're still groping for clues!"

Di Renjie said decisively: "I've already made up my mind, we must leave here immediately!"

Ruyan was surprised and said: "Escape?"

Di Renjie nodded.

Ruyan worried: "But uncle, have you ever thought that once you escape from Luoyang, you will flee in fear of crime. At that time, if the Holy One blames you, you will really be speechless."

Di Renjie said resolutely: "Staying here is not only to sit and wait for death, but also to fall into the trap of the other party.

Now, their plan has been half-successful, they used tricks to plant me, and ordered the emperor to put me under house arrest.

In a few days, the Holy Majesty will definitely put me in the sky prison. At that time, I will completely lose my ability to move, and they can do whatever they want.Think about it, what will they do after getting rid of me..."

Ruyan blurted out: "Let's attack Geely Khan!"

Di Renjie said: "That's right. Just now I thought of the sea beast Xibo gold plate presented to Ji Li Khan as a birthday gift..."

Ruyan was taken aback: "Uncle, what happened to the gold plate?"

Di Renjie frowned, and said worriedly: "Although I still can't figure out what's wrong with this foreign object made of 9000 taels of gold, it was completed by Shar Khan... Intuition tells me that this There must be something wrong in there!"
