Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 854
The night was getting dark, but Nalu's bedroom was still lit with candles, and Nalu kept wandering, looking anxious.

She stopped from time to time, listening to the movement outside.

With a bang, the palace door opened, and a maid rushed in.

Na Lu stepped forward and said, "How is it? Any news?"

The maid nodded and handed over the note in her hand.

Nalu snatched it from her hand, and hastily unfolded it to read it. She let out a long breath, stuck the note to her chest, and smiled.

After a long time, she picked up the note and put it between her lips and kissed it, and then picked up the candlestick by the table and reluctantly put the note on it. In an instant, the note was reduced to ashes.

Nalu took a deep breath, and whispered to the maid, "Order the guards to prepare the horses and go to Zhongtu Temple."

The maid nodded, turned and ran out the door.

Nalu took a black cloak from the hanger and put it on.

The so-called Zhongtu Temple is located in Mount Tanluo in the east of Yuezhi City. It is a three-story high altar. On the altar stands a bronze Buddha with a height of tens of meters. of.

Surrounded by bare mountains, only this high altar stands alone in the open space, which looks extremely strange in the night.

In the still night, there was the sound of rapid horseshoes, and a black horse rushed to the altar in a blink of an eye. Immediately, the passenger turned over and jumped off, took off the hood he was wearing, and it was just him.

He looked around, walked up the stairs, and walked quickly into the temple.

Behind a boulder not far away, Princess Nalu slowly showed her head, with a chill in her eyes.

……

Ruyan and Zhong Shi walked towards Di Renjie's room while chatting and laughing.

Zhong said: "When they returned to the post house, why didn't I hear anything?"

Ruyan said: "I ran into Li Yuanfang in the kitchen. He said that a murder occurred in the Yueshi palace. The king's servant died in a strange way, and my uncle is investigating."

Zhong said with a smile: "Your uncle is really clever. He even went abroad to solve the case."

Ruyan also smiled: "He, as long as he encounters a difficult case, he will never let it go, just like a glutton who smells delicious food."

Zhong said leisurely: "Ruyan, to be honest, he is the smartest, most persistent, and most attractive man I have ever met.

I always dream that one day I can stay by his side, even if I can help him a little bit, I will be satisfied. "

Ruyan put her arms around Zhong's shoulders and said with a smile: "You have a really thick skin, you are obviously trying to take advantage of me and become my little aunt!"

Zhong's face turned red, she pushed Ruyan away, turned her face away and said: "I'm telling you to be serious, but you are so naughty all the time, I don't care about you! From now on, Li Yuanfang's affairs Don't tell me either."

Ruyan smiled and said, "Oh, oh, I'm so angry from embarrassment! It's okay, I'm kidding you!"

Only then did Zhong turn around.

Ruyan nodded and said, "You're right, being able to live with my uncle for a lifetime is the happiest thing for any woman."

Zhong let out a long breath, nodded and sighed: "I'm a miserable person, from a humble background, and finally married a husband, and I'm like that again... Alas, I'm afraid I don't have such a blessing."

Ruyan said: "That's not necessarily true, I think uncle treats you very well!"

Zhong raised her head and said, "Really?!"

Ruyan said: "Of course it's true, don't you see that he cares about you?"

Zhong smiled shyly, grabbed Ruyan's arm and said, "You have to help me."

Ruyan turned her head up and said, "Please."

Zhong snorted lightly: "When I become your aunt, see if you still dare to treat me like this?"

Ruyan hummed, and suddenly, she and Zhong looked at each other, and they laughed.

At this time, Zhongjie walked into the door, and suddenly, he saw Ruyan's eyes lit up: "Little sister, you came with Di Gong, right?"

Ruyan asked strangely, "How do you know?"

Zhong Jie said: "I am Di Gong's friend, the ruler of Yuezhi Kingdom Zhong Jie. Which room does Di Gong live in?"

Ruyan also recognized it at this time, and said with a smile: "Oh, yes, yes, I have seen you."

Zhongjie was taken aback: "Oh?"

Ruyan said: "Alright, come with me!"

As he spoke, he led Zhongjie to Di Renjie's room.

Soon, Ruyan led Zhongjie to Di Renjie's room.

At this moment, Ruyan glanced at Zhong Shi who was at the side, and found that Zhong Shi was in a daze, her lips trembling a little.

Ruyan asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhong's almond eyes widened, and he concluded: "This person, this person..."

Ruyan asked, "You know him?"

Zhong Shi shook his head.

Ruyan complained, "Then what's wrong with you?"

Before Zhong came back to her senses, she said in a daze, "How could his voice be so familiar... like, like..."

Ruyan said, "Like what?"

Zhong shook his head and muttered, "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Ruyan complained, "What are you talking about?"

Zhong raised her head and forced a smile: "I'm not feeling well, let's go back to my room and have a rest."

Ruyan said inexplicably, "Aren't you going to see my uncle?"

Zhong only said: "He, he has guests, I will go later."

As she spoke, she hurried back.

Ruyan shook her head and said, "Strange."

He went straight to Di Renjie's room.

……

Di Renjie's room.

Wang Mang, Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai were talking about something.

At this time, Zhongjie walked in: "Donggong, did you find anything?"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "We were talking about the case just now, but I didn't expect Zhong Jie to come."

Zhongjie said with a smile: "Isn't this concerned about the case, so let's take a look."

Di Renjie said: "It's just in time for you to come and help us as a staff officer."

Zhong Jie waved his hand: "How can I decide the case!"

Wang Mang said with a smile: "Just listen to it casually. As the saying goes, one person counts his weaknesses, and everyone counts his strengths. Don't refuse, Mr. Zhong Jie."

Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang and others also persuaded him.

Zhong Zhong nodded: "Forget it, I'll just listen."

Di Renjie said: "Jing Yang, you just said that the king had his fingers and toes cut off."

Wang Mang nodded: "Yes, the murderer is obviously trying to demonstrate to us, so what is it trying to explain?"

"Fingers and toes?"

"Fingers and toes?"

Di Renjie muttered to himself.

Suddenly, Wang Mang's eyes lit up: "Siblings!"

"That's right, it's siblings."

Di Renjie nodded: "Whether it is in Chinese or Yuezhi, siblings represent brothers, don't they?"

Wang Mang said: "No, the murderer wants to attack it."

Zhong Jie was confused when he heard this: "Gong Di, what are you talking about?"

Di Renjie said: "It's too late to explain, let's go to the mansion that commissioned it."

"it is good!"

Soon, everyone came to Wei Ta's house, and only then did they know that Wei Ta had gone out.

Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly inquired, and finally found Wei it in the Zhongtu Temple, but Wei it was already dead at this time.

What's more, he was trapped inside the bell and was shocked to death.

Di Renjie took a deep breath: "What a vicious method!"

Wang Mang said: "The murderer must have a grudge against him, otherwise he wouldn't have resorted to such vicious methods."

Di Renjie nodded: "Okay, go and look around. Are there any clues around?"

Suddenly, Wang Mang squatted down, and he found some black dust around the big clock.

"My lord, look!"

Di Renjie squatted down: "This, this is that kind of powder."

Wang Mang nodded: "That's right, it's that kind of powder. It seems that the murderer who killed the king and the murderer who killed it are the same person."

Suddenly, Di Renjie looked at the giant clock in front of him and said, "Zhongjie, what does your name mean?"

Zhongjie said, "It's what the bell means."

"what?"

Zeng Tai was shocked.

"Could it be that the next revelation the murderer gave us was to kill Zhong Jie?"

Wang Mang was thoughtful.

Di Renjie nodded: "Yes, there is such a possibility."

Li Yuanfang said angrily: "Master Zhongjie, I will protect you from today, I want to see how the murderer kills you."

Zhong Jie waved his hand: "That's not necessary, I have an army under my command, and I dare not measure them."

Di Renjie said: "Brother Zhongjie, both Weita and Chabu have troops, but they still died at the hands of the murderer. In my opinion, let Yuanfang protect you."

Zhong Zhong nodded: "Okay, I want to see how they kill me?"

Di Renjie said: "Okay, let's see if there are any clues."

Everyone nodded and searched.

Suddenly, Li Yuanfang came over: "My lord, look."

Wang Mang and Di Renjie took a closer look, and found that Li Yuanfang had a horse's mane in his hand.

Wang Mang frowned: "Is this horse mane?"

Li Yuanfang nodded: "Exactly!"

Di Renjie murmured: "What does this mean?"

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and they shook their heads helplessly.

At this time, Zeng Tai came over, holding a sachet in his hand.

Zhong Jie took a look, his face changed: "This is the sachet of the princess."

"what?"

Everyone was taken aback.

"Is the princess the murderer?"

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other.
