Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 859
Ruyan shook her head: "I can't say it, I feel that your expression is in a trance, your mind is absent, and your behavior is even more strange. For example, tonight, you went out for a few hours before you came back. When I asked you, you hesitated and refused to speak..."

Zhong forced a smile and said: "Okay, Ruyan, don't ask any more questions, it's really nothing. Really..."

As she said that, she walked quickly to the side of the couch and tidied up the mattress with nothing to do.

Ruyan looked at her back, a trace of suspicion floated on her face.

……

A lonely lamp flickers in the sleeping hall.Princess Nalu sat motionless at the table, her eyes were staring straight up, with tears on her cheeks.

With a "squeak", the door of the palace opened, and Di Renjie, Wang Mang, Zhong Jie, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai walked in.

Zhongjie's face sank like water, and he walked up to Nalu and said, "Nalu, you conspired to kill His Majesty the former king and the two princes, and now the facts are all there. I advise you to tell the truth and give a detailed account of the whole process of committing the crime!"

Na Lu looked at him, and slowly closed her eyes.

Zhongjie said angrily, "You..."

Di Renjie waved his hand lightly, Zhong Jie suppressed his anger and stood aside.

Di Renjie said: "His Royal Highness."

Nalu opened her eyes, smiled and said, "Your Highness, didn't you hear what the ruling lord said just now? I am now a king-killing traitor who can be killed by everyone!"

Di Renjie persuaded: "Since Your Highness knows the benefits, you should understand that there is no point in concealing anything now. Please ask Your Highness to give a detailed confession about the murder process and motives of the three brothers and sisters who killed the former king."

Nalu looked at him for a long time, and even smiled.

Zhongjie on the side shouted angrily: "What are you laughing at?"

Nalu said: "Since you have already determined that I am the murderer, there is no need to ask for details. It is up to you whether to kill or cut!"

Zhongjie was so angry that his face turned pale: "You bitch, you are so stubborn when you are about to die. It is not easy for you to die. As long as I give an order, I will hang you in front of the palace gate tomorrow morning!"

Na Lu showed no signs of fear, she smiled and said, "Then what are you waiting for, please go ahead!"

Zhong Jie shouted angrily: "Come on!"

The door of the hall opened, and two guards rushed in.

Zhong Jie yelled, "Drag this bitch outside and beat me hard!"

The guards agreed loudly and rushed forward.

Di Renjie hurriedly stopped him: "Wait a minute!"

The guards stopped.

Di Renjie said to Zhongjie, "My lord, calm down for now."

Zhong Jie suppressed his anger and waved at the guards, and the two guards withdrew from the door.

Di Renjie turned to Nalu and said, "Your Royal Highness, I saw you kill Prince Qiongta with my own eyes. Even now, you still strongly deny it. Is there any point?"

Na Lu smiled and said, "If you kill a mouse, others will say that you killed all the mice in the world. Do you think it makes sense?"

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other without speaking.

Di Renjie also smiled and said, "I understand what you mean, but the problem is that the method of killing the three brothers and sisters of the king is very similar to the scene. It is obvious that the same murderer planned and executed it. How do you explain this?"

Na Lu was stunned for a long time, then she shook her head and said, "I can't explain it."

Zhong Jie sneered and said, "Of course you can't explain it, because you are the murderer!"

Nalu stopped talking.

Di Renjie took out a handkerchief from his pocket and opened it, revealing the black powder inside, and placed it in front of Nalu.Nalu asked, "What is this?"

Di Renjie asked back: "Don't you know?"

Nalu said: "Of course."

Zhong Jie let out a disdainful "hum".

Di Renjie said: "This black powder appeared at the same time at the death scene of Chachi, Weiit and Qiongta. Can you tell me what it is used for?"

Nalu looked at Di Renjie, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Will you believe what I say?"

Di Renjie nodded and encouraged, "As long as it's the truth."

Na Lu smiled and said, "I don't know, and I've never seen such a thing before."

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other, a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes.

Di Renjie wanted to ask again, but Wang Mang shook his head slightly.

Zhongjie sneered contemptuously: "Yes, you don't know anything, it wasn't you who just killed Prince Qiongta in the stable?"

Na Lu suddenly raised her head and looked directly at Zhong Jie.

Zhongjie said coldly, "What are you looking at me for?"

In Nalu's eyes, there was a look of doubt amidst disgust and sullenness.

Wang Mang, Di Renjie and Zhong Jie looked at each other strangely and said, "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

Nalu took a deep breath, slowly shook her head and said, "No, it's nothing..."

Di Renjie wrapped up the handkerchief and put it in his sleeve: "How did you kill Prince Qiongta, Your Royal Highness can always tell me!"

Nalu smiled and closed her eyes again.

Di Renjie and Zhong Jie looked at each other, "Since Her Royal Highness doesn't want to say anything, let me say a few words! I know that you are not the only one who planned and executed such a careful and delicate plan. I also know that this time It must have something to do with the Turkic special envoy Yaqa..."

As soon as this remark came out, Na Lu was taken aback and raised her head. Immediately, she felt that her performance was inappropriate, and quickly covered it up: "Oh, interesting, I don't understand."

Di Renjie smiled and said: "Whether you really don't understand it or pretend you don't understand it, I can tell you that the Turkic special envoy Yaqa who appeared in Yueshi Palace is not Yaqa, his real name is Shar Khan!"

Na Lu gasped, and blurted out, "What, what did you say?"

As soon as this remark came out, she immediately felt something was wrong, and subconsciously covered her mouth.

Di Renjie, Wang Mang, and Li Yuanfang looked at each other and said, "Yes. Shar Khan and Yaqa are twin brothers. The real Yaqa died in Luoyang a few months ago, and died right in front of me!"

While talking, Wang Mang and Di Renjie fixed their eyes on Nalu's expression.

Nalu bit her lips tightly, her hands trembling slightly.

There was a sneer on Di Renjie's face, and he continued, "The person lurking in the Yueshi Palace is my traitor of the Great Zhou——Shar Khan, the former general of the Minister of Internal Affairs. the goal of!"

Nalu's lips trembled, her body kept shaking, she forced herself to be shocked and said: "But, this, what does this have to do with me..."

Di Renjie said: "If it really has nothing to do with His Highness, just listen to a story. But if His Highness thinks of something and wants to talk to someone... I am always here."

Nalu took a deep breath.

Di Renjie said to Zhongjie, "Brother Zhongjie, let's go!"

Zhong nodded, and Di Renjie and Wang Mang walked out the door quickly.

Nalu trembled all over, and said softly, "Sharhan, who is Sharhan... Yaqa, what's going on..."

……

It was already late at night, and the surroundings of the post house were quiet, with the cold wind blowing the fallen leaves and dancing in the sky.

Two handkerchiefs were spread out on the table, one with white powder and the other with black powder.

Di Renjie sat at the table, looked at the two powders in front of him, and thought quietly. After a long time, he let out a long breath, stood up and walked slowly. Suddenly, he stopped, walked to the door, stretched out his hand He opened the door.

Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang, Zeng Tai, and Ruyan stood in front of the door with wide smiles.

Di Renjie was taken aback: "You..."

Li Yuanfang smiled and said, "Isn't your lord just about to call us?"

Di Renjie laughed out loud, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang also laughed.

Di Renjie patted Li Yuanfang's shoulder and said, "You know me too! Well, let's try it first."

Ruyan said: "Uncle, tell me, how do you try?"
