Di Renjie breathed a sigh of relief on the rooftop. Fortunately, he was able to escape the disaster because of his uprightness and wit.

The five people who broke in just now all had shining swords in their hands, which showed that they were murderers.

They wanted to take the lives of the three people.

Di Renjie became more and more angry. When had he ever been treated like this?

How dare some nobles openly murder officials appointed by the court? Who gave them the courage?

Is there still the king's law? Is there still law?

Song Zhen patted Di Renjie on the shoulder, signaling him not to act rashly.

It was not until the five people completely left the inn that the three of them slowly climbed to the ridge of the roof (the protruding beam on the roof.)

"What should we do next?" Song Zhen looked at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie thought for a while: "The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. It's a bit tricky."

The most critical problem at present is that there are only three of them. Uncle Guang can be ignored. In addition to his brute force, he has no martial arts foundation.

Even if they fought, they were not in an advantageous position.

How do you beat up hundreds of clerks in a government office? Hit them with their heads?

"I think we shouldn't just sit there and wait for death. We must take the initiative to attack."

"How to attack?"

Song Zhen's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he clenched his fists tightly.

The three sneaked into a private house under the cover of night.

It seemed that no one lived here.

They rested temporarily in the private house for a night.

They didn't sleep for long when they were awakened by a loud noise.

"It's a fire! Come and put out the fire."

Di Renjie opened the wooden window and saw that the inn where they had just lived was suddenly ablaze.

His pupils shrank. He didn't expect the Wen and Yu families to be so cruel?

In order to hunt down the two of them, they actually burned down the entire inn?

You know, that inn is at least a large one, which can accommodate more than a hundred guests.

When Di Renjie went to book a room, he was told that there was only one room left on the roof.

Due to the three-year drought in Yongzhou, the weather was extremely hot.

Living on the roof was undoubtedly like lying in a steamer, and most guests would not choose a room on the roof.

From the side, it can be seen that the inn was full.

And the Wen and Yu families, in order to kill the wrong person rather than let him go, actually chose to burn down the inn!

What should they do with the innocent people living in the inn?

Thinking of this, Di Renjie's eyes were gloomy.

This case was very different from the previous cases.

There was no reasoning process, and they guessed who the murderer was early in the morning.

What they had to do was to find clues of the murderer's crime.

Also, they had to be on guard against the murderer's hidden arrows at all times.

Song Zhen stood up, and his strong upper body glowed slightly under the moonlight.

There was no way, it was too hot.

Di Renjie turned around and looked at Song Zhen's figure, his eyes were full of envy.

When will I have such a good figure?

He looked down at one of his abdominal muscles, and there was even a mark when he sat down.

Di Renjie patted his belly helplessly and smiled bitterly.

......

The next day, Song Zhen put on a linen shirt, wiped his face with mud, and disguised himself as a commoner.

He was alone in Lingling County, looking for the addresses of Wen and Yu.

And Di Renjie returned to the inn.

After a night of burning, the inn was destroyed, leaving only devastation.

"It's too tragic. I heard that more than 80 people were burned to death last night."

"What? More than 80 people? Is this a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?"

"Who knows?"

Di Renjie covered his hat, lowered his head, and his eyes were red.

The more than 80 innocent people suffered an unprovoked disaster just because of their arrival.

"Wen! Yu!"

Soon, the Yongzhou government office announced that the fire was caused by the improper operation of the newly hired "doctor" of the inn, who knocked over the oil lamp and ignited the open fire.

[Cold knowledge: Doctor refers to the waiter who smashed things in the store during the Tang and Song dynasties, and was called waiter after the Ming Dynasty. ]

As for the more than 80 people who died, I can only say that you deserve it.

Who told you to sleep so soundly in the middle of the night? You didn't even know to run away when the fire caught fire.

But Di Renjie suspected that it was not that they didn't want to run, but that they couldn't run at all!

Since the Wen and Yu families chose to set fire to the house, it was determined that Di Renjie and Song Zhen were in the inn.

They were too lazy to search room by room, so they just burned it down.

As for the people living inside? Ha, if they died, it's none of my business.

So ruthless, so indifferent.

This is not just reckless, but becoming the local emperor of Yongzhou, covering the sky with one hand!

Even the Yongzhou government office was pretended by their people.What else can't the Wen and Yu families do?

The inner principles that Di Renjie has always adhered to were gradually shaken. He suddenly felt that maybe what Shouzheng said was indeed right.

When dealing with such evildoers, we should fight back with tooth and tooth, fight evil with evil, and those who kill people should be killed!

His brows were furrowed. It was obvious that he was struggling with his conscience.

......

Song Zhen dressed up and went out, only to find the mansion of the Wen family in Lingling County, located in the southeast of the county.

It was very large, occupying almost one-third of the land in the entire county.

Its power was huge, and it was conceivable.

He leaned against the door of the house, holding a string of candied haws in one hand, eating leisurely, pretending to be looking at the scenery, but actually observing the movements of the Wen family.

After three days of squatting, he found that at Chenzhong (8 o'clock in the morning), a group of young people from the Wen family would go out on horseback.

They rode very arrogantly, never considering that they were in a busy city, and they were very fast.

Song Zhen had already discussed with Di Renjie last night, and first sent out the local news and looked for foreign aid.

Fighting alone was too risky.

He sneaked all the way back to the tomb where Wen Youliang had brought them.

He knocked out several people guarding nearby, then drew his sword and thrust it in with force!

"!!!" Song Zhen pulled out his sword, and all he brought was some dirt.

"There's nothing inside?"

His sword was not the kind that ordinary people used. The swords sold on the market were only 60cm long, but the one he wore was a military sword, more than one meter long!

Song Zhen had buried his entire hand in it just now, but found that there was nothing inside.

In other words, this was not the tomb of the governor at all!

This was fake!

Except for the crime scene, everything else was fake!

No wonder Wen Youliang strictly refused to dig his own grave at that time, it turned out to be this reason.

Song Zhen wiped the dirt off the blade and put the knife back into the scabbard. Seeing the scorching sun, he quickly got up and prepared to return.

Because Huaiying was still in Lingling County.
