Detective Di Renjie: The Mysterious Dynasty

Chapter 365 Judgment Day (Part )
Inside the room, after listening to what Zhao Ji said about the boat capsizing in the Han Canal, Di Renjie suddenly stood up in shock.

"Is there such a thing?"

Zhao Ji sighed heavily and added, "Before I left Beijing, another urgent report came from Yangzhou, saying that the grain transport households had caused trouble again. The situation is getting worse and worse and is becoming more and more difficult to deal with."

Di Renjie looked solemn and took a deep breath. "The grain transport was disrupted due to the overturned grain transport, which caused the treasury to be empty. There was also civil unrest. If we can't deal with it as soon as possible, if the northwest border situation becomes urgent again, multiple diseases will occur simultaneously, and the national affairs will be in danger of corruption!"

Zhao Ji nodded heavily: "Yes, that's why I left the capital in person to ask you to resume your post. In this chaotic situation, only you can handle this matter properly!"

However, Di Renjie frowned and said worriedly: "But we can't just ignore the affairs of Jiangzhou! The people of Wuping have been tortured by Xue Qinglin for too long!"

Zhao Ji seemed confident: "This is easy. We will deal with Pingnan Hou as soon as possible, and then take the official ship to Yangzhou directly. It won't take much time!"

"Besides, I have already made some arrangements in Yangzhou, but they will take time to take effect. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood!"

After Di Renjie pondered for a moment, he finally nodded: "It has to be this way! We can't delay any longer. I will order Lin Yongzhong to summon Xue Qinglin to the county government office and, in the name of the imperial envoy, make him spit out what he has taken from the people!"

Zhao Ji had no objection to this, and then the two of them dispersed and prepared to take action.

At the same time, Di Renjie went to look for Lin Yongzhong, while Wen Kai seized the opportunity, took the initiative to step into the room and found Zhao Ji.

When Zhao saw Wen Kai, he thought he was here to reminisce about the past, so he immediately went to greet him warmly: "Wen Kai, this time Jiangzhou matter is all thanks to you! The king will definitely reward you handsomely!"

However, unexpectedly, when Wen Kai saw Zhao Ji, he showed a sad look on his face, knelt on his knees, and begged: "My lord, Wen Kai has made a big mistake and will be killed. Please have mercy and save Wen Kai!"

Zhao Ji was stunned when he saw this scene. He helped Wen Kai up and said, "Why do you have to do this? Get up quickly and talk slowly!"

Wen Kai stood up and sighed, "Your Highness, you know about the letter. I was too ambitious and reported to Your Majesty in advance that I had found the secret letter. As a result, my subordinates made mistakes and the secret letter is now missing!"

As soon as Zhao Ji heard Wen Kai's description, he knew what the situation was.

He knew very well that he also had some responsibility in this matter, and it would be difficult for him to burn his bridges and stay out of it.

So, he said gently, "Don't worry, as long as Xue Qinglin is still here, you won't have to worry about not finding the secret letter. I will never stand idly by!"

Wen Kai felt relieved when he heard this, but he was worried again: "But Di Gong hates evil and hates evil. With his character, he will definitely not let Xue Qinglin go..."

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Just spare Xue Qinglin's life for now. I'll just mention it to Di Gong!"

Wen Kai was completely relieved and knelt on the ground again, crying with gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life!"

"Even so, time is very tight. How are you going to find the secret letter?" Zhao Ji remembered what Wen Kai did in the original world line and couldn't help asking.

Wen Kai hesitated slightly, looked up at Zhao Ji, and told him the whole plan.

In Di Renjie's bedroom, Di Renjie was already dressed neatly, looking majestic and solemn in his third-grade silver-green robe.

Di Chun took two steps back and looked at Di Renjie carefully, his eyes moistened: "Finally I see you wearing this third-grade silver-green robe again!"

Di Renjie smiled and patted his shoulder gently: "It's the same in the common people and the government. It doesn't matter what kind of clothes you wear, what matters is the heart of the official!"

Di Chun smiled with tears in his eyes and nodded.

At the same time, Li Yuanfang, the Inspector General of the Thousand Bull Guards, was ready to go and stood in the middle of the room with a heroic look.

Ruyan looked at him with infinite love in her eyes: "This is what Li Yuanfang looks like!"

Li Yuanfang smiled and said, "Don't I look like a commoner if I wear his clothes?"

Ruyan walked slowly to him and whispered, "Whether you are a commoner or a majestic general, in my eyes, you will always be Li Guaiguai!" Li Yuanfang burst out laughing: "Li Guaiguai?"

Ruyan smiled as if offering a treasure: "This is the name I gave you. How about it, doesn't it sound nice?"

Li Yuanfang was amused by her: "How could you come up with the idea of ​​calling a murderer like me Li Guaiguai?"

Ruyan pretended to be angry and punched him lightly: "Say something nice!"

Li Yuanfang smiled warmly and responded lovingly: "Okay, okay, that sounds good, that's ok."

Ruyan laughed again and continued to admire the heroic figure of her lover.

No one noticed that because of Zhao Ji's sudden arrival, the Di residence became overly active.

Since Ruyan was accompanying Li Yuanfang, no one paid attention to Jinniang for a while. After all, she had only been there for a few days and had not yet truly integrated into the Di Mansion.

The clever woman, sensing this opportunity, slipped out the back door without hesitation.

Before the imperial guards arrived, Zhao ordered Wen Kai to bring out the troops from the governor's office and the inner guards to make up the numbers and intimidate the treacherous officials.

Wen Kai gathered all the state officials and the county magistrate Lin Yongzhong in Wuping, and they lined up neatly on both sides of the court.

The number of people was relatively small and a little shabby. After all, most of the senior officials in Jiangzhou, from Sima to Canjun, had been killed, and the Chief Clerk Feng Wanchun did not dare to show up.

Zhao Ji and Di Renjie sat in the main seat together, and the officials in the hall saluted them.

At this moment, a loud announcement came from outside the hall: "Pingnan Hou Xue Qinglin has arrived!"

Xue Qinglin walked quickly into the courtroom, lifted his robe, raised his head, and was about to speak when he saw two people sitting in the upper seats, one was a young man he didn't know, and the other was the fat old man who had always been against him.

He was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment, and pointed at Di Renjie with trembling fingers: "You..."

Di Renjie smiled slightly, with a hint of joking in his tone: "Why, Lord Xue, don't you recognize me? We met yesterday."

Xue Qinglin shuddered all over, cold sweat immediately seeping from his forehead. He quickly knelt down on his knees and kowtowed: "Xue Qinglin didn't know that the imperial envoy was visiting Wuping, and I was late in welcoming you. I beg for your forgiveness, forgiveness!"

Zhao Ji's face was as cold as frost. He sneered, "Lord Xue is so arrogant that he made me, Lord Di, and the officials of Jiangzhou wait for you in the court for half an hour!"

"I've always heard that the Marquis of Pingnan is arrogant and domineering, causing trouble for the local area, causing the people of Wuping to complain and live in misery. Today, I saw that it was true!"

Lin Yongzhong stepped out of the class and bowed, saying, "Your Highness is very perceptive and insightful. The people of Wuping have been suffering from the persecution of the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion for a long time. I ask Your Highness to stand up for the people of Wuping and get rid of this evil villain!"

Xue Qinglin's face turned pale, and he answered with a stiff face: "Your Excellency, there are indeed some lawless people in the Marquis' Mansion, who are doing evil under the banner of the Marquis of Pingnan Mansion."

"But this has nothing to do with me! Besides... Besides, to say that the people of Wuping are living in misery because of this is probably an exaggeration."

Di Renjie sneered, "What a shameless fellow! You indulged your evil slaves, beat people to death in front of the government office, and then beat the county magistrate in the street."

"Later, you led your servants to break down the gate of the county government office and besiege the government office. I saw it all with my own eyes. Do you dare to say that it was an exaggeration and had nothing to do with you?"

With a loud bang, all the officials in Jiangzhou were in an uproar.

"This is blatant rebellion!" "Lin County Magistrate, why didn't you report it to the governor!" "My Lord Imperial Envoy, the Marquis of Pingnan's Mansion has such a long history of bad deeds. Please submit a memorial to the capital and seek justice for Jiangzhou!"

The officials started talking and then shouted, and then yelled, the crowd was extremely angry.
