Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 671 Di Renjie’s Case (5)

"My lord, His Royal Highness King Han has arrived outside the gate of the mansion."

Investigating the scene of a fire is a lot of physical work. After being busy for most of the morning, Di Renjie is still in good health, but he can't bear it any longer. After a hasty grooming and lunch, he just wanted to take a nap , I saw Liang Hao, the chief aide, coming in a hurry, rushed to the front, and reported in a low voice.

"Oh? Well... good time, let's go, and welcome His Royal Highness King Han together with me."

Hearing that Li Yuanjia had rushed over at this time, Di Renjie was taken aback for a moment, then quickly came to his senses, stroked his long beard on his chest thoughtfully, after a while, he already guessed where he was coming from A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth immediately, but he didn't say much, he just waved his hand and ordered with a hint of excitement.

"My lord, I'm afraid the person who came here is not kind."

Liang Hao was not as quick-witted as Di Renjie, and always felt that Li Yuanjia's visit might not be a good thing. Seeing that Di Renjie didn't seem to care much about it, he couldn't help being a little worried, so he reminded him from the side.

"It's okay, let's meet King Han first."

Di Renjie didn't intend to share the details with Liang Hao, but just laughed and walked towards the gate of the courtyard. Seeing this, Liang Hao opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say more, but at the end But he didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly, and quickly followed behind Di Renjie.

"Your Majesty sees His Royal Highness the King of Han."

Han Wang is the current emperor's uncle, his status is extremely respected, but his nature is simple, at least on the surface. This time, he was dispatched with only one carriage and dozens of guards. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary old man on the street. Di Renjie couldn't help but pause for such a situation in his eyes, but he didn't dare to lose his manners. He rushed down the steps and respectfully saluted Ask Andy.

"Your Majesty Di is too polite, hurry up and excuse me, the old man took the liberty to come here, what a disturbance."

Li Yuanjia smiled very politely, as polite as if old friends met each other, completely lost the majesty that put on airs to Di Renjie's face at the beginning, and before Di Renjie finished the ceremony, he rushed forward and stretched out his hands to hold Di Renjie a handful.

"Don't dare, dare not, Your Highness, please come inside."

Compared with Li Yuanjia's kindness and politeness, Di Renjie was cautious and didn't exchange many greetings, but took a small half step back respectfully, waved his hand, and signaled Li Yuanjia to go first.

"Well, good, good, good, Master Di, let's go together."

Li Yuanjia didn't seem to care about Di Renjie's formality at all, he kept shouting hello with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand, and pulled Di Renjie affectionately, signaling him to enter the mansion together, Di Renjie didn't say much this time It's polite, just smiled faintly, and was half a step behind, accompanied Li Yuanjia into the gate of the mansion, talking and laughing all the way to the second hall, after each took their seats, their own attendants offered freshly brewed fragrant tea, Then they each retreated, only Di Renjie, Li Yuanjia and his son were left in the hall.

"Master Di has worked hard today. I heard from Xiaogou that this on-site investigation has yielded quite a lot. I don't know if that's the case?"

After the servants retreated, Li Yuanjia didn't talk any more nonsense, and went straight to the point.

"It is indeed a little gain."

Di Renjie seemed reluctant to talk about the case, so he simply responded and said nothing.

"Oh, that's good, that's good, I wonder if it's possible to rescue Special Envoy Chun Plow with this clue?"

Li Yuanjia came here with ulterior motives, and it was impossible to give up because of Di Renjie's silence, so he pretended to be relieved, stroked his gray beard on his chest, and asked meaningfully.

"I'm afraid it's difficult. I didn't get much at the scene. To save Mr. Wang, I'm afraid His Royal Highness King Han must lead the overall situation. It's really hard for me to take on this important task. I'm ashamed, ashamed."

Di Renjie could hear the subtext in Li Yuanjia's words, but he didn't intend to accept the move immediately, so he put on a look of embarrassment, shook his head with frowning, and replied with shame on his face.

"Master Di is too modest. This old man is old and can't continue his energy. This important task of leading the overall situation still needs to be taken care of by Lord Di. Don't worry, this old man will order that all officials in Luzhou will be at the mercy of Lord Di. If you can save Mr. Wang from the thief, if it takes longer to delay, the face of the imperial court may not look good. I also hope that Mr. Di will take the overall situation as the most important thing. support!"

Seeing Di Renjie's refusal to agree, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so he lowered his posture very low, as if giving what he asked for.

"This... Your Highness is so loving, I really can't afford to be an official, and I still have a holy order, so I dare not act recklessly."

At the governor's mansion yesterday, Di Renjie had already agreed to this matter, but it was then, and now that he has a handle, Di Renjie is not so easy to talk about, no matter how low Li Yuanjia's posture is, Di Renjie just refused to accept orders.

"Master Di's words are also reasonable. This sacred order cannot be delayed, but Lord Wang has to save it. How about this? The old man will personally take care of the matter in Shexian County, and eventually he will give Lord Di a satisfactory explanation. , As for the matter of rescuing Mr. Wang, why don’t you bother Mr. Laodi a lot?”

Li Yuanjia is currently on the passive side. It is very difficult to get out of this case safely. He can only hope to reach an agreement with Di Renjie. On the road, in desperation, I had no choice but to prepare to lose the car and save my handsome man.

"Your Highness loves you so much, I am ashamed, I am ashamed, it's just that the holy order is limited, but I dare not delay it. If so, I will stay in Shangdang City for three more days. Alright, if it is not possible, the lower officials still have to go to She County to handle the case, Your Highness, do you think this is possible?"

Di Renjie smacked his lower lip, pinched his fingers again, let out a sigh of embarrassment, and cast a tight curse on Li Yuanjia in a hidden way.

"Three days? Alright, let's do it for three days. This old man will rely on Master Di, please take care of him, so I won't bother you. Farewell, farewell."

In such a situation of "man is the knife, I am the fish", Li Yuanjia really has no confidence in bargaining. Even if he is unwilling, he can only bite the bullet and agree to Di Renjie's "blackmail".

"Your Majesty will send you off!"

Now that the agreement was reached, Di Renjie was too lazy to talk nonsense with Li Yuanjia, and when he saw that he was about to leave, he stood up and accompanied Li Yuanjia and his son out of the house politely.

"Master Di stay here, what you said earlier will bother Mr. Di a lot, take your leave, take your leave."

Outside the gate of the mansion, Li Yuanjia bowed his hands to Di Renjie very politely, and confessed a scene with a smile on his face. Then, under the service of the servants, he got into the carriage, and when the curtain of the carriage was lowered, the smile on his face instantly Then he disappeared without a trace, his face was as gloomy as ice, and as soon as this happened, Li Chen, who followed him into the carriage, couldn't help shivering, his heart skipped a beat. It almost popped out of my throat.

"Father, father, you, why, why..."

Although Li Chen was quite frightened, he couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart. He really couldn't understand why his old father was so accommodating to Di Renjie, so he boldly opened his mouth tentatively. mouth, but his throat was extremely dry, and he couldn't finish his sentence after stuttering for a long time.

"Hmph, if it weren't for you, an idiot, how could you fall into such a situation as a father, such a waste!"

It was fine if Li Chen didn't open his mouth, but when he opened his mouth, Li Yuanjia vented all his anger on him, mercilessly cursing, until Li Chen blushed.

"Father, calm down, father, calm down, the child thinks that there is still a lot to do, and there is really no need to compromise with him to such an extent."

Perhaps because of being scolded anxiously, Li Chen let go instead, and said with a stiff neck.

"Is there anything else that can be done? Okay, very good, let me tell you what is the right way to do it?"

Li Yuanjia laughed out of anger at being hit by Li Chen like this, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth in a fit of anger.

"Father, Di Renjie just has a few broken crossbows in his hands. Even if he says he's going to break the sky, he may not be able to do anything to Luzhou. At most, he will say that he lost it in the army. At most, it's just a punishment. What's more, the boy admits the responsibility and let it go."

Li Chen still couldn't see the crux of the matter up to now, and he stated self-righteously, but he didn't notice that Li Yuanjia's face was so ugly that it was hideous.

"Hey, your brain looks like a pig's brain. If the matter is so simple, why do you have to compromise as a father? Think about who Wang Fangming is in now! If this person returns to the capital, plus Di Renjie's on-site inspection Gongwen, I, Luzhou, have used some things to avoid disasters, can your brain do the trick?"

Li Yuanjia was so angry that he couldn't get any more angry, reached out his hand and nodded Li Chen's head, sighed, and solved the mystery helplessly.

"Ah, this, this..."

When Li Yuanjia said this, Li Chen knew it very well - the testimony of Wang Fangming alone is not enough, and the investigation documents of Di Renjie alone are not terrible. , it is not likely that they will suffer, especially when Empress Wu is in power, but when the two are combined, it is ironclad evidence, and it is more than enough to wipe out Li Yuanjia and his son.

"Quite panic, listen up, the other courtyard has been closely watched these few days, once they get in touch with the gang of thieves, you should know what to do, huh?"

Li Yuanjia was not a person who gave up easily. Seeing that Li Chen finally knew how to be afraid, he stopped explaining and gave orders in a cold voice.

"Ah, yes, the child knows."

Although Li Yuanjia's voice was not loud, the murderous intent contained in it was very strong. Li Chen was startled, and he didn't dare to neglect it, and hurriedly agreed to the promise.

"Ah."

What should be said has already been said, Li Yuanjia didn't want to talk any more nonsense, closed his eyes, and fell asleep, but the blue veins on his forehead were bouncing, obviously his heart was not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface.
