Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 143 Identity Exposed
At this time, Wang Mang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the deceased is dead. From my point of view, if you want to cure your disease, you must treat it both internally and externally!"

"Oh?"

Wu Zetian stopped in his tracks: "Do you have a solution?"

Wang Mang nodded: "Inwardly, His Majesty needs to take good care of his body, and this minister naturally has a solution. Externally, His Majesty needs to do a ritual to save those dead souls."

Suddenly, Wu Zetian raised his head and stared straight at Wang Mang: "Are you a descendant of the Wang family?"

Although it is a questioning tone, there is affirmation in the words.

Wang Mang's complexion changed drastically, and Di Renjie's complexion also changed slightly.

Wu Zetian chuckled: "You don't have to be afraid. I already knew about it when you helped Huaiying solve the case in Youzhou. Do you know why I haven't arrested you all these years?"

Wang Mang was very shocked at this moment, he shook his head.

Wu Zetian didn't answer, but asked strangely: "Wang Jingyang, do you really not hate me?"

Seeing that his identity was exposed, Wang Mang also gave it up at this time, and at worst he would be reincarnated.

He slowly regained his composure: "Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

"Oh?"

Wu Zetian raised his head: "What about the truth, and what about the lies?"

Wang Mang said: "The truth is naturally to hate His Majesty, but His Majesty has passed the age of seventy years, and the minister has not yet reached the weak crown. The minister's life in exchange."

Wu Zetian said indifferently: "What about lies?"

Wang Mang said: "The lie is that today's Wu Dynasty seems to be peaceful. In fact, the undercurrent has already been surging. Inside, the Liang Wang and the crown prince are constantly fighting. Outside, the Turks are staring at each other. When Your Majesty is here, these will naturally not be a problem. , but once His Majesty comes to heaven, the world will be in chaos."

Wu Zetian laughed: "I'm afraid this is why you came to the palace to treat me?"

Wang Mang sighed: "I have also been to the border. Even in normal times, the life of the people there is not easy, but at least they can survive. But once the war breaks out, the hundreds of thousands of people will suffer. I really don't care." I would like to see that kind of scene. I really can’t do something that puts hundreds of thousands of people’s lives at risk for my own selfishness.”

Wu Zetian nodded: "I understand, what you care about is the people of the world."

Wang Mang said: "Mencius said: If you are poor, you will be good for yourself; if you are rich, you will be good for the world. If you have no ability, then you will naturally be good for yourself. If you have the ability but do not do it, I am afraid that you will be condemned in your heart for the rest of your life."

Wu Zetian said: "You are still the first person who dares to say such a thing in front of me."

Wang Mang said: "At this time, I should only treat it as a conversation between friends. If Your Majesty wants to punish me for my crime, then I will admit it."

Wu Zetian asked: "I pardon you for your innocence. I don't know how you want to cure my illness?"

Wang Mang said: "First of all, I have a medicinal diet that can take care of your majesty's body. Secondly, I found that Di Chun, the chief steward of the Di mansion, is a body of nine yangs, which can relieve the yin energy in this hall, so I beg your majesty to let Di Chun enter the palace." Palace, firstly, he has a good knowledge of the minister’s medicinal diet, secondly, it can alleviate the Yin Qi in the palace, and finally, His Majesty needs someone to do a ritual ceremony! After all, the minister is a doctor, not a Taoist priest!”

Wu Zetian frowned: "That is to say, you are not [-]% sure to save me?"

Wang Mang bowed and said: "Facts are not absolute, if I say I am absolutely sure, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Wu Zetian snorted lightly: "You are honest!"

She turned her head: "Huaiying, if one day I die, what will you say about me?"

Di Renjie was startled, not knowing how to answer.

Wu Zetian said: "But it doesn't matter."

Di Renjie pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth: "Mixed merits and demerits."

Wu Zetian nodded: "I'm afraid that in the entire court, you are the only one who dares to say that."

Di Renjie said: "Just like what Jing Yang has, there is no monarch and ministers sitting with each other at this moment, and the ministers can only regard it as a conversation between friends."

Wu Zetian nodded: "Do you two know, how would I evaluate myself?"

Di Renjie and Wang Mang shook their heads.

Wu Zetian looked into the distance and said calmly: "If I erect a monument for myself, then I will erect a monument without words."

Di Renjie and Wang Mang were dumbfounded.

Wu Zetian slowly recovered his majesty, and said slowly, "I'm going to do a great ritual to save these dead souls."

……

The sky was cloudy, the sky was gloomy, and the earth was shrouded in darkness.

In the wheat field next to the official road, a stone tablet stood quietly beside it, and the stone tablet was splattered with blood.

The body of the young man in yellow was lying on the side of the field, his head and left arm had been chopped off.

A pair of feet slowly stopped beside the corpse, and a middle-aged man in a light crimson official uniform slowly squatted down.

This person is none other than Zeng Tai, the former county magistrate of Huzhou!
He carefully inspected the wound of the deceased, and the county lieutenant beside him handed over something: "My lord, this is the identity document found on the deceased."

Zeng Tai reached out to take it, only to see that the outer skin of the document had been soaked by the rain so that the writing was blurred and could not be distinguished clearly.

He stretched out his hand to open it, only to see a few lines written vaguely in small script, and he read slowly: "Jiang Xiaolang, born in the seventh year of Sui Daye, from Jiangjiazhuang, Henan County."

Zeng Tai took a deep breath, slowly closed the document, and stood up slowly.

On the official road, under the leadership of the county magistrate, the three classes of government officials surveyed the scene in an orderly manner and searched for evidence.

Zeng Tai thought quietly.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and a team leader rushed up behind him and said hurriedly: "My lord, a carriage and the driver's headless corpse were found beside the official road one mile away!"

Zeng Tai raised his head: "Go, go and have a look!"

Said, walked to the distance.

At this time, the yamen servants and the police have surrounded the carriage.

Zeng Tai and the team leader hurried over.

I saw a headless corpse sitting on the front seat of the carriage, the left arm was cut off, and the long whip that drove the carriage was tightly held in the right hand.

Zeng Tai looked around, but there were no other traces around.

He stretched out his hand to lift the curtain and stepped into the carriage.

Suddenly, he was stunned, and saw an eagle painted with blood on the inner wall of the carriage!
……

Di Renjie and Wang Mang came out of the palace. Wang Mang practiced his kung fu quietly and evaporated the sweat from his vest. He let out a long breath.

Di Renjie sighed: "Jing Yang, can you really cure His Majesty's illness? Why haven't I heard that Di Chun has a body of nine yangs?"

Wang Mang smiled: "Don't worry, you just need to call Di Chun over to help!"

Di Renjie remembered what Wang Mang said to the emperor. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Jing Yang, did you see something?"

Wang Mang said: "It's hard to say now!"

Di Renjie shook his head: "Okay, you're so respectful, you're still playing tricks on me."

Wang Mang looked around, but there was no one, so he whispered something to Di Renjie.

Di Renjie's expression changed: "Really?"

Wang Mang nodded: "I'm not sure yet, but I think it's probably close to ten. Now you understand why I let Di Chun enter the palace."

Di Renjie nodded heavily.

Wang Mang smiled slightly: "My lord, don't worry! I have a lot of experience in dealing with such ghosts. Oh, yes, I haven't been to your lord's mansion for some time, and there is no rain today. If you want to tell Di Chun some things, your lord will not dislike me for eating and drinking, right?"

"You! Just take advantage of the old man!"

Di Renjie laughed.

"Hey! It's not easy to take advantage of adults. When you come to Baolingtang, you don't eat some of the medicinal food I made. That's all, and you still want to take it away..."

The laughter of the two came from afar.
