Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 173 Doubt
On the second day, it was drizzling.

On the open space in front of Enjizhuang Village, a high platform was built with logs.

The villagers gathered under the high platform, discussing:
"I heard that Lord Di wants to give us an explanation."

"Did he really catch the murderous ghost?"

Pang San squeezed into the crowd, looked up on the high platform, and hummed softly: "It's a trick! Officials are all the same, can they work hard for us ordinary people? I think he can't think of a way to do this." Xuanxu fooled us!"

Suddenly someone shouted: "Look, here we come!"

As he spoke, the crowd scrambled towards the high platform.

Surrounded by the imperial guards, Di Renjie, Wang Mang, and Zeng Tai strode onto the high platform.

Di Renjie winked at Zeng Tai, Zeng Tai waved his hand down and shouted: "Bring it up!"

The yamen servants escorted Gao Rujin to the stage.

Di Renjie walked slowly to the front of the stage and said loudly: "My fellow countrymen, today I brought a person for you."

The audience suddenly fell silent.

Di Renjie pointed back at Gao Rujin who was beside him: "Maybe you don't know him, but his name has long been known to the people of Enji Village! He is the owner of the Jiang family compound—— The famous Jiang Xiaolang!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience exploded immediately.

"What, Jiang Xiaolang? Wasn't he killed by a ghost decades ago?"

"Maybe it's really him. I heard that Master Di opened Jiang Xiaolang's tomb on the hill and found it was empty!"

"What exactly is going on?"

Wang Mang waved his hand and shouted with all his internal strength: "Everyone be quiet, let the adults finish first."

The crowd suddenly fell silent.

Di Renjie said: "Folks, the bloody incident that happened in Jiangjiazhuang 60 years ago was not caused by evil spirits and murderous soldiers! It was a man-made disaster, a huge conspiracy! The mastermind of this conspiracy was It's Jiang Xiaolang!"

Under the stage, the crowd became commotion again.

Pang San shouted: "Lord Di, how do we know if this old man is Jiang Xiaolang?"

Di Renjie said: "After interrogation, Jiang Xiaolang has confessed to his crime!"

With that said, he turned to Jiang Xiaolang: "Jiang Xiaolang, tell everyone yourself!"

Gao Rujin said: "Folks, 60 years ago, I planned the Jiangjiazhuang massacre to kill people. A fire killed more than 100 people! I, I am a sinner in Jiangjiazhuang! Folks, you killed Kill me! Kill me!"

As he spoke, he fell to his knees with a "plop".

The audience suddenly became chaotic.

Everyone embraced and shouted: "Kill him! Kill him!"

The crowd gathered around, and bricks and tiles flew horizontally, hitting Gao Rujin's body, and blood flowed from Gao Rujin's forehead immediately.

Di Renjie gave Wang Mang a wink, Wang Mang waved his hand, and the guards quickly surrounded Gao Rujin.

Di Renjie shouted: "Folks, everyone calm down! Calm down! Listen to me!"

The audience gradually quieted down.

Di Renjie said: "Back then, in order to cover up the truth of the crime, Jiang Xiaolang made up a set of stories about ghosts and tricked the villagers, making the case an unsolved case! In fact, ghosts don't exist. It was like this 60 years ago, and 60 years later. This is still the case today!"

"Could it be that the headless ghost who killed Uncle Pang Jiu is also a human?"

A shout came from the crowd, it was Pang San.

Di Renjie said, "Of course it's a human being!"

Pang San sneered and said: "I think adults can't catch ghosts, so why are you prevaricating us with these words?!"

Zeng Tai roared angrily: "Bold and unreasonable, how dare you be so rude! Someone, take it down for me!"

The guards shouted loudly, rushed forward, and pushed Pang San to the ground.

The villagers were shocked.

Di Renjie hurriedly shouted: "Stop! Let him go!"

The guards let him go.

Di Renjie said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe in this pavilion. The reason why I built a platform here today is to tell the folks that this pavilion is going to catch 'ghosts' in Enji Village, so that you can see for yourself the so-called What the hell is that headless ghost!"

As he spoke, Di Renjie gave Wang Mang a wink, Wang Mang nodded and walked on.

……

Wu Zetian's bedroom in Shangyang Palace.

Wu Zetian was sitting on the bed, looking at the kneeling national teacher Wang Zhiyuan with a smile: "Zhiyuan, your magic weapon is really very effective. Last night, there was nothing in the palace. For the first time in months, I fell asleep. Get a sense of relief. You have done a great job in this matter, and I will reward you!"

Wang Zhiyuan kowtowed and said: "The Holy Son of Heaven takes care of all the gods, and the ghosts will naturally subside. I just obeyed the sky and did a little thing, so why should I reward you from His Majesty?"

Wu Zetian smiled and nodded: "I have decreed that you will be made the Grand Master of the Fuguo, and you will be given gold as Doctor Ziguanglu! Give you a cart of gold beads."

Wang Zhiyuan kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I am so grateful."

……

Enji Zhuang He Yun's room.

He Yun lay on the kang, sleeping deeply.

Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering shout from outside the window.

He Yun suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

He trembled all over, let out a long breath, got up and went to the ground.

The shouts outside became louder and louder, shaking the window lattice.

He Yun panicked, quickly grabbed his coat, put it on his body, opened the door and walked out quickly.

The guards in the courtyard looked at the village head.

He Yun walked into the courtyard and asked, "What's wrong?"

The guard said: "I heard that Lord Di has captured Yuwen Chengdu's headless ghost, and the villagers all ran to watch it!"

He Yun sneered: "Really?"

As he spoke, he shook his head contemptuously and walked out of the courtyard.

As soon as He Yun walked out of the courtyard, Wang Mang walked over and said with a smile, "Master He, you woke up so early!"

He Yun smiled: "It turned out to be the lord, is this the lord?"

Wang Mang smiled and said, "Master He is very curious about the headless general. Master Di asked me to invite you to take a look at the headless general."

"Oh?"

He Yun raised his eyebrows: "I'm really curious, then let's go!"

Wang Mang smiled and walked ahead to lead the way.

At this time, it was raining non-stop.

He Yun walked slowly behind Wang Mang, his face was cloudy and cloudy, he didn't know what he was thinking, and beside the two of them, the villagers rushed past, yelling.

"Hurry up, Master Di has caught Li Gui! Go!"

There was a sneer of disdain on He Yun's face, and he said softly: "Playing tricks, let's see how you end up when the time comes!"

Wang Mang said, "What did Master He say?"

He Yun shook his head: "It's nothing, let's go and have a look!"

Wang Mang nodded, quickened his pace, and said, "Okay!"

He Yun also quickened his pace, and the two of them turned a corner and saw the high platform made of logs at a glance.

On the high platform, a headless man with a height of two feet, five arms and five feet, and a heavy armor was tied to a tall pillar.

The guards of the imperial guards drew their bows and unsheathed their knives, watching closely from the sidelines.

He Yun stopped in his tracks suddenly, his pupils dilated immediately.

Looking carefully, I saw a huge black horse tied by four or five thick ropes under the northwest corner of the high platform, neighing non-stop.

He Yun let out a scream, turned around and walked away, with a "bang", his head hit a person's body.
