Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 198
Di Renjie stopped in his tracks, looked at Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang, and asked, "What is the pond newspaper for?"

Wang Mang smiled: "Let Brother Yuanfang answer this question!"

Li Yuanfang said: "Generally speaking, the Ministry of War Tangbao is mainly used to report the progress of the battle and the transportation and transshipment to the cabinet, and to convey the victory and request reinforcements to the imperial court."

Di Renjie nodded: "That's right. But today's Tang Bao is General Zhao Wenhuang's report to the emperor that he has led his army to hide behind the enemy through the Turks!"

Li Yuanfang was taken aback: "Oh?"

Wang Mang was also stunned.

Di Renjie said: "This is a top secret in the army, it should not be reported to the emperor through the pond newspaper.

Moreover, usually this kind of situation does not need to be reported to the imperial court. As the saying goes: 'The general will be outside, and the emperor's order will not be accepted'.This is just a matter between the generals of the army.

In other words, even if Zhao Wenhui's surprise soldiers were in place, as long as Wang Xiaojie who was in front was notified, and the two agreed to launch an attack at a time, why did they report to the court through the Tangbao?
Although the Tang newspaper forwarded by the imperial court's secret station is also top secret, the secrecy is much worse after all.This approach is unreasonable! "

Wang Mang took a deep breath: "Your Excellency, are you talking?"

Li Yuanfang also sensed the abnormality of the situation, and couldn't help gasping: "What does your lord mean—?"

Di Renjie smiled: "I don't mean anything, I just feel a little strange."

Wang Mang asked, "Would you like to play the Holy Spirit?"

Di Renjie shook his head: "The emperor is in high spirits, so it's better not to use this kind of speculation to dampen her spirits. Maybe, this is just my unfounded thinking. Let's wait until after the victory on Yuanxi."

Wang Mang couldn't help recalling Xiao Qingfang's trip to Turkic, his complexion gradually became solemn.

……

On the official road leading to Shendu in Yongchang County, a carriage was galloping in the dark night.

Zeng Tai in the carriage repeatedly urged the driver: "Hurry up! Hurry up!"

The carriage whizzed across the fields, heading towards the city of God.

The night shrouded the silent Yongchang County, except for the occasional barking of dogs.

In the quiet night, a few black shadows flew across the street quickly and rushed to the gate of Yongchang Pavilion.

It was the four men in purple who were following the girl in white, and the leader waved his hand, and the four of them leaped over the wall and rushed towards Ruyan's room.

The moonlight was like water, spilling into the house through the window lattice, Ruyan lay quietly under the curtain, and the big wooden box was placed on the ground in front of the bed.

"Crack!"

There was a soft sound in the silence, and a short knife was slowly inserted through the gap in the door, and with a light pry, the door latch was immediately lifted.

With a "bang", the door opened, and the man in black stepped in and reached out to catch the latch that was about to fall, his movements were clean and neat.

The three people behind them rushed into the room immediately, and the four people divided into two groups, one group went straight to Ruyan's bed, and the other group went straight to the wooden box.

Ruyan on the couch seemed to be in a deep sleep and didn't notice it at all.

Two men in black rushed to the bed, raised the steel knife in their hands...

Ruyan on the couch still didn't respond.

The cold light suddenly rose, and the man in black's dagger stabbed fiercely into Ruyan's back...

There was no cry, no blood, and no smoothness when the blade penetrated into the flesh. Their knives seemed to be stuck in a pile of soft things.

The two men in black were stunned. One of them stretched out his hand and gently turned the body over. This was Ruyan, and a quilt was placed in front of them.

The two were taken aback, they backed away quickly, it was already too late, suddenly they felt their ankles tightened, their bodies immediately lost their center of gravity, and they fell forward, the two exclaimed in surprise.

The two men in black who ran to the wooden box turned their heads when they heard the sound, and a shocking thing happened. The two men in black in front of the bed were actually hung upside down in mid-air, scratching with their hands.

The two people next to the wooden box looked at each other in surprise. At this moment, the wooden box next to them opened with a bang, and Ruyan jumped out of the box, raising both hands. Flowers bloomed on his face, and a white mist suddenly filled the room. The man in black screamed and covered his face with his hands.

With the sound of footsteps, several servants rushed in from the door with wooden sticks in their hands, and smashed the heads of the two men in black next to the box. With two "ping-pong" sounds, the two fell heavily to the ground.

Ruyan jumped out of the wooden box and asked several servants, "Have the postmen settled down?"

The servants nodded: "Miss, don't worry, we hired another carriage and found a doctor, and now they have boarded the carriage."

Ruyan nodded: "Tie up these boys, stuff them into a wooden box, and put them on the original carriage. Let's move immediately and take a detour to God's City!"

……

In the middle of the night, in front of the gate of Di Mansion in Luoyang, a rush of horseshoes and wheels grinding the ground broke the tranquility of the night.

Zeng Tai's carriage came at a gallop, the driver pulled the reins sharply, the shaft horse neighed, and stopped in front of the mansion gate.

The coachman jumped out of the car, put his pedals on, and said to Zeng Tai who was in the car: "My lord, we're here."

no answer.

The coachman raised his voice: "My lord, I have arrived at Di Mansion, please get off the car."

Still no sound.

The driver was startled, and stretched out his hand to push the door of the carriage...

I saw Zeng Tai leaning crookedly against the wall of the carriage, with a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.

……

Di Renjie rushed into the second hall, Li Yuanfang had already been waiting here, his expression was very nervous.

Di Renjie asked hurriedly, "Yuan Fang, what happened?"

Li Yuanfang pointed to the bed and said, "My lord, come and take a look!"

Di Renjie was taken aback, and walked quickly to the couch, only to see Zeng Tai lying on the couch, his face purple and black, motionless, with a weird smile on his mouth.

Di Renjie was stunned immediately: "Zeng Tai! What, what's going on?"

Li Yuanfang pointed behind him and said, "This is brother Zeng's coachman, let him tell."

The coachman said with a mournful face: "I don't know, Mr. Zeng came to the county government office when he was new, and said that he had something important to go to Shendu overnight to report to you. This, this way, everything is fine. When we arrived at the government office At the door, please ask him to get off the car, he, he..."

As he spoke, the coachman burst into tears.

Di Renjie asked: "Did you hear anything on the road?"

The coachman shook his head: "I didn't hear anything, it's Master Zeng who kept urging me."

Di Renjie walked up to Zeng Tai, stretched out three fingers to check the pulse, and let out a long breath: "There is still a pulse. Take the needle!"

Di Chun quickly ran towards the inner hall.

Di Renjie waved at Yuan Fang, and Yuan Fang gently helped Zeng Tai up.

Di Renjie carefully inspected Zeng Tai's head. Suddenly, his eyes rested on Zeng Tai's neck, and a steel needle came into view. Di Renjie took a deep breath, gently raised and lowered the steel needle with his hand, and moved closer to it. Looking closely at the wind lamp, the steel needle is two minutes long, shining blue light under the light.

Di Renjie sighed: "It's so poisonous!"

Li Yuanfang laid Zeng Tai's body flat, took the poisonous needle and looked at it carefully.

Suddenly, he gasped and exclaimed, "Shadowless Needle!"

Di Renjie was taken aback: "What?"

Li Yuanfang's hands trembled slightly: "My lord, wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, he walked out the door quickly.

Di Renjie looked at his back in surprise.
