Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 223 Wu Dahan

In the middle of the night, the north gate of Chongzhou opened wide, and a group of officers and soldiers galloped in, each holding a few heads with bamboo poles.

Inside the General's Mansion, Wang Xiaojie strode into the main hall.

A lieutenant quickly greeted him: "General."

Wang Xiaojie asked, "Did you find Li Kaigu?"

Su Honghui said excitedly: "Since the general ordered the day before yesterday to pursue the traitor Li Kaigu in three directions, our army has fought against the bandit party several times in Helan Mountain. Hundred!"

Wang Xiaojie was overjoyed: "Really?"

Su Honghui nodded: "General Song of the first team has sent people back to the city to show their victory!"

Wang Xiaojie slapped his palms together: "Okay, pass on my general order. First, reward the victorious officers and soldiers. Second, strictly order all the troops to defeat Li Kaigu's rebellion within ten days, and don't procrastinate!"

Su Honghui hesitated for a moment: "Well, ten days might be too tight, right? Li Kaigu is brave and good at fighting, and he is extremely cunning. This time he is defeated, he must hide in the mountains and dare not directly confront our army."

Wang Xiaojie said sharply: "Then force him out! Li Kaigu and Qiu Jing must die, and these two thieves must be wiped out before the imperial envoy arrives in Chongzhou! Otherwise, our situation will be very bad!"

Su Honghui agreed loudly and walked out of the main hall.

Wang Xiaojie took a deep breath.

……

As night fell, Dongliulin Town was shrouded in a chilling atmosphere.

The surrounding area was eerily quiet, not even a dog barking could be heard.

In the courtyard of a family, Di Chun carried a pigeon cage and complained to Zeng Tai beside him as he walked: "General Quan is really serious, he insists on letting us bring these pigeons, it's so burdensome, if it's really What's the matter, and what can these pigeons do?"

He put the bamboo cage on the stone mill in the yard, and said with a smile, "You can't even feed the people, you have to feed them!"

As he spoke, he sprinkled a handful of grains in his hand into the cage, and the pigeons began to compete for food.

Zeng Tai laughed and said: "This is also General Quan's good intentions. I am afraid that if something happens to your lord, the pigeons can be used to report the news."

Di Chun nodded: "That's true. Hey, by the way, Mr. Zeng, how is that man?"

Zeng Tai shook his head and said, "Squat in the corner without saying a word."

Di Chun said angrily: "This guy is really unreasonable. He almost killed the master. If it wasn't for Master Hou..."

Zeng Tai said: "I can't blame him, the situation here is too miserable! My lord is right, he must have been frightened."

Di Chun sighed, nodded, closed the pigeon coop, and walked towards the main room with Zeng Tai.

The man squatted silently in the corner of the main room without saying a word.

Wang Mang, who was standing aside, looked at the man vigilantly, while Di Renjie walked up to him slowly with a smile on his face: "Are you feeling better?"

The man lowered his head slowly.

Di Renjie knelt down and asked kindly: "Can you tell me what happened in this town?"

The man raised his head, a frightened gleam in his eyes.

Di Renjie hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, ah, we are here to save you, we won't hurt you, do you understand?"

The man looked at Wang Mang standing aside with a look of fear on his face, and his whole body trembled slightly.

Di Renjie followed the man's gaze, looked at Wang Mang, and comforted him, "He's not a bad guy!"

The man stammered, "Hit, hit someone!"

Wang Mang said: "As long as you don't hurt the adults, I will not beat you."

Di Renjie smiled kindly: "Don't worry, he won't hit you anymore."

Looking at Di Renjie's kind face, the man hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Di Renjie said: "My name is Huaiying, you can call me Mr. Huai."

The man looked at Di Renjie without any expression on his face.

Di Renjie asked, "Then, what's your name?"

The man said dumbly: "Wu Dahan."

Di Renjie smiled: "Wu Dahan, this name is interesting. You must be very simple and honest."

Wu Dahan raised his head and said in a low voice, "They all say I'm a fool."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "You are not stupid. If you were a fool, how could you have such a normal conversation with me."

Wu Dahan suddenly cracked a smile.

Di Renjie said softly: "Dahan, it's still the same question, what happened in this town, can you answer me now?"

Wu Dahan stammered: "Yes, it's a bandit, a bandit..."

Di Renjie and Wang Mang looked at each other, and they were stunned: "Bandits?"

Wu Dahan nodded again and again: "Li Kai is a bandit!"

Di Renjie was taken aback immediately: "Li Kaigu, you mean Li Kaigu?"

Wang Mang thought of Wang Xiaojie's pond newspaper, and was immediately taken aback.

Wu Dahan nodded: "I was grinding tofu in the back, and the proprietress' head fell on the millstone, I ran out to see, they were killing people in the house, shouting: 'Li Kaigu is here!'

After shouting, he killed the boss and his son.

I fought them hard with my knife and cut down two.

Later, a few more rushed in and cut me a few times, and I didn't know anything. "

Di Renjie stood up slowly, and said to himself, "Li Kaigu!"

Wang Mang frowned immediately: "Did he really become a bandit?"

Di Renjie shook his head slightly, but did not speak.

Wu Dahan said, "Bandit! It's a bandit, Li Kaigu is a bandit!"

Di Renjie asked, "Dahan, have you seen Li Kaigu?"

Wu Dahan nodded.

Di Renjie's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Oh? What does he look like?"

Wu Dahan said: "It's like the bandits who killed our boss's family."

Di Renjie was stunned: "I'm talking about Li Kaigu."

Wu Dahan nodded: "The bandit is Li Kaigu!"

Wang Mang looked at Di Renjie helplessly, Di Renjie thought for a while and asked, "Ah, by the way, what did those bandits say besides calling Li Kaigu to come?"

Wu Dahan shook his head blankly: "I don't know, they didn't tell me."

Di Renjie stood up and said with a smile, "Dahan, from today onwards, follow us. I'm sure I can protect you."

Wu Dahan was dubious: "Really?"

Di Renjie nodded.

Wang Mang was shocked immediately: "My lord, this?"

Di Renjie gave Wang Mang a wink, Wang Mang nodded slightly, but did not speak.

After a while, Wang Mang and Di Renjie returned to the main room, and Zeng Tai rushed up to greet him: "My lord, Lord Hou, did that man say anything?"

Di Renjie thought quietly, without speaking.

Wang Mang said: "That man's name is Wu Dahan, and he said that the people in this town were killed by bandits."

"bandit?"

Zeng Tai was taken aback.

Wang Mang nodded, and soon, Wang Mang told Zeng Tai about the conversation between Wu Dahan and Di Renjie just now.

After Zeng Tai listened, he said to Di Renjie: "My lord, what Wu Dahan said just confirms the official document you received this morning, which said that after Li Kaigu rebelled, he withdrew from Chongzhou and fled into Helan In the mountains."

Di Renjie sat quietly without speaking.
