Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 224
Wang Mang looked at Di Renjie who was contemplating, and called out tentatively, "My lord?"

Di Renjie thought quietly for a long time before shaking his head.

Zeng Tai asked strangely: "Master, do you think it's not Li Kaigu?"

Di Renjie smiled slightly: "Zeng Tai, judging things is not as simple as yes or no, otherwise, do we still need analysis and reasoning?"

Zeng Tai was puzzled: "Then what do you mean..."

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang: "Jing Yang, do you think so too?"

Wang Mang thought for a moment, and said, "On the surface, it is indeed what Brother Zeng said, but if it is really Li Kaigu, then there are still a few doubts."

"Oh?"

Di Renjie's eyes lit up: "Jing Yang, what are you talking about?"

Wang Mang said: "If it was really the bandits, why did they kill all the people in the town? Isn't it strange?"

Zeng Tai asked suspiciously: "Jing Yang, what's so strange about this, do bandits need a reason to kill people?"

Wang Mang smiled and looked at the smiling Di Renjie.

Di Renjie smiled slightly after hearing Wang Mang's words: "Jing Yang is right. Under normal circumstances, there are only two reasons for bandits to loot villages and towns. The first is to raise money and food. There is no need to kill at all."

Wang Mang nodded slightly.

Zeng Tai asked suspiciously, "Why?"

Di Renjie said: "The bandits occupy the mountains and become kings, and the grasslands become bandits. All daily expenses and sources of military supplies must be obtained by plundering nearby villages and towns. If they kill all the people and burn the villages and towns to white ground, then they go to Who should you rob? This is called fishing out the water, and real bandits would never do this.”

Zeng Tai nodded: "It makes sense. Teacher, you just said that there are two reasons, which is the second?"

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang, and Wang Mang smiled slightly: "I think the second reason is that the bandits have a long-standing feud with the people in Dongliulin Town, which led them to raid the town and kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Zeng Tai nodded again and again: "Yes, yes. Oh, no..."

Di Renjie looked at him with a smile: "Tell me."

Wang Mang also looked at Zeng Tai.

Zeng Tai said: "Li Kaigu only retreated into Helan Mountain a few days ago, how could he immediately forge an enmity with the common people here? It's unreasonable."

Di Renjie smiled: "That's a good point. One more thing, Li Kaigu retreated from Chongzhou City into the mountains, and didn't have to go through Dongliulin Town at all. How could he have enmity with the people here?"

Zeng Tai nodded again and again: "Yes, yes."

Wang Mang said: "In this way, we can rule out this possibility. Furthermore, even if Li Kaigu really has a feud with the people here, even if Li Kaigu led his troops to kill all the people in the town, then he Why do you have to cut off the head of the dead body?"

Zeng Tai took a deep breath and nodded again and again: "Not bad, not bad."

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang and nodded slightly: "The last doubt, if this is really what Li Kaigu did, why did he let the soldiers shout 'Li Kaigu is here' before killing people?"

Zeng Tai said: "Maybe, he just wanted to let everyone know that he killed people."

Wang Mang asked, "Why?"

Zeng Tai was taken aback: "This...could it be a demonstration to the court?"

Hearing this, Di Renjie laughed: "He killed all the people in the town. If Wu Dahan hadn't been injured and got mixed up with the dead and survived by chance, then who would know that he killed them? Who is protesting?"

Zeng Tai nodded: "That's right, it's really against common sense and illogical to do so."

Wang Mang also nodded.

Suddenly, Zeng Tai asked: "Master, who do you think did this?"

Di Renjie shook his head: "It's still the same sentence, things always have an unknowable side, it's too early to draw conclusions now.

Maybe this is what Li Kaigu did, maybe there are other reasons for this.

Zeng Tai, you immediately send a letter to General Quan Shancai with a flying pigeon, ordering him to secretly send a scout from Tianqi County to sneak into Helan Mountain to investigate the matter! "

Zeng Tai nodded: "Yes, I'll do it right away."

Di Renjie said: "Also, order his army not to move for the time being, and stay in Tianqi County to wait for me."

Zeng Tai replied "Yes!"

As he said that, he winked at Di Chun and said with a smile, "How about it, the pigeons came in handy!"

Di Chun also laughed, and the two walked out the door quickly.

Di Renjie took a deep breath and slowly walked up.

Wang Mang looked at Di Renjie and said, "My lord, that Wu Dahan..."

Before he finished speaking, Di Chun suddenly yelled in panic: "Master! Master!"

Hearing Di Chun's yell, Di Renjie and Wang Mang were taken aback, thinking something happened to Zeng Tai, they walked out of the main room quickly.

Wang Mang took a few steps to the outside of the main room, and saw Di Chun and Zeng Tai standing beside the millstone in the yard dumbfounded.

Seeing Di Renjie and Wang Mang approaching, Di Chun stammered, "Master, the pigeon, the pigeon is gone!"

Wang Mang was taken aback, and looked at the millstone. Sure enough, the bamboo cage on the millstone was empty, and the cage door was wide open.

Wang Mang and Di Renjie were stunned.

Zeng Tai said anxiously: "Di Chun, did you just finish feeding and forgot to close the cage door?"

Di Chun said aggrievedly: "I remember clearly, I obviously closed the door!"

Zeng Tai said anxiously: "Then, why did the pigeon disappear?"

Di Chun was so anxious that he almost burst into tears: "I don't know that!"

Wang Mang looked around, and suddenly, he walked to the bamboo cage and followed, looking at the buckle on the bamboo cage, his brows were deeply frowned.

Di Renjie also looked around.

In the main room, Wu Dahan was still curled up in the corner and motionless, Di Renjie suddenly shouted: "Zhang Huan, Li Lang!"

The two rushed in.

Di Renjie asked, "Who has entered the yard just now?"

The two shook their heads: "The humble ranks have been waiting in front of the door, no one came in!"

Di Renjie pondered for a while and then said: "Zeng Tai, after you finish writing the letter, hand it over to Zhang Huan. Zhang Huan, ride a fast horse to Tianqi County overnight, and hand over the letter to General Quan!"

The two answered "yes" in unison and split up.

Di Chun said aggrievedly: "Master, I am obviously..."

Di Renjie interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and continued to pace the courtyard.

Wang Mang picked up the bamboo cage and looked at it. Di Renjie walked over slowly: "Jing Yang, what did you find?"

Wang Mang pointed to the clasp on the bamboo cage, and said solemnly, "My lord, look at this clasp!"

Di Renjie took a closer look, took a breath, and looked at Wang Mang.

Just as Wang Mang was about to speak, suddenly, in the main hall, Wu Dahan jumped up and laughed, "Fake, fake!"

Wang Mang and Di Renjie were taken aback, looking at the main hall.

Wu Dahan still pointed to the window sash: "Fake, you are fake!"

Di Chun hurried into the room: "Dahan, don't make trouble, sir is thinking about something!"

Wu Dahan smirked and was pushed aside by Di Chun.

Di Renjie withdrew his gaze, suddenly, he gasped, and blurted out: "Not good!"

……

At the same time, General Quan Shancai galloped over on a horse, and a lieutenant turned over and jumped off the horse, and hurriedly walked towards the commander's tent.

In the tent, Quan Shancai was sitting behind the desk, flipping through military books.

The deputy general strode in and reported: "General, something strange happened!"

Quan Shancai was stunned: "What strange thing?"

The lieutenant general said, "Three of the four pigeons you gave to Marshal Di flew back!"

Quan Shancai was taken aback, and stood up abruptly: "Is something wrong?"

The lieutenant general shook his head: "The feet of the three pigeons are all empty, nothing."

Quan Shancai said inexplicably: "What?"

The deputy general asked suspiciously: "General, what's going on here?"

Quan Shan raised his head: "Three of the four pigeons came back, how about one more?"
