Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 229

Zhu Feng trembled all over, and after a long time, he stammered: "Small, I don't understand."

Di Renjie shouted loudly: "You are the army! The army sent by Wang Xiaojie to hunt down Li Kaigu!"

Zhu Feng let out an exclamation.

"what?"

Wang Mang was stunned.

Zeng Tai was also dumbfounded: "Master, you mean, he, they are the Youwei Guards in Chongzhou?"

Di Renjie nodded: "That's right, this Zhu Feng is an officer under You Weiwei's command!"

Zeng Tai stammered: "This, this... this is impossible, why did the officers and soldiers kill the common people!"

Until this time, Wang Mang also understood, he sneered, his eyes pressed against Zhu Feng: "Kill the good and take the merit!"

Zhu Feng sat down on the ground, trembling all over.

Di Renjie asked forcefully: "How about it, are you telling the truth, or do you want me to kill you now!"

Zhu Feng kowtowed and said, "I'll say it, I'll say it all!"

Di Renjie said: "Say!"

Zhu Feng swallowed his saliva and said, "Sir, although I don't know your identity, you must be very familiar with the affairs of Chongzhou. A few days ago, the army suffered a disastrous defeat, and General Wang Xiaojie led us to flee back. Originally, we thought, I finally came back alive, and I was able to live a stable life for a few days. But I didn't expect Li Kaigu to turn against him again..."

Di Renjie asked, "Why did Li Kaigu rebel?"

Zhu Feng said: "I heard that he led the officers and soldiers to intercept and kill Qianniuwei and rescued the imperial criminals. The general sent people to investigate. When he saw that the matter was exposed, he betrayed him."

Di Renjie nodded: "Go ahead."

Zhu Feng said: "After Li Kaigu rebelled, the general was furious and sent our front battalion out of the city to pursue him, but is Li Kaigu easy to deal with?
Even the Khitan people trembled when they saw him.Hey, after we entered Helan Mountain, we were ambushed by Li Kaigu twice in succession, beating us dizzy, and by the time we realized it, he had disappeared long ago.

After traveling in the mountains for more than ten days, he didn't even see Li Kaigu's shadow.

At this time, the general sent someone to remind us, General Song of our front battalion had no choice but to order us, order us..."

Di Renjie snorted heavily: "Order you to massacre the local people, use their heads to pretend to be rebels, and ask for credit in front of Wang Xiaojie!"

Zeng Tai finally understood, and couldn't help gasping.

Zhu Feng knelt and climbed two steps: "K-Mr. Ke, the three chasers sent are all the same, it's not just us who do this."

Di Renjie roared angrily, "Shut up!"

Zhu Feng trembled all over.

Di Renjie pointed to his nose and shouted: "As the court guards, you are supposed to guard the land and protect the family, and protect the people from being abused, but wait for these villains, in order to seek rewards for their merits, flatter the superiors, and take the imperial court's rewards. Your salary, eating the military rations given to you by the common people, is devoid of conscience and inhumanity, wielding a butcher knife, tortures and kills the good people under my rule, and uses the heads of innocent people to pretend to be military exploits, it is not as good as animals, it is extremely vicious!"

Zhu Feng kowtowed again and again: "The little one deserves to die, the young one deserves to die! But, sir, this is an order from the superior, and I dare not disobey it!"

Di Renjie sneered: "Shangguan's order? Last night, you celebrated your victory with a banquet in the mountains, and you talked nonsense. It was such a joy to flatten Dongliulin Town and kill all the people in the town; it was such a joy to get both money and women.

He also said that being a bandit is more enjoyable than being an officer.Could it be that this is also the order of the Shangguan! "

Zhu Feng screamed and collapsed on the ground: "This, this, how do you know this?"

Di Renjie shouted: "If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing. Do you think you can hide the world's eyes and ears by doing such a cruel and despicable deed!"

Zhu Feng trembled all over, but didn't say a word.

Di Renjie took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions: "Who is your superior?"

Zhu Feng tremblingly said: "The former battalion general Song Wuji."

Di Renjie slapped the table hard: "What kind of general, a beast in clothes!"

Zhu Feng prostrated himself on the ground, trembling all over, not daring to raise his head.

Di Renjie glanced at him: "Song Wuji ordered you to bloodbath East Liulin Town, what purpose does Song Wuji have besides killing the good and pretending to be meritorious?"

Zhu Feng replied: "He, he just must kill all the people in the town. There must be no one slipping through the net, and the rest will be gone."

Di Renjie asked, "Oh? Is he like this?"

Zhu Feng nodded: "Exactly."

Di Renjie nodded: "Let him sign the confession!"

Wang Mang picked up the written confession and put it in front of Zhu Feng, who signed the confession.

Di Renjie waved his hand: "Take him down and keep him under strict supervision!"

Yang Fang agreed, and led Zhu Feng to walk quickly.

Di Renjie slammed his fist on the table: "If you don't bring these beastly beasts to justice, how can I, Di Renjie, face the people of Chongzhou! How can I face the emperor's trust and entrustment!"

Wang Mang sighed: "I really didn't expect that we would encounter such a thing as killing a good person and taking meritorious service. My lord, I understand. When you were in Dongliulin Town, you already thought that the murderers were not bandits but officers."

Di Renjie nodded: "At that time, I just wondered why the bandits cut off the head after killing someone.

However, when we met these fake bandits in the mountains, this Zhu Feng's words woke me up.

At that time, he laughed loudly: "Brothers, tomorrow's goal is Xiayaowa Village, everyone cut off a few more heads, and it will be easier to do business when we go back!" 'Do you guys still remember? "

Zeng Tai nodded: "Yes, I remember."

Di Renjie continued: "After listening to his two sentences, I completely understand that these bandits are fake officers and soldiers. You know, the method of calculating military merit in this dynasty depends on the number of enemy heads captured.

Back then, when I was governor of Youzhou, Prime Minister Zhang Guangfu, chief officer of the army marching in Hebei Province, murdered the people who fled the city and defected to us, and presented their heads to the emperor to demonstrate military merit.

I once said in front of his face, "If there is Shang Fang's horse sword, I would like to take your head!" '"

Wang Mang nodded: "I have heard people talk about this. After returning to the court, Zhang Guangfu played in front of the emperor, saying that you were a state general who despised the marshal, and you were demoted to Jiannan Road because of this."

Di Renjie nodded: "It's unexpected that what happened to Zhang Guangfu more than ten years ago, happened here again today!"

Zeng Tai resentfully said: "It's that former battalion general Song Wuji who is too hateful!"

Wang Mang also gritted his teeth and scolded, "What a bunch of beasts!"

Di Renjie smiled lightly: "Song Wuji is just a role in this matter, did you hear Zhu Feng's words just now?"

Zeng Tai nodded.

Wang Mang looked at Di Renjie's thoughtful expression, and pondered, "There's something strange about it."

Zeng Tai was surprised: "Oh?"

Di Renjie also raised his head: "Jing Yang, tell me?"

Wang Mang nodded slightly, and said slowly: "My lord, Brother Zeng, think about it, even if these officers and soldiers want to kill the good and pretend to be meritorious, they don't have to kill all the people in the town.

Moreover, if it is just for credit, it is enough for them to kill only men, why should they kill women and children? "

Zeng Tai said softly: "Jing Yang, what do you mean..."

Wang Mang shook his head slightly: "It's hard to say now!"

Di Renjie let out a long breath, and said: "Jing Yang is right, the water in Chongzhou is still very deep! Zeng Tai, you write a letter immediately and order Quan Shancai to send troops secretly to surround and arrest Song Wuji and the other two invaders. Suppress Li Kaigu's army, then block the news, and wait for me to go back!"

Zeng Tai said "yes".

Di Renjie said, "Let Di Chun send this letter back."

Zeng Tai nodded slightly, and quickly walked out the door.
