Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 233
The imperial envoy's office is located in the General's Mansion.

Di Renjie, Wang Xiaojie, and Wang Mang walked into the main room slowly.

Wang Mang looked around, and the furnishings in the main room were very ordinary, with only simple tables, chairs and benches.

Moreover, the area is not particularly large, and it is almost the same as an ordinary gentry's house, which surprised Wang Mang very much.

Could it be that Wang Xiaojie...

Thinking, Wang Xiaojie's voice came from next to his ear.

Wang Xiaojie said with a smile all over his face: "Commander, this place is a bit small, but there is no way to do it. Chongzhou is a border gate, and the conditions are simple."

Di Renjie smiled and said: "Very good, very good. I am already very uneasy about letting the general vacate my house."

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the east end of the courtyard: "Go!"

Wang Mang raised his head, it turned out that Zhang Huan and Li Lang were escorting Song Wuji and Zhu Feng to the back.

Wang Xiaojie also saw this scene, he was startled immediately, and looked at the general Su Honghui beside him, Su Honghui shook his head slightly at him.

Wang Mang and Di Renjie quietly observed their behavior and expressions.

At this time, an inexplicable expression flashed in Wang Mang's eyes.

Wang Xiaojie coughed lightly, and forced a smile on his face: "Ah, sir, please."

Di Renjie replied: "Ah, please, please."

Di Renjie sat down, Wang Xiaojie said to Wang Mang and Zeng Tai: "My lords, please sit down too!"

Wang Mang and Zeng Tai smiled slightly and sat down.

After everyone was seated in the main hall, the servants offered tea.

Di Renjie's eyes turned to Wang Xiaojie: "General, I just asked Chongzhou Governor Shi and Sima, and you seem to be having a hard time opening your mouth. This is..."

Wang Xiaojie said: "Commander, Chang Shi of Chongzhou and Sima are the minions of Qiu Jing's subordinates. They secretly informed the two thieves, Qiu and Li, of plotting to rebel and were taken down by the last general. However, yesterday, they committed suicide in prison in fear of crime."

Hearing this, Wang Mang and Zeng Tai looked at each other, and they frowned.

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Those women in front of the prison just now..."

Wang Xiaojie said: "They are both family members."

Di Renjie asked: "Is there any real evidence for their participation in the rebellion?"

Wang Xiaojie hurriedly replied: "Commander, although there is no real evidence, these two people have a close relationship with Qiu Jing and Li Kaigu. When Li Kaigu rebelled, there was chaos in the city. I am afraid that these two people will add fuel to the flames and trigger civil uprisings. Lock them up, but I didn't expect..."

These words were very reasonable. Although Di Renjie was unhappy, he was impeccable: "Forget it, this way of dealing with it can't be wrong."

Wang Xiaojie thanked: "Thank you, Marshal, for your understanding."

Di Renjie asked: "Are these two locked in the same prison?"

Wang Xiaojie shook his head: "No, they are detained separately."

Di Renjie said: "They were detained separately, but they both committed suicide in fear of crime?"

Wang Xiaojie nodded: "That's right, it's because the general was negligent in guarding against it."

Di Renjie broke his face with a smile, and said in an unpredictable and profound way: "This is really a coincidence, it seems that these two people have a good understanding!"

He emphasized the last five words, Wang Xiaojie looked up at him sensitively.

Di Renjie coughed lightly: "General, what happened to Li Kaigu's rebellion a few days ago?"

Wang Xiaojie raised his head: "Ah, the last general has been detailed in the Tang newspaper. Why, the commander-in-chief didn't see it?"

Di Renjie said: "Of course I saw it, but I still want to ask the general about some details."

Wang Xiaojie said: "Yes. The situation is like this: the imperial court ordered Qianniuwei to escort Chongzhou Inspector Qiu Jing to Beijing. He didn't want to be intercepted by bad guys halfway, and all the guards were killed."

Di Renjie said: "Yes, I know about this matter. Then, how did the general know that this matter was done by Li Kaigu?"

Wang Xiaojie hurriedly said: "Oh, it was a sergeant who witnessed it with his own eyes, and the leader of the bandit was Li Kaigu. So the last general sent people to investigate overnight. Seeing that the situation was not good, the bandit led his army to mutiny and left Chongzhou."

Di Renjie nodded slowly: "Did someone witness Li Kaigu's rebellion?"

Wang Xiaojie replied, "Exactly."

Di Renjie asked, "A sergeant?"

Wang Xiaojie replied: "Yes."

Di Renjie said with a smile: "Xiaojie just passed by, and it was Qianniuwei who escorted Qiu Jing back to the capital, and all of them were martyred. In this case, how could any sergeant see Li Kaigu?"

Wang Xiaojie was dumbfounded: "This, this..."

He "this" for a long time, really can't justify himself.

He turned his gaze to Su Honghui.

Su Honghui hurriedly made a rescue and said, "That's right, a sergeant happened to pass by here and happened to see Li Kai

Di Renjie nodded: "I see."

He slowly picked up the teacup, squinting at Wang Xiaojie from the corner of his eye.

Wang Xiaojie gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Di Renjie put down his teacup.

There was an awkward silence in the hall.

Suddenly, Wang Xiaojie raised his head and opened his mouth, as if he wanted something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Di Renjie looked directly at Wang Xiaojie with both eyes: "Xiaojie, if you have anything to say, just speak up."

Wang Xiaojie said: "Yes. When he just entered the mansion, Mo Jiang saw Qian Niuwei escorting two people, one of them looked like Song Wuji, the former battalion general..."

Di Renjie nodded: "Exactly."

Wang Xiaojie's complexion changed abruptly, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Song Wuji was ordered by the general to go into the mountains to wipe out Li Kai's rebellious party. I don't know why the commander detained him for no reason?"

Di Renjie smiled: "Song Wuji is Xiaojie's subordinate, right?"

Wang Xiaojie said, "Exactly."

Di Renjie snorted coldly: "This person has committed a heinous crime!"

Wang Xiaojie sneered: "Oh? What crime?"

Di Renjie's face sank, and he said word by word: "Secretly ordering the officers and soldiers to pretend to be bandits, killing the good and pretending to be meritorious, it's extremely cruel!"

Wang Xiaojie was surprised: "This, how is this possible?"

Di Renjie said coldly: "How is this impossible? Xiaojie, do you think those heads in front of your handsome case are really Li Kaigu rebels?"

Wang Xiaojie stood up abruptly: "What is the meaning of this, Commander?"

Di Renjie also stood up, and said coldly: "These are the heads of the innocent people in Helan Mountain, the blood of the peaceful people under the Chongzhou rule!"

Wang Xiaojie snorted heavily: "I don't believe they would do such a thing. Marshal, do you have evidence?"

Di Renjie said: "The evidence is solid!"

Wang Xiaojie asked, "What is the proof?"

Di Renjie waved to Zeng Tai, Zeng Tai took out two confessions from his arms and walked over quickly, and handed them to Wang Xiaojie.

Wang Xiaojie opened it, read it quickly, and suddenly raised his head: "This, this..."

Di Renjie stared at him with lightning eyes: "This is absolutely true! This commander also saw it with his own eyes. Dongliulin town is full of headless corpses. The scene is horrible!"

Wang Xiaojie jumped up from his chair and roared angrily, "I'm going to kill these two thieves with my own hands!"

Di Renjie smiled: "It's easy to kill people, but the hard part is to find out the truth!"

He put the emphasis on the word "truth" again, and fixed his eyes on Wang Xiaojie's expression.

Wang Xiaojie's body trembled, he raised his head subconsciously, meeting Di Renjie's eyes.

He coughed lightly: "What does the commander-in-chief mean by the truth?"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Don't Xiaojie know?"

Wang Xiaojie's face became very ugly: "The commander-in-chief is saying that I, Wang Xiaojie, ordered them to massacre the common people, killing the good and pretending to be meritorious?"

Di Renjie smiled lightly: "Xiaojie is too sensitive!"

Wang Xiaojie turned around abruptly, strode out of the main hall, Su Honghui got up quickly and said: "Master, please forgive me!"

After speaking, he quickly chased him out.

A smile appeared on Di Renjie's face.

Quan Shancai on the side commented: "This Wang Xiaojie is really arrogant. The commander-in-chief is on behalf of Tian Xunhun. He dares to contradict him in court. It is really unreasonable. According to the law, he should be punished for a big crime of disrespect!"

Di Renjie smiled: "He has nothing to say, there is no point in standing here any longer."

Quan Shan was stunned.

Di Renjie said: "Okay, it's been a hard journey, you go down and rest."

All the officials saluted and retired, only Wang Mang and Zeng Tai remained.
