Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 236 Murder
In the main hall, Zeng Tai wandered anxiously.

Di Renjie and Wang Mang walked in, and Di Renjie asked, "Zeng Tai, how are you doing?"

Zeng Tai took a step forward: "Master, everything is done, the corpse has been transported, and it is now in the back garden."

Di Renjie said: "Okay, let's go and have a look!"

In the middle of the garden, a few wind-dead lanterns were set up, shining brightly.

Two corpse beds were placed side by side.

Chongzhou criminal officer and Wu Zuo stood aside.

Di Renjie, Wang Mang, Zeng Tai and others walked in.

The criminal officer and Wu Zuo knelt down on both knees: "Kowtow to the imperial envoy!"

Di Renjie woke them up and asked, "How did these two people die?"

The criminal officer said: "He died by hanging."

Di Renjie nodded, walked to the corpse bed, and said to Wu Zuo, "Lift his head up."

Wu Zuo hurried over to lift up the dead man's head, and suddenly heard a "click" sound from the neck,

Wang Mang hurriedly said, "Wait!"

Wu Zuo stopped his hands: "What's the matter, my lord?"

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other

Wang Mang's hand touched the back of the dead man's neck lightly, and there was a "cracking" sound from the neck.

Wang Mang said, "My lord, come and take a look!"

Di Renjie nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and gently touched the back of the dead man's neck. After a long time, Di Renjie said to Zuo: "Cut the back of the dead man's neck!"

……

At the beginning of the watch, on the street, an old soldier on night watch shouted and beat the bell.

Suddenly, a black figure flashed out, covered his mouth, and dragged him into the alley next to him.

In the guest room, Li Yuanfang stood up, and said to Li Kaigu and the others: "It's already been changed, let's go."

Everyone nodded, picked up their things, opened the door, and walked out quickly.

Suddenly Li Yuanfang stopped and said softly, "That's not right!"

Li Kaigu was surprised: "What's wrong?"

Li Yuanfang's eyes scanned the surroundings, and suddenly, he shouted: "There is an ambush!"

Li Kai didn't believe it: "Impossible, who knew us..."

Li Yuanfang turned around quickly, and ruthlessly pushed Qiu Jing and the other three behind him into the inn.

Sooner or later, there was a sound of bowstrings in the quiet night, followed by arrows like rain.

Li Yuanfang jumped into the shop and closed the door.

With a shocking sound, the door panel turned into a thorn in an instant.

The quiet street immediately became noisy, with torches illuminating every corner, people shouting and hooves thundering.

Teams of right guard archers rushed to the door, opened their bows and set arrows, aiming at the door of the inn.

Wang Xiaojie and Su Honghui galloped to the door.

Su Honghui yelled sharply: "Surround the inn all around, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and anyone who violates the order will die!"

The soldiers answered loudly, "Yes!"

In the courtyard, Li Yuanfang, Li Kaigu, and Qiu Jing looked out through the crack of the door.

Ruyan's face turned pale with fright, and she kept saying: "It's so dangerous, so dangerous..."

Li Kaigu said softly: "You Weiwei, you really came here for us!"

Qiu Jing was still in shock: "How would they know we are here?"

Li Yuanfang turned around suddenly: "Who leaked the news!"

Ruyan stammered: "Oh, is the person who leaked the news still here? Just, if it weren't for you just now, we would all be hedgehogs now!"

Li Yuanfang said softly: "There are traitors, there are traitors..."

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the three people in front of him. The three of them turned their backs and looked out. Yuan Fang's gaze passed over them one by one. Qiu Jing, Li Kaigu, Ruyan...

He shook his head and murmured: "It doesn't make sense, could it be those five people?"

Wang Xiaojie's voice came from outside: "Rebels Li Kaigu, Qiu Jing, listen, you are already surrounded, go out and surrender as soon as possible, you can still save your life, otherwise, the Weiwei brigade will attack the door, and everyone will be destroyed!"

Li Yuanfang gritted his teeth, Li Kaigu, Qiu Jing, and Ruyan all turned around and looked at him.

The guards of the right guard sealed off the entire street, and the archers lined up in four rows in front of the inn.

General Wang Xiaojie and Su Honghui immediately marched forward, looking coldly into the inn.

With a "squeak", the store door opened slowly, and a person came out.

This person was wearing a Fanyang felt hat and a purple robe, holding a steel knife in his hand. It was Li Yuanfang.

Wang Xiaojie and Su Honghui had puzzled expressions on their faces.

Li Yuanfang walked slowly to Wang Xiaojie's horse, bowed and saluted: "General."

Wang Xiaojie shouted, "Who are you?"

Li Yuanfang said in a loud voice: "Li Yuanfang, the humble general of Qianniuwei Zhonglang."

Wang Xiaojie and Su Honghui were taken aback immediately, they whispered a few words, Wang Xiaojie asked: "Are you Qianniuwei?"

Li Yuanfang nodded: "That's right. He is currently the captain of the guard of Generalissimo Di Ge of the Hebei Road Army."

Wang Xiaojie was surprised again: "Oh, you are the captain of Marshal Di's guard?"

Li Yuanfang nodded: "Yes."

Wang Xiaojie snorted: "What proof?"

Li Yuanfang took out the official certificate from his arms and held it up with both hands: "The final general has an official certificate, please check it with the general."

As soon as Wang Xiaojie waved his hand, the lieutenant beside him walked over quickly, took the official certificate and handed it to Wang Xiaojie.

Wang Xiaojie opened it and looked it over, raised his head and said coldly: "Li Yuanfang, if this general is not mistaken, you are with Qiu Jing and Li Kaigu, right?"

Li Yuanfang said, "Not bad."

Wang Xiaojie looked at Su Honghui, and sneered: "This morning, Marshal Di was still condemning the officers under my right guard for killing good men and taking meritorious service.

He probably never imagined that after a few hours, this general saw his captain of the guard together with the traitors Qiu Jing and Li Kaigu who conspired against the rebel!
Hmph, I want to see what else he has to say this time! "

Li Yuanfang said: "General Rong, although Qiu Jing and Li Kaigu have committed serious crimes, they have hidden complaints. The reason why the two of them were brought to Chongzhou this time is to meet with Marshal Di, and he will interrogate them personally." , in order to find out the truth and clarify the facts, I hope the general will learn from you!"

Wang Xiaojie snorted: "You said these two rebels have hidden complaints?"

Li Yuanfang said: "Exactly."

Wang Xiaojie smiled and said: "Oh, what is the secret, isn't it the same as what the general said?"

Li Yuanfang smiled: "General, now that Marshal Di is in charge of Chongzhou, I think it's more appropriate for him to judge."

Wang Xiaojie yelled angrily: "Bold Li Yuanfang, as a general of the imperial guards, conspired with the rebellious party to make trouble, and now he comes in front of this general, and dares to talk tricks and try to get rid of the crime! You open your mouth, Commander Di, shut your mouth, Commander Di, yes! Don't you take Ben in your eyes?"

Li Yuanfang hurriedly said: "The general dare not, this time the general will act alone, he is entrusted by Master Di, I hope the general will understand."

These words were reasonable, Wang Xiaojie hesitated a little, his eyes looked at Su Honghui beside him.
