Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 242 The Mystery of the Traitor
Di Renjie asked, "What's the matter?"

Zeng Tai said: "The carrier pigeons were given to us by General Quan for special use in the army. If the traitor released the pigeons to send a message to the woman in white, the pigeons would only fly back to General Quan, so how could they reach the woman in white?" hand?"

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

Wang Mang smiled: "I think, this traitor must have used some method to replace one of the four military carrier pigeons with their pigeon."

Zeng Tai was puzzled and said, "Oh? But, we are all together all the time! This, this seems unlikely, right?"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "I've already asked Quan Shancai. The pigeons did fly back to Zuowei camp, but only three of them returned!"

Zeng Tai was stunned.

Wang Mang took a deep breath.

Di Renjie asked: "What is so important that this traitor risked being exposed and let the pigeons go under our noses? And what is that woman in white looking for in the town?"

Zeng Tai said: "Master, I think they must be after you."

Di Renjie nodded slowly: "It's possible. But, have you ever thought about it? We have more than ten people, and we have a big goal. It is clear at a glance whether we are staying in the town. But Ruyan said just now, these men in black are going from house to house. Search, then it must not be looking for us."

Zeng Tai was startled: "Oh, then who are they looking for?"

Wang Mang said: "It may be a person or it may be an object. Judging from the clues we have so far, it's hard to say."

Di Renjie nodded: "Jing Yang is right, I think there must be something strange in this matter!"

As soon as the words finished, Ruyan ran back and handed over the black bundle in her hand: "Uncle, here you are."

Wang Mang quickly took it, put it on the table and opened it, and there were indeed more than a dozen Tang newspapers inside.

Di Renjie walked to the table, picked up a book, opened it, read it, and let out a soft "ah".

He picked up another book and opened it, his face suddenly became serious.

Wang Mang, Zeng Tai, and Ruyan looked at him quietly.

Di Renjie quickly finished reading the Tang newspaper, and began to think quietly.

Wang Mang asked tentatively, "My lord, what was written in the pond newspaper?"

Di Renjie took a deep breath: "These pond reports were all written by the governor of Chongzhou, Qiu Jing, to the court before the army was defeated in Dongxia Shigu, saying that the cold weather was not good for the army to fight, and the transportation in Chongzhou was difficult, so he asked the court to withdraw the army."

"what!"

Wang Mang was taken aback.

Zeng Tai was also taken aback: "Aren't these all the words that Wang Xiaojie sent to the imperial court?
Moreover, Wang Xiaojie also said that before the defeat of the army, he sent more than a dozen Tang newspapers to the imperial court, but they were replaced by the gangsters in Helan Post.Why, why did Qiu Jing's pond newspaper come out again? "

Di Renjie looked down at the pond newspapers in his hand: "These pond newspapers were brought out by the woman in white from Helan Station.

But after they turned halfway to Dongliulin Town, they were killed by Yuan Fang.

Therefore, these pond newspapers should be the dozens of emergency official ponds that were forwarded to the imperial court via Helanyi before the defeat.

The villains exchanged these official ponds for good news and sent them to the court to confuse us.And these are the original manuscripts. "

Zeng Tai was confused: "But, weren't those dozens of Tang newspapers issued by Wang Xiaojie? How could it be Qiu Jing's?"

Di Renjie thought quietly, and said softly: "These pond newspapers were obtained by Yuanfang from the gangsters, so there should be no fakes. Then there is only one possibility..."

Zeng Tai took the lead: "Wang Xiaojie is lying!"

Wang Mang frowned and did not speak.

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang and asked, "Jing Yang, what do you think?"

Wang Mang said: "It doesn't make sense, why didn't they destroy these important things on the spot?"

Zeng Tai said: "Could it be that they didn't expect these things to fall into Yuan Fang's hands?"

Wang Mang nodded: "Of course they didn't think of this, but based on my understanding of snake spirits, the most important thing for them is to destroy the evidence, which is unreasonable no matter how you look at it!"

Zeng Tai was speechless for a moment.

Di Renjie nodded.

Suddenly, he asked Ruyan, "How did you get together with Li Kaigu and Qiu Jing?"

Ruyan said: "I don't know much about the previous matter, why don't you call Li Kaigu?"

Di Renjie pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Zeng Tai, please come here with Qiu Jing and Li Kaigu."

Zeng Tai walked out quickly.

……

Under the night, both sides of the south gate of Chongzhou are covered with pine pillars, and patrol teams shuttle back and forth.

There was a sound of horseshoes in the quiet night, and a team of pumas came galloping, and the leader was Wang Xiaojie.

The fire chief on patrol rushed to greet him: "General!"

Wang Xiaojie shouted loudly: "Open the city gate!"

Huo Chang was taken aback; "The general is still going out so late?"

Su Honghui from behind said impatiently: "Where is all this nonsense coming from, open the door!"

The fire chief agreed, and quickly ran to the post.

There was a huge roar, and the iron gate was lifted.

At this time, Wang Xiaojie hesitated instead: "Honghui, we will never come back after leaving this gate!"

Su Honghui said in a hurry: "General, let's go, late will change!"

As soon as Wang Xiaojie gritted his teeth, he galloped out of the city on his horse, followed closely by the cavalry behind him.

……

In the main hall of the Marshal's Mansion, Li Kaigu explained in detail the process of intercepting Qiu Jing's prison car, and finally said: "Marshal, the whole thing happened like this."

Di Renjie let out a long breath, and said with a smile, "This is really a coincidence! If Yuan Fang hadn't witnessed the whole process of intercepting the prison vehicle with his own eyes, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to tell clearly with your mouths all over your body!"

Li Kaigu said: "My lord, General Yuan Fang is really a hero. I, Li Kaigu, have been in the army for decades, and I have never seen such a man."

Di Renjie let out a long sigh: "I believe that the person he protects with his life will definitely be right!"

As he said that, his eye circles turned red, and he forced a smile, "Don't worry, Yuan Fang's blood will not be shed in vain, I must investigate this matter to the bottom!"

Wang Mang asked: "General Li, you just said that there was a group of men in purple clothes who hijacked the prison car in the canyon?"

Li Kaigu nodded: "Exactly. Qianniuwei was murdered by these men in purple who set up an ambush on both sides of the canyon! Hey, it's a step late in the future."

Qiu Jing sighed and said, "Yes. Kai Gu, if you are one step late, I will die at their hands!"

Di Renjie said to Qiu Jing: "Master Qiu, you said just now that those men in purple who intercepted and killed Qian Niuwei were officers?"

Qiu Jing nodded: "Exactly. I know the leader in humble positions. He is an officer under the command of You Weiwei, and his name is Zhou Sheng."

Di Renjie said to Wang Mang and Zeng Tai: "Understood, it seems that these men in purple clothes were sent by General Wang Xiaojie."
