Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 249 Quick Boots
Wang Mang asked: "My lord, did you see anything?"

Just as Di Renjie was about to speak, Li Lang walked over. Di Renjie put his quick boots in his sleeves, and said, "This is exactly what Qiu Jing said, where Wang Xiaojie hoarded supplies for transfer."

Wang Mang nodded and looked at Li Lang: "Li Lang, did you find anything?"

Li Lang said: "My lord, Lord Hou, we found some ruts on the road."

Di Renjie nodded: "Oh, Jingyang, let's go and have a look."

Wang Mang took one last look at the straw on the ground, and followed Di Renjie.

Soon, Wang Mang and Di Renjie came to the main road led by Li Lang. Sure enough, there were two deep ruts on the main road.

Di Renjie pointed to the ruts on the ground and said: "Jing Yang, from these two ruts, it can be seen that the man in purple led by the woman in white loaded the supplies into the carriage from here, and walked westward along the path ahead. The general will send supplies to the Khitan army."

Wang Mang said bitterly: "This Wang Xiaojie really deserves death!"

Di Renjie pointed to another rut and said, "But, look at this rut, why is it heading east..."

As he said that, he raised his head and looked east, the mountain road connected east and west, leading to the distance.

Di Renjie said: "The Khitan army is in the due west, but why is this rut ​​facing due east?"

Wang Mang was also very puzzled by this: "Yes, how could this happen?"

Di Renjie didn't speak, he waved to the guide who was not far away, and the guide ran over quickly not far away.

Di Renjie asked, "Where is east from this valley?"

The guide replied: "Oh, it's Qingshi Valley."

Di Renjie nodded and told Wang Mang, "Jing Yang, let Zhang Huan pack up the things here and bring them all back to Chongzhou."

Wang Mang promised to leave quickly.

Wang Mang yelled loudly as he walked: "Everyone pack up the things in the wooden shed and bring them all back to Chongzhou!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Huan and others agreed in unison.

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang's back thoughtfully, he rolled up the broken boots in his hand, and looked again.

……

At the gate of Chongzhou Governor's Mansion, the guards were heavily guarded.

In the court, Zeng Tai led Cao officials at all levels in Chongzhou, such as grain cao, army cao, fa cao, and silver cao, to read the files and record them from time to time.

A Liang Cao came over with the account book and said: "Master Zeng, that's right, during the battle, there were 71 transfers by humble hands."

Zeng Tai nodded: "Okay, make three copies."

"Yes!"

Liang Cao agreed and ran away.

At this time, a sergeant ran over: "My lord, look, here are the transshipments of all the quilts, a total of 37 pieces."

Zeng Tai nodded. Suddenly, he raised his head and asked, "What do you think of Qiu Jing?"

Juncao said: "To be honest, my lord, Mr. Qiu is a rare good official! He is lenient in his administration, considers his subordinates, is upright in his conduct, and upright. At the time of his fortune, he faced the great general Wang Xiaojie directly. Speaking for the people of Chongzhou, the people are very grateful to him!"

Zeng Tai nodded.

……

Besides, Di Renjie stood alone in the middle of the mountain depression, quietly observing the terrain.

Surrounded by Baizhang cliffs, surrounded by a piece of wild grass.

Di Renjie took a deep breath and looked into the distance.

Behind him, Wang Mang ran over: "My lord, I just searched around and found nothing suspicious."

Di Renjie nodded, looked at the surrounding cliffs, and said, "The surrounding cliffs are really high and steep."

Wang Mang nodded: "Yes, it's probably tens of feet high!"

Di Renjie said: "Jing Yang, tell everyone that we are going to go around the mountain and have a look from above."

Wang Mang nodded slightly: "My lord, I'll go right away."

Not long after, Di Renjie, Wang Mang and others slowly climbed up the mountain. Wang Mang followed Di Renjie closely. Wang Mang always paid attention to Di Renjie's feet: "Sir, slow down!"

Di Renjie agreed.

After a long time, Di Renjie, Wang Mang and others finally climbed to the top of the mountain.

Wang Mang took a breath, he was mainly afraid that Di Renjie would fall, and at this moment, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Sir, I finally climbed up."

Di Renjie smiled out of breath: "Jing Yang, don't worry about me. Although I am old, I can still climb this little mountain."

Zhang Huan behind him said: "Sir, you can't see the bottom of the valley here, what are we doing climbing up?"

Wang Mang was startled: "Zhang Huan, what did you say?"

Zhang Huan wondered: "I just said that you can't see the bottom of the valley here. What are we doing climbing up?"

Wang Mang walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. Because the distance was too far, he could only vaguely see the big wooden shed in the mountain depression, but he couldn't see anything else clearly.

He was slightly startled: "Yes, you can't see the bottom of the valley here."

As he said that, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Di Renjie. Di Renjie nodded slightly and said, "Okay, we'll go down later."

Wang Mang smiled and said, "Sir, you should take a break, in case something unexpected happens..."

Di Renjie nodded: "Okay, let's go down later."

At this time, the guide pointed to the distance and whispered, "Sir, Khitan!"

Wang Mang, Di Renjie and others were startled, and looked back. Sure enough, not far away, a Biao Khitan horse team was running along the steep mountain road.

When Di Renjie waved his hand, everyone immediately fell to the ground.

In a blink of an eye, the Khitan cavalry had rushed to the front, the officer in charge muttered a few words, and the sergeant beside him hurriedly answered.

The officer pointed to the front, and everyone rushed away.

Di Renjie raised his head, with a surprised expression on his face: "Strange!"

Wang Mang, who was standing aside, asked, "What's the matter, sir."

Di Renjie said strangely: "How could these Khitan people speak Turkic just now?"

Wang Mang was startled: "Turkic? No way, sir, did you hear it wrong?"

Di Renjie shook his head slowly, thinking deeply.

Suddenly, he raised his head and pointed to the direction where the Khitan cavalry had just come and asked the guide, "What is that direction?"

The guide said: "Sir, you just asked, and a hundred miles to the east is Qingshi Valley, which is the territory of the Khitan people."

Di Renjie said: "Jing Yang, let's go to Qingshi Valley."

"what!"

Wang Mang was taken aback.

……

At the same time, in the second hall of the Inspector's Mansion, Zeng Tai was lying on his desk, and a palm guard walked in quickly and said, "My lord, Zhang Kang, the secret agent of the forbidden camp, is waiting outside the door."

After a while, a capable young man appeared in the second hall.

Zeng Tai smiled and stood up: "You are Zhang Kang, right?"

Zhang Kang said: "Young Zhang Kang sees the adults."

Zeng Tai waved his hand: "Don't be too polite, get up and answer!"

Zhang Kang stood up after thanking him.

Zeng Tai asked: "Zhang Kang, do you still remember the spy who sneaked into the city from the west?"

Zhang Kang said: "Yes, I remember the humble staff."

Zeng Tai nodded: "Okay, let's describe the whole process in detail."

Zhang Kang nodded: "Yes!"
