Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 402 Black Cloak

The room in Pingyang Inn was pitch black.

Ge Bin opened the door and walked in, lit the lantern on the table with a bright fire.

A figure slowly rose from the wall in front of him, and Ge Bin was shocked.

The shadow on the wall rose higher and higher, and Ge Bin turned around suddenly with a look of horror on his face.

Behind him, the black cloak slowly raised the iron spine in his palm.

With a scream, Ge Bin fled through the door. With a loud "bang", Ge Bin's head was smashed by an iron pillar, and he fell to the ground and died.

The black cloak stepped over Ge Bin's body with both feet, and walked out the door.

Besides, in the main hall of the Di Mansion, Wang Mang asked Wen Kaidao: "Master Wen, you mean that the back of Huang Wenyue's head was smashed by a heavy object?"

Wen Kai nodded: "Exactly. There is only this scar on his whole body. He probably ran away from the door and was hit on the back of the head with a heavy object by the murderer and died."

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other, and they nodded slightly.

Suddenly, Di Renjie asked, "Any other discoveries?"

Wen Kai shook his head: "Yicheng said that a man in a black cloak came to the station to look for him at night, but he didn't see his face clearly."

Di Renjie said, "What did you find in Huang Wenyue's luggage?"

Wen Kai reached into his bosom, took out a bank note and handed it over: "This is a bank note found in Huang Wenyue's carry-on bag, and it was issued by the largest Zixiaoyun Bank in Jiangzhou City."

Di Renjie reached out to take it, and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Good guy, 50 taels!"

Wen Kai exclaimed: "The number is astonishing!"

Wang Mang snorted coldly: "Such a corrupt official, death is not a pity!"

Di Renjie sighed, and said: "A county magistrate has collected 50 gold during his term of office. This shows how difficult the livelihood of the people in Wuping is!"

Wen Kai nodded and said: "Based on a humble position, this must be the people's fat and people's anointing that Huang Wenyue and Xue Qinglin searched for."

Wang Mang said: "I've heard that the two of them wear a pair of trousers, but I didn't expect..."

Di Renjie snorted: "This corrupt official really deserves his death!"

Wen Kai let out a long sigh: "Xue Qinglin is so powerful, and is backed by the emperor and the big shots in the court. Therefore, it is not surprising that the local officials tend to follow the power, help the tyrants, plunder the people, and fill their own pockets."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Wen Kai, does this Huang Wenyue have any enemies?"

Wen Kai pondered and said: "Huang Wenyue has been the county magistrate of Wuping for ten years, and he worked hand in hand with Xue Qinglin, Marquis of Pingnan, plundered and plundered, and disturbed the place. Considering his humble position, there must be enemies.

However, it is impossible to find clues as to who actually committed the case and for what motive. "

Wang Mang frowned deeply and did not speak.

Di Renjie took a deep breath and slowly walked up.

All eyes were on him.

At this time, Wang Mang raised his head: "Master Wen, to be honest, I just asked my servant to go to Jiangzhou to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come."

"Find me?"

Wen Kai raised his head.

Di Renjie and the others also looked at Wang Mang and Wen Kai.

Wang Mang said: "Actually, I'm going to ask Mr. Wen to transfer Huang Wenyue's official files. I suspect that Huang Wenyue has some unknown relationship with Xue Qinglin."

"relation?"

Di Renjie turned his head.

Wang Mang nodded: "My lord, you know that Xue Qinglin rose to power by framing Huang Guogong's family. As far as I know, Xue Qinglin was not the only one who framed Huang Guogong's family at that time."

Di Renjie asked: "Jing Yang, you mean..."

Wang Mang nodded, but did not speak.

The people present also understood.

Suddenly, Di Renjie stopped and said softly, "Xue Qinglin..."

Wen Kai said: "Old Ge, what did you think of?"

Di Renjie said: "Huang Wenyue has such a close relationship with Xue Qinglin, maybe we can get some clues from Xue Qinglin."

Wen Kai was taken aback: "Oh?"

Di Renjie asked, "Wen Kai, what is this Huang Wenyue's background?"

Wen Kai said: "Oh, in the past few days, the humble official has checked all the official files of Huang Wenyue. This person is not a Jinshi, and there is no record in the official department before he became the magistrate of Wuping County."

Di Renjie raised his head: "Oh? How is this possible?"

Wen Kai said: "He was promoted from a commoner to Wuping county magistrate ten years ago after Huang Guogong Li Ai conspired against him."

Wang Mang's eyes lit up: "Sure enough!"

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows: "The Huang Guogong case? Jing Yang, you are right, no wonder he has such a close relationship with Xue Qinglin."

Wen Kai nodded: "Exactly."

Wang Mang took a deep breath and nodded.

Wen Kai asked: "Master Ge, does this have anything to do with Huang Wenyue's death?"

Di Renjie turned around: "It's hard to say now. But judging from my years of experience in solving cases, this case is not easy."

Wang Mang nodded slightly: "It seems that Xue Qinglin is the only clue left now."

……

At this time, Pingnanhou's mansion was completely silent, only the main hall was still lit.

A black shadow skimmed outside the main hall door, it was Xiaoyun.

Further away, a petite figure quietly looked at Xiaoyun not far away, and it was Jinniang who followed closely along the way.

At this time, Xiaoyun quickly stuck to the window, broke the window paper, and looked into the hall.

In the main hall, Xue Qinglin was sitting on the couch, holding a letter in his hand and reading it intently.

After a while, he raised his head and let out a long sigh.

Xiaoyun's eyes lit up, looking at Xue Qinglin nervously.

Xue Qinglin folded the letter paper, put it in his arms, stood up, blew out the lantern, and walked quickly to the gate.

Xiao Yun, who was standing outside the main hall, jumped up and jumped onto the eaves.

Jinniang also quickly hid herself.

With a sound of "squeak", the main hall door opened, Xue Qinglin poked his head out to look left and right, then walked out quickly, closed the door gently with his hands back, and walked back into the courtyard.

Xiaoyun jumped off the beam and followed Xue Qinglin.

Behind Xiao Yun, Jin Niang frowned, followed her with a flash.

There were no candles in the back hall, and it was pitch black.

Xue Qinglin walked in quickly, and locked the door behind him.

Xiaoyun lightly came to the window and looked inside through the screen.

I saw Xue Qinglin remove the books from the bookshelf, open the door of the dark room and walk in, the door of the dark room closed with a "crack".

A smile appeared on Xiaoyun's face, she jumped up, and after a few ups and downs, she disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

Jin Niang hid in the darkness, frowned slightly, and muttered to herself: "Could it be that she is also for that thing?"

Surprisingly, at this time, her voice was completely different from the usual voice.

At this time, with a "squeak", the door of the back hall opened, and Xue Qinglin stood in front of the door, looking at the direction where Xiaoyun disappeared, with a strange smile on his face.

Jinniang, who was hiding in the darkness, looked at Xue Qinglin's expression, and a trace of doubt flashed across her face.

After a long time, Xue Qinglin walked towards the main hall.

Seeing this scene, Jinniang took a deep breath, and in a flash, she ran to the outside of Pingnanhou's mansion. Soon, she disappeared into the night.
