Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 411 Longevity?

Wang Mang didn't answer, and a picture flashed in his mind, which was an accidental conversation with Wu Zetian in the palace.

Shangyang Palace.

Wu Zetian looked at Wang Mang who was massaging him behind him, and sighed: "These years, my body is getting worse day by day!"

Wang Mang smiled: "Your Majesty, you are really in the prime of your life, how could you have such an idea?"

Wu Zetian shook his head: "Jing Yang, I didn't expect that even you have learned to flatter horses."

Wang Mang shook his head: "These words are not meant to comfort Your Majesty. With Your Majesty's medicinal diet and this kind of massage technique, it will not be a problem to live to a hundred years old."

Wu Zetian sighed: "I know my body, how could I live so long?"

Wang Mang didn't answer.

Suddenly, Wu Zetian turned his head: "Jing Yang, do you think your teacher has some way to preserve his face and live a long life? Why hasn't his face changed?"

Wang Mang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the anti-aging medicine in my hand has been used by Your Majesty!"

Wu Zetian sighed lightly: "You said, is there really a way of longevity in this world?"

Wang Mang shook his head: "I have never heard of it."

"Forget it! How can there be longevity in this world?"

Wu Zetian shook his head with some disinterest.

……

At the same time, another picture flashed in Wang Mang's mind.

Luoyang, Difu.

Suddenly, Yuan Tiangang picked up the poisoned wine and drank it down. He looked at Wang Mang and said with a smile: "I have thought about many ways to die, but I never thought I would die like this."

"Whether you want this bead or not, you just have to remember that I am not the only one who knows this secret."

Wang Mang raised his head: "Owners of the other three beads?"

Yuan Tiangang nodded: "I only know that one of them is in Jiangzhou, and I don't know about the others."

Having said that, his face slowly turned black.

Wang Mang asked, "Who else is there?"

Yuan Tiangang's weak voice came out: "The hermit sect and the descendants of Xu Fu all have them, but, yes, maybe..."

……

Wang Mang said relaxedly: "Although it is unbelievable, this seems to be the only explanation at present."

Xiao Tao frowned and looked at Wang Mang: "Brother, what are you talking to yourself, what is so incredible?"

Wang Mang raised his head, looked around, and said softly to Xiaotao, "If my prediction is correct, the emperor wants to live forever."

"what!"

Xiao Tao was stunned.

Wang Mang said: "The emperor once asked me if I have any method of longevity. Of course I don't know, but the teacher seems to know something. I'm afraid this is the purpose of Shangguan Waner's visit!"

Xiaotao opened her mouth slightly: "How could such rumors be true?"

Wang Mang sneered: "When a person is dying, she will not let go of any life-saving straw, even if she knows it is fake!"

Xiaotao muttered to herself: "It's too scary!"

Wang Mang's eyes flickered with an inexplicable look. He looked at the night seeping outside the window, and took a deep breath: "I have a vague feeling that Wuping is like a huge black hole, it will suck everyone in." go in!"

……

In the early morning, with the light of dawn, the pier by the river is surrounded by fishermen watching the excitement, and everyone chatters non-stop.

A fishing boat was lying horizontally in the water, and the bow deck was stained with blood.

The yamen servants and policemen of Wuping county government have surrounded the port, and the county magistrate Lin Yongzhong looked at the corpses of Zhang Xiangong and Wu Shun lying on the ground with a serious expression.

Suddenly, there was a rush of horseshoes in the distance, followed by a loud shout from the yamen servant: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The onlookers parted ways to make way.

Lin Yongzhong raised his head and saw Di Renjie, Wang Mang, Wen Kai and Li Yuanfang galloping towards them in the distance, so he hurried forward to meet them.

The four of Di Renjie got off their horses and walked over quickly: "Magistrate Lin, what's going on?"

Lin Yongzhong said: "I received a report from fishermen on the riverside this morning, and found an unowned fishing boat in the river with two dead bodies on board."

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Where's the corpse?"

Wang Mang was taken aback: "He died again?"

Lin Yongzhong pointed at the pier: "It's right there."

Di Renjie, Wang Mang and others walked quickly to the corpse.

Wen Kai suddenly screamed: "Zhang Xiangong, Wu Shun!"

Di Renjie was startled: "It's them?"

Wen Kai nodded: "That's right, sir, these two are Jiangzhou Fa Cao Zhang Xiangong and Yin Cao Wu Shun!"

Wang Mang sighed: "I didn't expect that we were still a step late."

Di Renjie said to Wang Mang: "Jing Yang, now is not the time to sigh, let's see how they died first?"

Wang Mang nodded, and slowly squatted down to examine the corpses carefully: there was a big hole in the back of the heads of the two dead corpses, and the blood had solidified.

Di Renjie's eyes were also attracted by the big hole in the back of his head. He frowned and didn't speak.

Wang Mang raised his head and said, "Sir, just like Huang Wenyue and Ge Bin, he died after being smashed into the back of his head by an iron pillar. It seems that the mysterious black cloak has made another move!"

Di Renjie nodded: "Yeah, I didn't expect them to move so fast!"

Wen Kai didn't notice the "they" that Di Renjie said, and said in a trembling voice: "Sima, Facao, and Yincao under Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion were all killed in Wuping. This, this makes the students explain to the officials!"

Wang Mang's eyes flashed, and he said, "My lord, are you saying that the murderer is the same as the murder at the Pingyang Inn, and that it was not done by one person?"

Di Renjie swallowed: "I'm afraid that's the case. It's not so easy for a person who doesn't know martial arts to kill two people. It's hard to say!"

Wang Mang nodded slightly, looking at the corpses of Zhang and Wu in silence.

Lin Yongzhong, who was standing by the side, sighed, and said: "Lord Inspector, I can't imagine that three such vicious murders happened in succession after only three days since I took office, and the dead are all officials of the state government! The county magistrate of Wuping has done it right."

At this time, Di Renjie stood up, took a deep breath and said, "Magistrate Lin, how is the scene?"

Lin Yongzhong said: "Ah, there are two dead bodies, one is at the bow and the other is at the stern. The canopy of the boat burst, presumably it was crushed by the murderer. Look, the boat is there."

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger, and Di Renjie looked at a slanted fishing boat beside the pier.

Wang Mang also looked in the direction of Lin Yongzhong's finger.

Sure enough, as Lin Yongzhong said, there were obvious bloodstains on the bow and stern of the ship.

Di Renjie said, "Come on, let's take a look on the boat."

With that said, he walked quickly down the pier.

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other and followed closely behind.

Soon, Di Renjie came onto the boat with the support of Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang.

The deck at the bow was stained with blood, and Lin Yongzhong on the pier said: "The dead Wu Shun is lying here!"

Di Renjie, Wang Mang and others nodded and searched around.
