Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 437 Meet the inner guard again?

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps from behind, and Zhang Huan rushed over: "My lord! Just now, the brothers searched the back garden of the Hou Mansion and found a cellar. When they opened it, there were dozens of maids, women and children hidden in it. There are several wives of Xue Qinglin."

Di Renjie was startled, and raised his head: "Oh?"

Wang Mang was taken aback for a moment, Li Wenzhong didn't tell him about this.

Zhang Huan said: "Those women, after Xue Qinglin left the Hou Mansion last night..."

Di Renjie asked: "Did Xue Qinglin leave the Hou Mansion last night?"

Zhang Huan nodded: "Exactly."

A smile appeared on Di Renjie's face.

Li Yuanfang and Wen Kai said at the same time: "Xue Qinglin is really not in the mansion!"

Wang Mang also hurriedly responded: "My lord, your deduction is right again!"

Di Renjie waved his hand and looked at Zhang Huan: "Zhang Huan, go ahead."

Zhang Huan said: "After he left, a group of men in black came and killed all the house slaves in the mansion, tied up the old and weak women, children, maids and servants, and took them into the cellar."

Di Renjie nodded and said: "It seems that these people are not killing innocent people indiscriminately."

Wen Kai behind said: "My lord, I am really convinced, everything is as my lord said."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Yongzhong, the women and children in the Hou's mansion will be handed over to you."

Lin Yongzhong replied: "Yes."

Seeing what Di Renjie said, Wang Mang also heaved a sigh of relief.

At this time, there was a rush of horseshoes outside the gate of the mansion, and a police officer rushed over: "My lord, my lord!"

Di Renjie hurried forward to meet him: "What's wrong?"

The policeman gasped and said: "Dozens of bodies of slaves of the Pingnan Hou Mansion were found on the Lanxin Pavilion by the river and the nearby gravel beach!"

Di Renjie was taken aback: "Oh?"

Li Yuanfang, Wen Kai, and Lin Yongzhong were stunned.

Di Renjie said: "Let's go to the Lanxin Pavilion!"

……

Soon, Di Renjie, Wang Mang and others rushed to the gravel beach by the river.

Wang Mang pulled out a feathered arrow from the body of the slave of the Hou Mansion, and looked at it carefully.

In the distance, Wen Kai and Lin Yongzhong led Qianniuwei and the county government to search around.

At this time, Li Yuanfang came over, and when he saw the feather arrow in Wang Mang's hand, he was shocked.

Looking at the arrow in his hand, Wang Mang seemed to understand something in his heart.

Di Renjie asked: "Jing Yang, what did you find?"

Wang Mang said softly: "My lord, this arrow is for the military!"

Di Renjie was taken aback: "For use in the military?"

As he spoke, he looked at Li Yuanfang.

Li Yuanfang who was standing aside nodded, picked up the arrow and said: "Jing Yang is right, you see, this arrow is called Double Hook Light Feather Arrow, and there are two iron hooks on the arrow.

This kind of arrow is specially used in the army of the emperor's twelve guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right dragon guards, the left and right eagle guards, the left and right leopard guards, and the left and right habayashi guards.

Qianniuwei also wears this kind of arrows. "

Di Renjie took a breath and said, "Is it possible to scatter among the people?"

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and they shook their heads.

Wang Mang said: "My lord, the arrows used in the army are very demanding, and they are very expensive. They are made by a special arrow bureau, and they are absolutely impossible to be scattered among the people!"

Di Renjie nodded and said: "Looking at the situation on the beach, it must be another masterpiece of Xiaoyun and his gang."

Li Yuanfang whispered: "Could it be that they are members of the army?"

Suddenly, Wang Mang looked at Di Renjie and said in a low voice, "My lord, they may be inner guards!"

"Inside guard!"

Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang were shocked.

Wang Mang said softly: "At first, the emperor wanted the inner guard here to help me find the letter, but later the leader of the inner guard here reported that he would find it soon, so the emperor asked me not to get involved in the matter of the inner guard. .”

Di Renjie frowned deeply.

Li Yuanfang said, "Did they already find that letter?"

Wang Mang shook his head: "I don't know either. Now I finally understand who Xiaoyun is. She should be an inner guard!"

Di Renjie pondered for a long time and said: "It's too early to draw conclusions. Yuan Fang, Jing Yang, order them to clean up the scene, and we will return immediately."

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and a hint of helplessness flashed in their eyes. They knew that Di Renjie was very afraid of the inner guard, and they said in unison: "Yes."

……

The stillness of the night deepened, and Xue Qinglin's body was lying on the bed in the garden of Di Mansion.

Di Renjie and Wang Mang stood in front of the bed, and Di Chun next to him handed over the shoe samples that had been cut from the stern of the boat at the scene of Zhang and Wu's murders. Wang Mang took it and compared it on Xue Qinglin's feet. The size was just right.

Wang Mang nodded slightly to Di Renjie beside him: "My lord, the size is the same!"

Di Renjie nodded, and he picked up the iron awl from beside the corpse bed, and weighed it in his hand. After a long time, he let out a long breath.

At this time, Li Yuanfang walked over quickly: "My lord, in the afternoon we asked a few maids in the Hou's mansion to identify the survivor. His name is Zhang Yi, and he is the personal master of Pingnan Hou Xue Qinglin."

Di Renjie raised his head: "Oh?"

Wang Mang said: "Seeing that this guy looks like a dog-headed master, I didn't expect that he is really a master!"

Li Yuanfang said: "Just now when Li Lang came to report, Zhang Yi has come to his senses."

A smile appeared on Di Renjie's face: "That's great!"

Wang Mang also smiled.

Di Renjie raised his head: "Yuan Fang, Jing Yang, let's go see Zhang Yi, maybe we can get something valuable from him!"

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other and nodded.

……

In the side room, Zhang Yi was lying on the couch, thinking about something with his eyes wide open.

Di Renjie, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang walked in quickly, Zhang Yi struggled to get up.

Li Yuanfang said: "This is the Imperial Envoy."

Zhang Yi hurriedly said: "Thank you, sir, for saving my life!"

Wang Mang glanced at Zhang Yi, but did not speak.

Di Renjie said, "Zhang Yi, are you the master of the Hou Mansion?"

Zhang Yi said, "Exactly."

Di Renjie asked: "You should already know about Xue Qinglin's murder."

Zhang Yi lowered his head and said, "Yes, that General Zhang Huan just told the villain."

Di Renjie nodded: "Pingnan Hou Xue Qinglin has been doing evil, bullying the good, and has a lot of bad deeds. Even if he doesn't die, he may not be able to escape the law. As his master, I'm afraid you have assisted him in those dark and deceitful things. Bar?"

Zhang Yi lowered his head.

Di Renjie said: "Now, since you survived the catastrophe, you should change your mind, start a new life, and learn the hidden evils of the Hou Mansion from the truth. Otherwise, once you punish him, you will die."

Zhang Yi raised his head: "Yes, yes. The villain must be truthful."

Di Renjie said: "Let me ask you, what happened to the bloody case that happened in the Hou Mansion last night?"

Zhang Yi said: "Returning to my lord, the little one was not in the Hou's residence last night, and was rescued by Lord Xue later."

Di Renjie nodded: "At that time you led people to ambush on the gravel beach, right?"

Zhang Yi was surprised: "Ah...exactly."
