Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 438 Whereabouts of Secret Letter
Di Renjie asked: "What happened on the gravel beach last night?"

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and they pricked up their ears. They also wanted to know the situation of the gravel beach.

Zhang Yi sighed for a long time: "My lord, you know about our wife Xiaoyun, right?"

Di Renjie nodded.

Zhang Yi said: "You may also know that they are the descendants of Huang Guogong, after they were captured, Lord Xuehou wanted to use her as a lure to lure the mastermind behind the scenes.

So he ordered Xiaoyun's maid, Lanxiang, to send a letter to Lanxinting, in which Xiaoyun said in a tone that he had found the letter, and that he would meet at Lanxinting at midnight the next day. "

Di Renjie took a deep breath: "At midnight the next day, you put Xiaoyun in the pavilion as a bait, and led the servants in the mansion to ambush. Xue Qinglin stayed in the mansion first, got rid of Feng Wanchun first, and then rushed Go to the Lanxin Pavilion to meet you."

Zhang Yi was taken aback: "My lord, you also know about this?"

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and there was a hint of smile on the corners of their mouths.

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Zhang Yi let out a long sigh: "Master Hou's wishful thinking was well planned, but something unexpected happened..."

That night, a gust of wind blew on the ground in Lanxin Pavilion, Xiaoyun jumped up recklessly and shouted: "Run, there is an ambush!"

"boom"!
The lantern hanging in the center of the pavilion exploded, and the surrounding area was suddenly pitch black.

Zhang Yi swung his hand down fiercely, the sound of feathered arrows piercing the air came from behind, and Xiao Yun and the dozen or so people in the pavilion fell to the ground one after another.

Zhang Yi waved his hand, and the sound of bowstrings stopped, he turned his head and said to the servant behind him: "Go, go and have a look!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled out his waist knife, and led a dozen or so house slaves to run towards Lan Xinting.

Zhang Yi led the people into the Lanxin Pavilion, and saw the corpses of men in black lying on the ground, and Xiaoyun's corpse lying on the stone table.

He reached out and grabbed Xiaoyun's hair, and suddenly, Xiaoyun's head was raised, his body jumped upside down, and he kicked Zhang Yi's chest hard.

Zhang Yi let out a scream, spurted blood from his mouth, and flew out of the pavilion.

The house slaves were shocked and rushed forward.

It was too late to say, but soon, the dead bodies on the ground jumped up one after another, the cold light flickered, and in an instant, the pavilion was full of blood, and the slaves fell to the ground screaming.

Zhang Yi outside the pavilion struggled to get up, and shouted to the slaves on the gravel beach: "Let the arrows, let the arrows!"

Before the words fell, there was a burst of conch chirping from the surface of the river.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of things resembling water skis flew from the river, and on the skateboards stood an archer in black.

In an instant, the sound of feathered arrows piercing the air was heard, and the servants on the gravel beach fell down one after another screaming.

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he let out a long sigh: "That's the way it is. It's terrible. The villain has never seen such a fast killer. In less than a quarter of an hour, all the 80 to [-] people I brought were killed, and everyone suffered. Seriously injured."

Di Renjie, Wang Mang, and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and said, "It seems that Jing Yang is right, it really is them."

Wang Mang nodded: "In today's Wuping territory, there is no one else except them!"

Zhang Yi wondered, "My lord, who are they?"

Di Renjie waved his hand: "You don't need to know these things, just keep talking!"

Zhang Yi said: "I really didn't expect that these remnants of the Li family would have such great strength! If we had known this, our Marquis probably wouldn't have made such a plan. Hey, I really lost my wife and lost my army. In the end, even he Your own life is at stake!"

Di Renjie nodded: "Zhang Yi, tell me about Xiaoyun's entry into the mansion in detail."

Zhang Yi said: "Yes. My lord, this Xiaoyun married into the Hou's residence two years ago, and he is very much in the favor of our Lord.

But half a year ago, Master Hou suddenly told me that Xiaoyun often drugged his tea, and ordered me to investigate secretly.

The little one was ordered to follow up and found that she often secretly inspected the houses in the mansion while Lord Hou was asleep. "

Di Renjie asked, "What is she looking for?"

Zhang Yi said: "Later, the villain learned from Master Hou that she was looking for a secret letter."

Di Renjie, Wang Mang, and Li Yuanfang looked at each other with a hint of understanding in their eyes.

Wang Mang asked, "What secret letter?"

Zhang Yi said: "According to Lord Hou, it was a letter written by the emperor. I don't know the specific content."

Di Renjie nodded slowly: "About this letter, what else did Xue Qinglin mention?"

Zhang Yi thought for a while and said: "A few days ago, Master Hou said that after the case of Huang Guogong ten years ago, the emperor ordered him to burn the letter, but he kept the letter to save his life in the future. "

Di Renjie asked: "Help? You said he left the secret letter to save his life?"

Zhang Yi nodded and said, "Master Hou is like this."

Di Renjie asked, "What else did he say?"

Zhang Yi said: "He said that two years ago, when he was drunk in Zhoucheng, he told the story and was secretly reported to the emperor. He seemed very afraid that the letter would fall into the hands of the emperor. According to him, as long as the emperor saw the letter Believe me, he is committing the crime of ransacking his home and exterminating his family."

Di Renjie took a deep breath and looked at Wang Mang.

Wang Mang asked, "Where is that letter now?"

Zhang Yi said: "The villain doesn't know."

Wang Mang looked at him and sneered: "Zhang Yi, I advise you to be honest, don't toast or eat fine wine!"

Zhang Yi stammered and said: "Little, I really don't know."

Wang Mang said coldly: "Okay then, let me remind you, what did Jinniang take with her when she escaped from the Hou's mansion?"

Zhang Yi couldn't help being startled, hesitated for a moment, and sighed: "Forget it, since the adults know everything, the little ones don't have to hide it. That's right, it was indeed Jin Niang who stole the letter."

Wang Mang glanced at Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang, and said, "It's true!"

Zhang Yi was stunned: "It turns out that the lord is deceiving me."

Before Wang Mang could speak in the future, Di Renjie said coldly: "I still say the same thing, you can still get rid of everything you know, otherwise, when the power of heaven comes, you will die!"

Zhang Yi hurriedly said, "Yes, yes."

Di Renjie asked, "How did Jinniang steal that letter?"

Zhang Yi said: "I heard from the housekeeper Du Er that she made Lord Hou drunk with wine, then sneaked into the dark room in the back hall, and took the letter from the dark pavilion."

Di Renjie asked, "What happened specifically?"

Zhang Yi smiled wryly: "My lord, although the young one is a master, he doesn't take care of everything. This matter is handled by the butler Du Er, and that's all the villain knows."

Di Renjie looked at him for a long time, then nodded and said, "Okay, what else do you know about Jinniang?"

Zhang Yi said: "Jinniang was forced into the mansion by Lord Hou from Xiaopu Village half a month ago, and she wanted to take her as a concubine, but she gave up because of the trouble of his wife Xiaoyun.

However, since she entered the mansion, Master Hou has been hanging out with her every day, I really didn't expect that Jinniang would do such a thing. "

Suddenly, Wang Mang seemed to remember something, and asked, "Apart from taking away the letters, did Jin Niang take anything away?"
