Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 461 Questions
Suddenly, Di Renjie said: "Jing Yang, think carefully about the few words that little girl said before she died."

Wang Mang repeated those few words: "Mountain of Darkness, Great Earthquake, Salary."

Suddenly, Wang Mang said: "The mountain of darkness must refer to the Black Clothes Society, and I already know about the earthquake. I just got the news today that Ganliang seems to be going to have a earthquake. But what does the salary mean?"

Li Yuanfang pondered for a moment and said: "There are several Tongshun theories. The first one is that the Black Clothes Club living in the 'Dark Mountain' caused the earthquake."

Di Renjie said: "This is a smooth statement, but it is impossible and unreasonable. Earthquakes are a natural number and must not be caused by anyone."

Li Yuanfang asked back: "But if it is not human beings who caused the earthquake, but gods, the so-called black-clothed gods in the legend, can this argument hold water?"

Wang Mang shook his head and said, "Earthquakes are the way of heaven, just like wind, rain, thunder, lightning, floods and whirlwinds. Therefore, it can be concluded that this earthquake must be a natural number."

Li Yuanfang said: "Okay, then the first theory has been ruled out."

Di Renjie encouraged Li Yuanfang to continue with his eyes: "Well, you continue."

Li Yuanfang said: "The second smooth way of saying is that the Black Clothes Club living in the 'Dark Mountain' knew about the earthquake."

Wang Mang nodded: "Well, this is a relatively reasonable statement. However, it cannot be connected with the salary mentioned below by the little girl. What else?"

Li Yuanfang said: "The third type: the gods in black who live in the 'Mountain of Darkness' took advantage of this earthquake."

Di Renjie raised his head: "This is the most reasonable and paves the way for the salary mentioned later.

According to what she said before she died, the mountain of darkness, the earthquake, and the salary, let us assume that these three words are internally related, then we have just mentioned that the black-clothed god used the earthquake..."

As he said that, Di Renjie suddenly raised his head: "Payment..."

Li Yuanfang said: "My lord, the salary is the military funds distributed by the imperial court to the guards. Could it be related to the black-clothed god and the earthquake?"

Di Renjie looked up and thought for a long time without answering. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said to Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang: "Although it is incredible, it is the most logical and reasonable."

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

Di Renjie said: "The Black Clothes Society took advantage of the earthquake to rob the court's salary."

Li Yuanfang burst into laughter: "Master, this, this is too far-fetched, right?"

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows: "Oh, why? Can you think of a sentence that is more fluent and coherent than this sentence?"

Wang Mang frowned and did not speak.

Li Yuanfang thought about it, and felt that what the adults said was reasonable, but it seemed that there was still a button that hadn't been undone.

He pondered for a moment, then said: "Tong Shun is Tong Shun, but there is no necessary connection, and it is not reasonable.

The black-clothed god is a god in the legends of Liangzhou locals. Judging from what we have encountered in Wangjiabao, even if there are criminals who use the name of the black-clothed god to commit crimes, how could these people have the idea of ​​​​making money from the court? ?

First of all, the imperial court used to have a customary system for paying the guards. The most elite guards among the twelve guards were dispatched.

Therefore, from the humble point of view, there is no civilian armed force that has the strength and courage to attack them, let alone steal the salary from the armored guards.

Besides, according to the order, the date of escort and the route taken are absolutely confidential. How could these gangsters know? "

Wang Mang nodded: "Go ahead."

Li Yuanfang continued: "Take a ten thousand step back, if this happened, what the little girl said before she died may be a few other words, not the earthquake and the payment.

It is unnatural and unbelievable to use the earthquake to rob wages.

My lord, Jing Yang, I think that although the few words that the little girl said before her death must have deep meaning, the meaning may not be what we imagined. "

Di Renjie smiled noncommittally and said, "I hope I'm worrying unfoundedly and speculating wildly."

Wang Mang frowned: "Could they use conspiracies and tricks, like poisoning?"

Li Yuanfang shook his head: "It's impossible. All the military equipment will be inspected by special personnel. It's impossible at this time."

Wang Mang nodded. After thinking about it, it is indeed impossible. It is not easy to poison the food and grass in the army, and they will definitely find a special person to test it.

Thinking of this, Wang Mang nodded slightly: "Okay, sir, you encountered this kind of thing when you first came here. It's so late today, you should take a rest first!"

Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and they nodded.

……

Although there are many people in Liangzhou City, the city is very compact. Apart from the surrounding city walls, the largest building is the Governor's Mansion.

A few days ago, the imperial court issued an order saying that there would be an earthquake in Gannan Road, ordering the governments of all prefectures and counties to pay attention to protecting the people and finances.

Therefore, the governor ordered people to build a large shed with cloth in front of the mansion to act as a temporary yamen.

The shed was even more busy.

Liangzhou Governor Shi, Sima and other officials at all levels came in and out to report the situation of the earthquake prevention to the governor, and the governor hand-written the word of mouth, very busy.

This governor is none other than Lord Zeng Taizeng.

Finally, the last official who reported to work left the tent.

Zeng Tai heaved a sigh of relief, put down the pen in his hand, moved his numb wrist, and smiled at Chang Shi beside him: "God is showing his power, there is going to be a big earthquake, but we parents and officials are too busy."

Chang Shi bowed his hands and said: "Your Excellency is really diligent. Since you received the order from the cabinet yesterday, you haven't closed your eyes all day."

Zeng Tai stood up, moved his body, and stretched his waist: "It should. When the earthquake occurs, but if the people are safe, I, Zeng Tai, can sleep soundly."

At this time, a small official walked in quickly, and handed over the letter in his hand: "Master Zeng, the Hexi station has sent you a letter from your family!"

Zeng Tai was stunned: "My letter from home?"

The little official looked at Zeng Tai and nodded in agreement.

Zeng Tai hurriedly received the letter and opened it, read it quickly, and suddenly, he patted the letter paper and shouted overjoyed: "Oh, that's great!"

The long history and the messenger officer next to him were taken aback.

Chang Shi asked: "My lord, why are you so excited?"

Zeng Tai said: "My mentor Di Ge is going to Liangzhou soon!"

When Chang Shi heard the word "Old Di Ge", he asked in surprise, "Old Di Ge? But the Prime Minister Di Renjie who has become an official?"

Zeng Tai replied, "Exactly."

Chang Shi was startled and said, "Why, is your lord a disciple of Elder Di Ge?"

Zeng Tai nodded triumphantly: "Yes."
