Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 472
Suddenly, a row of vague geometric figures on the gray stone wall caught his attention.

Di Renjie walked over quickly and identified it carefully, but because the lights in the room were too dim and the symbols were blurred with age, it was difficult to see what the figure looked like.

Di Renjie turned his head and said to Li Yuanfang: "Yuan Fang, go get a stool."

Li Yuanfang walked quickly to the table, moved a stool beside Di Renjie, Di Renjie raised his legs and stood on it, and said to Wang Mang, "Huo Zhe."

Wang Mang quickly folded the fire and handed it over.

Di Renjie took the stroke and looked at the symbols on the wall, only to see two triangular symbols vaguely engraved on the wall, and there seemed to be several symbols separated by a gray brick.

Di Renjie held up the Huo Zhe and tried his best to see the shapes of those symbols, but Huo Zhe's weak light couldn't reach far.

Just as Di Renjie was about to speak, suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed, and he saw clearly that the symbols were four trapezoids.

Di Renjie put down the torch and picked up the belt in his hand. Sure enough, in the middle of the first row of the belt was embroidered a pattern of four trapezoids enclosing two triangles.

Di Renjie thought for a long time quietly, stretched out his hand and tentatively pressed the two triangle patterns on the wall, but there was no response.

After thinking for a while, he looked at the graphic mark on his belt—four trapezoids enclosing two triangles.

Di Renjie stretched out his hand and pressed the four trapezoidal patterns on the wall, and with a "click", the four trapezoidal patterns burst out of the wall.

Wang Mang below let out a low exclamation.

Di Renjie thought for a while, then reached out to the two triangular patterns again, and pressed lightly. In an instant, the gray bricks on the wall turned and changed, and the two triangular patterns were inserted into the trapezoidal pattern.

The moment the two patterns intersected, there was a crisp "click", and a secret door opened on the wall.

Li Yuanfang exclaimed: "My lord, the secret door!"

Wang Mang was also surprised

Di Renjie jumped off the stool and said, "Lock the door."

Wang Mang hurried to the door and dropped the latch.

Di Renjie said softly, "Go, go in and have a look."

The secret door opened slowly, and Di Renjie, Wang Mang, and Li Yuanfang walked in holding fire.

There are copper oil lamps hanging on the walls on both sides of the dark passage, emitting a faint light.

Di Renjie, Wang Mang, and Li Yuanfang walked forward gropingly, the secret path was not long, all the way down, after about forty or fifty steps, it came to an end.

Wang Mang said, "My lord, it's the end."

Di Renjie looked at the belt in his hand, and saw a polygon embroidered next to the trapezoidal triangle pattern.

He held up the torch and looked for it on the wall. Sure enough, there was a polygonal shape engraved on the upper right side of the wall. Di Renjie reached out and pressed on the polygonal shape. Secret door.

Di Renjie waved at Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang and said, "Let's go."

With a creak, the stone door opened.

Di Renjie, Wang Mang, and Li Yuanfang came out, and the three of them felt their eyes suddenly light up, and a huge underground hall appeared in front of them.

The three of them stopped immediately, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, they stretched out their hands and drew out their steel knives and sharp swords, and stood in front of Di Renjie, one left and one right.

I saw that the center of the underground hall was full of carts loaded with salaries.

Li Yuanfang looked around alertly.

It was very quiet in the hall.

Li Yuanfang said, "No one."

Di Renjie nodded and said in a low voice, "Why are there so many big cars here?"

Li Yuanfang said: "It looks like it was loaded."

Di Renjie looked around and said, "Go, go and have a look."

The two walked quickly to the side of the car. Suddenly, Di Renjie's eyes were attracted by the seal on a large cart. He walked over quickly, and wrote on the seal: Zuo Longwuwei Transit Envoy.

Di Renjie reached out and peeled off the seal on the car and murmured: "Longwuwei Transporter..."

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang also came over: "Long Wuwei?"

Di Renjie handed over the seal.

Li Yuanfang took a look, and said in surprise: "How come there is Long Wuwei's signature here?"

Wang Mang was also taken aback.

Di Renjie walked slowly among the carts, each of which had Long Wuwei's signature on it.

Li Yuanfang beside him said softly: "Could it be that they have something to do with Long Wuwei?"

Di Renjie didn't speak, suddenly he pointed to the front and exclaimed: "Yuan Fang, Jing Yang, look!"

When Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang turned their heads, they saw the corpses of dozens of villagers piled up next to several carts not far away.

Wang Mang walked over quickly, reached out and turned over a corpse.

The facial muscles of the corpse were atrophied and distorted, and the neck was tightly clamped with both hands. It was obvious that it was very painful before death.

Di Renjie looked at the corpse and said, "Judging from his clothes, he should be a farmer from a nearby village. Judging from the death form, he died of poisoning."

Li Yuanfang said: "But, why did these villagers die here?"

Suddenly, Wang Mang looked at the corpse and said, "My lord, the poison in these people is the same as the poison in those people in the temple!"

"what?"

Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang were taken aback.

Li Yuanfang said: "Is it true that Jing Yang is right, Wang Qiang and the others belong to the Black Clothes Club?"

Di Renjie nodded.

Wang Mang looked at the corpse, and then at the driveway: "It is certain that these villagers were captured by Wang Qiang and his gang to act as porters. After the incident, they killed them to silence them."

Li Yuanfang said angrily: "This group of beasts! So many villagers were poisoned at the same time, how did they do it?"

Wang Mang stood up, looked up to the top of the hall, suddenly clapped his hands together and said, "I understand! My lord, brother Yuanfang, do you still remember the small hole under the Sumeru seat in the Wangjiabao temple?"

Li Yuanfang said: "Of course I remember, you said that was the exit for poison gas."

Wang Mang nodded and said: "This underground hall is the same as the Wangjiabao Temple. These villagers must have been poisoned to death! No wonder they all have the same poison. My lord, brother Yuanfang, it seems that this underground hall There are organs hidden in it!"

Li Yuanfang stood up and looked at the hall above him.

Di Renjie walked to the side of the cart and said, "What is the cargo that is so important that Wang Qiang and his gang are willing to kill so many villagers?"

Wang Mang shook the sharp sword in his palm: "My lord, open it and have a look!"

Before the words fell, there was a "click" sound from the underground hall, and a secret door opened on the left gable, and several black-clothed guardians walked in quickly.

Di Renjie was shocked and pulled Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang, and the three crouched behind a large cart.

A few black-clothed guardians whispered something and walked past the cart, but they were all yellow-haired and blue-eyed Westerners.

Di Renjie, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, Di Renjie pouted at Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang, and the three quickly retreated into the secret passage leading to the room under the cover of the cart, Di Renjie closed the secret door.

Di Renjie, Wang Mang, and Li Yuanfang walked into the room from the secret passage. Di Renjie closed the secret door with his hand back, and said softly: "This castle is densely covered with secret passages, and all of them use Pythagorean figures as secret signs. It seems that Mei Xiang The belt left behind is the access map of the secret door mechanism."

Li Yuanfang was still thinking about the appearance of the black-clothed men he saw just now: "My lord, did you see it just now? Those people are all yellow-haired and blue-eyed, with white faces and red eyebrows, exactly the same as those black-clothed guardians in Wangjiabao. It seems respectful." Yang's judgment is correct!"
