Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 476 Road Encounters
Chang Shi stammered: "Then, what about the salary?"

Zeng Tai let out a long sigh and said, "The five million taels of payment are all missing!"

Everyone exclaimed again.

"It's too scary, what kind of evil god is so powerful?"

"The 500 million taels of silver is related to the Ningding border. My lord, this kind of thing happened in our Liangzhou border, how can we explain it to the court!"

Zeng Tai waved his hand and said, "Calm down, calm down."

The officials stopped their discussion and looked at Zeng Tai.

Zeng Tai said, "Lord Li."

Chang Shi took a step forward: "Yes."

"First, after the corpses of the Liberation Army arrive, you immediately check the death toll according to the army roster, and then pass it on to the Ministry of War."

"Yes."

"Secondly, from now on, the entire territory of Liangzhou will be completely sealed off, and no traveler or caravan will be allowed to leave the country without a document signed and approved by the state."

"Yes!"

Zeng Tai said again: "Wu Sima."

Sima hurried out: "Yes."

Zeng Tai said, "Order all the Yamen arresters in Liangzhou to go out and inspect all the temples and temples in the territory to see if there are any changes."

"Yes."

Zeng Tai looked at the subordinates at the next station: "Just after the earthquake, the Liberation Army army was completely annihilated by strange incidents. It's really troublesome. I hope you will stick to your duties and don't make any more troubles. "

All the officials bowed in unison: "Please rest assured, Lord Inspector."

Zeng Tai said: "It all depends on you."

He motioned for everyone to retreat, and all the officials dispersed one after another.

Zeng Tai let out a long sigh.

Chang Shi quickly walked in front of him and said softly, "My lord, what is going on? What kind of evil god is so vicious?"

Zeng Tai looked around and said, "Master in black."

Chang Shi was stunned: "Hei, the black-clothed god? Is the black-clothed god worshiped by the people nearby?"

Zeng Tai let out an "ah" and said, "That's right. The local people believe in the black-clothed god very much. Almost every village has a black-clothed temple. The reason why I didn't tell the truth to the officials just now is that I was afraid that my subordinates would be investigating. In the process, he acted recklessly and provoked a civil uprising."

Chang Shi nodded quickly: "My lord is really worried, it's better to be careful about this kind of thing. But what should we do now?"

Zeng Tai said: "Such strange facts are unpredictable. Three thousand troops were overthrown, and millions of salaries disappeared in the desert for no apparent reason.

It seems that I, the governor, have become the leader.Mr. Li, you should make a statement immediately, and report this matter to the imperial court as soon as six hundred miles away.You and I have our own destiny, waiting to be dealt with. "

Chang Shi smiled bitterly and said, "It's the only way up to now."

……

The sun is already westward, and the mountain wind is blowing hard.

Di Renjie and Wang Mang walked in the col with difficulty.

Suddenly, Di Chun and Zhang Huan, who were walking in front, stopped.

Di Renjie from behind asked, "What's the matter, Di Chun?"

Di Chun pointed to a boulder not far away and shouted: "Master, look, there is a man over there!"

Di Renjie was taken aback, and walked two steps closer to the boulder with Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang. Sure enough, there was a bearded man lying in the gap between the ground of the boulder.

The man lay motionless in the crevice of the stone, his face was scorched black, his lips were burst, and there were many bloody cuts on his chest and face.

Di Renjie and Wang Mang looked at each other. Wang Mang squatted down and checked the man's breath. He turned his head and said to Di Renjie, "I still have a pulse. It looks like he was attacked by someone, stabbed in the chest, and he was dying due to hunger, thirst and fatigue."

Di Renjie squatted down and picked up the man's wrist, inspected the wound on his chest, and said to Di Chun, "Di Chun, fetch water."

Di Chun hurriedly handed over the water bag, Di Renjie opened the cork, and poured the clear water in the bag into the man's mouth, sure enough, his eyelids moved slightly.

Di Chun said pleasantly, "He's still alive!"

Wang Mang said: "My lord, this man's qi and blood are extremely weak. If he doesn't rescue him, he may really die."

Di Renjie said: "I think we need to find a town to stay nearby."

At this time, Li Yuanfang said: "Yes, I have wanted to say it a long time ago, walking on foot like this, I can't even walk fifty miles a day, and the setting sun is already westward.

When will we be able to reach Liangzhou if this continues.

It's better to find a town, firstly to treat the lying down, and secondly, to buy some foot power to travel, so that it can be faster. "

Wang Mang nodded.

Di Renjie told Di Chun and the others: "Well, Di Chun, Zhang Huan, you guys have to work hard to take turns carrying this person. As long as you see a nearby village or town, we will stay there immediately."

Di Chun nodded and said: "Master, no problem, just leave it to us."

As he spoke, he pulled the man up with his hands, and Zhang Huan leaned down first and said, "I'll come first."

With that said, he picked up the man.

Di Renjie took a few breaths, stood up with the support of Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang, and the group walked forward.

Just after turning the bend in the mountain, there was a sharp sound in the air, and immediately after that, gravel fell from the cliff.

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang stood in front of Di Renjie.

I saw something flying down in mid-air, and landed at Li Yuanfang's feet with a "bang".

Li Yuanfang looked down and saw that it was a hare that had been shot by a crossbow arrow. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Mang also let out a sigh of relief: "It's a rabbit!"

Di Renjie, who was behind him, smiled and said: "After experiencing the incident in the ancient castle, our hero Li Yuanfang is a bit like a soldier."

Li Yuanfang let out a long sigh and said with a smile: "To be honest, my lord, it can be said that everything is dangerous here, and every step of the way is murderous. Therefore, no matter what the situation is, I dare not relax the string of humble job."

Wang Mang nodded: "Yes, my lord, I guess they are looking for us now, brother Yuanfang and I are just in case!"

Before the words were finished, another gravel fell from the cliff, and then the figure shook, and a person fell in front of him.

Li Yuanfang turned around like lightning, the knife was already in hand.

Wang Mang looked up, and saw that this man was a middle-aged man, with a gray cloth wrapped around his head, dressed as a hunter, and carrying a steel fork.

He bent down and picked up the hare on the ground and pinned it to his waist, stood up straight, and stared at Di Renjie and his party in front of him.

Di Renjie and Wang Mang looked at each other, and said with a smile, "Brother, what is this place?"

Orion sized up Di Renjie, Wang Mang and his party, and said hoarsely, "Yes, it's Hongjiabao."

Di Renjie was overjoyed and said, "Is it a village?"

Orion nodded: "Where are you from?"

Di Renjie paused and said, "Ah, we came from far away."

Orion asked, "What are you doing here?"

Di Renjie smiled: "Pass through here."

Orion nodded, turned and left.

Di Renjie hurriedly took a step forward and said, "Brother, please go slowly."

Orion turned around: "What's wrong?"

Di Renjie said: "Dare to bother my brother to lead the way, and go to Guizhuang to stay overnight."

Orion didn't understand: "What did you say?"

Wang Mang smiled and said, "The old gentleman said, let you lead the way to your village."

Orion was taken aback and said, "Go, what are you doing in our village?"

Di Renjie said, "Find someone to live with."

Orion thought for a while and said, "Come with me!"

Di Renjie, Wang Mang and others looked at each other and followed behind.
