Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 477

Hongjiabao is a small village with only dozens of households. It looks smaller than Wangjiabao. At this time, the village is very quiet and there is no sound.

There was a slight sound of footsteps at the entrance of the village, Orion led Di Renjie and Wang Mang into the village, and they followed Orion to a small yard on the hillside.

Orion came to the gate of the courtyard and stretched out his hand to open the gate. Wang Mang, Di Renjie and others walked into the courtyard quickly, and Orion closed the gate.

Wang Mang carefully observed the yard. The yard is very large, but there are few houses. There are only two houses, one on the front and one on the side. The walls are built of stones and the roof is paved with grass.

Walking into the courtyard, Orion said, "Come with me."

As he spoke, he walked quickly into the main room, followed by Di Renjie, Wang Mang and his party.

It is said to be the main room, but it is actually two small rooms, one bright and one dark.

There is a pot and stove outside, and a big kang inside.

Orion walked into the room and said, "All of you can stay in this room."

Di Renjie hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, how can this work, there is no reason for the master to sleep in a different room."

Orion waved his hand and said, "Hey, don't be too polite, you can sleep two in that side room with your stature."

Everyone laughed.

Di Renjie also smiled: "Then bother."

Orion didn't understand again: "Huh?"

Wang Mang on the side smiled and said, "Mr., don't talk about words with him. Brother, Mister is telling you I'm sorry to disturb you."

Orion laughed honestly: "You people in the city just have a lot of words."

Orion stood up, lifted the hare on the ground, and said, "You guys are lucky, I'll cook for you!"

With that said, he walked into the yard, peeled the skin and deboned it for cooking.

Di Renjie said to Wang Mang: "Jing Yang, go see the patient!"

Wang Mang nodded and walked into the room.

Di Renjie said to Di Chun: "Di Chun, you guys go and help her."

Di Chun promised to run out with Zhang Huan and the others, and everyone started working in a hurry.

Li Yuanfang said: "My lord, have you seen it? This village is really poor."

Di Renjie nodded: "Yes. Let's go and see the patient."

Saying that, the two walked quickly into the room.

……

Liangzhou Governor's Mansion.

Zeng Tai was sitting in front of the table writing something, and Chang Shi walked in quickly with the sound of footsteps.

Zeng Tai put down the pen in his hand: "Master Li, what's the matter?"

Chang Shi said: "Master Inspector, there is a strange thing."

Zeng Tai raised his eyebrows: "Oh, what's so strange?"

Chang Shi said: "Today, under the order of the governor, the death toll of the SLM army was counted according to the roster, and it was found that one person was missing."

Zeng Tai was surprised: "One person is missing?"

"Exactly."

"who is it?"

"Deputy General Liao Wenqing!"

……

The patient who was rescued halfway was lying on the kang, breathing very weakly.

Di Renjie took a silver needle from his Qihu acupoint and put it on the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head.

Then, he picked up a silver needle and pierced the Guanyuan point on his abdomen, only to hear a "goo" sound from the patient's abdomen, and his mouth opened.

The curtain was lifted, and Wang Mang walked in with a bowl of soup: "My lord, the medicine is ready!"

Di Renjie nodded, took the bowl from Wang Mang's hand, fed the patient a few spoonfuls, and then raised and lowered the silver needle on the Guanyuan point, and the patient's mouth closed immediately.

Suddenly, Wang Mang's eyes fell on the patient's hand. It was a big, strong hand with a curved and wide scar on the back of the hand.

Di Renjie also noticed Wang Mang's abnormality, and he followed Wang Mang's gaze.

At this time, Wang Mang slowly picked up his hand and looked at it carefully. The appearance of the scar was very hideous, and it looked like a knife wound.

Wang Mang took a deep breath: "My lord, this..."

Di Renjie turned his palm over, only to see that the upper part of the palm and the fingertips were covered with hard calluses.

He picked up the patient's left hand again, which had calluses on the palm and lower muscles of the thumb.

Di Renjie stood up and looked at his legs, then at his heels, and said, "This man is an officer."

Wang Mang was taken aback: "Oh?"

Di Renjie said: "Besides, they are cavalry."

Wang Mang nodded: "My lord, the scar on the back of this man's hand must have been left on the battlefield, and the hard callus on his right hand is caused by holding a knife for many years. You can tell that he is a soldier. But how can you see?" What if he was an officer and a cavalryman?"

Di Renjie said: "Look at the callus on his left hand, which is caused by holding the horse's rein for many years. Look at his two legs, there are a little rings, it must be caused by years of holding the horse.

Also, there are hard calluses on the heels of both feet, which are caused by years of friction from the spurs.

So I judged that he was a cavalryman.

As for the inference of the officer, it is very simple. In the army, cavalry use long spears, only officers can hold a knife, and the hard callus on his right hand is obviously sharpened by holding a knife.

I therefore concluded that he must be an officer. "

Listening to Di Renjie's words, Wang Mang looked at these characteristics carefully, then nodded and said, "It's true."

At this time, Li Yuanfang came in, looked at him and said, "My lord, Jing Yang, this man is really an officer, just an officer, why did we meet him in the mountains, and he was seriously injured?"

Wang Mang said, "This is really strange!"

Li Yuanfang continued: "My lord, the things we have encountered these days are really strange and strange, the temple of Wangjiabao, the weird barren mountain castle, the yellow-haired monster who is the messenger of the black-clothed god, the strange Mrs. Cart signed and sealed by Long Wuwei.

Today, another seriously injured officer was found. One after another, it seemed that there was no connection at first, but since the incident in the castle, I feel vaguely that they all seem to be closely linked to a core incident, but we It is not yet known what this event was. "

"Well, well said."

Di Renjie stood up and patted Li Yuanfang on the shoulder lightly, "Well said, Yuan Fang, this is the essence of reasoning and judging cases, connecting impossible events, removing unreasonable factors, leaving What follows is the truth."

Li Yuanfang nodded in agreement.

Wang Mang was also thoughtful.

Di Renjie turned his head and asked, "Yuan Fang, do you want to know why we walked into the deep mountains of Liangzhou?"

Li Yuanfang raised her head: "To tell you the truth, this is a question I've always wanted to ask."

Wang Mang also looked at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie said: "I can answer you today. As early as when Wuping was idle, I read the Tang newspaper submitted by the Ministry of Officials. It mentioned that there are many temples of adultery and gods in Liangzhou area, and the people are vying to flock to them. I think this is a matter of harming the country.

When the prohibition was strictly enforced, it was difficult to have no chance to visit Liangzhou and learn about the local folk customs.

Therefore, it is impossible to give the emperor a table.

This time, with the permission of the Holy Majesty, I deliberately avoided the main road and detoured into the deep mountains of Liangzhou.

Sure enough, the words in the Tang newspaper are not deceptive. "

Li Yuanfang suddenly realized: "So that's the case. I said why you took a detour to this barren mountain for thousands of miles. It turned out that there was an arrangement."

Wang Mang smiled and said, "My lord, so you see that brother Zeng and I are just incidental!"

Di Renjie smiled: "You can't say that, just treat it as visiting relatives. It's just that what I witnessed along the way was more serious than what was written in the pond newspaper. The so-called evil gods are actually those who use the banner of gods to fish and flesh people and run rampant in the countryside. , A traitor who does evil."

Li Yuanfang slammed the table fiercely and said: "It seems that if we don't strictly control the situation, I'm afraid something big will happen in the future!"

Di Renjie shook his head lightly: "In the future? I think it will be very difficult to manage right now."

Wang Mang was taken aback: "My lord, what is the meaning of this?"

Di Renjie shook his head lightly, but did not speak.
