Chapter 515

In the governor's mansion, Di Chun and Xiaotao rushed out of the main hall to greet Di Renjie when they heard the news of Di Renjie's return: "Master, you are back!"

Di Renjie nodded and smiled, "How is it, Di Chun, has there been any movement these two days?"

Di Chun said: "Master, what you said before you left was absolutely correct. Sure enough, someone came to assassinate you."

Di Renjie nodded: "How is it?"

Di Chun said: "Master, there are people left by Lord Hou, but they didn't succeed."

Di Renjie nodded, and said to Zeng Tai, "Let's go."

Saying that, the two walked out of the house.

Zeng Tai asked as he walked, "Master, before we left, did you already think that someone would come to assassinate Liao Wenqing?"

Di Renjie said: "Actually, I just have a feeling, an unspeakable uneasiness. Experience and intuition tell me that they will definitely not let Liao Wenqing go."

Zeng Tai said: "The 'they' you said mean the Black Clothes Club?"

Di Renjie nodded: "Of course."

Zeng Tai said: "The students don't understand why the people from the Black Clothes Club came to assassinate Liao Wenqing?
It would make sense if they sent someone to assassinate Fang Zhe before his identity was exposed, because they were afraid that once Liao Wen woke up and told the truth, Fang Zhe's identity as a traitor would be exposed.

But now that Fang Zhe's identity has been revealed, why do they need to take such a risk? "

There was a smile on Di Renjie's face: "Good question, very good. That's why I said that I must find out the truth about the robbery in the desert."

Zeng Tai was stunned: "Oh, teacher, the students don't understand, what does this have to do with the robbery in the desert?"

Di Renjie smiled and said: "When the time comes, you will understand."

Zeng Tai nodded and said: "Oh, by the way, teacher, the recaptured salary has now been placed in the Liangzhou University Campus, and the Liangzhou Wei General Feng Yang led a heavy army to guard it."

Di Renjie said: "Zeng Tai, you immediately pass down the imperial envoy order, ordering the commanders of the Liangzhou Guards to go to the big colonel immediately, and we will distribute the salary."

Zeng Tai said, "Yes."

Di Renjie looked up at the sky, and said with a long breath: "Counting today, Jing Yang has been following the Tianzhu caravan for three full days, what did he find?
What is the relationship between those mysterious things that kill people invisible and the conspiracy of the Black Club?

Is there any internal connection between the desert robbery operation and it?
If these mysteries remain unsolved, the case will not be resolved. "

……

It was almost noon, and the south gate of Liangzhou was bustling with people, people and camel horse caravans coming and going in and out of the city gate. The soldiers of the patrol battalion guarding the city, led by the captain, came and went to check.

Following the clamor of people at the entrance of the city gate, a group of people rushed into the city with carts and burdens, and the captain of the patrol battalion stepped forward and shouted: "Stop, stop!"

All the people stopped in their tracks, and the leader was a young girl about eighteen or nineteen years old. She separated from the crowd and went to the captain and saluted, "Sir."

The captain said, "Which village are you from?"

The little girl replied: "We are from Wangjiabao in the north of the city."

The captain asked, "What are you doing in the city?"

The little girl pointed to the carts and burdens of the villagers, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, what else can we ordinary people do, but bring the fresh mountain goods produced in the village into the city, buy and sell them, and earn a few pennies." .”

The captain looked at the dozens of people behind her, and asked suspiciously: "So many people are going to the city to sell goods?"

The little girl said: "A few days ago Liangzhou was closed to the customs, and the caravans nestled in the city were afraid that the goods would spoil, so no one dared to buy from us.

No, it's finally a switch now, and the whole village is consolidating to bring mountain freight into the city, and find a few buyers to make a profit, so as to supplement the family. "

The captain nodded and said, "That's right."

The little girl smiled apologetically, "Sir, please help me!"

The captain said to the sergeant behind him, "Check it out."

The sergeants stepped forward quickly to check the carts and burdens in the hands of the villagers. Sure enough, they were filled with walnuts, chestnuts and other mountain products.

The sergeant said: "Captain, there is no entrainment."

The captain nodded and said, "Okay, you guys go!"

The little girl said "Thank you", and waved to the villagers behind her, and everyone rushed into the city with carts and loads.

Among the crowd, a villager in ragged clothes and carrying a shoulder pole lightly raised the bamboo hat on his head. This person was Wang Mang.

He looked around and followed the crowd in front of him at a brisk pace.

Ziyun Street is the distribution center for merchants and vendors in Liangzhou City. There are dozens of inns and restaurants along the street. The guys of each house stand on the street and shout loudly to solicit business. Traveling merchants and porters are busy bargaining.

This is the most crowded place in the city.

The little girl in front of the city gate led dozens of villagers from Wangjiabao into the street, and immediately attracted the guys from various inns to chatter around the little girl, belittling others and elevating themselves. There was a lot of noise.

The little girl smiled and waved her hands: "Okay, okay, stop shouting, everyone has business!"

Quiet guys.

The little girl pointed at the villagers in front of her and said, "Lao Liu, you guys go with this little brother."

The selected clerk of the Fortune Inn smiled and greeted repeatedly, and the villager known as the sixth took up the burden and walked into the inn with the clerk.

The little girl stood by the street and ordered casually, and in less than a moment, dozens of people were placed in more than a dozen inns.

The villagers walked into the inns they stayed in under the leadership of the shop assistants.

Beside a restaurant not far away, Wang Mang pretended to rest and watched the little girl quietly.

The little girl whispered something to a short man beside her, then turned around and walked towards the intersection.

The short man looked around and walked into the Fortune Inn.

Wang Mang picked up the pole and followed the little girl not far or near.

Pingyang Street where Cuihong Courtyard is located is only two blocks away from Ziyun Street.

Among the crowd, the little girl crossed the street and walked quickly to the Cuihong Courtyard located in the middle of Pingyang Street.

Not far behind, Wang Mang hid among passers-by and followed closely.

In front of the Cuihong Courtyard, the bustard and two helpers were sitting on a long bench chatting.

The little girl came to the door and coughed lightly.

The old bustard looked up, stood up quickly, and signaled the little girl to go in with her eyes.

The little girl looked back warily, and walked quickly into the gate.

The old bustard waved at the two helpers in front of the door, and followed the little girl in.

The two helpers moved the bench to the middle of the gate, sat down and continued chatting.

Not far away, Wang Mang saw this scene clearly.

He stopped in his tracks, put down the burden in his hands, lifted his clothes to fan the wind, and glanced at the plaque on the gate.

There are three words written on the plaque: Cuihong Courtyard.
