Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 547 Speculation
At the same time, in front of Li Han's house, a doctor from the Ministry of Water, a woman in a black shirt and a cloud hat was knocking on the door knocker, with five or six attendants by her side.

The door opened, and the butler came out, asking suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?"

The woman was Yun Gu, and she said with a smile, "Excuse me, is this the home of Mr. Li Han, the doctor of the Ministry of Water?"

The butler nodded and said, "Exactly."

Yun Gu said: "We are Lord Li Han's friends, we have brought some things for him, and we have to deliver them to Madam face to face."

The butler looked at her strangely, and said, "Are you on the same side as the Zhang Gu who just came?"

Yun Gu was stunned by the question: "What palm guard?"

The steward said: "Just now a Zhang Gu came from Yangzhou and took Madam away."

Yun Gu was taken aback: "Picked up?"

The butler nodded: "Yes."

Yun Gu hurriedly asked, "When did it happen?"

The butler said, "About half an hour ago."

Yun Gu then asked, "Are they riding horses or riding cars?"

The butler said, "Take a carriage, a green shed carriage."

Yun Gu raised her hand and said to the people behind her: "No, something happened! Chase!"

With that said, he turned around and ran out of the square.

……

Yuelai's old store has been surrounded by imperial guards, Zhang Huan and Li Lang are guarding the door.

The No. [-] room in Tianzi was in a mess, with corpses strewn all over the place.

Wang Mang and Di Renjie knelt down to examine the wounds on the corpse.

Wang Mang said: "My lord, the people who killed these slender households were not professional killers."

Di Renjie nodded heavily.

After a long time, he took a deep breath, unable to hide his anger anymore.

Zeng Tai who was on the side asked: "It's really tragic. Teacher, who is it that made such a murderous move?"

Di Renjie snorted coldly and said: "It must be the actions of those villains who intend to prevent the petitioners from appealing. This is murder!"

Zeng Tai was taken aback: "Murder to silence?"

Wang Mang said: "That's right, it must be because they are afraid that the matter will be revealed, so they killed people to silence the story."

Di Renjie nodded.

At this time Li Yuanfang came in: "My lord, there are no corpses of Fang Jiu and his daughter Xiaolan in the store."

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other and said, "It seems that they have already escaped."

Di Renjie nodded, and then asked, "Yuan Fang, where's the shop owner?"

Li Yuanfang said: "The owner of the shop is outside the door now."

Di Renjie said, "Tell him to come in."

Li Yuanfang turned around and nodded, the shop owner quickly walked into the room, with a mournful face, saluted: "My lord."

Wang Mang fixed his eyes on the shop owner, observing his expression.

Di Renjie asked, "Have any of these tenants come to look for them after they moved in?"

The store owner said, "Yes."

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, slightly startled.

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows: "Oh, who is it?"

The store owner stammered, "Small ones, I dare not say anything."

Wang Mang frowned in doubt.

Di Renjie snorted softly: "What are you afraid of, tell me!"

The owner of the store gave a few groans, and said hesitantly, "Yes, they are the servants of five or six Gongmen."

Di Renjie was taken aback, looked at Wang Mang and the others, and said in amazement: "A servant in the palace?"

The shop owner nodded: "They said they were looking for customers from Yangzhou.

I told them that the customer lived in Room No. [-] in Tianzi, the backyard, and they entered the store.

After a while, the guest surnamed Fang escaped with the child in his arms, and the yamen servants chased after him. At that time, I wondered what happened.

Alas, why did this unlucky thing happen to me. "

Di Renjie nodded slightly and remained silent.

At this time, Wang Mang asked, "What kind of official uniforms are those government servants wearing?"

The shop owner said: "It's the same as ordinary public clothes... Oh, yes, there is a little difference. Those public clothes are embroidered with red silk borders."

Wang Mang nodded slightly.

Li Yuanfang said from the side: "These yamen servants must be gangsters pretending to lead us astray."

Zeng Tai nodded and said, "That's right, I think so too."

Di Renjie said furiously: "This group of beasts! How dare they have the heart to do such cruel things to the poor farmers, they are really worse than beasts!"

Wang Mang took a deep breath and didn't speak.

Di Renjie suppressed his anger and checked the room carefully, then walked out of the room slowly.

Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai looked at each other and followed.

Wang Mang looked into the courtyard.

I saw two buckets on the ground, one bucket contained water, and the other bucket fell to the ground.

At this time, Di Renjie looked at the two buckets in front of him, thought for a while and said: "It must be like this: the yamen servant knocked on the door, and the tenants let him in. At this time, Fang Jiu and his daughter Xiaolan Going to the front yard to get water is not inside the house.

After entering the house, the yamen servants showed their vicious looks and brutally killed the slender households in the house.

But at this moment, Fang Jiu came back from fetching water, found the situation in the house, fled with his daughter in shock, but accidentally kicked the bucket over, alarming the yamen servants in the house, and they chased after hearing the sound. "

Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai looked at each other and nodded slowly.

Di Renjie said worriedly: "The situation of Fang Jiu's father and daughter is not good!
Zeng Tai, you immediately take my internal history order to Jingzhao Mansion and order Jingzhaoyin to dispatch all the government officials to search the whole city. You must find Fang Jiu and his daughter! "

Zeng Tai replied: "Yes", turned and left.

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang, and said, "You see, before we leave the capital, those evil thieves have already reached here. This shows that they have planned this matter for a long time."

Wang Mang nodded: "Yeah, I didn't expect them to move so fast!"

Li Yuanfang asked: "My lord, there is one thing I don't know about my humble position."

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other, and when they saw Li Yuanfang's question, there was a flash of understanding in their eyes.

Di Renjie said, "Say it."

Li Yuanfang said: "If it is said that the villain is trying to prevent the tenants from appealing, then they did this murderous act.

So why wait until the complaint is in our hands before acting?
The matter was brought to light when the petition was filed with the government. Why did they kill these slender households?
Wouldn't this be exposing yourself? "

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang: "Jing Yang, tell me."

Wang Mang nodded and said, "Maybe they didn't want to kill people, or at least they didn't want to do anything in Shendu.

I think these gangsters must have come here after hearing that Fang Jiu and others had lodged complaints in various ministries in central Beijing.

They wanted to secretly arrest Fang Jiu and others, and send them back to Yangzhou to serve as District Office.

However, Fang Jiu and others exhausted all their money, slept on the streets, and lived in no fixed place, which made it impossible for the gangsters to find the traces of the tenants.

Today, Fang Jiu invited a driver to sue on Zhuque Street, and finally exposed his hiding place and was discovered by gangsters.

What finally made them decide to kill and silence us was that Qianniuwei found us on the street. When the street revealed our identities and the adults accepted Fang Jiu's complaint, they felt that the danger was imminent, so they killed silence. "

Di Renjie nodded: "Jing Yang is right."

Li Yuanfang said: "Since the complaint has been accepted by the adults, then they will not be able to silence Fang Jiu if they kill Fang Jiu?"

Wang Mang looked at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie said: "According to the "Yonghui Law", if the government wants to file and solve a case, it must have a complaint and the first accuser, both of which are indispensable. If the first accuser dies or cannot come forward for some reason, The case is then dismissed immediately."

Li Yuanfang suddenly realized: "They wanted to kill the person who made the first accusation, so that the case would be dismissed, and that's why they did this!"

Wang Mang also understood.

Di Renjie sighed: "It's all my fault that I didn't think carefully, which caused the tenants to die in vain. Blame me, blame me..."

As he spoke, his eyes became moist.

Wang Mang said: "My lord, how can I blame you for this! When we first got involved in this case, how could we have thought that these gangsters would be so mad."

Li Yuanfang nodded: "Yes, who would have thought that they would be so frantic that they would chase after Shendu."
