Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 607
Hongtong Cabinet Shop is full of people, and there is an endless stream of merchants coming in and out.

At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, and passers-by looked towards the street.

A team of Qianniuwei came galloping on horseback under the leadership of the army leader Xiao Bao, and arrived at the door of the cabinet workshop in a blink of an eye.

Xiao Bao yelled loudly, and all the guards jumped off their horses and surrounded the cabinet workshop.

The merchants who came in and out were frightened and dodged on both sides.

Xiao Bao jumped off his horse and led two guards into the cabinet.

The shopkeeper and the stewards of the cabinet workshop were in a state of shock and doubt. Seeing Xiao Bao leading the guards into the door, the shopkeeper rushed to meet him, and said with a smile: "Military masters, you are..."

Xiao Bao asked: "Are you the shopkeeper Zhou of Hongtong Cabinet?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Yes, yes. It is the villain."

Xiao Bao raised the golden approval order in his hand and said: "I have received the decree from the deposed envoy, please bring Mr. Li Han's autograph with Master Zhou, and rush to Xingyuan to wait for inquiries!"

The shopkeeper was taken aback: "What, what? My lord dethroned..."

Xiao Bao frowned and said, "Don't bother, quickly bring all your things and follow me!"

The shopkeeper repeatedly replied: "Yes, yes!"

Di Renjie and Zeng Tai sat on the couch in the middle, whispering something.

Xiao Bao walked in quickly and replied, "My lord, shopkeeper Zhou will bring you here."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Please come in."

Xiao Bao turned around and said to the outside: "Come in."

The shopkeeper ran into the door in three steps and two steps, and knelt down on the ground with a "plop": "Little shopkeeper of Hongtong Cabinet, knock on the deposed envoy."

Di Renjie said, "Get up and talk."

The shopkeeper stood up, and when he looked up and saw Di Renjie, who was seated above him, he opened his mouth wide in surprise: "You, you..."

Xiao Bao next to him shouted loudly: "Bold!"

The shopkeeper knelt on the ground again with a "plop", kowtowing again and again: "Damn the small ones, damn the small ones! I don't know if it was the adults who came to the trumpet last time..."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Okay, okay. Shopkeeper Zhou, don't be afraid, get up."

The trembling shopkeeper stood up.

Di Renjie asked, "Have you brought anything?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly took out the bank deposit from his pocket and said, "Bring, bring, bring. This, this is Master Li's signature on the deposit bank when depositing silver in this account."

Xiao Bao reached out to take it and handed it to Di Renjie.

Di Renjie picked up the documents signed by Li Han on the table, and his expression sank immediately: "Master Zhou, are you deceiving me?"

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he fell to his knees again: "The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare!"

Di Renjie stood up and said, "I have Mr. Li Han's autograph in my hand, which is completely inconsistent with the signature on this deposit. What's going on?"

As he spoke, he threw two signatures in front of the shopkeeper: "Look for yourself!"

The shopkeeper looked tremblingly and said: "This, this, small, small, I don't know..."

Di Renjie snorted heavily and said: "When you were in the cabinet, do you still remember what you said? You said that Master Li personally deposited 20 taels of silver into the cabinet. Not only have you met Master Li, but also Know him well, don't you? Huh?"

The shopkeeper stammered: "This, this... yes, yes..."

Di Renjie sneered and said, "Very good, follow me."

With that said, he stood up and walked out the door.

Xiao Bao shouted loudly: "Let's go!"

The shopkeeper trembled all over, and followed Di Renjie out the door.

There are three corpse beds in the flower hall, on which are three corpses wearing purple official robes.

Shopkeeper Zhou walked over quickly following Di Renjie and Zeng Tai, and Di Renjie said, "Look at these three corpses, which one is Master Li?"

Shopkeeper Zhou was taken aback for a moment, and then a relieved expression appeared on his face. He said without looking at them, "None of these three people."

Di Renjie sneered and said, "Oh, you didn't even look at it, so you know that none of these three people are?"

Shopkeeper Zhou was startled, quickly lowered his head and pretended to watch, and then said: "Master Li, there is no Master Li here."

"nonsense!"

Di Renjie shouted loudly: "You damn servant, you have never met Mr. Li, yet you lied to me, saying that Li Han personally deposited the money in the cabinet, and that you are very familiar with Mr. Li. What a sin! people!"

Shopkeeper Zhou fell to his knees with a "plop" and said, "Your Excellency, there is really no Master Li in here!"

Di Renjie sneered and said, "I know, someone once told you that Mr. Li's body had been burned. No matter who asked you to identify the body, you would say no, right?"

Shopkeeper Zhou was taken aback when he heard this, and raised his head subconsciously, but he immediately covered it up and said, "I don't understand what adults mean."

Di Renjie said: "I don't understand? Well, let me tell you. Master Li Han's body was not incinerated at all, but was secretly hidden by his servants. It was another person's body that was burned!"

When these words came out, it was like a thunderclap.

Shopkeeper Zhou shuddered all over, opened his mouth wide in surprise and said, "What, what, another, another person..." Cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

Di Renjie looked at him coldly and said, "To tell you the truth, Lord Li Han's body is among these three corpses! Haven't you seen him before, point it out to me! Otherwise, I will kill you today You will be punished severely for the crime of deceiving an official!"

Xiao Bao on the side shouted sharply: "Stand up, step forward and identify the corpse!"

Shopkeeper Zhou stood up tremblingly, and walked to the corpse bed.

Di Renjie fixed his eyes on him.

I saw shopkeeper Zhou's body shaking more and more violently, and big beads of sweat fell down.

Di Renjie looked at him and sneered, "Why, can't you recognize him?"

Shopkeeper Zhou trembled all over, raised his head and pointed at a dead body and stammered: "I, I... this is..."

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Shopkeeper Zhou trembled all over, and hurriedly pointed to the other one and said, "No, no, that, that is... ah, no..."

Di Renjie snorted and said, "Okay, stop guessing. You've never met Li Han."

Shopkeeper Zhou's face turned pale.

Di Renjie slapped his hands three times, and a servant-like man in a blue shirt came over and said, "My lord."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Tell him, who is Mr. Li Han!"

The servant pointed to the corpse in the middle and said, "This is our master."

Di Renjie looked at Shopkeeper Zhou with eyes like knives and said, "How is it? You haven't told the truth until now!"

All of a sudden, shopkeeper Zhou yelled, knelt on his knees and kowtowed repeatedly: "My lord, the young one deserves to die, the young one deserves to die! The young one has indeed never seen Master Li Han before!"

Di Renjie and Zeng Tai looked at each other.

Di Renjie asked, "Who put the silver in the cabinet?"

Shopkeeper Zhou said with tears in his voice, "No one deposits silver in the cabinet at all."

Di Renjie was taken aback and said, "Oh? How do you say that?"

Shopkeeper Zhou said: "This money is a stranger who brought the owner's personal letter and took two 10 taels in the hands of a merchant named Lin Yang. The letter was changed to Li Han's name."
