Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 609 News about Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang

Di Renjie pondered: "Hongze Lake?"

Di Chun said: "Exactly. Around evening, the clipper stopped in the Weizidang in the middle of Hongze Lake."

Di Renjie said, "Get a map."

Zeng Tai hurriedly picked up the map from the bookshelf and spread it on the table.

Di Chun pointed to a patch of reeds on the map and said, "Master, this is here."

Di Renjie said in surprise: "This is already Xuyi County."

Zeng Tai raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Di Renjie said, "Come and see..."

Di Renjie traced the map with his fingers, and said while stroking: "The Shanyang section of Hongze Lake to Mingshuidian has already entered Xuyi County, and the reeds that Di Chun said are here have already passed the Shanyang administrative boundary. "

Zeng Tai nodded and said, "That's right, Weizidang is indeed in Xuyi County."

Di Renjie said to Di Chun, "Go ahead."

Di Chun said: "We hid in the reeds not far away to observe, and there was no movement all night. Around dawn the next day, a large ship came from the north."

Di Renjie pointed to the map and said, "Zhengbei, that is, the direction from Xuyi?"

Di Chun looked at the map: "Exactly. Not long after, the big ship docked next to the Beigou fleet. The water ghosts on the fast boat stretched out their hooks to stabilize the big boat, and then set up a bridge between the big boat and the fast fleet. On the springboard, Peng Chun led the water ghosts to transport the salt from the Clippers to the big ship.

"After about an hour, the water ghosts loaded all the official salt on the fast boat onto the big boat, and the big boat started slowly and headed north.

We chased afterward, and at dusk, the big ship sailed into a labyrinth of great harbor branches.

At dawn, we were barely able to keep up, but at night, the big ship turned around in the reed marshes in the harbor branch, and the little ones lost their way. "

Di Renjie asked anxiously, "Did you lose track?"

Di Chun blushed and said, "It's useless if it's small."

Di Renjie patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's hard for you. So, where are Peng Chun and those water ghosts?"

Di Chun asked, "They all boarded the barge too."

Di Renjie nodded slowly, and said softly: "Xuyi..."

He stood up, walked slowly, for a long time, stopped and raised his head and said: "I remember when Mao San was interrogated in Hekou Town, he once confessed that every time they picked up the official salt that fell into the water, they stored it in a big warehouse. In a few days, a large barge will come to Beigou to transport all the official salt in stock.

The boatmen on these large barges all speak with a Huaibei accent.

But this time, the salt fleet of Beigou Dacang transported the official salt to Xuyi, which belongs to the Huaibei area.

Combining the above two points, it can be concluded that the place where the criminals hid the official salt is a certain place in Xuyi! "

Zeng Tai nodded and said, "Not bad."

Di Renjie said: "The next thing we have to do is to raid Beigou Dacang and arrest Lin Yang, use this as a breakthrough, follow the clues, find out the culprit, find the missing official salt, and bring this group of madmen who disrupted the salt government , The rebellious party who harmed the people will be wiped out!"

Zeng Tai said: "Master, when shall we act?"

Di Renjie pondered for a while and said: "It's not too late, it's tonight. Zhang Huan, Li Lang!"

The two agreed and stepped forward.

Di Renjie said: "The two of you, following the order to depose the ambassador, mobilized all the fast boats in Yangzhou Shuiying to go to the pier. After dark, lead the guards to board the boat quietly and get ready to go!"

The two answered loudly, turned around and ran out of the main hall.

Di Chun said again: "Master, there is one more thing I want to tell you."

Di Renjie said, "Oh, what's the matter?"

Di Chun hesitated and said: "It's really hard to say this, maybe I just missed it."

Di Renjie was taken aback and said, "What on earth do you want to say? But it doesn't matter."

Di Chun nodded and said: "Yesterday evening, after the young man followed the big barge into the port, he seemed to see General Li and Wang Houye on a fast boat docked by the shore."

Di Renjie was surprised and delighted, stood up abruptly and said, "Jing Yang? Yuan Fang?"

Di Chun nodded and said, "Exactly."

Zeng Tai on the side hurriedly asked, "Can you see clearly?"

Di Chun said: "At that time, when the sky was getting dark and the two boats crossed each other, he passed by at once, maybe, maybe the little one made a mistake?
But master, you know, the younger one is too familiar with Lord Wang Hou and General Li, that figure, that posture...

If I really got it wrong, it means that these two people are too similar to Wang Houye and General Li! "

Di Renjie hurriedly asked: "What happened next?"

Di Chun said: "The younger one shouted the names of Lord Wang and General Li on the boat, but they didn't seem to hear them. Just like that, the younger one didn't stop the boat for fear of delaying the tracking."

Di Renjie took a deep breath and nodded slowly: "Could it really be Yuan Fang and Jing Yang? But why did they run into Hongze Lake?"

Zeng Tai said: "Master, maybe it was Di Chun's mistake. I don't think there will be such a coincidence in the world. Besides, if those two people are really Yuan Fang and Jing Yang, why didn't they pay attention when Di Chun called them? "

Di Renjie sighed, "Maybe."

……

Crouching Tiger Village.

In the main room of the east courtyard, Wang Mang was sitting cross-legged on the couch, his eyes were tightly closed, his body remained motionless, and he entered meditation.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside.

Wang Mang slowly opened his eyes, and said softly, "Please come in!"

Li Yuanfang walked in, holding a small notebook in his hand, and said, "Shuisheng, come and take a look, is this your thing?"

Wang Mang raised his head and looked at Li Yuanfang suspiciously.

Li Yuanfang handed it to Wang Mang, and Wang Mang took a look, only to see that the official script was written on the small book: "Li Yuanfang, inspector Qianniuwei General, is on the third rank."

The emperor's jade seal is stamped below.

Wang Mang glanced at Li Yuanfang: "You really can't remember?"

Li Yuanfang shook his head, suddenly, he raised his head and said softly: "Could it be that this is my thing... I, my name is Li Yuanfang?"

Wang Mang said, "Where did you get it?"

Li Yuanfang said: "A servant gave it to me just now, saying it was my clothes, and I found them inside."

Wang Mang nodded slightly.

Li Yuanfang stood aside and thought quietly, the scene of the fire once again appeared in front of his eyes, and Di Renjie's face in the fire was once again reflected.

He tried his best to capture the illusion of Di Renjie in his mind, and murmured: "Who is he, who is he..."

Wang Mang said, "You mean that old man?"

Li Yuanfang nodded: "Yes, but I can't remember anything."

Wang Mang patted Li Yuanfang on the shoulder: "Forget it, don't think about it, you will remember it one day."

Li Yuanfang nodded.
