Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 630 Conspiracy
There are two guards in front of the courtyard.

There was a sound of footsteps in the distance, it turned out that it was Deng Tong who came to the gate, and the two servants saluted, "Master Six."

Deng Tong asked, "Is elder brother there?"

The servant nodded and said, "I'm talking to Director Ge in the room."

Deng Tong walked to the door of the main room and was about to knock when he heard Ge Tianba's low voice from inside the room: "In the afternoon, Pang Si sent someone to send a message that all the robbed salt had been loaded into a truck and transported to Xu Yi."

Deng Tong was taken aback, and hurriedly bent down, pretending to lift his shoes, and listened attentively.

I only heard Ge Biao ask: "Master, where did the poor salt lords get the car?"

Ge Tianba inside said, "Of course I gave it to them."

Deng Tong thought for a moment, stood up and walked out quickly.

The servant in front of the courtyard said, "Master Liu, are you not going in?"

Deng Tong hissed lightly, and said softly: "Brother is busy, I have nothing serious to go back."

Said, quickly walked out the door.

After going out, he didn't go back to his room, but came to the back of the main room, jumped over the courtyard wall, and hid himself under the rear window.

He leaned down, held his breath, and listened carefully to the movement in the room.

I only heard Ge Tianba say: "Peng Chun and others are now being imprisoned in Jiaowang Temple, and Pang Si asks us to deal with it."

Ge Biao said, "Master, what should we do with these people?"

Ge Tianba said: "It was you who sent the letter asking Peng Chun to sail the boat into Feiyunpu. Once this matter is found out by the Iron Shoutuan, the matter will be revealed, so..."

He made a murderous gesture.

Ge Biao was surprised and said: "But master, there are still our boatmen from Crouching Tiger Manor!"

"Non-toxic and not a husband! Ge Biao, tonight you lead someone secretly into Jiaowang Temple to settle this matter."

"Yes."

At this time, outside the back window of the main room, Deng Tong lay prone in front of the window and listened clearly to the conversation between the two just now.

Only Ge Tianba in the room said softly again: "Remember, no one should know about this matter. Go quietly and come back quietly."

Ge Biao said: "Master, don't worry, I will arrange it right away."

Deng Tong didn't hesitate any longer, and jumped out over the wall.

……

In the main room of the east courtyard.

Wang Mang, Xiao Qing and Li Yuanfang sat together.

Xiaoqing said: "Shuisheng, I don't understand, why did Pang Si do such a thing?"

Wang Mang shook his head: "As far as the power of the salt lords is concerned, Pang Si would never dare to openly lead people to fight against Crouching Tiger Village."

Xiaoqing said: "Yes, but you just said that it was Pang Si and the others who did it."

Wang Mang said impatiently, "Why don't you understand?"

Xiaoqing said strangely: "I understand what you said?"

Wang Mang said, "Forget it, let me tell you one more thing.

That day outside Crouching Tiger Village, I sent Pang Si on board, his speech and expression were very strange.

At that time, I asked him what he and Master Ge had said in Crouching Tiger Hall, but he was vague, saying only that the grievances between him and Gejiazhuang had been settled, and his eyes were evasive.

If you ask again, you won't say another word.

Pang Si is a straight-hearted man, he can't tell lies, and I concluded at that time that he must have something hard to tell..."

After finishing speaking, Wang Mang looked at Xiao Qingdao, "Do you understand?"

Li Yuanfang's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he understood something.

Looking at Wang Mang, Xiaoqing suddenly realized, and said in a trembling voice, "You, you mean, it was my father who asked Pang Si to rob the barge?"

At this time, Li Yuanfang, who had been silent for a long time, sighed: "Shuishang didn't say that, I just let you think about it yourself. Is there any other situation besides this situation?"

Wang Mang cast a slight glance at Li Yuanfang. He didn't expect that although he had lost his memory, the judgment he had learned from Di Renjie all the year round was still not weakened.

Hearing Wang Mang's words, Xiao Qing's lips trembled, she shook her head and said, "No, I don't believe it, the salt was given to my father, he, why did he rob his own ship?"

Wang Mang smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, let's speak with facts. Tomorrow morning, we will leave for Jiaowang Temple!"

Li Yuanfang's eyes flickered slightly, he didn't know what to think of, he frowned and didn't speak.

……

In the middle of the night in Xuyi County, there was silence.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse in the sky, and the ground is breezy.

Under the shadow of the moonlit trees in the courtyard of the inn, a familiar figure paced slowly, it was Di Renjie.

He frowned, thinking quietly.

At this time, there was a sound of low footsteps behind him, and two black shadows flashed past.

Di Renjie was taken aback for a moment, and turned around quickly, only to see the two black shadows running towards the upstairs opposite.

Di Renjie didn't care, turned around and continued pacing.

……

A dark cloud drifted past, covering the dim moonlight in the sky.

The earth was suddenly plunged into darkness.

The corner door of the He Zhai opened with a "squeak", and the little maid Chun'er poked her head out to look around.

There was silence all around.

She turned around and waved to the back. Mrs. He, who was wearing a cloak, walked out quickly and waved to Chun'er. Chun'er nodded and closed the corner door.

Mrs. He walked to a big willow tree not far away, and said softly, "Are you there?"

A man walked slowly from behind the tree into the shadow of the willow tree, and the lady threw herself into the man's arms.

The two hugged each other tightly.

Only the man in the shadow whispered: "Let's go. Don't miss the opportunity."

The madam nodded, and the two turned and walked towards the street, disappearing into the dark night in a blink of an eye.

……

The courtyard was quiet, but Di Renjie was still pacing back and forth.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps behind him sounded again.

Di Renjie turned his head subconsciously.

Two more black shadows quickly walked from behind him to the opposite building.

Di Renjie looked at the dark small building opposite, and said softly: "That's weird."

He shook his head slightly, turned and walked to his room.

Just when Di Renjie returned to the room and was about to close the door, another black shadow passed by outside the door, still running towards the small building opposite.

Di Renjie watched the black shadow leave strangely, then slowly closed the door, walked to the couch and meditated.

Di Chun came in with a cup of tea and put the cup on the couch table.

Di Renjie raised his head and said, "Di Chun, go and invite Lord Zeng and County Magistrate Lu here."

Di Chun said, "Yes."

With that said, he turned and walked out the door.

Di Renjie picked up the map from the desk case, spread it out, and looked at it carefully.

After a while, Zeng Tai and Lu Jiying gently pushed the door and walked in, "Master, are you calling us?"

Di Renjie nodded and said, "You have all seen the situation in Xuyi today.

After the ship capsized in Hangou, the water transportation was blocked and the waterway was impassable.Cui Liang, the governor of Yangzhou, also refused to transport salt to the north of Xuyi on the grounds that the road was rough and there were water pirates in Hongze Lake.

Therefore, the official salt could not be transported in, which caused a salt shortage. "

Zeng Tai and Lu Jiying nodded at the same time: "Not bad."

Di Renjie said: "According to the account of Shuigui Maosan and leader Peng Qiu of Beigou Dacang, every time the ship capsized, Xuyi would send a large barge to take away the official salt in stock."

Zeng Tai said, "Yes."

Di Renjie said: "This is strange."

As he spoke, he waved at the two of them and said, "Come and see."
