Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 651 Old Things
Wang Mang nodded: "Yes, I gave you this sword back then, Mizuki, can you still remember?"

Li Yuanfang reached out to take the sword, and pulled it out lightly. The blade was radiant with cold light, and the air was very cold.

He took a deep breath, without speaking, and put the sword back into its sheath.

Di Renjie pointed to the clothes on the desk and said: "These are your personal clothes. When in Yangzhou, Lu Jiying and Ning Shi told me that you and Jing Yang were killed, but I still refused to believe it. Therefore, these clothes I I kept it with me all the time, and now I can finally return it to its original owner.”

Li Yuanfang nodded slowly and said, "Mr. Huai..."

Di Renjie and Wang Mang looked at each other, Di Renjie nodded slightly to Wang Mang, Wang Mang said, "This gentleman's surname is not Huai."

Li Yuanfang was stunned.

At this time, Di Renjie smiled and explained: "The reason why I invited you and Jingyang here is because your past involved many secrets, and these cannot be known by others. Do you understand?"

Li Yuanfang looked at Wang Mang, then at Di Renjie, nodded and said, "I won't tell anyone, including Xiaoqing."

Di Renjie smiled and said: "You still have an accurate judgment. My real name is Di Renjie. I am the prime minister of the court and the minister sent by the emperor to investigate the case in the south of the Yangtze River."

Li Yuanfang asked in surprise: "Oh, are you sent by the emperor?"

Di Renjie nodded and said: "Yes. Before this trip, the emperor appointed three deputy second for me, one is Jianghuai Inspector Zeng Tai, and the other is Jianghuai Inspector Wang Jingyang."

As he spoke, he pointed at Zeng Tai and Wang Mang, and Li Yuanfang looked at Wang Mang in surprise: "You too!"

Wang Mang didn't speak, just nodded.

Di Renjie said: "The last one is you."

Li Yuanfang was stunned: "It's me!"

Wang Mang smiled: "Yes, do you still remember the little book you showed me? You are the third rank Qianniuwei General of the imperial court."

Di Renjie continued: "You have been following me to handle the case for many years. This time, you and Jing Yang were ordered to follow Ning's family away from Luoyang, but something like this happened unexpectedly."

Li Yuanfang said in a trembling voice, "Why can't I remember any of this?"

Wang Mang and Zeng Tai looked at each other, and they sighed helplessly.

Di Renjie looked at Li Yuanfang distressedly, and asked kindly: "Jing Yang has already told me about his experience, can you tell me about yours?"

Li Yuanfang nodded slowly, and said: "Xiaoqing told me that when she found me, I had been floating in the canal for several days, and my whole body was soaked white, and she put me on the fast boat.

When I woke up, I felt like a newborn baby, and I couldn't remember anything from the past, including my name.

The only fragment left in my mind is the raging fire, and your appearance..."

Wang Mang nodded: "Yes, he lost his memory at that time, and I found that I lost all my internal strength..."

Di Renjie listened quietly and nodded.

Li Yuanfang said: "Later, Shuisheng and I followed Xiaoqing back to her house and stayed there."

Wang Mang said, "My lord, you already know the rest of the matter."

Di Renjie nodded slightly.

"Oh?"

Li Yuanfang raised his eyebrows.

Di Renjie said thoughtfully: "Shuisheng, do you know that Xiaoqing is Ge Tianba's daughter?"

Li Yuanfang nodded.

Wang Mang said: "Shuisheng, I haven't recovered my internal strength yet, we need your help."

Li Yuanfang shook his head: "I will not hurt Xiao Qing."

Wang Mang shook his head: "We are dealing with Ge Tianba, not Xiaoqing."

"He is Xiaoqing's father!"

Li Yuanfang said coldly.

Wang Mang looked at Di Renjie: "My lord!"

Di Renjie said: "Mizuki, don't you want to know why we deal with him?"

Li Yuanfang asked back: "Will you tell me?"

Di Renjie pondered for a moment and said, "If it's about Mizuki, I might hide something, but about Yuan Fang, I won't.

It's up to you to choose, should I treat you as Mizuki, or as General Qianniuwei, my guard captain Li Yuanfang? "

Li Yuanfang took a deep breath, pondered for a long time, and sighed: "I know you are dealing with Ge Tianba, but for Xiaoqing, I can't do this. Now I would rather be Mizuki."

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

Di Renjie looked at his back and said loudly: "Is it true that Mizuki has no sense of justice?"

Li Yuanfang stopped.

Di Renjie stood up and said slowly: "Nowadays, private salt is rampant in the Huaibei area, and the salt is sold for five hundred yuan a bucket. The common people can't afford to buy salt, and they live on light food. If you are far away, go to Xuyi to have a look." , Which one has salty vegetables on the dining table!
For the poor people, what can they do?
Can only endure!

I saw with my own eyes that the people in Xuyi City were all swollen and sallow, not to mention working to support their families, they even had to support the wall when they walked!

How painful this kind of life is, can you understand? "

Li Yuanfang turned around slowly.

Wang Mang and Zeng Tai looked at each other, a gleam of light flashed in their eyes.

Di Renjie continued angrily: "But those crocodiles who manipulate the private salt trade have no sympathy, and frantically raise the price of salt time and time again to make huge profits.

They themselves live a life of extravagance and debauchery!Mizuki, don't you really see these things! "

Li Yuanfang took a deep breath and stared at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie walked up to him slowly and said, "You and I both know that the main source of illegal salt in Huaibei is Crouching Tiger Village!

Those unscrupulous salt merchants bought high-priced salt from Ge Tianba, and then raised the price to sell it to the common people. "

Li Yuanfang sighed and said, "Yes, I know."

Di Renjie asked: "Then, do you know where the private salt of Crouching Tiger Village comes from?"

Li Yuanfang shook his head.

Di Renjie said: "According to our analysis, the private salt sold in Crouching Tiger Village is likely to be the cheap official salt in the Huaibei area of ​​the imperial court.

However, these salts were robbed by gangsters in Hangou, which blocked the canal and impeded water transportation, which led to a salt shortage in Huaibei.

The gangsters took the opportunity to secretly transport the robbed official salt to Crouching Tiger Manor, and Ge Tianba was responsible for reselling it at a high price for huge profits! "

Hearing this, Li Yuanfang was so shocked that she was speechless for a while.

Di Renjie continued, "At present, what we need to find out is whether the private salt sold by Crouching Tiger Village is the official salt that was robbed in Hangou, and Peng Chun is the key person to understand this matter."

Li Yuanfang said in surprise, "You guys already knew about Peng Chun?"

Di Renjie nodded slowly and said, "Exactly."

Li Yuanfang looked at Di Renjie, and said after a long time: "You already regarded me as Li Yuanfang, didn't you?"

Di Renjie nodded deeply and said: "Yes. You are Li Yuanfang, the general of the imperial court! It is your duty to save the people from suffering and justice!"

Li Yuanfang was silent for a long time, then he nodded: "As long as I don't hurt Xiaoqing, I will try my best to help you."

Di Renjie, Wang Mang, and Zeng Tai looked at each other, and there were smiles on their faces.
