Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 688 The real murderer behind the scenes
After a while, the three of them walked into the hall wearing black cloaks, stretched out their hands to take off the hoods, walked to the front of the seat, bowed and saluted: "Sovereign."

The suzerain nodded and said, "How is it? What's happened to Di Renjie recently?"

The three shook their heads.

Cui Liang said: "Sovereign, it's very strange. The city of Yangzhou has been unusually quiet recently, without any disturbance."

The suzerain sneered and said, "You guys are very relieved."

The three of Cui Liang were stunned and said, "Sovereign, what's the meaning of this?"

The suzerain said: "Want to know where your deposed envoy is?"

Cui Liang and the others were stunned: "Sect Master, isn't he in Yangzhou?"

The suzerain snorted and said: "He is now in Xuyi County, secretly investigating the whereabouts of private salt!"

When Cui Liang and others heard this, they exclaimed, "What, Di Renjie is in Xuyi?"

The suzerain scolded sharply: "I think he is not far from the truth now, and you are still kept in the dark!"

Cui Liang asked urgently, "Sect Master, what should we do now?"

A gloomy smile appeared on the suzerain's face, and he said, "Di Renjie escaped to Xuyi alone, but a large number of his guards stayed in Yangzhou. Do you think this is a good opportunity?"

Cui Liang was stunned, and asked cautiously: "Good opportunity? The suzerain means..."

The suzerain said fiercely: "Kill Di Renjie in Xuyi, and everything will be peaceful."

Cui Liang couldn't help but exclaimed: "Suzerain, Di Renjie is the prime minister of the court, killing him means declaring war on the court! Suzerain please think twice!"

The suzerain smiled and said, "His private visit in a micro-service is not in compliance with the regulations. Even if he is killed, you can't be blamed."

Cui Liang didn't answer, but his body was shaking slightly.

The suzerain glanced at him and said, "Why, are you scared?"

Cui Liang hurriedly said: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just, it's just..."

The suzerain waved his hand: "Think about the current situation. Di Renjie broke through Beigou Dacang and followed the salt fleet to Xuyi. I don't think it will take long before we will be exposed to him one by one. By then, everyone The end is to be smashed to pieces!"

Cui Liang trembled in fright.

The suzerain said: "So it is necessary to get rid of Di Renjie before he has sufficient evidence, and now is the opportunity.

As long as he dies, everything will be over.

There is no evidence, no confession, he can only live in a cold and damp tomb with this secret.

However, once he has checked it out and made a statement, and attached testimony and evidence, killing him at that time would be worse than committing suicide. "

Cui Liang, Wu Wendeng and Yang Jiuzheng looked at each other.

The suzerain said: "Everyone is sitting in the same boat, don't worry, I will do everything for you. But when this matter is over, you will have to come forward. I will notify you when the time comes."

Cui Liangliang nodded and said: "Sovereign, the surname Di is of great power, you have to be careful!"

The suzerain said: "I have already thought up the whole plan. Tomorrow morning, I will go to Crouching Tiger Manor to investigate the robbery of the salt boat, and the rest of Jiao Gang and others will go with me."

The four stepped forward and said, "Yes!"

The suzerain said: "Yungu, Longfeng and Baochong, the three of you sneaked into Xuyi County, found out where Di Renjie lived and the situation of his subordinates, and reported to me.

Remember, never act rashly! "

The three of them stepped forward and said, "Yes!"

……

There were bursts of gongs on the quiet street, and several yamen servants walked along the street while shouting: "Listen, people, the magistrate has an order: From today, the government will be in the Chen Family Salt, Cao Family Salt and Li Family The Salt Store sells Changping Salt at a price of [-] cents a bucket! People hurry up and buy it!"

The quiet street soon became lively, the doors of every house were wide open, and all the people rushed to the street, surrounded the yamen servants who were ringing the gong, asking questions non-stop.

"Shangxia, is this true? The government is really going to sell Changping salt?"

"Won't you lie to us?!"

The yamen servant said with a smile: "Our servants are like you, we can't even eat salt, who has the strength to lie to you!"

The people laughed.

The yamen servant said: "Tell everyone, we have changed the county magistrate in Xuyi, and this notice is from the new county magistrate. Hurry up and prepare guys to buy salt!"

There was an earth-shattering cheer from the crowd.

A notice from the government was posted at the gate of the city, and the common people were surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.

Someone said: "Folks, this notice says that starting today, we in Xuyi will be able to eat Changping salt!"

The onlookers were discussing.

"is this real?"

"No way, it's been two years, how come there is Changping Salt all of a sudden?"

Looking at the notice, the man said: "Hey, can this official notice be fake? It says that the He family salt store has been closed, and everyone is asked to buy salt from the other three salt stores in the city. The price of salt is [-] cents a bucket!"

The people first had a meal, and then burst into appalling cheers.

"Folks, hurry up and buy salt!"

"Go!"

The crowd dispersed with a "boom", and all the people ran towards their homes.

Not long after, countless people waiting to buy salt gathered in front of the three salt shops.

Qianniu guards stood guard in front of the door of Yanhao, and the guys opened the door and lowered the board, setting out the counter.

Soon, there was a long queue of people buying salt, and the guys at the salt company were very busy.

In the distance, Lu Jiying came over with several yamen servants.Looking at the scene in front of me, I was filled with emotion.

The owner of the Yanhao came forward and saluted: "Master County Magistrate."

Lu Jiying nodded and said, "How is it? Is everything normal?"

The boss said: "It's normal, it's normal. We haven't stopped since the door opened in the morning. My lord, the salt has been cut off for two years, and the people of Xuyi suffer from poor food. What your lord has done today is really a timely help!"

Lu Jiying said with a smile: "Hey, it's not my credit. You should thank the dethroning envoy."

The boss nodded repeatedly.

At night, someone set off firecrackers on the street. In a blink of an eye, the sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the city, and the lifeless Xuyi finally revived.

Di Renjie paced slowly in the hall, thinking quietly.

Wang Mang came in with tea, seeing that Di Renjie was deep in thought, he put the teacup on the table and said softly, "My lord, what are you thinking about?"

Di Renjie raised his head and said, "I'm thinking, what kind of person is the suzerain of this iron hand group? It's not difficult to understand that he called on the forces of the world to use him.

But he was able to bribe all the chief executives in Yangzhou to be his slaves, which is really unbelievable! "

Wang Mang nodded and said, "That's right. The Governor of Yangzhou and the Chief History Officer are both big officials in the frontier. They are in charge of the army and the people, but they are willing to be driven by these Jianghu figures. It's a bit strange."

Di Renjie said: "Through the interrogation of Wenqing today, we have confirmed that Hongtong Guifang has actual control over Crouching Tiger Villa and Ge Tianba, and according to Peng Chun's account, the upper peak of Crouching Tiger Villa is the Tieshou Group.

So, what kind of relationship is there between Hongtong Cabinet Workshop and Tie Shou Tuan? "
