Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 690 Pleading?

Wang Mang glanced at Di Renjie, and asked thoughtfully, "My lord, are you suspicious..."

Di Renjie shook his head: "I don't have any doubts, I just feel very strange."

Wang Mang glanced at Di Renjie: "Oh? My lord, are you saying that his appearance was too coincidental?"

Di Renjie smiled: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you, you little cunning!"

Wang Mang rubbed his nose: "My lord, I'm not cunning, but, having said that, it's really a coincidence that he appeared. When Yuan Fang and I met him at the Yingbin Station, we felt that something was wrong with him."

Di Renjie waved his hand: "Okay, Jing Yang, let's not rush to draw conclusions. When the results come out, we will naturally be able to distinguish between loyalty and evil."

Wang Mang nodded, suddenly he glanced at Di Renjie, hesitant to speak.

Di Renjie glanced at Wang Mang, pretending to be surprised and asked: "What, Jing Yang, do you have anything else to do?"

Wang Mang said embarrassedly: "I, I just want to ask if there is anything I can do to help?"

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang with a half-smile and said, "What? You've also learned how to fight with me?"

Wang Mang smiled wryly, and said hesitantly, "I have something, I want to ask you."

Di Renjie said in surprise: "Oh, between you and me, why do you use this begging word? Tell me, what's the matter?"

Wang Mang said with some embarrassment: "Speaking of this... well, in fact, if it wasn't for Xiaoqing, I wouldn't have come."

Di Renjie looked at him and seemed to understand: "You want to tell me about Ge Tianba, right?"

Wang Mang smiled: "My lord, you are still as wise as ever!"

Di Renjie smiled: "Okay, stop flattering, tell me, what do you want from me?"

Wang Mang took a deep breath and said, "My lord, can you please forgive Ge Tianba?"

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang, pondered for a while, then slowly nodded and said: "I understand what you mean. Ke Jingyang, you know, Ge Tianba has a lot of blood and debts, and he has committed a heinous crime. It can be said that death deserves more than justification.

But I know that if there is no Xiaoqing, I may lose you and Yuanfang forever. How can I refuse such a person?
Well, I promise to be lenient to Ge Tianba. "

Wang Mang said happily: "Really?"

Di Renjie nodded and said, "But his life and death don't depend on me."

Wang Mang was stunned for a moment: "Oh, that depends on who?"

Di Renjie said: "He himself.

Wang Mang asked strangely, "My lord, what does this mean?"

Di Renjie said: "It means that if he can surrender to the imperial court and assist us in arresting the culprit behind the scenes, I, Di Renjie, hereby guarantee that I will spare him.

However, if he continues to resist, there will only be a dead end.

Therefore I say that his life and death do not depend on me. "

Wang Mang took a deep breath, nodded and said, "I understand. Sir, I, Yuan Fang and Xiao Qing will rush back to Crouching Tiger Manor tomorrow to persuade Ge Tianba to surrender to the court."

Di Renjie shook his head slowly and said: "No, you will definitely startle the enemy when you go back now, and expose the action plan of the officers and soldiers.

Let me see it this way, five days later, we will go to Crouching Tiger Manor together, and you will meet Ge Tianba and tell him what I mean.

I ordered the officers and soldiers not to attack for the time being, and wait for your results. "

Wang Mang said gratefully: "That's great, my lord, thank you so much! I thought that at that time, when the soldiers were overwhelming, it would be impossible for him not to surrender."

Di Renjie nodded with a smile.

Wang Mang said: "Then, shall I tell Xiao Qing about this?"

Di Renjie said: "Go quickly! Don't say that I, an old man, bother you young people!"

Wang Mang smiled and cupped his hands, muttering: "We are good friends, of course we have to help each other, besides, she saved my life and Yuan Fang's life!"

Muttering, Wang Mang walked out of Di Renjie's room.

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang's back and shook his head helplessly: "It's nice to be young!"

……

Ning Shi was mending clothes in her room when she heard a soft knock on the door.

Ning raised her head and said, "Come in."

Lu Jiying opened the door and walked in: "Xianmei."

Ning put down the needle and thread in her hand, and said with a smile: "Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, why did you think of my little sister today?"

Lu Jiying said with a smile: "I have been busy for days, and my sister Xian has been left out in the cold."

Ning said: "Oh, I heard that Master Di appointed you as the county magistrate of Xuyi?"

Lu Jiying said: "Exactly. I have been very busy since I took office today. Sister Xian, can you recite Master Li's secret letter?"

Ning was stunned and said, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Lu Jiying said: "Master Di wants to punish the corrupt officials in Yangzhou, and he wants us to copy down all the contents of the secret letter involving officials who took bribes."

Ning nodded and said, "Great, I've been looking forward to this day! I've read that secret letter many times and I was able to get it down."

Lu Jiying said happily: "Great! Sister Xian, you say I will write."

Ning nodded.

Lu Jiying sat at the table and laid out the paper, grinding ink and pen.

Ning thought for a while and said, "Cui Liang, 50 taels of silver..."

Lu Jiying quickly wrote down what Ning said.

……

There was a rush of hooves at the end of the street, and five horses came galloping and stopped in front of Tongsu Inn.

The leaders are Yun Gu and Long Feng, followed by Bao Chong, Jiao Gang and Yu Qiang.

The five got off their horses, Yun Gu looked up at the signboard of the inn, nodded to the people beside her and said, "This is it."

Saying that, he took the lead in walking towards the inn.

The shop assistants are busy, wiping the tables, chairs and counters.

Hearing someone coming in, the clerk rushed forward to greet him: "Guest officers, do you want to stay at the hotel?"

Yun Gu said, "Second Brother, I'm asking you for someone."

The man looked at Yun Gu, and suddenly said: "Oh, girl, you, you are back again?"

Yun Gu was stunned: "What came back?"

The man smiled apologetically, "The day before yesterday, didn't you move to He Yuan with Mr. Huai?"

Yun Gu and Long Feng looked at each other and said: "Mr. Huai? I was about to ask you about this Mr. Huai. Does he still live in the shop?"

The clerk looked at Yun Gu wonderingly: "You, don't you all live in He Yuan? Why is Mr. Huai here?"

Listening to the clerk's nonsensical words, Yun Gu faintly felt that something was wrong, and she hurriedly continued: "Ah, Mr. Huai went out this morning and said he was going to come to your shop, so I came to find you. Come here."

The man nodded and said, "Oh, that's the case, but the old man didn't come?"

Yun Gu nodded and said, "Forget it then. Hey, I'm a foreigner. I'm not familiar with the road here. I'm afraid I won't be able to find the way back. Tell me again. How can I get to He Yuan?"

The clerk pointed out: "Exit the gate and go straight down to the east, walk five or six miles, and then go north and you will be there."

Yun Gu said: "Thank you, oh, by the way, little brother, I have a few friends who want to live in the store, you can open some rooms for me."

The man replied loudly: "Good!"
