Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 748 Clues
Di Renjie continued: "However, today, Luo Prefecture Governor Shi and Sima searched all the silver houses in the city, but no one bought a large amount of gold and silver, and there was no trace of the missing silversmiths in the Shafu.

Just having charcoal, but not having a lot of gold and silver and silversmiths can't explain anything..."

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and they nodded: "That's true."

Di Renjie said: "This Shar Khan is a bit interesting. It seems that every case is related to him, but after investigation, it has nothing to do with him..."

He came back to his senses and asked Wang Mang, "Ah, Jing Yang, go on, what else?"

Wang Mang said: "The dwarf walked into the back hall, and there was a man who looked like a butler waiting for him, and the dwarf said, 'Is it done?'

The housekeeper said, 'It's still a few short, but it will be finished before dark.

Grandpa came to see it just now. '

The dwarf said, 'Hurry up, work starts tonight. '"

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows and said, "Start work?"

Wang Mang said, "Yes, that dwarf said so."

Di Renjie murmured: "Complete work, start work..."

At this time, Li Yuanfang asked: "There is no strong evidence from gold, silver and charcoal. My lord, what should we do next?"

Di Renjie said: "At least for now, one thing is certain, the silversmiths are no longer in the city."

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang nodded and said, "Not bad."

"It looks like we're going to focus our investigation on the outside of the city. I don't know what progress Zeng Tai has made."

At this time, there was a rush of horseshoes at the entrance of the alley, and a fast-moving team leader galloped up to the sedan chair, got off the horse, and said loudly: "The arresters of the Luozhou governor's office have something important to report to Di. Old man!"

The butler said, "Wait."

With that said, he turned and ran to the official sedan chair.

Di Renjie asked, "What's wrong?"

"My lord, the police from Luozhou Governor's Mansion have something important to report."

Di Renjie said, "Call."

The butler quickly waved to the policeman, and the policeman quickly ran to the sedan chair and fell on his knees.

Di Renjie said, "There's no need to be too polite. What's the matter?"

The arrester quickly said: "Master Inspector, please go to the North Gate of Luoyang immediately, which is the Hui'an Gate. He asked me to tell the old man that he has found some clues."

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows, exchanged a glance with Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang and said, "Prepare your horse, go to the north gate!"

……

Hui'an Gate is the north gate of Luoyang, the capital of gods, and Mangshan Mountain is just outside the north gate.

Zeng Tai led a group of officials to stand in front of the door, waiting anxiously.

In the distance, several horses came galloping, led by Di Renjie, followed by several guards including Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang.

Zeng Tai rushed forward to meet him, Di Renjie jumped off the horse and said, "Zeng Tai, did someone see the silversmith leaving the city?"

Zeng Tai said: "That's right. This afternoon, I was ordered by my mentor to search the eight gates of Luoyang. The fire chief at night in Hui'an Gate told the students.

Late at night about two months ago, about 30 to [-] people gathered in the empty space in front of the north gate, boarded five carriages, opened the city gate with a ban, and left the city. "

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Tell Huo Zhang to come."

Zeng Tai turned around, beckoned and said, "Wang San..."

Huo Chang walked over quickly, knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed his head.

Di Renjie said, "Get up and talk."

Wang San stood up.

Zeng Taichong said three times to Wang: "Report the details."

Wang San said: "Yes. It was two months ago, probably on September 30rd. In the middle of the night, the young man was on duty at the top of the city, and he vaguely saw about two or thirty people and five or six carriages. Gathered in the empty field in the distance, and then those people got into the carriage, opened the city gate with the ban, and left through the north gate."

Di Renjie said to Wang Mang, Zeng Tai and others: "September [-]rd is the day when the employer tricked the silversmith out of the house."

Zeng Tai said, "Exactly."

Di Renjie asked: "Wang San, is their ban issued by the cabinet?"

Wang San replied: "No. They used the ban issued by the Charity Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang and Zeng Tai, and Wang Mang said, "My lord, from this point of view, that employer must be Tie Le, otherwise how could there be a ban from the Shanjin Bureau."

Di Renjie nodded: "Wang San, where is the empty space you mentioned?"

Wang San pointed to a small empty space surrounded by several trading shops not far away and said, "That's right there."

Di Renjie nodded, and said to Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai, "Let's go and have a look."

As they spoke, several people walked towards the empty field.

There are four or five small shops around the empty field, some selling snacks and some selling groceries.

Wang Mang walked slowly along the shop, his eagle eyes searching the ground and walls...

Suddenly, a curved little black dot jumped into my eyes.

Wang Mang took a step forward and looked intently.

I saw a small black piece stuck in the crack of the wall, and the black piece was bent by Lao, pointing to the north gate.

Wang Mang took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and gently lifted the black piece from the crack in the wall.

At this moment, Di Renjie walked to Wang Mang's side: "Jing Yang, what did you find?"

Wang Mang shook his head slowly, and wiped the black patch on his clothes, revealing a little silvery white under the black patch.

Wang Mang was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly lifted up the skirt of his robe and wiped the black film vigorously.

In a blink of an eye, the small black piece turned into silver, which turned out to be a piece of silver.

At this time, Zeng Tai who was on the side said in surprise: "It's silver!"

Wang Mang handed the silver piece in his hand to Di Renjie, Di Renjie took a look, and Wang Mang looked at each other with a smile on his face, he turned around and said, "Zeng Tai, immediately send the family members of the silversmiths to come and identify them. "

In the second hall of the Governor's Mansion, Le Shi saw the silver piece and shouted in shock: "This is my husband's!"

Di Renjie stood up and said, "Are you sure?"

Leshi's eyes were filled with tears and said: "There is no mistake. On the night before he left, he even took out a ring to give me. I didn't expect..."

Having said that, she sobbed softly.

The family members of the silversmiths in the hall were also touched by the scene and burst into tears.

Di Renjie, Wang Mang, and Zeng Tai looked at each other with compassion in their hearts.

Di Renjie reassured everyone: "Everyone, don't cry. Now it is confirmed that the silversmiths were taken out of the city by their employers. I hereby promise to solve the case as soon as possible and bring your relatives back!"

Under Le's leadership, a group of old and weak women knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, sir!"

Di Renjie stood up and said, "Okay, okay, get up quickly. Zeng Tai, order the Yamen to go on a business trip and send them home."

Zeng Tai agreed, and whispered a few words to Zhang Gu beside him.

Zhang Gu nodded again and again, and shouted to the sufferers: "Please come with me!"

The women followed Zhang Gu out the door.

Wang Mang said: "My lord, now I can be sure that the one who left the north gate must be the missing silversmith."

Di Renjie nodded: "Yes."

At this time, Zeng Tai was slightly relieved and said: "It's great, I finally saw the dawn."

Di Renjie breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Hui'an Gate is the north gate of Luoyang. After leaving the north gate, you will enter Mang Mountain. Lord Inspector, I'm right!"

Zeng Tai smiled and said, "Exactly."

Di Renjie said: "Jing Yang, fetch the map."

Wang Mang hurriedly picked up the map from the table and spread it out.

Di Renjie pointed his finger at the Hui'an Gate, and rowed northward into the Mang Mountain. There were towns and villages along the way, and finally, his finger stopped at the "Wuliu Town" at the end.

Di Renjie raised his head and said: "All the way to the north, there is no other fork in the road, and it leads to the end of the road - Wuliu Town."

Zeng Tai smiled and said: "The meaning of the mentor is that we will go out in low clothes and check all the way..."

Di Renjie nodded and said: "Human life is at stake, there is no need to delay, we will set off early tomorrow morning."

Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai looked at each other and nodded.
