Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 754 The Disappearing Gold and Silver

Di Renjie looked at Lu Zheng: "What do you think, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Zheng scratched his scalp and said, "This is indeed a bit strange, I can't think of it for a humble job."

Zeng Tai said: "Master, could it be that the gatekeepers came to put out the fire and were burned to death in front of Fan Zhufang..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng hurriedly said, "It makes sense."

At this time, Wang Mang slowly shook his head: "You don't need a waist knife to fight the fire.

If the imperial guards were burned to death in front of the door for fighting the fire, shouldn't the waist knife be in the scabbard? "

As he spoke, he picked up a scorched scabbard from the ruins and slowly lifted it up.

Di Renjie nodded: "It's not rude, this matter is very strange!"

The three of Li Yuanfang looked at each other and nodded.

Li Yuanfang looked at Di Renjie and said, "My lord, why do you think so?"

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang: "Jing Yang, tell me."

Wang Mang raised his head and said, "There is only one explanation, that is, there was a battle here before the Shanjin Bureau caught fire..."

Lu Zheng was surprised and said: "Fight, fight... There is a fight in the Shanjin Bureau?"

Di Renjie hissed lightly, and Lu Zheng hurriedly covered his mouth.

Li Yuanfang said: "Jing Yang, you mean there was a battle here?"

Wang Mang nodded, pointed to the knife in Li Wufang's hand and said, "Yuan Fang, look at the steel knife in your hand. There are many small holes on the edge of the knife, which are obviously marks left by the collision of two blades."

Li Yuanfang turned over the steel knife and looked at the blade, Zeng Tai and Lu Zheng also came over.

Sure enough, there were a few small nicks in the blade.

Li Yuanfang nodded and said, "Sure enough."

With that said, everyone looked at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie nodded: "Jing Yang is right, there is indeed a battle here."

Lu Zheng was terrified, and said: "But, but the old man, Shanjin Bureau is located on the side of the imperial city, why, how could there be a battle, this is too unimaginable..."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Let the facts speak for themselves."

While the few people were talking, Wang Mang slowly walked into the ruins of Fan Zhufang.

I saw the forbidden soldiers coming and going to clean up the charred bones on the ground.

Wang Mang walked slowly, searching around with his eagle eyes.

He found some black and red things hidden in the gaps between the scorched earth and the rubble.

Wang Mang squatted down and pushed away the scorched earth and rubble with his hands, exposing the ground.

The ground was stained with black and red spots, some as big as a fist, and some as small as a fingernail.

Wang Mang touched the plaque with two fingers, then rubbed his fingertips lightly a few times, put it on his nose and smelled it.

At this time, Zeng Tai came over and asked softly, "Jing Yang, what is this?"

Wang Mang took a deep breath and said, "Look for yourself."

Zeng Tai and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, squatted down to examine carefully, and suddenly, Li Yuanfang blurted out: "It's blood!"

Zeng Tai said: "That's right! It's the blood that was burnt black by the fire."

Di Renjie nodded: "It seems that Jing Yang's previous judgment was correct, there was indeed a battle here."

At this time, Wang Mang stretched out his hand to push away the surrounding rubble, revealing patches of blood underneath.

Zeng Tai took a breath and said, "How can there be such a large amount of blood here?"

Li Yuanfang said in surprise: "This is by no means an accidental fire. Jing Yang and your lord are right, there was a fierce battle here."

Lu Zheng was dumbfounded and couldn't say a word.

Di Renjie said: "There are some strange things in the ruins. I wonder if you have noticed it?"

The three of Li Yuanfang looked at each other and shook their heads.

Wang Mang said: "Last night, where was the 100 million taels of silver and 10 taels of gold that were sent from the treasury to the Shanjin Bureau?"

After being reminded, Li Yuanfang became enlightened and shouted: "That's right, even if more than 100 million taels of gold and silver were melted into water by the fire, they would flow everywhere. But there is no trace of them in the fire."

Di Renjie said: "Jing Yang, Yuan Fang, you are absolutely right! Where did all this gold and silver go? Did it disappear?"

Zeng Tai said in a trembling voice: "Master, what you mean is that someone raided the Shanjin Bureau, robbed the gold and silver used for making utensils, and then set fire to burn this place to a piece of white ground!"

Lu Zheng cried out in shock: "What..."

Di Renjie took a deep breath and said, "That's not what I meant, it was told to us on the spot."

Zeng Tai swallowed, and nodded slowly.

Lu Zheng said softly: "How is it possible, how is this possible! The Shanjin Bureau is heavily guarded, second only to the treasury, how could someone get in?"

At this time, Wang Mang slowly shook his head and said: "Master Lu, you are wrong, the villain did not enter from the outside, but has been hiding here for a long time!"

Lu Zheng was stunned, took two steps back, and stammered: "Morning, I've been hiding in the Shanjin Bureau for a long time?"

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Exactly."

Lu Zheng glanced at Zeng Tai, and said disapprovingly: "Guo Lao, this is even more impossible. Even the general supervisor Shar Khan has to go through strict inspections when entering the bureau, let alone the gangsters. They are Impossible to get in here."

Di Renjie smiled, but did not speak.

At this time, Zeng Tai said: "Lord Lu, just a few days ago, four fake coachmen disguised themselves and sneaked into the Shanjin Bureau, and stole the carriage for transporting the muck."

Lu Zheng was completely stunned, looked at Di Renjie and said, "Old man, is this true?"

Di Renjie nodded slowly: "Although we still don't know how they sneaked in, it's true."

Lu Zheng was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Di Renjie came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Lord Lu, subjective assumptions can deceive you; old habits can deceive you; even your eyes can deceive you. Therefore, don't believe anything you see or hear."

Lu Zheng nodded repeatedly.

While the few people were talking, Wang Mang glanced at it, and suddenly found that there was a layer of paste on the remaining broken wall beside him.

Wang Mang raised his eyebrows, walked quickly to the ruined wall, and observed carefully.

The paste had been charred black by the fire, and it was impossible to see what it was.

Wang Mang looked down at the ground, and there were two corpses thrown under the broken wall.

Wang Mang was thinking quietly, suddenly, his eyes lit up, he lowered his head to pick up a small tile from the ground, and scraped off the paste.

Di Renjie came over: "Jing Yang, what else did you find?"

Wang Mang shook his head: "My lord, look at this."

As he said that, Wang Mang handed the paste to Di Renjie, and Di Renjie took a look, his eyes lit up suddenly: "Could it be?"

Wang Mang said: "My lord, it seems that we want to go together."

Di Renjie nodded, handed the paste to Zeng Tai, and said, "Zeng Tai, send this to Zuo immediately, and ask them to find out what it is."

Zeng Tai took the tile and left quickly.

Di Renjie turned to Lu Zhengdao again: "Master Lu, order the commander to strictly inspect the bones in the ruins. Especially carefully check whether there are any traces of hard injuries on the bones."

Lu Zheng promised to trot out of Fan Zhufang.
