Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 780 Authentic
Di Renjie said: "They can't even reach the top of the stack, so how are they going to use the straw... Don't you find it strange?"

Zeng Tai looked at Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang, and asked Di Renjie, "Master, I still don't understand, what exactly do you want to say?"

Li Yuanfang said, "Me too."

Suddenly, Wang Mang said: "My lord, do you want to say that if they piled up these haystacks not for the convenience of using straw, then what is it for?"

Zeng Tai and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and suddenly, Li Yuanfang blurted out: "I want to hide some large items that are not easy to carry under the straw!"

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other, and Di Renjie smiled and said, "That's right."

Zeng Tai suddenly realized: "That's right!"

Di Renjie pointed to the haystack and said, "I'm sure there must be something under the haystack!"

Before Di Renjie finished speaking, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang stepped forward and pushed the haystack away.

There was a loud bang, and the five haystacks collapsed, revealing the five uncoated carriages hidden underneath.

After seeing clearly the carriage under the haystack, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai let out a low cry: "It's a carriage!"

Wang Mang murmured, "It really is a carriage!"

Wu Yuanmin also ran over and shouted in surprise: "So many carriages!"

Li Yuanfang hissed and said, "Keep your voice down."

Wu Yuanmin pouted and said, "Why can you all talk, but I can't!"

Li Yuanfang glared at her, Wu Yuanmin shut his mouth angrily.

Zeng Tai stepped forward to have a look, and blurted out, "Five carriages! Sir, it must be them!"

Wang Mang said: "It is exactly the same as the carriage in the back garden of Shar Khan's mansion."

Li Yuanfang nodded.

At this time, Wang Mang walked quickly to the front of the carriage and observed carefully, only to see that the paint color of the carriage was very new and shiny.

Compared with the abandoned village, the new carriage looked very strange.

Suddenly, Di Renjie heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Jing Yang, what you just said was right, this Shangling Village is their lair."

Wang Mang, Zeng Tai and Li Yuanfang nodded.

Di Renjie said: "The newly built stables, the beans in the manger, and the five carriages show that these people often drive carriages between Luoyang and Shangling Village."

Zeng Tai said, "It makes sense."

Li Yuanfang was eager to try: "I think the silversmiths must be hiding here!"

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other, and they nodded: "I think so too!"

Li Yuanfang asked for orders: "Sir, let's search!"

Wang Mang and Zeng Tai looked at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie pondered for a moment, then nodded: "We scattered the search, and Jing Yang and I searched the village. Yuan Fang, Zeng Tai and Xiao Hong followed the footprints on the ground all the way.

Remember, once you find the trace of the other party, you must not startle the enemy, and return here to meet up after two quarters. "

Li Yuanfang said, "Understood."

Di Renjie nodded and Wang Mang walked towards the village.

Li Yuanfang glanced at Wu Yuanmin and said, "Follow me."

Wu Yuanmin nodded.

Wu Yuanmin said softly: "Li Yuanfang, what exactly do you guys do? Are you like the iron-blooded policeman written in the book "Six Doors"? It's so exciting and interesting to follow you!"

Zeng Tai shook his head helplessly.

Li Yuanfang glanced at her and said softly, "Can you say anything else?"

Wu Yuanmin said: "Why, what's wrong with saying this? I like reading "The Legend of the Knight" and "Six Doors" the most since I was a child. The heroes written there are so good..."

Li Yuanfang hissed and said, "From now on, shut your mouth, or I will let you stand where you are."

Wu Yuanmin hurriedly said: "Don't, don't, I won't talk anymore."

Li Yuanfang shook his head helplessly and said, "Keep your eyes on the footprints on the ground."

Wu Yuanmin nodded.

Zeng Tai also followed behind the two.

The three of them walked slowly towards the west end of the village along the footprints.

……

The huge village is empty and lifeless.

At the end of the dirt road, Di Renjie and Wang Mang walked slowly, and Wang Mang looked around vigilantly.

Wang Mang looked up, and there were dead wood scorched by the sky fire, abandoned courtyards and collapsed houses all around.

The two stepped forward on the rubble under their feet, and suddenly, a relatively complete courtyard appeared in front of them.

Di Renjie stopped in his tracks and said, "Come on, let's go to that yard and have a look."

Wang Mang nodded and walked in first.

This is a large courtyard with one entrance, and the courtyard walls and gates are relatively intact.

Wang Mang and Di Renjie walked into the courtyard silently and looked around.

I saw that the east and west wing rooms had collapsed.

There are only three walls left in the main house, barely supporting the dilapidated roof.

Suddenly, Wang Mang pointed at the foot of the east wall: "My lord, look!"

Di Renjie raised his eyes when he heard this.

There was some rubbish piled up at the base of the wall.

After Wang Mang finished speaking, he walked over quickly with Di Renjie. He squatted down and looked carefully. The garbage was mainly charcoal ash and some incompletely burned coke, with a few sheep bones scattered beside it.

Wang Mang randomly picked up a sheep bone and observed it carefully. There were obvious bite marks on the bone.

A smile appeared on Di Renjie's face.

Wang Mang said: "My lord, the charcoal must be used for heating or cooking. The bite marks on the sheep bones show that it was eaten by people."

Di Renjie patted Wang Mang on the shoulder: "Very correct, they are here!"

A gleam of joy appeared on Wang Mang's face.

At this time, he stood up slowly, searching around with eagle-like eyes, and had a panoramic view of everything in the courtyard in an instant.

Finally, his eyes fell on the half of the main room.

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other, he took a deep breath, and strode towards the main room.

Di Renjie followed Wang Mang.

Wang Mang and Di Renjie walked into the room quickly, and saw that the ground was covered with rubble, and there was a stove built under the west wall, and two broken pots were placed on the stove.

Wang Mang walked to the stove and watched carefully.

The stove is made of gray bricks, and there is no trace of burning.

Wang Mang raised his head and looked at the specifications of the main house.

Suddenly, Wang Mang said: "My lord, this stove was built at the back."

Di Renjie raised his head: "Oh? Jingyang, tell me."

Wang Mang pointed to the stove and said, "The wall of the stove is made of gray bricks, and there is no trace of burning around it, which means that this stove has never been used.

If you look at the layout of this room, it is obviously the main room. Think about it, which normal family would place the stove in the main room? "

A smile appeared on Di Renjie's face: "Not bad, not bad. It's exactly what I thought."

Di Renjie nodded slightly. He came to the stove, looked around, reached out to pick up a broken pot, put it aside, and looked under the stove.

It was pitch black below, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Wang Mang hurriedly folded it on fire and handed it over. Di Renjie took it and took a photo. Wang Mang exclaimed in surprise: "It really is authentic!"

Sure enough, a long flight of steps led to the hole under the stove.
