Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 862 Night Party
It was late at night, and it was quiet in front of the post house.

With a soft "squeak", the door slowly opened, Zhong stuck his head out, looked around, and then quickly hid outside the door and ran towards the alley next to the post house.

The moment Zhong's figure disappeared into the night, a figure flew out of the courtyard wall of the post house like lightning, and landed in the middle of the street. It was Ruyan.

She looked around vigilantly, followed Zhong to the alley.

Zhong Shi looked back while running, but there was no one behind her in the pitch black, she stopped her footsteps, panting and said: "Where are you?"

A gloomy figure was projected on the ground, and a hoarse voice sounded: "You are here..."

Zhong looked back and said hastily: "What's the matter, tell me quickly."

The figure said: "You didn't show any flaws, did you?"

Zhong said: "Ruyan found out about my delivery of letters to Qiongta's mansion."

The figure hurriedly said: "What?"

Zhong said: "She just asked and didn't say anything else."

The figure said: "From today onwards, we will no longer communicate. Remember what I said. Otherwise, he will die without a place to bury him."

Zhong shuddered and said: "You promised me that as long as I help you do this, I won't hurt him!"

The figure let out a sinister laugh: "It's all up to you, it's up to you..."

Zhong said: "What does this mean, you, are you going to break your promise?"

There was no answer, and the shadow on the ground disappeared.

Zhong leaned against the wall in pain, sobbing softly.

On a wall not far away, Ruyan quietly looked at Zhong Shi in the distance, she pondered for a moment, then jumped up and disappeared into the night.

Di Renjie was thinking quietly in the room.

There was a low knock on the door.

Di Renjie said, "Come in."

The door opened, Ruyan walked into the room, and closed the door with her hand back.

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Ruyan, why haven't you slept yet?"

Ruyan went straight in and said, "Uncle, I want to tell you about Wu Niang."

Di Renjie asked in surprise, "Oh, what's wrong with Wu Niang?"

Ruyan took a deep breath and said, "In the past few days, Wu Niang's behavior has been very strange.

This evening I saw her enter the residence of a rich family in the neighborhood of Suter Street.

Just now she sneaked out of the post house again, and ran to a side alley to meet a mysterious figure. "

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows and said, "Mysterious person?"

Ruyan nodded, "That's right, that person was hiding in the shadows, I couldn't see his face clearly."

Di Renjie took a deep breath and said, "What did they say?"

Ruyan said: "The night is quieter. I was afraid of being discovered by them. I didn't dare to get too close. I didn't hear the specific content of the conversation. But I can feel that their expressions are very hasty."

Di Renjie nodded slowly and said: "This Wu Niang is a little interesting... You mean that she ran to a big family near Suter Street this evening?"

Ruyan said: "Exactly. I saw it with my own eyes."

Di Renjie murmured: "Near Suter Avenue, Suter Avenue..."

He took a deep breath, and said, "Ruyan, these few days are the critical moment to solve the case, Jing Yang, Yuan Fang, and Zeng Tai and I probably don't have time to be distracted, you have to pay attention to Wu Niang's affairs. "

Ruyan nodded: "Uncle, I understand."

Di Renjie pondered for a moment and said: "Don't disturb her, let's see what she is going to do."

Ruyan nodded seriously.

……

The street in front of the post house was bustling with people, very lively.

In the distance, Zhizheng Zhongjie led several guards through the crowd, rode his horse to the gate of the post house, got off his horse, and walked quickly inside.

Di Renjie, Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai were sitting around the table discussing something when there was a low knock on the door.

Di Renjie raised his head and said, "Please come in."

As soon as the door rang, Zhong Jie walked in.

Di Renjie and the others hurriedly stood up, walked forward and said, "Brother Zhongjie, what news do you have?"

Zhong Jie said with a smile: "Gong Di is really good at predicting things, as expected, Na Lu wants to see you."

A ray of sunlight shone into the room, and Zhong frowned, sitting at the table in a daze.

Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and clenched her hands into fists, as if she had made up her mind, she stood up abruptly and walked to the door, stretched out her hand to open the door, and strode out.

Zhong strode to the door of Di Renjie's room, stopped, took a deep breath and raised his hands...

With a "squeak" the door opened wide, and Di Renjie, Wang Mang, Zhong Jie, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai came out.

When they saw Mrs. Zhong, they were stunned. Di Renjie smiled and said, "Wu Niang, what's the matter?"

Zhong's face was livid, his whole body trembled violently, and his lips trembled.

Di Renjie was surprised and said, "Wu Niang, what's wrong with you?"

Tears overflowed Zhong's eyes, and suddenly, she turned and ran back.

Di Renjie looked at her back, looked at the people around him thoughtfully, and took a deep breath.

Wang Mang glanced at Zhong thoughtfully, but did not speak.

Zhong Jie reminded: "Di Gong, let's go!"

Di Renjie nodded, and they quickly walked towards the gate.

Zhong rushed into the room, closed the door with his hand back, trembling all over.

Suddenly, there was a low knock on the door.

Zhong jumped up like a frightened rabbit and exclaimed, "Who?"

"I, Ruyan."

Zhong opened the door, Ruyan stood in front of the door, Zhong threw herself into Ruyan's arms and cried bitterly.

Ruyan patted her lightly and comforted her: "Wu Niang, what's wrong with you? Don't cry, don't cry..."

Zhong raised her head, sobbing, "I, I'm sorry sir, I'm sorry you, I, I..."

Ruyan helped her up and said, "What happened to you?"

Zhong raised her head, opened her mouth, swallowed it back, wiped the tears from her face, shook her head slowly and said, "No, it's nothing, don't ask."

As she spoke, she gently broke free from Ruyan's embrace, walked into the room, and sat at the table.

Ruyan closed the door with her hand back, walked across to her and sat down.

Zhong wiped away the tears from his face, forced a smile and said, "Ruyan, I'm really fine, you, you go!"

Ruyan said: "Really?"

Zhong Shi sniffled and nodded.

Ruyan stood up and walked outside.

Zhong said: "Hey, you, you..."

Ruyan stopped and turned around and said, "What?"

Zhong swallowed her saliva and said, "You, don't go, can you stay with me?"

Ruyan nodded and sat back opposite her without saying a word.

Zhong looked up at her and said, "Why don't you speak?"

Ruyan smiled: "What are you talking about? Ever since you called and stayed in the posthouse, you've been secretive, and you didn't tell the truth when I asked you. What else do you want me to say?"

Zhong sighed deeply and said, "Ruyan, I'm so confused, I don't have a clue... I promise you, as long as I understand it, I will tell you everything."

Ruyan shook her head and said, "Okay, it's up to you!"

Zhong changed the subject and said, "Sir, you seem to be very busy recently, has the case been solved?"

Ruyan said: "It's almost done. Last night, the king's younger sister, Prince Qiongta, was killed in the stable..."

When Zhong heard the words, she jumped up like an electric shock, and exclaimed, "Qionta is dead!"

Ruyan was also taken aback and said: "What's wrong, you surprised me."

Knowing that she lost her composure, Zhong quickly suppressed the panic in her heart and said, "You mean, Qiongta is dead?"

Ruyan looked at her, and said suspiciously: "Yes, why, do you know her?"

Zhong shook her head hastily, and concealed herself: "Ah, no, I don't know, I don't know..."

Ruyan said: "Then why are you changing your face?"

Zhong said: "Oh, I heard that someone died again, and I was afraid, so..."

Ruyan looked at her, shook her head and said, "I really don't know what's going on in your mind."

Zhong took a deep breath and said, "Her, how did she die?"

Ruyan said: "I was tricked into the stable and killed."

Zhong said nervously: "Who? Was killed by someone, has the murderer been caught?"

Ruyan smiled and said, "It's weird, why are you so concerned about this matter?"

Zhong smiled and said: "No, it's nothing, just asking casually."

Ruyan looked at her and said, "I don't think your question is casual at all. Wu Niang, you must know something, don't you?"

Zhong Shi lowered his head slowly. "Well, if you don't want to say it, I can't help it. I hope you won't regret it."

Zhong raised his head abruptly.

Ruyan said: "The one who killed Qiongta was Princess Nalu."

Zhong said in shock: "Nalu!"

Ruyan nodded: "What?"

Zhong said timidly: "Are you sure?"

Ruyan looked at her and said, "Uncle and the others saw it with their own eyes. Nalu killed Prince Qiongta with a dagger. Why, what do you want to say?"

Zhong swallowed her saliva and said, "Could it be that Mr. and the others misunderstood..."

Ruyan raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

Zhong said: "No, nothing, just, just..."

Ruyan asked, "Just what?"

Mrs. Zhong smiled: "I just think Princess Nalu is so beautiful and has such a noble temperament, how could she kill someone with a knife?"

Ruyan said: "That's right, I thought you knew something inside!"

Zhong Shi was taken aback and raised his head.

See Ruyan looking at her.

Zhong quickly avoided Ruyan's gaze and lowered her head.

Ruyan looked at Zhong's flustered expression, and took a deep breath.
