Chapter 58: Accidents after Accidents

"Sect Master, as you expected, sure enough, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly arrived, surrounded and searched the residence of the station! The leader is Di Renjie and ...... Young Lord! In another house, Long Feng said to Yuan Qi with a look of admiration: "How do you know that the official army can find us?" ”

"Hu Yun returned from a serious injury, his spirit was sluggish, he returned all the way, and there will always be some traces left!" Yuan Qi explained: "In fact, it's nothing, ordinary officers and soldiers don't have this kind of insight, but they are afraid of alarming Di Renjie!" Now it seems that my scruples were not wrong, and he really came to find him, and he ...... so quickly."

"Sect Master is wise!"

"Tell them to go down and let the brethren in the city be careful in their activities. Now that it has attracted Di Renjie's attention, there can be no more carelessness! After pondering for a while, Yuan Qi commanded.

"Inform Yuan Hui, I want to see him!" Waving his hand, Yuan Qi said to the elephant monarch on the side.

"Yes!"

……

"Master Di is back home!" With the shouts of the guards, the middle door was wide open, and with two silk handkerchiefs in his arms, Di Renjie was thinking all the way back to the Governor's Mansion.

Subconsciously walking in the garden path of the East Garden, walking slowly, the pit viper is visible, this is a big harvest. However, the emergence of this other killer force, for Di Renjie, the situation in Youzhou, which was somewhat "clear", seems to be complicated again.

What role does the other force play in Youzhou? Assassin? What is the relationship with the rebels who robbed and killed the mission? Why does it cause the pit viper to be a killer?

In fact, Di Renjie was also thinking about these things in his heart...... Thinking about it deeply, I couldn't help but feel a headache, and I clenched my fist and lightly slapped my forehead twice. Of course, Master Di didn't know that he was thinking a little complicated.

Smelling the faint smell of flowers and plants coming from the side of the path, he raised his eyes and found that in the distance, several servants were busy coming and going, listening to Li Yuanfang's command, which was slightly noisy.

Now the people around Di Renjie, Di Chun was ordered to go to Luoyang, and it is estimated that he has not left Hebei yet; Hu Jinghui commanded the Thousand Niu Guards and the Dethroned Guards plus the four guards; Yuan Huidian Military. On the contrary, it was Li Yuanfang, who was guilty of meritorious service, had no position and no power, and actually did something about housekeeping and guarding.

Somewhat curious, Di Renjie beckoned to Li Yuanfang: "Yuanfang! ”

Hearing the call, Li Yuanfang instructed the servants to say a few words, and walked forward quickly: "My lord, where have you been this morning!" ”

Di Renjie pointed at the servants: "What are you doing here?" ”

Seeing Di Renjie's question, Li Yuanfang replied: "That's the case, just now the steward of Dongyuan came to report that a servant was bitten by a poisonous snake and died. I think that this kind of thing should not bother you, so I will deal with it myself. No, I'm arranging for the servants to prepare the corpses. ”

"Oh...... That's ......" Di Renjie responded, turned around and ordered: "Remember to let the steward give the deceased's family some more money!" ”

"Your Excellency is kind, your subordinates understand!" Li Yuanfang hugged his fists, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Continuing to walk, Di Renjie suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Li Yuanfang: "Dongyuan...... You say the servants were bitten to death by poisonous snakes? ”

Hearing this, Li Yuanfang was slightly puzzled, turned around and said respectfully: "It's confirmed." It was indeed killed by the bite of a poisonous snake, and at the gate of the east wall, it should be when he was going to the toilet, and he encountered a poisonous snake. ”

With a frown, Di Renjie asked, "Lord Fang is in Dongyuan, has this matter disturbed him?" ”

Shaking his head, Li Yuanfang replied: "I have already asked about the humble position, Lord Fang has not responded, everything is normal, it should be fine!" ”

"No response...... Di Renjie muttered, and stretched out his hand: "Take me to see the corpse!" ”

"Did you think of something?" Seeing Di Renjie's performance, Li Yuanfang couldn't help but ask, obviously Yuanfang is much more shrewd now.

Smiling, Di Renjie said, "Let's take a look at the corpse first!" ”

The corpse of the servant was covered with a white cloth, and when he lifted it, his face was dark and blue, and there was still a trace of horror on his face, and between his neck was the wound of a clear poisonous snake's bite, which was already purple.

He lowered his head and sniffed, pointed straight at the wound and said, "It's so poisonous......"

"Did he fall at the gate of the East Corner?"

"Yes!"

"Where is your head facing?"

"Towards the east!"

"When was the body found?"

"About the first moment of the first ......"

Ordering someone to carry the body down for disposal, Di Renjie put his hands behind his back, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Seeing this, Li Yuanfang immediately asked, "My lord, what problem have you found?" ”

With a faint smile, the pretending X mode was turned on, and Di Fatpang said: "A few doubts!" First, poisonous snakes generally attack people, and the wounds are mostly on the feet, calves, and up to the thighs and waist. Looking at the wound of the servant, right in his neck, what kind of snake, so fierce, can jump so high and hit the throat of a person? ”

"This ......"

"Second, in such a situation, it may be that poisonous snakes coil around the beams and window edges in the east area, attacking from top to bottom. However, then his corpse should have fallen in the east wall, and even if he was attacked when he finished using the toilet, his head should be facing outward! ”

"Third, you also heard the words of the old servant just now, in the past in this Wu Garden, you have never seen a poisonous snake. As soon as this appeared, it was such a poisonous and ferocious beast, isn't it strange? ”

"Maybe the servant's enemy deliberately let the snake bite him......" finally caught the opportunity to interject, Li Yuanfang blurted out, but was stared at by Di Renjie's playful eyes, and smiled: "It seems that it doesn't make sense......

With a fist, Li Yuanfang asked: "My lord, there is something strange in this matter, please speak up!" ”

With a sigh of relief, Di Ren said quietly: "Yuan Fang, you forgot, 'Li Er' is also a snake venom." The drama of its poison is no different from that of this servant......"

Hearing this, Li Yuanfang's face changed, and he exclaimed: "You mean, this servant died at the hands of the rebels?" But why, did he find something? ”

After bowing his head and pondering for a while, Li Yuanfang raised his head: "My lord, this is ...... in the house."

"Look at this!" Facing Yuan Fang's gaze, Di Renjie handed him the two handkerchiefs from his arms.

"What's going on?"

"Remember that mysterious killer 'Pit Viper'! Two masked black-clothed men in the north city died, and he did it,......" Di Renjie explained simply.

Li Yuanfang's face was still full of surprise: "That 'pit viper' actually appeared!" ”

"Obviously, our actions in Youzhou have affected them, and the appearance of the pit viper is proof of this!" Di Renjie's tone was flat: "At two o'clock, the soldiers patrolling the city found the corpse of the man in black, and at the first quarter of the year, there were servants in the governor who were attacked by poisonous snakes and died, which was only three quarters of an hour's work......"

"What do you mean, my lord, that this matter has something to do with the 'pit viper'?" Li Yuanfang's expression was solemn, his eyes were sharp, and the battle when he was escorting the mission in Ganliang came to mind.

"The poisonous snake opened the way, and the lake silk handkerchief has always been his characteristic. This mysterious 'pit viper' is getting closer and closer to us! Di Renjie affirmed, and between his eyebrows, there was a trace of solemnity.

After silently digesting the news in his heart, Li Yuanfang looked up at Di Renjie: "But my lord, what is the purpose of this 'pit viper' appearing in Dongyuan?" ”

The old eyes turned slightly from side to side twice, and Di Renjie showed his "old fox" smile: "Yuan Fang, go and see if Master Fang is up?" If so, inform him that I am in the main hall today and have something to inquire about. ”

"Also, you and Jinghui led people to search for snake dens in the governor's mansion to see if there was any trace of the poisonous snake!"

"Yes!"
