Chapter Twenty-Six: The Assassination of the County Yadi Gong
In the backyard of the county government, the officials cleaned up two rooms for the three of them, Di Renjie lived alone, and Li Yuanfang and Mo Qingfeng lived in the same room!
After settling down, Mo Qingfeng fell asleep early, but Li Yuanfang couldn't sleep a little, came to Di Renjie's door, and found that the room was still lit, Li Yuanfang knocked on the door!
Bang Bang Bang!
"Sir, have you slept?" Li Yuanfang stood outside the door and asked!
"Oh! It's Yuan Fang, come in! Di Renjie replied in the house!
Li Yuanfang pushed the door in, and saw Di Renjie sitting at the table, without even changing his clothes, and there was a cup of tea in front of him, which had already lost its fragrance!
"Sir, you haven't rested yet, have you?" Li Yuanfang asked with concern!
"Alas! I can't sleep! Di Renjie sighed and said!
"Did Mr. have other discoveries in today's autopsy, but he didn't tell Cai County Lingyan?" Li Yuanfang poured out the tea in front of Di Renjie and refilled another cup for him!
"Hehe, your eyes are getting more and more poisonous now!" Di Renjie smiled!
"After following Mr. all these years, he should always make some progress, right? Hahaha! Li Yuanfang also smiled!
"Yuan Fang, do you know what I found in the room today?" Di Renjie put away his smile and suddenly asked!
"What is it?" Li Yuanfang suddenly became interested!
"The clothes of the dead passerby!" Di Renjie said heavily!
"Clothes? What is special about the clothes of difficult road visitors? Li Yuanfang suddenly became nervous!
"Do you remember this?" As he spoke, Di Renjie took out a strip of cloth from his sleeve pocket!
"Huh? Sang Luo Jin? Li Yuanfang was shocked!
"That's right! That's it! Di Renjie affirmed!
"Could it be that the clothes on that passer-by are also this Sang Luo Jin?" Li Yuanfang asked in surprise!
"Exactly! I looked through the bamboo basket between the belongings, and found that the intimate clothes worn by the passer-by were made of this mulberry brocade, and I guessed that they were probably sewn at the same time, regardless of the color, material, and degree of wear of the clothing! Di Renjie said solemnly!
"So these two people should be somewhat related, and they may even be from the same house?" Li Yuanfang said!
"Hmmm! I think it's quite possible! Di Renjie nodded and said!
"The deceased of the Guandi Temple died at the hands of Bai Ruyi, could it be that Bai Ru came to Shiyi County after the murder in the Guandi Temple, killed the passers-by who stayed at Zhang Fu's house, and killed Zhang Fu and his wife?" Li Yuanfang analyzed!
"No, it doesn't make sense in terms of time, Zhang Fujia's murder happened five days ago, and the murder of Guandi Temple happened almost at the same time, so Bai Ru won't be separated, how could he commit a crime in two places?" Di Renjie asked!
"Well, yes! I ignored the question of time! Li Yuanfang said with some shame!
"More than that, do you remember what you heard in Qingshan County that day?" Di Renjie asked!
Li Yuanfang's thoughts were pulled back to the day when he visited the county government at night, and Li Yuanfang suddenly said: "Internal guard? ”
"Not bad! It's the inner guard! Since the emperor established the internal guard, no one knows what kind of scale the internal guard is, and those mysterious secret guards, you don't know when and in what capacity they will appear, this is what is terrifying about them! Di Renjie said angrily!
"Yes! I don't know how many Zhongliang who have died tragically under the hands of Neiwei over the years! But these two people are just subordinates of the official eunuchs, why do they let the internal guards chase and kill them painstakingly? Li Yuanfang asked puzzled!
"Hmmm! That's what bothers me too! Kill people and kill their mouths, and they have to go to great lengths to cover up their identities! Di Renjie muttered!
"What a hate! I don't know what the emperor thinks? Sometimes I think the emperor is sometimes a bit vicious! Li Yuanfang said disdainfully!
"Yuan Fangxiu wants to talk nonsense! Have you forgotten where we are now? Don't say such a rebellious word in the future, be careful of causing death! Di Renjie hurriedly interrupted Li Yuanfang's words!
Sou!
"Sir, be careful!"
Syllable! When!
Li Yuanfang let out a loud shout, casually threw the teacup on the table, and knocked down a dart that had been shooting in from the window!
With the crisp sound of the dart landing, Li Yuanfang's figure flashed, and he had already jumped out of the door, only to see a black shadow jumping over the wall!
"Assassin Hugh away!" Li Yuanfang shouted, and immediately chased after him!
The official in charge of guarding the yamen heard Li Yuanfang's shout, and also ran to the backyard, and saw Di Renjie standing at the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to protect him!
"Ah......" With a long yawn, the sleepy-eyed Mo Qingfeng walked out of the room opposite Di Renjie!
"What's going on? Why is it so noisy? Mo Qingfeng rubbed his eyes and asked!
"There are assassins!" A servant was guarding Di Renjie with a horizontal sword, answering Mo Qingfeng's question with his mouth, but his eyes were staring vigilantly ahead!
"What? Assassins? That, that, then we won't be in danger, right? Mo Qingfeng asked tremblingly!
Di Renjie glanced at Mo Qingfeng and didn't speak!
After a while, Li Yuanfang turned back from outside the wall and came to Di Renjie, "Sir, I didn't catch it!" ”
"That's it, that's it! This gangster missed a blow and alarmed the officials, so he shouldn't come back! A few tolerances are hard, thank you very much! Di Renjie said to several officials!
"Mr. Huai is polite, you are our grandfather's guest, we naturally want to protect your safety! Don't worry, we will strengthen our patrols tonight, so you can rest! A servant said respectfully!
The officials dispersed, Di Renjie turned around and went back to the house, and as soon as he walked to the door, he immediately turned around and said, "Mo Sanna, you don't have to panic too much, go back to sleep with confidence!" ”
Mo Qingfeng seemed to be still in deep panic, and it took a while to come back to his senses, "Hmm! Well! I went back to sleep! With that, he turned around and went back to his room!
Li Yuanfang followed Di Renjie into Di Renjie's room, only to see Di Renjie slowly walk to the dart that fell to the ground and squatted down!
"Sir, beware of poison!" Li Yuanfang reminded loudly!
Di Renjie was slightly stunned, but he still stretched out his hand and picked up the dart on the ground!
"Yuan Fang, come and see!" Di Renjie looked at it for a while, and then said to Li Yuanfang!
"This?" Li Yuanfang immediately stepped forward and took the dart handed over by Di Renjie, a little stunned!
Li Yuanfang was shocked to find that the dart that was shot down by himself was just a nail more than a finger long, and it was rusty!
"Sir, this assassin is so strange that he hit a nail with a desperate blow in danger?" Li Yuanfang asked puzzled!
"If I'm right, this man must have been improvised and not fully prepared for the assassination, so he was forced to use this rusty iron nail as a weapon, I guess our conversation just touched his weakness?" Di Renjie groaned!
"This is really unheard of, it is said that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapons, but this assassin has not even prepared a decent weapon, what a ridiculous and generous person!" Li Yuanfang said with disdain!
"Yuan Fang, don't underestimate our opponent, if you weren't there just now, such a small iron nail would be enough to kill me?" Di Renjie said coldly!
"This gangster is too rampant, he dares to assassinate in this county?" Li Yuanfang said indignantly!
"What if this assassin is from this county?" Di Renjie said meaningfully!
