Chapter 15: The Case of the Three Holy Ladies (13)
Di Renjie subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and soon, Hong Juren took out a dagger from his arms and said, "As early as when I failed to send someone to assassinate you, I knew that this matter would soon be exposed. ”
After finishing speaking, a brisk stride suddenly appeared beside Di Renjie, and the dagger in his hand was placed on Di Renjie's neck.
Originally, Di Renjie could have dodged, but he seemed to have thought of a good way, Hong Juren had already admitted the crime of murder, but some secrets hidden behind it had not yet been revealed, so it was better to use his abduction to use his own schemes. So he was hijacked on his own initiative.
Di Renjie frowned and said, "So, you are indeed the person from the Dark Dragon Sect, and the person who came to assassinate me is your subordinate, so he has tattoos on his body?" ”
Hong Juren looked up to the sky and laughed and said, "I really didn't expect that you are really smart enough, it is true." ”
After saying this, Hong Juren said again: "Hmph, you have ruined my good deeds, I must kill you." ”
Shu Qi stood aside and was anxious, and the people around him were all urgently dismissed, Li Zhixian didn't dare to annoy the Hongju people, afraid that the Hongju people under the madness would do something unfavorable to Di Renjie.
Di Renjie said unhurriedly: "Okay, before you want to kill me, can you tell me what else I don't know?" ”
Hong Juren seemed to be very confident, so he said unhurriedly: "You didn't guess wrong, I am indeed a member of the Dark Dragon Sect, not only me, but also all of them. ”
Di Renjie looked at him, ready to listen to what was next, and then asked, "They? Are they those innocent people you killed? ”
Hong Juren then said: "What innocents! Hum. Thirty years ago, the Dark Dragon Sect appeared for the first time and caused a great sensation, and later the Dark Dragon Sect was surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court and was close to collapse. ”
"How's it over?" Di Renjie asked again.
Hong Juren controlled his emotions for a moment and continued: "According to the legend that has been handed down, some members of the guild have hidden treasures in temples in various places. At that time, under the temple of the Three Holy Niangniang, there was also a great fortune buried. As for how the Three Holy Niangniang Niang is good, how to use high spells, in fact, this legend is just deliberately spread by our Dark Dragon Sect, in fact, we have spread a lot of rumors throughout the country, with only one purpose, that is, to hide the remaining wealth of the Dark Dragon Sect secretly, and wait for Dongshan to rise again in case of emergency. However, it seems that it is difficult to achieve a big thing, so the three of us want to sit on the ground and share the spoils. ”
Di Renjie raised his eyebrows and said, "So you decided to look for it?" ”
Hong Juren nodded and said, "Now it seems that the girl must have betrayed me, otherwise, it would be impossible for you to get the corpse worms under our teaching." ”
That girl, what she said must be Qin Yuanyuan, I don't know why Di Renjie remembered the woman he had molested.
Di Renjie didn't know why, he was very interested in this girl: "Oh? Girl? Why did she betray you? ”
Hong Juren's face was hideous: "This girl, she is my subordinate, just a little slave, I don't want to ignore her!" As for how to betray, hehe, you go and ask her. ”
Di Renjie had a general understanding of Qin Yuanyuan's details, and then asked, "Then how did the three of you kill each other?" ”
"Haha, isn't that obvious! There are only so many treasures, but if you want three people to divide them, of course, it is better to get them yourself. Money often unmakes the men who make it! ”
Di Renjie said disdainfully: "In this case, don't you take them with you at the beginning?" ”
Hong Juren shook his head: "Do you think I want to?" It wasn't for the sake of being able to take advantage of their prestige, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do it, but unfortunately, even though I killed them, I still haven't found the location of the treasure. ”
"Then if you want to get this wealth, is it the revival of the Dark Dragon Sect to subvert the Tang Dynasty regime again?"
"This... Senior Di Renjie, you don't have to know this. ”
Di Renjie already knew everything he should know, so there was no need to tolerate this dagger all the time on his neck.
So Di Renjie suddenly reflexively snatched the dagger directly, and then cut off Hong Juren's ears all at once.
Then a backelbow restrained him, and Hong Juren let out a miserable scream, and he was suppressed and could not move.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhixian hurriedly called the official officer: "Hurry up, put him in prison and interrogate him on a later date." ”
The surrounding officials rushed up, Di Renjie retreated, and watched Hong Juren being pushed and taken down.
"Humph! Even if you kill me, you won't be able to stop the rise of the Dark Dragon Sect...... Hahaha! ”
Hong Juren shouted such a sentence frantically, which made the people present puzzled.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the Hong Juren's voice fell, he took advantage of the slackness of the officials to hit his head on the pillar and died on the spot.
As for the wealth of the Three Holy Niangniang Temple, Di Renjie ordered people to hand over all the wealth to the treasury for the time being. Li Zhixian thanked him for his kindness and said that this huge wealth was used for people's livelihood and the military, and he would never spend a penny indiscriminately.
However, Li Zhixian asked about the Dark Dragon Sect: "Brother, how did you know?" ”
"County master, my father was once in charge of trying some cases related to the Dark Dragon Sect, and I specially saw it in the county's archives. But I have to warn you, listening to what the people of Hong Ju said about the Dark Dragon Sect must rise, this has to be guarded against! ”
Regarding Di Renjie's question, Li Zhixian didn't care too much, but continued to ask about the case of the Three Holy Niangniang.
"Brother, I didn't hear you mention the three-paw prints on the bodies of Master Li and the bag clerk at first, why is this?"
"My lord, I began to think that it was everyone's hobby, but it is no accident that both of them have dragon claw marks, they must be organized."
"So what is it that the tattoo on the black-clad boy who assassinated you is a black dragon claw tattoo, not the other squires?"
"This ...... I'm also a little confused, because it stands to the grain that only important people or big characters in an organization are eligible to tattoo an entire dragon or a claw. However, a small assassin has such a weight tattoo, which shows that this person is not ordinary, or that his status is qualitatively different from that of the three squires. ”
Di Renjie laughed in his heart after speaking, but he didn't expect to shoot the stunned magistrate in a few words.
Di Renjie once again mentioned the Dark Dragon Sect:
"May I ask Lord Zhixian, do you know something about the Dark Dragon Sect?"
"I know some, that's still what my father said. The Dark Dragon Sect is a mysterious organization founded by Li Jiancheng, the eldest son of Taizu, for the purpose of assassination and kidnapping, mainly to serve the crown prince. But later, the Xuanwumen mutiny, Taizong succeeded to the throne, and the organization moved from the light to the dark, calling itself the Dark Dragon Sect, and was later suppressed by the government. Silence has been secret for decades, if it weren't for the Three Saints Niangniang case, I would have thought I would have been alive long ago! ”
"I still have to remind adults that wealth is the root and seedling of trouble, and you must take good care of this wealth. so as not to cause death! ”
Li Zhixian was deeply grateful, knowing that he had a heavy burden, and suddenly remembered something.
