Chapter 253, Di Renjie was imprisoned

In the temple, flowers are sometimes offered directly to the Buddhas, and after they wither, they are collected by merchants to make spices and sold at a high price. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoTherefore, Sankong knows the characteristics of Yujin, and listens to Di Renjie.

One cent of ordinary tulip is worth 60 wen, and a pound of spices costs 96,000 yuan, which is worth an astonishing amount.

Di Renjie had a plan in his heart, thanked Sankong for coming out of Zhengjue Temple, and went to Sabao Mansion to find He Huaidao to get the case file. The architecture of Sapau is different from that of the Governor's Palace, with a brick vaulted hall connected to a number of dark towers, and the walls are covered with exquisite human reliefs. Not far away, there is a shrine of fire burning in front of the temple, and Sogdians will go in to pray for blessings.

Di Renjie glanced at the temple in silence. People in the world have faith and greed. Sometimes worshipping God is often to fulfill the greed in their hearts, and after repenting, how many people will pick up their selfishness again, and then worship at the feet of God and Buddha after committing evil to seek forgiveness? Gods and Buddhas can't save people's hearts, and neither can the law, but the law can stop people from continuing to be evil. Di Renjie pondered silently that this was the reason why he wanted to do everything in his power to uphold the law.

Entering the Sabao Mansion, the furnishings inside are all forbidden book utensils, gorgeous and shining luster, bright and bright eyes.

He Huaidao and Di Renjie are about the same age, with high eyebrows and deep eyes, and handsome appearance. He is a romantic figure in Jinyang City, the most loved by women in the market, every time he goes out to investigate a case, it takes a long time to gossip with his aunt and aunt, Di Renjie sometimes jokes with him, but he laughs at Di Renjie for not coaxing women.

He Huaidao threw away the case file and quipped: "If you can work hard, I still have a few cases here, do you want to go and get them together?" ”

"My Sogdian language is not good, especially swearing, I have learned too little." Di Renjie said seriously: "They scolded each other in the lobby, and they talked so fast that I thought they were singing." ”

"Hey, you have a time to be humble!" He Huaidao couldn't help laughing, looked at the case file in his hand, and sighed again, "This case is not interesting, if you change two girls to grab money, I am reluctant to let it go to you." ”

Di Renjie chuckled: "I admit your affection." Tell me, have you found anything? ”

"Do you still need to check? How can you Han people know how to serve spices, three catties of tulip! Amman had worked hard from the Western Regions and was easily robbed. His biggest mistake was that he was too stupid, how good it was to find out the whereabouts of the spices and report to the official! I found someone to snatch it back, and in broad daylight, I couldn't say it clearly. ”

"He's carried spices all the way here, can anyone prove it?"

He Huaidao shook his head: "Merchants are afraid of being robbed, and they don't reveal their wealth when they transport many goods, and they don't have any certificates." But there is a record of him selling tulip spices in the past. ”

Di Renjie flipped through the case file, picked out a few conspicuous questions and asked, and then said goodbye to He Huaidao. At this time, it was past noon, the South Market opened, Di Renjie bought Hu cakes to cushion his hunger, and then found the shop that An Shitong said.

The ready-to-wear shop was full of people, and there were all kinds of men's and women's scarves, robes, skirts and socks, crimson, blue, yellow and red, a splendid color. The shop also sold lavender, and three catties of tulip became the raw material that the shopkeeper said, hidden in the cabinet, and turned over by the spice merchant.

The shopkeeper is over half a hundred years old, thin and slightly bearded, and dressed very decently. Di Renjie was wearing civilian clothes, and the shopkeeper didn't know him, so he came over to greet him politely: "Does the son want a scarf or a shirt?" ”

"It's fragrant here." Di Renjie looked around.

"Yes, there are a few robes, and the patron has indicated that they are going to smoke incense." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he saw that Di Renjie was indifferent to the clothes, and hurriedly took out the spices to show off, "My lavender is combined with cloves, jatamansi, and peony skin, which is a special secret recipe." ”

"Is there any tulip?"

The shopkeeper's face froze, he took a breath of wind and choked a few times.

"Can be added." I won't say anything more.

Di Renjie glanced around, like an eagle inspecting his prey, the shopkeeper didn't dare to come out, and suddenly asked, "Your Excellency is not an official errand?" ”

"So what?" There is only incense in the store, and there are few raw materials, and it is not reasonable to buy three catties of tulip.

"It's easy to say that it's an official errand." The shopkeeper was still skeptical.

"Fa Cao joins the army, Di Renjie." He flashed the fish talisman.

The shopkeeper immediately changed his smile, first confessed to the other guests, and then invited Di Renjie aside, took out a carved lacquer incense box, took out the incense pills, and put them on the mica sheet of the copper stove. His nails were extremely well trimmed, but unfortunately he had ringworm on the back of his hand, showing a bit of vicissitudes. After a while, the rich and cold dark fragrance fluttered on the sleeves. The shopkeeper said proudly: "This is the incense with tulips added." ”

"Where do you get all your spices?"

"Mostly in exchange for clothes, hats, shoes and spice merchants." The shopkeeper respectfully took out the brocade shoes with treasure patterns and the brocade shirts embroidered with gold threads, which were luxurious and exquisite.

"Where's the spice merchant?"

"A man from the Western Regions named Wujia is now handling goods in the Western Regions, and he will return in half a year."

Di Renjie stared at the shopkeeper, and the other party smiled flatteringly, hiding his thoughts behind the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

"You insist that the three pounds of tulip spices belong to you, and that they were also purchased from Uga? When was this? ”

"Yes, I thought that making my own incense was more cost-effective than buying it outside. Seven days ago, he said to buy it, and three days ago Uga went to the Western Regions. ”

"How much did three catties of tulip cost? Why buy so much? ”

"Uga and I are bartering, and the silver is about 280,000, not counting fractions. I folded twenty flower crowns and ten brocade robes with him, and I counted them. Adults, you don't know, tulips can be used for both incense and dyeing, and if I want to make tulip dresses, I naturally need a lot of spice experiments. The shopkeeper wiped his sweat, it was cold, but there was a fire in the shop.

Di Renjie glared at him, the flower crown and brocade robe were decorated with decorations, and the value of 10,000 yuan was reasonable. This store is very cunning, launching merchants from the Western Regions who cannot be verified, and trading with goods that cannot be verified.

"Have you started making incense?"

"I tried twice, and I was disturbed by the Amman thieves!" The shopkeeper was furious, "Amman sold me spices, and I didn't buy them because they were too expensive, so he was jealous. This time, I bought tulip, and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, went to the goods store, and snatched all the spices! ”

"What's the ringworm on the back of your hand?"

"It's an old problem." He smiled uneasily, only to feel that something was wrong, and put his hand behind his back. This young man seemed to be amiable, without any aggressive posture, and a few words of conversation made him break out in a cold sweat.

Di Renjie said lightly: "If you really use tulips to make incense, you can cure this problem, it has a miraculous effect on ringworm." Tulips are very powerful, and if you combine them, your fingers will be soaked in color, and you can't wash them with bath beans, but your hands are too clean. ”

The shopkeeper stared at Di Renjie in disbelief, seeing the contemptuous smile in the other party's eyes, which was a mockery of a lie.

"I, I'm ・・・・・・" he couldn't make up words for a while, but stuttered.

"Okay, even if you're really making incense, where are the other incense materials? How about making a combination of incense on the spot? ”

The shopkeeper stared blankly at the incense burner, yes, he bought some cloves and herbs afterwards to fill the number, and he really could get his hands on it at the moment. But Di Renjie's sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through his heart, where did he know the essentials of making incense? I didn't even buy all the incense.

“…… I plead guilty. The shopkeeper was out of his body when he heard his own voice in the distance.

Di Renjie was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect the shopkeeper to surrender very quickly, and there was almost no resistance.

Thinking about it carefully, Di Renjie learned a lot of Yujin's characteristics from Master Sankong, and when he looked at it in the store, he knew that the other party was a layman. The familiarity with lavender does not mean that he is familiar with the nature of spices, but that Ye Gong is a good dragon.

Greed is like a dream, and waking comes very quickly. Di Renjie sighed in his heart, owning this shop is already rich, but the owner has to look forward to Shu and embarked on the wrong path.

"You follow me to the state government and close the case."

The shopkeeper closed the shop in a daze, explained to his family, and a woman covered in silk rushed out crying, and the shopkeeper hugged her and cried. After crying, the woman looked at Di Renjie in fear, lest she would annoy him and give her husband a heavier sentence, so she had to cry and cry.

The shopkeeper told the woman to settle the accounts, redeem herself, and give a careful command. Di Renjie waited patiently to the side, and when he finished dealing with all the chores, he floated like a walking corpse, his face pale. This time, even if he could redeem his sins, he would have to bleed profusely.

The shopkeeper rushed back to the state office, and An Shitong was already waiting. He heard that Di Renjie was going to the case file, but he didn't meet as promised, and he faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Master Di, you let me wait!" An Shitong calmly bowed his hand to him and said with a smile, "Is this the shop?" ”

"Yes. He has pleaded guilty, and I am about to pass on your family, and as soon as the case is closed, the spices will be in Amman's possession. ”

An Shitong was pleased: "Thank you Di Gong! I should bring him to thank you. ”

Di Renjie shook his head: "This is a business matter, and Brother An is too polite." ”

"As it should be." After An Shitong finished speaking, he smiled meaningfully, and left with ease. His back was like a cloud of ink stained on the placket of his clothes, and the gloomy darkness could not be washed away.

Di Renjie stopped thinking, he didn't want to speculate more about An Shitong's motives, just the soldiers would block it.

Later, when the spice case was closed, Amman received the seized tulip spices and thanked Di Renjie for his kindness. Di Renjie compiled a copy of the case file and handed it over to Sabao Mansion for the record.

At this time, Shi Lin Renji, the governor of the prefecture, read Di Renjie's love letter, was surprised, and ordered someone to summon him for questioning.

"Do you really want to go to Yingzhou on behalf of Zheng Chongzhen? When you get there, you're likely to go to war in that area, and you may not be able to come back ・・・・・・. Lin Renji groaned, Di Renjie had outstanding political achievements, and he didn't want to let go of this capable official.

"Mrs. Zheng is seriously ill in bed, and Gong Zheng can't stay away, so it's best for me to travel on his behalf." Di Renjie said calmly.

Lin Renji stared into his eyes, couldn't see a trace of hesitation, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect you to be as sincere as this!" He seemed to have something on his mind, and his five fingers tapped on the case for a long time, and Fang said, "I'll think about it again, you go down." ”

Di Renjie retreated, Lin Renji personally sent him outside the door, and after he left, Wu Zi stared at the love letter, and sighed in a low voice: "Di Gongzhixian, south of Beidou, there is only one person." I'm not as good as him, not as much as him! ”

He turned around and went inside, wrote a letter, and ordered someone to send it to Sima Li Xiaolian, the two have been estranged recently, and they don't look like they were friends back then. Seeing Di Renjie's friendship with his colleagues, he admired and was ashamed at the same time, and suddenly wanted to repair his old friendship with Li Xiaolian. As a long history, he should set an example, and it was Di Renjie who made him see himself clearly. Thinking of this, Lin Renji felt two more regrets for Di Renjie's request to go to Yingzhou.

Di Renjie didn't realize how much he touched the chief, and when he arrived at Chenguang, he found out the directory of the state government and looked through it carefully. Whether it is the Governor's Mansion or the Sabao Mansion, looking through the resumes of all officials, it is like a knife engraved in his heart.

After reading the list, the twilight was boundless, Di Renjie thought about his thoughts all the way, walked slowly from the state office to Shangxinfang, and returned home before closing the door. In the dim alleys, seven or eight thugs with long sticks suddenly burst out, and they couldn't help but swing their sticks at him. The black shadow of the stick is like a poisonous snake, and it forms a circle viciously, and when it is an opportunity, it opens its sharp teeth and bites.

In a hurry, Di Renjie was like the wind, looking for a way out from the gap in the shadow of the stick, and skillfully swam behind one gangster to resist the attack of another person. For a time, the enemy became a puppet who was at his mercy and teased, and the stick often hit his accomplices, while Di Renjie slipped through the empty space and swept towards the high wall.

The sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air came, and without looking back, he knew that three daggers were chasing after his back. Exhaling a breath, Di Renjie suddenly descended, leaned back against the ground, turned over and took the hidden weapon.

Holding the three daggers dangling, the palms of his hands ached hotly. Thrown out the way he came, he turned around and walked away, screaming over the wall.

He was still two streets away from the gate of Shangxinfang, but the pursuing enemy seemed to be determined not to let him go back. The sound of the cymbals closing the door rang one after another, and several long arrows whistled in front of them, poking on the ground, and when Di Renjie hid vigilantly to the side, the wings of the arrow's tail were still trembling.

The archers are not ordinary gangsters, but they have the skills of the army. Di Renjie looked awe-inspiringly, in the darkness, there was no trace of the enemy exposed, and the experienced hunter was squinting. Wait for the prey to appear. The cymbals finally stopped. The commotion of rushing home gradually stopped, pedestrians on the street became scarcer and scarcer, and the business of restaurants and shops became lively. The pursuers disappeared at this moment, and Di Renjie waited for a while, but did not hear any suspicious movements. He stepped out of his hiding place, the cold wind was indifferent, rolling up the smoke and dust and the corners of his clothes, and passers-by looked at him strangely.

The door of Shangxinfang is closed, he can only stay here, these thugs don't want him to go home? Di Renjie groaned, and several thoughts drifted through him in an instant, until a surprised voice interrupted him.

"Master Di?" Amman, a spice merchant, walked from the corner of the street with a woman in his arms, and the woman smiled charmingly, and she could still be seen in the light of the lamp in the distance.

Di Renjie smiled faintly, Amman pushed the woman away, and walked up to salute: "I didn't expect to meet Master Di, I just wanted to celebrate, it's better to meet by chance, can Lord Di have a drink?" ”

"It's fine." Di Renjie looked calm.

Amman hurriedly glanced at him, and the fireworks woman immediately came up and grabbed Di Renjie's hand.

Di Renjie did not shirk it, either there was a cat, or it was a coincidence, Amman found a private prostitute after the verdict of the case. Di Renjie is bold, and he is as careful as a hair, and he is not afraid of the other party's tricks.

The two of them looked for a restaurant nearby, and the woman named "Ai Ai" clung to Di Renjie, and he had to push it away repeatedly. Seeing this, Amman smiled and said, "I didn't expect Master Di to be so stubborn, not free enough!" ”

Di Renjie smiled, men and women love to pay attention to love, if he really likes anyone, even if it is a Qinglou woman, he will treat each other with sincerity. This Ai Ai deliberately laughed, and Amman's intentions were unknown, so he naturally couldn't devote himself. Thinking that Amman might be wary, Di Renjie happily put his hand on Ai Ai's shoulder, "I like to take the initiative myself, and it is better for women to be reserved." ”

Ai Ai blushed and volunteered to give a drink. Amman frequently persuaded to drink, and Di Renjie was in Ai Ai's palm, drinking cup by cup.

"Seeing that people are drunk, why can't you bear to wake up alone?" Di Renjie suddenly said aloud, his eyes shining like a sword.

Amman was startled and dropped his glass.

Di Renjie looked at him and laughed, and Amman picked up the cup in disguise, unsettled.

"Your Excellency is so good, why don't you make a drinking order?" Ai Ai said busily.

The three of them then ordered to drink, Ai Ai was quite anxious, Amman lost the most, and Di Renjie put aside distractions and had the most fun.

After eating and drinking, Amman wanted to arrange a place for Di Renjie to live, he waved his hand and thanked him, there was a place to rest in the state office, so it was better to go back to watch the night. He insisted on paying half of the price for the wine and staggered out of the restaurant.

Amman hurriedly chased him out, and couldn't help but pull him to a mansion, and Di Renjie had to pay the bill first. He persuaded Amman to leave, closed the door, and his eyes immediately cleared up as bright as a lamp.

Something was going to happen, and he couldn't stop it, and it felt terrible. He sensed Amman's deliberateness, and had a vague premonition that this was not a chance encounter.

Amman smiled desolate as a dead old tree outside the store. Ai Ai was on Amman's chest when he heard the merchant murmuring, "This is a good officer, and he helped me win the lawsuit." ”

Ai Ai smiled: "You have said it more than a dozen times! ”

"He's a good officer." Amman bowed his head sadly and hugged Ai Ai tightly.

The next day, Di Renjie hurriedly signed the seal at the state office, and then rushed home. Halfway through, He Huaidao led two people, saw Di Renjie, and greeted him.

"Brother Di, come out to investigate the case?" He Huaidao stiffened his face and greeted each other, the two were far apart, and they looked angry.

"Forget something, go home." Di Renjie smiled and noticed that something was wrong, "Where are you going?" ”

"Along the road with you." He Huaidao rarely smiled, and glanced at him seriously, "Brother Di, don't blame me for not being emotional." ”

Di Renjie walked side by side with him, and said calmly: "What happened? ”

"Amman surrendered."

"What's the crime?"

"Sixteen horses of silk were bribed to you." He Huaidao said bitterly, he didn't expect this case to be handed over, and Di Renjie was pulled down in a blink of an eye.

"He's so generous." Di Renjie sneered. A horse of silk is calculated at 500 yuan, and 25,000 yuan is relative to three catties of tulip, which is not too much, but it is enough to be sentenced heavily.

"Brother Di! This is not a joke, brother is in charge of your case, you have to tell the truth. He Huaidao said eagerly, wanting to see the twists and turns of right and wrong from Di Renjie's expression.

"Don't worry, it's very easy for him to plant a stolen stake, and when you get to my house, you will definitely be able to find these sixteen silks." Di Renjie was serious, "I couldn't return to the shop last night, so I stayed in the Di store, and there should be a record in the store." ”

"Brother Di, if you stay overnight, it doesn't mean that you haven't taken bribes, as long as the stolen goods are at home, whether you personally accept them or not, you can't escape the blame."

Di Renjie thought for a while and smiled self-deprecatingly: "You're right, if the little guy in my family doesn't do anything, I will have to bear this crime." He figured out that if someone insisted on dealing with him, whether it was a restaurant or a restaurant, they could create the wrong time. Even if he laid out yesterday's itinerary one by one, he couldn't say clearly.

Amman can be exonerated if he surrenders by paying bribes.

Sixteen horses of silk were received for two years, and his seventh-rank official could be punished for one year, that is, one year in prison. Di Renjie groaned, Amman is undoubtedly a puppet, who is it that wants him to stay away from the officialdom of the state?

The list of officials slid through his mind like flowing water.

When he arrived outside the gate of Di's mansion, the little maid had just woken up and yawned to answer the door. He Huaidao ordered someone to search the entire house, and the maid was so frightened that she didn't move, but Di Renjie took a book and sat down to read. He Huaidao only then discovered that the only thing that could be seen everywhere in his house was books.

He Huaidao was angry and funny: "You're going to prison, aren't you worried?" ”

"Are you worried about being exonerated?"

He Huai said angrily: "Okay, then you confess your guilt directly, and I will save trouble." ”

"My house is not a big place, there is only a study where I can put sixteen horses of silk, so hurry up and rummage there."

He Huaidao stomped his feet, wanted to plug his mouth, turned his head to look at the little guy who was shrinking on the side, and asked, "Your master didn't return last night, did someone send a silk silk?" ”

The little guy looked at Di Renjie timidly.

"It's okay, Dijan, you'll be honest."

"Someone knocked on the door last night and said that the prince had done a good deed and got sixteen silks. As soon as I opened the door, they rushed in, and I didn't know what to do. After Di Zhan finished speaking, his little face wrinkled, and he said to Di Renjie bitterly, "Son, did you ・・・・・・ me something bad?" ”

"I told you to keep an eye on the portal, but you weren't cautious enough." Di Renjie patted him on the shoulder and said seriously, "Now that I have to eat in prison, remember to buy some good wine and food, and don't forget that I am starving to death." ”

Di Zhan couldn't hold back it, and immediately sobbed: "Since it's my fault, how can I let Gongzi apologize?" ”

He Huaidao couldn't bear it, glared at Di Renjie and said, "What are you scaring him for!" It is certainly wrong that the door is not strict, if they really want to plant a false accusation, where can he hide alone? ”

Di Renjie asked with a smile: "Do you think it's a planting?" ”

He Huaidao was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Hmph, you have no heart and no liver, you deserve it, and you deserve to be locked up for a while." ”

"What should I do? Being wronged and not wanting to live? Yesterday I met a noble man who said that I was in prison, and it seemed that I should go in and live. ”

Di Renjie said lightly, and He Huaidao suddenly realized that he was jealous of his calmness.

"I will transfer this case to the Governor's Mansion, I hope they will let you go." He Huaidao scratched his head, the party has indicated that he wants to go to prison, how can he help Di Renjie clear his name?

"I will explain yesterday's itinerary, you should do a good deed, go to the witnesses for me, and then hand over the case." Di Renjie sighed, if he was caught in official wrongdoing, he would not be able to send an envoy to Yingzhou on behalf of Zheng Chongzhi, and his successor would be Shi Maha, so it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be judged by any moth.

and state prison, a new inmate.

"Di Renjie, on the fifth day of the first month of October, begged in Nanshi and accepted sixteen silk horses. Two years in prison according to the law! ”

Prison Shangguan Yanrui finished reading the paperwork and nodded awkwardly. When Di Renjie joined the army as Fa Cao, he was his top boss, and he was like a god in judging cases, but he didn't expect to be sent in today.

"The official sentence was commuted by one year, and I will only be in prison for one year at most." Di Renjie smiled, as if comforting the prisoner. He was neatly dressed, without any worries, not like he was in prison, but like he had come to go out.

His case dragged on for half a month, and Shi Maha took over Di Renjie's position, and the iron case was quickly completed. Changshi Lin Renji personally inquired about the case, but the initial testimony obtained by He Huaidao was unfavorable to Di Renjie, and Shi Maha naturally confirmed all the evidence during the interrogation, and Lin Renji had no choice but to give up.

"Di joined the army, and life in prison was not easy." The prison approached him and whispered Di Renjie's original official title.

Di Renjie waved his hand uninhibitedly and went in to inspect the cell. Yes, the single room is very spacious, not smaller than his hall. It's a pity that the straw-paved bed has long been black and moldy.

Di Renjie took out his own mat and wanted to burn the straw into ashes and sprinkle it all over the cell to prevent insects. Raune was not allowed to have an open fire, so he cited a medical doctrine and forced the warden to lend him fire.

"Shangguan Yanrui, do I look like someone who will set fire to the prison?" He was right in his words.

"Master Di, this is the rule, it's not that I don't want to borrow fire, in case I ......."

"Alas, you are so cowardly! It's better to go to your own family. ”

"Shangguan Shilang? That's a figure in the clouds, how dare I climb high? Shangguan Yanrui smiled, his face lit up, "Master Di, if you don't do that, you bring the straw over, and I'll go outside to burn it?" ”

The prison warden was helpless against this old boss, so he was able to sell him face and burn the grass himself.

Di Renjie settled down here, except for this incident, when he came, he didn't add to the chaos. Try it, the prisoners who live in the same prison think this method is good, and all those who have a good family and can bring their own mattresses will want to burn all the straw.

There was a burst of smoke inside and outside the prison cell, but the cell was completely new, no longer damp and terrifying.
