Chapter 55: Backtalk and Disguise
It turned out that when the Turks invaded Youzhou two years ago, they were driven away by the Turks and had to leave. Later, after they were rescued by the army, the army said that following the Turks was treason, so they were imprisoned.
Although an amnesty was granted later, when they returned to the village, they found that the land had been taken away by the government, and the consolation money allocated by the court to settle the people affected by the war had been misappropriated by the officials and had not been distributed to the people at all.
.
With no money, no land, and no head to feed, the people naturally had no choice but to rebel. To put it bluntly, the government forced the people to rebel!
Di Renjie became increasingly annoyed with what Fang Qian, the governor of Youzhou, and a group of corrupt officials were doing, and he bluntly said that he would definitely make the decision for them!
After a thunderstorm in late autumn, early the next morning, Di Renjie, who had arranged to travel around and stay to take care of the villagers in Daliushu Village to ensure their safety, left with Ji Li Khan, Li Yuanfang and Hu Jinghui first.
He said he was going back to Youzhou and asked him to take the villagers of Daliushu Village to Youzhou City after traveling for three days, but they turned around and headed back into the mountains.
Three days passed quickly, and Di Renjie also sent Qianniu Guards to pick up the old, weak, women and children from Zhouyou and Daliushu Village to Youzhou to serve as witnesses to testify against the crimes of Fang Qian, the governor of Youzhou.
After entering the city, they ordered the Qianniu Guards to arrange their travels, and then went to see Di Renjie. After that, Di Renjie also directly opened the court to interrogate the case.
However, what people didn't expect was that when Di Renjie asked about the villagers of Daliushu Village who came to the city to file a complaint and the governor sentenced him to death without reading the complaint, Zhang Laosi retorted that what he said last time was to deceive the imperial envoy. In fact,
There is no such thing.
"What?" Li Yuanfang on the side couldn't help but stare at Zhang Laosi in surprise when he heard this, and even Zhou You couldn't help but frown.
Zhou You has been staying in Daliushu Village these days. It is said that Hu Jinghui had no chance to threaten Zhang Laosi and make him rebel in court. Could it be...
Just when Zhou You was frowning in confusion, Di Renjie glanced at him and then turned to look at the governor Fang Qian on the other side with a confident and calm smile as if he was relieved.
Di Renjie, who knew that there must be something hidden, could not produce any results from the interrogation and could not convict Fang Qian, had no choice but to end the interrogation for the time being and let Zhou You leave him alone.
In the evening, the imperial envoy traveled to Di Renjie's temporary Youzhou Governor's Palace. In the room, Di Renjie was diagnosing the pulse of Ji Li Khan who was lying unconscious in bed.
"What's going on? Sir, hasn't His Majesty Khan returned to Youzhou with you a long time ago? Why is he unconscious?" Seeing the unconscious Jili Khan, Zhou You was really surprised and asked.
Under Li Yuanfang's explanation, Zhou You found out that they had indeed decided to go to Xiaolianzi Village in the mountains on the spur of the moment, and that Geely Khan was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake there. He was poisoned by the snake's venom and fell into a coma.
"Snake poison?" Hearing this, Wandering frowned slightly, glanced at Hu Jinghui without any trace, and secretly thought that he really wanted to kill Geely Khan and was unable to take action himself, so he actually wanted to bite Geely Khan to death through the mouth of a venomous snake.
After taking the pulse of Ji Li Khan, Di Renjie also said to Zhou You: "Zhou You, I heard from Yuan Fang that you have great medical skills. Come on, let His Majesty the Khan take a look."
Zhou You nodded in agreement, then stepped forward and sat sideways on the edge of the bed, felt the pulse of Ji Li Khan, and thought about the method of detoxifying snake venom in the detailed explanation of cases in Qianfang Medical Classics in his mind, and then he got up and wrote a prescription and handed it to him.
He gave it to Di Renjie: "Sir, what do you think of this recipe?"
"Okay, okay! This prescription is good! It seems that you, Zhou You, come from a family of doctors. This prescription is really wonderful. It is better than the prescription I gave to His Majesty the Khan before. With this prescription, you can
His Majesty Khan's poison should be cured soon," Di Renjie couldn't help but said with a smile on his face after seeing it.
"My lord, that's ridiculous!" Zhou You smiled modestly, then hesitantly said, "My lord, there is something I don't know whether I should say."
"Oh? What's the matter? But it doesn't matter!" Di Renjie said, but Zhou You said: "Sir, can I talk to you about this alone?"
"Brother Zhou, what can't you let us know?" Li Yuanfang couldn't help but asked when he heard this. Hu Jinghui also said: "Yes! Zhou You, you have to avoid us if you have anything to do, how can you do this?
It’s not interesting enough.”
Zhou You smiled helplessly: "Yuanfang, General Tiger, it's not that I have to avoid you. It's just that I'm not too sure about this matter, so I want to talk to the adults and let them analyze the details for me."
"Okay, Zhou You, come and talk to me in the study!" Di Renjie said with a smile, and after instructing the butler Di Chun on the side to prepare the medicine and take good care of Ji Li Khan, he took Zhou You out.
In the study room that had just been cleaned up in the house, Di Renjie, who walked in first, turned to look at Zhou You and said, "Do you want to tell me about Zhang Laosi's sudden retort in court today?"
"Sir, you won't suspect that I forced Zhang Laosi to retaliate, right?" Zhou You asked noncommittally.
Seeing Di Renjie's noncommittal smile, Zhou You couldn't help but shake his head and said with a smile: "Your Excellency asked me to protect Zhang Laosi and the others. I can say that I have been careful and cautious these days. I can be sure that before coming to Youzhou, I will definitely
It is impossible for anyone to have contacted Zhang Laosi privately."
"After arriving in Youzhou, I handed Zhang Laosi and the others over to the Qianniu Guards to settle down. Under the protection of the Qianniu Guards, being able to successfully see and threaten Zhang Laosi and the others would also make Zhang Laosi
Just retort in the hall obediently..." Zhou You continued, but paused slightly at this point.
"Are you suspicious of Hu Jinghui?" Di Renjie narrowed his eyes and asked Zhou You.
Zhou Youze said noncommittally, "Sir, I just guessed that this is a possibility. In fact, what I want to talk to you about tonight is another matter."
"Oh? Is there anything else important?" Di Renjie was a little surprised when he heard this, and then asked.
"Sir, I suspect that Fang Qian, the governor of Youzhou, is fake." Zhou You's words made Di Renjie even more surprised and confused: "Fake?"
Zhou You nodded lightly and then said: "Sir, have you ever heard of the art of disguise in the world, which is to use a special human skin mask to make one person look like another person?"
"Disguise? You mean, this Fang Qian is disguised as someone else?" Di Renjie stared at Zhou You with slightly disbelieving eyes.
"That's right! No matter how exquisite the disguise technique is, there are still flaws," Zhou You nodded and continued: "Take the human skin mask as an example, no matter how lifelike it is, the mask is just a mask, not real skin. People are like one.
Without speaking, it is difficult to tell what is true or false. But when speaking, or when there are changes in expressions, there will inevitably be a sense of disharmony. If you look carefully, you will find that the person wearing the human skin mask is speaking.
Sometimes the expression will be unnatural."
Di Renjie listened thoughtfully, and then asked seriously: "How sure are you that he is wearing a human skin mask?"
"Not to mention 100% sure, but still 70% to 80% certain," Zhou You sneered confidently: "Sir, I have traveled around the world for many years, and I think I am well-informed. I should still not be able to see this little trick of disguise.
Blind."
Di Renjie, who nodded slightly after hearing this, couldn't help but frown and think: "The murder of the envoy... Geely Khan... Fake Youzhou governor Fang Qian..." If you like movies and TV shows, please save them: (www.sodu777
