Chapter 56 Analysis and deception
While Di Renjie was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door, but it was Di Chun who came over and said that Zhao Chuanchen, the magistrate of Sanhe County, was waiting in the main hall.
"Okay, I'm waiting for him!" Di Renjie was so excited that he stood up and walked out.
Daliushu Village is under the jurisdiction of Sanhe County in Youzhou. Regarding the riots among Daliushu villagers, the confiscation of land by the government, and the consolation payments, Sanhe County Magistrate Zhao Chuanchen must be an insider. Therefore, during the court hearing during the day
After that, Di Renjie ordered Di Chun to take a team of Qianniu Guards to Sanhe County to bring Zhao Chuanchen.
Zhou You followed him and came to the main hall with Di Renjie. When he saw Li Yuanfang and Hu Jinghui waiting here, Zhou You, who was a few steps behind, stopped and wanted to go in with Di Renjie and Hu Jinghui.
Li Yuanfang said: "Yuanfang, wait a moment!"
"Zhou You, what's wrong?" Li Yuanfang paused and asked in confusion, while Zhou You also said: "Yuanfang, you and your Excellency, General Tiger, and the Khan went to Xiaolianzi Village. What happened? But what happened?
How did His Majesty Khan get poisoned? Tell me."
Li Yuanfang nodded lightly, and based on his explanation, it seemed that Geely Khan's poisoning was indeed just an accident. He was bitten by a poisonous snake while sleeping at night.
However, another thing Li Yuanfang mentioned aroused Zhou You's interest: "Oh? The mountains are actually haunted? There really are ghosts! There are hundreds of strong people in several villages, but no one is alive, and no corpses are found when they are dead.
Even more strange. Missing? It seems that someone in the mountains is looking for workers!"
"Is there someone recruiting workers in the mountains? Zhou You, what do you mean by this?" Li Yuanfang frowned and asked in confusion.
"Isn't it true? If we don't need manpower to do the work, why bother to capture hundreds of strong men?" Zhou You asked with a sneer.
Li Yuanfang was even more surprised when he heard this: "Hiss... you mean, those young men were kidnapped?"
"Otherwise, how could they disappear for no reason? It might be an accident for three or two people to disappear, but how could it be an accident for hundreds of people to disappear? It must be man-made, otherwise do you really think that ghosts have captured them?"
Zhou You sneered and continued: "Even if it is really a ghost, a ghost that can make hundreds of young people disappear would have turned several villages in the mountains into ghost villages."
Seeing Li Yuanfang nodding thoughtfully, Zhou You continued: "Yuanfang, according to what you said, the villager Lu Dayou of Xiaolianzi Village said that the mountain was sealed, right? For no reason, what kind of mountain was sealed?
?Obviously, there must be something fishy in the mountains!"
"But, the government ordered the mountain to be closed. Could it be that someone from the government would arrest the person?" Li Yuanfang frowned and continued.
"That explains the problem even more! You said that if the government seals the mountain and enters the mountain without authorization, you will kill it if you see it, right?" Zhou You said: "Then, what is there on the mountain that makes the government so nervous? Is it really true?
Ghosts? I think there is something weird! And who is the official here? It’s Fang Qian! He himself is very problematic, and his order to close the mountain is even more problematic. I think the real secret is the root of all problems.
In the mountains.”
"Yeah! That makes sense! You need to tell your Excellency about this quickly," Li Yuanfang nodded and said, while Zhou You waved his hand and said with a smile: "Yuanfang, I can think of everything. Do you think your Excellency can understand it after a private investigation?"
Can you not think of the problems involved?"
"That's right, oh, your lord has come out," Li Yuanfang, who smiled sarcastically, couldn't help but said when he saw Di Renjie and Hu Jinghui coming out of the room.
Di Renjie also walked over with a smile: "Haha, Yuanfang, Zhou You, what are you two whispering about?"
Li Yuanfang briefly explained Zhou You's analysis to Di Renjie. After hearing this, Di Renjie looked at Zhou You with bright eyes: "Haha... Zhou You, good analysis, good analysis! Although you didn't go with us.
Xiaolianzi Village is able to think of these things from what Yuan Fang said. It can be said that he is very perceptive and is better at solving cases than me, a divine judge!"
"Your Majesty, that's ridiculous! I'm just analyzing based on the known situation," Zhou You said with a humble smile, and glanced at Hu Jinghui with his narrow eyes out of the corner of his eye.
However, Li Yuanfang's eyes were all on Di Renjie at this moment, and he had not noticed the subtle changes in the expression and eyes of Hu Jinghui's face.
But when Hu Jinghui looked at Zhou You next, his eyes were already full of fear. He found that Zhou You, who was said to be a wanderer, seemed to be more poisonous than Di Renjie's eyes! He was a big trouble!
The analysis points directly to their key points.
"Sir, should we go directly into the mountain to search?" Li Yuanfang on the side was already eager to try, which made Hu Jinghui feel nervous.
Hu Jinghui knew very well that behind him, Jin Mulan and their workshop responsible for making weapons, that is, their lair, were in the mountains. Once Di Renjie caught him, it would be all over.
"No rush! At present, all this is just our analysis and speculation. There is no evidence yet, so we should not act too hastily." Di Renjie waved his hand and said: "Now, we should first find out what happened in Youzhou City and find out Fang Qian's problem.
Only by clearing these things can we ensure that we have no worries! Otherwise, it will be a bit bad if we force them into a panic and make them jump over the wall."
Li Yuanfang nodded slightly, and Hu Jinghui on the side also breathed a sigh of relief, while Zhou You continued: "Sir, you just met Zhao Chuanchen, what did you think about it? There is a consolation payment for snatching the land of Daliushu Village.
Did he admit it?"
"He directly admitted that he had withheld the consolation money from the imperial court," Di Renjie said. After hearing this, Zhou You frowned and said, "It seems that this Fang Qian is really difficult to deal with. In fact, they are all on the same rope."
Grasshopper, seeing that the matter was exposed, Zhao Chuanchen, who knew he could not argue, could only admit it. I guess he is still expecting Fang Qian to save him! He is really naive!"
"Haha, fortunately he is just naive and not a diehard, otherwise I would really be helpless against him," Di Renjie said with a smile.
"Oh? It seems that your Excellency already has an idea," Zhou You raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, while Di Renjie also smiled slightly mysteriously: "We will find out tomorrow!"
In fact, Di Renjie's method was also very simple, that is, using deception. When Fang Qian came to inquire about the situation, he mistakenly thought that Zhao Chuanchen had confessed to Di Renjie honestly, so he naturally wanted to find a way to kill people and silence him.
In fact, before this, Fang Qian, in order to fear that the villagers of Daliushu Village who were hanging on the execution platform would reveal his crimes, had already asked the army to dress up as rioters from Daliushu Village on the night before returning from the tour.
The people on the stage have moved, but how could this little trick be hidden from Di Renjie?
Knowing that Fang Qian was going to kill him, Zhao Chuanchen would no longer foolishly defend Fang Qian. But just when he was about to reveal the truth, an accident happened.
Zhao Chuanchen, who was about to open his mouth to speak, suddenly froze, as if time had stood still. In fact, he was killed by Hu Jinghui's hidden weapon, the Shadowless Needle, which quietly shot him in the heart.
When Di Renjie reacted and realized there was an assassin, Li Yuanfang and Hu Jinghui also jumped out to investigate, but naturally found nothing.
Later in the evening, Zhou You, who came back from outside, came to Di Renjie's study: "Sir, during the day I sneaked into the Governor's Mansion and overheard Fang Qian and Youzhou Sima Wu Yizhi talking about the Tianbao Silver Number, but I went to investigate.
There seems to be nothing wrong with that Tianbao Bank."
"However, when I came back, I went to the Governor's Mansion and found Wu Yizhi hurriedly looking for Fang Qian. When they learned that Zhao Chuanchen had come to see the Lord, they realized that something was wrong, and they were ready to jump over the wall and directly attack the Governor's Mansion.
Yes," Zhou You added immediately.
Di Renjie, who raised his eyebrows when he heard this, was not too surprised. Instead, he showed a sneer: "Finally can't help it anymore?" Those who like film and television sign in, please save it: (https://www.bajiewx.com
