Suzaku Fury

Chapter 37 [28 Candle Night Talk]

Although Yuchi Zhenjin was the wounded person, he couldn't see the weakness of the wounded person from him.But at this time, it is more appropriate to say that he was furious.

Yuchi Zhenjin kicked open the carved wooden door, put the candlestick heavily on the round table in his hand, then turned around with his hands behind his back, staring at Di Renjie without saying a word.And the person who was stared at stepped into the room, and slowly turned around to close the door.

"Di Renjie!" Yuchi Zhenjin shouted violently.

Di Renjie shook his hand as he put down the latch, turned around and paused, and then asked, "Why did your lord call the next official?"

Yuchi Zhenjin approached a few steps, and there seemed to be two clusters of burning flames in his pair of blue eyes: "Don't you pretend to be crazy with me! Why did you help the suspect escape just now? And why, the suspect came to you in the dark!?"

Di Renjie took a step back, leaning his shoulders against the wooden door behind him and said, "The one who visited just now is not a suspect. To put it bluntly, he is one of the insiders."

Yuchi Zhenjin snorted angrily, pulled Di Renjie with all his strength, and threatened: "Di Renjie, if you don't explain the matter clearly tonight, don't think of my door!" After saying that, he waved his hand and pushed Di Renjie to the round table on the stone pier below.

Di Renjie stabilized his body, heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The lower officials have never refused to tell the story."

Yuchi Zhenjin didn't talk nonsense with him, he moved Shidun and sat beside Di Renjie, staring at his blue beads like a whip to extract a confession, which made Di Renjie feel inexplicably nervous.His Adam's apple rolled, and he moistened his throat before opening his voice: "Did your lord remember Fang Jian, Minister of Honglu Temple?"

Mentioning these idiots, Yuchi Zhenjin would definitely sneer: "If you embezzle tribute, you will die!"

Di Renjie said with a smile: "Fang Jian's evil deeds are far more than these. Today, Sha Tuoyi and I plan to visit Fang's mansion again... We will definitely not go there as an official of Dali Temple, and we will not mention the method. Although it is heresy , but let Xiaguan discover some clues that he hadn't discovered before."

"It turns out that Fang Jian, the Minister of Honglu Temple, abused his power. He took advantage of the convenience of going south to Guangfu to purchase goods from a foreign country and took them for himself, forcing the woman to commit suicide as a last resort. Fang Jian knew that he would die if things were revealed. , so I ordered the Fang Mansion to keep their mouths shut, never mentioning this matter, and secretly disposed of the corpse." After Di Renjie finished speaking, he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I never thought that Fang Mansion would be haunted by ghosts after this girl committed suicide. This made the people of Fang's family even more panic, and the house was restless. But Fang gradually became a guilty conscience and dared not investigate carefully. He only hired a quack warlock to do a few rituals and then made a fuss. It is true that there is no haunting anymore. After the matter settled down, the Fang Mansion also changed a few batches of servants, if not for the old servants, they would not have known about this incident, but only knew that there was a forbidden place in the Fang Mansion that could not be mentioned or visited."

"The usual coincidences are not coincidences. In addition, the officials don't believe in ghosts, so they can't help being suspicious, so they insist on going to the forbidden area to take a look. After seeing it this way, the officials really found something strange. If no one enters or exits the forbidden area, it's even worse. It’s impossible for someone to clean it, so why are the furnishings in the room neat and tidy, and the round table in the room is also spotless?”

Seeing that Yuchi Zhenjin was only looking at him fixedly, and his red eyebrows frowned never loosened, Di Renjie's tone softened: "Fang Jian swallowed tributes privately, especially Chen Xiang, and his old servant also said that he should be from a foreign country. The woman appeared after Fang Jian went south to count the tributes. In addition, the servants of Fang's mansion described the woman as fond of wearing white gauze and white clothes. The officials guessed that she was from Linyi, and must have a lot to do with Fang Jian and others embezzling the tributes. As for what happened next, I'm still guessing, if we look at the past cases and the clues we've found, I speculate that this woman must have resurrected from the dead body, and she and Fang Jian came to have a trick to get out of her shell."

Yuchi had a sudden realization: "According to your opinion, is this woman feigning death?"

Di Renjie said with a smile: "Your Excellency is wise. After this girl died, the 'ghost' that appeared in Fangfu must also be her. If not, it would be difficult for her to be free."

"Then why does she still want to stay in Fangfu? Now that she is free, why doesn't she return to Linyi immediately?"

Di Renjie gently stroked the goatee on his chin with two fingers, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's the hatred of taking her body that she can't let go of. I'm afraid this woman hates Fang Jian who took her, so she lurks in Fang's mansion, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate. My lord Have you ever heard a saying: the most dangerous place is the most safe place, and this is the way to win in danger."

Yuchi's eyes lit up, and he said anxiously: "If so, this woman is the culprit in the Suzaku case?!"

"No, no." Di Renjie said again, "If this woman wants to kill Fang Jian, Fang Jian is already dead. The culprit in the Suzaku case is someone else. The official guesses that this woman's hatred for Fang Jian has already surpassed At the cost of life and death, she wanted to uproot Fang Jian and others, so as to eliminate the hatred she had endured for so many years. If you think about it in this direction, it is not difficult to imagine that the person who used the blunt square nails was this woman .”

"What?" Yuchi Zhenjin jumped up when he heard the words.

"My lord, don't get excited. I was not convinced before, so I put a piece of gossip on the round table in the forbidden area of ​​Fang Mansion. If someone returns the gossip to me, it will prove that my guess is true." Di Renjie Pushing Yuchi's real gold back onto the stone pier, he said again: "Fang Jian is cautious in his actions, and it is even more difficult to find flaws in the perfect bi. If this woman has nothing to ask for from me, she will not take the risk of feigning an attack that night. So, come down." The official pressed a piece of gossip and took a gamble."

After hearing Di Renjie's long speech, Yuchi Zhenjin couldn't help but gasped.At the end, his eyes flickered and he said, "Di Renjie, you are really cunning."

Di Renjie cupped his hands with a smile and said, "The next official is a compliment from an adult."

Yuchi Zhenjin didn't bother to argue with him, so he glanced at Di Renjie and said, "The night is deep, now that this matter is clear, you can go back and rest. There are not six days left in the seven-day limit, and the investigation will continue after dawn."

"My lord must have gained a lot tonight. Since your lord is tired, let's discuss it at dawn." Di Renjie got up after speaking, and walked straight to Yuchi Zhenjin's bed.

Yuchi Zhenjin quickly stopped him: "Di Renjie! What do you want to do?"

Di Renjie turned around and smiled, and said, "I follow your lord's order and stay here."

Yuchi Zhenjin didn't know, so he was speechless for a while.

"There is a lot of fog, Your Excellency really thinks that the officer has finished explaining?" Di Renjie smiled and sat on the captain's bed, took off his boots and put them away in an orderly manner, and said: "The officer never said that he has explained everything he knows, Since my lord wants to know, I will be ordered to speak up."

Yuchi Zhenjin was so angry that his face turned red, he pointed at Di Renjie for a long time and only said hatefully: "You!"

"My lord is still injured, don't get angry anymore." After saying that, Di Renjie rolled into the bed, and fell asleep honestly and unceremoniously with his arms on his arms. After a while, there was a soft sleeping sound of snoring.

Yuchi Zhenjin almost rushed to the top, but Di Renjie really had no choice but to clenched his fists and sulked for a long time because of what he said, "hold on" and put out the candle with a wave of his hand. bed.
