Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Just one meal brought about a qualitative change in Hu Jinghui's heart.

This man, who was bent on revenge, completely confirmed his anti-war ideology after swallowing the wild vegetables.

Life has been so miserable these years.

As the nephew of Queen Wang, he was exiled to Lingnan when Queen Wang died when he was not even a month old.

Over the years, my parents died, my relatives died, and my entire family died.

He was able to live to adulthood, join the Snake Spirit, and rise to the rank of Lieutenant General of the Royal Guard. He worked hard step by step, step by step, and step by step to get to this position!

Regardless of whether he can achieve the final victory in protecting Jin Mulan this time, he must try his best.

If he fails, he will always try again next time, and the next time.

Hu Jinghui believed that one day he would be able to overthrow Wu Zetian together with a group of like-minded people!

Then, the faces of the leaders of each Snake Spirit Hall appeared in Hu Jinghui's mind, and finally the picture in his mind froze on a group of people's faces.

……

While Hu Jinghui was reminiscing about the past, Di Renjie had already asked Lu Dayou about the people's livelihood issues that concerned him most.

This is what he would ask wherever he went.

"Dayou, is the harvest not so good here?"

Lu Dayi had a bitter look on his face.

Finally, he got to the point where he wanted to complain the most.

"Well, sir, let me tell you the truth. Mountain people live off the mountains. Whatever is in the mountains, it is a treasure to us."

"Like those wild animals, common medicinal herbs, and trees, which one can't make a little money to fill your stomach?"

When Hu Jinghui heard this, he also became interested.

There is not much in Lingnan, just mountains, forests, wild beasts and miasma.

Most of those who were exiled to Lingnan at that time died at the hands of wild beasts and miasma, and were finally hastily buried in the mountains.

Of course, Lu Dayou could think about what he was going to say next in his mind first.

After all, now the only thing that is worthy of these ordinary people complaining in front of outsiders is the government's closure of the mountain!

"In the villages near the mountains, although they are not wealthy villages, they can still have food to eat every day."

"Plus, the roads in the deep mountains here are rugged and difficult to travel, so the several wars in Youzhou have not affected us."

"So, when people from outside talk about us, they are all very envious!"

There was no bitterness on Lu Dayou's face at this moment, but instead a smug smile.

It's like a drunk friend at the table bragging to you about how great his home is.

He completely forgot that he now had no food to eat.

Di Renjie also laughed when he thought about it, and asked:

"If that's the case, then why are you all living such a hard life now? You've even started to eat wild vegetables to survive."

Lu Dayou once again showed an expression that was difficult to describe.

"Two years ago, after the Turks came to Youzhou and were driven away, the government sealed off the mountain. No one from our side is allowed to go up the mountain, no matter who they are. If anyone sneaks up the mountain and is caught, they will be beheaded immediately!"

Di Renjie and Hu Jinghui looked at each other, then turned to Lu Dayou and asked:

"Why is that? Why don't you let people go up the mountain for no reason?"

Lu Dayou said helplessly:

"How dare ordinary people like us get involved in government affairs? If we are not careful, our heads will be chopped off."

Lu Dayou sighed for a long time.

Because the government closed the mountains, their lives were really hard.

People who live off the mountains, water and fields naturally have to find ways to make a living from the mountains.

Now that the mountain is closed, it is not easy to get food and we can only barely make ends meet.

"So how do you live?"

"The masters of Youzhou use Qingshigouzi as the boundary. We are not allowed to go up any further than that. As for the bottom of the mountain, they don't care about us. They can't let us all starve to death, right?"

"That's true. If I let you all starve to death, I won't be able to explain what happened here." Di Renjie lowered his voice, as if talking to himself.

"But what's there at the foot of the mountain?" Lu Dayou curled his lips. "There are only wild vegetables and weeds at the foot of the mountain. If we're lucky, we might run into a pheasant or a rabbit or something. It's a blessing from God to eat meat once a month!"

Before the mountain was closed, Lu Dayou dared to guarantee that he would be two times fatter than he is now.

After the mountain was sealed...

Alas, it’s hard to put it into words!

Having enough to eat is a luxury.

After secretly complaining about the elders of Youzhou in his heart, Lu Dayou continued:

"At least we can survive, we just need to eat one meal a day and go on like this, but..."

"But who would have known that just after the mountain was sealed off, ghosts would start to appear around here again!"

Di Renjie, a staunch atheist, immediately became excited when he heard such ridiculous words as "ghost".

He quickly straightened his face and asked, "What, haunted? Where is haunted?"

"Sir, you are an outsider, so you naturally don't know. Seventy miles away from our Xiaolianzi Village, there is a Yao Family Shop. In the past, it was a mass grave. Who would have thought that it would become a town overnight!"

"What? It turned into a town overnight?"

"Yes, sir, there are houses and shops in the town, but there are no people!"

"no one?"

"It's dark and gloomy there during the day, and you can't see anyone there, but at night it becomes lively immediately."

Atheist Di Renjie's brows were already furrowed.

Hu Jinghui hurriedly looked at Di Renjie, and when he saw Di Renjie's expression, he knew that something was wrong!

You can fool many people by pretending to be a ghost, but you definitely can’t fool Di Renjie!

What's more, there is Li Cunxi, a master of trickery who will soon meet them!

Li Cunxi had tried a case in Pengze County by pretending to be a ghost!

How could such a petty trick be hidden from Li Cunxi, the genius crime solver whose brain is quicker than the knife in Li Yuanfang's hand?

Lu Dayou here is still telling what he knows.

"At first, some people in our village were curious and went to have a look in groups of three or five, but no one came back!"

"Sir, if this person is missing, how can his family not be worried? So hundreds of young and strong men from several nearby villages made an appointment, bringing hoes, iron hoes and rakes, and went together to find out what happened."

Strictly speaking, hoes, hoes and rakes are all farm tools.

Using this kind of thing to deal with the so-called ghosts they mentioned can only be said to be truly courageous.

Di Renjie felt something was wrong and asked quickly, "What happened in the end?"

"All gone!" said Lu Dayou.

"Gone?"

"Yes, no! Not one came back."

Hu Jinghui finally got a chance to interrupt and said, "This is too weird. How is it possible?"
