Li Yuanfang asked back, "Do you really think I did it?"

"It doesn't matter what I think, it's the facts that matter."

"The fact is, I did not collude with the criminals to kill the delegation!"

"Do you think I will believe you?" Di Renjie asked with a smile.

"Others may not, but you will!" Li Yuanfang was firm.

"Even if I believe you, I am just the magistrate of Pengze County."

"It should be said now."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"Isn't it to investigate this matter that you, sir, have been ordered to return to the capital this time?"

Li Yuanfang received a message from Yu Feng in Lingzhou and already knew the ultimate purpose of Di Renjie's trip.

That was why he came to Jiangzhang County in advance to wait.

As soon as Di Renjie arrived, he visited Di Renjie late at night and asked Di Renjie to clear his name.

And now, we have reached this critical moment.

"How do you know?" Di Renjie asked with a frown.

"secret!"

"It seems that you want to tell me a story!"

"good."

"Are you sure I will believe you?"

"can!"

"why?"

"Just rely on your brain and accurate judgment." Li Yuanfang flattered him subtly.

"This top hat is well worn."

Di Renjie sat down calmly and his eyes fell on Li Yuanfang again.

"Go ahead."

Li Yuanfang then recounted the horrific incident he had encountered.

In his memory, it was a brutal massacre!

In just a quarter of an hour, everyone fell except Li Yuanfang and Shibi Khan.

When Li Yuanfang was escorting Shibi Khan to escape, he was discovered by the enemy who had been waiting for a long time during his rest.

The man called himself Viper. He was wearing black armor, a black cloak, and a huge bull-horned mask on his head.

When he attacked, he used a poisonous snake to clear the way, held a sharp sword in his hand, was very powerful, and left a handkerchief behind after the battle.

After explaining the truth about the attack on the diplomatic mission, Li Yuanfang could not help but sigh:

"He is absolutely the most horrible person I have ever met!"

Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang sat face to face.

After listening to Li Yuanfang's self-narration, I did not make too many comments.

He just said calmly, "You mentioned the handkerchief just now."

"Your Excellency's wisdom and carefulness are rare in this world."

Li Yuanfang probably didn't have time to eat, and his voice was getting quieter and quieter.

"You want to use the details in my words to test whether what I said is true or false."

"That's true, but it's a little too judgmental. This handkerchief is the only physical evidence. I want to see it."

Di Renjie obviously didn't believe Li Yuanfang.

The story told by the person on the other side was very strange and nonsensical.

The final killer in the story also has a big problem.

As a person who always likes to use evidence to infer the process, Di Renjie cannot believe someone he has never met based on one-sided words.

"I'll carry it with me."

Li Yuanfang also knew that he couldn't convince people without evidence.

So I kept holding that handkerchief.

He took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Di Renjie.

Di Renjie took it in his hand and spread it out to take a look.

On the handkerchief was embroidered a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.

"Cunxi, what do you think?"

Here it comes, a test from the elders!

You've tested me several times tonight, and you still won't let me go!

Can't you just let me eat some melon in peace?

"Uncle, nephew, are you sitting and watching?"

"Hmm? What do you think?"

"Ah? Then nephew, lie down and watch!"

"Hmm? Speak properly!"

"The nephew was driving a machine gun... I'll ask him about it."

Having followed Di Renjie for so many years, Li Cunxi naturally knew that Di Renjie was a very serious person.

Especially at extremely important moments.

It's okay to be naughty once or twice, I am now his nephew in name only.

It's okay to be naughty three times, and you are still the descendant of the Li family.

If you continue to be naughty, the old man will really be angry.

Li Cunxi turned to Li Yuanfang and asked seriously:

"Why would he let you go?"

"Does he want to pin the crime of killing the Turkish envoy on you?"

Li Yuanfang: ???

He was just about to answer that the other party wanted to pin the crime of killing the Turkish envoys on him, but he immediately heard the second question.

My answer was snatched away!

"Yes, that is certainly the case."

"Because the imperial court has issued a warrant for arrest."

"I wanted to hide myself, and after the storm died down, I would explain the whole story to the superiors and clear my name!"

Li Yuanfang's face was full of speechlessness.

He had everything planned out, but plans could not keep up with changes.

“But I didn’t expect that.”

"It's like there's a pair of eyes watching me from behind. No matter where I hide, those who want to claim the imperial bounty will always find me."

"Until today, I have fought dozens of battles, both large and small, and was seriously injured. I had no choice but to come to find Master Di."

Li Yuanfang spoke and made up a story.

Li Yuanfang's pretense could not be hidden from Di Renjie.

It couldn't be hidden from Li Cunxi who knew the plot!

"If you don't intend to tell the truth, then there is absolutely nothing I can do about what's happening to you."

Li Cunxi spread his hands.

"You dare to come here late at night. You are already at the end of your strength."

“You can run today, you can run tomorrow, and you can still run the day after tomorrow, but you will definitely not run to death.”

Fatty next to him had already become impatient.

The kind smile on his face faded, revealing a serious and cold expression.

People who are familiar with Fat Di know that when this expression appears, Di Renjie is going to keep people at a distance!

"I don't know what you mean." Li Yuanfang still insisted.

Li Cunxi simply stopped acting and said bluntly: "Humph, it's not you who wants to come to see my uncle, it's them who asked you to come to see my uncle!"

There was a slight change in the expression on Li Yuanfang's face.

I still can't hide it.

If he couldn't even hide it from this child, one could imagine how difficult it would be to hide it from Di Renjie.

Li Yuanfang: "I..."

"How do you know that my uncle was ordered to return to Beijing to investigate a case?"

"How do you know where my uncle is?"

"These are all secrets of the imperial court. How can a country bumpkin like you know them?"

Li Cunxi slammed the table and glared at him.

"You are still here making sweet speeches after all this!"

"Tell me, who guided you here? Who is it?"

Li Yuanfang was speechless.

He lowered his head helplessly, and then began to defend himself.

A few days ago in Lingzhou, Li Yuanfang secretly came here and found a small inn to treat his injuries.

However, he didn't expect that his whereabouts were discovered by government officials.

A group of detectives came on orders to arrest Li Yuanfang, the number one wanted criminal in the Zhou Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, a man in a bamboo hat suddenly appeared and killed the innkeeper and the constable.

Then he told him that he could only survive if he found Di Renjie...

"Then, I rushed day and night and finally arrived at Jiangzhang County in advance to wait for the adults to arrive!"

"My Lord, everything I said is true!"
