Suzaku Fury

[35 bait cloth net]

Di Renjie hurriedly chased Yuchi Zhenjin for dozens of steps, and only then did he use his kung fu to block Yuchi Zhenjin in a flash.

Di Renjie said urgently: "My lord, please listen to my subordinate's explanation."

Yuchi Zhenjin stopped walking, raised his head to stare, and said angrily: "Get out of the way!"

Unyielding, Di Renjie simply opened his arms to block Yuchi Zhenjin's way. "My lord, the subordinates have no choice but to conceal part of the truth from your lord. I hope you will understand."

Yuchi Zhenjin wanted to leave at first, but when he heard the word 'forced', he took back his steps: "Is it forced?"

Di Renjie looked at him and said: "The high officials in the court died one after another, and rumors spread in Chang'an City. After a few days, the Dali Temple was ordered to solve the case quickly. The subordinates are also afraid of accidents, so they want to solve it as soon as possible, so that the adults can deal with business as soon as possible."

"Huh!" Yuchi Zhenjin snorted coldly, glanced at Di Renjie, turned his face away and said, "It's all for me. Then I owe you a 'thank you'?"

"My subordinates dare not."

Yuchi glared at him, and opened his open arm with a knife, unexpectedly Di Renjie was really good at entanglement, and followed in a few steps, blocking the way.

"Bold Di Renjie, how dare you block my way!?"

"My lord, I don't dare to block my way, I just want to borrow a few minutes from my lord, and let my subordinates share the details with you."

"No need, Mr. Di is thoughtful, insightful, and sees through the tricks of thieves. He has worked hard and made great achievements. I am inconvenient to ask in detail." After Yuchi Zhenjin said that, he walked with Di Renjie by mistake. Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, Di Renjie grabbed his wrist .

"My lord." Di Renjie called him in a low voice, and stopped talking again.

For a moment, both of them were speechless, only Ye Fengxi was left.

Di Renjie felt that the man was about to throw off his restraint, so he quickly said: "This case is very involved. It is definitely not uprooted by you and me. You must know that such corrupt officials dare to be so reckless at the feet of the emperor. Not to mention how insane it would be outside the capital. You and I know that justice needs to be demanded, and we, like others, speak lightly, so we have to think twice before we act, and take every step."

Yuchi didn't reply after finishing speaking, but at least he didn't struggle anymore.Seeing the situation, Di Renjie lowered his voice and said: "As for tonight's incident, Di is not very sure. After all, after discovering that the culprit has such a wild and unconstrained modus operandi, he can't practice it. The first time he practices it, he will be in front of the queen. If he fails, he will be benevolent. Little is known about this, and there are two reasons. First, there is no need to mobilize the teachers. Second, the adults do not know about this, but were sent by Di to invite the Empress. Didn't your lord also guess what Di Mou was thinking, so he was willing to follow Shatuo's words and venture into the palace?"

After hearing this, Yuchi Zhenjin couldn't hold back any longer. He threw off Di Renjie's restraint and at the same time grabbed Di Renjie's wrist, pulled him hard, and then pushed him to the ground.

"In your Di Renjie's eyes, this seat is that idiot who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Is this seat so insignificant in your eyes?"

Di Renjie was speechless for a moment, and could only look up at Yuchi Zhenjin who was half kneeling on his body.

"Di Renjie, you are loyal, upright, and swift in handling cases. I see this speed and ability. To be honest, I respect you. But you ignore what I think and act without authorization. Where is this seat?"

Being stared at by Yuchi's green eyes, Di Renjie couldn't help but feel nervous: "My lord, Di didn't mean to disagree, it's just..."

"Nonsense!" Yuchi scolded angrily, "Since I entered Dali Temple at the age of 15, I have never thought that I can live a long life and have peace of mind. Because I know that in order to pursue the truth and insist on justice, life and death must be ignored. You're so heartbroken, you're dying. You don't want to judge me by your life-saving and mere words, I want to fight side by side with you and charge into battle more than being kept out of it by you!"

"My lord..." Di Renjie couldn't help but shook the hand of Captain Yuchi that was holding his collar, and propped up his upper body on his elbows. He opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't utter a word like a stick in his throat.

The two looked at each other, speechless.One has red brows upside down, eyes full of sullenness; the other has brows tightened, but eyes are full of guilt.

Yuchi Zhenjin was the first to come back to his senses, and his eyes moved to the back of Di Renjie's hand, which was clenched so that the veins bulged. He suddenly panicked, and immediately stood up after shaking it away forcefully, with even more anger on his face: " Presumptuous! You! You..." Standing on the spot and pointing at the person sitting on the ground, "you" can't swear a word for a long time, the anger turned into panic in an instant - he simply turned around and strode towards Suzaku Gate.

Di Renjie looked at the handsome young man in the indigo official uniform in the past, but now he lost his pace, pulled off his beloved black cloak, and walked anxiously outside the imperial city. He couldn't help himself, and laughed while sitting on the ground. up.

"Master Di, do you want to go out of the city together?"

It wasn't until the guard at the city gate called to stop his thoughts that he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly got up from the ground to respond: "Brothers, wait a moment, Di will go out now!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the city gate, under the shadow of the mid-air altar, Yuchi Zhenjin was riding a horse, but he was holding the bridle of another horse in his hand.

It turned out to be waiting for him.

"Thank you, my lord." Just as Di Renjie took the reins from Yuchi's hand, the man clamped the horse's belly, and the poor horse went first.

Di Renjie's eyes were full of flickering lights on Tianjie Street, but his eyes were a little darker, and they gradually went away.

"Di Renjie! What should I do?"

Di Renjie sent his horse forward, and as soon as he left the Zhuque gate, Sha Tuozhong called him to stop him.He reined in his horse and turned around, bowed to the city gate and said, "Brother Laoshatuo, my lord and I will go back to Dali Temple first. After you meet Wang Pu, the imperial physician, we will return to Dali Temple together. Please also ask Imperial Physician Wang to stay in Dali Temple for a while." Day, after the case is closed, we will definitely send someone to escort him back to the medicine house."

Sha Tuo was in a hurry, and quickly stopped him: "Hey! Di Renjie!"

Di Renjie turned around and looked again, but Sha Tuo said nothing, only sighed, and shouted: "Di Renjie, you owe me a roast chicken!"

Sha Tuo looked at Di Renjie, then at Yuchi Zhenjin, who had only a little back, and couldn't help but mourn for Di Renjie.

The next day, Di Renjie had already finished washing and washing. He was standing outside the door of Yuchi Zhenjin's room and was about to knock on the door when the carved wooden door was pulled open from the inside.

Yuchi Zhenjin glanced at Di Renjie who was about to bow, and said indifferently: "Master Di is sneaking around outside the door of this seat early in the morning, what's your business?"

"My lord, this statement is wrong. Di Mou came here to ask for something."

Yuchi Zhenjin raised his foot and stepped out of the door, he heard someone say that, he paused for a while, and said again: "Say."

"Di found a clue and wants to invite adults to investigate together."

Yuchi Zhenjin snorted coldly, but the voice was very soft, only he knew it. "Very good, I have nothing to do today, and I will go with you."

"Thank you, my lord." Di Renjie put down his hands and followed Yuchi, but unexpectedly, the person in front stopped after walking a few steps.

"Di Renjie, why did you come to me with such an empty ceremony?" Yuchi Zhenjin turned sideways and looked at him.

"What does your lord mean?" Di Renjie was rarely at a loss.

"Go to investigate the case and go together. My seat's definition is irresistible, so why use 'please'?" Yuchi Zhenjin said, "From now on, you and I don't need to be formal."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "This subordinate takes orders."

Yuchi Zhenjin moved his steps, stood side by side with Di Renjie, and said: "Talk while walking." After walking a few steps, seeing Di Renjie following behind him, he reprimanded: "Walk side by side with me! "

Di Renjie was stunned.Although it was not in accordance with the etiquette, the teaching officer Chi Zhenjin frowned and stared, and then followed him, shoulder to shoulder with him.

Yuchi Zhenjin deliberately lowered his voice and said: "I went to the Criminal Department to check the accounts according to my plan. You told me at the beginning that this move was just a feint, and its purpose was to create momentum and lure the snake out of the hole?"

Di Renjie nodded.

Yuchi Zhenjin smiled and said: "Who would have guessed, but taught me to make a coward."

Di Renjie stopped and exclaimed, "Really?!"

"It's Liu Deng, the head of the Ministry of Rites." Yuchi Zhenjin sighed, "It's a pity that this person has good abilities, but he is timid by nature. He has not been entrusted with important tasks. He only knows that there are problems with the account books, but he knows little about the corruption of ink."

"Very good!" Di Renjie clapped his hands and smiled, and said, "This person is indeed important in the case of embezzlement of tribute. It is better to know where there is something wrong with the account than we know that there is a problem with the account but have no conclusive evidence. Your Excellency Did someone secretly protect it?"

"Kwong Zhao has been ordered to lead people to hide around his mansion."

Di Renjie was overjoyed, his excitement was beyond words, he almost held the hands of the people around him tightly, laughed and shouted "very good" three times in succession.Before he could get rid of his smile, he said again: "Actually, this subordinate already has a clue as to who is the culprit in the Suzaku case."

Yuchi Zhenjin snorted coldly, as if he was not surprised by this.

"I have already guessed it." Yuchi Zhenjin smiled triumphantly, "If you are not [-]% sure, how dare you speak boldly in front of Tianhou and the people of Chang'an, and promise to catch the culprit within two days?"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Your Excellency is wise. In fact, this subordinate did not reveal everything he knew last night."

Yuchi stopped and turned to look at him.

"The demonstration last night was indeed the method used by the culprit to kill the Minister of Honglu Temple, but when the culprit murdered Zhang Yun, the Jiedu envoy of Lingnan, he wanted to follow the example, but he was forced to use other methods due to sudden changes, thus revealing It's a trick." As Di Renjie said, he took out a cloth bag from his arms, and spread it out neatly, "My lord, please take a look."

Yuchi took a closer look, and found that there were a few pieces of arrowheads covered with soot.

"This is one of the clues left by the culprit." Di Renjie pointed to the shapeless arrowhead and said, "Does your lord still remember what was captured on the roof that day?"

Yuchi asked in surprise, "That line?"

"Exactly." Di Renjie said with a smile, "That is the diamond thread that the culprit has applied anesthesia in advance. Mobility, so it took a lot of trouble to apply anesthetics on the diamond thread. And the diamond thread that the adult cut off that day was the diamond thread that was going to be recycled after the "Suzaku" was burned. The diamond thread with another fire bead was cut off by the adult , so the roller could not be automatically recovered, so it could not be automatically ignited. Therefore, the spontaneous fire beads could be seen on the tiles at noon the next day. And these arrows were the cause of the embassy station’s fire in the end.”

Yuchi asked: "How do you say that?"

"On the day the self-igniting fire beads were discovered, the subordinates and adults separated. In fact, Di went to the post house outside the city and found these inconspicuous arrows on the burnt post post gate." Di Renjie explained, "At first, Di just wondered why there were such rare things on the door of the house, but when he looked at other posts in the post house with a similar structure to the house, he knew the mystery."

"It turns out that there are two skylights on the roof of the posthouse for ventilation. One opening faces south and the other faces north. The culprit learned of this detail and opened the door after the 'Suzaku' disappeared. After the foreign post house did not catch fire, he rushed out of the city immediately, personally on the roof of the post house, shot through the skylight with a bow and arrow to cut the rope that was originally set to tie the fire dragon oil from the Western Regions, causing the post where Mr. Zhang was to catch fire. The few arrow feathers that served as the last pushers were nailed to the door, and then the wooden building was burnt down, but because the post house put out the fire in time, there were still extremely inconspicuous arrowheads left on the door."

"There was an arrowhead on the door that opened to the north, so the arrow must have entered from the skylight that opened to the south. My subordinates searched all the way to the south of the post station, and they found a very suspicious place." Di Renjie wrapped the bag in his hand. Arrowhead pulled out a thin linen cloth from his pocket as if conjuring again, and spread it out in front of Yuchi Zhenjin again.

"Look, my lord, what is this?"

Yuchi Zhenjin took a closer look and couldn't help being horrified. He raised his head to stare at Di Renjie in shock, but couldn't say a word.

Di Renjie put away the things, and said: "So when we returned to the city from the post station, my subordinates went to Mingde Gate to check the entry and exit records. There is only one type of people who can go in and out in the chaos that night without arousing suspicion."

Yuchi Zhenjin pondered for a long time before saying: "At this moment, I finally understand why you know who the culprit is but you don't expose it in front of Tianhou together. You really have good intentions."

Di Renjie stroked the beard on his chin and said with a smile: "The Queen of Heaven doesn't care who is the culprit. As long as the rumors against the royal family are self-contained and the people's hearts are appeased, the rest is easy to talk about."

Yuchi Zhenjin's eyes showed a fierce look, he only heard him say sullenly: "It is my Dali Temple's duty to solve the case and arrest the murderer!"
