Chapter 5 chapter Five

Downstairs of the garrison, there were shouts of killing all over the mountains and valleys, and groups of flying tigers on horseback galloped freely. The knives and guns in their hands shone in the morning light, and the tiger skins on their shoulders fluttered up and down in the breeze.Di Gong anxiously looked back at the turbid Yellow River in the distance, the river seemed to be rising even higher.The smog gradually dissipated and the sun came through. Di Gong vaguely saw a black spot on the Yellow River that was slowly getting bigger. Di Gong turned his face and said to Yan Yuan sternly: "Boss Yan, everything is clear now, you and Mei Yu killed Aster together. You made him pregnant, but what you dream of is to be with Miss Mei Yu Married, the lady also fell in love with you, you two have been in contact for a long time. You know that the old man will never agree to your marriage, because the old man knows all about your romantic activities in the city, so he made a marriage with the Liang family early on. The arrival of the Flying Tigers provided an opportunity for you to carry out your conspiracy. Miss Mei Yu first stole two hundred taels of gold and hid them, and then the two of you killed Aster together and made her wear your long skirt, Miss Mei Yu. You hid in the attic, Yan Yuan, you hid it from the old staff first, let Min Guotai see the dead body, and then put the aster into the coffin with the two old servants. Everyone in the manor thought Mei Yu was dead. A piece of black plaster stuck the wound on Aster's back. Min Guotai hadn't seen the lady's face for a long time, so it was easy to hide it from him, because Aster was wearing an expensive long dress of the lady, and in fact he would never have dreamed of it. There was a well-designed deception hidden. When the old man got the news, the fake lady had already been put into the coffin! What could he do? He knew that his daughter had a heart attack, and Min Guotai had already cut the pulse and made a diagnosis. "

Mei Yu sneered contemptuously: "It's as clean as a legend, Lord Inspector, I don't know what we will do after this according to your legendary story?" "It's not difficult to guess. When the Flying Tigers came to attack this manor, Yan Yuan took advantage of the chaos and climbed up to the attic to hide with you. The two climbed down from the attic and quietly waited for the flood to recede. The robbers did not dare to set fire to the house. Then you took the two hundred taels of gold and fled to the state capital to stay first, while you went to sue and made up a set of unlucky lies Come on. You will say that the Flying Tigers have kidnapped you, you have endured all kinds of hardships and hardships, and finally escaped from the clutches of the clutches. Of course the government believed your words, and you will legally inherit, miss..."

You will get married and live a life of wealth and prostitution from then on.Although you, Mei Yu, lost your parents in this catastrophe, you will not feel uneasy, and in fact, you would never think of letting your elderly parents hide in that attic. "Your father said that the white tiger star is coming. I, the real white tiger spirit, passed away last night. By chance, I came to your manor to stay overnight, and you two were unlucky. I found out that there was no young lady in the coffin. I discovered that the young lady was hiding in the attic. I exposed the tricks you played, and I uncovered the real murderer who made money."

The shouting downstairs in the garrison building became louder, and the chugging of Yunche was already very clear.A dozen or so Flying Tigers were about to hit the gate of the manor with their giant logs on their shoulders. Mei Yu's big pale green eyes were burning with anger, and her long face was as pale as death with anger.Her lips were purple, and her thin shoulders were trembling.Suddenly she shouted: "The Flying Tigers are here, and the ghost of Aster is coming for revenge. No one will know where the gold is hidden. The sky has eyes, and we will all be destroyed in a moment!"

Yan Yuanru woke up from a dream, and regretted painfully: "Aster, I betrayed you, I am a shameless beast." Then she turned to Mei Yu, "It's you, Mei Yu, you despicable woman You want me to kill Aster, but I listened to your advice and did such a wicked thing! Aster is an innocent girl, beautiful and kind, she gave me everything, He loves me so much, she wants to marry me. I was delusional, confused, and deceived by you, a femme fatale! I am willing to fool around with you, an ugly, shriveled, hunchbacked woman... I I hate you so much now, Mei Yu, I want to report everything that was pickled—"

Suddenly there was a scream, and Mei Yu had already jumped over the railing of the garrison building and fell down a high wall of more than ten feet. Yan Yuan hurriedly leaned on the railing to look down the garrison building, his eyes flashed with fear and despair.I saw a bandit from the Flying Tigers under the garrison tower jump off his horse, walk to the bloody body of Mei Yu, pull the earring from her ear, touch her wrist again, and stand angrily. He got up, drew out his sharp sword and slashed at her stomach cruelly, the stomach was split open, and all internal organs flowed out. Yan Yuan turned pale with fright, turned around like crazy, and shouted hoarsely: "It's over, the Flying Tigers are coming! Once Mei Yu dies, none of us can get that sum of gold!"

Di Gong sternly shouted: "Yan Yuan! You have to tell the truth! How did you kill Aster." Yan Yuan woke up from the terror, dripping with sweat.He said breathlessly: "I didn't kill Aster, I didn't kill her. Yesterday Meiyu came to tell me that Aster saw her taking gold from the silver cabinet, and she said that Aster's mouth must be sealed." , it is best to kill her. She handed me a sharp and long dagger, I hesitated. She called Aster to her room for interrogation, Aster denied that she had watched the lady. She was furious, Pishou snatched the dagger from my hand, glared at me fiercely, and ordered Aster to turn her face away. She sneered, and suddenly stabbed the dagger into Aster's back forcefully. I covered my face with my hands and staggered Stepping back a few steps, I saw her take off Aster's clothes, wipe off the blood on her back, put a piece of black plaster on the wound, and took out her own long white silk from the suitcase. The dress was put on by Aster. Then she told me to help Aster's body to lie on the bed, and she quickly tied the waistband of the long skirt into a bow."

Duke Di laughed and said, "Yes! It was this bow that exposed the truth about her murder. This kind of complicated bow is only worn by women who are usually used to wearing it, and this long skirt and this belt are exactly Mei Yu herself. Yes. But at first I was suspicious of her death because of Min’s subtle attitude. He insisted that I live in Meiyu’s room. The mystery of 'death'. As for you, Director Yan, your indifferent attitude towards the arrival of the Flying Tigers shows that you have already regressed. Everyone here is afraid of the imminent death, but you are a little detached, but in fact You don't seem like a courageous, knowledgeable, and resourceful man. I believe what you said just now. Meiyu is indeed the main culprit. She premeditated the murder and executed the knife herself. But you are a vicious accomplice, a sinister An accomplice in the deception, by law, you too shall be beheaded."

Yan Yuan suddenly burst out laughing: "My lord Di, have you not seen that the Flying Tigers have broken through the gate of the manor. At that time, you and I - a high official who solved the case and a criminal who committed the case ——I will go to Xitian together, and I will be a companion along the way. The ghost of Cuiju will not let Meiyu go, and Meiyu's ghost will not let you go." Di Gong calmly looked downstairs, when suddenly the sound of a giant log banging on the door stopped, and the Flying Tigers began to turn around and swarm to flee into the hill, with shouts and hooves.

In the distance, a large ship on the Yellow River was approaching at high speed, splashing waves several feet high on both sides of the bow.Soldiers lined up neatly on both sides, their spears heavily guarded, their armor shining, and the horses with golden saddles and iron bridles at the stern squirmed like a pile of white clouds. Yan Yuan felt puzzled and asked, "Lord Di, what's going on?" Di Gong replied indifferently: "Last night I sent a letter to Captain Zhechong in the Guanjun camp on the south bank of the Yellow River, asking him to send a battalion of cavalry and a team of engineers. Oak Forest is going to the big gap over there to build a pontoon bridge, and let my followers come here to meet me. I have already solved a murder case, and I have to continue on my way to the capital to take up my post. I can only send you to the government of this state Punishment. You don’t need to go to the capital to appeal for grievances, I am the new official minister of Dali Temple.”

With a weeping face, Yan Yuan asked hoarsely, "How did Master Di send the letter to the camp on the South Bank?" "I said earlier that I am the nemesis of the Flying Tigers, and I have my own Flying Tigers." Duke Dee replied with a smile, "I wrote twelve letters with the same content and handed them over to a A kite boy. I asked him to tie a letter on each kite, and then fly the kites into the sky one by one. Cut the string when the kites were high in the air. The wind was blowing from the north. 2. Two brightly colored kites will land on the south bank. If someone finds a letter tied to the kite, he will send the letter to the captain Zhechong in the camp in time. When the captain sees that it is my letter, he will immediately send troops to come Rescue. Alright, now the end of the Flying Tigers has come, Mr. Yan Yuan, pack your bags and follow me to the government to surrender!"
