Chapter 22 Chapter Twenty Two

After Fang's arrest and sales officer returned his order, he went to Yading's next room to meet Wu Feng again to talk. Wu Feng was worried about the fact that Bai Lan was still missing.The rest are of no interest at all.He had long forgotten the pain of the whip and the prison, and Fang Zheng said; "I only think of Bailan in my heart. Once I find her, I will invite a big media to come to propose a marriage and make a date with her for a hundred years." Fang Zheng nodded silently.Thinking about how such a high-ranking disciple wanted to marry his eldest daughter forever in Qin and Jin Dynasties, he felt secretly happy.But Fang is an old-fashioned person.Everything follows the rules.Pay attention to respect and etiquette.It seems that such a lifelong event for children.In his opinion.Wu Feng must first ask three matchmakers and six evidence to agree with him, and then he can talk about marriage in front of him.

Hong Canjun sent him to look for information about Mrs. Li, but he was also constrained by etiquette and refused to go in person, so he asked his second daughter Hei Lan to inquire on his behalf.he thought to himself.Since ancient times, men and women have been incompatible with each other. If a man is looking for a woman everywhere, he will inevitably have nothing to do with his own interests. Seeing Wu Feng talking like this, Fangzheng quickly changed the subject and said: "I think about it, the master will definitely have other arrangements tomorrow, and then send someone to look for it. However, since you can draw a portrait of my Jurchen, I would like you to draw a picture of her Look at the graphics in the west, north, and south squares, maybe you can get some clues about her."

Wu Feng said: "Wonderful! I'll go back and draw." After saying that, he turned around and left.Fang went to take his hand and said: "Wu Feng, Master Di will clear up your grievances, you should ask to see the master, thank you before leaving!" Wu Feng was not willing to listen, he said, "It's not too late to thank you in person at another day", and hurried to go. Di Gong silently ate a light meal in the Neiya study, holding a teacup in his hand, and said to Hong Canjun: "Go and call Qiao Tai, Ma Rong and Tao Gan, and I will analyze the case of Ding Huguo's death with you. clear."

The four relatives came together with the cadres. Di Gong leaned on the back of the chair and first briefly described the section of his secret trial of Ding Yi. Tao Gan shook his head when he heard this, and sighed: "Master, this is the first time we have encountered such a strange and complicated case. It is thanks to the master who is good at learning from wind and rain, and has a clear understanding of the details, so that he is able to listen to justice today." Di Gongdao: "At first glance, it seems that we have no clue, but in fact it is not. It is only because the local background and the real crime are entangled that we do not know the truth and the truth, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false. The hypocrisy is clear at a glance. There are actually three cases in front of us: first, the assassination of Ding Huguo, second, the inheritance dispute of the Ni family, and third, the disappearance of Bai Lan. Cases such as death abroad should be regarded as local background conditions, and have little to do with the above three cases.”

Hong Canjun asked: "In the case of Ding Huguo, all the signs at the beginning showed that Wu Feng was the perpetrator, but the master didn't attack him immediately, why?" "Ding Yi met us for the first time. He acted suspiciously. After I revealed my identity to him, he was terrified. I thought about it, and Ding Yi also heard about my false reputation of being sentenced to prison. I was afraid in my heart, and for a moment I wanted to suppress the evil thoughts of killing my own father and blaming others. After thinking about it again, I felt that my plot was flawless; and the opportunity was not lost, so I might as well give it a try, so I invited Ma Rong and I to go there As soon as the teahouse was told, it made up a story about Wu Feng deliberately harming Ding Huguo."

Ma Rong said angrily: "Ding Yi speaks so vividly that he has deceived me." Di Gong smiled slightly and said: "Later Ding Huguo died by drinking a knife, but Ding Yi knew nothing about it. Today I was interviewing him again in class, I suddenly took out the wolf hair and pointed the open end of the pen barrel to his face. Door. If Ding Yi touches this pen and realizes that there is a hidden murder weapon hidden in the tube, he will have to expose his flaws and expose himself. "Ding Huguo died not from the poison of preserved fruit, but from the poisonous blade. Ding Yi must have been puzzled by this unsolved mystery just like us. At the beginning, he must have racked his brains to figure out the mystery; his Will the mistress Wang Yuehua intervene? Will someone know that he has the intention of killing his father, so A Qi wants to kill his father first, and then ask him for reward? Ding Yi thought over and over again, and decided to follow the original plan , take Wu Feng as a scapegoat. Once the government convicts Wu Feng of murder, he doesn't have to worry about the real murderer coming to intimidate or blackmail him. In this way, he went straight to the county government to sue Wu Feng, thinking that Although his plan was fabricated out of thin air, it was also well-arranged, but he did not realize that since he resorted to deceit and framed innocent people, he would inevitably be full of loopholes and be vulnerable to a single blow."

Tao Gan interjected: "Master, I didn't expect so much, I only know that Wu Feng committed the crime, and the paper box containing poisoned candied dates is the proof." Di Gongdao: "It's just that the evidence of the crime is too clear and obvious, which makes people suspicious. Moreover, this action is also incompatible with Wu Feng's nature, so I know there must be fraud in it. Although I don't have a good impression of Wu Feng, he is a Talents. Such people are usually informal, suave, and often sloppy with daily affairs, but once they encounter important matters, they will concentrate on them and be meticulous. If Wu Feng intends to poison someone, he will never use him as a paint. Garcinia cambogia , and will never leave a mark on the carton. How can he be negligent and leave a handle on such a life-threatening matter?"

Tao Gan nodded, and said: "I put nine non-toxic candied dates in the box, Wu Feng ate one and wanted to eat another one, I thought, Wu Feng is innocent, from this we can draw a conclusion." Di Gongdao: "Exactly! Let's go on in order. After Ding Yi reported the case, in order to compare the personality and character of the two parties, I went to interview Wu Feng. As soon as I saw him, I knew that Wu Feng was not Like a premeditated murderer, it is nonsense for Ding Yi to say that he murdered because of a feud. I guess this case was committed by a third party. Ding Huguo has committed a heinous crime, and such sinners through the ages must have many grievances. As a result of his life, it is not surprising that he bought it. Ding Yi used this to blame Wu Feng. Ding Yi falsely accused Wu Feng. At the beginning, I guessed that it was because of the jealousy between the two. In Wu Feng's paintings, a portrait of a woman appeared repeatedly. Ding Yi wrote a love letter and gave a erotic poem to a woman. I thought the two of them fell in love with the same woman and were rivals in love. We found preserved fruit contaminated with gamboge poison in the dead man's lottery. It was even more difficult for Ding Yi to frame Wu Feng. It is obvious. Indeed, in order to get rid of a rival in love, a person would never take his own father's life, and Ding Yi must have made arrangements in advance so that his father would find out that the candied dates are poisonous before he eats them."

Hong Canjun interjected: "It turns out that the master excluded Wu Feng as a criminal, and that's the reason!" Di Gongdao: "I thought that since Ding Yi intentionally framed others, it can be seen that he has bad conduct and crooked intentions. Later I found out that Wu and Wu are not enemies in love. If that is the case, why did Ding Wei decide to frame Wu Feng? The answer is only One is that Ding Yi himself killed his own father, and wanted Wu Feng to take the blame for his death. I think there are two murders for Ding Yi to kill his father: one is a small dagger, which has worked, but how to use it is unknown; The second is poisoned preserved fruit. In case the organ in charge of the sum fails, Ding Huguo will die if he eats candied dates. But what is the reason for Ding Yi’s patricide? Is this related to his mistress? For this reason, I sent Heilan for the second time Go to Ding's house to find out the truth."

Di Gong stopped for a while, took a few sips of tea, and said: "But I was troubled by an abnormal phenomenon. Since Ding Yi took pains to lead the crime of poisoning to Wu Feng, why didn't he do something about the hidden weapon of the organ? , and also pointed the finger at Wu Feng? I racked my brains for this, but I couldn't figure it out. So I returned to the first thought, that is, Ding Huguo is an unknown third party Unfortunately, this act coincides with Ding Yi's plan to poison his biological father to death. Usually I don't believe in coincidences, but this time I can't help but believe in them."

Qiao Tai said: "Master just said that Ding Huguo has many grievances and many old enemies, so Ni Shouqian avenged eight hundred men's strange grievances through the ages, and ended up killing him. This coincidence is not accidental." Di Gong nodded, and said: "Ding Huguo was killed by a third party. Although I don't know who this person is, at least I dispelled my doubts about Ding and Wu. Later, I found out that Ding Yi deliberately killed his father. At this point, the part of Ding Huguo's murder case involving Ding Yi is finally clarified." Hong Canjun took over the words: "Master once said, 'I already have half of the case of General Ding in my heart', so this is what he was referring to. I learned from Hei Lan that Ding Huguo's fourth wife, Wang Yuehua, was young and coquettish, while Ding Yi was He is romantic and lecherous, but he keeps guards day and night. Not only do his erotic poems contain self-confessions such as "no chapters and codes, forgetting the rules and regulations", but also the ironclad evidence of "Moon Flower Heart and Liver". The master knows that Ding Yi and Wang Yuehua committed adultery. Incest. In order not to be a dewy couple, Ding Yi was murderous and wanted to kill his father." Di Gongdao: "Exactly! Who is the other half of this case, that is, who is the real perpetrator? If Ni Shouqian didn't engrave his study name on the pen tube, I'm afraid I won't be able to find out in this lifetime. Ding Huguo's study is closed. Locked, the murderer can't get in and out, so he must have been injured by a hidden weapon of a certain mechanism, but the hidden weapon was hidden in the pen tube, but I have no way of knowing. Ni Shouqian is so smart, I can't match it, and I feel inferior. The dagger shoots out of the pen tube After that, the spring is loosened and tightly attached to the pipe wall, even if you look inside, you can't see the slightest trace. "I visited Mr. Heyi in the deep mountains, and learned that 'Ning Xinyu' was the name of Ni Shouqian's study. I suddenly remembered that the name of the study was also engraved on the Langhao pen tube used by Ding Huguo before his death. I also thought of Tao Gan's blowpipe. When I said it, I wondered if a hollow pen tube could be used for the same purpose? Recalling the fact that the wax table on Ding Huguo's calligraphy case had shifted, Fang deduced that Ding Huguo moved closer to the right wax table and burned the pen. At the time of Mao, the barrel of the pen was heated, and the solidified substance such as rosin in the barrel melted, and the spring opened, and the dagger flew out, and Ding Huguo died." Qiao Tai asked: "If Ding Yi is shameless and doesn't take the blame, what should he do?" Di Gongdao: "I'll take this pair of thieves to the court for interrogation, and it won't be too late to punish them." Di Gong stroked his long beard, looked around the four assistants, saw that everyone was speechless, and said: "Now, I will tell you about the second case, that is, the case of Ni Shouqian's will." The four relatives turned their heads to look at the scrolls on the wall at the same time. Di Gongdao: "The posthumous text originally hidden in the interlayer of the scroll was left by Ni Shouqian to divert Ni Qi's attention. After Ni Qi found out, he did not destroy the scroll, but inserted a false will made up by himself into the scroll. In the interlayer of the scroll, the scroll was pasted again and then returned to Mrs. Ni. He never expected that the clue to find the real will would be hidden on the landscape painting!" Mr. Di stood up and walked towards the painting scroll. The four relatives followed him and left their seats to stand behind him. Di Gongdao: "I have long guessed that this painting is somehow related to Ni Shouqian's labyrinth. This is the purpose of my visit to the labyrinth." Tao Gan hurriedly asked: "Master, you think the two are related, how can you tell?" Di Gong replied: "The reason for this is actually simple. These two things are what Ni Shouqian wanted to preserve at all costs. He tried every means to prevent the scroll from being destroyed after his death, and he strictly ordered Ni Qi not to change any plants in the maze. Wood, one brick and one stone, how can there be no reason in between? "At first I thought this painting was a secret map of Ni Shouqian's Bieye in the eastern suburbs. From the picture, I could find the place where his real will was hidden in the Bieyuan. There are similarities, and I didn't realize the mystery until last night!" The four relatives were speechless and waited for Di Gong to break through the mechanism with a word. Di Gongdao: "At first glance, the mountains in the painting are back and forth, with white clouds floating around, wood and space alternated, and winding paths leading to secluded places. But if you look carefully, you will see that there are many strange things in the picture. Look, the houses in the painting There are several, dotted among the mountains and mountains, and there are mountain roads in front of the houses, except for the high pavilion in the upper right corner. It stands on the side of the mountain spring and has no way to reach it. I think that this high pavilion is different, and there must be something strange in it. . "Look at the trees in this painting later, there are also strange things in them, I just don't know that the four of you can see them." Tao Gan and Hong Canjun looked closely for half a day, then shook their heads and admitted defeat.Qiao Tai and Ma Rong knew they could do nothing, so they only looked at Di Gongpo with admiration. Di Gongdao: "The large and small houses in the painting are surrounded by bushes. It is not difficult to see that the clusters of trees are painted in a very messy manner, but the painting of more than a dozen pine trees is meticulous, and each one is clearly displayed on the picture. Take a closer look. , the clusters of pine trees are arranged in order of number. There are two trees at the beginning of the mountain road on the top of the mountain, three trees at the mountainside below, four trees at the place where the mountain road passes through the mountain spring, and five trees near the pavilion in the upper right corner. I think this is The fourteen pine trees are actually the signs leading the way into the palace, and the two on the top of the mountain are the pair of ancient pine trees we saw at the entrance of the maze." Tao Gan said: "In this way, this painting is a guide for entering the palace. With it, you can easily reach a small house or a small pavilion built by Ni Shouqian in the palace." Di Hui shook his head and said, "No, it's not entirely so. Yes, this painting points out the way to a pavilion in the palace. Ni Shouqian would enter the palace almost every day during his lifetime. It is clear that there is a pavilion in the palace for him to read and paint. Painting The tall pavilion in the middle refers to the pavilion in the palace, and you are right. But you can reach this pavilion just by following the winding path in the palace. , The secret room of faith. If a person with knowledge and courage can go here through a deep winding path, Ni Shouqian will never hide the secret in it. "Now, let me ask you, why in Ni Shougan's painting did the mountain road turn sharply north in the middle? And why did the second half of the mountain road be marked with a mountain spring?" Without hesitation, Tao Gan replied: "This is a deliberate act of mystery, which makes people's eyes dazzled." "No! Ni Shouqian marked the corner with four pine trees. It is a painstaking move that cannot be ignored. From then on, the mountain road disappeared, and the clear spring flowed down. Moreover, there was a small bridge over the flying spring. This especially shows that this place is a An important turning point. I think about it, people who enter the palace here must leave the regular road in the palace and enter the shortcut leading to the pavilion. This pavilion is not near the palace road, but hidden in a certain place deep in the palace." Tao Gan said: "What a secret room! If you don't know the shortcut, you can't find this pavilion if you run in the palace alone and break your legs, but Ni Shouqian or someone who knows the shortcut may be able to reach it with just a lift of his legs." Di Gongdao: "That makes sense! When Ni Shouqian enters the palace every day, how can he control the Pantuo trail and turn around? Therefore, I conclude that there must be a shortcut in the palace. "Let's look down from the top along the Huazhong Mountain Road again!" Di Gong pointed to the mountain hut with his index finger, and there were pine trees on each side of the hut. "This is the entrance to the labyrinth. Let's look down along the stone steps. The first three-way intersection has no special meaning, and it doesn't matter whether you go left or right. At the second three-way intersection, there are three pine trees standing on the left side of the road. It indicates that we have to keep to the left in the palace. Further down is the mountain spring, which tells us that we must leave the normal road in the palace here. There are four pine trees as signs. I think, just as shown in the painting, we You have to find a shortcut between the two pine trees in the middle. Follow the shortcut and go forward, and you will see five pine trees, three on one side and two on the other, Ni Shouqian's secret study must be here!" Speaking of this, Di Gong moved his index finger to the high pavilion at the upper right of the scroll, tapped twice, returned to the desk and sat down. Di Gong said again: "If my estimate is correct, we can find Ni Shouqian's official documents, deeds, vouchers, letters and other secret documents in the pavilions in the palace. His real will will naturally be among them." Ma Rong said: "I have to believe this, and I can't believe it completely. However, I am ready to go to the palace to try it at any time. But we still have the case of Bai Lan's disappearance in hand, so we must not ignore it and ignore it! " Di Gong frowned when he heard this, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "This case is really a headache! To this day, we still don't know where Bai Lan is. Fang Zheng is a man of integrity. , I love him very much. There are good people like him in the Tang Dynasty, why worry about the country's prosperity? Now that his eldest daughter has not been found, I feel even more worried." Mr. Di wiped his face with his hands, and continued: "After dinner today, we will discuss how to find Bailan here, and now the case is about to be finalized, and we can devote all our efforts to investigate the case soon. "Now let's go to the labyrinth and see if I just predicted that there is a shortcut in the palace. If we find Ni Shouqian's will in the palace, we can attach it to Ni Qi's rebellion case report, Ministry of Household Affairs When Ni Shan's property is confiscated, Ni Shan's share will be kept. "Qiaotai, your mission this afternoon is to dispatch troops to prevent the Hu soldiers from attacking the city tonight. Hong Canjun, Ma Rong and Tao Gan will follow me to the maze."
