Chapter 18 Chapter Fourteen
Wei Cheng sat on the ledger to make accounts. ——After Dai Ning died, he has not hired anyone yet.He was putting the copper coins in an iron box into the sleeve of his robe, when he suddenly saw Di Gong and four or five imperial guards driving directly to the door of the inn, they hurriedly came down to the tent and bowed to meet them.
"Did any guests come to visit Shopkeeper Lang just now?" Duke Di asked anxiously.
Wei Cheng shook his head blindly, shuddering, unable to utter a sound.
Di Gong immediately rushed to the first house where Lang Liu lived in the west hall.The door was bolted back, and there was no sound in the room.Zou Liwei stepped forward and knocked on the door a few times, but when he didn't get an answer, he asked Junjian to open it.The two soldiers shouted and knocked down the door.The boxes and cabinets in the room were overturned, and it was in a mess. The ceiling and the carved walls on all sides were broken.Di Gong suddenly saw Lang Liu hanging upside down behind the cabinet mirror, naked, and a blood-stained square silk scarf wrapped his head.Zou Liwei couldn't help but cursed loudly.Di Hui stepped forward and leaned over to untie the silk scarf, blood immediately rushed down and splashed everywhere.He touched Lang Liu's chest, there was still a little warmth, but his pulse had long since disappeared.He couldn't help but turn pale and cry in his heart.
"Bringing Lang Liu's body back to the army stronghold, Jingzhou regretted the carelessness. The gang of Yashi must have sneaked into the inn through the back door of the garden. They agreed to meet Lang Liu's people on the river beach at the time of the next day. It turned out to be a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Among Lang Liu's servants, there must be a spy from the Yajiao, who listened carefully to the report and learned that Dai Ning had not handed over the beads and was forced to die, so he refused to show up to see Lang Liu. Afterwards, he suspected that Lang Liu and Dai Ning had done secret business twice, and Dai Ning secretly gave the beads to Lang Liu, but Mingzhong pretended not to steal them.——Lang Liu killed Dai in order to silence her. Ning, not only took back the reward given to Dai Ning, but also monopolized the beads, and deceived the servants, and could fool him. Therefore, Er Yaji decided to lead people into the Blue Bird Inn to interrogate Lang Liu directly. , to snatch the beads." Di Gong comprehensively analyzed the reasons and made judgments one by one.
Zou Licheng asked: "I don't know if the surname Huo has found the bead string?"
"It's impossible for them to find the beads here." Di Gong pondered for a moment, and then said: "Lang Liu didn't see the beads, so how could he play tricks with Dai Ning? If Dai Ning has given the beads to Lang Liu, and Lang Liu Liu intends to silence her, she only needs to be killed with one blow, why bother to torture him in every possible way."
Lang Liu's body was covered with a bed sheet by two soldiers and carried out of the guest room. Mr. Di felt confused.Lang Liu's death also cut off Dai Ning's information, lost both Lang Liu and Dai Ning, but where to find the string of beads?
Zou Liwei suddenly said: "Heh, there is one more thing that I almost forgot. The person I sent to Shilipu has returned, and it has been verified that Mrs. Wei and Huang have not been there."
Di Gong nodded dumbly, without saying a word.He felt sleepy all over his body, six spirits.The case, far from being trivial, was simple--and at this point all possible avenues were cut short.
"After I left the barracks, how did those two brocade clothes in the palace let you off?" Duke Di asked absently.
"Liu Bingguan set up a fake scene of escape, without revealing any flaws. Those two Jinyi didn't have General Kang's warrant, so they had to push the boat along the way, so as not to attack."
Mr. Di smiled slightly: "That's very good. I want to sleep well tonight. You guys go back to the barracks. By the way, leave a few soldiers in the store to check the guest register. If there are any clues, I will try to inform you."
Mr. Di went back to the room, drank a pot of hot tea, felt the fragrance, refreshing, and calmed down to reminisce carefully about the legendary plots of the past two days.Obviously, the biggest link in the case is the jade bead string of the third princess.The three princesses are certainly the jewel in the palm of the Holy Majesty today. She is much loved and enjoys all the glory and wealth in the world.But she was very lonely, with no information, and the only person she could trust was Madam Wang.And the person who wanted to harm her was very insidious and vicious, and he deliberately set up secret schemes.They are well aware of the importance of this jade bead string, the three princesses will drive back to the capital tomorrow afternoon, the theft of the jade bead string may arouse the suspicion of the Holy Majesty, and this suspicion may affect the third princess' marriage future.In case the Holy Majesty is ignorant of the inside story and improperly judged, the situation of the three princesses is deeply worrying.The villains are using this trick to achieve their despicable goals, and the kind and pure third princess has entrusted her future and life to me. Now I must do my best to get back the jade bead string as soon as possible, and relieve the three princesses. Die.
Judging from the greed, cruelty, and open and secret struggles of the gang of Yajiao and Lang Liu, it can be seen that the jade bead string has not yet fallen into their hands.Dai Ning stole the string of jade beads, only to be courteous to Wei Huang, he hid the beads, but was killed by Lang Liu himself.Now the first thing to do is to find out where Dai Ning's hidden pearls are.Imagine what precautions Dai Ning would take after stealing the beads that night. Where might he hide the beads?Right now I have to find out where Dai Ning hid the ball before the case of the jade bead string is exposed, and get back the bead first, so I can return it to the third princess before noon tomorrow.
Di Gong suddenly had an idea, although he was not very sure, he might as well give it a try.Time is running out, so he can't help he linger, for no reason.
