Yuan Fang, how do you see?

Di, Li and Zeng changed into casual clothes and left Di's mansion.

Li Yuanfang couldn't hold back anymore and asked, "My lord, where are we going?"

"The dragon shocked the Wu family."

"What? My lord, hasn't Long Jingwu already absconded with money? What are you doing there?"

"You can't say it, you can't say it now!" Di Renjie waved his hand.

According to the address displayed on the official file, Di Renjie and his party arrived at Long Jingwu's home.To the surprise of the three of them, the dilapidated courtyard could no longer be dilapidated. The good places were broken bricks and broken tiles, while the bad places were simply dead bamboo and thatch.

The three of them took a few steps forward and were stopped by two men who looked like soldiers. "Who's here?" one of them asked.

"We are friends of Mr. Long Jing Wulong, the doctor of Duzhi, and we came to visit him at his home." Di Renjie replied.

"Friends?" Another soldier showed contempt on his face, "I think you are here to report to the corrupt official's wife!" He said, winking at the person next to him, and the two of them stepped forward together, He wanted to capture Di Renjie and the three of them.Li Yuanfang twisted his hands and kicked his feet, and one of them fell to the ground.

The other saw that he was not Li Yuanfang's opponent, so he blew the whistle hanging on his chest with a "beep", and soon an official-like person led several strikers.

When the whistleblower saw the official, he arched his hands and said, "Lieutenant General Li, these people are here to report to the corrupt official, and the younger ones will lead the way to arrest them, but there is a trick here, and they will be killed in three or two strikes." Throw Zhu Wu there."

"You are such a bunch of trash, what use are you for? You can't even deal with a broken reporter!" The man called "Lieutenant Li" cursed, and walked straight up to Li Yuanfang, pulling his hands away, trying to put Li Yuanfang's wrist was twisted, how could Li Yuanfang not notice it, and seeing that he was about to bend his wrist to Lieutenant General Li, he flew up and kicked him directly in the back, the man threw his hands forward, and a dog gnawed mud .

Lieutenant General Li staggered to his feet and cursed: "Grandma, you dare to touch Grandpa and me. Grandpa is an official of the imperial court. Are you tired of working! If we let our superiors know about this, I guarantee that you will not be able to afford it." Let's go."

"Oh?" Li Yuanfang had a half-smile but not a smile, "Is it an official of the imperial court? How old is it? Look at you, you are a military officer, which guard do you belong to? Who is your superior?"

"How do you know the imperial court's rank system? Grandpa, I'll scare you to death when I say it. We are under the fifth rank, subordinate to General You Weiwei Wang Xiaojie①."

"Oh, so it's brother Xiaojie's subordinate!"

"Yuanfang!" Di Renjie waved his hand at Li Yuanfang, and pouted again, signaling him to take out the certificate.

"How dare you call our general brother, who are you?"

"I'm not talented, I'll give you my official certificate." Li Yuanfang said, took out his official certificate and handed it over.

"Procurator Qianniuwei...General...General, ah! General, please forgive me. I am so blind and offended. Please forgive me." Lieutenant General Li knelt on his knees and made a gesture of pleading guilty.

"Stern and soft, fearful and respectful, with the face of a villain." Li Yuanfang scolded angrily, "Is this how Brother Xiaojie taught you all the time?"

Lieutenant General Li stammered in fright: "No...it's not related...it's not related to Wang...General Wang...."

Seeing that Li Yuanfang did not forgive, several soldiers knelt together and begged: "I hope the general will forgive you."

Di Renjie said from the side: "Yuan Fang, the purpose of our trip is not to get angry with Xiaojie's subordinates, just let them go for now!"

"For my lord's sake, I will let you off for the time being, and I have to tell brother Xiaojie later, let him take care of you beasts in clothes." Li Yuanfang said this, but his anger was still hard to calm down.

"Yes, yes, the general taught you the lesson." General Li stood up obediently, and pointed carefully at Di Renjie, who was in the midst of their misery, and asked Li Yuanfang: "General, this is..."

"This is Mr. Di Ge, the Prime Minister of the court, and this is Zeng Tai, the governor of Henan Province. His Majesty has just ordered us to investigate the case of Long Jingwu fleeing with money, but we still know little about the details of the case. So we want to pay a visit to Long Jingwu's wife, is it convenient or not?"

"Convenience, convenience." As he spoke, Lieutenant General Li opened the courtyard door for the three of them.

The main room of the Dragon House.

Lieutenant General Li led Di, Li, and Zeng to a relatively good house in the house, and said, "Master Ge, General, and Inspector, now Long Jingwu's wife, Mrs. Lin, is under house arrest. There are 20 people from You Weiwei lined up in a shift, three shifts of guards, and General Wang told the humble staff that if there are suspicious people, etc., they will patrol and interrogate them."

"I see, don't look at Xiaojie's carelessness in normal times, but this time he is more cautious! Thank you, Lieutenant General, you go down first." Di Renjie waved his hand with a smile, Li Lieutenant turned and left.

Di Renjie gently opened the door, and Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai followed in.A woman in a coarse cloth dress and a wooden double fish hairpin turned around slowly, and the other three were taken aback.The woman in front of her, although she didn't wear makeup, still couldn't make her face like a misty apricot blossom fade away. Not to mention she is a country and a city, she is also a rare beauty--this person is Long Jingwu's wife, Mrs. Lin .The corners of her eyes were slightly red and swollen, as if she had just cried.Mrs. Lin bowed her knees and worshiped: "My lord, all blessings ②."

"Madam Long, you don't need to be formal. This time, I came here to ask a question..."

"My lord," Lin interrupted Di Renjie's words: "My lord, I know what you want to ask. I wrote a poem myself here. I don't know if my lord would like to listen to it. What Elder Ge wants to know is all in poetry."

"Forget it, Ma'am, please tell me."

"The husband is seeking state affairs in the temple, but how can the concubine know about it in the red chamber.

30 silver is missing, so why bother to delay the family.

A handu stands in the mud, and the cold wind blows from the walls.

A true gentleman is frank and honest, and a mighty villain is jealous. "

"It seems that Madam is really kind-hearted and has a good conversation!" Di Renjie applauded and applauded. "Ma'am, you want to explain that you don't know about Mr. Long's escape with the money, right?" Di Renjie stroked his beard again.

But I saw that Mrs. Lin sighed, and then said quietly: "As for the matter of the master, I am a woman who never asks too much, but the adults should understand a little bit in their hearts when looking at the family background of the concubine! Except for the master, which one of the officials above the fourth rank has a golden house, a silver house, and a thousand hectares of fertile fields and beautiful ponds? But the master is always upright and upright, so my husband and I have been living in this dilapidated house and broken courtyard among."

"Yes, Master Long's poverty makes us ashamed. To tell you the truth, Madam, when I first came here, I thought I went to the wrong place." Zeng Tai took the words and said.

"Madam, before Master Long left, did you not say anything or leave anything behind?"

"My lord, the concubine has already said that there was no sign before the master left, and the master did not say anything to the concubine, otherwise the concubine would persuade the master no matter what, now the only person left here is the concubine, Sir, why bother to be a concubine in a woman's family?"

"Since Madam doesn't want to say anything, I don't want to make it difficult for you. I am Di Renjie, the prime minister of the court. I have just taken over this case. I will leave for Muping tomorrow at noon to investigate. If Madam thinks of anything else, I can do it before noon tomorrow." Go to Di's mansion to look for this pavilion. Madam, please don't be too sad, it's better to take care of your health, I won't stay here for a long time."

"My lord, please go. I'm sorry that I can't send you away." Mrs. Long knelt down and bowed gracefully.

The woods in front of the Dragon House.

"My lord." Yuan Fang saw that he had walked out of the Dragon House for more than a hundred steps and came to a grove of trees, so he stopped Di Renjie.

"What? Is there something wrong, Yuan Fang?"

"My lord, what do you think about the humble job, we just ran for nothing today?"

"You think so?"

"Isn't it? Although Long Jingwu's wife, Mrs. Lin, has a little literary talent and can compose poems, she seems to never ask about Long Jingwu's business. How could she know about the 30 taels of silver?" What's more? What's more, Long Jingwu's family is so poor that he doesn't seem like someone who can embezzle and accept bribes! The household department is a fat job, if he wanted to be corrupt, wouldn't he have done it long ago?"

"Oh! Yuanfang! You are blindfolded by your own subjective assumptions!"

"My lord, what do you mean by that?" Li Yuanfang was puzzled.

"The way to solve a case, you have been with me for so many years, and you have learned a lot. As early as in Wuping County, Jiangzhou, I told you that when investigating a case, the eyes cannot be believed. What you believe is your heart. Only when your heart feels it, is it correct, otherwise you will not be able to draw correct conclusions. What we have to focus on now is definitely not just the matter of Long Jingwu absconding with money. Di Renjie saw that Li Yuanfang was still puzzled, and then said: "Let me put it another way, why did the former Mouping county magistrate Long Jingwen die? Is his death a suicide or a homicide? His death is related to Long Jingwu's." What is the internal connection between absconding with money? What kind of role does Long Jingwu's wife, Mrs. Lin, play here? Is she really ignorant of these things or is she deliberately concealing them? If she deliberately concealed them, why? We have to solve the mysteries one by one. Yuan Fang, this case should not be underestimated, it is by no means simpler than any case we have handled before. The water here is very deep!"

"It's still an adult who is thoughtful, but a humble and dull person!" Li Yuanfang admired sincerely.

"Yuan Fang, it's not that simple in this Dragon House."

"That's what my lord means..." Li Yuanfang had already faintly sensed what Di Renjie was going to say.

"Yes, tonight, you can stay here and watch the show!" "Yes, the humble job will be done well." Li Yuanfang said vowedly.

Di Fu.

Di Renjie and Zeng Tai went back to the mansion together, but Ruyan was already waiting at the door.Seeing only two figures, he said, "Uncle, Uncle Zeng, are you back? Uncle, why didn't Yuan Fang come back with you?"

Seeing that Ruyan was in such a hurry to ask Yuanfang, Di Renjie couldn't help but teased Ruyan's young daughter for being a puppet, and burst out laughing.

"Ruyan! Yuanfang has been sent by her mentor to monitor Longzhai." Zeng Tai replied on Di Renjie's behalf.

Hearing such an answer, Ruyan had no choice but to give up and went back to her room unhappy.
