Chapter 118: The villain's shocking secret
Li Yuanfang got the order and chased in the direction of the pursuit of the sergeants!
Xu Huinan drew out the steel knife and held it horizontally in front of Di Renjie. He watched the surroundings vigilantly, for fear that someone would suddenly rush out of the darkness!
After a while, two sergeants came back carrying a man in civilian clothes, and a sergeant behind them was carrying a bundle of firewood!
Seeing that the man was limp and being held up by two sergeants, Di Renjie quickly stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Is he still alive?"
"Sir, they were just knocked unconscious by me!" Li Yuanfang separated from the crowd and walked out, "Just now, this guy was running so fast in the forest that we could hardly catch up with him, so I threw a stone at him and knocked him down.
Knock out!"
Xu Huinan had already put away the steel knife, clasped his fists with both hands, and said with admiration: "Brother Yuanfang is really amazing? In such a dark night, you can actually knock him unconscious with a stone. I admire you, I admire you!"
"Hahaha, brother Huinan, you're too generous, it's just a small trick!" Li Yuanfang said with a smile!
The sergeant trapped the man against a pillar. The man's head hung weakly. Di Renjie walked up to him and looked at him carefully!
This man was in his late twenties, his hair was hastily tied into a bun on his head, his skin was dark, and his clothes were made of coarse cloth with many patches, but there were still many holes of different sizes!
Seeing that he remained unconscious, Di Renjie took out a silver needle, stabbed it on the top of his head, and twisted it gently, making the man's body tremble slightly!
Suddenly, the man suddenly woke up, "Ah! Ah! Ah!" The man shouted repeatedly, his face full of fear, and he struggled desperately!
"Be honest!" the sergeant on the side slapped him and shouted loudly!
Di Renjie quickly tried to dissuade him, but the man still looked at Di Renjie in horror and made a whimpering sound!
"Don't be afraid, they are all officers and soldiers and will not hurt you!" Di Renjie said softly!
When the man heard Di Renjie's words, he seemed to calm down a little. He looked at Di Renjie blankly and stopped making any sound!
"What's your name? What do you do?" Di Renjie asked!
The man was silent for a long time and then said: "My name is Jiang Da, and I am a woodcutter!"
"Oh! Then why did you come here so late?" Di Renjie asked!
"Because there is a regular customer who is in a hurry to get firewood tomorrow, so I came to chop it all night. I saw a fire here, and I was curious, so I came over to have a look! Mr.
, I am not a bad person, please let me go!" Jiang Da begged!
"Oh, so that's it. Come on, untie the rope from his body!" Di Renjie said!
"Mr. Ge, no, what if we let him go and he wants to commit murder?" Xu Huinan said in shock!
Jiang Da was stunned for a moment, then looked at Di Renjie with longing eyes!
Di Renjie waved his hand, "With you two generals protecting me, why am I afraid that he will become a woodcutter? Untie him and bring him a bowl of water, Mr. Jiang? You must be thirsty after running for so long, right?"
Di Renjie looked at Jiang Da and asked with concern!
The sergeant on the side untied Jiang Da. Jiang Da moved his numb arms and stood there with a bow!
A sergeant brought a bowl of water. Jiang Da took it and drank it in one gulp. "Can I have another bowl?"
Di Renjie smiled, took the kettle from a sergeant, and placed it on the ground in front of Jiang Da. Jiang Da was not polite and squatted down to pour the water!
"You unruly man, the imperial envoy personally brought you water, but you didn't thank him? How rude!" Xu Huinan scolded angrily!
When Jiang Da heard this, he was stunned. He was holding the bowl and didn't know whether he should drink it or not!
Di Renjie smiled and said, "Huinan, don't scare him!" Then he said to Jiang Da: "Jiang Da, just drink, don't listen to him!"
When Jiang Da heard what Di Renjie said, he drank again!
Di Renjie was pacing back and forth in front of him. Suddenly Di Renjie asked, "When did you join the army?"
"I am two years old..." Jiang Da suddenly realized that he had made a mistake and quickly changed his words: "I am a woodcutter!"
"Hahaha! Two years ago, right?" Di Renjie laughed!
"No, I'm not a soldier, I'm just a woodcutter!" Jiang Da argued!
"Do you think you can deceive me? Look at the way you squat down to drink water. This is a squatting posture unique to our army in the Zhou Dynasty. You still say that you have not joined the army?" Di Renjie asked!
"This, this is too far-fetched? Just because of my squatting posture, you say I joined the army? You don't have any evidence at all!" Jiang Da retorted!
"Okay, then I will convince you. Huinan, find me a soldier under you who has served in the army for two years!" Di Renjie ordered!
"Yes!" Xu Huinan responded, and then shouted to his soldiers: "Who has been a soldier for two years, come out!"
Several sergeants ran past after hearing the order.
Come on, "I am! I am!" Several people responded one after another!
"Okay! You all come over here!" Di Renjie waved to them and said!
Several sergeants came to stand in front of Di Renjie, and Di Renjie said: "Stand in a row with Jiang Da and stretch out your hands. Jiang Da, you also stretch out your hands!"
Everyone was puzzled, but they still followed it!
Di Renjie said to Li Yuanfang and Xu Huinan: "Yuanfang, Huinan, you two go take a look at the calluses on their hands and see if they are exactly the same in location and size?"
Li Yuanfang and Xu Huinan looked at each other, walked up to several people, and checked the calluses on their hands one by one! When they checked Jiang Da, they couldn't help but look up at Jiang Da, and then walked back to Di Renjie, "Sir, Jiang Da
The calluses on the big hand and the calluses on the hands of several sergeants are exactly the same in terms of location, size, and even the degree of cracking!" Li Yuanfanghui reported!
"Haha, Jiang Da, what else do you have to say?" Di Renjie sneered!
"I...I..." Jiang Da hesitated, speechless for a moment!
"Tell me, which guard's sergeant are you from, or are you a sergeant from Helanyi?" Di Renjie asked!
Jiang Da raised his head and looked at Di Renjie. After thinking for a while, he said: "Just now, the general called you Mr. Ge, and also said that you were the imperial envoy? Seeing that you are so good at solving cases, I dare to ask, who are you, Mr. Di Ge, the deputy minister of the dynasty?
?”
Di Renjie was slightly startled, looked at Jiang Da, stroked his beard and nodded, "I am Di Renjie!"
Jiang Da quickly knelt down and saluted, "Kowtow to the elder!"
"Okay, get up and talk!" Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "Who are you?"
"The villain is Jiang Long, a member of Youjinwu's guard under General Liu Maoyuan!" Jiang Da said!
"What?" Di Renjie was suddenly shocked, "Are you Youjin Wuwei?"
"Exactly!" Jiang Long replied!
"Didn't your army disappear in the desert north of Shuozhou on its way back in triumph? Why did you appear here?" Di Renjie asked in surprise!
"Triumph? Missing? Mr. Ge, why can't you understand what you are saying? Our army has been completely wiped out less than a month after entering Mobei. Even General Liu was captured alive by the Turks. Why?
Triumphant?" Jiang Long said in shock!
