Just as Zhang Dingguo was confronting Li Yuanfang, Di Renjie suddenly asked,""Who are you?"
"It is said that Di Gong's reasoning is divine and he often judges people's status by their temperament and clothes.”
It was unknown if Li Yuanfang was confident or if she really wanted to see Di Renjie's ability to confirm whether her injustice could be washed away. When Zhang Dingguo was pointing his sword at him, he still dared not answer Di Renjie's question directly. He was not afraid that Zhang Dingguo would be a little hot-tempered and directly stabbed him with his sword.
Perhaps Li Yuanfang, who was in good condition, was not inferior to Zhang Dingguo in terms of martial arts. However, Zhang Dingguo was confident that he could kill Li Yuanfang within ten moves when he faced the seriously injured Li Yuanfang.
However, Di Renjie did not signal Zhang Dingguo to make a move. Instead, he smiled.
"I think you didn't come here to play a guessing game with me, did you?”
"I just want to prove that Old Master Di is really as godly as the legends say, or is he just living up to his reputation?”
Facing Li Yuanfang's provocation, Di Renjie chuckled and said indifferently,""I'm already over sixty years old and have long passed the age of being competitive. Moreover, reputation is even more of a worldly possession to me. Besides, whether I, Di Huaiyuan, have an undeserved reputation or real talent is not something a young man like you can judge with just a few words.”
Although Fatty Di said that he had passed the age of being competitive, his tone was full of confidence!
"This should be considered a glib speech, right?”Li Yuan Fang didn't back down and instead continued to provoke him.
"Think whatever you want, but I already know who you are.”
"Oh? Please speak!" Although Li Yuan Fang pretended to be cold and aloof, she was still very nervous. After all, if Old Master Di was really as godly as the rumors said, he would be saved this time!
Di Renjie pondered for two seconds, as if he was organizing his words, and then said,""Straighten your back, straighten your legs, and place your hands on the table. This is the typical sitting posture of a low-ranking officer. (This is where Zhang Dingguo wants to ridicule. If a guerrilla general under Rank-5 is considered a low-level officer, then what is his grandfather and father, who were only officers until their death? However, this was probably because Li Yuan Fang had just been promoted to guerrilla general not long ago. He still had the habit of being a low-ranking officer, so he did not complain.）
Your face is haggard and pale, but your cheeks are flushed. According to medical theory, your blood essence is weak, and your Ethereal Fire is floating. This is caused by excessive blood loss. This can be confirmed by the blood seeping out of your left collar.
You sneaked into the room from the window to see me and Dingguo so late at night. You must not want others to know your whereabouts.
Then, who could a heavily injured officer be?
Li Yuan Fang, the captain of the guards escorting the Turkic diplomatic mission, the most wanted criminal of the imperial court!”
Although Zhang Dingguo had already pointed out the fact that the person was seriously injured, Di Renjie still told Li Yuanfang the details one by one to show off his reasoning ability so that Li Yuanfang would be convinced! As for the portrait on the wanted poster, the level of painting in ancient times was indeed impressive, but realism was still out of the question…
" If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it," Li Yuan Fang said in disbelief." That's right, I'm Li Yuan Fang."”
"Under such circumstances, you actually dared to come to see us alone. This shows that you have some courage. But why did you kill the Turkic diplomatic mission?”
Faced with Di Renjie's question, Li Yuanfang immediately asked,""Does Milord really think that I did it?”
"It doesn't matter what I think. What matters is the truth!”
"The truth is, I didn't collude with the criminals to kill the diplomatic mission!”
"Would I believe you?"
"Others might not be able to, but Milord definitely will!”
Di Renjie chuckled at Li Yuanfang's blind trust and said,""Even if my sect trusts you, I can't help you. I'm just a county magistrate of Pengze County.”
"I should say now."
"Oh, what do you mean?"
It was not that Di Renjie could not guess what Li Yuanfang meant. He was just wondering how a fugitive like Li Yuanfang knew that he would be responsible for investigating the murder of the diplomatic mission. Although this was not a top secret, only some high-ranking officials in the court knew about it. It was impossible for a fugitive to know about it!
Unless someone told him?
"Didn't Your Excellency return to the capital by imperial edict to investigate this case?”
"How did you know?" Di Renjie wanted to get information from her, so he pretended not to know.
"It's a secret." Li Yuanfang didn't fall for it and didn't want to say it for the time being.
Di Renjie pondered for another two seconds. He felt that it was better not to expose him." It seems that you came here today to tell me a story.”
"Not bad."
"Are you sure I will believe you?"
"Yes, I can."
"Why?"
"Based on my lord's intelligence and accurate judgment.”From this sentence, it could be seen that Li Yuanfang had been convinced by Di Renjie's amazing ability to solve cases.
"You're putting on a good show. It seems that I have to listen even if I don't want to. Dingguo, put away your sword too…"
In fact, when Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang were testing each other with words, Zhang Dingguo had been silently standing in front of Di Renjie with his sword in a vigilant state. Although Zhang Dingguo knew that nothing would happen, he still had to put on an act for Di Renjie.
Moreover, this was the first meeting between Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang, which was a very important historical moment in the TV series.
Compared to watching TV in the past, watching a live broadcast was indeed a different experience. This tense and somewhat exciting atmosphere could not be completely displayed through a few 2D images!
Therefore, Zhang Dingguo could not bear to ruin this scene, so he did not interrupt.
As Di Renjie chose to believe Li Yuanfang for the time being, Zhang Dingguo no longer needed to pretend. He put his sword back into the scabbard without any hesitation.
Then, the three of them sat around the table and listened to Li Yuanfen's story…
When Li Yuan Fang finished talking about the attack on the diplomatic mission at Shi He River, he said that he had protected Shibi Khan with great difficulty, but was attacked by Viper, and in the end, he still let Viper kill Shibi Khan.
Before Di Renjie could ask about the handkerchief, Zhang Dingguo asked first,""You mean Viper?"
"It's Viper. He's the scariest person I've ever met. Does General Zhang know this person?" Li Yuan Fang asked in surprise. If the existence of Viper was confirmed, then the possibility of him clearing his name would increase.
"Is Viper a person who wields a long sword, is dressed in black, has a black mask, and is wearing a black hat with a strange horn on each side?”Zhang Dingguo briefly explained the characteristics of the viper.
"That's right, it's this person!" Li Yuanfang said with some excitement.
"If it's really that person, Yuan Fang, it's not that I'm looking down on you, but with your martial arts, you shouldn't be able to survive, right?”
(Fortunately, the call came in time.)
