Fang Qian replied with a look of realization," Sir, think about it. The people on the stage are the villagers of the Big Willow. If it wasn't for them, who else would risk their lives to save them at night?"”
However, Di Renjie obviously did not believe him. He said to Hu Jinghui,""Change your clothes. Let's go to the north gate and take a look.”
Fang Qian's expression changed and he hurriedly said,""Milord, the rioters have just retreated, and the government troops are cleaning up the scene. It might be dangerous to go now.”
However, Di Renjie did not fall for his trick. Instead, he looked at Fang Qian with a smile.
"Lord Fang arrived in time just as the turmoil started. It's enough to show your diligence. If Lord Fang is so hardworking, how can I slack off as an imperial envoy? Let's not talk anymore. We'll set off now.”
Fang Qian nodded, but his expression was a little ugly.
"The city gate of Youzhou City has been broken by a mob. Lord Fang is really good at governing the city. I'm afraid that a group of mobs could take Youzhou City.”
Di Feng said lightly as he passed by Fang Qian, but it made Fang Qian's expression change instantly. Just as he was about to explain, he saw that he had already left.
Looking at Di Feng's back, Fang Qian asked the chief historian beside him: "Who is this person? Why didn't I see him reveal his identity?"
"It's said that he's Di Renjie's nephew," the Youzhou Chief Historian whispered.”
Fang Qian frowned. There was no one in this family who was kind.
Under the escort of the Military and Military Department of Youzhou Province, Di Renjie's team quickly arrived at the execution ground outside the north gate of Youzhou City.
There were many corpses of soldiers being collected by the soldiers who had arrived.
The scene was a mess, and there were dead bodies everywhere.
Di Renjie got off the carriage and walked around the corpses without hesitation, carefully checking his surroundings.
Suddenly, he saw a round horseshoe mark under his feet. It was deeply embedded in the soil of the grassland and was soaked in blood.
Immediately, he frowned and took out a white cloth from his bosom. He placed it on the horseshoe mark that was faintly seeping with bright red blood and copied it.
Fang Qian, who was at the side, looked at Hu Jinghui in confusion, but he was ignored by Hu Jinghui's cold eyes.
Di Renjie put away the white cloth and went to the stage with the others.
After checking the corpse of a fallen soldier, Di Renjie muttered to himself,""What powerful rebels!"
"These rebels are really guilty. I'll immediately send soldiers to clean them up.”
Fang Qian said indignantly behind him.
Di Renjie sneered, his back facing Fang Qian and not saying a word.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly walked over and whispered a few words into Fang Qian's ear. Then, Fang Qian stepped forward and said respectfully to Di Renjie,"
"Milord, a soldier who survived saw the entire process of the riot.”
"Oh? Bring him here." Di Renjie said in surprise.
Soon after, a bearded man wearing a soldier's uniform walked over.
He was not tall and spoke with a Youzhou accent. He glanced nervously at Di Renjie and hurriedly bowed.
"Greetings, Milord."
"What's your name?" Di Renjie nodded.”
"I'm Wang Tiezhu," replied the soldier hurriedly.”
Di Renjie didn't ask what he saw. Instead, he asked abruptly,""Are you on duty on the Xing Tai today?”
The man was also stunned. He quickly nodded and said,"Yes."
Di Renjie looked at him carefully and asked,""What did you see tonight?"
"I saw a group of rebels coming from the north gate with knives and spears in their hands."”
"How many people are there?" Di Renjie asked again.
"Uh, about three to four hundred people." Wang Tiezhu thought for a moment and quickly replied.
"All on foot?" Di Renjie asked.
"Yes." Wang Tiezhu said.
Di Renjie narrowed his eyes and sneered in his heart. He did not expose her.
"Why aren't you resisting?" Di Renjie asked again before the man could heave a sigh of relief.
"Replying to the imperial envoy, we resisted, but we were outnumbered and were scattered by them not long after.”
"Are you the only one who survived?" Di Renjie did not seem to want to give Wang Tiezhu time to think, so he asked again.
"Uh, yes." Wang Tiezhu nodded.
However, as soon as he answered, he heard Di Renjie shout,""How do you know that you are the only one who survived?!”
Wang Tiezhu obviously did not expect Di Renjie to ask this question and was stunned on the spot. However, this man also reacted quickly, so he quickly explained,"The officer told me just now."
Di Renjie's expression gradually relaxed as he said to Fang Qian,""Lord Fang, I want to bring this person back to the Grand Governor's Office for interrogation. There are some details I want to understand.”
"Yes!" Fang Qian replied with a calm expression.
Then, Hu Jinghui ordered people to take him away.
At this moment, Di Renjie glanced at Di Feng, who suddenly clutched his stomach and slipped in front of Di Renjie: "Uncle, my stomach is uncomfortable. Since it's fine, I'll go back and resolve it.”
Di Renjie rolled his eyes, shook his head slightly, and waved at him.
Di Feng then clutched his stomach and shouted in a low voice as he walked towards the city.
Once he was out of everyone's sight, Di Feng immediately lightened his steps and turned into an afterimage as he chased in the direction where Wang Tiezhu and the others had left.
"Rufeng."
