Judge Di's Mystery 大唐狄公案 Episode 11

After nightfall, several small boats moved forward in the dark, gradually gathering to surround the official ship in the middle of the sea. The leader was wearing a black robe and mysterious armor, and a beast-headed mask, with a pair of black eyes staring into the distance, as if he was ready to give orders at any time. Jin Sang took the opportunity to bite the porcelain bowl, used the fragments to open the shackles, escaped from the cage, and held soldiers hostage to question Yu Su's whereabouts. Then he took Hou Yu as a hostage and ordered Di Renjie to hand over Yu Su in exchange for his safety.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, someone suddenly shouted "A ship is coming", and Jin Sang hurriedly blew the whistle. Di Renjie realized that the situation was not good, and just as he was about to warn everyone to take precautions, he saw a rain of arrows coming from the sky. The officers and soldiers were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. Regardless of his own safety, Hou Yu urged Di Renjie to inform the Yulin Army. Di Renjie had to turn back and found that Gu Mengbin was seriously injured. When he was about to die, he blew himself up and was plotted against him. He and Yi Shi should not have ended up like this after trying to supply gold to Wang Lide.

There was still chaos on the ship, but Di Renjie quickly regained his composure and commanded the Yulin army to defend against the enemy. For a time, the enemy ship's offensive gradually weakened. The officers and soldiers brought Yu Su in time, and Jin Sang's hostage changed from Hou Yu to Yu Su. At this time, Hei Yan led a group of people to rush to the official ship, during which they discovered Cao An hiding in the corner. Although Cao An looked panicked, Black Flame did not kill him, which made Cao An unable to help but fall into memories.

Di Renjie personally negotiated with Jin Sang and tried to rescue the hostages. Jin Sang believed that the situation was under his control and no longer had any worries. He admitted that he was a member of the Black Flame Organization. His purpose was to trick Wang Li De into helping him plunder the gold, pretending to be a survivor of Baekje to divert their attention, and deliberately left The missing navigation chart and damaged mast left the official ship isolated.

At this moment, the masked man suddenly appeared and kidnapped an officer and soldier, thanking Di Renjie for revealing the secret of gold. The golden mulberry knife reached the jade element and asked about the location of the gold. Hou Yu took the opportunity to grab an arrow and kill the jade element, which surprised everyone. In the chaos of the scene, Jin Sang was killed by an arrow, and the masked man jumped off the boat and fled. Cao An followed the masked man with his eyes the whole time and only felt relieved after confirming that he was safe and sound.

However, Hou Yu never wanted to stop. After Liu Zhongshi arrived, he slandered Di Renjie on the spot for colluding with foreign enemies and insisted on killing him. Since both Ma Rong and Qiao Tai were subdued and could not get even half a step closer to Di Renjie, dozens of arrows flew out at Hou Yu's order.

At the critical moment, Di Renjie grabbed Cao An and jumped into the rushing water. Ma Rong and others were distraught and shouted Di Renjie's name loudly, but the two of them had disappeared into the vast sea, as if the shocking scene just now had never happened. Di Renjie sank to the bottom of the sea and had difficulty breathing. The scene of his father jumping into the river appeared in his mind, just like the revolving door of life he saw before he died.

Fortunately, Cao An was proficient in water skills and swam ashore with Di Renjie. The two survived and made a fire to keep warm on the shore while waiting for rescue. Di Renjie guessed that Cao An boarded the ship to meet someone and chat with her about life insights. Cao An was worried, silently looking at the dark sea and humming a Bingzhou tune.

Early in the morning, Di Renjie found Wang Lide's corpse that had been rotting for many days on the shore. Hong Liang and others also rushed over and reported to him about Secretary Yi's night patrol to the sea. Di Renjie combined the clues provided by Yu Su before her death and cleverly used piano music to solve the mystery, and finally locked in a key figure - the mysterious guest who holds one of the three navigation charts. As for the other two navigation charts, they are in the hands of Hei Yan and Wang Lide respectively.

According to records in "Tide Chronicles", a strange large tide occurs in Penglai every hundred years. When the tide occurs, the water level will retreat more than ten miles to form a trench. Now that another hundred years is approaching, Di Renjie speculates that the tide will occur today. He rides alone to the trench and meets his former friend Hou Yu who is disguised as a mysterious guest.
