Judge Di's Mystery 大唐狄公案 Episode 18

Di Renjie went after Qian Hao alone and asked him to give up the secret flower mission. Unexpectedly, before the words were finished, a cold arrow was shot from the darkness. The two cooperated tacitly to subdue each other, and found out that it was actually the remaining members of the Lone Wolf Gang who were trying to take revenge. Although Qian Hao was grateful for his life-saving grace and let Di Renjie go, he firmly stated that he would continue to accept the secret mission and would hunt down all those he investigated.

Then Di Renjie returned to Hongtingzi, Qiuyue had left without saying goodbye, and Biyu refused to reveal Qiuyue's whereabouts. Everyone speculated on where Qiuyue might go, and Di Renjie focused on Hongliu Village, not far from the city. However, when they arrived, Qiuyue had been taken away by the Xuanhu Gang, leaving obvious traces on the ground.

But the Xuanhu Gang was able to know in advance, which meant that there was still a spy in the yamen. The disappearance of Master Bai just illustrates this point. Di Renjie deliberately told Lieutenant Li that he had no choice but to give him a letter to forward to Governor Li. However, Lieutenant Li Xian opened the letter without permission and found that it was Di Renjie who was testing his strategy.

Seeing that the matter was exposed, Li County Lieutenant admitted that in order to protect the safety of his family, he had to obey Qian Hao's orders, which was really a forced and helpless move. Lieutenant Li believes that Di Renjie should not blame them. If he is really capable, he should immediately start to change the situation in Lanfang, otherwise more innocent people will be affected.

On the same day, Di Renjie went to court again, but the court table was sawed off. He found Qiuyue's favorite hairpin from Hongliu Village, combined with existing clues, inferred that Biyu had concealed the truth about Qiuyue's disappearance, and directed and acted in a play. In order to force Biyu to tell the truth, Di Renjie warned that if she did not reveal Qiuyue's hiding place, Qiuyue might be in danger soon.

Although Di Renjie's words were clear, Biyu still refused to tell the truth. Di Renjie had no clue and asked Cao An to answer his questions. Cao An suggested that Di Renjie try another way of thinking: if Qiuyue and Li Tao truly love each other, then Li Tao would most likely choose to commit suicide for some reason.

Di Renjie was deeply inspired by what he said. Hearing that Hu Wuzuo woke up and was writing and drawing like a demon, he hurried over and saw that he had drawn a portrait of a sand flea. Hu Wuzuo said that he saw a group of sand fleas running out of the red spots on Li Tao's neck, so he set fire to the body in desperation to avoid infecting others.

Li Qishi firmly believed that Qiu Yue had killed his son, so he rushed into the red pavilion with a knife and took Qiu Yue hostage. Di Renjie tried his best to stabilize Li Cishi's mood and publicly revealed the truth that Li Tao had died shortly after being infected with sand fleas. As for the sand fleas, they came from tulips raised by Li Cishi. Because of this, Li Tao deliberately lost his temper with Qiu Yue so that she would no longer miss him. He even left a suicide note before committing suicide. Unfortunately, the suicide note was blown away by the wind and disappeared, but it still showed that he was infatuated with Qiu Yue.

Qiu Yue burst into tears when she heard this, and Governor Li was even more grieved. He apologized to her for misunderstanding Qiu Yue, and felt guilty because he accidentally killed his son. In full view of everyone, Li Qishi begged Di Renjie to give him some dignity. After saying this, he walked to the room and ended his life tragically. A group of servants knelt in front of the door and cried bitterly, which made everyone present feel uncomfortable.

Soon the city defense army arrived in Lanfang, and the gangs that once dominated Lanfang were wiped out. Ma Rong and Qiao Tai teamed up to subdue Qian Hao, burned the gang flags, distributed food and water to the people, and returned to the local peaceful life. . During this period, a masked man was sitting on the street, staring closely at Di Renjie's figure, quietly plotting a new conspiracy. With the establishment of the county government, Di Renjie's prestige in Lanfang increased day by day, and legal order was restored. However, beneath the surface calm, another complex murder quietly occurred.
