Judge Di's Mystery 大唐狄公案 Episode 30

The two of them passed by the "Tongfu Inn" in a dilapidated village to rest, and met an old woman looking for her grandson Wei Xiaobao. She behaved crazy and did not attract the attention of the people present. Early the next morning, fog and cold shrouded the area. Di Renjie saw that Crescent Moon Spring was only a mountain away from them, so he decided to continue on the road, noting that the trip would be in vain.

Halfway through the journey, the wind and snow gradually became heavier. A group of refugees were walking in front of them. There was even an oxcart stuck in a ditch and unable to get out. The cries of children seemed particularly pitiful. Di Renjie was accidentally injured while helping him. Seeing that the road ahead was covered with heavy snow, Cao An discussed with Di Renjie to return to Lanfang first.

However, Di Renjie suffered from a high fever, hallucinations due to wound infection, and eventually fell into a coma. Cao An could only drive forward and finally found Chaoyun Library in the wilderness. The person who opened the door was a young man named Zhou Li. When Cao An asked to see Mr. Cui Haoran, he refused directly. For this reason, Cao An showed his Mingfu waist badge to explain his intention. Although Zhou Li was worried, he still asked Cao An to wait at the door for a while. Soon, Cui Haoran's student Li Miao followed Zhou Li out. He had some medical skills and expressed his willingness to bandage Di Renjie's wounds. However, since Cui Haoran, the family master, was assigned by the Minister of Rites to compile local history, he could not be disturbed and hoped that Cao An and the others would leave as soon as possible.

When Cao An saw this, he showed his Mingfu waist badge and explained his intention. As expected, Zhou Li had some concerns and asked her to wait at the door for a while. Soon a young man followed Zhou Li out. This man was Cui Haoran's student Li Miao. He had some knowledge of medical skills and said that he would personally bandage Di Renjie's wounds. However, because his teacher was assigned by the Minister of Rites to compile local history for this place, It is inconvenient to be disturbed by outsiders, so I hope Cao An and the others will leave as soon as possible.

However, Cao An let Li Miao see Di Renjie's coma. Li Miao also considered that the road was blocked by heavy snow and had nowhere to go. He couldn't bear the heavy responsibility of refusing to accept the Ming Dynasty, so he put the two of them in a room where old books were stored. . At the same time, Ma Rong learned about the snowstorm in the south through the refugees. Worried about the safety of Di Renjie and Cao An, he reported the situation directly to Hong Liang and followed Qiao Tai on horseback to search south.

Li Miao checked Di Renjie's body and found that apart from signs of mild poisoning, he was mainly suffering from internal heat accumulation and overwork. Di Renjie woke up and saw Li Miao. When he learned that he was in Cui Haoran's Chaoyun Library, he got up to see him. Because of Di Renjie's persistence, Li Miao had no choice but to guide him and said that if he needed anything, he could just let Cao An give instructions to the disciples in the hall.

Arriving outside Cui Haoran's room, Di Renjie saw him sitting upright through the window, with his eyes slightly lowered, as if he was meditating. There was a strong scent of sandalwood around him. Li Miao explained that the family teacher wanted to develop his writing style and seek historical insights, so After studying historical materials, I would retreat and meditate, so sandalwood plays a role in calming the nerves.

Because Cui Haoran was in seclusion, Di Renjie couldn't disturb him, so he simply turned back and handed the agarwood he collected to Li Miao, hoping that he would hand it over to Mr. Cui Haoran for him. On the way back, Cao An saw Zhou Li who was in a panic. Although he said he wanted to bring firewood to Di Renjie to keep warm, he was walking in the opposite direction to the woodshed.

Cao An asked Di Renjie to lie on the bed and have a good rest, and then went to help Li Miao decoct the medicine. Di Renjie couldn't sleep, and suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing open the door of his room. When he dragged his sick body out of bed and closed the door, he saw the boy in white robe running away from him, as if he had encountered something terrifying. However, Di Renjie couldn't bear it physically and passed out in the snow. After Cao An and Li Miao helped him into the room, they briefly explained the strange thing just now. Li Miao believed that Di Renjie was ill and had fantasies, but Di Renjie insisted that he had seen it with his own eyes, so Cao An naturally believed Di Renjie's words.

On the other side, Ma Rong and Qiao Tai rode in circles on the original road, unable to tell the direction, which made their backs feel cold, remembering Hong Liang's warning to them that evil spirits are easy to live in the south. When Cao An was taking care of Di Renjie, he heard a suspicious sound outside the door. He went out to pursue it and saw Zhou Li standing on the roof, shouting and laughing, muttering about monsters and monsters.

Zhou Li glanced at Cao An, as if he had something to say, and finally bit his finger and wrote a word on his palm, then jumped and died on the spot. Cao An examined Zhou Li's palm, and the blood-red word "嬵" stood out in front of his eyes, and immediately asked to go to Zhou Li's room to have a look. Li Miao told Cao An that Zhou Li was born in poverty and stayed in Chaoyun Library because of his sincerity in learning. He was originally a smart child, but he suddenly suffered from hysteria a few days ago and often talked nonsense in the middle of the night. His disciple Lin Shu was beside him to supplement confirm this.
