Humans in All Heavens: Starting with Detective Dee

Zhou Yi looked at the person next to Lu Dayou; it was a young woman.

"Who is this?"

"Oh, this is my sister."

Didn't the adults tell me to bring my younger sister over?

I went home this morning and just got back.

"Oh, I see."

Let's go, I'll arrange a place for your sister to stay first.

Then I'll show you around and help you familiarize yourself with the duties of a butler. From now on, you'll be the adults' butler.

"Okay, okay, thank you very much, Butler Di." Lu Dayou bowed excitedly.

"Alright, no need to be so polite. From now on, we're all family. Just call me Brother Di."

As he spoke, Zhou Yi led the two of them forward, first arranging a place for Lu Dayou's sister to stay.

He then led him through the mansion, instructing the steward on what to do and introducing the situation of the mansion as they walked.

He spent about an hour instructing Lu Dayou, telling him the basics of how to do things.

Zhou Yi then went about his own business.

Until evening.

Di Renjie, who had gone out at noon, returned to his residence with the imperial envoy's guards.

Zhou Yi, who was practicing his swordsmanship in the garden, heard shouts coming from afar.

"Lord Di has returned to the manor..."

He stopped practicing his swordsmanship, stood still, holding his steel sword, and gazed into the distance: "Di Renjie is back?"

"Let's go take a look. I wonder if Di Renjie will find out that Li Qingxia did 'that' with him before she died?"

However, on the other hand, Li Qingxia's taste was indeed extraordinary, except for her extremely explosive figure.

Her status as a member of the Li Tang royal family was also a triggering factor.

It would be a shame to kill him…

Tsk tsk, a regretful expression appeared on Zhou Yi's face as he thought to himself.

Sheathing the steel knife, Zhou Yi picked it up and walked outside.

In the courtyard in front, Di Renjie was accompanied by Li Yuanfang, and the two were striding towards the main hall.

Zhou Yi quickly went to greet him.

"My lord, Brother Yuanfang, how is the situation?"

"Haha, Brother Di, it was a great victory indeed. Those rebels were wiped out in one fell swoop."

Li Yuanfang had a smile on his face.

"It's just a pity..." Di Renjie's face showed a trace of sadness.

"Hmm?" Zhou Yi asked, following up, "My lord, what's the pity?"

"It's a pity that General Hu Jinghui, the commander of the Thousand Bull Guard, fought bravely against the rebels, but was killed by them due to a moment of carelessness."

"?"

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, then realized what had happened and exclaimed in shock, "What? General Hu Jinghui died on the battlefield?"

"Yes." Di Renjie nodded.

With a hint of sadness in his eyes, just then, two Imperial Guards suddenly carried over a corpse.

"My lord, where is General Tiger's body kept?"

"Is it right next to where I live?"

General Hu Jinghui died fighting valiantly against the rebels. This cabinet will report this to His Majesty and posthumously confer titles upon him.

"Yes, sir."

Zhou Yi craned his neck to look at the stretcher and saw that the corpse had Hu Jinghui's face, but the body was probably not.

Presumably, Di Renjie found a corpse elsewhere and, in the heat of battle, put a human skin mask on it.

Hu Jinghui, disguised as a human, died in battle.

When the three entered the main hall, there were only three people in the room.

Di Renjie then turned to Zhou Yi: "Di Chun, how is Princess Yiyang doing?"

"Princess Yiyang committed suicide by poisoning herself."

"Alas, it's a pity that Princess Yiyang was captured by villains. She was chaste and unyielding, and took poison to resist tyranny."

He shook his head, his face full of sorrow, and waved his hand.

Zhou Yi and Li Yuanfang exchanged a glance. Di Renjie was really worrying too much about the Li family prince.

They were actually willing to do something that defied Empress Wu Zetian for this.

This is no easy task; Wu Zetian was not so easily fooled.

If you are caught out by the slightest carelessness, you will be doomed.

Only Di Renjie could do that; anyone else who dared to do so would surely face certain death.

"Alright, you may go now. The mission case is now closed. Next, we will make some military and political arrangements for Youzhou, and then we can return to the capital to report back to the emperor."

"You must be tired after working so hard for so long, go back and rest."

"Yes, sir."

The two men bowed to each other and then took their leave.

The two were taking a walk together in the courtyard.

"Sigh, I've been on edge all this time, but now I can finally relax a bit." Li Yuanfang shook his head, a wry smile on his face.

"Brother Yuanfang, is it because you're a criminal?"

"Yes, as long as I haven't recovered from being a criminal to a normal life, my mind can't relax for even a day."

Fortunately, this time I helped the adults solve the mission case, and the traitors were either arrested or killed.

I suppose that after I return to the capital, the Emperor will remove me from this status as a person under criminal charges.

Haha, that's a relief.

"Not only that, besides removing your criminal record, you'll definitely be promoted."

"Oh? Then I'll take Brother Di's auspicious words into consideration."

Honestly, I really admire the adult. I don't know how his brain works; it seems to be different from everyone else's.

Such a major and unsolved case has somehow managed to reach the heart of the matter in Youzhou.

The rebel party was utterly defeated.

"You are truly a divine being!"

Thinking back on Di Renjie's actions during this period, Li Yuanfang couldn't help but sigh.

He glanced at the Book of Changes again and continued, "And you, Brother Di, are the same; you are good at noticing all sorts of details and finding problems in those details."

Zhou Yi waved his hand: "Hey, there's no need for this between us, is there?"

"Hahaha." The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

……

The matter in Youzhou is now settled.

With the rebels eliminated, Di Renjie was busy rectifying the military and political atmosphere in Youzhou and guiding Youzhou back onto the path of conquest.

Zhou Yi had nothing to do, so he usually practiced internal energy cultivation in the morning and swordsmanship in the afternoon.

Now, he has changed his routine. He practices internal energy cultivation at night and provides free medical treatment to people in front of the Grand Commander's Mansion in the morning.

Firstly, this was at Di Renjie's request to do some good deeds.

Secondly, it was to hone his medical skills. Besides martial arts, medicine was also a subject he was studying.

Previously, he had been learning theoretical things from Di Renjie, although he had also treated some people when he was in Pengze.

But the number of people is not large.

Youzhou was a large prefecture with a considerable population, and the city had an even larger population.

Many people come to see the doctor.

It can further hone one's medical skills based on the I Ching.

Of course, it's just free medical treatment; if they need medication, they have to get it themselves.

After seeing the patients that morning...

Zhou Yi turned around and went back to the Grand Commander's Mansion.

Zhou Yi was about to walk along a small path inside the Grand Commander's Mansion.

Someone behind him called out, "Di Chun."

Zhou Yi turned around and saw that it was Hu Jinghui, hiding behind a big tree.

"Brother Tiger?"

Seeing Hu Jinghui, Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

After all, he had just had sex with Brigitte Lin.

This is my first time traveling through time, so I have no experience. I'll get used to it after a few more times.
