Humans in All Heavens: Starting with Detective Dee

Upon seeing this, the beekeeper exclaimed, "This won't do, this won't do! I was the one who invited you all!"

"Take it, take it. We never eat for free." Zhou Yi stuffed the money into the beekeeper's hand.

If it's a wealthy family inviting you to dinner, then you'll eat.

Judging from the beekeeper's behavior just now, this year's situation is not good, so Di Renjie naturally has to give him money.

"Oh, thank you very much."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, the beekeeper accepted the money.

After saying goodbye, Zhou Yi turned around and caught up with Di Renjie and his companion.

Di Renjie looked at the two people on his left and right and smiled, "Let's go and take a look at Liu Family Village."

"Such a large swarm of bees... there must be something fishy going on."

"The way you look is as if you've encountered a case."

She's just too curious.

It's just a bee.

Li Yuanfang laughed.

"Hey, Yuanfang, didn't you hear what the beekeeper said?"

This has never happened before.

This is a strange thing.

"I have a vague feeling that I will gain something from this trip." Di Renjie smiled slightly, looking confident.

"And aren't you curious about the secret behind this?"

After hearing this, Zhou Yi wanted to roll his eyes, but he had a vague feeling that Zhou Yi might as well just say that he had watched the surveillance footage.

But Di Renjie's intuition was always remarkably accurate.

"I'm sorry, sir, I'm not curious about these things, nor am I that curious."

Now we only care about the adults' legs.

It's more than ten miles from here to that side.

It takes more than half an hour to walk there.

We've already walked such a long distance.

Brother Di and I are fine, after all, we are martial artists.

You're already so old, I think...

Watch out for your old legs.

Zhou Yi then said, "Yes, sir, it's more than ten miles to walk there."

I think it would be better if I hired a car for you.

"I'll take you there."

"Sigh." Di Renjie waved his hand. "I'm tired of riding in carriages in Chang'an. I prefer walking here."

I used to walk a lot, crossing mountains and valleys, when I was in Pengze.

I said, "Could it be that neither of you can walk anymore?"

Having no other choice, the two had to follow.

More than half an hour later.

At the entrance of Liujiazhuang, lanterns and colorful decorations were hung, and the character "囍" (double happiness) was pasted up. More than a dozen tents were set up at the entrance, with tables placed inside.

There were some villagers giving alms to beggars at the entrance.

Very lively.

The three of them strolled to the door and looked around.

Di Renjie pointed to the festive decorations and said, "To paraphrase that beekeeper, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early."

There's a big banquet going on here; we might even be able to get some free food.

"Then we two will take advantage of your presence, sir. It's noon now, and we're both a little hungry."

"Haha, what a stroke of luck! I don't have to spend any money and I can even have a good meal. What a wonderful thing!"

As he spoke, Di Renjie walked to a table by the door and handed over his calling card.

"Are you a schoolteacher from Bingzhou? Please leave your name and come to the banquet hall for a meal."

A servant behind the table took the name card and glanced at it.

"Um, sir, could I borrow paper and pen?"

"Um?"

The servant hesitated for a moment, but still took the paper and pen.

After a moment's thought, Di Renjie picked up his brush and wrote a couplet on two pieces of red paper.

Li Yuanfang looked puzzled, wondering what Di Renjie was doing, while Zhou Yi quietly watched Di Renjie show off.

"Please leave this to your owner."

"This..." The servant hesitated for a moment.

Di Renjie took out a piece of silver from his pocket: "Excuse me, excuse me."

Upon seeing the silver, the servant immediately beamed with joy: "You're too kind, please wait a moment."

As he spoke, he grabbed the couplets and ran into the village.

"Sir, what are you writing?"

"Haha, it can't be said, it can't be said, you'll find out in a moment."

Di Renjie smiled and stroked his beard, clearly very satisfied with his earlier show of bravado.

He was just waiting for someone from the village to arrive so he could solve the mystery and astound everyone.

Zhou Yi smiled slightly, then immediately wanted to show off: "Sir, I'd like to make a bet with you."

How can I let you do all the acting by yourself? I need to do it too.

"Oh, what kind of bet do you want to make?" Di Renjie asked, intrigued.

"Let's bet on who will come out in a little while."

I believe he is a young master from the manor.

Young people in their twenties.

What do you think of the original owner of Liujiazhuang?

You win. Tonight's dinner is on me. How about you pay instead?

"Hmm?" After thinking for a moment, I realized that this trip to Jiangnan East Road was mainly for sightseeing and inspecting the various states.

It's rare for something interesting to happen during the trip, so let's make a bet and have some fun.

After a pause, Di Renjie said, "Alright, I'll take the bet with you."

Li Yuanfang found it amusing: "Haha, it seems that I will benefit from your and Brother Di's influence."

"Whether you two win or lose, I'm just going to eat."

"Haha, Brother Yuanfang, why don't you join us too?"

It doesn't matter which side you join.

"No, no, I never gamble," Li Yuanfang waved his hand.

"Don't gamble? You gamble all the time in the other world."

He often gambled his life with a single silver dollar.

This world also likes to gamble with a single coin.

Zhou Yi internally complained.

Just as the three of them were chatting and laughing.

A young man ran out of the village.

He was holding the couplet that Di Renjie had just written in his hand.

"Excuse me, which of you is Mr. Huai from Bingzhou?"

Di Renjie stepped forward: "I am...."

Liu Chuanlin looked at him suspiciously: "Are you really from Bingzhou?"

"Genuine or genuine."

"You don't know what's going on in my manor?"

"Haha, the three of us have only been in Huzhou for a day."

Liu Chuanlin was even more surprised: "Then how did you know about what happened in my manor...?"

"Haha, it's just what I judged with my ears and eyes..."

"I dare not ask..."

Next, Di Renjie explained the meaning of his couplet, putting on a show that left Liu Chuanlin completely stunned.

His eyes widened and widened.

"Sir, you are truly a divine being..."

Please accept Chuanlin's bow...

After hearing the explanation, Liu Chuanlin was filled with admiration for Di Renjie and immediately bowed in respect.

"Oh, please rise, please rise..."

Liu Chuanlin, the person involved, was utterly shocked.

Li Yuanfang, who was watching the scene unfold, was equally impressed. Seeing the fantastical scene before him, he was immediately persuaded by Di Renjie's few words to bow down to the young master of the manor.

How to avoid surprising people.

Di Renjie secretly gave Li Yuanfang a meaningful look, as if to say, "What do you think?"

How was my act, sir?

He looked at Zhou Yi again, then turned to look at Liu Chuanlin. Just as Zhou Yi had said, the show-off also saw the show-off in a moment.

I couldn't figure out how Zhou Yi knew that the person who came out of Liu Family Village would be a young master.

He's still a young man in his twenties.

He relied on analysis and existing clues, but after looking around for a long time, he still couldn't find any clues that could help him determine information about this young man, Liu Chuanlin.
