Judge Dee’s Mystery Episode 4 Plot Introduction: The case turns around and the murderer is someone else

Di Renjie could not break free from the stirrup. At the critical moment, Ma Rong showed up and cut the leather rope with a knife, and worked with Qiao Tai to save him.Later, Di Renjie took everyone back to Di Gong's Mansion and was surprised to find that Ma Rong had cleaned the mansion.Di Renjie told them not to light lamps after dark, and not to make any noise, so as not to find out who was hiding in the house.

In a corner of the main hall, there is the Yulong Sword owned by Father Di during his lifetime.As if he had found a treasure, Qiao Tai looked at it carefully and lamented that if he was destined to die by the sword, he would rather shed his blood on this sword without regrets for the rest of his life.That night, a thunderstorm swept through Chang'an. Di Renjie reflected that obtaining clues along the way was too smooth, as if someone was deliberately guiding him.

Soon, Di Renjie found Wei Wuji's old Zhu Pi in the Wei Mansion, as well as the stone in the wine pot that could spontaneously ignite.He suddenly remembered that wine was leaking from the bottom of He Dajing's wine flask, and the smell was unusual. He didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now it seemed that all this was carefully set up by someone.Di Renjie went to Wei Wuji alone and pointed out that he was the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Wei Wuji was deeply influenced by patriarchal thoughts and deeply resented the saint's connivance with the queen's involvement in politics, believing that he had made a mistake of reversing yin and yang.Therefore, he wanted to use He Dajing's hand to set fire to the examination room and disrupt the imperial examination.However, this year's imperial examination was specially monitored, and wine bottles were no longer allowed into the examination room.

In order to prevent He Dajing from getting into trouble due to drunkenness, Wei Wuji smeared coptis on the wine pot and diverted him to Jushui Tower to drink.As long as he could frame the queen and create public opinion about the wrath of heaven and bring disaster, he would not hesitate to sacrifice He Dajing.As for the reason why Di Renjie was able to survive, it was all because he played a vital role in the investigation process, which was to lead the charge to Chang Sunqing's faction.

Faced with the various evidences listed by Di Renjie, Wei Wuji frankly admitted that Empress Wu had brought disaster to the country and the people. If the Tang Dynasty fell into her hands, the consequences would be disastrous.Wei Wuji criticized Di Renjie for being young and energetic, saying that "new" is the right thing, but "new" does not mean good, but means change, chaos, and even the change of imperial power and the loss of life.

To this day, Wei Wuji has no regrets for what he did. He immediately set himself on fire and died in the sea of ​​fire.On the other side, a large number of men in black broke into the inner courtyard and started a fierce battle with Hong Liang and Qiao Tai.Di Renjie arrived in time and chased a man in black to the top of the mountain. He was shocked that the man was Kang Zhiyi in disguise.On the other hand, there was a person standing next to her, who seemed to have been waiting for Di Renjie for a long time, and she was none other than the Empress of the Tang Dynasty.

When Di Renjie woke up, he learned that Chang'an City had undergone earth-shaking changes after he had been sleeping for three days.Kang Zhiyi confessed during the interrogation of the three divisions, admitting that he was ordered by Changsun Qing to steal the Phoenix Seal. Before he was about to kill Yaxin, he discovered that someone had arrived first, so he followed the same method of committing the crime and killed four Yulin who had falsely passed down the imperial edict.Army soldier.The saint ordered a thorough investigation of Changsun Mansion, but the Phoenix Seal was never found. Considering Changsun Qing's identity as a royal relative, there is no conclusion yet.

Currently, Changsun Qing is staying at Qinglong Temple, offering 30,000 incense sticks as promised to pray for peace.The saint decided to take the queen to confront him. Many ministers and people had surrounded the temple, including Di Renjie.The queen proposed to negotiate with Changsun Qing in person, and when passing by Di Renjie, she cast a meaningful look.

Before Di Renjie fell into coma, he had a long face-to-face conversation with the Queen. He learned that she cared about the people of the world and would do whatever it took to achieve her goals. She used Yaxin, Kang Zhiyi and others as pawns to deal with Changsun Qing's group. Her knowledge, resourcefulness and even cruelty were beyond ordinary people.The queen told Di Renjie that some things were not determined by fate, but by man. As long as he was smart enough to see through the truth, he could take control of the fate of others.

Changsunqing made no secret of his dislike of the queen and insisted that the ethics of heaven are always above all else.He firmly believes that if the world is not allowed to judge right and wrong, justice will be lost.The queen repeatedly confirmed that Changsun Qing had no intention of turning around, and waited for the opportunity with a firm gaze.As the surrounding fire gradually heated up, the giant candle directly above Qinglong Temple suddenly collapsed, and the phoenix seal was revealed, shocking everyone present.

As the Queen said, Changsun Qing and his followers represent the decadent power of noble families. They are colluding together and pose a potential threat to the future of the Tang Dynasty.They are not the enemies of the Queen, but the enemies of the entire Tang Dynasty.In the end, Changsun Qing lost to a woman, who became the chosen queen in the eyes of all people and the future mother of the world.

The Ming government ordered people to remove Di Renjie's shackles and asked him to carefully identify the evidence. At the same time, he was reminded that if he wanted to make a difference in his official career, he should not mention Wei Wuji again in the future to avoid unnecessary trouble.Di Renjie entered the palace examination list, and the queen personally supervised the examination. When she saw Di Renjie writing an article about “新”, she decided that he was the talent she was looking for.Although Di Renjie did not take the imperial examination to high school, he obtained the post of Penglai County Magistrate, and he appointed Hong Liang to join the army, followed by Ma Rong and Qiao Tai, who took office with him.
