Judge Dee’s Mystery Episode 17 Synopsis: Governor Lee turns a blind eye to avenge his son

Di Renjie built a simple court on the ruins, intending to clear up order in Lanfang and reestablish the legal system.However, his behavior was not trusted by the people. Although there were many onlookers, no one was willing to come forward to complain.A boy hurried over and accused someone of breaking his grandfather's leg, but the man firmly denied it.

Di Renjie repeatedly asked to no avail and was unable to do anything. County Lieutenant Li had no choice but to reveal that the fire in the Yamen was not man-made but a natural disaster.Originally, the fire could have been avoided, but everyone had no intention of extinguishing it even after it started, because the county government was full of variables for them and was by no means a place to uphold justice.

Nowadays, there are overlords everywhere in Lanfang. Di Renjie knows that he is weak and weak, but he still pulls out the blackened flag in public and declares the sovereignty of the county government to the people.Hong Liang was worried that Di Renjie would get into trouble, but Cao An understood and supported his decision, which made Hong Liang very happy and relieved that Di Renjie had such a confidante.

By sorting out the documents, Cao An learned that Di Zhisun had been threatened by Black Flame and committed suicide by jumping into the river in despair.Later, the saint found out the truth and rectified Di Zhisun's name, but people could not be resurrected after death. This incident still cast a considerable shadow on Di Renjie. At the same time, Black Flame was also exposed due to Di Zhisun's death and was destroyed again.Cao An was confused about the reason why Di Renjie's cousin “Huaiying” was engraved on the peach wood sword, but Hong Liang avoided talking about it because “time was long ago”.

When Hu Wuzuo examined Li Tao's body, he kept talking crazy and nonsense, which exhausted Di Renjie's patience.Di Renjie sternly asked Hu Wuzuo if he saw signs of poisoning in Li Tao, but Hu Wuzuo always found excuses to avoid the topic, insisting that Li Tao died of suicide.At this time, someone came to get the medicine. Hu Wuzuo made a random note in his notebook, which caught Di Renjie's attention, and he looked a little guilty.

The investigation reached a deadlock. Di Renjie ordered someone to count the number of people in Hongtingzi, and then went to Qiuyue alone to question her imitating Biyue in killing Li Tao. Only because the blood on Li Tao's hands was not dry and the ink on the table was still there, it was inferred that Qiuyue had turned it over.crime scene.Qiuyue refused to admit it and told Di Renjie about her past and her relationship with Li Tao.

That year, Qiuyue went out on business with her father and encountered a storm while passing through the desert. She was the only one in the entire caravan who survived.During this period, a total of five groups of people passed by but they all refused to save her. Only Biyue took her back to Hongtingzi, and she has stayed in Lanfang ever since.Therefore, when Qiuyue faced Li Tao's confession, although she was moved and longed for her, she was also unspeakably timid. She could not believe that the beautiful feelings in this world would come to her.

But since Qiuyue rejected Li Tao, Li Tao's temperament changed drastically, and his attitude of being respectful at first and then arrogant made Qiuyue think that the so-called deep love was all illusion.Although Qiuyue knew that Mr. Li was seeking death, she did not stop him. She even searched for his suicide note after his death. On the one hand, she wanted to prove her innocence, and on the other hand, she also wanted to use this to increase her own worth.

At the same time, Hong Liang checked the personnel in the Red Pavilion and found that Wei Cheng, the guardian of the hospital, had disappeared.Everyone tracked to Weicheng's house and found Weicheng himself who was seriously injured.He was injured by Qian Hao and his life was in danger. On his deathbed, he stated that he would not kill his benefactor Li Tao. Instead, someone released a secret to find the real culprit.

Di Renjie immediately thought that the person who released the hidden flower was most likely Li Shi, and immediately rushed to Li's Mansion to persuade him not to break the law.Li Qishi admitted that he was suffering from tuberculosis and did not have much time left to wait for justice for Di Renjie, so he wanted to personally find the murderer and avenge his son.Di Renjie was deeply saddened by what happened to the Li family and his son. He promised on the spot that he would never let good people die in vain and would definitely find justice.

At this moment, Hu Zuozuo's residence was set on fire, and Li Tao's body was burned.After hearing the conversation between Lieutenant Li and others, Di Renjie suspected that there was a mole in the team, so he asked Ma Rong and others to act with him in a play, and let the public know that Hu Wuzuo had woken up and provided important clues.As expected, someone from the Yamen secretly reported to Qian Hao, and Di Renjie immediately arrested him.
