Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Hu Jinghui, the Lieutenant General of the Thousand Bull Guards, waved his hand, and hundreds of Thousand Bull Guards immediately rushed into the gate of Xue's mansion.

"Get up." Wu Zetian took a deep breath. She could already smell the blood in the air.

She was afraid that her beloved Xue Lang had already died without a burial place.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wu Chengsi, Li Cunxi and others responded, and then slowly stood up.

General Huan Bin of the Qianniu Guard and Huang Shengyan, the chief of the Inner Guard, guarded Wu Zetian on both sides. Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi held Wu Zetian's still trembling hands and helped her down from the dragon throne.

More than a thousand Jinwu Guards formed a battle formation behind the officials. The two accompanying generals of the Gate Guards had also led the Gate Guards to control all the nearby government gates.

This is to make defensive preparations for the emperor's travel. They already knew about the tragedy in the Xue Mansion. The Qianniu Guards, the Jianmen Guards, and the Jinwu Guards are just the first to go, and the Yulin Guards who guard the imperial palace will also follow.

This time, the emperor led all the officials on a trip, and Li Duozuo, the general of the Left Yulin Guard, would personally lead 5,000 Yulin Guards to be responsible for the public security of Tianjie. After all, in recent months, the bigger cases must have had a lot to do with Tianjie.

What's more, in addition to Xue Aocao, there are many dignitaries living in Tianjie. Not far away from Tianjie is Di Renjie's Di Mansion, and across the street is Wu Chengsi's Wei Palace.

The Xue family has suffered such a disaster, so the officials in the court must not be in a much better situation. I'm afraid everyone is in danger at this moment.

Before the emperor leaves Tianjie today, all residents of Tianjie will close their doors and are not allowed to leave.

Wu Zetian also thought of the possible impact of the extermination of the Xue family, and had ordered General Wang Xiaojie of the Right Guard to station troops in Chang'an and take over the four gates, General Quan Shancai of the Left Guard to lead the Left Guard to station troops outside the city, and General Fang Zhe of the Left Dragon Guard to lead 100,000 Left Dragon Guard to garrison north of Chang'an.

For safety reasons, Wu Zetian also asked Xiao Qingfang from the Inner Guard to hold the armored military token to guard against some people with ill intentions.

When Wu Zetian entered Xue's mansion, what caught her eyes were several side rooms with their doors open. Inside were corpses one after another. The bodies of the dead had turned pale and looked extremely miserable.

Restraining the grief in her heart, Wu Zetian turned around and looked at the ministers behind her one by one.

The officials in the capital who were qualified to participate in the court meeting and enter the Taiji Hall were already behind.

However, there are a few people who have not yet appeared in Wu Zetian's sight.

"Hu Jinghui!" Wu Zetian said through gritted teeth.

"I'm here!" Hu Jinghui clasped his fists.

"Immediately, immediately, bring Li Xian, Li Lingyue, and Li Dan to me!"

"I accept your order!"

Watching Hu Jinghui leave, Wu Zetian looked like a fierce tiger: "Phoenix!"

Fenghuang, who had been walking with the inner guards, came out and said, "Your Majesty."

"I order you to hurry to Luoyang and invite Di Huaiying to Chang'an."

"I accept your order!"

Fenghuang called five inner guards and left Xue's house with them.

"Everyone, please wait here. Chengsi, Cunxi, Sansi, Jianzhi, Huanbin, Huang Shengyan, follow me in and take a look at Xue Aocao's body."

Wu Zetian, wearing a dragon robe, seemed to have aged several years in an instant, and walked tremblingly towards the first side room.

The first side room was filled with the bodies of servants, male prostitutes, and prostitutes. Among them was an old man, a face Li Cunxi had never seen before. At least the doorman who greeted him yesterday was definitely not this man.

"How cruel!" Wu Zetian said angrily, "What a beastly act!"

Except for Zhang Jianzhi and Huang Shengyan, the other four people present were all former exiles. Even the high-ranking Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi could not erase their miserable past as exiles.

They still remember vividly how Wu Zetian treated them in her attempt to gain power. Weren’t those massacres that were enough to incur the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people much more brutal than this?

"Where is Xue Aocao's body?" Wu Zetian closed her eyes with grief.

"In a side room next door." Wu Chengsi half lowered his head.

"Take me to see it."

"Yes."

In a side room next door, Wu Zetian finally saw Xue Aocao's body.

Xue Aocao died with his eyes open after his body was separated, and his pupils were still dilated as when he was alive.

"Are you sure it's Xue Aocao?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Although I have had many grievances with Xue Aocao, I have met him several times and know what he looks like..." Wu Sansi said something extra, but soon realized that something was wrong and said quickly, "Your Majesty, I made a mistake."

Xue Aocao has slept with Wu Zetian countless times in these years. How could Wu Zetian not know whether this was Xue Aocao?

This question is just an unnecessary one amidst the grief.

Anyone who dares to answer this question may ignite the angry volcano of Wu Zetian.

Sure enough, Wu Zetian stared at the timid Wu Sansi like an angry lion.

If this idiot wasn't her nephew and now serving as the Right Prime Minister of Wenchang, today she would let Wu Sansi know what happens when the emperor gets angry!

"Has the murderer been found?" Wu Zetian asked, suppressing her anger.

"Judging from the time of their death, it should have been last night. The mouths of the deceased were all blocked. It must have been a premeditated massacre." Wu Chengsi told the truth.

"Killing someone at night and then fleeing far away, really..." Wu Zetian was almost laughing out of anger, "Di Huaiying is in Luoyang and doesn't dare to interfere in the situation in the court. Now that such a big thing has happened, Chengsi, you should shoulder the heavy responsibility."

Wu Chengsi bowed his head and said, "I am willing to help Cunxi solve the case!"

"But I will grant all your requests. No matter who you want to transfer, I will agree. You can transfer the Internal Guard and the various armies as you wish. I only need one...result."

"I cannot guarantee that I can find out the truth. After all, this case has no beginning or end."

"Then you must do your best to investigate for me! If you still cannot find the answer in the end, I will forgive you three!"

Wu Zetian's emotions were on the verge of exploding. She hated the person who killed Xue Aocao to the core, but she had no way to deal with it.

If the murderer was finally found, no matter who he was, Wu Zetian would kill his entire family.

The sky outside was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and Hu Jinghui invited Li Xian, Li Lingyue and Li Dan one by one as quickly as possible.

Several people entered Xue's mansion together, stood in the yard, and knelt down and kowtowed to Wu Zetian.

"Kowtow to Your Majesty!"

Li Xian, kneeling in the C position, blinked his innocent big eyes and shouted at Wu Zetian.

"You three, come in and talk." Wu Zetian was furious. "Can't you see that so many people died in the Xue Mansion?"

"We saw it." Li Xian said on behalf of Li Dan and Li Lingyue.

In the side room, Li Cunxi stuck his head out and looked around.

There were only three people standing outside, namely Crown Prince Li Xian in the C position, and Prince Li Dan and Princess Taiping on Li Xian's left and right.

The three of them walked into the side room in a square step, looked at the corpses on the ground, and sighed.

Crown Prince Li Xian shook his head and said, "These criminals are really abominable. If we can catch them, we will tear them into pieces! I wonder who will be assigned to investigate the case, Your Majesty?"
