Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team
Chapter 184 Entering the Palace to Meet the Saint
People die every day, but not every day they die in places like this.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. After the flares were fired, dozens of people were released from their respective inns, and then surrounded. After a fierce fight, they were killed by the sword, and no one was left alive.
The Qianniu Guards brought the bodies to the Chang'an County Government Office and sent them to the morgue.
Li Cunxi did not go to see the corpses, but walked on the path of the county government office thinking about things.
Many people died tonight, and a lot of news was received, so he needed to digest it. First of all, it was indeed Zhang Yizhi who sent people to kill the people in Xue Mansion. Who did he send? The people he sent were from the Iron Hand Group. The one who paid for the people was Liang Wang Wu Sansi. Wu Sansi and Zhang Yizhi reached an agreement, and the two joined forces to get rid of Xue Aocao, the pro-Li faction.
There are many benefits to getting rid of Xue Aocao. First, getting rid of Xue Aocao means Wu Sansi has one less rival, making it easier for him to harm the descendants of the Li family. Second, getting rid of Xue Aocao means Zhang Yizhi has one less rival, making it easy for him to develop feelings for Wu Zetian. If he becomes Wu Zetian's favorite male concubine, he will be the "mother of the country".
For their own purposes, both sides chose to act together, but before taking action, Wu Sansi heard that Xue Aocao had sent a message to Wu Chengsi, saying that Di Renjie might be attacked in Jiangzhang County.
Wu Sansi later came in handy with this information. When Li Cunxi visited Xue's house for the first time, the fake Xue Aocao told Li Cunxi that the news was told by the national teacher Wang Zhiyuan.
Wu Sansi didn't know that the imperial teacher Wang Zhiyuan was Princess Taiping's man. He always thought that Wang Zhiyuan was just Wu Zetian's man and had been working for Wu Zetian. The reason why he pushed the blame to Wang Zhiyuan was to bring the matter to Wu Zetian's head and make Li Cunxi dare not continue to investigate.
"It seems that we have finally entered an interesting circle, which is the same as what we thought at the beginning. However, if these two people are the murderers, who could be the person who sent the message to Xue Aocao that night?"
Li Cunxi thought about the problem as he walked.
And how did King Wu Sansi of Liang manage to contact the Iron Hand Group in the Huaiyang area?
There was a fight within the Iron Hand Group, so why didn't his subordinates come to tell him? Could it be that the Iron Hand Group was unaware of this?
Li Cunxi had reason to believe that if Long Feng and Chen Yiqu knew the truth, they would definitely ask Tao Gan to pass the message over. After all, Li Cunxi would definitely have to conduct in-depth investigations into all the big and small cases discovered in the capital.
As for the mysterious person who delivered the message, looking across the entire capital, there are very few people who have the ability to do this, not to mention that the person left immediately after delivering the message.
After going around in circles again and again, Li Cunxi frowned tightly, and couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Suddenly, Lao Hei and Lao Bai in front waved towards Li Cunxi and called out:
"Li Shaoyin, Li Shaoyin!"
"Your Highness and Lord Di are calling you. Everyone is waiting in the main hall!"
Li Cunxi stopped and stared at Lao Bai in front of him without blinking.
Perhaps from the very beginning of this case, he subconsciously ignored someone in the case!
That’s right, from the very beginning, that person’s figure appeared somewhere around Li Cunxi, has been present in all cases, and has an unavoidable relationship with everyone.
"I'll be there right away."
Li Cunxi took a deep breath, walked past Lao Hei and Lao Bai, and walked towards the main hall of the county government.
All the investigators involved in the entire case were here. Li Cunxi went in, bowed, and sat next to Hu Jinghui.
There are only four people present with higher official positions than him, Wu Chengsi, Di Renjie, Xiao Qingfang and Hu Jinghui. He truly deserves to be sitting here.
Wu Yanhao looked at Li Cunxi with envy, then looked away.
Other people’s thirteen years old, his thirteen years old.
"Now, we will nominate two people to come to the palace and tell His Majesty the results of our investigation."
Di Renjie stood up and made a final summary.
"Just now, General Xiao also knew the whole story. Now we have a total of five people who can enter the palace to speak to the emperor. We originally thought of choosing one person, but we found that choosing one person was not safe and could easily die in the palace, so we decided to choose two people."
"The five candidates are King Wei, this cabinet, General Xiao, General Hu, and Lord Li. The five of us will take turns to vote."
"We will vote for whoever we think should go, and the two people with the most votes will go."
"Let's start voting now, starting with the King of Wei. Those who want the King of Wei to come to see the Emperor, please raise your hands."
……
Chang'an, Ganlu Hall in Taiji Palace.
Wu Zetian, who had already woken up, looked at Huang Shengyan, the leader of the Internal Guard Bureau, who was half-kneeling below.
Outside Ganlu Palace stood a group of inner guards, including Fenghuang. Outside the inner guards were a circle of Qianniu Guards, and the commander of the Qianniu Guards guarding Ganlu Palace was none other than Hu Jinghui's immediate superior Huan Bin.
Outside the Qianniu Guards led by Huan Bin were hundreds of Zuo Yulin Guards. Inside the palace, part of the Left and Right Jinwu Guards, the Left and Right Jianmen Guards and the Left and Right Yulin Guards had already been mobilized. The army of nearly 10,000 people surrounded the palace.
Wang Xiaojie, the general of the Right Guard who was guarding the four gates, ordered everyone to guard the four gates well, and ordered Su Honghui to lead a hundred Right Guards to rush to the palace to inquire about the next move.
Because there had been no news from the palace for a long time and Su Honghui had not returned, Wang Xiaojie made up his mind. He handed the army over to a General under his command, and went straight to the palace with two hundred Right Guards to personally seek orders from Wu Zetian.
Soon, the army escorted Wang Xiaojie to the outside of Taiji Palace. Facing the gate guards, Jinwu Guards and Yulin Guards blocking the door, Wang Xiaojie could only shout:
"Right Guard General Wang Xiaojie requests to see Your Majesty!"
A figure flashed out from among the soldiers. It was Li Duozuo, the general of the Left Imperial Guard. He bowed to Wang Xiaojie and shouted:
"General Wang, I am Li Duozuo. Please wait here for a while. I will send someone to report to His Majesty!"
After Li Duozuo finished speaking, he ordered his deputy general to meet Wu Zetian.
After half a cup of tea, Li Duozuo's deputy general finally came back and said to Wang Xiaojie:
"Your Majesty has ordered General Wang Xiaojie of the Right Guard to enter the palace alone!"
Wang Xiaojie received the order and asked the troops to wait here for a while before entering the palace.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from the edge of the palace. It was Su Honghui, who had taken the wrong road, returning with a hundred Right Guards.
"You took the wrong road, didn't you, bastard? You can even make the wrong choice for the Imperial City!"
Wang Xiaojie gave Su Honghui a scolding, which was a lot of noise but little action. He did not intend to blame Su Honghui at all. Then he asked Su Honghui to lead 300 Right Guards to wait outside.
Not long after, Wang Xiaojie followed a eunuch to the outside of Ganlu Palace. After taking a look at the three layers of defense inside and outside, Wang Xiaojie simply stopped.
"Is Xiaojie here? Quick, quick, let Xiaojie in!"
