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

On the official road from Yongchang County to Luoyang, six horses stopped at the location where the two men were killed.

Without any communication, several people dismounted and found a tombstone in the grass.

One of the headless bodies was found here. The deceased ran here before dying and was caught up and killed by the murderer.

Li Cunxi squatted down and felt under the tombstone, and finally found what he wanted.

It was an internal guard waist badge with the name of its owner, Sun Dianchen, engraved on the back.

Li Cunxi handed the badge to You Huan who followed him and said, "I think we have confirmed one thing. The deceased is not Jiang Xiaolang but Sun Dianchen, the leader of your Internal Guard. This is a very interesting clue."

"How could it be possible? How could Chief Sun Dianchen die in a place like this?" You Huan said in disbelief, holding Sun Dianchen's badge.

"This is a conspiracy against the emperor, and we are just ants trapped in the vortex, but it is true that we can close the case soon." Li Cunxi waved his hand, "Return to Luoyang!"

"What are you going to Luoyang for?" He Yun asked carefully.

"Well...of course I have to ask someone for help." Li Cunxi laughed.

After two hours of riding, they arrived outside Luoyang City. After handing over their pass, they successfully entered Luoyang.

Under You Huan's leadership, they successfully arrived at the Ziwei Palace in Luoyang. The Jinwu Guards and the Gate Guards were guarding the place. The Right Jinwu Guards had arrived three days ago and had already started taking turns to deploy defenses.

After passing through many palace walls, everyone finally arrived at the Linde Hall of Shangyang Palace.

After performing the ceremony of bowing, Wu Zetian, who was not in a good mood, finally showed a little smile.

"Cunxi is here, what's going on?"

"Your Majesty, the bloody incidents that occurred in four provinces and eight states were man-made. We have found clues, but we still need to give some power." Li Cunxi stated his purpose as soon as he sat down.

Wu Zetian raised her eyebrows: "Who do you want?"

"I ask General Xiao, the head of the Internal Guards, to help me."

"The decree will be conveyed to the Internal Guard in a quarter of an hour... I haven't had a good night's sleep for some time. I really hope you can bring me some good news. After hearing it, maybe I can get a good night's sleep."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely solve this case within three days!"

As soon as everyone left the palace, a piece of news reached Princess Taiping's residence.

After reading the news, Princess Taiping immediately took a carriage to Zixia Temple to find the imperial teacher Wang Zhiyuan without having time to think about it.

Ma Rong, who was in charge of monitoring Princess Taiping's mansion, followed Princess Taiping to Zixia Temple, stood in the shadows and watched for a long time with a bloodthirsty expression.

"It seems that it won't be long before I go on another killing spree."

Before leaving Luoyang, Flying Dragon Envoy He Yun said goodbye to everyone and returned to the Inner Guard Palace.

Li Cunxi and his party arrived at Enji Village. Li Cunxi led everyone to dig up Jiang Xiaolang's grave without hesitation.

The tomb was empty, there was nothing in it.

Facing the empty coffin, Wu Yanhao asked, "Who was the person responsible for the Jiangjiazhuang case back then?"

Zeng Tai hesitated and said, "It is Gao Rujin."

Xiao Qingfang, the chief of the Inner Guards, frowned and turned to Li Cunxi and asked:

"Master Li, what is going on?"

Li Cunxi licked his lips and replied:

"General Xiao, someone wants to secretly clean up the internal guards. I'm going to ask you a question, and you can answer it as appropriate."

Xiao Qingfang paused and then nodded.

"Is there any mission in the Inner Guards Office that can connect with both the Chief Minister Sun Dianchen and the Chief Minister Gao Lan?"

"Yes, and more than one."

"What's the most recent one?"

"This is absolutely confidential. I cannot tell you without your Majesty's order," said Xiao Qingfang.

"Someone is clearing out the internal guards. It's obvious that his ultimate goal is to target Your Majesty. I'm afraid General Xiao has no need to hide it at this moment." Li Cunxi said.

"In that case, I'll say it."

Xiao Qingfang organized her thoughts and brought up the previous troubles of the Inner Guard Palace.

Since its establishment, the Internal Guard Bureau has always been for the purpose of consolidating Wu Zetian's rule. To put it bluntly, it is to do dirty work, and the Internal Guard Bureau does things that others cannot do. As long as the emperor gives an order, the Internal Guard Bureau will fight like dogs fighting for bones.

Under the high-pressure policy, the Internal Guard House has always been in a state of panic. Countless Internal Guard House leaders and members are hated by the ministers, the people, and even the people in the martial arts world.

And those who hated the Imperial Guard were not just enemies of the Imperial Guard, a considerable number of them were Wu Zetian's own enemies.

As the first female emperor, Wu Zetian had all her ministers and the world at her feet, but many people were unwilling to live under her feet, so anti-Wu forces came into being.

"In order to deal with the anti-martial forces, His Majesty ordered the Imperial Master Wang Zhiyuan and the Flying Dragon Envoy He Yun to join forces with the Inner Guards' Pavilion Leader Gao Lan and Sun Dianchen to win over the anti-martial forces in the martial arts world and finally wipe them out."

After Xiao Qingfang finished speaking, she looked at Li Cunxi with a calm look.

Li Cunxi next to him had also been looking at Xiao Qingfang. So many people had died in the Inner Guard Palace, but Xiao Qingfang didn't seem to feel any pain at all.

Why didn't Xiao Qingfang feel sad? Because Xiao Qingfang would leave the Internal Guard sooner or later, and she and the Internal Guard would be enemies in the future. Now that the enemy was dead, there was nothing for him to feel sad about.

Li Cunxi turned around and said, "So He Yun found an excuse to run away in advance, but we have also made new progress... Brother Zeng Tai, let's go find Gao Rujin immediately. We will definitely get clues from him!"

On the other side, at Gao Rujin’s house.

Ever since Zeng Tai came over to ask questions last time, Gao Rujin has been in a state of restlessness.

Gao Rujin immediately lost his composure when he thought about how he had been involved in a major case without realizing it.

"Why are you panicking?" He Yun, who had parted ways with Li Cunxi in Luoyang, appeared in the main hall. "No matter what happens, you can't be blamed in the end. We will naturally arrange everything."

"But, I am already very old, and I don't want to live this kind of life anymore. My Lord, please forgive me. I am now..."

"Shut up, Li Cunxi has already traced the case back to the inner guards. If they find out that you participated in Hou Junji's rebellion, you won't survive! Don't think that others don't know what you've done over the years. I hold your lifeline in my hands!"

"I have been a law-abiding person these years, sir!"

"Humph, if we are found out, you can tell that devil Li Cunxi these words!"

He Yun scolded Gao Rujin and looked towards the back hall.

There were shadowy figures in the back hall, and soon a man came in.

"We can't stay here any longer. Just as you said, now that Li Cunxi has noticed Gao Rujin, we can no longer trust this cowardly villain."

The man was handsome and tall. After he finished speaking, he drew his sword, turned over and chopped off Gao Rujin's head.

"Done! Run!"
