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

Looking down from the top of the mountain, you will find a completely different scenery. Li Cunxi climbed from the bottom of the valley to halfway up the mountain, but still could not possess the thinking mode of this great man.

Xiao Qingfang rushed back to Luoyang as quickly as possible and found You Huan, the leader on night duty in the palace.

Ever since Xiao Qingfang followed Li Cunxi and left Luoyang, You Huan returned to the Internal Guard House to continue his shifts.

Today it is You Huan's turn.

"Grand Master!" You Huan bowed his head respectfully.

"You Huan, as the Grand Master of the Inner Guard, I order you to immediately lead people to arrest He Yun, the Flying Dragon Envoy in charge of the stables. If he resists, you must immediately break his hands and feet."

"Yes!"

Watching You Huan and three inner guards rushing to the Inner Guard Palace, Xiao Qingfang did not hesitate at all and quickly asked the night duty Jinwu Guard to inform Wu Zetian.

Not long after, Wu Zetian woke up and ordered someone to bring Xiao Qingfang in.

Entering the Ganquan Palace, under the flickering candlelight, Wu Zetian was sitting on the dragon throne with a slightly ferocious look on her face.

There was a magical instrument standing upright on the ground outside Ganquan Palace, with an iron crown connected by strings. According to the national teacher Wang Zhiyuan, the name of that thing should be the Nightmare Crown, which has the ability to exorcise evil spirits, avoid disasters, soothe the mind, and drive away evil spirits.

Looking at this thing, Xiao Qingfang felt it was a bit strange, but after all, she had never seen it before, so she secretly took note of it and would ask about it later.

"Qingfang, it's already evening, what do you want from me?"

Wu Zetian had just experienced a nightmare. In the dream, she was dragged by Queen Wang, Concubine Xiao and other people who died unjustly, and was asked to go to see the King of Fengdu.

If Xiao Qingfang had not arrived in time to see her, and the palace maid had not woken her up to see Xiao Qingfang, she might have seen the King of Fengdu by now.

Xiao Qingfang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there has been substantial progress in the case of the murder of Gao Lange Ling and the recent murders in the four provinces and eight states and Jing County and Yongchang County."

"Cun Xi is truly my lucky general and a capable official!" Wu Zetian was delighted. "It only took a few days to find the clues. I wonder who did this?"

"Your Majesty, the dead are all inner guards!" Xiao Qingfang knelt on one knee, "I am incompetent. As the chief of the inner guards, I failed to discover these clues beforehand."

Wu Zetian waved her hands, not caring much, and said, "Qingfang, you are not guilty. Has the murderer been found?"

"Your Majesty, according to the investigation, the deceased internal guards were all involved in that major incident. Also involved in that major incident were Gao Lan, the Chamberlain, and Sun Dianchen, the Chamberlains. They are now dead."

"You mean, He Yun, the Flying Dragon Envoy?" Wu Zetian frowned.

"Yes, although Wang Zhiyuan, the national teacher, was also involved, he only played the role of calming the situation and had no real power..."

"Damn He Yun, he ignored my regard for him!"

"Before I came to see Your Majesty, I had already sent people to arrest He Yun, the Flying Dragon Envoy, but this thief was quite cunning and killed the entire family in advance because he knew about the murder." Xiao Qingfang paused and said reluctantly, "I'm afraid there is no evidence."

Wu Zetian closed her eyes, obviously very angry with He Yun: "You, the Inner Guard, killed and arrested people, and you still need evidence?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Tell Cunxi that I only want answers!"

"I accept your order!"

"Anything else?"

Xiao Qingfang went over Li Cunxi's analysis in his mind and said, "If He Yun is confirmed to be the real culprit in this case, then the other party must be targeting you, Your Majesty. They have a huge conspiracy... and there are forces behind you who oppose you. I ask Your Majesty to send an army to wipe out those forces in times of crisis."

"I'll give you the Iron Armored Army's military token. You can mobilize 3,000 Iron Armored Army soldiers at the critical moment. I still say the same thing. I just want this case to be closed!"

……

Yongchang County Posthouse.

Li Cunxi touched the tiger talisman in his hand and wiped it repeatedly.

Xiao Qingfang, who rushed over overnight, sat aside, drinking tea without taking his eyes off the tiger talisman.

"That is to say, He Yun is not in the capital, but we now have three thousand armored soldiers to support us. We are not afraid of those forces that oppose us." Li Cunxi raised his eyebrows and wiped the tiger talisman carefully.

"That's right. This also indirectly proves that our previous reasoning was not wrong at all. It was He Yun and the people who opposed Your Majesty who killed Gao Rujin's family."

"With the Ironclad Army at hand, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Li Cunxi returned the tiger talisman to Xiao Qingfang and sat back to sip his tea.

The night is long and the clues are interrupted. What should we do next?

What we need to do now is to find this bastard He Yun as soon as possible, but how to find He Yun has become a mystery.

This man traveled across eight states to commit crimes in just a few days. He ran faster than anyone else. How could we find him?

"Sir Li, how should we find He Yun?" Xiao Qingfang put away the tiger talisman and asked seriously.

"If the other party's goal is really to target Your Majesty, then they will not be able to get far." Wu Yanhao pushed the door open, "If there are forces behind them to help, then it will be easier to deal with. They will never be able to leave Henan Prefecture. It is very difficult for Henan Prefecture to hide a large number of people."

"Now that you mention it, I remember that we subconsciously left the other person aside from the beginning." Li Cunxi applauded. "Where do you think this headless knight would be?"

"The Headless Knight, the man who pretended to be Yuwen Chengdu's ghost...the General's Temple in Xilin!" Xiao Qingfang exclaimed in surprise.

"Tomorrow we will take the Qianniu Guard to the General Temple in Xilin. If we are lucky enough, we will not only see the Headless Horseman, but also He Yun."

……

Xilin, General Temple.

In the ruined temple, several people sat together.

In addition to the Flying Dragon Envoy He Yun, there was also Zhou Qi who massacred Gao's mansion yesterday, and the people sitting next to them were all leaders of the anti-Wu forces.

"All of you who are qualified to be internal guards are not easy to deal with. How could you find such a hellhole place?"

"You are really good at using ghosts to kill people... But now the disadvantages have also emerged. That Li family heir, the descendant of the exiles, and the current sixth-rank lower councilor Li Cunxi should be targeting you now, right?"

One of the thin men spoke cheerfully, not at all frightened by the exposure of his accomplice.

"Shut up, Yang Fu. I won't treat you as a mute even if you don't speak. Besides, it's only a matter of time before we are exposed."

"How many brothers have gathered? How many have not come yet? Tell me so that I can have a better idea. In case we are unable to cope with the situation, we will have to start the battle in advance."

Zhou Qi tore off a roasted leg of lamb and started to eat it directly.

The thin man called Yang Fu smiled and began to count the number of people:

"Two gangs in Guannei Road totaled 521 people, five gangs in Henan Road totaled 3200 people, four gangs in Hedong Road totaled 2500 people, six gangs in Hebei Road totaled 3057 people, nine gangs in Shannan Road totaled 5200 people, three gangs in Longyou Road totaled 1520 people, and one gang in Huainan Road totaled 21 people."

Zhou Qi raised his hand and asked in confusion: "Wait, why are there only 21 people in Huainan Road?"
