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

Half an hour later, Wu Chengsi walked in front and entered Ganlu Palace first.

Behind them are the timid Prince Liang and the imposing Zhang Jianzhi.

The one hanging at the end was Xiao Qingfang, the chief of the Internal Guard Department.

Seeing several people coming in, Wu Zetian became furious. She threw the wine vessel in her hand to the ground and glared at the people coming in.

Wu Chengsi was naturally not afraid at all. He held his head high, as if saying, "I didn't do anything. What can you do to me?"

Wu Sansi, who was also a prince, kept his head down, looking a little guilty. In fact, this was Wu Sansi's usual attitude towards the emperor.

You can say whatever you want to me and scold me, I will just keep my head down and pretend not to see or hear anything.

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor!"

Wu Chengsi shouted loudly and took the lead in kneeling down and kowtowing.

Although Wu Zetian was still quite angry, when she saw how respectful Wu Chengsi was to her, her anger subsided a lot for some reason.

She said unhappily, "Stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wu Chengsi stood up again, still with his head raised, ready to listen to what Wu Zetian would say tonight.

However, Wu Zetian, who was sitting on the chair, did not move.

After a long while, Zhang Jianzhi could no longer stand and asked:

"Your Majesty, you summoned us here late at night. Did something big happen in the palace?"

Wu Zetian glanced at Zhang Jianzhi and said in a slightly calmer tone:

"Jianzhi, there is nothing going on in the palace, but there are more than just Taiji Palace in the court and the country."

Zhang Jianzhi hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, I made a mistake!"

Wu Zetian closed her eyes and tried to appear more rational.

"It's like this. The day before yesterday, Di Huaiying led the Qianniu Guards to the northern capital Taiyuan. Li Cunxi vomited blood outside the city, and had no choice but to move into Di's mansion to rest..."

It's no big deal!

Several ministers reached a unanimous conclusion.

So, what event could Li Cunxi's vomiting of blood lead to that caused Wu Zetian to be so angry?

Wu Chengsi narrowed his eyes and his mind worked rapidly.

Soon, he probably understood something and turned sideways to look back at Wu Sansi who had been keeping his head down.

When he turned around to look at Wu Zetian again, the eyes of the aunt and niece met, and Wu Chengsi knew that something was wrong.

"On the night before yesterday, more than a dozen assassins came out of Taiyuan City and rode straight to Chang'an City!"

"Who are they going to tell the news to?"

"Or are they going to do something unspeakable?"

"Think twice, try to guess what those people are going to do!"

Wu Zetian's eyes were wide open with anger, and she was looking at Wu Sansi with murderous intent.

Wu Sansi, who was suddenly called out, fell to his knees.

He knocked his head against the cold floor and his whole body shook like a sieve.

Wu Sansi also felt the chilling feeling that Li Cunxi had felt in the past!

"Your Majesty, I... don't know!"

Wu Sansi was afraid that his aunt would chop off his head with a knife if she was unhappy!

"Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"

"Ah? Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Wu Zetian slapped the table and stood up. She actually went straight behind Xiao Qingfang, the chief of the Inner Guard Bureau, and unexpectedly pulled out the sword from Xiao Qingfang's waist.

"I'm going to ask you one last time. Think twice. Do you know?"

"Your Majesty, I am terrified!"

Wu Sansi's mind was in a mess and he didn't know what to say for a moment. In the end, he could only blurt out Li Cunxi's catchphrase in a panic.

"Hehehe, are you scared?"

Wu Zetian was so angry that she almost laughed.

"Do you think you are Li Cunxi?"

"Cun Xi said he was terrified, that's because he really was terrified, he has never seen me before!"

"And you, are you frightened because you saw me?"

"You are afraid that I will know what you did behind my back, so you feel panicked!"

Wu Zetian wanted to kill Wu Sansi with a sword, but reason told her that she couldn't do that.

After a long time, Wu Zetian put the sword back into the scabbard at Xiao Qingfang's waist and looked at Wu Sansi angrily.

"Think carefully, tell me, why do you think the death warriors came to Beijing?"

Wu Sansi's mind was a mess.

He was a man who usually only knew how to use clever tricks. Even at the peak of his intelligence, he could not guess the real purpose of the assassins coming to Beijing.

What's more, at this critical moment, he couldn't think of why the assassins left Taiyuan so late at night, and naturally he couldn't think of the real purpose of their coming to Beijing.

"Tell me, think twice, what do you think is the real purpose of the assassins coming to Beijing?"

There was a murderous look in Wu Zetian's eyes, and the veins on her forehead were protruding.

Seeing that Wu Sansi couldn't say anything, Wu Zetian's patience was running out bit by bit.

You are still trying to deny it even after all this. You are so good, Wu Sansi!

Wu Zetian raised her right hand.

Seeing that the signal had arrived, Xiao Qingfang put his right hand on the hilt of the sword, waiting for Wu Zetian's order, and then he would directly depose Wu Sansi and bring him back to the Inner Guard House for a thorough interrogation.

"His Majesty!"

At the critical moment, Wu Chengsi stood up with a dark face.

"Why, Chengsi, do you know the real purpose of the assassins coming to Beijing?"

"I don't know!"

"Then step back. I am asking about Wu Sansi!"

Wu Zetian was really angry. When she called Wu Sansi's name, she no longer just read his name, but also his surname.

Wu Chengsi did not give in, but bowed his hands and said:

"I don't know, but I can guess."

Wu Zetian said coldly: "Speak!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Although I often ignore government affairs, I also know the sin of secretly raising assassins. Therefore, I hereby guarantee that Sansi is definitely not a person who secretly raises assassins."

Wu Chengsi had to speak well of Wu Sansi, as he didn't want Wu Sansi to die now.

Moreover, he was smart enough to know the reason why Wu Zetian was so angry when she mentioned the word "death warriors", and it was not because someone from Taiyuan came back to report the news.

But it’s because someone is secretly raising assassins!

Ever since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, when Sima Yi secretly raised assassins and took away the foundation that the Cao family had fought for for generations, secretly raising assassins has become something that the rulers of every dynasty cannot tolerate.

Now, secretly raising assassins and swearing the oath at Luoshui means treason and talking nonsense in the eyes of those in power.

In the extremely special dynasty of Wu Zhou, Wu Zetian experienced countless rebellions, so naturally she would not allow even anyone to secretly raise assassins.

After sorting out his thoughts in his mind, Wu Chengsi bowed again:

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, as the prime minister of the dynasty, Di Renjie must go to Shihechuan in Gannan Road to investigate the case after he went to Taiyuan, the northern capital, to pay respects to the dead."

"The villains hiding in the court must have known all the clues in advance, so the assassins left the city and came to the capital."

"As for raising assassins in secret, judging from Sansi's intelligence, it is probably impossible for him to do it. It's not that he doesn't want to do it, but he simply has no place to do it."

"For a man who is so bad at handling state affairs, if it weren't for Your Majesty's favor, letting him be a minor official would be a compliment to him."

"I don't believe that such a person would secretly raise assassins!"
