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

After listening to the explanation of her eldest nephew Wu Chengsi, Wu Zetian felt much better.

Anger comes and goes quickly.

After thinking about it carefully, Wu Zetian felt that with Wu Sansi's IQ, it would be difficult for him to raise a group of assassins without being discovered, or even to collude with his cronies to secretly harm his political enemies.

Among the four prime ministers of the dynasty, in terms of ability and status, in Wu Zetian's mind, Wu Chengsi was the best, followed by Di Renjie, then Zhang Jianzhi, and Wu Sansi was definitely at the end.

If Wu Sansi, the Prince of Liang, had had a little ability, he would not have been squeezed out by Zhang Jianzhi.

After all, it’s because people are too useless!

"Well, Sansi, get up."

Wu Zetian put away her murderous look, turned back and sat down.

"Then tell me, who could have secretly raised these assassins?"

Wu Sansi had just stood up, but when he heard this, he immediately knelt down again.

"Your Majesty, this assassin was definitely not raised by me. I have worked hard for your majesty's cause and have trouble sleeping. How could I have the time to raise assassins, Your Majesty?"

"You also know that you are the person who is most likely to raise assassins in the court? Think twice, think twice, look at what I have spoiled you into."

"I am willing to go through fire and water for your majesty, and I am willing to devote myself to your majesty until my death!"

"Forget it. If I really counted on you, I'm afraid my court would have rotted away long ago! Forget it, Qingfang, send Sansi back, and Chengsi and Jianzhi stay."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Qingfang took Wu Sansi away, and only the king and his ministers were left in the huge Ganlu Palace.

Wu Zetian began to think about how many people in the court and the country might be secretly raising assassins.

First of all, the person who secretly raised the assassins could not be a military officer.

Secondly, the civil servants who secretly raised assassins could only be those who had grudges against Di Renjie and the Wu family.

After thinking for a while, her mind was a mess, and Wu Zetian had to ask for help from Wu Chengsi and Zhang Jianzhi who were standing below.

"Chengsi, Jianzhi, think about this for me. Is there anyone in the government or the public who might be secretly raising assassins?"

Zhang Jianzhi stroked his beard lightly and began to think hard.

Wu Chengsi didn't move, the answer already existed in his mind.

"Chengsi, please tell me."

Wu Zetian turned to Wu Chengsi, hoping that he could give her a reasonable name.

"In reply to your majesty, Lord Zhang and I may have secretly raised assassins."

Zhang Jianzhi did not refute when he heard this.

As one of the people with the highest power in the court, it is possible that Zhang Jianzhi secretly raised an army, not to mention that he might secretly raise a group of assassins.

"It's impossible for you to do that. I would rather believe that Sansi wants to kill Li Xian than believe that you are secretly raising assassins."

"Internal Secretary Yao Chong?"

"This person won't."

"Minister of Rites Wu Yizong?"

"No, he doesn't have that intention."

"The Minister of Personnel, Hao Chujun."

"He is a righteous man. Even though he still misses the Li Tang royal family, he will never resort to such means."

"Li Changhe, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War?"

"Less likely."

When Wu Chengsi saw that several names he had proposed were all rejected by Wu Zetian, he just nodded and said nothing.

Anyway, he has done what he should do.

He talked so much tonight, which was not like his usual style.

Zhang Jianzhi hesitated to speak, as he had another suitable candidate in mind.

But Wu Chengsi was present, so he couldn't say it directly.

The next second, Wu Chengsi, who saw through Zhang Jianzhi, bowed again.

"Your Majesty, I think there is another person who may be secretly raising assassins."

Wu Zetian was cheered up.

My nephew is a really nice guy. He really helps when something happens!

"Chengsi, tell me quickly, who is it?"

"My brother, Wu Chengye!"

Zhang Jianzhi was surprised that Wu Chengsi actually directly called out his brother's name!

Wu Zetian's expression changed several times, and finally she shook her head repeatedly.

"Impossible. Chengye is an arrogant person. It is impossible for him to hide his assassins so well while raising them."

"Then, my spearhead will be directed at..."

Just as Wu Chengsi was about to mention the name of Li's heir, Zhang Jianzhi immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, I think the assassin must have a high position in the court."

Wu Chengsi folded his sleeves and said nothing. His purpose was to bring Zhang Jianzhi in.

You can't always talk alone.

"That's absolutely right. It seems that I will have to resort to any means necessary."

Wu Ze narrowed his eyes.

I have locked onto a candidate in my mind.

"You guys go down first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After watching Wu Chengsi and Zhang Jianzhi leave, Wu Zetian closed her eyes.

"Shengyan, go and call the national teacher Wang Zhiyuan."

Huang Shengyan, the leader of the Inner Guard Bureau, who had been hiding in the shadows, walked out and bowed to Wu Zetian.

"Yes!"

……

When Wu Zetian secretly summoned Wang Zhiyuan, Xiao Qingfang, who was escorting Wu Sansi back to the palace, also arrived at his destination - Prince Liang's Palace.

After watching Wu Sansi enter the Prince of Liang's Mansion, Xiao Qingfang mounted his horse and called over several guards.

"Keep an eye on the gates of Prince Liang's mansion at all times. If anyone sneaks into Prince Liang's mansion, report to me immediately."

"Yes!"

Several inner guards responded in unison and dispersed.

Xiao Qingfang led the rest of the inner guards to the Taiji Palace.

Before reaching Taiji Palace, Xiao Qingfang saw a familiar figure.

After seeing the man's face clearly, Xiao Qingfang stopped his horse and said to the guards behind him:

"You wait here, I'll go see the head of the hall."

The inner guards behind him were all his own Snake Spirit tribe members, so Xiao Qingfang simply confessed Huan Bin's identity directly.

All the snake spirit subordinates responded in unison and began to stand in place as punishment.

Xiao Qingfang rode his horse to Huan Bin's side and whispered:

"It's not easy to see you. Tell me quickly, are there any of your men among the assassins who left Taiyuan City?"

Huan Bin's honest face unexpectedly showed a little contempt, and he lowered his voice and said:

"Do you think I'm that kind of idiot?"

Xiao Qingfang gritted her teeth in anger.

As the leader of the snake spirits, he was actually despised by Huan Bin, the head of a hall.

"It's weird if it's not yours."

"There are only four high-ranking members of the Snake Spirit hiding in the capital. Jin Mulan and Viper have already left."

"The other important officials in the court don't seem stupid. If it wasn't sent by you and me, then who could it be?"

Huan Bin racked his brains but couldn't figure out who it was, so he had to give up.

"Next time, if it's such a trivial matter, you don't have to take the risk to come to me. It's very dangerous. I have worked hard to climb to a position comparable to that of a prime minister, and I am also a close minister to the emperor. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous."

"I know, go back quickly."

"Yes, by the way, there is one more thing. Not long after you left, His Majesty secretly ordered the Imperial Preceptor Wang Zhiyuan to come to the palace."

"Got it. I'll find out the reason myself."

As they were about to part, Huan Bin suddenly said:

"Oh, there is one more thing. Lord Di's ability is really terrifying. We need to make plans early. Otherwise, when the old master comes out, it will be troublesome..."

Xiao Qingfang swung the whip and hit the horse on its butt.

The horse felt pain and started running away at full speed.

"He's just Di Renjie. It's easy to deal with him!"

"Inner Guard, follow me back to the palace!"
