The matter of Tianbao Silver Bank finally came to an end.

Although the whereabouts of the list could not be found until the end, the large amount of money and food hoarded by Tianbao Silver Bank still filled the warehouse of Youzhou.

Di Renjie and others took the carriage back to the Governor's Mansion. Li Cunxi couldn't help but sigh:

"The matter of Youzhou is finally coming to an end!"

Jili Khan also breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"I can finally return home, but my poor brother will never see the mountains of Turks again, and will never be able to return to the Stone Kingdom!"

Counting the time, Shibi Khan has been dead for more than a month.

Modu, who advocated war, ran rampant in the Turkic country for a whole month and killed countless people who advocated peace.

This time when I go back, Geely will definitely not show mercy!

Since his uncle Modu is not a good person, Jili doesn't mind using the power of the Great Zhou to intimidate that villain Modu!

Jili Khan suddenly turned around, looked at Li Cunxi, and asked:

"I can see that you are not having a good time in the Great Zhou. I have heard Di Gong talk about your talent. I know that you are a rare talent, and you are extremely gifted in solving cases. Are you willing to go to the Turks with me?"

After thinking for a while, Jili Khan promised again:

"If you are willing to go with me to the Turks, I will definitely not treat you badly. You can choose any position under me, as long as you are willing to go with me."

Li Cunxi was stunned for a long time, thinking about various things in his mind, and finally just bowed and said:

"Thank you, Your Majesty Khan, for your appreciation. Cunxi's situation is indeed as Your Majesty Khan said. My father is Li Ai, the Duke of Huang. Since I was old enough to understand, I have had difficulty making any progress in the country."

"I grew up without a father or a mother. People called me a sinner and said I would die in a cauldron sooner or later. No one even wanted to be my friend."

"However, I also know that I am a criminal subject of the Great Zhou. In this life, I should share the worries of Your Majesty in the Great Zhou and try my best to atone for the sins of my rebellious father."

Seeing that Li Cunxi had even brought out his entire family to refuse him, Jili Khan knew that there was no need to recruit him anymore.

He looked up helplessly and said, "I only regret that among all the important officials in my country, no one can be compared with you. If there was one person who could have your ability, I would not have been stranded in the Great Zhou and unable to return home!"

"However, the ministers that my Turkic people lack can only survive as criminals in the Great Zhou! In the court, the Emperor of the Great Zhou has Di Gong and the King of Wei to assist him!"

"The Celestial Empire is worthy of its reputation. I wish I could use such a young hero!"

Li Cunxi also began to sigh.

If he could really leave Da Zhou, wouldn't he want to?

But, the Turkic people were already a sea of ​​troubles, with the pro-war and pro-peace factions almost fighting each other to pieces. Geely was still alive, so if I went there, I would just be killed!

Besides, no matter how bad the Great Zhou was, it still had Di Renjie to protect it, and the King of Wei had high hopes for it.

If you go to the Turks, you will have nothing.

Di Renjie, who had come behind the two of them at some point, suddenly whispered:

"If Your Majesty is worried about unrest in the country, I can lead the troops to attack the Turks with Your Majesty this time. When we arrive at the Stone Kingdom, Cunxi and I can make plans for Your Majesty to completely consolidate Your Majesty's position!"

Jili Khan said helplessly:

"Thank you, Mr. Di. It seems that this is the only way."

……

Chang'an!

into the night!

It was drizzling.

In Ganlu Palace, Wu Zetian sat on the dragon couch, the flickering candlelight illuminating her gloomy face.

"Your Majesty, I was ordered to go to Taiyuan, and indeed I found those people who were monitoring the Di Mansion outside the Di Mansion."

Phoenix stood alone on the cold ground, clasped his fists and said:

"However, after following them, I found that these people did not seem to be subordinates of any minister in the court. They seemed to be strangers to each other, but they knew of each other's existence."

"I captured two people and prepared to interrogate them, but I found that the rest of them had mysteriously disappeared in Taiyuan City!"

"The two who were captured also committed suicide by taking poison on the way back to Chang'an."

Wu Zetian closed her eyes, and veins bulged on her forehead.

Even though she had expected this situation from the beginning, she was still quite angry when it really came to this.

The king of a country was investigating such a trivial matter, but he was manipulated by the assassins again and again.

Looks like someone's got to test the sharpness of her sword.

"Phoenix, besides the Di residence being monitored, is there anyone else's residence being monitored by the assassins?"

"Your Majesty, on the day I left Beijing, I sent people to Zhang Gelao's hometown, and also sent people to the hometowns of several ministers, but I did not find that anyone was monitoring their homes."

"That's strange. No one else was under surveillance, only Di Huaiying's house was under surveillance. Who do you think did this?"

"I dare not say." Fenghuang knelt down quickly on the cold ground of Ganlu Palace.

Wu Zetian took a look and knew who Fenghuang was talking about, so she smiled and said, "I forgive you... Of course, if you want to say that it was King Liang who did it, then I will definitely not believe it."

"Your Majesty, I want to talk about King Liang. King Liang and Elder Di are the only ones who are at odds with each other. If you say this is not King Liang's arrangement, I'm afraid I can't think of anyone else."

Phoenix is ​​also helpless.

All the ministers in the court knew that, apart from the emperor and a few cruel officials who had died, the only people who had the ability and courage to go against Di Renjie were Prince of Wei Wu Chengsi, Prince of Liang Wu Sansi and Zhang Jianzhi.

There is no need to mention Zhang Jianzhi.

King Wu Chengsi of Wei was too lazy to compete with Di Renjie for any position.

Only King Wu Sansi of Liang wanted to slander Di Renjie in the court every day, just to overthrow Di Renjie as soon as possible.

Now that the Di Mansion is under surveillance, Fenghuang can't figure out who else is there except Liang Wang Wu Sansi.

"Qingfang, you take over this matter." Wu Zetian suddenly said.

Outside the door, Xiao Qingfang, who had been waiting silently for a long time, walked in calmly, knelt on one knee and said:

"My lord, take your orders!"

Wu Zetian was extremely satisfied when she saw Xiao Qingfang's calm and measured appearance.

This is Xiao Qingfang, one of the three trump cards under her command. It was Xiao Qingfang who arrested Yuan Tiangang and She Ling back then!

Compared with the lazy Wu Chengsi and Di Renjie who was devoted to protecting the Li Tang royal family, Xiao Qingfang was simply the person Wu Zetian could trust the most.

"Okay, Phoenix, you go down first."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Phoenix stood up and took his leave, leaving Ganlu Palace.

Wu Zetian finally revealed a kind smile and slowly walked up to Xiao Qingfang.

She gently helped Xiao Qingfang up and said kindly:

"Qingfang, ever since Yuan Tiangang established the Snake Spirit six years ago, you led the team to capture Yuan Tiangang and the Snake Spirit rebels. Since then, I have regarded you as my confidant. Whenever I entrust you with important tasks, you always complete them very well."

"And I also regard you as a capable minister on par with Chengsi and Huaiying!"

"One of them is my trump card, the other is my living justice, and you are the person I rely on and trust the most!"
