The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 3 Armillary Sphere

Outside the post house, Qian Niuwei, who had been waiting for a long time, finally saw "Di Renjie" in a cloak stepping onto the carriage, and a group of guards escorted the carriage and quickly disappeared into the night.

Not long after, the carriage came to a secluded alley and stopped.

The leader of Qianniuwei, who was leading the team, suddenly gave a grin and shouted, "Do it!"

As soon as the words fell, dozens of black-clothed archers suddenly appeared on the houses on both sides, and shot arrows at the carriage where "Di Renjie" was.

In a few breaths, the carriage was pierced into a hedgehog by arrows.

Qian Niuwei, the leader, saw that there was no movement in the car, and was about to step forward to check.

Suddenly, a cold light shot out from inside the carriage like lightning, piercing through the head of the visitor in an instant.

Seeing this, Qianniuwei pulled out the knives from his waist and rushed over together.

It was too late and then it was too fast, only to hear a loud "crack", and the wooden carriage suddenly fell apart, and the fragments from the explosion shot the crowd of Qianniuwei who surrounded them into a sieve.

The archers on the roofs on both sides were about to draw their bows and set their arrows, but they heard a "swish" sound from the air, and a chain knife pierced through the air, piercing more than a dozen black-clothed archers into a string!

On the other side, there was another brisk sword chant, the cold sword light was like impermanence that slashed the throat of the black-clothed archer in an instant.

"Leave someone under the sword!"

With a loud shout, he finally stopped the impermanence that seduced the soul, and temporarily saved the life of the last man in black.

Shen You kicked the archer off the roof with one kick, followed him like a ghost, and instantly pressed the sword point against his throat.

In the darkness, Di Renjie walked out slowly, and he said coldly to the archer: "I have a question, I'll let you go after I ask. How many people have you ambushed outside the city?"

The complexion of the clinker man in black suddenly changed, the muscles on his face almost twisted, and he fell down heavily after a while.

"Suicide!" Shen Youzhi said in shock.

"What a fierce killer!" Di Renjie couldn't help sighing.

"My lord, what should we do now?" Li Yuanfang asked.

"At this point, they will never let us go." Di Renjie replied: "These killers are all desperadoes, even if we return to the post, they will not let it go, but will hurt the innocent guards in the post. "

"Then the two of us will escort you out!" Shen Youzhi suggested.

Although it was reckless, but with his and Li Yuanfang's martial arts, it is not difficult to protect Di Renjie and rush out.

"No!" Di Renjie stopped immediately: "The other party has a large number of powerful people and well-planned plans. We should not fight head-on with them. We can only escape the shell!"

After speaking, he took Shen Youzhi and Li Yuanfang to hide in a nearby room.

The most dangerous place is the safest place.

If those people came here and saw the black-clothed killer dead and injured, they would definitely think that they had escaped, and they would never think that they would dare to stay here.

After about a stick of incense, as expected, another large group of people came here.

However, they only observed the scene for a while and left quickly.

After the group of people left, the three of Shen Youzhi walked out of the house slowly.

Di Renjie then said: "Get out of the city right now!"

On the outskirts of Chang'an, an earthen kiln

After Di Renjie took Shen Youzhi and Li Yuanfang out of the city, he went straight to this place.

This was originally the place where the prisoner Liu Jin was held, but now it was burned to ruins by a big fire.

Di Renjie looked at the ruined walls, carefully searched every corner, and finally found a remaining white silk handkerchief.

"My lord, why don't you go to Shendu, but come here instead?" Li Yuanfang asked without knowing why.

"I don't know." Shen Youzhi replied: "I think Mr. Di's move has other deep meanings."

Although he knew it clearly in his heart, it was impossible to say it.

At this moment, Di Renjie came over and said, "Let's go back to the inn!"

In this way, Li Yuanfang who was confused and Shen Youzhi who pretended to be confused accompanied Di Renjie back to the inn.

Inside the inn, Di Renjie said to Shen Youzhi and Li Yuanfang: "In three days, the emperor will go to Yuanjue Temple to offer incense, and I will meet the emperor quietly in the temple.

The two of you are waiting here for the time being, and I will come to you after I see the emperor. "

Unlike the original work, Di Renjie did not analyze the case with Li Yuanfang.

Presumably, it was because Shen Youzhi's joining made Di Renjie more cautious, so he kept the details of the case tight-lipped.

Shen Youzhi and Li Yuanfang looked at each other and nodded together.

Three days later, Di Renjie left.

Shen Youzhi stayed at the inn with Li Yuanfang.

Now, he finally had time to sort out the current situation——

At present, it seems that he has successfully entered into Di Renjie's side. Although he has not fully gained Di Renjie's trust, at least he is on the line with him.

The first step of his plan was successfully completed.

As for why he did this, we have to start with the reason for his time travel.

He was originally a student in modern society, but he found a broken armillary sphere in the antique market, and then he was inexplicably reincarnated into this world.

In this world, his real name is not Shen Youzhi, but Li Xuan.

His grandfather is King Pu Li Tai, the fourth son of Emperor Taizong and Empress Wende, and the direct elder brother of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi.

His father was Li Xin, who was the hereditary king of Pu.

Although he is not from the lineage of Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi, he is also a serious member of the Li and Tang royal family.

If it was at any other time, the identity of the descendants of the royal family would naturally be born at the finish line.

But in Wu Zhou, under the rule of Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in the ages who changed Tang to Zhou, the descendants of Li Tang were not a good status.

It cannot be said that he lost at the starting line, it can only be regarded as born on the edge of a cliff.

Fortunately, Shen Youzhi knew the direction of history, so he devoted himself to Taoism before Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor.

Relying on the memory and Su Hui of his previous life, Shen Youzhi was able to understand the essence of Taoism when he was young. He recites Taoist scriptures every day and does not ask about common things, so he is called "Taoist".

Even Sima Chengjia, a celestial master of the Maoshan School and one of the ten friends of Xianzong, praised him for his "natural nature".

Relying on these names, Shen Youzhi was sealed to Changzhou, far away from Luoyang, where Maoshan Sect, the holy land of Taoism, was located, and became an idle prince.

Therefore, he stayed away from the political center and escaped Wu Zetian's purge of Li's descendants.

And the armillary sphere that caused him to cross has been staying in his Niwan Palace since he crossed, and he can see it as long as he closes his eyes and concentrates.

The whole body of this armillary sphere is yellow, and it is not known what material it is made of. Apart from the base, there is only one longitude and latitude, and the word "Queen of God" is engraved on the longitude and latitude.

The Queen of God is actually the Zishu, who is the head of the 12th Yuanchen.

Based on this, Shen Youzhi deduced that the armillary sphere should have twelve longitudes and latitudes, but somehow it was damaged so that only one remained.

Not only that, Shen Youzhi can also feel the information from this armillary sphere.

However, since he came to this world until now, the armillary sphere has only passed down four words to him—Jun Lin Tian Tian.

The meaning of these four words is self-evident.

But when is it now?
It's Wu Zhou!

During this period, the royal family of the Li family was lucky to be able to save their lives. Who would dare to touch the supreme position?
Not to mention him as King An, even Wu Zetian's own son, Prince Li Xian, had to be careful in every word and deed, and lived in fear every day.

Why is this happening?

Without him, the lesson from the past is still in front of us!

Isn't Li Xian, the prince of Zhanghuai, also Wu Zetian's own son?

It's not that Wu Zetian bestowed him with death.

No matter who it is, as long as there is a possibility of threatening Wu Zetian's status, even if it is her own son, she will get rid of it without hesitation!

If it wasn't for the Li Tang faction to protect the prince, and Wu Zetian couldn't completely break with the Li Tang faction in the court, I'm afraid Li Xian would become the second Li Xian.

What about Shen Youzhi?

Although he is King An, he is not from Gaozong's bloodline, let alone Wu Zetian's bloodline.

In other words, even if Wu Zetian abdicated, it would not be his turn to inherit the throne.

Therefore, if he wants to achieve the goal of "King's Landing of the World", it is absolutely impossible to follow the formal path.

Fortunately, it is not the Wu Zhou in history, but the Wu Zhou of the detective Di Renjieli.

This gave Shen Youzhi a certain amount of room to maneuver.

You know, in the world of Detective Di Renjie, there are martial arts and disguises!

Just like now, Shen Youzhi not only possesses superb martial arts, but also has a disguised face.

Di Renjie has been with him for so long, but he still can't realize that his face is actually easy to bear!

Because Di Renjie first came into contact with the almost buggy skill of "Disguise" and had to wait until the next Youzhou case.

Relying on the unknown trumpet of "Shen Youzhi" and the innate advantage of being familiar with the plot, as long as the operation is done well, it is not impossible to rule the world.

The first step of Shen Youzhi's plan is to get rid of Ying Wang Yuanqi.

Because Ying Wang Yuanqi's fief is in Yangzhou, adjacent to Changzhou where he is located.

When Xu Jingye rebelled, Yuan Qi destroyed his family and made great contributions. Wu Zetian named him King Ying, and his fief was in Yangzhou.

Yuan Qi was very powerful, not only the officials in Yangzhou followed his lead, but also several surrounding counties and counties also had his minions.

If Shen Youzhi wants to develop his own power, he must first get rid of Yuan Qi's sharp sword hanging over his head.

Otherwise, Yuan Qi will notice him if he makes a big move, and there is only a dead end waiting for him.

However, Shen Youzhi alone would never be able to get rid of Yuan Qi.

Because his character is set as an idle prince who is dedicated to the Tao, and he has no other forces except for a few cronies.

And Yuan Qi not only controlled the officialdom in Yangzhou, but also kept thousands of desperadoes in the iron hand regiment.

The difference in strength between the two is too great.

If Shen Youzhi wants to get rid of Yuan Qi, he can only rely on external force.

For this reason, he thought of Di Renjie.

This is how he intercepted the imperial guard alone.

In the original book, the Yangzhou case was triggered by the shipwreck in Hangou and the death of Li Han, a doctor of the Ministry of Water.

In terms of time, at least ten years later.

But Shen Youzhi couldn't wait ten years!

Therefore, he could only put Yuan Qi's conspiracy on the table in advance, and use Di Renjie's hand to get rid of Yuan Qi.

Although Yuan Qi has not yet planned such a shocking case as the shipwreck in Hangou, it is a fact that he secretly supported the killers of the Iron Hands and colluded with Yangzhou officials to deduct the salary of the water workers.

The latter charge may not be lethal, but as long as the former charge is a little divergent, it is enough to convict him of treason!
A king with a different surname actually raised thousands of desperadoes in secret. Based on this alone, ten Yuan Qis are not enough to kill Wu Zetian!
As long as Yuan Qi is eliminated, Shen Youzhi can secretly develop his own power, and when the time comes, he can aspire to the top of the world.

This is a long program.

Now, this plan has just taken the first step.
