The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 44 frame the blame
Huzhou County, Yubei Lane

Taking advantage of the darkness, Shen Youzhi quickly ran across the rooftops, and soon came to a hidden courtyard.

This is the place where Xu Shide imprisoned Li Gui, the son of King Yue - Yubei Lane.

Soon, Prince Li Xian will also be arrested here by Xu Shide.

What Shen Youzhi has to do now is to find a safe place to live and wait for Xu Shide to show up.

five days later, night

Shen Youzhi looked at the big tree beside him, tapped his foot, and flew to the top of the tree.

Standing on this high place, he can clearly see the entire Yubei Lane.

After squatting for five days, he finally waited for Xu Shide and Li Xian.

Not only that, Shen Youzhi also found Li Yuanfang who was also following here.

However, Li Yuanfang was crawling on the roof at this time, closely monitoring Xu Shide's actions.

And Shen Youzhi stayed far away, hiding on the big tree in the distance, observing the entire courtyard from a distance.

Not long after, Shen Youzhi saw Xu Shide, who was wearing a purple robe, walking out of the courtyard quickly.

Li Yuanfang, who was secretly watching, also practiced lightness kung fu and followed Xu Shide away.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Seeing Li Yuanfang leaving, Shen Youzhi followed from a distance and quickly disappeared into the night.

Xu Shide left the small courtyard, shuttled through the alleyways of Huzhou County, and soon came to the courtyard gate of a large vermilion lacquer family.

He took out his waist badge for the patrolling guards to monitor.

"go in!"

After confirming that it was correct, the guard said.

Only then did Xu Shide slowly walk into the courtyard.

Seeing this situation, Li Yuanfang, who was hiding in the dark, knew that the identities of the people in the courtyard must be extraordinary.

But at this time, the situation was urgent, and he didn't care too much, so he jumped up to the roof.

Li Yuanfang gently lifted off the roof tiles and looked down——

A woman was sitting in the room, with several guards and servants standing beside her.

But Xu Shide knelt down in front of the woman respectfully, reporting something to her.

Li Yuanfang stretched his neck forward slightly, and fixed his eyes on the woman's face.

When he saw the woman's face clearly, he broke out in a cold sweat.

That woman is none other than Emperor Wu Zetian!
How is this going?

Why did the emperor come to Huzhou?

Who is that purple-robed man, and why can he face Sheng Jia?
Why did he kidnap the prince?
What is his purpose?
Li Yuanfang was puzzled by this series of mysteries, so he could only listen carefully to the conversation in the room——

Xu Shide, who was half kneeling, bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows, not daring to look directly at Long Yan, and only respectfully reported: "Your Majesty, everything has been clarified.

Prince Li Xian and Yue King's rebellious son Li Gui, the former Ministry Liu Chali, Wu Xiaojie and others have been secretly communicating with each other, planning to plot rebellion. "

"Are you sure?" Wu Zetian asked coldly.

A few months ago, Xu Shide reported to her that the prince was behaving strangely, or suspected of treason.

Although she was angry at the time, she didn't believe it in her heart.

Because she knew her son very well, he was timid and cowardly all his life, acted timidly, and never had the courage to rebel.

If not, she would not have spared Li Xian's life.

Of Wu Zetian's sons, only Prince Li Xian and Prime Minister Li Dan are still alive today.

It is not a coincidence or luck that these two people can live, but it is because of their character.

Prince Li Xian was cowardly by nature and indecisive in dealing with affairs. Even if he had the Li Tang faction as his supporters, he would not dare to act arbitrarily.

Prime Minister Li Dan had an indifferent personality and was never attached to power and status. He was appointed emperor twice, and returned power to Wu Zetian on his own initiative twice.

Therefore, Wu Zetian was very relieved of Xiang Wang Li Dan, knowing that he was a clear master.

One of the two dared not, the other was unwilling, and it was impossible for them to take the initiative to threaten Wu Zetian's status, so they naturally avoided the butcher's knife.

Although she didn't believe that Li Xian had the guts to rebel, she asked Xu Shide to continue to follow up and investigate to find out the prince's movements.

Until a few days ago, Xu Shide reported that the prince had left the East Palace privately and sneaked into Huzhou.

This made Wu Zetian very annoyed, and the prince went out of the palace to go to the place privately. With this alone, she could abolish Li Xian's position as prince!
But in order to find out the purpose of that "good son", she did not immediately draw up an order, but decided to drive to Huzhou to have a look and see how her "good son" planned to deal with her.

"This matter was witnessed by the humble official, and it is absolutely true!"

Facing the emperor's questioning, Xu Shide hastily replied: "The inner guards under the humble staff have found out the news: they will meet at Yubei Lane in the county seat at midnight tonight.

If your majesty has any doubts, you can lead Habayashi Wei to go there in person to arrest the traitors! "

Seeing Xu Shide's precise words, and even finding out the time and place of Li Xian's meeting with the traitor, Wu Zetian was suddenly furious, slammed the chair, couldn't help getting up and scolding: "This traitor!"

Seeing that Wu Zetian was getting angry, Xu Shide wanted to add fuel to the fire, but he pretended to hesitate, and tentatively said: "There is one more thing about the humble job, which should be reported to the Holy One."

"Speak." Wu Zetian took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said.

"The internal envoy Di Renjie seems to be involved in this reverse case." Xu Shide replied cautiously.

Originally, in his plan, there was no place for Di Renjie.

However, as Di Renjie continued to follow the vine, he was about to grab the hem of his clothes, and even Zeng Tai, his inner guard, was drawn over by Di Renjie.

It is estimated that they already know that the prince has been imprisoned in Yubei Lane by himself, and they are preparing to rescue him.

As a last resort, he could only temporarily adjust his plan, planning to kill Di Renjie, the minister of the cabinet, in Huzhou!
Hearing that Di Renjie was also involved in the "conspiracy", Wu Zetian frowned, and asked, "Oh? Do you have proof?"

She didn't believe Xu Shide's words.

Wu Zetian couldn't be more clear about Di Renjie's character as an old fox. Although he is a firm Li Tang faction, it is absolutely impossible for him to do such a rebellious thing.

Seeing that the emperor didn't believe him, Xu Shide hurriedly threw out the "evidence" and said, "The internal guards under the humble staff found out that the first thing the prince did after he came to Huzhou was to see Di Renjie."

Even so, Wu Zetian still couldn't believe that Di Renjie would be so unwise to participate in Li Xian's "conspiracy".

She thought for a long time, but still shook her head slowly, and said in a low voice: "Impossible, Di Huaiying is loyal and loyal to me, and will never participate in conspiracy."

Speaking of this, Wu Zetian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We will discuss this matter later."

It's too early to say anything now, everything depends on what happens in Yubei Lane tonight.

If Di Renjie was really so rebellious and conspired with the prince in an attempt to rebel and cause chaos, then she would definitely make that old fox regret it for the rest of her life!
"Yes."

Seeing this, Xu Shide stopped talking.

On the roof, after listening to the conversation, Li Yuanfang's clothes were soaked in cold sweat.

Now he finally understands, it turns out that the men in black on Cuiping Mountain are all subordinates of this purple-robed man, and they are all plum blossom internal guards!
This purple-robed man set up such a clever trick with painstaking efforts to frame the crown prince!
Obviously he was the one who tied the prince to Yubei Lane, but he told the emperor that the prince went there on his own initiative to discuss the rebellion with the rebels.

If this matter is confirmed, then the crown prince will be unable to argue, and will die!
No!

Right now the prince and Lord Di are in deep crisis, I must rush to Yubei Lane immediately to rescue the prince!

After a moment of contemplation, Li Yuanfang covered the tiles, then jumped up and disappeared into the night.

In the distance, when Shen Youzhi saw Li Yunfang leaving, he knew that the matter had reached the last moment, so he kept watching the door, waiting for Xu Shide to appear.

Soon, Xu Shide in a purple robe walked out slowly.

Seeing this, Shen Youzhi followed up again.
