Chapter 46
How Di Renjie rescued the prince, how he was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Wu Zetian, and how he abandoned the car to save the handsome man from danger will not be mentioned for the time being, but only Xu Shide.

He lured the emperor to Yubei Lane, and after using Liu Zhali's corpse as a golden cicada, he sneaked back to the old Yuelai store in the west of the city.

Inside the house, Xu Shide took off his mask, took off his purple robe, and quickly changed into a Qianniuwei costume.

Then he went under the bed, took out a package, and opened it with his hand. Inside were two copies of "The Story of the Blue Shirt".

Xu Shide pulled out his dagger, cut off the connection, took out the picture silk hidden in the two books, threw the books into the iron basin, picked up the oil lamp and lit the mask, purple robe and "The Story of the Blue Shirt" in the iron basin.

In an instant, flames blazed up, and all physical evidence was burned.

However, what Xu Shide didn't expect was that all of this was seen by the two people.

One is Li Yuanfang, and the other is naturally Shen Youzhi.

Li Yuanfang wanted to rush into the house and capture Xu Shide on the spot, but she was afraid that he would startle the snake, so she turned around and left, preparing to go back and report to Di Renjie.

And Shen Youzhi continued to watch Xu Shide secretly, watching with his own eyes that he hid the two maps in a mechanism.

Not long after, Xu Shide packed everything up and left Yuelai's old shop slowly.

Shen Youzhi knew that he was going to ask the emperor for leave to return home so that he could take the opportunity to get the third book "The Story of the Blue Shirt" hidden in Liu Chuanlin's room.

It's a pity that Xu Shide will never know that the last book "The Story of the Blue Shirt" he has been thinking about has already been transferred!

After Xu Shide left, Shen Youzhi sneaked into the house quietly.

Shen Youzhi imitated Xu Shide's operation and activated the organ.

The fragments of the two treasure maps lie quietly in the cassette.

Shen Youzhi suppressed his agitated heart and took the last two maps.

So far, the three map fragments that record the treasures of King Yue have all been collected by him.

From the beginning to the end, he never appeared in this big case, but in the end he became the only beneficiary.

Although he obtained a complete treasure map, Shen Youzhi didn't have the ability to take out the treasure right now.

Because there are countless gold, silver and weapons and armor in the treasure of King Yue, it takes a lot of manpower to carry it.

Shen Youzhi is alone right now, so naturally he can't take out the treasure.

He can only return to Changzhou first, and then send a team of henchmen to quietly take out the treasure.

Fortunately, both Huzhou and Changzhou are in the south of the Yangtze River, not far from each other, so it is not too troublesome to transfer these treasures.

With this in mind, Shen Youzhi didn't stay in the right and wrong place for a long time, and left Yuelai's old shop quickly.

After that, he did not stay in Huzhou, but went directly to Changzhou.

As for the battle of wits and courage between Di Renjie and Xu Shide, Shen Youzhi is not interested.

Anyway, the most important treasure of King Yue in this case has already fallen into his own hands, so let those people fight!
Two days later

When the first ray of morning sun shone in front of the gate of Liujiazhuang, Di Renjie led Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai out.

Looking at the newborn red sun, Di Renjie stretched his waist long: "Go back and get a good sleep!"

He had just experienced a near-death situation, and relying on the news sent by Li Yuanfang in time and Liu Chuanlin who survived the catastrophe, he achieved a thrilling comeback and saved the prince's life.

After all this, Di Renjie was physically and mentally exhausted, so he naturally wanted to take a good rest.

Li Yuanfang on the side still had many doubts in his heart, looked at Di Renjie, and asked, "My lord, did you really invite the prince here?"

Di Renjie was taken aback, exchanged glances with Zeng Tai, and burst out laughing.

Seeing this situation, Li Yuanfang also smiled: "This question is a bit stupid."

Di Renjie explained: "If I didn't say that, the prince would have committed a serious crime. He left the capital without permission and met with foreign ministers in private. Based on this alone, the emperor can depose the prince."

Zeng Tai paid attention to another mystery and asked, "My lord, only one copy of "The Story of the Blue Shirt" was found on Xu Shide, what about the other two copies?"

Di Renjie took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "This is another eternal mystery!"

"My lord, do you want to give the book "The Story of the Blue Shirt" in your hand to the emperor?"

Li Yuanfang asked another simple question, which made Di Renjie and Zeng Tai laugh.

"Yuan Fang, keeping the crown prince is already our greatest success." Di Renjie said earnestly, "Let this case be settled.

If "The Story of the Blue Shirt" is handed over, how many troubles will be caused! "

Both being detectives, this is the difference between Di Renjie and Bao Zheng, Song Ci and others.

Di Renjie is a politician first and a detective second.

In other words, what he first considers is not the truth, but the political influence behind it.

For the stability of the court and the stability of the crown prince's position, he must conceal these inappropriate things.

"Let's go, this time I will sleep till tomorrow!"

Di Renjie laughed and said as he walked.

Seeing this, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai also followed closely.

The figures of the three disappeared in Liujiazhuang very quickly.

Changzhou, Prince An's Mansion
After Shen Youzhi returned to the palace, he immediately called for Zhao Xiu.

"My lord, why did you come back so soon this time?" Zhao Xiu was a little surprised.

Last time, the prince left for three full months before returning, but this time he went out for less than half a month.

"After the matter is done, I will come back naturally." Shen Youzhi said lightly.

Afterwards, he instructed Zhao Xiu: "Go and select a group of reliable cronies, and leave important matters to them in the future."

"I don't know how many people the prince wants?"

Although Zhao Xiu didn't understand why, he still asked honestly.

Shen Youzhi thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't need too many people, just three to fifty people."

Although the number of King Yue's treasures is huge, it is obviously impossible for Shen Youzhi to take them out all at once.

In order not to attract attention, he could only take out the treasure several times.

In this way, there is no need for too many manpower, and 50 people are enough.

"When will the prince use it?"

Zhao Xiu asked again.

"No hurry." Shen Youzhi said: "It will be used at least a year later."

Now is definitely not the time. The Huzhou case has just been concluded and it is still in a sensitive period. Taking action at this time will easily attract suspicion.

At least one year later, when the aftermath of the case subsided, it would be more appropriate to act again.

Later, he specifically warned: "These people must be absolutely reliable, and there must be no news leaked out, understand?"

"Yes."

Zhao Xiu responded respectfully.

It is not difficult to screen out thirty or fifty absolutely loyal subordinates in one year.

"Okay, let's go down."

Shen Youzhi waved his hand.

"Subordinates retire."

Zhao Xiu stepped back slowly.

In the small building, Shen Youzhi sat down quietly and began to think about his follow-up plan:

With King Yue's treasure in hand, the third step of the plan has been successfully completed.

The next step is to develop and wait.

After a year, his eyeliner should have spread all over Changzhou.

By then, the turmoil of the Huzhou case had subsided, and he could send someone to quietly take out the treasure of King Yue.

After taking out the treasure of the King of Yue, he will have the capital to grow up, and he can gradually infiltrate into the officialdom and army of Changzhou until he completely controls the military and politics of Changzhou.

According to the timeline in the original book, the latest bloody eagle case will not happen until a year later.

The bloody eagle case was planned by Princess Taiping to clean the inner guards and finally get rid of Wu Zetian's plan.

Princess Taiping's plan was a major cleansing and blow to Wu Zetian's internal guards, and it was of great benefit to Shen Youzhi.

So he didn't intend to intervene.

In other words, at least before the Chongzhou case, Shen Youzhi only needed to develop his own power with peace of mind.
