The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 47 Wu Zetian Summons

After the Huzhou case, Shen Youzhi completely fell silent.

Apart from practicing Daoyin every day, he spends the rest of his time concentrating on cultivating trusted followers and managing various affairs related to the development of the organization.

Now he is still in the entrepreneurial stage, and all affairs must be done by himself.

This is both to ensure that there are no mistakes, but also to establish their own prestige.

In this way, a year passed by.

During this year, Shen Youzhi's power has continued to expand, and his eyeliner has spread all over Changzhou. If there is any disturbance, he will receive the news immediately.

The most important thing is that the entire intelligence organization from top to bottom, from Zhao Xiu, the general manager, to the middle-level commanders, are all personally selected, trained and promoted by him, and his loyalty is absolutely beyond doubt.

Not only that, he also successfully took out the treasure of King Yue, and it has been transferred to the underground secret room of the palace.

With financial support, Shen Youzhi's plan to infiltrate Changzhou's officialdom and the army is also progressing smoothly.

However, reality cannot all develop according to the plan established by a certain person, and there are always accidents.

While Shen Youzhi was developing in a low-key manner, the emperor passed the imperial decree to this remote Changzhou——

Urgently summon An Wang Li Xuan to go to the gods to face the saint!
Just such a sentence, unclear.

But Shen Youzhi already had a guess in his heart.

In recent days, Changzhou's inner guards have been bloodbathed by a mysterious force.

After Shen Youzhi received the news, he immediately thought of the bloody eagle case in the original book.

This case was planned by Wu Zetian's own daughter, Princess Taiping. The purpose was to cleanse the inner guards and eventually kill Wu Zetian, so as to provoke the internal strife between Prince Li Xian and Liang Wang Wu Sansi, and she herself reaped the benefits.

Although the bloody eagle case looks weird and frightening, judging from its conception, this case is the simplest among the three cases in the first part of the detective Di Renjie.

It's just because a lot of ghost elements are added, so it looks eerie.

The main line of the bloody eagle case is also very clear——

In the former Sui Dynasty, there was a mighty general named Yuwen Chengdu, who was the commander of the former Sui Xiaoguo Army.

At the end of the former Sui Dynasty, the whole world turned against each other, and the Xiaoguo army was besieged by Dou Jiande's troops.

However, Yuwen Chengdu was extremely brave. Although Dou Jiande trapped the Xiaoguo army, he was unable to completely defeat them for a long time.

For this reason, his counselors thought of a divorce plan.

They secretly contacted Jiang Xiaolang, Yuwen Chengdu's general, and lured him to betray Yuwen Chengdu with a high salary.

Sure enough, Jiang Xiaolang couldn't bear the temptation, took advantage of Yu Wencheng's deep sleep, cut off his head, and surrendered to Dou Jiande.

Afterwards, Dou Jiande was defeated by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, Jiang Xiaolang turned to Li Tang and joined the Right Wei Guards.

In the early years of Zhenguan, Jiang Xiaolang was found out because he was involved in the conspiracy of Hou Junji, so he had to lead his troops to escape from the Youwei Guards, and came to Henan County to establish Jiangjiayuan.

He spent money to bribe the magistrate, assumed a false identity, changed his name to Gao Rujin, and became the magistrate of Henan County.

In the eighth year of Zhenguan, You Weiwei sent people to Henan County to investigate Jiang Xiaolang's whereabouts.

Relying on his identity as the county magistrate, Gao Rujin lured the soldiers who came to investigate into the Jiang family compound, and killed them together with his old troops.

In order to destroy the corpses and traces, Gao Rujin set fire to the entire Jiang family compound.

Other people in the Jiang family compound, that is, Gao Rujin's wife and children, were also burned to death.

Later, You Weiwei sent people to investigate the matter again.

Jiang Xiaolang knew that sooner or later he would be exposed, so he decided to take the risk.

He first found a Taoist priest named "Xu Guzi" and asked him to spread the news that the murder in the Jiang Family Courtyard was the work of Yuwen Chengdu's ghosts.

Then Gao Rujin recruited another group of killers, killed the second batch of Youweiwei officers who came to investigate and all his former subordinates, and then set fire to the entire Jiang family.

Since then, Jiang Xiaolang's identity has completely disappeared from the world.

The legend that Yuwen Chengdu turned into a ghost and claimed his life has also been handed down.

Later, Wang Zhiyuan, Xuguzi's disciple, found out about this, and contacted Princess Taiping, trying to assassinate the emperor without anyone noticing it.

They first threatened Gao Rujin with Jiang Xiaolang's old file in Lintai, asking him to cooperate with them.

Then, they used the theory of ghosts to kill, and created bloody eagle tragedies in four states and ten states. In fact, they cleaned the inner guards and wanted to pull out Wu Zetian's eyeliner.

The reason why "Li Gui" cut off the head and left arm of the deceased was also to cover up the identity of the deceased as an internal guard.

Not only that, but they also bought Chunxiang, Wu Zetian's personal maid, to add hallucinogenic drugs to Wu Zetian's diet, so that Wu Zetian often dreamed that ghosts were dying.

Wu Zetian had already killed too much, so she was naturally afraid that her former enemies would turn into ghosts and gods to claim her life.

In addition, he was harassed by nightmares in the illusion day and night, and his spirit was unbearable.

The inner guards in various places were massacred by "spirits" one after another.

All this made Wu Zetian firmly believe in the theory of ghosts and gods.

Princess Taiping took the opportunity to recommend Wang Zhiyuan.

Wang Zhiyuan also performed a farce in front of Wu Zetian, pretending to be angry at ghosts and gods.

And Chunxiang also stopped taking the medicine in time, allowing Wu Zetian to regain consciousness for a short time.

This made Wu Zetian believe that Wang Zhiyuan was a true cultivator, and named him a national teacher.

Later, Wang Zhiyuan took the opportunity to present a set of so-called "magic tools" for Wu Zetian to wear before going to bed, saying that it could drive away ghosts and evil spirits.

In fact, it was just a set of lightning-guiding devices.

Wang Zhiyuan wanted to use the power of thunder to kill Wu Zetian without warning!

This is the whole plan of Princess Taiping, which is the main line of the Bloody Eagle case.

It is not difficult to see that compared with the Youzhou case and the Huzhou case, the main line of this case is very clear, and there are not many branch lines.

In addition to being covered with a layer of "ghosts and gods" fog, the design is not so delicate.

But it is precisely this theory of "ghosts and gods" that not only frightened Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai, but also almost confused Di Renjie.

After all, people at this time were still in awe of ghosts and gods, even Di Renjie was no exception.

Although he didn't believe in ghosts, his belief was not firm, so he was almost shaken.

Fortunately, he came to his senses at the last moment, and by relying on the official position again, he discovered that the real identity of the official deceased was the inner guard, and only then did he crack the bloody eagle case.

Originally, Shen Youzhi didn't intend to get involved in this case.

For one thing, although the case was weird, it was not profitable, so there was no need for him to intervene extravagantly.

Secondly, he had just lifted King Ying's oppression and got King Yue's treasure. His power was developing rapidly and he needed to stay in Changzhou to take charge of the overall situation.

Thirdly, Princess Taiping's act of purging the inner guard is also good for him, and can reduce the inner guard's surveillance of him.

Therefore, he has no intention of intervening.

But now that the imperial decree is coming, he can't help it if he doesn't want to get involved.

Shen Youzhi knew that this incident was mostly caused by his reputation.

In order to avoid Wu Zetian's killing and cleaning of the Li family, he devoted himself to Taoism. He was called "Taoist" by the world, and was praised by the celestial master Sima Chengjia as "Taoism is natural".

Now that the palace is "haunted", the emperor would naturally think of him, the world-famous "Daoist", to drive away ghosts and suppress evil spirits.

Although this matter was beyond Shen Youzhi's expectation, it can't be regarded as a good thing, but it can't be said to be a bad thing either.

If I solve the case as Li Xuan and help Wu Zetian escape from the nightmare, I can also gain the other party's trust, alleviate the other party's suspicion, and help myself develop my power secretly.

Of course, the bigger reason is that the imperial decree has come, and no matter whether you want it or not, you are not qualified to resist the decree now.

Therefore, instead of thinking about the bad, it is better to think about the good that this matter can bring.
