The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 86
"What! Is he Yuan Tiangang?"

When Di Renjie said that the fake Lu Cheng was actually Yuan Tiangang, Li Yuanfang couldn't help but exclaimed.

Compared with him, Shen Youzhi was much calmer, and asked: "Gong Di, then why is he lurking beside us disguised as Lu Cheng?"

"The Luo River is miraculous."

Di Renjie said with great confidence: "Whether it's lurking by our side or building a lotus pond in the empress dowager's uterus, their ultimate goal is to 'the magic of the Luo River'."

"What exactly is Keluohe Mystery? It is worth their painstaking efforts, even if they don't even want to get rid of the lair, they have to complete it."

Li Yuanfang really couldn't understand the purpose of these people.

"I don't know about this issue now." Di Renjie shook his head and said, "But one thing is certain, the key to their plan must be the Taiwo."

Among the three people present, only Shen Youzhi understood what the "Luo Shen Miracle" was——

The reason why Yuan Tiangang and Snake Spirit took great pains to replace the crown prince, and built a lotus pond in the crown prince's uterus, was to divert the water from the Luo River into the underground of the palace, destroy the palace with the power of the water flow, and bury the emperor and all the courtiers together .

Then, they can use those disguised fakes to steal the world of Wu Zhou as their own.

This plan sounds uncomplicated, but its implementation is extremely cumbersome. It requires not only proficiency in astronomy and hydrology, but also fluid engineering and architectural design, and even the management of personnel scheduling.

The one who can design and implement this plan must be a top engineering talent.

Only Yuan Tiangang, who is so talented as a magician, has the confidence and ability to do this.

"Di Gong, if Lu Cheng is fake, then are Wen Zhong and Xiao Mei also?" Shen Youzhi asked tentatively.

Di Renjie smiled confidently again, and said affirmatively: "Of course they also have another purpose."

"How could it be! Even they?" Li Yuanfang felt unbelievable.

He couldn't imagine what a blow Ruyan would be if she knew that Xiaomei had been cheating on her.

"My lord, since we already know that they have ulterior motives, what should we do? Do we want to catch them now?" Li Yuanfang began to ask about the next plan.

"No hurry, let's wait and see what happens." Di Renjie said calmly: "Since they are still lurking beside us, it means that the time has not come."

"More importantly, the prince is still in their hands." Di Renjie continued: "Once we act rashly, it is very likely to put the prince in danger.

Moreover, only Yuan Tiangang knows about the miraculous things about Luohe. If we want to get it, we can only use tricks.

We just need to keep an eye on their movements, once they start to move, we can do the 'mantis catching cicadas' thing, and after we rescue the prince and learn the mysterious secret of Luohe, we can capture them all in one go. "

After hearing this, Li Yuanfang also nodded cautiously.

Indeed, this matter has a lot to do with the prince's wealth and life, even if there is a slight omission, it will be a disaster like an earth-shaking disaster!

After that, Di Renjie explained some precautions to the two of them.

Shen Youzhi listened silently, but he was thinking about his own plan——

In fact, there is an accurate description in the original book about the time of Luohe's miraculousness. On the [-]th day of the seventh month, the solar eclipse came, and then there was a dark surge from the palace of the crown prince to Linde hall.

But the timing is not credible.

Because according to astronomy, a solar eclipse can only occur on Shuo Ri, which is the first day of each lunar month.

Yuan Tiangang was born in the early Tang Dynasty, so the calendar he used was of course the lunar calendar, so the "July [-]th" he calculated naturally refers to the [-]th day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar. A solar eclipse cannot occur on this day.

As novels and films, there are naturally mistakes and omissions, but the real world has objective physical laws, and the time when Luohe Miracle happened can never be July [-]th.

If Shen Youzhi blindly followed the original book and made his own plan according to this time, it would be tantamount to asking for a sword.

That's why he chose to stay with Di Renjie.

In order to avoid mistakes in the follow-up plan, he must have a timely and accurate understanding of the movements of Di Renjie, Snake Spirit, and the emperor.

palace, hall of prayer
Wu Zetian was sitting on a high platform, quietly listening to Fenghuang, the leader of the Grand Pavilion of the Neiwei Mansion, reporting the news from all over the world.

The affairs of the state were heavy, so Wu Zetian didn't need to personally intervene for general news, they were reported by the phoenix, and they were all about the movements of princes, marquises and other relatives of the emperor.

When Fenghuang reported to Pingnan Marquis Xue Qinglin, the emperor suddenly asked, "Have you found the secret letter in Xue Qinglin's hand?"

Fenghuang was startled, and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy: "This subordinate is incompetent, and I haven't been able to find it yet, please punish me, Your Majesty."

"Hmph!" Wu Zetian said coldly, "Punishment? Can you find the secret letter if you are punished? If so, I don't mind cutting you into pieces!"

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Fenghuang didn't dare to say anything, but silently endured the emperor's anger.

It's not that she doesn't want to work hard to complete the task assigned by the emperor, it's because there are not enough internal guards!

In the case of the Bloody Eagle a few years ago, a large number of internal guards were purged, and Sun Dianchen, the leader of the internal guard cabinet, died in the line of duty.

A few years later, the case of the snake spirit occurred again. Among the leaders of the three big pavilions, Xiao Qingfang was wanted for rebellion, and Huang Shengyan was ambushed on the way to escort Yuan Tiangang, and died at the hands of the snake spirit.

And the nature of the internal guard's organization naturally determines that the personnel review within the organization must be extremely strict, and it is by no means that someone will be replaced overnight, so right now she is the only cabinet leader in charge of the overall situation.

There are so many news from the whole country back to God City every day, how can she take care of it by herself?

"Forget it, let's talk about something else."

After Wu Zetian vented, most of his anger subsided, and he asked about the news of the other princes.

Fenghuang, who survived the catastrophe, breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to continue reporting when the emperor said——

"How is King An moving? Is there anything unusual?"

An Wang?

Fenghuang was stunned for a moment, then his mind raced, and he pulled out the information about King An.

"Your Majesty, King An is as usual, he still stays at home, and talks with hermits every day." Fenghuang replied truthfully.

She had heard about this King An.

This person is different from all the princes, he neither loves power, money, nor beauties, and he only focuses on cultivating Taoism and keeping in good health.

The information sent by my subordinates every month is basically the same,

Because Wang An's schedule is extremely simple, there is really nothing to record.

Wu Zetian nodded slightly after hearing Fenghuang's report.

Among the kings surnamed Li, only King An made her worry the most. He neither talked about political affairs nor formed cliques for personal gain, and was even more loyal to her.

Think about her two useless sons again, hum!
"Okay, that's all for today, let's get back."

Wu Zetian said in a somewhat dispirited manner.

"Yes."

Phoenix took the order and slowly exited the hall.

days later, night

Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang, and Shen Youzhi were talking in low voices in the room.

A shadow suddenly flashed outside the window.

Li Yuanfang and Shen Youzhi were alert at the same time, but they both pretended nothing happened.

After the black shadow left, the two glanced at each other: they started to act!

After a while, there were two yells from the courtyard, it was Ruyan and Xiaomei who discovered the sneaky person.

Hearing the commotion outside, Shen Youzhi glanced at Li Yuanfang and signaled him to come forward to solve the problem.

If the two of them fought together but still let the black shadow run away, it would be too fake.
