Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 106 The Emperor Arrives
In Yubei Lane in Huzhou City, lamp balls and torches illuminate the street like daytime.

The archers of the Habayashi guards pointed their bows at the gate of the vermilion lacquer courtyard.

Wu Zetian sat in the soft chair, with a sneer on his face, quietly watching the movement in the courtyard.

General Habayashi stepped forward quickly; "Your Majesty, did you order Habayashi to attack!"

Wu Zetian smiled: "Don't worry, wait a little longer, I understand Li Xian, he will definitely come out."

Before the words were finished, the courtyard door opened with a "squeak", and a person walked over quickly, it was Di Renjie!Wu Zetian's face changed abruptly.

"Stop! Go ahead and shoot the arrow!"

shouted the archer.

Wu Zetian said coldly: "Let him come over."

The archers stepped out of the way, and Di Renjie walked over quickly, knelt down on both knees, and kowtowed: "Chen Di Renjie kowtows to His Majesty, long live, long live!"

Wu Zetian looked at him, and said in a strange way: "Huaiying, what are you doing here? You can't be involved in the prince's conspiracy, right?"

Di Renjie took a deep breath and said, "I don't dare. Your Majesty, I heard that the crown prince and the King of Yue, Li Gui and Liu Chali, conspired to rebel here, so they came here to capture them!"

Wu Zetian sneered: "Capture?"

Di Renjie replied: "Yes."

Wu Zetian said coldly: "I don't think so! Di Renjie, you don't have to play such tricks in front of me! Just now the inner guard secretly reported that you participated in the rebellion, I still don't believe it, but now I see it with my own eyes, you are still talking nonsense Sophistry!"

Di Renjie smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the words of the inner guard may not be credible."

"You are presumptuous!"

Wu Zetian's face suddenly changed.

She slapped the chair hard, and roared angrily: "Di Renjie, even now, you are still slanderous! It is obvious that you and the crown prince secretly colluded to plan a rebellion with Li Gui and Liu Chali, the king of Yue's rebellious party. It's so ridiculous to evade in every possible way and say that you came to capture him! You think I can't be bullied!"

Di Renjie raised his head: "Your Majesty said that the minister participated in the rebellion, what proof do you have?"

Wu Zetian snorted coldly: "Just relying on you to walk out of this gate is a crime of treason! Do you need any evidence! Di Renjie, Di Renjie, I treat you like my heart, and I entrust you to depose the ambassador of Jiangnan Road. Colluding with the rebellious party and conspiring to rebel is really a wolfish ambition and a crime that cannot be punished! Come and take down this rebel!"

Qianniuwei behind Wu Zetian rushed up and pushed Di Renjie to the ground.

Di Renjie shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, can Rong Chen also say a few words!"

Wu Zetian took a deep breath, and saw that Di Renjie was calm and calm, with no nervous expression on his face, and she was also a little uncertain.

She calmed down the anger in her heart, snorted heavily, and waved her hand: "Let him go!"

Qian Niuwei let go of Di Renjie.

Wu Zetian said, "What else do you have to say?"

Di Renjie said indignantly: "Your Majesty should go to the court to see how the minister participated in the rebellion if he wanted to punish the minister for his crime."

Wu Zetian sneered: "Okay, I'm going in to have a look."

In the courtyard, Zeng Tai and others waited anxiously.

Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside the door: "The emperor is here!"

Zeng Tai and all the imperial guards in the courtyard knelt down and shouted in unison: "Welcome to the holy car!"

Accompanied by guards, Wu Zetian and Di Renjie walked in quickly.

As soon as she entered the door, she was stunned by the scene in front of her. There were more than a dozen corpses of men in black lying on the ground, bleeding everywhere.

Wu Zetian glanced at Di Renjie, who had a smile on his face.

Wu Zetian looked at the corpse on the ground, and asked Di Renjie, "What's going on?"

Di Renjie bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, when I heard that the crown prince conspired against the rebels Li Gui and Liu Chali, I immediately led the imperial guards to come. These people in black are all rebels under the crown prince. Killed in the courtyard."

Wu Zetian looked at him suspiciously: "Oh?"

Di Renjie said: "Your Majesty, the imperial guards are the emperor's own army, and I'm not so stupid as to bring the imperial guards here to participate in the conspiracy!"

Wu Zetian glanced at him, his face softened a little.

Di Renjie pointed at Zeng Tai and said, "Master Zeng Tai is the county magistrate of Huzhou and also an internal guard. Your Majesty, please ask him, is this subject involved in conspiracy?"

Wu Zetian glanced at Zeng Tai and asked, "Are you an inner guard?"

Zeng Tai replied: "Yes. Wei Chen was moved to the county magistrate of Huzhou by the order of the Weifu a year and a half ago. The task is to cooperate with the practical internal guards to monitor Huzhou."

Wu Zetian nodded: "Get up and answer."

Zeng Tai stood up.

Wu Zetian asked, "What's going on here?"

Zeng Tai hurriedly said: "Tonight, I got the news that there was a rebellious party meeting in Yubei Lane. Master Di heard about it and led his troops to capture him."

Wu Zetian said: "In this way, you are really here to capture the rebellious party."

Zeng Tai replied: "Yes."

Wu Zetian glanced at Di Renjie, and his face gradually softened: "Huaiying, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Di Renjie said with a smile: "It's the minister's words that are unknown, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Wu Zetian also laughed, she looked at the main room and said, "Go in and have a look."

As she spoke, she walked in quickly, and Di Renjie, Zeng Tai and others followed her into the room behind her.

In the main room, the body of Liu Zhali in a purple robe was lying in a corner, and there were several corpses of men in black scattered beside him.

Wu Zetian looked around and asked, "Where is the prince?"

Di Renjie said: "Your Majesty, I have never seen the crown prince."

Wu Zetian frowned: "The prince is not here?"

Di Renjie looked at the corpse on the ground, and sighed: "It's a pity, this person is dead, otherwise, maybe we can get something out of them."

Wu Zetian said: "Who are these people?"

Di Renjie said: "This is Liu Zhali, who used to be the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and he was also the captain of the King of Yue's guard."

Wu Zetian gritted her teeth and said, "This traitor! It's a crime beyond reproach!"

Wu Zetian nodded and asked, "How did they die?"

Di Renjie said: "By the time I came in, these people were already dead."

Wu Zetian looked at the situation in the room and said, "Huaiying, what did the room look like when you came in?"

Di Renjie said: "That's how it is now."

Wu Zetian said word by word: "Murder to silence."

Di Renjie nodded: "I think so too, this must be the real Nikui who saw the minister leading the army and had no choice but to kill and silence him."

Wu Zetian hesitated and said, "You mean that the prince killed everyone in this room?"

Di Renjie said, "It should be."

Wu Zetian showed suspicion: "Did the prince kill so many people?"

Di Renjie said: "I have never seen it with my own eyes. When I entered the door, the light was dark. When the light was turned on, I found that everyone had been killed."

Wu Zetian pondered for a long time, then she slowly shook her head: "I know Li Xian, and I believe that he harbored resentment, and even conspired secretly. However, he was weak since he was a child, and said that he personally killed these people, It is absolutely impossible to leave calmly!"

Di Renjie remained silent.

Wu Zetian pondered for a moment, then shook his sleeves: "Let's go, what happened here is not enough to convict the prince."
