Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 178
After hearing what Wang Mang said, Wu Zetian's face turned pale, she sat up from the bed suddenly, and shouted with trembling hands: "Come here!"

Outside the hall, there was a sound of footsteps, and Chunxiang hurried into the hall.

Chunxiang looked around, and Wu Zetian was the only one in the hall.

Wu Zetian said: "Let Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang enter the palace!"

Outside the palace gate, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang stood motionless in the heavy rain.

The guard guarding the gate sighed and said, "Old man, I think you should go back first, the emperor will definitely not summon you tonight."

Di Renjie let out a long sigh: "If you don't do something, you must do something. Even if you freeze to death tonight, you will die in front of this palace gate!"

Before he could finish speaking, he galloped out on horseback, and the servant immediately saw Di Renjie in front of Tixiang's door. He was shocked: "Mr. Guo, why are you here? The emperor summoned you!"

Di Renjie suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Heaven has eyes!"

……

A black figure was listening quietly outside the window, and the light from inside the hall made us see clearly that this person was Chunxiang!

In the hall, Di Renjie and Wu Zetian spoke in a very low voice.

Suddenly, I heard Wu Zetian say: "Okay, you can go back."

Di Renjie bowed and said, "Yes. That humble minister will retire."

Chunxiang outside the hall heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly hid in the side hall.

As soon as the door sounded, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang walked out of the bedroom quickly.

……

"Boom!"

In the middle of the night, a long bolt of lightning flashed across the night sky, as if it wanted to tear this treacherous world into pieces.

The dormitory was pitch black.

Wearing a brass hood, Wu Zetian lay quietly on the bed, already asleep.

Outside the house, the iron rod guided the electric current and made loud noises and sparks.

With a soft "squeak", the door opened a gap, a pair of feet slowly walked into the bedroom, and slowly walked towards Wu Zetian's bed, a copper wire wrapped in animal skin dragged behind the shadow .

At the head of Wu Zetian's bed, one hand lifted the curtain.

Wu Zetian fell into a deep sleep.

That hand gently connected the copper wire head to Wu Zetian's brass hood.

"Boom!"

Thunder and lightning shook the earth and shook the sky.

The iron rod guides the current and rushes into the hall along the copper wire on the ground.

There was a loud creaking noise from the curtain, and the bed was shaking non-stop.

Immediately afterwards, a puff of light smoke seeped out from the curtain.

With a sound of "flutter", the wind lamp in the hall was lit, and the curtain was gently lifted with both hands.

On Wu Zetian's bed, Chunxiang was lying on the bed with a brass hood on her head, her face ashen.

She is long dead.

The owner of the hands that lifted the curtain was Wu Zetian. At this time, her face was covered with frost, her body was trembling constantly, and her anger could no longer be described in words.

Beside her, Wang Mang, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang watched her quietly.

Wu Zetian gritted her teeth and said, "These traitors!"

Di Renjie let out a long sigh: "This case has been against His Majesty from the very beginning!"

Wu Zetian suddenly raised his head: "Oh?"

Di Renjie asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to know the truth?"

Wu Zetian took a deep breath, sat on the chair beside her, and nodded.

Di Renjie said: "Then I will tell the truth."

Wu Zetian nodded: "Speak up, no matter what you say tonight, there is no crime of disobedience, just say what you have to say."

Di Renjie nodded: "Then let me start from the beginning. Two years ago, His Majesty secretly ordered Wang Zhiyuan, the national teacher, and He Yun, the flying dragon envoy, to lead the inner guards and form a secret organization in the Jianghu. In order to contact the various anti-military forces hidden in the rivers and lakes, attract them, and then wipe them all out. What I said, is right?!"

Wu Zetian looked a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and nodded.

Di Renjie said: "However, Wang Zhiyuan did not carry out His Majesty's secret orders. They contacted various anti-military forces, and instead of killing them all, they took them for their own use..."

"Receive it for your own use?"

Wu Zetian was stunned.

Di Renjie nodded: "Exactly, for their ulterior purpose."

Wu Zetian asked, "What purpose?"

Di Renjie raised his head slowly: "Murder Your Majesty, provoke a fight between the Crown Prince and the King of Liang, and profit from it!"

Wu Zetian's complexion changed, and he asked, "Who? Who are you talking about?"

Di Renjie smiled: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient, listen to me slowly.

Over the past two years, Wang Zhiyuan and He Yun have taken in various anti-military forces, making their own strength grow rapidly.

However, they still have many internal guards who are loyal to His Majesty.

These inner guards learned the inside story and wanted to report it to His Majesty, but Wang Zhiyuan and He Yun didn't expect to know about it.

Therefore, in order not to reveal their identities and that of the internal guards, and to get rid of dissidents, the two came up with this plan of "Blood Eagle" under the guise of a ghost, and launched a nationwide campaign against all the internal guards who knew about it. Great cleaning.

Three bloody cases happened in succession in Hedong, Longyou, and Jiannan, and finally arrived at the capital of God at the foot of the emperor!

Sun Dianchen, the leader of the Neiweifu Pavilion, went to Beijing to make a secret report and was killed on the official road leading to the capital of God in Yongchang County. This case has been written in detail in the memorial just now. "

Wu Zetian nodded.

Di Renjie said: "Then, what is going on at the same time as 'Blood Eagle' is the haunting case in the palace.

In fact, the nightmares His Majesty mentioned earlier were not dreams, but Chunxiang, Wang Zhiyuan's confidant and others. They used drugs to stun His Majesty and sent you to Baocheng Hall. When it came to the scene of the Queen, after His Majesty was fainted from fright, they sent you back again. "

After Wu Zetian heard this, she was very surprised, and opened her mouth wide: "Is that so?!"

Di Renjie nodded: "Yes. Then there were those nightmares..."

Hearing this, Wu Zetian took a deep breath and nodded again and again: "I said why every nightmare is like being awake, vivid in my memory? But after Di Chun came, although he also had nightmares, it was not like before. It's real!"

Wang Mang nodded: "They did this only to convince His Majesty of the haunting, so that he could not extricate himself from it, and paved the way for using this so-called magic weapon to murder His Majesty later."

Wu Zetian asked: "How do you know the magic weapon of the national teacher?"

Di Renjie said: "This is just my guess. I didn't know that the national teacher would use this so-called magic weapon to harm His Majesty. It's just that I learned from He Yun that his superior is the national teacher. I heard that the national teacher was also called into the palace by His Majesty, and the matter is very important, so I have the courage to come to see Your Majesty late at night!"

Wang Mang bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have told Duke Di about the affairs of the palace without your permission, please punish me!"

Wu Zetian smiled and shook his head: "I said it before, no matter what I say tonight, I will forgive you all."

Wang Mang replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wu Zetian asked: "Jing Yang, how do you know that this magic weapon can be used like this?"

Wang Mang smiled: "I have a lot of research on these strange skills, so I will know its usefulness as soon as I see this so-called magic weapon. In addition, the national teacher is He Yun's superior, so I don't need to use it." It's hard to figure out their purpose."
