The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 56
If the Bloody Eagle case was indeed written by Princess Taiping, then another key question arises: Princess Taiping used the old affairs of the Jiang family to plan these things, for what purpose?
Could it be that.
A flash of lightning flashed in Di Renjie's mind, and he thought of the towering bronze demon-conquering pillar standing in front of the emperor's bedroom.

He immediately exclaimed: "Not good!"

Seeing this, Shen Youzhi intentionally showed doubts, and asked puzzledly: "Mr. Ge, what are you talking about? What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, the situation is urgent. The old minister cannot explain in detail. He must go to the palace immediately to meet His Majesty." Di Renjie said very seriously.

"Teacher, it's raining heavily outside! Besides, the gods have curfew and the city gates are closed. Even if you rush back, you won't be able to open the city gates!" Zeng Tai persuaded immediately.

These words were like a basin of cold water poured on Di Renjie's head, making him cold from head to toe, so cold that it pierced his heart!

Is it all over? !

Di Renjie felt sad in his heart: Is it really powerless?
Of course Shen Youzhi knew what Di Renjie was worried about, but he just wanted to say: Mr. Di, you worry too much!

With my own participation, the Bloody Eagle case was solved quickly, many times faster than in the original book, and Princess Taiping's scheme had no time to start.

However, Di Renjie cared about the emperor's safety, and it was inevitable that chaos would result from caring.

"Zeng Tai, Yuan Fang, let's set off immediately, before we can stand up to the officialdom!" Di Renjie suddenly said again.

Just now Zeng Tai's words reminded him that even he, the cabinet minister, could not open the city gate, but the dead man on the official road could open it, and the identity of the other party had already been revealed without a doubt—Plum Blossom Internal Guard!
Only the plum blossom inner guards exclusive to the emperor can open the gates of the capital city after the curfew!
After figuring this out, Princess Taiping's purpose in planning the bloody eagle case came to light—cleaning the inner guards of plum blossoms!
Under the pretext of "revenge of ghosts", they slaughtered the inner guards in various places in order to weaken the emperor's influence in various states in the world.

In order not to expose the deceased's identity as an internal guard, they of course had to cut off the corpse's head and left arm.

"Your Highness, please take a short rest at the county government office. There is one thing that the old minister must do!"

After Di Renjie finished speaking, he took Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai straight to the official road without looking back.

Seeing the backs of the three leaving, Shen Youzhi smiled inexplicably: Forget it, let them get busy.

Di Renjie's thoughts can be roughly guessed by Shen Youzhi, it is nothing more than wanting to use the deceased's inner guard badge on the official road to call open the city gate, and then enter the palace to "rescue him" risking his death.

But as a bystander who is familiar with the plot, Shen Youzhi knows that Di Renjie's worries are unfounded.

However, the current situation is no longer suitable for him to intervene.

He can't stop Di Renjie from "rescuing him", can he?

As a descendant of the Li surname, if he stops others from saving the emperor, no matter what he thinks in his heart, others will have to imagine——

Could it be that King An was looking forward to the death of the emperor, and then took the opportunity to
Therefore, even if he knew that Di Renjie was worrying unfoundedly, he couldn't say anything.

Shendu, official way

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, accompanied by bursts of thunder and lightning.

A carriage was speeding down the street.

Inside the car, Di Renjie was restless, and urged the driver: "Hurry up! Hurry up!"

Hearing this, the groom could only reply helplessly: "My lord, it won't be soon! It's raining heavily and the road is muddy, so accidents will happen sooner!"

Although Di Renjie was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he could only sigh helplessly in the face of the harsh weather of nature.

In the opposite box seat, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai looked at him anxiously.

"My lord, why are you braving the heavy rain in the middle of the night to be an official again?" Li Yuanfang asked after a long time, and finally asked the doubts in his heart.

Zeng Tai on the other side also cast a puzzled look.

"To find something." Di Renjie replied.

"Looking for something?" Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai looked at each other and shook their heads in confusion.

"Zeng Tai, do you still remember what you said when you were at the county government office and advised me to give up and go back to Shendu?" Di Renjie reminded.

Upon hearing the words, Zeng Tai immediately recalled: "The students said at the time that the city has a curfew, even if you go back, you will not be able to open the city gate."

"That's right!" Di Renjie nodded, and explained: "Even I, the minister of the cabinet, can't open the city gate, but the dead man on the official road can open it. His identity has been clearly revealed."

Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai also understood at this time, and exclaimed in unison: "Inner Guard!"

Only the inner guard of the plum blossom, which belongs exclusively to the emperor, can ignore the curfew and enter the capital of God!

"Not bad!" Di Renjie nodded.

"So that's how it is!" Zeng Tai immediately understood Di Renjie's intentions, and suddenly said: "Men, you want to use the deceased's inner guard badge to open the gate of the city of God!

But why do you have to enter the capital of God? "

Facing this question, Di Renjie shook his head and remained silent.

This matter involves royal secrets and has a lot to do with it, so Zeng Tai and Li Yuanfang cannot be involved.

Just then, the carriage stopped.

"My lord, here we are!" shouted the coachman.

Without delay, Di Renjie raised the curtain of the car and rushed out.

Seeing this, Li Yuanfang hurriedly followed out with an oil-paper umbrella, and caught up with Di Renjie in two or three steps, holding an umbrella for him to protect him from the rain.

With such a heavy rain, if you don't pay attention, you will catch a cold.

In later generations, wind-cold and cold are nothing more than minor illnesses, but in this era of underdeveloped medicine, wind-cold can kill people!
What's more, Di Renjie is more than seventy years old, and his health is not good. If he doesn't get sick, it will be bad!

However, Di Renjie obviously had no time to take care of himself in this matter, and only went to the place where the crime happened.

Not long after, the three came to the official road where the headless body was found.

Next to the official road is a vast wheat field. The scarecrow protecting the field is still standing in the rain, and the pumpkin head has been faded by the rain.

Di Renjie wiped the rainwater off his face with his hand, walked slowly to the scarecrow, then put his hand into the scarecrow's mouth, and kept touching it.

After a while, Di Renjie slowly pulled out his hand, holding a white rectangular sign in his hand.

He held the sign in front of his eyes, and identified it with the light of lightning.

This is a waist card carved from ivory, with two striking characters written in official script on it: "Neiwei".

On the back of the sign, there are a few small characters written in regular script: "Sun Dianchen, leader of the Neiweifu Pavilion".

"It's really an inner guard!" Zeng Tai suddenly said in surprise: "It's still the cabinet leader of the inner guard mansion!"

He is also a member of the inner guard, so he naturally understands how much power the inner guard has.

That is a person who can reach heaven!
"Let's go! Return to God's City!" After Di Renjie got the card, he didn't dare to delay, and went back to God's City directly.

Di Renjie was busy "rescuing him", and Shen Youzhi was not idle either.

He brought He Yun out of the prison and put him in charge of it himself.

Princess Taiping's plan was exposed. In order not to implicate herself, she would kill He Yun to silence her.

In the original book, including Wang Zhiyuan and He Yun, all witnesses were silenced in advance, leaving no witnesses.

Therefore, although Wu Zetian knew it well, he did not take measures against Princess Taiping on the bright side.

But since Shen Youzhi had already got involved, how could Princess Taiping pick herself out so easily?
He took the initiative to protect He Yun in order to confirm Princess Taiping's plot to rebel.

At that time, even if Wu Zetian couldn't bear it, she had to severely punish Princess Taiping for the stability of the country.

After all, treason is one of the "ten evils" among the heinous.

If such crimes are not severely punished, the majesty of the national law will disappear.

And once there are special cases of order and law, it will no longer have deterrent effect.

In other words, if Wu Zetian did not severely punish the rebellious Princess Taiping, the order she established would become a joke.

With her mentality and personality, she must be able to figure out which is more important.
