Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 16 The Conspiracy Emerges
Chang'an Tai Chi Hall.

Wu Zetian was sitting on the dragon chair, Wu Zetian suddenly raised his head and said, "What, you have to leave tomorrow?"

An old man in his fifties with gloomy eyes and a gloomy complexion at the bottom nodded, and said, "Exactly. Shibi said that Jili Khan is eagerly waiting for the return, so he dare not procrastinate."

Wu Zetian stood up slowly and said, "Even so, there is no need to be in such a hurry."

Immediately afterwards, she got off the dragon chair and paced slowly.

Suddenly, Wu Zetian stopped in his tracks and said, "Could they have some kind of conspiracy?"

The old man was taken aback, thought for a while, and said, "This, I don't think so. Otherwise, why would they come here to repair it, and even offered the tribe's sacred objects."

Wu Zetian nodded upon hearing this, and said, "Well, I don't think so."

The old man went on to say: "Your Majesty, could it be that there is another internal strife within the Turks, and Shibi urgently needs to turn around? And Shibi will never say anything about this kind of thing."

Wu Zetian turned around and said, "Well, it makes sense. Turkic civil strife is frequent and cannibalism is very likely. In this case, we don't have to force them to stay. Inform the Ministry of Rites and send them off tomorrow morning, so there is no need to come again Farewell. Order Yiyang Princess to move."

The old man replied: "Yes!"

……

Yiyang County Lord's Mansion.

A beautiful and indifferent face faced the makeup mirror alone, without the slightest expression.

She was looking at herself in the bronze mirror, slowly stroking a jade bracelet on her wrist.

Suddenly, a maid came in and said, "Princess, by imperial order, you are ordered to move immediately!"

The master of Yiyang County heard the words and said, "Understood."

In the middle of the night, Chang'an Avenue was empty.

The autumn wind is blowing, and with the rustling of fallen leaves, there is a sound of footsteps on the street.

A group of Habayashi guards surrounded a large blue sedan chair, and Princess Yiyang, the daughter of Prince Changle, sat quietly in the sedan chair.

Suddenly, a poisonous snake got into the sedan chair at some point, and Princess Yiyang's face changed, and she hid in the corner of the sedan chair in fright.

"Ah! Snake."

There was a scream from Princess Yiyang in the sedan chair, and the Captain of the Habayashi Guard who was riding in front heard the words and shouted loudly: "Stay in the sedan chair!"

The sedan chair stopped.The captain waved his hand, and the guards surrounded the sedan chair. The captain walked quickly to the sedan chair and asked, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

There was no sound in the sedan chair.Just as the captain was about to speak, suddenly there was a "whoosh", and a mace pierced his chest. The captain opened his eyes wide and slowly fell to the ground.

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

Habayashi Wei panicked and uttered screams.

It was too late, but it was so fast, I saw more than a dozen black shadows galloping towards the roofs on both sides of the street, and they were in front of us in a blink of an eye.

Then a dozen black shadows rose and fell several times, and before dozens of Habayashi guards could react, their heads flew out.

When more than a dozen well-trained black-clothed masked killers quietly gathered around the sedan chair, Habayashi Weizhu who was riding on the horse fell off the horse.

After a while, a surviving Habayashi guard slowly got up, and before he could run far, he saw a man in a green robe and mask leaping towards the street.

The surviving Habayashi guard had just walked past the green-robed masked man when he heard a "chuckle", the sword in the green-robed masked man's hand was pulled out of the scabbard, a cold light flashed, and the surviving Habayashi guard went I was motionless.

The man in the green robe mask slowly took out a white lake silk handkerchief embroidered with small snakes from his sleeve, and gently began to wipe the sword.

After the masked man in green robe finished wiping the sword, the sword returned to its sheath with a sound of "rubbing", and the white lake silk handkerchief embroidered with small snakes was casually thrown on the ground by the masked man in green robe.

At this time, the surviving Habayashi Wei spurted blood from his body, and immediately after a "plop", the body fell heavily on the ground.

……

In the middle of the night, Wu Zetian had just left the Tai Chi Hall and was about to go to rest, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps from the corridor outside the hall.

Immediately afterwards, a burly general with thick eyebrows and a square face, wearing a red armor and a black cloak walked up to Wu Zetian, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something has happened."

Seeing this, Wu Zetian comforted, "Jing Hui, don't worry, speak slowly."

It turned out that this person was Wang Mang's elder brother, Hu Jinghui.

Hu Jinghui said anxiously: "The kiln is on fire tonight..."

Wu Zetian's expression changed when he heard the words, and he shouted, "What? The kiln is on fire... what about Liu Jin?"

Hu Jinghui replied: "The people are all burnt to charcoal, and the corpses cannot be identified."

Wu Zetian gasped, bowed his head in thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Do you think this is an accident?"

Hu Jinghui pondered for a moment, then said: "I dare not speak in vain."

Wu Zetian suddenly remembered something, and said: "Ming build plank roads, secretly pass through Chencang! This is a trick of the rebellious party, Liu Jin must be in their hands! If the rebel party gets that list, the world will be in chaos! Pass the decree and block it!" Four gates, no one is allowed to leave the city, and the guards in the capital are ordered to search every house, even if they dig three feet, they must find them for me!"

Hu Jinghui was ordered to retreat.

……

A few days later, Guannei Road, Guan Road.

A postman was galloping towards Chang'an on horseback.

Soon, I saw this postman enter the city, shouting: "Hurry up for six hundred miles!"

Menxia Province, Yingtai.

Following the sound of hurried footsteps, a thin official dressed in a red official robe hurried over. After entering the hall, the thin official shouted, "What's going on?"

A fat-looking official who had already been waiting in the hall held an official document in both hands and said, "Mr. Ge, Gannan Road has just sent it, and the document is urgent for six hundred miles."

It turned out that this emaciated official who came in a hurry was the current prime minister Zhang Jianzhi.

Zhang Jianzhi took the document and looked at it. Suddenly, his face changed drastically: "I must go to the palace immediately to face the saint."

……

In the Hall of Taiji, Wu Zetian's face changed drastically, and he said, "What? All the Turkic missions were killed ten days ago... Then, who did we send away just now?"

Zhang Jianzhi said: "Your Majesty, it seems that this fake mission is likely to be the murderer who killed the real mission."

Wu Zetian stood up abruptly and said, "What?!"

Zhang Jianzhi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Wu Zetian took a deep breath when he heard the words, sat down again, and said, "Talk."

Zhang Jianzhi said: "It is said in the official document that the 46 members of the Turkic mission and the 120-member escort under the command of our Gannan Road Army Chief were all killed in the Gobi. From my point of view, ordinary bandits and horse thieves , absolutely no such ability.”

Wu Zetian asked, "What does this mean?"

Zhang Jianzhi replied: "There is support from within, and strong support from outside."

A cold light flashed in Wu Zetian's eyes, and he said, "A traitor?"

Zhang Jianzhi nodded when he heard the words, and said: "It is said in the official document that there are 160 people in the mission, but only 160 bodies were found, and Li Yuanfang, the guard, is missing."

Wu Zetian slapped the table fiercely, and said, "This traitor! Immediately issue an order to arrest this thief! Order the left and right guards to go out of the city overnight, and make sure that all the false envoys are captured alive, so that no one slips through the net!"

Zhang Jianzhi replied: "I obey the order."

As soon as the words fell, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall. It turned out that Hu Jinghui walked in quickly: "Your Majesty, I just received the news that the princess Yiyang and his guards were all assassinated and killed, and the bodies were hidden. In a private house, now the corpse is outside the palace gate!"

"what!"

Wu Zetian screamed and stood up, and Zhang Jianzhi also gasped when he heard the words.

Hu Jinghui said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I have asked Prince Changle to come and identify it, but the corpse has been disfigured by the gangsters and it is difficult to distinguish, but there is something on the corpse that can prove the identity of Princess Yiyang."

Wu Zetian asked, "What is it?"

Hu Jinghui presented a jade bracelet in front of Wu Zetian with both hands. Wu Zetian took it over and looked at it, then nodded slightly: "Yes, it was given to Princess Yiyang by Yuanxi this year. What's going on... What is it? what happened?"

Wu Zetian stood blankly in the hall, and the successive bad news made her mind in chaos.

Seeing this, Zhang Jian said: "Your Majesty, the Turkic mission has been killed, and the princess has been assassinated. Once these things are learned by Ji Li Khan, the flames of war will reignite. This matter is imminent!"

Wu Zetian came back to his senses and said, "Then, what is Yiqing's intention?"

Zhang Jianzhi replied: "Prepare the border affairs to prevent the Turks from invading. Then choose capable ministers to solve the case quickly."

Wu Zetian asked: "Who can take on this important task?"

Zhang Jianzhi replied: "There is only one person in this dynasty."

Wu Zetian said slowly: "Issue an imperial edict to summon Di Renjie to Beijing!"
