Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Chapter 776 Can’t Sit Still

"Cunxi..."

Wu Zetian looked at Li Cunxi deeply.

Facing the whetstone she had used for so many years, Wu Zetian still felt a little reluctant.

She also realized that Li Cunxi had no other intentions. He simply couldn't find the mastermind behind the scenes, so he used the excuse of detaining Wu Sansi to lure out the real mastermind.

Of course, there was another reason why Li Cunxi wanted Wu Sansi imprisoned, and that was revenge. The fact that Wu Sansi was able to come out safely after entering the Inner Guard Palace this time was because Huang Shengyan's whip was not loud enough.

"As long as the reasons you give are sufficient, I will think twice before imprisoning you."

At this moment, facing the safety of the Great Zhou and the whetstone Wu Sansi, Wu Zetian also made the final choice.

Li Cunxi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I suspect that King Wu Sansi of Liang may be colluding with the five Turkic Dulu tribes and the Khitan militants to threaten the border."

"Therefore, for the safety of the Great Zhou, I request that Wu Sansi be imprisoned and severely tortured to extract any clues."

Wu Sansi's eyes turned red, and his voice broke: "You fart!"

Wu Youji hurried out and bowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Prince Liang is fine! You can't imprison such a high-ranking official based solely on the words of the Prince of Qin!"

Wu Sansi fell to the ground and burst into tears, his voice filled with desolation: "I have never done this, Your Majesty. Qin Wang Li Cunxi is framing me, framing me!"

Wu Zetian closed her eyes, remained silent for a while, and subconsciously looked at Wu Chengsi.

Prince Wu Chengsi of Wei was the second-in-command of the Wu family in the court, and he usually took good care of his fellow clan members.

If Wu Chengsi felt that there was nothing wrong with Wu Sansi, he would definitely not bother to kick him when he was down at this time.

If even Wu Chengsi felt this way, he would definitely not plead for Wu Sansi.

Noticing the emperor's gaze, Wu Chengsi did not say anything, but just looked at Wu Zetian on the dragon bed with anticipation.

This look was much more effective than what Li Cunxi said. Wu Zetian suddenly felt that there might be something wrong with Wu Sansi.

So he looked at Di Renjie again, only to see Di Renjie nodded imperceptibly and then pretended nothing had happened.

At this moment, Wu Zetian understood very well that this was a decision made by Li Cunxi, Di Renjie and Wu Chengsi together, which was to use Wu Sansi as a breakthrough in the case.

If the mastermind behind the incident is Wu Sansi, then everyone will be happy. If it is not Wu Sansi, there will also be a chance to reveal the real mastermind.

"Someone, imprison Wu Sansi!"

Wu Zetian made a decision and spoke to the people below.

Outside the door, You Huan from the Inner Guard House came in with several Inner Guards and escorted Wu Sansi out.

Wu Sansi struggled several times, but in the end he could only burst into tears and was taken to the prison of the Inner Guard Palace.

Watching Wu Sansi being imprisoned, the Wu family princes, who usually seldom spoke, remained silent, with only Wu Youji looking sad.

"This is really too much, it's really too much!"

Sitting on the dragon bed, Wu Zetian looked around at the officials and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"If there is nothing else, then let's adjourn the court."

……

A quarter of an hour later, in the Imperial Garden, three figures bowed to Wu Zetian at the same time.

Facing Li Cunxi, Di Renjie and Wu Sansi, Wu Zetian's expression remained grim. She asked:

"You three better give me a reasonable answer, otherwise I will be angry."

Di Renjie chuckled and stepped forward to take the blame.

"Your Majesty, don't you think that Prince Wu Sansi of Liang is very suspicious?"

"There aren't many Wu family princes who have the ability, power, and qualifications to contact the five Turkic Duolu tribes. Looking around the court, there won't be many, right?"

"Ranking from the highest to the lowest, King Liang should be number one. It is only natural that we, the ministers, are suspicious of him."

"What's more, this case endangers the entire Great Zhou. One mistake could lead to a war between the Three Kingdoms and internal chaos. We, the ministers, would rather wrong King Liang than allow the Great Zhou to be dragged into the quagmire of war."

Wu Zetian was silent for a while, and finally agreed.

If Wu Sansi suffers a little, everyone will benefit.

why not?

"That's fine, but you must investigate this case as soon as possible and find out the real mastermind behind this."

"I obey your orders."

……

After Wu Sansi was imprisoned in the Inner Guard Palace, a group of people could no longer sit still.

Wu Youji found Wu Youning, and accompanied by Wu Youning, he met Wu Yizong's younger brother Wu Sizong.

The three of them sat together, frowning.

"Sansi has been captured. If he can't hold on, something will definitely happen soon. We must rescue him."

"Si Zong, it's difficult to save him. Sansi has been imprisoned in the Inner Guard House. You know what that place is better than I do. You want to rescue him from the Inner Guard House, where there are so many experts, unless Your Majesty agrees."

"Youning, do you think Li Cunxi really knew that it was Sansi who sent people north to contact the five Dulu tribes?"

"It might just be speculation, but it's not ruled out that he really knows. Li Cunxi is a man of extraordinary ability. We can't judge him by common sense."

"If Li Cunxi really knows that Sansi is the leader, then we can no longer sit idly by. In my opinion, war will soon break out in the north. Why don't we..."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's follow the plan we made before, and try our best to have a bright future! Youji, what do you think?"

The three of them discussed secretly for a while before Wu Youji finally nodded.

Even though he was already a third-rank official, he still wanted to climb higher.

No one dislikes the importance of an official position.

The three of them conspired seriously until it was late, then they separated and returned to their respective mansions.

At this moment, Wu Chengsi was still figuring out who was suspected of treason.

In the Inner Guard Palace, Wu Sansi sat on a pile of thatch with an expressionless face, not at all afraid of Huang Shengyan who was holding a whip outside.

"I am the King of Liang. If you dare to touch me, I will make sure you die without a burial place after you leave."

"You are just a small-time leader of the inner guards. I believe you don't have the courage to face me. Get out of here immediately and don't disturb the master's sweet dreams."

Huang Shengyan really wanted to whip Wu Sansi, but his status was not as high as that of a prince like Wu Sansi. After thinking for a while, he finally put down the whip.

"Keep a close eye on him. No one is allowed to see him. I'm going to the palace."

After Huang Shengyan gave his orders to his men, he left the Inner Guard prison and went out of the Inner Guard under the cover of night, heading all the way to Taichu Palace.

In the darkness, dozens of figures have set their sights on Huang Shengyan and the seven or eight internal guards under his command, moving silently in the shadows, tracking Huang Shengyan.

These dark shadows did not notice that behind them, there was also a group of people tracking them from a distance.

The three groups of people headed towards the gate of Taichu Palace and soon arrived at their destination. Huang Shengyan took out his inner guard badge and followed Lu Tong into the palace.

On the other side, Li Cunxi wrote the names of the princes of the Wu family on a piece of paper, and finally analyzed one by one who might be the mastermind behind the scenes.

He crossed out the names one by one, and only a few were left.

"Wu Sansi, Wu Youji, Wu Youning, Wu Yizong, Wu Sizong."

"That's right. After Wu Sizong returned to the throne, something went wrong with Wu Yizong."
