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

Chapter 487 Joy? Sadness

Suddenly, Li Xiaoyi, who was sitting opposite, saw a hint of ecstasy in Yu Zhou's eyes. He asked calmly:

"What did Li Cunxi ask you to do?"

The ecstasy in Yu Zhou's eyes suddenly disappeared. He looked up at Li Xiaoyi opposite him in confusion.

As the two looked at each other, Li Xiaoyi suddenly opened his mouth and burst into a hearty laugh.

Suddenly, he put one hand on the table, jumped in front of Yu Zhou, and his outstretched arm had already touched the inkstone and raised it high.

"You are really brave. Now that the relationship between the two sides has become so cold, you still dare to come to the Liang Palace?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Yu Zhou smiled and said:

"I bet you won't beat me to death, because you still need people like us to clear your name."

"If I die in Prince Liang's mansion, Duke Wu, you will surely bear the eternal infamy of killing Prince Zhang Huai."

"Even if the world knew that Xu Jingye wanted to establish himself as king and establish a country after he coerced Crown Prince Zhang Huai, the world would still say that you killed Crown Prince Zhang Huai and that murdering your own family is unforgivable!"

Li Xiaoyi released Yu Zhou's left hand and put down the inkstone.

They are all smart people, and he knows that what Yu Zhou said is true.

If he really killed Yuzhou, Li Cunxi would definitely mark Prince Zhanghuai as dead even if he knew that Prince Zhanghuai was still alive.

After all, he is a relative of Prince Zhanghuai. He helped outsiders kill his own relatives. Isn't this a complete traitor?

"What should I do?"

"Form an alliance with me, and I will come back to redress your grievances. As long as you are a loyal minister and bring back Prince Zhanghuai, the historians will make their own judgment."

"Very good, but I have to confirm one thing now, that is, are you really Li Cunxi's man?"

"Whether I am or not is not important. The most important thing is that you should believe me and not doubt me. This is the most important thing."

"Well, I have nothing to lose anyway."

"You still have your family and your life, so cherish every moment you have, Duke Wu."

"You're right. I haven't seen them for many years...Aren't you curious about why I, who was supposed to die on the road to exile, am here?"

"If you don't tell me, I won't be curious." Yu Zhou said frankly, "But even though I'm not curious, my master will definitely be very curious."

"Li Cunxi?" Li Xiaoyi raised his lips slightly. "If I can live to see him become emperor in this chaotic era, I will definitely tell him. That is definitely a dark history that I don't want to mention."

"Everyone has a dark history." Yu Zhou laughed, "Let's have a drink tonight, the two of us."

"Let's take that living turtle, King Liang, with us, or else he'll put a sword to our necks again."

……

In the Linde Hall of Shangyang Palace.

Wu Zetian sat upright on the dragon bed, with no ministers around her.

She was waiting for news, news that was very important to her now.

Soon, a figure slowly walked in from outside the Linde Palace. The person was none other than Fenghuang, the leader of the Inner Guard Bureau.

She knelt in the light, on one knee.

"Your Majesty, Lord Li, the governor of Henan Prefecture, followed Lord Di to the Di Mansion after the court was dismissed, and the celebration began soon after."

"Lord Wu, Shao Yin of Henan Prefecture, followed the King of Wei to the King of Wei's palace. Although I did not go in, based on the King of Wei's personality, he was probably singing and dancing."

Wu Zetian placed her hands on her knees, her eyes deep.

"Start celebrating right away? This is really beyond my expectation."

"I thought they would start forming cliques..."

"Oh, I forgot, Li Cunxi is already the largest faction in the court."

"Have all the old ministers of the Li family decided to fight to the death for Li Cunxi?"

Wu Zetian nodded slightly.

This situation was caused by her, starting with the Li family's crazy rebellion and then the Wu family's involvement.

Those members of the Li family hiding behind the scenes would not hesitate to let the descendants of the Li clan die in order to pave a new path for future generations to climb up.

Nowadays, the Crown Prince and the Prince of Xiang do not interfere in state affairs, and the Crown Prince even acts like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

Li Cunxi is the last hope of the Li family's descendants, and the hope of all those who are loyal to the Li family in the world.

"It seems that I have raised a very good insect while raising Gu."

Wu Zetian closed her eyes and spoke in a low voice.

She used the Gu-raising method to raise a most powerful Gu worm.

After this poisonous insect truly took the throne, it controlled more than half of the power in the court.

The other poisonous insects that he had high hopes for were already trembling in fear, waiting for the impending death judgment.

"Fenghuang, please go down and tell Huang Shengyan that if Li Cunxi hasn't come looking for him this afternoon, he will go to the Di residence in person and call Li Cunxi to solve the case."

"Here."

The silhouette of the Phoenix gradually faded away and could no longer be seen.

No one knew what Wu Zetian was thinking about while lying on the dragon bed. There was a look of struggle in her eyes.

"Let's go to the White Horse Temple."

……

Dark clouds are coming over the city.

The emperor's sedan chair appeared outside the White Horse Temple. The abbot guessed that Wu Zetian was coming to find Huaiyi to do some shameful things, so he took the initiative to step forward.

"Your Majesty, I, the abbot of the White Horse Temple, greet your Majesty."

"Ah."

Supported by the eunuchs, Wu Zetian slowly stepped down from the imperial carriage and glanced at the abbot who was kneeling on the ground.

"I want to go to the underground palace." Wu Zetian said calmly.

The abbot was shocked. This was the first time in nine years that Wu Zetian was going to the underground palace.

That damn place was where the wanted criminal Yuan Tiangang was imprisoned.

"Just do what you need to do, I will go to the underground palace myself."

Wu Zetian waved her hand to dismiss the abbot and walked into the White Horse Temple with a few guards.

You Huan, who had been accompanying the king all the time, followed behind Wu Zetian with several inner guards, not daring to make a sound.

Not long after, outside the cage in the basement of the White Horse Temple, Wu Zetian happily accepted the salute from the four inner guards, and then looked at Yuan Tiangang in the cage.

Yuan Tiangang had stopped what he was doing long ago. He put down his paper and pen, stood up, and dusted off the non-existent dust on his body.

"I am Yuan Tiangang, and I am honored to meet your Majesty. Is your Majesty in good health?"

Wu Zetian said expressionlessly: "I am fine, Yuan Tiangang, please don't worry about me."

Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard and said, "I have been here for many years, Your Majesty. This is the first time you come to see me. It really makes me feel honored."

"Isn't it nice to have them watching you?"

"It's not good. I don't like being watched all the time, Your Majesty. No matter what time it is, there is always someone watching me."

"What's wrong with this? This is what I ordered them to do."

"But I don't like it. Even when I go to the toilet, these people are watching me, just like watching animals mate, and they would sigh."

"I don't know about the exclamations. In this dark dungeon, teacher, you are a unique prisoner. It is natural for them to stare at you."

"Your Majesty, you are so heartless."

"Thank you for the compliment...Teacher."
