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

Chapter 575: Trouble for the Emperor

In Wu Zetian's eyes, the Iron Hand Group no longer had any need to exist.

No matter who is involved this time, as long as they are in collusion with the Iron Hand Group, even if it is the Governor of Yangzhou, they will be killed.

Thinking of this, Wu Zetian looked again at the cowardly Prince of Liang, Wu Sansi.

This beast probably doesn't have the guts to collude with the Iron Hand Group again, right?

Wu Zetian thought silently.

"Let's put those dirty things behind us. Don't mention them again."

"You should just focus on handling government affairs and don't let these little things mess up your mind."

Wu Sansi felt relieved, stood up and bowed to Wu Zetian.

"I will obey your orders and will never disappoint your majesty."

"Well, let's go."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wu Sansi left the side hall, thinking he had passed the test, and walked away with a swagger.

A figure flashed out from the shadow of the side hall. She knelt on one knee with her head lowered.

"Your Majesty, news has come from Yangzhou."

"read."

"Yes."

The girl recited in the shadows and quickly finished the few words.

"In other words, the reason why the official salt in the Huaiyang area was circulated again was because someone was secretly manipulating it."

"And the people who manipulated it are precisely Yangzhou Governor Cui Liang, Chief Clerk Wu Wendeng, and Canal Transport Commissioner Yang Jiucheng?"

"What a bunch of daring beasts! I am too kind to them!"

Wu Zetian was furious.

She had just been thinking about it, but she didn't expect these people to actually dare to do it.

Then there is no need to let them live. Just chop them into meat paste and throw them into the mountains to feed the wolves.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. The evidence is irrefutable that Qin Duke Li Cunxi, Henan Prefecture Shao Yin Wu Yanhao, Counselor Lu Dayou, Qianniu Guard General Hu Jinghui, and Inspector Qianniu Guard General Li Yuanfang and others accepted bribes."

"Whose bribe?"

"Your Majesty, I received a bribe from Cui Liang, the governor of Yangzhou."

"How much is it worth?" Wu Zetian picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

"The most expensive one is no more than ten thousand gold coins," said the girl.

"A mere ten thousand gold coins, is that a bribe? The bribes given by all officials to Li Cunxi's steward Ma Rong added up to almost several million gold coins. A mere ten thousand gold coins, how could the governor of Yangzhou, Cui Liang, give it away?"

Wu Zetian sneered.

As for the joke about Li Cunxi accepting bribes, just listen to it.

Whoever takes this joke seriously is the joke.

When all the officials in the court were vying to bribe Li Cunxi, Li Cunxi didn't even look at them and let several "Ma Rongs" take them all.

If Li Cunxi was really a greedy person, he could just take it over and hold it in his own hands, why bother with all this.

It was impossible for her to kill Li Cunxi, who was like a link to her relationship, just because he accepted a bribe.

"Phoenix, you just need to remember that to bribe Li Cunxi, you have to use at least ten carriages of gold to be considered a bribe."

"Ten thousand gold is nothing in his eyes."

"If Cui Liang really thought that he had successfully bribed Li Cunxi, then Cui Liang's death is not far away."

Wu Zetian laughed and leaned back.

At this moment, a Qianniu guard suddenly came from outside with documents in his hand.

"Your Majesty, urgent news from Yangzhou!"

"Send it in."

"Yes!"

The Qianniu Guard came in, bowed and handed over the document.

Shangguan Wan'er walked down, took the documents, returned to Wu Zetian, and continued to act as a mute.

Wu Zetian opened the document, took a look at it, and waved her hand to signal the Qianniu Guard to leave.

After the Qianniu Guards left, Wu Zetian turned to the phoenix that had reappeared from the shadows.

"Phoenix, look, I told you so."

"Who can Yangzhou Governor Cui Liang hide this little trick from?"

"After bribing Li Cunxi, he sent someone to deliver a document to me, saying that Li Cunxi had evil intentions and that when he arrived in Yangzhou, he not only did not investigate the case properly, but instead asked for a bribe."

"Just tell me, is this funny?"

Phoenix tilted her head, realizing that none of these big shots were good people.

They are all very cunning.

If the people from the Internal Guard had not delivered the documents quickly, I'm afraid they would have been delivered after the documents from the Yangzhou Governor's Office.

One is not innocent, the other one slanders others' innocence, it's really...

So dirty!

"I will not be in charge of this matter. You continue to communicate with Zhao Hai and ask him to send the news back in time, so that I can have some peace for a while."

"Also, no matter how Li Cunxi investigates the case, you should not interfere and hinder him."

"What I want is the result, not how many people he implicates in order to get the result. Do you understand?"

Wu Zetian put down the tea bowl and returned to her usual expressionless self.

"I don't care how many people he kills in order to investigate the case. Even if he kills most of the Yangzhou bureaucrats, I still have plenty of ways to refill the government. I just want results."

Wu Zetian narrowed her eyes.

In the past few years, treacherous officials and rebels have repeatedly caused trouble.

The reason is simply because she is a female emperor and easy to bully.

Since these people wanted to cause trouble for her as the female emperor, Wu Zetian had no choice but to use killing to make them understand what cruelty was.

During Li Cunxi's trip to Jiangzhou, in order to help Li Cunxi successfully investigate the case of Duke Huang, she mobilized the Zuolongwu Guards and was determined to massacre everyone in Jiangzhou.

This time, if Li Cunxi's trip to Yangzhou really leads to the day when the unruly people rebel...

It was nothing more than killing everyone in Yangzhou.

She even forced her son to death.

Those who want to rebel against her are nothing but ants.

If you kill, you will kill.

"I will obey your majesty's orders!"

Phoenix clasped its fists and disappeared into the darkness again.

……

Yangzhou, the secret room of Prince Ying’s Mansion, the headquarters of the Iron Hand Group.

The revived Yuan Qi lay on his side in the chair, looking listlessly at Long Feng and Hu Yun on both sides.

At this moment, Yuan Qi has accepted the cruel truth that Bao Chong died at the hands of a mysterious murderer.

After the sadness gradually faded away, he received another good news.

Ge Yaqing was found!

And he has been taken to Tiexian Temple by Yun Gu and is under good protection.

"Having good news is always better than having no good news at all."

Yuan Qi sent away a cousin who came to report the news, stood up, and walked back and forth in the secret room with his hands behind his back.

"Then should we withdraw all the brothers? Now the mysterious murderer is hiding in the dark, and the brothers are scattered outside. I am afraid that there are many dangers."

Long Feng stood up, fully demonstrating what the role of the deputy sect leader was.

"You and Hu Yun should arrange this matter together. I feel a little tired."

"Yes, Sect Master."

Long Feng and Hu Yun stood up and walked out side by side.

Just as he was about to reach the door, Yuan Qi's voice suddenly sounded not far behind.

"You two, be careful."

"I don't have many people I can completely trust. Please don't let anything happen to you."

Long Feng and Hu Yun stopped.

They all turned around and bowed to Yuan Qi.

"We will protect ourselves, Master."

"Go early and come back early. I'll prepare a banquet at home and wait for you two to come back and eat together."
