Chapter 739 Who will investigate the case
Yuan Tiangang was not a fool, so he naturally did not resist and allowed the Iron Hand killers who came out of the darkness to take him away.
To be honest, ever since he saw Hu Jinghui leading the Qianniu Guards Cavalry to charge at the Snake Spirit Killer, he felt that there must be a big problem.
In that battle, Hu Jinghui had countless opportunities to kill him directly, but every time Hu Jinghui rode his horse past him and refused to kill him.
The most important thing is that Yuan Tiangang is still wondering who let him out from the chaos?
"I wonder which lord in the court you all serve under?"
After walking for a while, Yuan Tiangang felt that he should have figured it out, so he asked Chen Yiqiu.
Chen Yiqu's face was furious, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Old man, are you fucking deaf? We are the Iron Hand Group, can't you fucking hear us?"
"It is true that you are the Iron Hand Group, but you must take orders from a minister in the court." Yuan Tiangang said firmly.
"What's the reason?" Ge Yayun asked coldly.
Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard lightly: "First of all, you should have stayed out of this matter, but you are willing to get stuck in the quagmire. This is unreasonable."
"Well, you're right."
"Secondly, I was secretly taken away by the inner guards, a matter of great importance that no one knew about. However, I was rescued by the Snake Spirit along the way. Just when I was about to escape, I encountered you, the jackals. It must be a high-ranking official in the court who understands the Snake Spirit's style of operation and set up this plan just to take me away and achieve his own hidden purpose."
Ge Yayun did not refute, but nodded: "Yes, you are right."
"Finally, and most importantly, your Iron Hand Group shouldn't have gotten involved in this. Yet, not only did you get involved, you even guessed our Snake Spirit's plan."
"Everything you said is correct. You are really smart. Unfortunately, you are destined to never see the Snake Spirit Organization you long for again, and you will never be able to control it again."
"What do you mean, the people behind you want to kill me?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
When the Qianniu Guards and the Left and Right Jinwu Guards came to search the mountain, they only found corpses and a large number of bones.
I wanted to find some living people to ask about the situation, but I found that every dead person had been precisely killed and there was no one alive.
This was an extremely terrifying thing. After the Qianniu Guards and the Inner Guards evacuated, someone ambushed the Snake Spirit Killers in the mountains and killed most of them, or even wiped them all out.
It was already dawn. Hu Jinghui looked up at the dawn in the east, waved his hand, and gathered his army to retreat to Luoyang to report.
"You came back so quickly, Jinghui. Maybe you discovered something?"
In Ganlu Palace, Wu Zetian had just woken up when she met Hu Jinghui who had returned, so she took the opportunity to meet him.
"Your Majesty, I led the left and right Jinwu Guards to search the mountain, and indeed, we discovered something."
Afterwards, Hu Jinghui informed Wu Zetian of the bodies and bones he had discovered.
Wu Zetian was silent for a while and asked:
"So, after the Snake Spirit Killer failed in his attack on Huang Shengyan and his men, he was ambushed by another group in the foothills, and they might all have died in the end?"
"Even Yuan Tiangang disappeared after this?"
Hu Jinghui nodded in agreement.
"Damn it! I never thought there would be so many hateful thieves in the shadow of my Great Zhou!"
Wu Zetian was furious and clenched her fists.
But she soon discovered the blind spot.
"Fortunately, it's not all bad news. At least, most of the assassins that Snake Spirit sent to Luozhou are gone."
……
It was naturally impossible to hide the news that Huang Shengyan was ambushed and many Snake Spirit killers were killed from the prime ministers.
Wu Chengsi, who had wanted to watch a Western Region striptease tonight, looked at Fenghuang and the inner guards with grief and anger on his face.
"It's curfew time now, and you still want me to investigate the case?"
"It's not an investigation, Your Highness the Prince of Wei," Fenghuang said with a headache. "Something unspeakable has happened, and His Majesty has ordered us to invite Your Highness the Prince of Wei into the palace."
"What you said, are you inviting me alone to the palace? If you invited me alone, I would definitely not go."
"Of course not, Your Highness Prince of Wei. His Majesty has invited not only you, but also Elder Di, Elder Zhang, and Your Highness Prince of Liang."
"That's fine, let's go."
Wu Chengsi tidied his clothes, gave a few instructions to his steward, and then followed Fenghuang to Taichu Palace.
At the same time, Zhao Hai invited Di Renjie, You Huan invited Zhang Jianzhi, and the new leader of the Inner Guard Pavilion, Chen Qi, invited King Wu Sansi of Liang.
Four carriages, protected by dozens of internal guards, headed towards Taichu Palace.
Soon, the four prime ministers gathered together, but the other prime ministers who were supposed to enter the government hall did not arrive.
"Something happened, and I had to call you."
Wu Zetian sat behind the desk. The sky outside had become much brighter.
However, it is still under curfew and there is no pedestrian on the street.
"Your Majesty, what exactly happened?" Di Renjie asked, stroking his beard.
Wu Zetian let out a breath and told the story of how Huang Shengyan picked up someone last night, was attacked, and then the attacker was attacked.
However, Wu Zetian still chose to conceal the person Huang Shengyan met.
Several prime ministers have already made their own plans for this.
The key to this problem lies in the fact that the attacker's specific identity is the Snake Spirit Killer, and the person Snake Spirit is looking for is nothing more than the person Huang Shengyan met.
"Your Majesty, I believe that Cunxi's trip to Liuzhou is imminent." Wu Chengsi bowed and spoke first.
Di Renjie nodded: "Your Majesty, I think so too."
"I know that Cunxi's trip to Liuzhou is imminent. The reason I summoned you here is to tell you that there is no need to investigate the whereabouts of the Snake Spirit Killer. Go investigate the crime scene and see if you can find the person who attacked the Snake Spirit Killer."
"I will take your orders."
"Well, while investigating this case, I also need you to investigate another case, which is the fire case at Hanguang Temple."
Wu Chengsi's face turned a little ugly.
It's been two days, and you're still investigating!
The possibility of Huaiyi coming back alive is extremely slim. Even the news sent back by Lu Tong was that no trace of Huaiyi was found. Are you still investigating?
I just killed your man, why are you investigating me?
"Your Majesty, I wonder which case is more important? Once we know, we can focus on investigating it first."
Wu Chengsi's mouth pursed, and he stood up and asked directly.
Wu Zetian narrowed her eyes upon hearing this. "Since you've asked this, Chengsi, I'll be frank. Of the two cases, the attack on the Snake Spirit Killer is naturally more important. This matter concerns the safety of our country."
"In that case, I am willing to investigate the attack on the Snake Spirit Killer."
Wu Chengsi immediately bowed and put the fire case of Hanguang Temple aside.
Wu Zetian looked at Wu Chengsi and frowned.
"How dare this kid ask Di Huaiying to investigate the fire case?"
"Could it be that I am too suspicious?"
