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

Chapter 220 Wang Zhiyuan Frames Li Cunxi

Princess Taiping Li Lingyue looked at Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian also looked at Princess Taiping. The Ganlu Palace was filled with scenes of loving mother and filial son.

However, the two of them might not be as calm as they appear.

Ever since Wu Zetian asked Princess Taiping about the mastermind behind the incident, Princess Taiping has never been able to calm down.

Mother, the real mastermind is right beside your bed, talking to you in private. How come you didn’t realize that I, your child, am the real mastermind?

While Princess Taiping was serving tea to Wu Zetian, she was still wondering whether she had been discovered by Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian was also secretly observing Princess Taiping's expression.

Motherly love? What a joke!

She was much more sensitive than many people. As an emperor, she knew exactly what a subordinate said in front of her, what expression he had, and what emotions it represented.

Just now, Li Lingyue said it twice to vent her anger. This is a very problematic signal. It seems that Li Lingyue wants to make trouble for Wang Zhiyuan.

So the question is, does Princess Taiping Li Lingyue want to vent Wu Zetian's anger, or does she want to meet Wang Zhiyuan to secretly pass on information?

Wu Zetian was not sure and could not confirm the authenticity of this matter at this time.

The mother and daughter chatted and stared at each other. Wu Zetian, who had been through the gates of hell, did not see any signs of problems in Li Lingyue. If there were no signs of problems, it would often be a new problem.

Li Lingyue's question was already quite clear. She just didn't know whether Wang Zhiyuan had revealed any valuable information during his interrogation by Huang Shengyan.

Time passed quickly and it was lunch time for Wu Zetian. After having Princess Taiping accompany her for some food, Princess Taiping said goodbye to Wu Zetian under the pretext of returning home to rest. She left Taichu Palace and got on a carriage to rush back to Princess Taiping's residence.

At 3:30 pm, Huang Shengyan came to Ganlu Palace with a new confession and handed it to a eunuch to present to Wu Zetian. Zhang Changzong stood behind Wu Zetian, massaging her shoulders and back. He glanced at the contents of the confession and happened to see it.

"The mastermind behind this is Li Cunxi?"

Zhang Changzong was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but shout out the name on the confession.

"Yes, who is behind Wang Zhiyuan? He actually wanted to frame Li Cunxi. How could I not know who Cunxi is? Besides, this confession is full of loopholes. Even if I don't use my brain, Liu Lang can see through them."

With a sarcastic expression on her face, Wu Zetian handed the confession to Zhang Changzong behind her.

Zhang Changzong took it with trembling hands and carefully read the confession. After a few sips of tea, Zhang Changzong immediately walked to the front, knelt on the ground, and presented the confession with both hands.

"What are you kneeling for?"

"Your Majesty, I absolutely do not believe that Li Cunxi was the one who did this. There are countless flaws in this, and I am willing to point them out to Your Majesty one by one!" Zhang Changzong kowtowed to the ground more than a dozen times.

"You are innocent, there is no need to do this, stand up... But I am surprised that you would take the initiative to defend Li Cunxi."

"I don't want to let this bastard insult Lord Li. Although Lord Li is the descendant of an exile, he is a pure and innocent person, and he is loyal to Your Majesty. This is true, and the sun and the moon can bear witness to it!"

"Okay, is the phrase 'pure as ice and jade' supposed to compliment a man? Liu Lang, get up. I have never doubted Cunxi. He is the only person in my mind who can replace Di Huaiying. If I promote him more than ten times in half a year, even a dog would be fed well, let alone such a hero."

Wu Zetian placed the confession on the exquisite sandalwood table beside her and looked at Huang Shengyan with a smile.

"Shengyan, tell Qingfang to bring Li Cunxi, Hu Jinghui, Li Yuanfang, and Wu Yanhao over here. Also, interrogate Wang Zhiyuan again until he makes a valuable confession."

……

Ruzhou, Liang County.

In the mountains and forests outside the city, nearly a hundred anti-military forces traveled day and night and finally arrived at the outskirts of Liang County.

After getting permission from the leader, everyone finally sat down and rested for an hour.

The cautious leader even sent out a few of his men to patrol around to prevent any accidents.

The subordinates had just walked less than 200 meters out of the camp when they were assassinated by the purple-robed men who followed them.

Ma Rong, dressed like a hero, held a single-edged sword in his hand, bared his teeth at Wu Xiang behind him, and said with a smile:

"After I charge in, you lead people to surround us from all sides. Again, don't let any of them escape."

Wu Xiang looked back at his hundreds of subordinates, and secretly calculated in his mind, and said:

"Okay, go ahead. My brothers will surround that area in a cup of tea."

Ma Rong nodded, holding a single knife and swaggering towards the camp of the anti-military forces. Because he was too conspicuous and did not hide, Ma Rong was discovered by several thieves on guard before he even got close.

"Who are you? Tell me your name!" the sentry shouted.

"The leader of the Baihelin bandits, I'm here to take your lives!"

Ma Rong took two or three steps forward, thrust his sword in his hand, and killed the henchman with one blow. Seeing that the situation was not good, several henchmen on both sides drew their swords and chopped at him.

He dodged a thrusting sword by leaning sideways, and bent over to avoid a chopping knife by bending over. Ma Rong slashed with his backhand, and three good heads fell to the ground and rolled into a ball.

"Who dares to come here and act wild?"

In the camp, an old man in his fifties or sixties rushed out with a long-handled broadsword in his hand. After seeing Ma Rong's appearance clearly, he immediately rushed towards Ma Rong.

In the camp, the minions of the anti-military forces also rushed over, roaring with weapons in their hands, determined to chop off Ma Rong's head.

Outside the camp, Wu Xiang and the people from Jiutang had surrounded the camp. Holding swords and knives, they rushed up in pairs of three or two, kicked down the temporary fence outside, and rushed in to kill the minions who were far weaker than them.

The old man held a big knife in his hand and actually used a crescent-shaped knife technique, controlling the distance and fighting back and forth with Ma Rong.

Ma Rong, who was anxious but couldn't get close, simply jumped back several steps and took the initiative to keep a distance, just to avoid fighting with this old man.

The old man watched as his men were almost killed by the group of people who suddenly appeared, and he couldn't go to help. He was extremely anxious and had to continue to challenge Ma Rong.

However, as soon as he got close to Ma Rong, Ma Rong would immediately widen the distance between them again.

The screams in his ears were becoming less and less, and more and more purple-robed men were surrounding him and Ma Rong. After Wu Xiang, covered in blood, killed the last minion, he squeezed into the crowd, panting, and stood with Ma Rong.

"Well done, Shopkeeper Wu."

"It's OK. I didn't embarrass my master."

"Then you take over this old man?"

"You can't even take it, let alone me."
