Humans in All Heavens: Starting with Detective Dee

Before Wu Zetian discovered this, Xu Shide hurriedly broke away from the other guards.

Escape.

This was precisely Di Renjie's objective.

This scared Xu Shide away.

There are some things you can do, but you can't say.

Although he knew that Xu Shide was plotting to steal the treasure, he could not directly report it to Wu Zetian so that she could deal with Xu Shide.

Otherwise, wouldn't other things also be exposed?

They also couldn't directly assassinate Xu Shide.

After much thought, he came up with this idea and asked Zeng Tai to send a message directly to Xu Shide.

The matter of Liu Chali being killed.

Once he finds out about this, he will definitely worry about Li Gui, since the last copy of the Blue Robe Chronicle is still in Li Gui's hands.

They learned that Li Gui was not locked up in the courtyard.

With Xu Shide's intelligence, he would naturally think that Di Renjie must have learned something from Liu Chali or Liu Da.

Li Gui was rescued.

Even knowing that Di Renjie had rescued Li Gui.

Xu Shide dared not complain to Wu Zetian, accusing Di Renjie of colluding with the former subordinates of the King of Yue.

If he reports this, he will also die, and his plot to steal the treasure will naturally be exposed.

Di Renjie colluded with the former subordinates of the King of Yue, but there was not a single piece of evidence.

So, to avoid being torn apart by five horses by Wu Zetian, Xu Shide threw his body into the mountains to feed the wolves.

Naturally, the only option was to flee overnight.

No one dared to tell.

After Li Xian left Huzhou, Di Renjie was finally at ease.

Liu Chali and Liu Da were executed one after the other.

The case of murdering one's own child, and the case of the two guests from Chang'an, were thus concluded.

Empress Wu Zetian was furious.

More than a year ago, Xu Shide demanded power from her, first by infiltrating the Chongwen Academy, an agency under the Crown Prince.

Then, monitoring Huzhou.

They claimed they could obtain evidence of the Crown Prince's collusion with the former subordinates of the King of Yue.

Who knew that not only did he fail to obtain evidence, he would also flee to avoid punishment.

Inside a small courtyard in Huzhou.

Seeing the dozens of imperial guards kneeling before her, Wu Zetian was furious.

"Useless, a bunch of useless people. They've been in Huzhou for over a year and haven't completed any tasks."

They didn't even know where their superiors had gone.

He patted the armrest of the chair next to him.

Wu Zetian's eyes were sharp as knives.

The dozens of guards kneeling in the courtyard didn't even dare to breathe.

They were afraid of attracting the attention of Wu Zetian in her rage.

Some time ago, Xu Shide sent a message saying that he would soon obtain the evidence.

Today I learned that Xu Shide has disappeared.

Wu Zetian's anger can be imagined.

No one in the world would dare to joke with her like that.

Anyone who dared to do so has already been chopped into mincemeat.

"Tell me, where did Xu Shide go?" Wu Zetian suddenly stood up from her chair, her bright yellow dragon robe creating a gust of wind.

"We have no idea where he has gone."

The sound came out intermittently.

Wu Zetian frowned, knowing that these people would not dare to deceive her.

Then he added, "Report on the things Xu Shide has done during this period, and who he has been in contact with."

Tell me everything in detail.

"He had the most contact with Liu Chali, the owner of Liujiazhuang, over the past year or so."

Besides that, he didn't do anything else.

Oh, by the way, one of us, using the alias Liu Da, even became the steward of Liu Family Village.

After hearing this news, Wu Zetian pondered for a while.

I don't know what she's thinking.

She knew Liujiazhuang; Xu Shide had said that Liu Chali, the owner of Liujiazhuang, was also a former subordinate of the King of Yue.

After leaving the capital, Li Gui finally arrived at this place.

"Investigate this Liu Family Village immediately," Wu Zetian said to the people around her.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

……

At this time, Di Renjie was still in Liujiazhuang to finish up the work.

With Liu Chali and Wu Xiaojie dead, and Li Gui fleeing, Li Xian is now safe.

Although Liu Chuanlin is not dead, he is unable to appear.

There's no need for disguise. He fell off a cliff and is now unrecognizable. Even those who know him well might not be able to recognize him.

Yingyu is no longer able to return to the Crown Prince's side.

Upon learning that Liu Chuanlin was not dead, she was willing to return to his side.

Liu Chuanlin still has some feelings for Yingyu.

However, the relationship between the two is a bit awkward.

First they were lovers, then they became stepmother and stepson.

Now that Liu Chali is dead, Yingyu still had a past with him.

The relationship has already started.

Neither of them cared about that.

They all plan to live a secluded life.

Liu Chuanlin doesn't mind Yingyu's past, and Yingyu doesn't mind that Liu Chuanlin is now a disfigured person.

A few days later, just as Di Renjie was about to leave Liu Family Village.

Suddenly, Di Chun rushed in.

Seeing that Di Chun looked a little anxious, Di Renjie quickly asked, "Di Chun, what happened?"

Di Chun stepped forward: "My lord, the emperor has arrived."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this news, Di Renjie was not flustered, as he had expected this.

From the moment he had Zeng Tai deliver the message, he judged that Xu Shide was bound to escape.

Afterwards, Zeng Tai was instructed to report to his superiors repeatedly, but there was no news. He then knew that his plan had worked.

Xu Shide must have escaped.

When Wu Zetian learned of this news, she would surely be furious.

"Quickly, welcome the Emperor."

Di Renjie flicked his sleeve, and everyone hurriedly ran outside.

Wu Zetian was sitting on the imperial carriage, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.

He was surrounded by Imperial Guards.

Upon reaching the gate of Liu Family Village, Di Renjie glanced at the emperor.

He ran quickly to the emperor, knelt down, and said, "Your subject Di Renjie respectfully welcomes Your Majesty, long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Wu Zetian looked at Di Renjie, who was lying face down, with a meaningful expression: "Huaiying, what are you doing here in Liu Family Village?"

"Your Majesty, it is only because a murder occurred in Huzhou County that involves Liu Family Village that I have had to come here."

"Oh." A meaningful "oh."

After Wu Zetian got off her imperial carriage, she walked into Liu Family Village and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After arriving at the center of Liujiazhuang.

Wu Zetian waved her hand, dismissing the others, and looked at Di Renjie: "Huaiying, I heard that you executed the master and steward of Liu Family Village?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, both of them have murder charges against them, so I had no choice but to use the law to execute them," Di Renjie said calmly, seemingly without any guilt.

Wu Zetian's eyes were like knives as she sized up Di Renjie, this old fox. Di Renjie smiled slightly, indicating that he knew nothing.

I killed the two men because they had committed a serious murder, which is why I took action.

It is reasonable and in accordance with the law.

There is no evidence that the two were killed to cover up for the crown prince.

As for Liu Chali's identity as a former subordinate of the King of Yue, I don't know.

Wu Zetian was furious, but she couldn't say anything.

As mentioned before, even if she knew about this, she could only suffer in silence.

After all, on the surface, Di Renjie really didn't know the identities of these people.
