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

Chapter 245 Breaking up

Seeing that the old man didn't dare to confront him head-on, Li Cunxi couldn't help but look down on the old man.

With such ability, this guy who was so scared by my argument in just a few words dared to stand up. Is there really no one behind Princess Taiping?

Li Cunxi turned to Wu Zetian and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Princess Taiping colluded with the Imperial Preceptor Wang Zhiyuan and the Flying Dragon Envoy He Yun to plot a rebellion. I wiped out the rebels in Enji Village. I believe that some officials in the court and the public have already known about it. This matter is absolutely true."

"Humph, even if it was Her Royal Highness the Princess who was betrayed by them, is it possible that they framed Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Zong Qin sneered, "If I am arrested, and I say that you, Li Cunxi, are the mastermind behind my actions, do you think I will kill you, Li Cunxi, along with me?"

"Is Censor Zong trying to make trouble for me? Well, I will tell you something unpleasant. Princess Taiping is colluding with the rebels to murder Your Majesty. I will report this matter. Not only will I report her, but I will also ask Your Majesty to personally arrest Princess Taiping. I will take her to the Inner Guard House and hand her over to Huang Shengyan, the head of the Inner Guard House, to have a thorough trial to see if she has someone backing her up."

"Li Cunxi, you are a treacherous man who has no respect for your majesty." Zong Qinke raised the imperial scepter, as if he was going to attack Li Cunxi.

Li Cunxi pointed at Zong Qinke and shouted, "You are a despicable and corrupt person. You are trying to deceive the emperor and call a deer a horse in public. You are a traitor who deserves death. Do you want to be the Zhao Gao of my Zhou Dynasty?"

"You, you little beast! You have no respect for your elders, you deserve a beating!"

Zong Qinke was old after all. He had learned etiquette for so many years and was broken by Li Cunxi's scolding. He raised his imperial scepter and was ready to hit Li Cunxi.

Li Cunxi didn't indulge him and said loudly:

"You are a treacherous minister of this generation. I have predicted you today, right? You, the leader of the rebellious party, will definitely not escape the crime of indiscretion in front of the palace. Come and try to touch me once. If I hide in the court today, it will be considered that you, an old beast, have a dog's face!"

"I am not afraid to tell you that more than a dozen ministers in the court joined forces with someone to buy my life from the Iron Hand Group. If it weren't for the protection of the inner guards, I would have died on the way back to the capital!"

"You old dog, come and try to touch me today. If I don't interrogate you until your entire family is wiped out, then I, Li Cunxi, will have lived in vain!"

Zong Qinke, who originally wanted to beat Li Cunxi to death with his tablet in one breath, suddenly found that no one was stopping him.

Several guests of the prince who originally wanted to stop him from killing Li Cunxi also retreated and stood still, pretending that nothing had happened. Everything seemed so quiet. The Linde Hall was really unspeakably quiet.

Li Cunxi swaggered to stand in front of Zong Qinke, raised the tablet in Zong Qinke's hand, and said with a look that deserved a beating on his face:

"Come, hit me to death with your tablet."

Zong Qinke was in a trance and suddenly looked up at Wu Zetian lying on the dragon bed. Yes, everything seemed too abnormal.

The most abnormal thing was Wu Zetian, who was watching the show on the dragon bed and never expressed any attitude. They were fighting to the death below, but Wu Zetian had no attitude at all.

What was even more strange was that Li Cunxi had already committed the crime of impoliteness in front of the palace from the very beginning. The grandson's scolding was really ugly. But no one else made any comments on it, but kept a distance from him. Especially the prime minister Zhang Jianzhi, who closed his eyes calmly, as if he had anticipated the current scene.

That's right, this scene had appeared once a few years ago. When the current Majesty Wu Zetian was preparing to depose Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, Li Xian, and enthrone Li Dan as emperor, the mad dog of the Wu family, Wu Chengye, made a big fuss in the court, forced a group of Li's old ministers to death, and successfully deposed Li Xian.

Today's scene seems familiar.

When Zong Qinke looked down at Li Cunxi, he saw a strange smile on Li Cunxi's face. Then he raised his right hand holding the tablet and hit Li Cunxi's forehead hard.

Zong Qinke pulled his hand hard without saying a word, which prevented Li Cunxi from hitting him.

"Zong Yushi, you want to beat me to death. I want to fulfill your wish, but you are not motivated enough. Even after all this, you still can't beat me to death."

"If you don't kill me, I will continue to complain to Princess Taiping."

Zong Qinke was still in shock and bowed to Wu Zetian.

"Your Majesty, Lord Li and I have been disrespectful in front of the palace. I hope Your Majesty will punish us both!"

Wu Zetian smiled and shook her head, saying:

"You are guilty of misbehavior in front of the palace, but Cunxi is not. If I say no, then there is no. Fenghuang, take Zong Qinke to the Inner Guards' jail and wait for interrogation."

Fenghuang, who had been waiting for a long time, came in with two guards and dragged Zong Qinke out in front of everyone.

Zong Chuke, one of the ministers, looked anxious. He wanted to come out to help, but he did not dare to confront Li Cunxi who was possessed by Wu Chengye.

Li Cunxi turned to Wu Zetian, bowed again, and said, "Your Majesty, I am reporting Princess Taiping on the case of the bleeding eagle. This is a public matter. I also have a private matter to report to Princess Taiping!"

"please say."

"Your Majesty, on my way back to the capital, I was besieged by assassins hired by the Iron Hand Group hired by Princess Taiping. Fortunately, I was rescued by the inner guards and protected by the Qianniu Guards. I was able to escape death. For the sake of the soldiers who fought bravely, I will also report this thief!"

Before Wu Zetian could say anything, a man came out and said loudly:

"This is even more nonsense!"

Li Cunxi looked back and saw a young general coming out. He had a handsome appearance and held his head high.

"I wonder who this gentleman is?"

"Sir Li, I am Wu Youji." Wu Youji said calmly, "I just heard from you that the assassins hired by the Iron Hand Group hired by Princess Taiping besieged you. Do you have any evidence?"

"Everyone knows that the Iron Hand Group is always ruthless when committing crimes. Often, after a major crime is committed, there is no victim, no murderer, and no one hired by them. I guess your Excellency wants to use this excuse to shut me up, right?"

"I dare not. I just want to ask, Lord Li, do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, I'm sorry that I can't agree with you."

Li Cunxi took out two letters from his arms, his expression indifferent, and glanced at Wu Youji.

"I do have two letters here, which record more than one group of officials. If you have the courage, come and open them yourself. Don't worry about how I got these things. I just know that two groups of people offered 100,000 taels of silver to buy my life."

"I didn't reveal everything because I wanted to give some people some face. Since Lord Wu, as a relative of your majesty, has said so, I have no choice but to fight to the death with everyone else."

Wu Youji paused and returned to the court.

"Master Li, please do as you wish. I will never get involved. If Master Li insists on arresting Princess Taiping, I fully support it."
