Chapter 343 1 Everything is crazy
Wu Zetian was indeed crazy, and she drove the chaotic court crazy.
The Wu family wants to seize power, and the Li family wants to take back the throne. The two sides are biting each other like mad dogs, and now Wu Zetian is about to overturn the table.
So what if the troops massacred Jiangzhou?
Throughout history, there are many rulers who have massacred people in various states and counties, especially those that rebelled.
During times of war, rebellion and massacre of an entire state has become the norm. Haven’t you seen Cao Mengde?
If anyone dares to rebel under the current circumstances during the Wu Zhou Dynasty, he will just end up following in the footsteps of Xu Jingye and Li Zhen.
Wu Zetian herself could no longer remember how many tens of thousands of people had died in the massacre of the descendants of the Li family over the years.
Now it is just a matter of slaughtering Jiangzhou with soldiers. At most, they will kill tens of thousands of people in Jiangzhou, that's all.
Wu Zetian's mad-like appearance made Di Renjie below feel terrified.
You have to know that the imperial court has to discuss the Council of State Affairs before mobilizing troops. Only when the top leaders of the state apparatus think it is feasible will they mobilize troops.
Now, the 100,000-strong army of the Zuo Longwu Guard is ready to massacre Jiangzhou, but Di Renjie just found out about it.
This is so much fun.
It was so big that Di Renjie couldn't even laugh.
"Your Majesty, slaughtering Jiangzhou with troops is a bit of an exaggeration."
"Cunxi is a man who knows the big picture and advances and retreats. It is impossible for him to kill everyone in Jiangzhou and rebel together. I hope Your Majesty will recall the main forces of the left and right Dragon Guards."
Wu Zetian looked at Di Renjie as if he were a fool and sneered:
"Huaiying, I want to return the throne to the Li family, why are you unhappy?"
"I massacred Jiangzhou in order to save the Xi army, and I wanted to redress the injustice of Li Ai, the Duke of Huang. Li Ai suffered an unjust accusation, and his injustice has not been redressed for so many years. I redressed him, why don't you laugh?"
Even a fool can feel the atmosphere in Ganlu Palace at this moment.
Di Renjie sensed the subtle atmosphere and immediately knelt down on his knees and knocked his head to the ground.
"Your Majesty, the matter of Huang Guogong Li Ai can be discussed later. It is unwise to send troops to Jiangzhou now. I hope Your Majesty will think twice before acting!"
Wu Zetian stopped sneering and returned to her lazy expression. She glanced at Di Renjie sideways and said:
"I lied to you... Hehehe, only at this moment can I laugh."
"It's false that the soldiers massacred Jiangzhou, but it's true that Fang Zhe led the Zuolong Wuwei to station in Hongzhou."
While Di Renjie breathed a sigh of relief, new questions arose in his mind.
Since the Longwu Guards were stationed in Hongzhou not to attack Jiangzhou.
So what is the purpose of these people being stationed in Hongzhou?
"Xiao Qingfang has been secretly investigating for the past few months and finally found out that the Iron Hand assassins who assassinated Li Cunxi were hired by Jiangzhou Chief Clerk Feng Wanchun, Jiangzhou Sima Ge Bin, Jiangzhou Law Officer Zhang Xiangong, Jiangzhou Silver Officer Wu Shun, Wuping County Magistrate Huang Wenyue, and Pingnan Marquis Xue Qinglin."
"They knew that Cunxi's purpose of this trip was to deal with them, so they spent 100,000 taels of silver to buy Cunxi's life."
"Unfortunately, they underestimated Jinghui and Yuanfang, and also underestimated my Qianniu Guard Cavalry, and thus returned in defeat."
"I am afraid that these traitors will still pay Iron Hands assassins to assassinate Cunxi, so I let Fang Zhe lead the Zuolong Wuwei army to be stationed in Hongzhou in case of emergency."
"As for how these six thieves knew that Li Cunxi's purpose of this trip was to deal with them, I don't think I need to tell you."
Di Renjie figured out the whole story, breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Wu Zetian, and said loudly:
"I thank Your Majesty on behalf of Cunxi for your great grace. My uncle and I are willing to serve Your Majesty with all our hearts and souls until our death!"
Wu Zetian was used to hearing this bullshit, so she waved her hand to signal Di Renjie to get out.
Di Renjie also took the opportunity to say goodbye, left Ganlu Palace, left Taiji Palace, returned to the outside of Cheng'an Gate, and found Zhang Jianzhi and Li Huaiyuan who had been waiting for a long time.
"Huaiying, what's going on?"
The two men came forward and asked anxiously.
"It's urgent. Let's go back quickly and talk slowly on the way. I still have to write a letter to Cunxi when I get back."
……
Wuping County, Jiangzhou.
Beside the long river, there is Fengxi Inn.
More than a dozen lights were lined up on the second floor of Fengxi Inn, illuminating the corridor.
Li Cunxi also came to the headless corpse in the light.
Now, when faced with such a disgusting scene, Li Cunxi can remain expressionless and can even eat while looking at the corpse.
Huang Wenyue's head had been kicked to the door by the shadow before, and was now only half a foot away from his broken neck.
The large amount of blood that spurted from the neck has not yet coagulated and is still on the ground.
The owner of Fengxi Inn was heartbroken when he saw this scene. The county magistrate Huang Wenyue died on the second floor of his inn. He no longer needed to run this inn. Anyway, no one would dare to stay there after hearing that a county magistrate had died there.
Li Cunxi glanced at the blood-stained knife in the corner and smiled coldly.
"The murderer is here, the body is here, and the murder weapon is here."
"I suppose there is no need to investigate this case any more?"
"What do you think?"
"Lord County Magistrate?"
Being named by Li Cunxi, the county magistrate naturally did not dare to play deaf and dumb, and just went along with what Li Cunxi meant.
"What Li Shaoyin said is absolutely right. This Pingnan Hou Xue Qinglin is really despicable. He killed people under the guise of visiting them!"
"If County Magistrate Huang Wenyue hadn't shouted before his death, this thief would have escaped by now. This thief really deserves to be put to death!"
"Please order this thief to be taken back to the county jail. We will determine his crime another day and then take him to the market to be beheaded in public to appease the people of Jiangzhou!"
Li Cunxi liked this county magistrate who looked like Li Gui more and more. He patted him on the shoulder and then winked at Mo Ling.
The demon spirit dragged the frightened Pingnan Hou Xue Qinglin away from the second floor without saying a word.
"Remember to clean up the corpse here and wipe off the bloodstains. Your family depends on this for their livelihood, so you can't be careless." Li Cunxi spoke to the shopkeeper again.
"Li Shaoyin, a murder has happened in my Fengxi Inn. I'm afraid that it will be deserted from now on." The shopkeeper sighed with a lonely look in his eyes.
"No problem. I'll promote your place to you later. You'll definitely have a lot of passers-by."
Li Cunxi let out a breath and thought to himself that he had caught another one.
Now that two are dead and he has captured one, if Wu Yanhao understood what he meant, he would have probably captured Zhang Xiangong who was accompanying him.
Of the six thieves who slandered his family in the past, only two evildoers, Feng Wanchun from Jiangzhou and Ge Bin, are still at large.
The demon spirit, who had already walked out of Fengxi Inn, grabbed Xue Qinglin, who was still trying to cover his face, and shouted to the people around him:
"Everyone, come and take a look. Pingnan Hou Xue Qinglin has murdered Wuping County Magistrate Huang Wenyue in Fengxi Inn. He has been caught red-handed. He will be taken to the county jail to await trial immediately!"
"Everyone, come and take a look, take a look!"
"Pingnan Hou Xue Qinglin openly murdered Wuping County Magistrate Huang Wenyue. He was caught red-handed by Henan Prefecture Shao Yin Li Cunxi. He will definitely not be let off easily!"
"Please wait for a while, my dear friends. I will definitely let you eat the hot blood-soaked steamed buns!"
