Chapter 0088 Human will die

Just half an hour after Wu Zetian's decree was issued, an emergency secret letter from the palace was also delivered to the Wei Palace.

At this time, Wu Chengsi had already fallen asleep, but the content of the secret letter scared him into a cold sweat. He hurriedly got up and ordered someone to find Mr. Ming.

"Your Highness, why are you so panicked?"

When Mr. Ming walked into the room, he saw Wu Chengsi walking in the room in a panic and asked strangely,

Wu Chengsi quickly asked Mr. Ming to sit down, handed him the secret letter from the palace, and said in panic: "The situation is not good, and the emperor actually shows signs of forgiveness of Di Renjie."

Mr. Ming looked at the secret letter and frowned. Things were indeed a little troublesome. He pondered for a while and asked, "What happened in the palace these two days? How could the Lord make such a decision?"

"I have been paying close attention to the situation in the palace. The palace was very calm in the past two days and no abnormalities occurred. It was just that the emperor had some small conflicts with Xue Huaiyi, but it had nothing to do with the poisonous scripture case."

"This is strange."

After Mr. Ming pondered for a long time, he asked again: "Where is Lai Junchen's side? Has he entered the palace to report anything?"

Wu Chengsi still shook his head, "As far as I know, Lai Junchen has never entered the palace. He still has two days left. In the past two days, he looks like he is crazy and searches for Lan Zhenyu everywhere."

Mr. Ming's eyes showed confusion. If nothing had happened, how could the emperor issue such a will?

Wu Chengsi looked at his aide with a gaze. At this time, he was so scared that he didn't know what to do. The original case of the poison scripture was almost certain that there were so many accidents, which made him regret it.

"Sir, why don't Di Renjie be assassinated again?"

Mr. Ming shook his head, "There is no basis for assassinating Di Renjie now. It can be said that he committed suicide for fear of crime and was guilty. Such assassination would be left unresolved.

But now he has come out of prison, has been lifted from house arrest, and assassination of him again is a shocking case, just like a case of the Poison Sutra. Your Highness should not have this idea again."

"But I'm worried that what if the priest sees through the truth?"

"Weizhi also has this concern, but things have not reached the worst point yet, and we still have a chance to turn the tables."

"What opportunity?" Wu Chengsi asked nervously.

Mr. Ming said slowly: "The key is Lai Junchen and Lan Zhenyu. As long as Lan Zhenyu's confession is directed at Di Renjie, and Lai Junchen is willing to cooperate with Your Highness, the matter will be easy."

"Does Lai Junchen dare to deceive the emperor and act as false?"

Mr. Ming sneered coldly, "When will he not dare to live? As long as there is enough benefits, not to mention the emperor, even his parents will do whatever he wants. Your Highness, he actually wants to kill Di Renjie, why not help Your Highness? The key is to meet his requirements!"

Wu Chengsi thought for a while and said, "In spring, he went to my Luming Villa and praised the scenery there. If it really doesn't work, I'll give it to him!"

Mr. Ming reminded: "Not only the villa, but also the favorite concubine of His Highness An Boer, he has also been coveting for a long time."

Wu Chengsi really didn't want to give his favorite concubine to Lai Junchen, but he thought that the consequences of the Poisonous Sutra case were serious, so he couldn't care about it. He ordered someone to find his second son Wu Yanyi.

He thought about it again. The manor and the woman could not be given to Lai Junchen together. He had to let him do his job for him first, and then thank him.

Wu Chengsi handed his son a sandalwood box, and gave him a pass-through gold medal, and told him: "Go to Junchen's house as soon as possible and hand him the box. The handwritten letter I gave him is also inside. Tell him that as long as he gets done, I promise his woman that will definitely be sent."

Wu Yanyi accepted the box and bowed, "Younger understand, go now!"

In the darkness, Wu Chengsi stood at the gate and watched his son ride away, and his heart couldn't help but hang. He clasped his hands and prayed to the heaven, "Please God bless me to overcome this disaster."

.........

Before dawn, Di Yan rushed to Nanshi and found Li Zhen. After waiting for a long time, Li Zhen slowly walked out of the store, scratched his head and said, "So now, it's coming, it's not dawn yet!"

Di Yan was so anxious that she had been waiting for a long time. She grabbed Li Zhen and said impatiently: "Brother Li, I have something urgent to tell you."

Li Zhen was shocked when he saw that she was excited and completely different from the past, and he was shocked, "What happened?"

At this time, the shop behind him also opened. A guy walked out yawning. Di Yan quickly pulled Li Zhen, "Let's talk in another place."

Di Yan grabbed Li Zhen and came to the alley next to the store. Seeing that there was no one on both sides, she said anxiously: "There are two things. The first is that the imperial edict was issued last night, and the investigation of my father by the Censorate was suspended and the house arrest of my father was lifted."

"This is simply great!"

This news made Li Zhen ecstatic. He had been resentful about the day before yesterday about letting Lan Zhenyu go.

Without Lan Zhenyu's evidence, Di Renjie will face the danger of being forced to confess his guilt. Now that the danger is lifted, how can he be unhappy?

"It's a good thing. Last night our whole family cheered and everyone didn't sleep all night."

Di Yan was also very excited, her eyes turned red. She wiped away the tears in her eyes and said, "The second thing is strange. Just as I was about to go out this morning, the concierge gave me a letter."

Di Yan took out a letter and handed it to Li Zhen, "Look at it! A young monk sent it to Di's mansion last night. Everyone was happy about his father's affairs, and they didn't even care about this letter."

Li Zhen took the letter, and the lines of sloppy handwriting on the letter made him a little stunned. He saw that the letter said, "Please transfer it to Li Zhen by Miss Di Yan!"

"Is this a letter to me?"

"Yes! I guess the other party doesn't know where you live, so I'll send it. You can see who will give it to me first?"

Seeing that Li Zhen was about to open the letter, Di Yan quickly reminded him: "Be careful of letters of unknown origin!"

Li Zhen thought about it, wrapped his hands in his clothes, carefully opened the envelope, took out a piece of jute paper, and saw it saying, "Thank you for not killing your son. My life is in danger, but I have a handwritten letter written by Wu Chengsi to Wu Shun, which records the plan for the poisonous sutra case. I want to present this letter to the Prime Minister Di, and meet in Xuanzang Pavilion of the Pure Land Temple at the hour of Shen afternoon tomorrow."

The signature is Lan Zhenyu. Li Zhen was shocked and said to Di Yan anxiously: "It's Lan Zhenyu's letter!"

Di Yan was also surprised. She quickly took the letter and read it. She couldn't help but say in surprise: "How can I ask my father to come forward?"

Li Zhen had calmed down. It should be because Lan Zhenyu was seriously toxic and could no longer support him, so he decided to choose a final decision.

Li Zhen walked back and forth a few steps, his pair of sword eyebrows relaxed and tightened, and finally said to Di Yan: "This matter is of great importance, let your father decide!"

.........

In Anyefang, Di Renjie's prime minister's mansion, the troops stationed around Di Mansion have been withdrawn. Since house arrest has been basically cancelled, the guards who monitor Di Renjie in Di Mansion have also evacuated before dawn. Di Renjie has regained his freedom, but his official position has not been restored and he is still suspended.

In the yard of Di Renjie's study, Li Zhen and Jiuzhi walked back and forth uneasy. Jiuzhi asked in a low voice: "Old Li, do you think the old man is afraid of Lan Zhenyu being poisoned and dare not go?"

Li Zhen said angrily: "He is so old, why are you afraid of? I think you are afraid of!"

Jiu Zhi scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I'm a little scared. If I get poisoned arrows and don't have the popularity of you, I have to wait for death. If I die, Cui'er will marry someone else. I originally planned to buy a house in Luoyang..."

"Stop talking, she's out!"

Jiuzhi quickly shut up and saw the door open. Di Yan walked out of the study and said to Li Zhen: "Brother Li, my father wants to talk to you, you can go in!"

Li Zhen nodded and walked into the study quickly. Jiu Zhi hurriedly came up and said, "My sister Yan, what did your father say?"

Di Yan shook her head and said in a little restless mood: "I don't know what my father means. He just asked me in detail what happened these days, and then he pondered and said nothing."

"I guess your father will report to the Queen and ask the Queen to send troops to surround the Jingtu Temple. Anyway, as long as you catch Lan Zhenyu, he will clear his grievances. This is the most effective way, what do you think?"

Di Yan looked at him in surprise, "You are very smart! That's why I am the same as you think. My father should not take risks."

Jiuzhi held back his laughter, turned his head and whispered to himself: "It's about my fat man's life, how can you not be smarter?"

......

In the room, Di Renjie stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and pondered. He had already obtained details from his daughter. Of course, he knew that the matter was of great importance, but he needed to think about it clearly.

At this time, Di Renjie felt something and turned around and saw Li Zhen standing aside. He didn't know how long he had been waiting, so he apologized and said, "Sorry, I have neglected Mr. Li."

Di Renjie returned to his seat and sat down, handed Lan Zhenyu's letter to Li Zhen, "I have already thought about it. I am going to see this Lan Zhenyu, but I am still a little worried."

"What are the matters that Di Xiangguo is worried about?"

"I'm worried that Lai Junchen has a lot of eyeliners, and probably there are also in my mansion. If you come to the mansion today, he will probably already know."

"Are Di Xiangguo worried that Lai Junchen would go to snatch the letter?"

Di Renjie sighed slightly, "My cruel officials of the Tang Dynasty have gone from Suo Yuanli to Zhou Xing, and then to Lai Junchen. It can be said that each generation is better than the next. Lai Junchen is a figure. Although he is full of evil, he cannot deny that he has outstanding features. He is especially good at seizing all opportunities. I think you should have a deep understanding."

Li Zhen nodded silently. He thought of Lai Junchen arresting Lan Zhenyu twice, and especially found out that Lan Zhenyu was hiding in the Suo family, which impressed him. Lai Junchen did have unusual methods.

Di Renjie smiled again and said, "So I want to discuss with you how to avoid Lai Junchen's eyes and ears?"

Li Zhen understood what Di Renjie meant and asked for a moment of contemplation: "I heard that Di Xiang's calligraphy is excellent and can imitate the handwriting of many people?"

"It should be OK!" Di Renjie smiled and said, "If I were a famous calligrapher, I might be a little less skilled. If I were an ordinary person, there would be no big problem."

Li Zhen immediately said: "I have a strategy that may avoid Lai Junchen's eyes and ears."
