Twenty-fifth The ripple effect continues
"What did you say was the name of the person caught at the station?" Yuan Gongyu asked Lai Mingjie.
Lai Mingjie looked at Yuan Gongyu's nervous expression, secretly surprised, he always thought that the daughter of Zhao Mo, the assassin of Mingzhou, was the key, but now from Yuan Gongyu's nervous expression, this Di Feng should not be simple, he hurriedly replied: "It's called Di Feng"
"Di Feng, Di Jinghui, he is actually here, and he is still involved with the eldest grandson Wuji, what is the reason?" Yuan Gongyu muttered to himself for a while before asking, "Have you asked him why he was at the scene?"
"The lower official hasn't had time to ask," Lai Mingjie replied truthfully.
"You go and ask, but remember, this person must not be offended, you must ensure his safety without my instructions, but you must not let him go, this son is very important"
Watching Lai Mingjie leave, Yuan Gongyu immediately wrote a secret letter and handed it to his relatives to "pass it to Lord Xu quickly, and you can't delay it for a moment"

In Sanqiao Mountain, Yuan Mu was crying bitterly and telling Jing Shisanniang what had happened.
"What? Your master was killed!"
Jing Sanniang was shocked when she heard this, she did not participate in Du Fei's action that night because she received the decree in the teaching, and only then did she know that Du Fei was actually killed, "Who can kill Du Fei in today's rivers and lakes, who will it be?"
Jing Sanniang asked with palpitations: "Can you see whose hand it is?"
Yuan Mu whimpered and said: "That night, I was responsible for cleaning up the guards outside the courtyard, and when I arrived in the courtyard after cleaning up, I saw that kid named Di Feng, killed the master with a sword, I didn't dare to show up at that time, so I hid and escaped the catastrophe, that kid was still holding the sword of the senior brother in his hand, and the senior brother must have died in his hands...... Woo woo ......" Yuan Mu said that he was sad, and couldn't help but start crying bitterly.
Jing Thirteen Niangjue's words were a little unreasonable, "How can a hairy boy kill a famous man like Du Fei, and how can he recognize Chen Chong's sword?" Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "How did you recognize this son, and how did you know that he took your senior brother's sword?"
"Because he killed the life of my uncle Du Peng, my senior brother and I once chased this son on the order of our master, and only then did we know that his name was Di Feng, and I had seen his appearance; I used to envy my brother for having a famous sword, and my brother used the sword of victory over evil passed down by my father, and my predecessors should know that victory over evil without tip is the first evil sword cast by Ou Yezi, so I can recognize it very well; Senior, Yuan Mu has nothing else to ask for, only to ask for the seniors to help me avenge the master and senior brother, Yuan Mu will repay the great kindness" Yuan Mu finished speaking, knelt on the ground, kowtowed.
Seeing that Yuan Mu's forehead had been knocked out of blood, Jing Sanniang gently helped him up, and said lightly: "I won't help you, the vendetta in the rivers and lakes is like this, who can tell right and wrong clearly, life and death, just look at it, see that your temperament is pure and good, you better go back to the mountain gate as soon as possible, don't think about revenge anymore, this Jianghu is not suitable for your temperament" After speaking, seeing that Yuan Mu was still hesitating, Jing Sanniang said again: "There is a master in Kunlun to protect you, isn't it good for you to settle down and study martial arts to live an ordinary life?" If I hadn't been entangled in grievances and couldn't extricate myself, I would have found a place to hide, get married, and have children......"
Jing Sanniang said and fell into memory, "When I was still very young, I was adopted by the master, and I can't remember the appearance of my parents, I only remember the corpses everywhere, and the bitter pleading of the dying people, for the master, there seems to be no special impression, the master just urges himself to practice every day and doesn't say a word, until now I don't know the name of the master, at the age of twenty-five, I went down the mountain and met Wu Mei according to the master's requirements, and three years have passed, and I don't know how many people I eliminated for the martial arts, Didn't the relatives and friends of these people think about revenge? Who will they seek revenge on, whether it is themselves or the Empress Wu?"
Jing Sanniang doesn't feel like a person, but like an emotionless tool, the master uses herself, and the martial queen is also using herself, and in the end, her ending is likely to be like Du Fei, Elder Kunlun! That's the envy of many people in the rivers and lakes, but it turned out that he didn't die in the hands of a nobody, he was also a tool and a tool reused by his own tool, which was ridiculous.
"But Di Feng's kid is impressive", when he thought of Di Feng, Jing Sanniang's face couldn't help but turn red, and the scene of being attacked by that bad boy in Zhou Wangfu came to mind, Di Feng's name was also inquired about by Jing Shisanniang later, "At that time, Di Feng was just a rough martial artist, and he didn't even have internal strength, but he didn't expect that in just a few months, he became a rookie who could kill the heroes of the rivers and lakes, he had completed the task, and the sect also issued an order not to contact the martial arts queen again, and now he is a free body, hum ~ hum ~ Di Feng." , okay, I'll go to Xinning to meet you shameless thief."
Jing Sanniang was distracted, and when she came back to her senses, Yuan Mu had already quietly left, but I don't know if he listened to his advice............
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the news that the eldest grandson Wuji had hanged himself in Xinning Station reached Chang'an, and the government and the opposition were shocked for a while.
Yu Zhining's face was gloomy in the Zhongshu Political Affairs Hall, and he said worriedly: "As soon as the Duke of Qi dies, I'm afraid that no one will be able to stop the Empress Wu from ascending to the throne, Duke Liang, you have an idea!"
Di Renjie waved his hand and said with a smile: "Yan Guogong is now on duty, don't talk about business, I heard that there is a mutton restaurant opened by Hu people in Xishi is good, I have been gluttonous recently, why don't you go and drink two cups together?"
Looking at Di Renjie's smiling appearance, Yu Zhining was very annoyed, "When is it, you are still so open, don't you also want to learn from that Li Maogong......"
Di Renjie waved his hand, interrupted Yu Zhining, and pouted outside the door; Yu Zhining realized this, it turned out that Di Renjie waved his hand twice to signal that he had ears on the wall, and he hugged his fist and said: "Okay, let's go together"
Out of the palace gate, Di Renjie said in a low voice: "Zhong Mi rest assured, as long as Li Maogong is here, this Tang Dynasty is still surnamed Li."
Yu Zhining said disdainfully: "The traitorous villain who is greedy for power, you don't want to pretend to him in front of me, the abolition of Wang Liwu is not his secret contribution, how can the Wu clan ascend to the throne"
"Huh! You are wrong about this, Taizong was very fond of Li Tao when he was alive, but when Taizong was critically ill, he suddenly degraded him and went to the place, why is this?"
"Why else, it's not that Taizong Shengming has seen that this guy is ruthless and unrighteous, and it is difficult to trust his life, otherwise the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang should also have a place in this house."
"Haha~" Di Renjie laughed, "In vain, you are from Tiance Mansion, and you still don't know the ability of Taizong, Li Tao is ruthless and unrighteous?" Have you forgotten Shan Xiongxin, forgot to open a warehouse to give up food, Li Tao dared to give up his glory and wealth in exchange for Shan Xiongxin's life, and dared to violate Tianyan and risk the crime of bullying the king to open a warehouse to help the people, how can this move be ruthless and unjust? It was because Taizong saw his loyalty that he degraded him out of Beijing, which is also Taizong's way of employing people."
Seeing the mutton restaurant, Di Renjie stopped talking and said to the guy: "Bring us two sheep's heads, cut some white meat, and find a secluded room."
"Two more pots of stone frozen spring," Yu Zhining added.
Entering the room, Di Renjie continued: "Li Jicai has been the governor of Diezhou for less than half a month, and now the saint has succeeded to the throne, and in the same month, the saint summoned him to worship the Luozhou assassin history, and then added the seal of the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, and ordered him to be the subordinate of the Tongzhongshu, to participate in the management of confidential affairs, and in the same year, he was worshiped as the left servant of Shangshu, and Yonghui worshiped Sikong in four years, and the saint also personally painted a portrait for him in Lingyan Pavilion and made a preface, such an abnormal grace, Li Ji can not die? Isn't there a shadow of Taizong in this series of actions of Gaozong? Think about it."
Yu Zhining pondered for a moment, got up and poured Di Renjie a full glass of wine, and asked, "You mean, it was deliberately arranged by Taizong and Gaozong to be demoted first and then promoted?" The first emperor and the current saint are acting together?"
Di Renjie nodded firmly, "Yes, with Li Ji's loyalty and his prestige in the army, after receiving such a great favor from today's saints, he will be iron-hearted to protect the Tang Dynasty's surname Li, the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang are bright, this Li Ji is dark, and one light and one dark hand is Taizong's mastery."
Yu Zhining's opinion of Li Ji has changed, but he still asks puzzledly: "But why does he favor the Wu clan in the matter of abolishing Wang Liwu?"
"Li Ji is not partial to the Wu family, he is partial to the saint, the eldest grandson and other Longyou valve is powerful, and there are already signs of suppressing the imperial power, even if there is no abolition of Wang Liwu, the saint will also move the eldest grandson and Chu Suiliang, and Li Ji is loyal to only one person, Gaozong, he will do what the emperor wants" Di Renjie said this, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, alas! sighed and said: "I have to admire Empress Wu, Taizong worked hard to lay out a series of means, one bright and one dark, but was borrowed by Empress Wu and turned invisible."
Yu Zhining took a drink of the wine glass and sighed: "People, everyone has selfish intentions, Taizong has it, Gaozong has it, the eldest grandson Wuji has it, and Chu Suiliang has it, alas! It wouldn't be a big deal if there was another martial queen, but I know you Liang Gong didn't. I have been trembling all these years, and finally ended up exhausted, now I am old, unable to return to the sky, but my selfishness is not to cause trouble to my family, one day, if I am in trouble, I also hope that Liang Gong will protect my wife and children to be safe and prosperous. ”
