Wu Chengsi walked quickly towards Zichen Palace, and the attendant who led the way in front walked very fast, so he had to speed up his pace.

The squares on both sides are quiet, but there is an undercurrent surging in Wu Chengsi's heart.

There was a lot of puzzlement on his face, why did he suddenly announce that he had entered the palace, and he was still in such a hurry.

Standing in front of the door of Zichen Palace, listening to the performance of the inner attendant, a trace of gloom flashed inexplicably in Wu Chenghe's heart.

"Passing on the secretary and supervisor Wu Chenghei to meet you!"

In an instant, Wu Chengsi suppressed all his emotions in his heart, his face was solemn, and he walked into the Zichen Hall respectfully.

As soon as he entered the hall, Wu Chengsi saw Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan standing on the left side of the main hall at a glance, and at the same time, there was also Cheng Di Renjie of Dali Temple standing in the center of the main hall.

Di Renjie, the most famous detective in Dali Temple today, is highly appreciated by Duan Baoxuan and Zhang Wenjun.

has a friendly relationship with the king of Nanchang, and even they have a mutual friend Wang Bo.

Di Renjie has repeatedly solved major cases, and he has been supported by the king of Nanchang.

Wu Chengsi's sharp gaze swept over, and a trace of coldness flashed in his heart, and then he looked ahead, bowed and said: "Secretary Wu Chenghe, meet Your Majesty, Queen of Heaven." ”

Li Zhi pressed his hands on the imperial case, raised his head slightly, glanced at Wu Chenghei, and turned to look at Empress Wu after he died.

He had no interest in questioning.

Empress Wu leaned forward slightly, her tone softened, and she asked calmly, "Cheng Hei, have you been to the Great Ci'en Temple today?" ”

Wu Chengsi was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand and said: "After returning to the heavens, the minister has indeed been to the Great Ci'en Temple today. ”

"When did you go, when did you leave, who did you meet, and what did you do after you left?" Empress Wu asked a series of questions directly.

Wu Chengsi's face was suddenly slightly embarrassed, but he still arched his hand and said: "After returning to the heavens, the minister arrived at the Great Ci'en Temple at the beginning of the time, stayed for about half an hour, and left the Great Ci'en Temple. ”

"Half an hour, isn't it, remember here, you obviously stayed in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple for six quarters of an hour, how come the last two quarters of an hour were eaten by you?" Empress Wu's voice suddenly became cold, and a registration book was thrown directly to the ground by Empress Wu, and her anger was obvious.

Everyone present is a star-studded figure, and it is clearly written that Zhou Guogong Wu Chenghei, arrived at the Great Ci'en Temple at the beginning of the time, and left at six o'clock.

Empress Wu stared straight at Wu Chenghe, and her heart was even more infinitely angry.

Wu Chenghe's face was full of wrongs, and he immediately arched his hand and said: "After returning to the heavens, the minister did arrive at the Great Ci'en Temple at the beginning of the time, and left after the time, but in the end, it did not exceed five minutes of the hour, and he definitely did not stay until six minutes. ”

"It seems that there is a problem with the registration book of the Great Ci'en Temple, your famous Zhou Guogong, when you enter and exit the Great Ci'en Temple, they can also remember the time wrongly, I really don't know how to die." Although Empress Wu's words were calm, the suspicion and coldness in his words all reached the ears of everyone present in an instant.

Where does Empress Wu not believe in the Great Ci'en Temple, she does not believe in Wu Chenghei.

Li Xuan stood on one side, her eyebrows lowered, as if she hadn't seen or heard anything.

……

"The queen of heaven, the memory of the minister, there is absolutely no deviation, at six o'clock, the minister has arrived at Qujiang Pond, wandering around the pool, not long ago just returned to the house, he was summoned by the palace, and came here immediately." Wu Chengsi arched his hand, although his face was wronged, he still said calmly and respectfully: "Queen of Heaven, maybe it is really the Great Ci'en Temple that has misremembered, and it is not known. ”

"Then what did you do at Daci Temple?" Empress Wu's eyes looked at Wu Chengsi coldly, and there was deep anger in her eyes.

Li Xuan, Ming Chongyan, and Di Renjie and others, who were standing on the side, stared at Wu Chengsi with deep eyes at the same time, staring at his every move.

Today, in the Great Ci'en Temple, Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan are only one step slower than Wu Chenghe, but the two of them have not seen Wu Chengsi at all.

"After returning to the Queen of Heaven, the minister went to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple for His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, as well as his grandfather, Erlang thought twice, prayed for peace, and blessed his health." After Wu Chengsi finished speaking, the whole person bowed heavily.

"Did you really do that?" A trace of coldness flashed on Empress Wu's face, but then, Empress Wu asked more directly, "Who did you see there?" ”

Wu Chengsi paused slightly, but still arched his hand and said: "The minister met the two masters of the Great Ci'en Temple, Hui Nu and Shan Wu Regrets. ”

"You're here to see good and have no regrets." Empress Wu's words pierced the concealment in Wu Chenghe's words.

Hui Nua is responsible for guarding the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and Zhou Guogong Wu is the heir of the honored guests, and Hui Nuan is naturally always accompanied.

But Hui Nuan was accompanied by Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan in the end, and there was no Wu Chengsi at all, so Wu Chengsi could only leave early.

Even Wu Chengsi had seen Hui Nua a little, and he turned around and went to see Zen Wu, and he spent most of his time there with Zen No Regrets.

……

Wu Chengsi fell silent, Li Xuan, Ming Chongyan, and Di Renjie were all silent.

Although the Great Mercy and Grace Temple is a place of prayer and worship, it is not necessarily all the Buddha who worships him.

For example, the entire Great Mercy and Grace Temple was specially expanded by the emperor to commemorate his mother's eldest grandson.

In the temple, there is also a monument to the fortune of the eldest grandson queen.

In Chang'an City, large families can also send the memorial tablets of the deceased elders of the family to the Great Ci'en Temple, and then worship every day.

If there is any inconvenience to come, you can also ask the monks in the temple to burn incense and worship on your behalf.

Wu Chengsi was naturally in this situation, but what he was looking for was a good and unrepentant mage from Tianzhu, not any halfway monk in the temple.

Because the people he burned incense to worship were his father Wu Yuanshuang and his uncle Wu Yuanqing.

Wu Yuanshuang and Wu Yuanqing are half-brothers and sisters with Empress Wu, but these two, when Empress Wu was young, treated his mother Yang very meanly, and often abused and humiliated Empress Wu.

Later, Wu became the queen, Wu Yuanshuang served as the assassin of Haozhou, and Wu Yuanqing was the assassin of Longzhou, but soon after, they all died due to the incident with Zhenzhou.

Although the two have a mausoleum, they are not in Chang'an.

Wu Chengsi set up a family temple to worship in the Zhou State Mansion, even if it was the Empress Wu, it was not convenient to ask.

But now, he quietly sent Wu Yuanshuang and Wu Yuanqing's Fu tablets to the Great Ci'en Temple to worship, which is very taboo.

Especially the taboo of the martial queen.

Therefore, Wu Chengsi could only go to the Tianzhu monk to help him take care of him.

This kind of thing, when Empress Wu saw that Wu Chengsi was in contact with kindness and no regrets, she already knew it in her heart.

It was clear that it was clear, but the anger in his heart rose up.

Wu Chengsi lowered his head slightly, but then, he raised his head and asked extremely vigilantly: "Queen of Heaven, can the minister know what happened?" ”

"Di Qing, tell him." Empress Wu waved his sleeves, turned sideways and stopped looking at Wu Chenghei.

Di Renjie immediately turned around and arched his hand and said: "Zhou Guogong, at six o'clock today, the master of the Great Ci'en Temple was found dead in the guest house of the Ci'en Temple. ”

"Master Good Without Regrets is dead?" Wu Chenghe's eyes were suddenly full of horror, and he looked at a loss.

Di Renjie looked at Wu Chenghei and asked, "Zhou Guogong, do you really not know anything about the major events that happened in the Great Ci'en Temple today?" ”

Wu Chengsi finally regained his composure, his face was full of wry smiles, and he said casually: "After bidding farewell to Master Shanwu Wu, this official left the Great Ci'en Temple and went to Qujiangchi, he was confused and wandered around at will, I really didn't expect that Master Shanwu regrets would be harmed by someone, it is really ......"

After a pause, Wu Chengsi continued: "Master Shan Wuregret was born in Tianzhu, and he has a unique understanding of Buddhism, which forgives people's body and mind, and solves people's doubts, so he ...... No, you called me to suspect me...... No, why...... Queen of Heaven, this matter is not the minister's doing, the master of good and unrepentant is kind to the minister, how can the minister do this beast thing. ”

Wu Chengsi finally reacted now, and this time, the emperor and Empress Wu called him here because they suspected that he had killed Master Shanwu.

Wu Chengsi knelt directly on the ground with a "poof", and then knelt down in a deep voice, his whole body panicked.

A figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

This person is his cousin Helan Minzhi.

"In this way, you don't know about the king of Nanchang?" Empress Wu leaned forward and stared at Wu Chenghei with fierce eyes.

Wu Chengsi looked up in amazement, looked at Li Xuan, and asked, "Did something happen to King Nanchang in the back?" ”

Li Xuan looked at Wu Chenghe, who was at a loss, looked at him deeply, lowered his head and thought cautiously.

Does this really have nothing to do with Wu Chenghe, or does he really know how to act?

Li Zhi opened his mouth at this time, looked at Di Renjie, Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan, and asked with a cold face: "Di Qing, Ming Qing, King of Nanchang, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Di Renjie took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, according to the ministers, this matter has little to do with the secretary and supervisor. What kind of person is the secretary and supervisor, if he really wants to kill someone, he will not be so clumsy at all, and before he has completely left, he will be suspected of murder...... The minister carefully inspected the scene, the murderer was calm, not angry, and the knife technique was accurate and sharp, although the secretary and supervisor had some cultivation, but killing people was probably not his forte. ”

Li Zhi nodded, then looked at Li Xuan and asked, "King Nanchang, what do you think?" ”

Li Xuan turned to look at the emperor and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven, what Di Sicheng said is reasonable, and Zhou Guogong has always acted strictly and meticulously, and there are few omissions. Daci Temple is not an ordinary place, once something happens, Wannian County, Yongzhou Mansion, and even Dali Temple, Honglu Temple Qianniuwei will be alarmed. If you don't pay attention to it, you need to go to the palace to confront it, and the trouble is too big, so the minister concluded that this matter was not the work of the secretary and prison. ”

"Do you really think so?" Empress Wu suddenly interjected and looked at Li Xuan, staring at Li Xuan with her eyes dead.

Li Xuan interceded for Wu Chenghei again, but Empress Wu suddenly had some suspicions.

Li Xuan calmly arched his hand and said: "After returning to the heavens, the minister still knows Zhou Guogong, he is a person who has a deep city, not a person who does it rashly, and this matter is too similar today...... It's too much like someone has been staring at Zhou Guogong, and it seems that he is also staring at the minister, if it weren't for the fact that the minister has something else to do in the Great Ci'en Temple today, I'm afraid that even the minister will inevitably be involved. ”

Empress Wu nodded slightly, sighed lightly, turned her eyes to look at Wu Chenghei, and a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.

Li Zhi asked at this time: "Mingqing, what do you say?" ”

"Returning to Your Majesty, returning to the Queen of Heaven, what Di Sicheng and King Nanchang said is reasonable." Ming Chongyan bowed heavily, and said at the same time: "The minister chased the king of Nanchang to the Great Ci'en Temple, and later went to the guest house scene, but there, except for a knife to cut the throat, there is no other trace...... The queen of heaven, looking at Zhou Guogong's mood today, is not the one who can do this. ”

Li Zhi knocked lightly on the table, and said with a cold face: "No matter what, there is such a serious matter in the Great Ci'en Temple, and it needs to be investigated as soon as possible. ”

"Obey." Li Xuan, Ming Chongyan, and Di Renjie all agreed at the same time.

Li Zhi's eyes fell on Wu Chenghe's body, and he said in a soft voice: "Wu Qing, from today onwards, you have thought about it behind closed doors, when will this case be investigated, and you will go out again." ”

"Commandment." Wu Chengsi bowed down in a deep voice.
