The joy that Zhao Liang's promotion brought to Di Fu soon dissipated, and Di Fu's life returned to peace.

In the middle of the night, Di Fu fell asleep up and down, and suddenly there was a quick knock on the door.

Bang bang, bang bang.

"Open the door, open the door. ”

Zhao Liang was meditating and practicing qi in the house, and he had already heard movement outside, heard a knock on the door, put on his clothes and pushed the door to go out.

Song Qingxue was also awakened, and when she saw that Zhao Liang had already gotten up, she sat up and asked, "Xianggong, what are you doing when you get up?"

"Lady, there's a knock on the door outside, I'll take a look. ”

Zhao Liang walked out of the house in his clothes and walked towards the gate of the mansion, where the little maid who had already guarded the door opened the door.

Gao Lishi walked in with a panicked expression, and after seeing Zhao Liang, he hurriedly said, "Master Di, come with our family, the emperor urgently summoned you." ”

Zhao Liangqi said, "The emperor summoned him all night, what's the urgency?"

"I don't have time to say, let's go, let's go. ”

"Don't worry, wait for me to change my clothes before leaving, it must be too reckless to meet the driver like this. ”

"Don't change it, it's too late, go quickly, go quickly. ”

Gao Lishi took Zhao Liang's hand and left, not giving him any chance to refute at all.

Zhao Liang didn't know what was going on, so Li Zhi was in such a hurry in the middle of the night to send Gao Lishi to find him.

In less than half an hour, Zhao Liang followed Gao Lishi to Li Zhi's dormitory, only to see that the entrance of the dormitory was densely packed with guards who were fighting with open flames, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

One of the captains of the guard shouted, "Stop, who are you?"

"Flash away, the queen mother urgently recruited Di Renjie, the young secretary of Dali Temple, into the palace. ”

When the captain of the guard heard this, he hurriedly got out of the way and let Di Renjie and Gao Lishi in, Zhao Liang muttered in his heart, I don't know what happened, but one thing is certain, that is, something big must have happened in the palace.

Gao Lishi announced loudly outside the hall, "Queen Qi, Di Renjie brought it." ”

"Let him come in quickly. ”

Zhao Liang entered the main hall and saw Wu Zetian sitting above the main hall, he arched his hand and said, "Weichen Di Renjie see the queen's mother." ”

"Di Renjie, do you know why I summoned you late at night?"

"Weichen is stupid, please make it clear to the queen. ”

"The emperor was assassinated tonight. ”

Zhao Liang was taken aback and asked, "Has the emperor ever been injured?"

"Slightly injured, but frightened and recuperating. ”

Zhao Liang asked again, "Have you ever caught an assassin?"

The Assassin's martial arts were extremely high, and he calmly left. ”

"Have you ever known the identity of the Assassin, or have anyone seen the true face of the Assassin? ”

"No one has seen the Assassin's true face. ”

"I don't know who is so bold as to enter the palace to assassinate the emperor?"

"This is exactly the question that this palace wants to ask, Luoyang, the eastern capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, someone is so rebellious, entering the palace to assassinate the emperor, in this way, isn't everyone in danger? Di Renjie, this palace wants you to solve the case quickly, and within five days, you must catch the real culprit, otherwise, your Dali Temple Shaoqing will not be a man. ”

Zhao Liang thought to himself, if it is not appropriate, it is not appropriate, Lao Tzu still doesn't want to be it, it happens that he is not an official and is light, and he can concentrate on cultivation.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zetian saw that Zhao Liang lowered his head and pondered silently, as if he had seen through his thoughts, sneered, and said, "Di Renjie, I know that you don't value fame and fortune, and the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple is not important to you. But you have to know that the shore of the land is not the king's land, and the people who lead the land are not the king's ministers, you can run, but your family can't run, don't think about anything else, it's best to solve the case wholeheartedly. ”

Zhao Liang listened to Wu Zetian's words, and was a little shocked, he didn't expect Wu Zetian to be able to understand people's hearts and see through his thoughts at a glance, but as Wu Zetian said, Zhao Liang could easily fly away, but his family couldn't run.

"Queen Mother, Weichen should do his best to arrest the real murderer. ”

"That's the best, go ahead, solve the case quickly. ”

"Queen Mother, Weichen still has something to ask for. ”

"You say. ”

"The assassin dared to enter the palace late at night to carry out assassinations, and he could enter and enter freely, so naturally there were people behind the scenes, and the common people and even the ministers of civil and military affairs, how could they have the courage to ask the queen for permission, so that it would be convenient to handle the case, otherwise, I am afraid that it would be difficult. ”

"Okay, this palace will give you this permission. Someone comes, bring up the dragon mace. ”

The guards beside Wu Zetian agreed, and the four guards struggled to carry out a large wooden box from the back of the hall, and when they arrived in front of Wu Zetian, they slammed it on the ground, and after opening the lid of the box, they saw a black blade inside.

Wu Zetian pointed to the blade and said, "Di Renjie, this Kang Long Gong is given to you, the top beats the unconscious king, the bottom beats the traitorous ministers, and the special affairs, seeing this Gong is like the emperor coming in person, you should be satisfied now, right?"

"It's okay, so-so. ”

When the guards next to him heard this, they couldn't help but sweat for Zhao Liang, no one had ever dared to speak in such a smooth tone in front of Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian also frowned when she heard Zhao Liang's words, but she did not blame Zhao Liang out loud.

Zhao Liang took out the dragon gong from the box, this mace looks like a stick, there is no blade, only a blunt tip and four edges that are not sharp, the stabbing is not as lethal as the sword, and it cannot be cut as light as a bladed sword, and the main technique is only to hit and smash vigorously.

The weight of the dragon gong is extremely heavy, and people who are not strong cannot use it freely, and the lethality is very considerable, even through the armor, it can stone people to death.

The weight of Kang Longgong was about the same as a burning stick in Zhao Liang's hand, Zhao Liang waved it twice in his hand, it looked extremely relaxed, and the wind brought up by Kang Long's dance whined.

Wu Zetian knew that this gong was made of dark iron, don't look at it as just a small mace, but it weighed more than 500 catties, for ordinary people, the weight was extremely heavy, and it couldn't be lifted at all, but Zhao Liang didn't seem to have any weight when he picked it up.

"Di Renjie, Kang Longgong has already given it to you, go and handle the case and arrest the assassin who assassinated the emperor. ”

"Yes, Weichen commanded. ”

Zhao Liang arched his hand, turned around and walked out of the main hall with the dragon gong, he held his head high, and strode towards the palace gate.

Along the way, Zhao Liang was pondering, who sent the assassin, and what purpose was the assassin assassinated, if he didn't guess wrong, this matter must have something to do with the royal family, and whoever is most beneficial to the emperor's death will have the greatest suspicion.

However, then again, this matter is certainly not that simple, and there may be someone in the middle, and it may be that they are deliberately framed.

Zhao Liang thought about it, and his head hurt a little when he thought about it, solving the case was more troublesome than cultivating.

The night wind hit, Zhao Liang took a deep breath, and felt that his brain was much clearer all of a sudden, but he still didn't have too many clues, he wanted to go back to Di Mansion first, and discuss it with Zeng Tai and Li Yuanfang, after all, the three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, not to mention that the three of them were not stinkers.
