Wu Chengsi passed through the Zichen Gate, walked around the corridor of the Zichen Hall, and came to the apse and bedroom.
In addition to the palace maids and guards, there were also a handsome young man and a girl with bright eyes and white teeth standing outside the door.
Through memory, Wu Chengsi learned that the girl was the famous Princess Taiping in history. After looking at the girl twice, he turned to the young man and said, "Fifth brother, thank you for your hard work."
"My family, why would you say such a thing?" Wu Youji said with a smile.
"Second cousin, I also contributed a lot this time, won't you thank me?" Princess Taiping said.
"Of course I want to thank you! But I am still anxious to see my aunt. If I can survive this time, I will go to your house to say thank you someday!" After saying that, Wu Chengsi followed the female officer into the palace.
In the dormitory, Wu Mei was seen lying on her side on the couch, with several palace maids serving her. After seeing Wu Chengsi come in, she waved her hand and said, "All of you, get out."
All the maids responded in unison and filed out.
Wu Chengsi looked up and saw that Wu Zetian had slender eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a beautiful nose and cherry lips. She was over forty, but her skin was like snow, and she still looked young and beautiful. No wonder Li Shimin and his son were so fascinated by her.
Just as he was admiring the Queen's face, a thunderous voice sounded: "Kneel down before me!"
This voice is full of unparalleled momentum. As a Buddhist delivery person, Wu Chengsi has excellent psychological quality and is not intimidated by her!
However, if you want to survive in this world in the future, you will have to rely on the Queen to protect you, and you have to give her face. He knelt down, lowered his head and said, "Aunt... Aunt, my nephew has realized his mistake!"
Wu Mei walked up to him, raised her hand and slapped him.
Wu Chengsi was so angry that he stood up and fired his bow left and right, then punched and kicked the queen to the ground!
All the above are based on imagination.
There was a snap, and she was slapped on the face. Fortunately, Wu Mei finally withdrew her strength, so it didn't hurt too much.
"You evil beast, you did such an outrageous thing, and you still asked others to investigate, you have completely lost the face of the Wu clan!" Wu Mei scolded angrily.
"Aunt, I didn't kill that woman!" Wu Chengsi shouted loudly.
Wu Mei glanced at him coldly, walked to the desk, threw a bloody book at him, and said: "I don't want to listen to your nonsense. Why did you say that someone wants to kill you and silence you?"
The bloody book fell to the ground, and it read "Someone wants to kill me and silence me, please help my aunt!" There were more than a dozen big characters written on it.
Wu Chengsi said cautiously: "Aunt, this afternoon, a strange woman suddenly broke into the prison and wanted to kill me. Isn't this a silence?"
"You have nothing to say, so how can you tell any secrets?" Wu Mei sneered.
Wu Chengsi had already thought of his words before he came, and replied: "Aunt, have you ever thought about it, if my nephew really wanted to kill that woman, why did he lock the door? He stayed alone inside. Didn't he tell others clearly that I was the one who killed him?
People?"
Wu Mei had always been suspicious, and after hearing what he said made some sense, she muttered: "It was Di Renjie who accused you, are you saying he is harming you?"
"It's not Di Renjie. He wouldn't do this as a person. There is someone else who framed my nephew!"
"If Di Renjie hadn't harmed you, then everything he said would be true?" Wu Meifeng narrowed her eyes.
"It should be true." Wu Chengsi replied.
Wu Mei scolded angrily: "If what he said is true, the door was locked before he entered, and there was no one else inside. Besides you, who else could be the murderer?"
"That Buddhist hall is very big. Maybe there are some secret passages hidden in other places!" Wu Chengsi defended.
"I will send people to check. If there are no such agencies, then you are lying to me!" Wu Mei's voice turned cold.
"That could also be suicide!" Wu Chengsi's desire for survival exploded.
"She was a cultivator, so good. Why did she commit suicide?" Wu Mei said angrily.
"Maybe someone deliberately used this method to instigate her to harm me!"
"I sent someone to check the body, and the conclusion was the same as Di Renjie's. The woman's wound was on her back and the entrance was very deep. She couldn't have committed suicide!" Wu Mei's expression became colder and colder.
Wu Chengsi was stunned for a moment and struggled: "It may not be possible with hands, but maybe there are other ways!"
"Is there any other way?" Wu Mei sneered.
"For example, insert the dagger upside down in the ice, then stand on a chair or table, and drop it with your back on the ground, so that the dagger can penetrate deeply into the back!"
Wu Mei blinked. She didn't expect that he could come up with such a way. After thinking for a moment, she asked: "If this is true, there should be a chair next to the body. And even if the death time is longer and the ice melts, there will be some on the ground."
Water, was there water on the ground when you woke up? Was there a table and chairs next to the body?"
"None of them! But my nephew just raised such a possibility. Doesn't a possibility like this exist?" Wu Chengsi asked rhetorically.
Wu Mei stared at him for a moment, narrowed her eyes and said, "Chengsi, after going to the prison, your thinking has become sharper?"
Wu Chengsi secretly cried out, Wu Zetian seemed to doubt him, he thought quickly and said hurriedly: "My aunt and nephew are about to be framed to death by others. If I don't think about it too much, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to think about it in the future!"
Wu Mei raised her eyebrows and said: "You are my nephew. If someone really wronged you, I will never let you die unjustly. But if you dare to lie to me..."
"If my nephew deceives his aunt, he will be struck by thunder from heaven and he will die badly!"
People in this era have not completely gotten rid of superstition. After hearing Wu Chengsi make such a vicious oath, Wu Mei believed him even more and said: "I will send people to Baiyun Nunnery to investigate again. As for you killing ten members of the Zheng family,
I will also take care of the matter for you, but..."
"What about killing the Zheng family?" Wu Chengsi was startled and hurriedly interrupted.
Wu Mei frowned, picked up another piece of paper on the desk, and threw it over: "Read it yourself."
Wu Chengsi hurriedly picked up the paper and read it quickly. The more he read, the more frightened he became, because what was described above was really a tragedy.
The paper said: There was a family named Zheng in Chang'an City. Three generations of the family were engaged in business. The head of this generation wanted to go further, so he sent his son to an academy to study, and his eldest daughter to the Duke of Zhou's mansion to be a maid.
With her outstanding appearance, the eldest daughter won the favor of Duke Zhou and allowed her to be his concubine.
However, one day, the eldest daughter never returned home. The Zheng family went to the Duke's Mansion to inquire, but they said that the eldest daughter had been running away for many days. If the Duke had not been soft-hearted, he would have reported it to the Yamen.
Later, after a painstaking search, the Zheng family found out that their eldest daughter had been killed by the Duke's Mansion. The second daughter went to Jingzhao Mansion to file a complaint, but was beaten and thrown out.
The day after the complaint was made, the Zheng family left the capital. Unexpectedly, they were robbed by bandits on the way. Only the third daughter managed to escape, and the other dozen or so people were all killed!
After Di Renjie's investigation, it was found that the mastermind behind all this was Zhou Guogong Wu Chengsi!
If Wu Chengsi had not read Wu Chengsi’s memory, he might really believe that he did it. However, judging from the memory, Wu Chengsi knew nothing about the matter and was indeed wrongly accused!
"Aunt! My nephew has never killed anyone in the Zheng family. Someone is framing my nephew!" he said hurriedly.
Wu Mei was silent for a moment and said calmly:
"Chengsi, you have to know that if the Zheng family's affairs are exposed and public resentment boils over, it will not only be your fault. So whether you killed the person or not, this matter must be covered up."
Wu Chengsi felt a chill in his heart. The person in front of him, whether in history or in Wu Chengsi's memory, was a woman who marched on blood.
Trying to persuade her to be kind will not only be useless, but will also be met with cruelty by her.
Wu Chengsi's thoughts turned sharply and said: "Aunt, according to what my nephew has seen, the people behind the scenes have done things so outrageously that people are resentful, and maybe they are targeting you, aunt. If we let it go, maybe a more serious situation will happen next time!
"
Wu Mei remained silent.
"We can investigate this matter secretly and find out the people behind the scenes. Only in this way can we eliminate the hidden dangers!" Wu Chengsi continued to persuade.
"You really didn't do it?" Wu Mei stared at her with deep eyes.
"Really not!" Wu Chengsi showed a sincere expression.
Wu Mei stood up and walked back and forth in the room. After a long time, she turned to stare at Wu Chengsi and said word by word: "I can wait for another three days for Dali Temple to investigate. If you can't prove your story by then,
For the sake of the reputation of the Wu clan, I have no choice but to get rid of all the relevant people. By then, your Zhou Guogong and Dali Temple Shaoqing will no longer be in charge, and I will send you to Lingnan!"
Damn it, this future queen is really vicious. No matter how much she pleads for mercy, it will probably be useless. All she can do now is find a way to save herself!
"Thank you aunt, but my nephew hopes to investigate in person within these three days to prove his innocence!"
Wu Mei frowned and said: "You don't know how to investigate the case. You should just stay at the Duke's Mansion for these three days. I will send capable people to investigate!"
"My nephew is not going to investigate the case, but to supervise. After all, there are only three days. If they don't pay attention, wouldn't my nephew die unjustly?" Wu Chengsi pleaded.
Wu Mei stared at him for a long time, her eyes softened, and she sighed: "Forget it, tomorrow the Imperial Palace will send a decree to the Ministry of Punishment and ask them to assist you in handling the case."
"My nephew doesn't want help from the Ministry of Justice, I only need one person to help me!" Wu Chengsi said hurriedly.
