Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Chapter 785: Fangzhou 6 Miles Urgent

The news of Lu Dayou getting married was well-known in Luoyang at the time and was widely spread.

A farmer who became a rising star in the court in just a few years married a 37-year-old wife at the age of .

Who can bear this.

It is said that many young masters who had fantasies about Qi Ke beat their chests and stamped their feet, not knowing where they had lost.

Speaking of Qi Ke, she is also a beautiful girl with some talent.

I still remember that year at Yufeng Pavilion outside Chang'an City, Zhang Yuan, the grandson of Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi, sent out invitations to many talented men and beautiful women to attend a party.

Li Cunxi and Wu Yanhao went together that time. They felt very awkward, with their minds full of sour words from literati and poets. Then they had a drink with Li Huaiyuan's grandson Li Guinian and parted ways.

It was not until Lu Dayou got married that Li Cunxi accidentally remembered that Qi Ke had also attended the party that year, but she was with the female relatives. The two of them had seen each other from afar across the bridge.

As time passed, Qi Ke, who was only fifteen years old at the time, became Lu Dayou's wife a few years later. It could be considered a fate.

"Brother Dayou, just be happy. On the day my sister-in-law got married, many noblemen in Luoyang were in great pain."

"It is said that some people are fighting for their land with their heads on their backs, and they can't understand why Brother Dayou, who is obviously inferior to them in everything except his official position, can still marry a beauty like my sister-in-law. Hahahahaha."

Wu Yanhao laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.

"Okay, okay, stop making fun of me."

"How can I compare to you two? You are so young and handsome. I am almost a cow."

Lu Dayou drank another glass.

"No, Yanhao, you're mocking me with your words, and Cunxi's eyes are mocking me, so I have to drink two more glasses."

"I can drink ten more cups, but I'll just finish this small jar and drink it slowly after we get to Jiayuju."

Wu Yanhao poured another glass for Lu Dayou, and the small jar of wine was almost empty.

"Good wine is never too good to drink."

He spat and put the small jar away.

The Di Mansion was not close to Jiayu Residence, so the three of them savored the green wine in their mouths carefully.

"It's so comfortable. I wish it could be like this every day."

Wu Yanhao smacked his lips, savoring the taste lingeringly.

At this moment, something unexpected happened. On the noisy street, a man on a fast horse came galloping over, shouting "Express delivery from Fangzhou, six hundred miles away!"

The expressions of the three people in the carriage also changed.

Leisure time will no longer exist after this express document arrives after traveling six hundred miles.

The three of them knew the truth, so there was no need for the emperor to send anyone to Jiayu Residence to look for them. They simply asked Qiao Tai to drive the carriage to the outside of Taichu Palace.

Needless to say, the speed of the six hundred li express was so fast that the officer who shouted "Six hundred li express from Fangzhou" was knocked to the ground by the speeding carriage after turning a corner. He vomited blood and fell to the ground, but he still took out the six hundred li express document and handed it to the coachman who wanted to step forward and scold him for being blind.

When the coachman saw the flag on the guy, he was scared out of his wits and asked the young man who dared to drive a horse-drawn carriage in Luoyang to get off.

The young man's face changed drastically. He no longer cared about pretending to be cool and just put the six hundred miles express bag on himself.

"Don't worry, I will definitely deliver this document to His Majesty!"

After saying this, he let go of the horse, climbed on it, and without caring about the possibility of his thighs being rubbed raw, he shouted "Go!" and headed straight for Taichu Palace.

Qiao Tai, who had just caught up, saw this scene and immediately told Li Cunxi and the other two. After the three of them lifted the curtain, they were not in a hurry to catch up. After revealing their identities, they ordered the coachman of the young man to take the messenger to the clinic for treatment.

"Six hundred miles in a hurry, what do you think it could be?"

Back in the carriage, Li Cunxi's curiosity got the better of him.

Unfortunately, Wu Yanhao and Lu Dayou had no prior information, so naturally they didn't know what the urgent message of six hundred miles was about.

But this did not prevent several people from starting to speculate.

After all, in a tiny place like Fangzhou, if anyone could send something big to Luoyang in an expedited manner over 600 miles, the only one would be Prince Li Dan.

"No, what do you think? Did something happen to Prince Li Dan?"

Wu Yanhao frowned, keenly aware that some crisis was approaching them.

However, this sense of crisis was not very strong, as if it did not pose any threat to his life.

"Since Prince Xiang arrived in Fangzhou, he has been under the care of many veteran officials and generals. What kind of things could possibly happen?"

Li Cunxi refuted Wu Yanhao and expressed his sincere admiration for Li Tang's old ministers and generals.

Most of this group of old ministers and generals were elderly people left over from the Taizong and Gaozong eras. Because they were unwilling to work for the Great Zhou, they later spontaneously gathered in Fangzhou to spend their remaining years.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing for the court.

First, if these people rebelled, they could quickly raise an army just in Fangzhou, and many of them were veteran generals. The combat effectiveness of this army should not be underestimated.

Moreover, there are a large number of civil servants among them. If everyone empties their family savings, supporting the army will definitely not be a problem.

After talking about the first disadvantage, let’s talk about the second advantage.

Since the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, Wu Zetian has been extremely wary of these old ministers and generals of the Li Tang Dynasty.

But these people are unwilling to work for her. Otherwise, there would be several more prime ministers in the court. Moreover, these people gathered together, which is a big hidden danger. If they start a rebellion, she will have a headache.

Therefore, Wu Zetian had always intended to send Li Dan, the King of Generals, to Fangzhou to tempt these old ministers and generals to support Li Dan in rebelling. As long as these people really rebelled, their death would not be far away.

Do you really think that the Left and Right Dragon Guards and the Left and Right Guards are stationed in Luozhou and outside the capital to deal with internal unrest?

She was just guarding against Fangzhou. As long as the old ministers and generals in Fangzhou dared to make trouble, Wu Zetian would kill them without hesitation and she would have no worries from then on.

It's just that these people are too useless. Prince Li Dan asked to be demoted to Fangzhou for several years, and these old ministers and generals were unable to persuade him to rebel.

"Cunxi, you said..."

Wu Yanhao, like Li Cunxi, remembered this.

"Do you think it's possible that Prince Li Dan has raised an army in Fangzhou?"

"Fangzhou is a land of veteran officials and generals, and every family is wealthy. If the Prince of Xiang were to rebel, it might be possible for him to attack the center."

Of course, Li Cunxi didn't know the answer to this question.

After all, they haven't caught up with the 600-mile express yet.

However, Li Cunxi does not agree with this conjecture.

From the moment Prince Li Dan decided to request exile to Fangzhou, he had lost the qualifications to be emperor.

He has been in Fangzhou for a few years. Could it be that he wants to be emperor again?

"That's strange."

Li Cunxi stroked his chin and suddenly thought of someone, an emperor who died too late and whose reputation was ruined!

Li Sanlang!

"You weren't the one who really coerced your father into starting a rebellion, were you?"
