Regarding Di Renjie's analysis and judgment, the viper said nothing and did not comment, but his head hung lowered. Obviously, he agreed with Di Renjie's statement!

After several fights, Li Yuanfang had long had doubts about whether the viper was Hu Jinghui. However, when the truth was revealed so clearly, he still felt unbelievable. Everyone could be a spy, but Hu Jinghui was a spy and it was hard for him to accept. He couldn't help but say what he thought: "Sir, is he really Hu Jinghui? I would rather believe that he is not. Hu Jinghui is a favorite minister and beloved general around the emperor. How could he do such a rebellious thing! If allowed, I would rather believe that I am a spy than Hu Jinghui is a spy!"

After hearing what Li Yuanfang said, the viper was ashamed, and the face behind the mask swelled into pig liver. He finally spoke, and his voice was filled with sobs in shame: "I am so sorry for the wrong love between Lord Li and Brother Li. I am so sorry. If you know my true identity, you wouldn't think so. In fact, my surname is Mang."

"Name for Python?" Di Renjie heard this, a look of thought and curiosity appeared in his round eyes. He twisted his beard with his hands, walked for two steps, suddenly turned around and looked at the viper, and asked excitedly, "Then you must be a descendant of the exiled royal relative?"

"Yes. I am really well-informed. I am the nephew of Queen Wang who was killed by Wu Niku." The viper admitted calmly, with a strong hatred for Wu Zetian in his tone.

"Oh, I understand!" Di Renjie suddenly realized.

Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu were both chopped up by the emperor and threw them into the sanitary pond. They died in a very cruel way. Their tribe members were either executed or exiled. The exiled were changed to very ugly beast surnames. It can be said that the hatred of the Wang family and the Xiao family for the emperor was greater than that of the Li Tang family. Their close relatives were all right to take revenge, which is understandable.

"Since you hate the emperor so much, and you often appear by the emperor, and you have many opportunities to take revenge, why do you never take action? Instead, you always take action to protect the emperor when danger comes to the emperor?" Li Yuanfang asked in confusion.

"Oh, it's a long story..." Hu Jinghui sighed. He told him in a loud voice that they wanted to take Wu Zetian's world, so he temporarily kept her life, let her guard the country and finally regain the jade.

"Regain the perfect jade? In other words, the manipulator behind you is the royal family of the Li Tang Dynasty?"

"I can't say this, Di Gong should kill me."

Di Renjie did not kill Hu Jinghui, nor even unbuttoned his mask, but let him go and retired to the mountains and forests, and no longer became enemies with the court. He also smiled and said, "I will report to the emperor that during the investigation of the case, Hu Jinghui fought with the criminals, sacrificed his life for his country, and stayed in Youzhou forever."

"Di Gong's great kindness, I can only repay you in the next life." Hu Jinghui kowtowed three times to Di Renjie, and then floated away.

Shangyang Palace.

"What, Xiao Qingfang escaped with more than 100 inner guards?"

After hearing the reports from Zhang Lin and others, Wu Zetian was stunned. So Xiao Qingfang is really the head of the snake spirit? For so many years, Xiao Qingfang has lurked in front of her and gained her trust and value. If she had any evil behavior, wouldn't she be done? Fortunately, Xiao Qingfang is in charge of the inner guard, not the Yulin guard, nor the imperial guard, otherwise her situation would be even more dangerous. Thinking of this, a chill and fear arose in her heart, and she was even more angry.

After a while, Wu Zetian, in fear and anger, opened the letter left by Xiao Qingfang and read it quickly.

When Wu Zetian was reading the letter, Zhang Lin looked around and next to the dragon case, where Shangguan Wan'er had stood, stood at the harem maid Guan Chunxiang.

After Wu Zetian confines Shangguan Wan'er, he cannot be without anyone around him, so he lets Chunxiang serve as the attendant of Shangshu and temporarily replace Shangguan Wan'er's position. Chunxiang gets his wish and replaces Shangguan Wan'er's position with the emperor, but with an important edict, Wu Zetian still asks Chunxiang to go to Shanggong Bureau and asks Shangguan Wan'er to draft it.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your trust and cultivation in me, which has led me to jump from an ordinary female official to the leader of the inner guard and mastered the elite guards known as spies.

"While recruiting the inner guards, I secretly founded the Snake Spirit. You and me have a deep hatred. As for what hatred, you will know it. Although I wish I could eat you and sleep with you, and I had at least ten chances to take your life, I overcame my personal hatred because we have a bigger goal, which is to seize the country and change the dynasty.

"Currently, there are more than 200 members of the snake spirit, all of whom are elites of the inner guards. I originally wanted to break with you publicly when my wings were fuller. However, the situation has changed a little. Recently, the members of the snake spirit have been repeatedly arrested, and the snake spirit is at risk of being exposed at any time. Therefore, I decided to evacuate the capital of God and grow and grow in a wider world.

"I hope the emperor will show his talents and work hard to govern the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then transfer the whole world and return the land to the emperor!"

"Reverse it!" After reading this arrogant and arrogant letter, Wu Zetian was so angry that she trembled all over and her lips trembled.

"Prince, please calm down." Wu Chang stepped forward and comforted her warmly, "Xiao Qingfang is so ruthless that she deserves to die! Fortunately, she was keenly noticed by the Ji County man before she had done anything wrong, and then she stopped and withdrew from the palace. If Xiao Qingfang had not withdrawn in advance, but was afraid of being exposed when we checked our tattoos, she was afraid that she would be exposed and resisted. At that time, she had controlled more than 200 elite inner guards, and it would probably not be so easy to subdue. A large-scale bloody battle would probably occur. Therefore, I feel that Xiao Qingfang's leadership of the troops to withdraw was a blessing for both the emperor and the court."

"It's reasonable." Wu Zetian's eyes lit up after hearing this and nodded slightly. Indeed, just now she was very afraid, thought about all kinds of losses, and thought about the failure to capture Xiao Qingfang, and did not think deeply about the benefits of this result.

There is no benefit in this incident of Xiao Qingfang leading his troops to escape, but it avoids bleeding and a big fight. This is a benefit. If you think about it carefully, the benefits are not only here. Whether the tiger sleeping soundly on the side of the couch is driven away or left on its own, this is an indescribable benefit!

"Where did Xiao Qingfang escape?" Wu Zetian was very concerned about Xiao Qingfang's whereabouts, because this group of snake spirits rebelled not only against the king, but was extremely hateful. They had too many top secrets in their hands. This was a big problem, and it might even be a timely explosive that could cause chaos at any time. It must be wiped out and eliminated.

"Emperor, I am not aware of Xiao Qingfang's escape. However, I have captured four remnants of snake spirits. The emperor might as well ask someone to interrogate them, and perhaps the whereabouts of Xiao Qingfang may be found." Zhang Lin bowed and reported.

"Catch four snake spirits to rebel? Let me see their tattoos." Wu Zetian's eyes lit up after hearing this and said hurriedly. She was full of curiosity about Zhang Lin's serpentine tattoos that she had mentioned many times. Although she had seen the waist card, she still saw the tattoos on the real person's body with her own eyes.

"Your Majesty, these four people are all fierce people. If you hurt the emperor, it would be a bad idea. We also killed more than ten snake spirits and rebels. It would be enough to look at the snake-shaped tattoos and their bodies." Zhang Lin suggested.

"It's reasonable!" Wu Zetian nodded.

Wu Chang ordered people to carry a dead snake spirit corpse in, and asked Wu Zetian to check the snake-shaped tattoo with his own eyes, and then carried it out again.

Seeing the snake-shaped tattoo and plum blossom tattoo coexist on the members of the snake spirit, Wu Zetian felt very uncomfortable, his eyes showed anger, and said in pain: "Oh, the inner guard that I have spent years of hard work is completely ruined, and my years of hard work has been wasted."
