Chapter 121 I can’t kill you

Wu Zetian gave the order, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and asked: "Yang Yanzhang, I want to ask you, did you feel anything unusual that night?"

When Yang Yanzhang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I didn't notice anything."

Wu Zetian frowned. She always felt that Yang Yanzhang was hiding something from her.

But since Yang Yanzhang didn't say anything, she couldn't continue to force him, otherwise it would arouse Yang Yanzhang's dissatisfaction.

"That's all, you should rest on this matter first, and then investigate slowly after you recover from your injuries." Wu Zetian waved his hand, signaling Yang Yanzhang to step back, then turned and left.

After Wu Zetian left, Yang Yanzhang's eyes flashed coldly, and he murmured in a low voice: "It seems that the Wang family is so desperate that they actually want to kill me. They really have the guts of a bear and a leopard. Don't blame me. It’s my fault that you provoked someone you shouldn’t have provoked.”

"Wait until I recover from my injuries. Then I can go to the court and see if I can kill you."

……

"Your Majesty, the assassin did leave a letter. Do you want to read it?"

In the imperial study, Di Renjie handed Wu Zetian a letter.

Wu Zetian opened the envelope and looked at it, her face suddenly became extremely angry, she crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it into the brazier to be burned.

"You bastard, it's so unreasonable, you're just going too far!"

Wu Zetian sat on the chair with a sigh of relief, her chest rising and falling violently.

Di Renjie stood aside quietly, not daring to interrupt.

Wu Zetian calmed down for a while, and then said coldly: "People in this palace dare to move. It seems that I have made their life too comfortable these years!"

What these aristocratic families didn't know was that it was their bold action that strengthened Wu Zetian's desire to reduce the vassal clan.

Now with Yang Yanzhang's help, Wu Zetian's prestige has reached its peak, and she is no longer the emperor who will be influenced by the family no matter what policies he issues.

What she decided could not be stopped even if those aristocratic families blocked it.

"If you pass the order, immediately send imperial envoys to various places to urge people to build roads and bridges. At the same time, send troops to help guard various checkpoints and not allow any thieves to break into the city." Wu Zetian snorted coldly: "In addition, order Di Renjie to investigate as soon as possible. Track the assassin and capture the murderer.”

"Yes!" Di Renjie responded.

……

"boom!"

"Bang!"

"Whoa!"

In the Wei family, Wei Yuanzong was furious. He threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, pointed at the people kneeling in front of him and cursed angrily.
Said: "Trash, trash! They are all a bunch of losers, and they actually let people escape, and they escaped right under their noses. What use do you have?"

"Father, the child made a mistake, please punish him." Wei Yuanji, the second young master of the Wei family, knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake.

In fact, he was also puzzled. How could he not kill Yang Yanzhang?This was the last thing he believed.

"Father, the child was watching the house collapse. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have survived."

Just as Wei Yuanji finished speaking, Wei Yuanzhong suddenly raised his leg and kicked Wei Yuanji directly on the chest.

Wei Yuanzhong's kick was not as lighthearted as usual. Wei Yuanji flew upside down several meters, then hit the wall and fell to the ground.

"Pfft!"

Wei Yuanji spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned extremely pale instantly. He struggled to get up, but in the end he failed to stand up, and then passed out.

Wei Yuanzong stared at Wei Yuanji and said with hatred: "You bastard, why did I give birth to a fool like you? If I had listened to my father's advice, now even if you and I don't control the Gyeonggi Guard, we can still control the Gyeonggi Guard." We can compete with the Wang family and the Pei family, now tell us, how are we going to fight with the Wang family and the Pei family?"

"Father, please calm down." Wei Yuanji's brother Wei Yuanfu hurriedly stepped forward to support Wei Yuanzhong and advised: "The most important thing we have to do now is to dispel the Queen Mother's suspicion." Wei Yuanzhong nodded, he was so angry just now , now that I have calmed down a little, I naturally understand that I have lost my composure.

However, he still gritted his teeth and shouted to the door: "Someone, send the second young master back."

Two maids outside the door came in, picked up Wei Yuanji and dragged him out.

"Hold on."

Wei Yuanzong waved his hand and said: "Take him down for treatment first."

After Wei Yuanji was taken away, Wei Yuanzong looked at Wei Yuanfu and said: "Second brother, I leave this matter to you. Remember, no news about this matter must be leaked, otherwise all the plans of our Wei family will be defeated." Thanks to the collapse."

"Don't worry, dad, the child understands the importance." Wei Yuanfu said solemnly.

Wei Yuanzong glanced at him, nodded, and said, "Father, I believe in you."

……

Today is the first day that Yang Yanzhang recovered from his injury and was able to get out of bed.

Although he was still limping when he walked, it was much better than the tragic situation when he was just thrown out from under the rubble.

"Wang family, if you feel numb if I don't participate today, my surname is not Chen!"

Yang Yanzhang said fiercely.

Although the assassination incident has not yet been fully investigated, he knows that the Wang family is the most suspect.

After all, based on his understanding of Wang Yun, people like Wang Yun would definitely not tolerate the death of his son, so this matter was most likely done by the Wang family.

And the Wang family is the one who has the deepest hatred against him. Who else could it be besides the Wang family?

So Yang Yanzhang hated the Wang family.

In the morning, Yang Yanzhang stood up directly.

"Queen Mother, I have someone here who wants to participate."

Seeing Yang Yanzhang standing up, Baiguan felt a chill in his heart.

Wu Zetian, who was sitting on the golden palace, became interested: "Oh? Who are you going to attend today?"

"Secretary of the Household Department, the king is dead!"

Yang Yanzhang said loudly.

"boom!"

As soon as these words came out, the court shook.

Everyone looked at Yang Yanzhang in surprise. They did not expect that Yang Yanzhang would make such a report in the court.

Yang Yanzhang looked at Wu Zetian, cupped his hands and said: "The Queen Mother, Wang Shilang is corrupt and perverts the law, preying on the common people. His crime is extremely evil."

Wu Zetian narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Yang Yanzhang, and said calmly: "Oh? Yang Aiqing, do you have any evidence?"

Yang Yanzhang said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother Qi, I have evidence that Shilang Wang accepted bribes."

As soon as Yang Yanzhang's words came out, all the civil and military officials whispered.

Wu Zetian looked at Yang Yanzhang with a gloomy expression and said: "Yang Aiqing, don't forget, you are just a censor. If you can't produce conclusive evidence, then even I will not be able to favor you."

Yang Yanzhang was not afraid at all and said: "Queen Mother, although I am just a sixth-grade county magistrate, I am an official of the imperial court and have the right to impeach the official of the imperial court. Besides, this Wang Can, as the minister of household affairs, not only does not seek the welfare of the people, but also He also indulged his younger brother Wang Shouren to cause harm to the village, bully men and women, take human life lightly, and spread rumors among the people to slander Zhongliang. Such a beast is not worthy of being a prime minister, let alone a minister of household affairs."
