Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

"Fan Xin, you are still alive!" Li Yuanjia's expression suddenly changed when he saw the visitor, and he said in disbelief.

That day he saw with his own eyes that Fan Xin stayed in the room and was burned alive with Wu Zetian. How could he appear here?

Looking at Li Yuanjia with a gloomy face, Fan Xin said calmly.

"Thanks to you, I and the Queen Mother escaped before the fire burned."

"What! The Queen Mother is back alive too?"

When they heard that Wu Zetian was still alive, the royal family surnamed Li were all shocked, and then a boundless fear crept into their hearts.

Wu Zetian was cruel and ruthless. If she came back, wouldn't everyone in the palace die?

Seeing everyone's expressions, Fan Xin sighed.

"To be honest, the Queen Mother has returned to the palace a long time ago. If you want to save your life, it's too late to stop now."

"Otherwise it will be too late."

Li Yuanjia was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed loudly and pointed at Fan Xindao mockingly.

"Boy, don't even think about scaring me. My people are everywhere inside and outside the palace. What can you do to save the situation?"

Seeing that Li Yuanjia was not aware that he was about to die, Fan Xin shook his head and shouted at the side door.

"I respectfully ask the Queen Mother to come out and take charge of the overall situation!"

After the words fell, the palace door opened, and thousands of majestic guards rushed in and surrounded the inner guards and officials.

Then, surrounded by Shangguan Wan'er and the generals of the Wei army, Wu Zetian climbed onto the platform and sat on the dragon chair, looking down at Li Yuanjia majestically with her phoenix eyes.

"King Han, who said that all the people in the palace are arrogant? Please tell me and let me listen."

"This……"

Seeing Wu Zetian appear alive in front of him, Li Yuanjia felt extremely guilty. He wiped his sweat and said sarcastically.

"Your Majesty, what I just said was angry. Don't take it to heart."

"What are you saying in anger?" Wu Zetian sneered: "When you burned the camp in Shifuling, I saw that you didn't hesitate at all. You were very decisive."

As soon as these heart-wrenching words came out, Li Yuanjia was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and said with a pale face.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged. The dead men are all Huang Shengyan's people and have nothing to do with me."

"I am also being kept in the dark..."

"That's enough!" Seeing that Li Yuanjia was still trying to quibble when her plan was exposed, Wu Zetian slapped the armrest and shouted coldly.

"Li Yuanjia, do you really think that I don't know that the Hanguang Temple coup was planned by you and Li Lingkui?"

"In the past, I thought you were from the lineage of the Great Ancestor and I didn't hold you accountable."

"You are going to intensify your efforts and try to kill me!"

Speaking of this, Wu Zetian said with murderous intent.

"Come here! Lock up all the royal family named Li such as Han Wang Li Yuanjia, Lu Wang Li Lingkui, Huo Wang Li Yuangui, Ji Wang Li Shen, Jiangdu Wang Li Xu, Dongguan County Duke Li Rong, Princess Chang Le and other royal family members in Dali Temple!"

"The ministers of his party will be handed over to Zhou Xinglai Junchen!"

Hearing his name, Lai Junchen was about to step forward to take the order, but he didn't want Zhou Xing to kneel on the ground before him.

Upon seeing this, Lai Junchen's eyes flashed with murderous intent and he knelt beside him.

Soon, a group of vicious officials broke into the main hall of Shangyang Palace, tied a heavy weight weighing more than 100 kilograms on the members of the party named Li, and took them to the Magistrate's Court like animals.

After solving the serious problem, Wu Zetian's eyes fell on Huang Shengyan.

"As the leader of the inner guard, you are collaborating with the traitors. Tell me, how do you want to die?"

Hearing this, Huang Shengyan chuckled: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If I lose, I will naturally die."

"But there is still something I want to say to you before I die."

"speak!"

"Wu Zetian, your hands are stained with the blood of people surnamed Li. Only death can wash away your sins!"

"We failed this time. The next time will come soon. Just wait and die!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jing's face changed drastically and she immediately jumped up and thrust the sword into Huang Shengyan's throat.

Then he turned around and knelt on the ground and said in panic: "Queen Mother, as a minister of the Imperial Guard, something like this happened to me, and I deserve death. Please punish me!"

"Huh, of course you are guilty when the inner guard made such a big mistake. From now on, you will be relieved of all your duties and imprisoned in Dali Temple. Dou Ying will be in charge of the inner guard mansion!"

Signaling the guards to take Xiao Jing down, Wu Zetian smiled at Fan Xin and said.

"Fan Qing, I owe you a great deal for being able to survive the crisis safely this time."

"Go home and rest for a few days. The imperial court will then commend you after the traitors are eradicated."

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Fan Xin straightened up and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, there are hundreds of important prisoners imprisoned in Dali Temple. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to go back and rest at this time?"

"There's nothing wrong. You can go back and have a good rest for a while, and leave other matters to Xie Siqing to handle."

Having said that, Fan Xin already understood Wu Zetian's intention and could only say goodbye and leave the palace.

Looking at his back, Di Renjie said: "I thought you would let Fan Xin be responsible for trying the rebellion case of Li, but I didn't expect that you would send him home to live in peace and happiness."

Wu Zetian glanced at him and said calmly: "This son has a strong and loyal character. I cannot let his hands be stained with blood and sin."

"It's better to leave the matter of murder and grudges to Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen."

"The Queen Mother loves Fan Xin so much, which really makes me envious." Di Renjie sighed with emotion...

This night was destined to be a sleepless night. The streets were full of people from the Magistrate's Court and the Internal Guard. Many people even had their noses pierced by iron rings while they were sleeping and were brought back to the Magistrate's Court.

For a moment, everyone in Luoyang was in panic, fearing that these vicious and cruel officials would break into their homes.

Just when everyone was panicking, Fan Xinze and Liu Zi were sitting at the stone table eating braised noodles.

Beside them, a fat middle-aged woman said with a smile.

"Master, what do you think of the old lady's braised noodles?"

Fan Xin took two mouthfuls of noodles, put down the bowl and said with satisfaction.

"Yes, your hand-rolled noodles are so chewy and the meat marinade is delicious. It would be better if you put some courgette shreds and coriander leaves in it."

After being praised by Fan Xin, the middle-aged woman smiled and bowed.

"Don't worry, sir, I promise to make your meal well."

"Okay, you go ahead and cook, don't worry about me."

"I know." The middle-aged woman responded with a cheerful smile, swung her butt and walked away.

Liu Zi said with a sad face.

"Master, after all you are a high-ranking official of the fourth rank, so what are you trying to do by replacing your charming little maid with an old woman?"

"What else can I do? Of course I want to save money. I have eighty maids and three hundred guards. Master, I can't even afford it if I demolish the house and sell the land."

"It's not like Feng's mother only pays 80 cents a month. You can't find anything so cheap even with a lantern."

Just as the master and servant were discussing how to do some small business to improve their lives, a tall figure walked into the yard surrounded by officers and soldiers.

"I thought it was something that tasted so fragrant. It turned out to be the authentic Youzhou Braised Noodles. It seems like you're in for a treat today."

After saying this, the young man appeared in front of Fan Xin and said with a smile.

"Brother Fan, we meet again."
