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

After reading the first two lines, Pei Rongxian felt as if he was struck by lightning.

Li Zezhou?

Li Cunxi?

Are these two people actually the same person?

"Mr. Pei is eleven years older than me, so I smugly call him my elder brother.

Brother Xian, you must have been very confused when you saw my follower, right? You and I have never met before, and you don't even know that I have changed my name to Li Cunxi, so why would I send someone to find Brother Xian from afar?

This question is actually very easy to answer, because my brother Xian was a loyal minister of the Li Tang Dynasty. He was banished to the miasma-filled area of ​​Lingnan for the sake of the Li Tang Dynasty.

Cunxi is determined to restore the legitimate Li Tang dynasty. When he heard that his elder brother was only eleven years old, he had already taken up the position of Minister of the Imperial Household, and that he was indeed a rare talent, he intended to find his elder brother to work together for great things!

Surely, Brother Xianxian would not want to live in that endless miasma for this life, eternity, and for his descendants, right?

……

That’s all I have to say. I hope you can think about it seriously. If you are willing to leave Lingnan and work with me to achieve great things, then you can go to Huaiyang with my close companion Dang Tao Gan.

Cunxi's base camp is in Huaiyang. By then, Brother Xian will be in charge of Cunxi's subordinates, and there will be no need to worry about whether there will be enough food tomorrow.

When the letter arrives, please reply as soon as possible. I hope you will do your best to help me!"

Pei Rong first put the letter away, looked at Tao Gan, and asked:

"I have a wife and a son here. If it's a long and bumpy journey, I'm afraid..."

Tao Gan knew at a glance that Pei Rongxian definitely wanted to leave, and hurriedly said:

"If I had known that Mr. Pei would leave with me, I would have packed up my luggage and belongings and followed me out of here. It's only five or six miles away, and there is a carriage arranged nearby. If it weren't for the difficulty in entering here, I would have ordered someone to drive the carriage in."

Pei Rong nodded heavily, went back to the room, and asked the thin woman to change the child's clothes quickly, while he packed some clothes.

The woman wiped the child's hands clean, changed her clothes, and did not ask Pei Rong what he wanted to do. She just followed Pei Rong out.

Tao Gan led the horse over and said, "Madam, please get on the horse. Although the journey is not far, it is not easy to walk along the way. It is inconvenient to carry a child."

"Thank you, Mr. Tao. Madam, give me the child and get on the horse first."

Pei Jun first held the child and urged the woman to mount the horse. The woman climbed onto the horse and held the child up.

Tao Gan led the horse, Pei Rong walked on the side, and several people walked towards the way Tao Gan came.

Not long after they walked, Pei Xianxian couldn't help but ask:

"Mr. Tao, how did your son know that I was in Lingnan? It's incredible that he could find my exact location."

Tao Gan laughed and said, "My young master has the power of divine calculations and ghosts. I really don't know about this kind of thing. Mr. Pei can ask my young master in the future."

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect that Master Zezhou has already... No, it should be Master Cunxi. When did Master Cunxi change his name?"

"I don't know the exact time, but it was probably after the Yue King's Rebellion, when the lineage of Duke Huang was wrongly framed and exiled."

"Oh? Could it be that Master Cunxi changed his name during his exile?"

"My young master said that this is probably the case. He was saved by Di Renjie, the old man Di."

……

Jili Khan's road to restoring his country was exceptionally smooth. Just a few days after Li Cunxi returned, good news was reported back from the border.

On October 26, the news reached the capital. Li Cunxi heard that Di Renjie had not only returned to Youzhou, but had even visited Daliushu Village.

What can Di Renjie do in Daliushu Village?

The natural thing to do is to ask Zhang Laosi, hoping to get some clues.

If Zhang Laosi really gave Li Cunxi and Hu Jinghui away, Di Renjie would probably have no choice but to swallow his anger.

On October 31st, Di Renjie and Jili Khan were about to rush to the capital.

For the first time in history, Prince of Wei, Wu Chengsi, attended court with the four great prime ministers. Wu Zetian was grinning from ear to ear, and she thought she was about to take control of the overall situation. From then on, no one dared to disobey her.

As a result, the next day, Wu Zetian held an early court meeting to welcome Jili Khan, but Wu Chengsi continued to sleep in bed and did not go to court at all, which made Wu Zetian depressed for a while.

Outside, there were drums and gongs and a lot of noise to welcome Di Renjie and Jili Khan to the capital, but Li Cunxi had no intention of going out to watch.

Ma Rong, who rushed back from Hedong, took a sip of tea and went to Li Cunxi's room with a letter.

"You're back so soon. You're very efficient."

Li Cunxi put down the "Analects of Confucius" in his hand and sighed.

"It's hard for me to calm down. I don't know if my uncle has gotten anything out of Zhang Laosi."

"Since you can't calm down, the news I brought back to you will definitely make you even more restless."

"tell me the story?"

"Brother Longfeng and I went to Hedong on the orders of the young master, and indeed we heard that the Wei family of Hedong was going to marry the Wang family of Taiyuan."

"Which young master is it?"

"Wei Zi of the Wei family! Although this boy is from a noble family, he is really not a good person. It is right for Miss Wang to not want to get married."

Li Cunxi reopened "The Analects" and read more than ten sentences in his mind in one breath. Only then did his restless heart calm down a little.

"After that, what did you and Long Feng do?"

"Brother Longfeng and I went to scout the area and found that this guy loves to visit brothels, so we waited for a while and killed him." A rare perverted expression appeared on Ma Rong's face.

In the past, Ma Rong always appeared as Li Cunxi's close follower, a man of both civil and military talents.

He had never shown such an incredible expression before.

This expression is really hard to describe, it's like...

It was as if he had castrated the person himself.

"What kind of useless are you talking about?"

Ma Rong whispered a few words into Li Cunxi's ear.

After hearing this, Li Cunxi immediately clamped his legs together.

Seeing his young master's intense reaction, Ma Rong quickly stepped aside and said with lowered eyes:

"Don't blame me, sir. I was just..."

Li Cunxi waved his hand and said:

"Well done, just don't use it on me and my friends, your son. You can castrate me however you want."

Ma Rong smiled evilly: "Yes!"

Li Cunxi leaned back and couldn't help but think of the Hedong Wei family.

In the original world, this family had come to an end during the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Although they were the family of Wei Qing and Wei Zifu, they could not escape the cycle of history.

Although the Hedong Wei family in this world escaped the decline during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, at this time, they can no longer be included in the Five Surnames and Seven Families, and can only try to marry up.

Even though Wei Zi is not very capable, he is still the eldest son of the Wei family and will inherit the family business sooner or later. It's a pity that after he is crippled... the position of the head of the family will probably go to his younger brother.
