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

Ma Rong was very considerate. Seeing that Li Cunxi was thinking about something, he did not disturb him and just stood aside waiting quietly.

After a while, Li Cunxi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked Ma Rong:

"Looking at how happy you are, this shouldn't be the only thing that's worth your happiness, right?"

Ma Rong took out a letter from his arms and placed it respectfully on the table in front of Li Cunxi.

"This is Tao Gan's reply, which includes the recent situation of Mr. Pei Rongxian and the Zhao Wanquan brothers. It is said that they are all included in it."

"When I went to Huaiyang to see Brother Longfeng off, Tao Gan had already arrived. I saw Mr. Pei Rongxian and Brother Zhao Wanquan there. Before I came back, Tao Gan asked me to give this letter to you, young master."

Li Cunxi was delighted after hearing this.

He had long expected Pei Rongxian's surrender. After all, Pei Rongxian was a man loyal to the Li Tang dynasty and was not someone who was content with the status quo.

In the original world, after his wife died of illness, this guy took his son and ran back to his hometown.

Later he was discovered by local authorities, given a severe beating, and then sent to the north for further exile.

In the place where he was exiled, this guy actually found ways to do business and developed his own power.

This kind of person who will not be content with the status quo will be grateful if you give him a little sunshine, let alone leading his entire family out of suffering.

As for Zhao Wanquan, he was a martial arts master who had been practicing since childhood and whom Li Cunxi met when he was following Di Renjie to solve cases in Pengze County.

Unfortunately, he was a gambler by nature, and before taking the Hu silk to trade, he lost all his capital and the Hu silk.

If it weren't for Li Cunxi's help, I'm afraid this man would have become a bandit.

In terms of martial arts skills, Zhao Wanquan is probably slightly better than Ma Rong who is unarmed.

If Ma Rong took his weapon, a single sword, it would not be easy for Zhao Wanquan to win.

After reading Tao Gan's letter, Li Cunxi immediately ground ink and picked up his pen to write back to Tao Gan.

After writing, Li Cunxi waited for it to dry, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Ma Rong, saying:

"I need you to make one more trip and give this letter to Tao Gan, and have him show it to those people."

"From now on, my influence in the Huaiyang region will be managed by Mr. Pei Rongxian and Long Feng. Tao Gan and Zhao Wanquan can just follow their instructions."

Ma Rong held the envelope, hesitated for a while, and finally asked:

"Sir, we are in Huaiyang. There are only four of us. Where does this power come from?"

Li Cunxi showed a kind smile: "It's not the quantity that matters, but the quality. A general's strengths are not his courage, but his strategy. Although we are few in number, we are not that far behind. All seven of us are capable people. Okay, go and have a rest, and we will leave the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, son."

"From today on, my subordinates are both civil and military."

Li Cunxi came to the window and pushed it open.

At the age of thirteen, he has a total of six people under his command, including one first-rate talent, one first-rate master, three second-rate masters, and Tao Gan, who is not outstanding in strength but has great courage.

The future is expected!

……

"The two countries have made an alliance and will never again face war!"

"Long live Long live Long live!"

Inside the Taiji Hall, a formalistic alliance ceremony was being held in full swing, giving people the feeling that it was just a formality.

Even though the emperor above and the ministers below all knew that this was just a formality and that the two sides would fight each other to pieces in a few years, they still would fight each other to pieces, so they just went through the motions.

Di Renjie, dressed in a thick formal suit, knelt in front of all the officials. On his left was Prince of Liang Wu Sansi, on his right was his good brother Zhang Jianzhi, and behind him were important officials of the court.

Outside the Taiji Hall, people were kneeling in four neat rows.

"Long live Long live Long live!"

After the alliance ceremony in the palace, Jili Khan and Wu Zetian had a meal together, accompanied by civil and military officials.

Standing behind Wu Zetian was still the First-Class Loyal and Brave Earl, the Thousand-Niu Guard General Hu Jinghui!

"This General Hu is a meritorious official in Youzhou, but he does not want to and is not qualified to sit at the same table with me."

Seeing this scene, Jili Khan was filled with sadness.

There are no capable ministers among the Turks, but there is the Great Zhou outside the Turks.

It’s hateful that all the ministers in the world have great abilities, but none of them join his Turkic tent.

Even if he didn't have capable people like Di Renjie and Wu Chengsi, having Li Cunxi would make him even more powerful. How could he be chased thousands of miles by his own subjects!

"What's wrong with you, Jili Khan? Can't you appreciate the dance of my Great Zhou?"

Noticing Jili Khan's dazed look out of the corner of her eye, Wu Zetian began to ask.

"Alas, there really is no shrewd and capable minister in the country who can help me solve my problems. But seeing that the Great Zhou has countless loyal ministers and generals, I really envy them."

Jili Khan was not shy and actually expressed his concerns seriously.

Wu Zetian smiled when she heard this and said, "Your country has many talented people, but my Great Zhou dare not be compared with your country."

Jili Khan let out a long sigh.

Are there so many talented people in the Turkic region?

Will anyone believe this when I say it?

Maybe there is, but it is absolutely impossible.

If there really was such a talented person among the Turks, they would not have fallen to this point.

Thinking of the uncle who died at his hands, he couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly:

"Your Majesty really overestimates our Turkic people. When it comes to talented and capable people, your country should be ranked first."

"I have heard that your country has four great ministers who are famous all over the world. Di Gong is the most capable one, and the King of Wei is the most important one in terms of status."

"I have seen the ability of Lord Di in Youzhou, and I have heard that the King of Wei is as capable as Lord Di. There are two prime ministers in the court to assist Your Majesty in handling state affairs. How can your country not be strong?"

"Even a genius like Mr. Li Cunxi, who is as bright and dazzling as a star, is only an eighth-rank official in your country."

"If I have the help of Master Cunxi, all officials in my country, no matter who they are, can be selected by Master."

It also ensures that the relationship between the two countries will not deteriorate because of a mere Li Cunxi.

So Jili Khan also began to feel regretful.

Besides, given Li Cunxi's status in the Great Zhou, he could die at any time, and Wu Zetian might not necessarily look down on him.

The most likely reason for appointing him as an eighth-rank official was to win over the people.

It would be even better if you could gain unexpected benefits through your words.

However, Wu Zetian suddenly burst into laughter and said:

"I didn't expect that Jili Khan actually thinks so highly of Li Cunxi. To be honest, I am training Li Cunxi to be Di Huaiying's successor, hahahahahaha!"

Jili Khan: (??? ? ???)

Wasn't it agreed that Li Cunxi would be in danger at any moment?

Didn’t we agree that you could be beheaded at any time and anywhere?

Wasn’t it agreed that the descendants of the Li Tang royal family would not have a good life in the Great Zhou?

Wu Zetian said it herself that she was training Li Cunxi to be Di Renjie's successor!

I want to dig out Li Cunxi, but what the hell!

"So he was considered as the successor of Di Gong... No wonder Cunxi is so intelligent at such a young age."
