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

After returning to the Di Mansion, Qiao Tai handed both bags of cakes to Li Cunxi, and then told him that his old friend was coming to Beijing and he wanted to go and keep his old brother company.

Li Cunxi, who had just returned to the desk and opened the oil-paper bag, stopped what he was doing and took out some silver.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

Qiao Tai knew that the silver must be for him, so he quickly stepped back.

Li Cunxi chased after him and forced himself into Qiao Tai's arms.

"Since it is an old friend who has come, how can we not treat him well? You, who went to drink wine as soon as you had money, must be short of money now."

"Just use this money. No need to be polite to me. Just spend some time with your friend. Stay outside tonight and choose a better inn."

Qiao Tai felt the weight of the silver in his arms, bowed to Li Cunxi, and left the villa with gratitude.

After leaving Di Mansion, Qiao Tai confidently pulled Chen Yiqiu and found an inn not far from Di Mansion.

"Home Inn? This is the one." Qiao Tai looked around and decided on this inn.

"Brother Qiao Tai, this place doesn't look cheap at all. Let's just forget it and find another one..." Chen Yiqiu said, gently pulling Qiao Tai's sleeve.

"Hey, let's go. I am no longer the same as I was before. I am very rich now!"

Qiao Tai dragged Chen Yiqu into Home Inn by force.

After booking a room on the second floor of the inn, Qiao Tai ordered a whole table of fine food and wine, and the two of them began to chat while drinking.

Chen Yiqiu talked about his experiences over the years and drank one cup after another.

"By the way, weren't you in Huaiyang before? What are you doing in the capital this time?" Qiao Tai asked after filling Chen Yiqiu's glass.

"Don't mention it. There is a group called Iron Hands in Huaiyang area. They found me secretly and told me to join the group and do something big together. They also told me to be the leader of the third hall of the Iron Hands."

Qiao Tai's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Yiqiu, you said that the Iron Hand Group secretly found you and asked you to be the leader of the third hall of the Iron Hand Group?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?" Chen Yiqu was puzzled. "They also said that if I joined the Iron Hand Group, they would change my name to Qi Hai. I didn't like it, so I left Huaiyang and came to Chang'an, ready to go north."

"Why are you going north? I will take you to see my master tomorrow. Why are you going north?"

……

The morning light is dim in the east.

Li Cunxi got up from the couch, washed himself briefly, and ate some cakes with his hair down.

Thinking that today would be another day to continue teaching Lu Dayou to read, Li Cunxi came to the study early and saw Lu Dayou sitting inside reading a book.

Lu Dayou, who was holding "Thousand Character Classic" a few days ago, has now started reading "The Analects of Confucius".

"Wow, you're quite diligent, Dayou. You've even taken a fancy to The Analects. That's awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome."

Li Cunxi walked into the study, sat down, picked up a copy of "Huangdi Neijing" and began to read.

"You got up really early, young master."

"It's better if you were earlier."

"Young Master still wakes up early."

After a brief greeting, Lu Dayou went back to reading "The Analects of Confucius".

Not long after, Qiao Tai came back and looked at Li Cunxi from outside the door with an inexplicable smile.

Noticing Qiao Tai's strange behavior, Li Cunxi put down the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" in his hand, stood up and walked out of the study.

"What's wrong? You have such a weird expression."

"Sir, I have something good to tell you. It's like this, like this, like this..."

Qiao Tai leaned close to Li Cunxi's ear and told him about the conversation he had with his good brother Chen Yiqu last night.

After listening to this, Li Cunxi also revealed a very strange smile.

"Atai, you did a great job. Now go and invite Chen Zhuangshi to come over to me right now."

Qiao Tai clasped his fists, left the yard and walked out of the Di Mansion, bringing in Chen Yiqiu, who was eating spring rolls on the street.

As soon as they met, Chen Yiqiu, with a spring roll in his mouth, fell to his knees.

"Chen Yiqu has met you, sir. I am willing to go through fire and water for you, even if it means anything!"

Li Cunxi stretched out his hands to help Chen Yiqu up, and then took another look at the spring rolls that fell to the ground because of his speech, and couldn't help laughing:

"Mr. Chen, you are indeed a handsome man with an imposing manner!"

Chen Yiqu looked at Chun Juan eagerly and said reluctantly:

"Ah, my spring rolls... No, sir, I heard that following you, you can have enough food, build a house, and get married?"

Li Cunxi took out some silver from his bosom and stuffed it into Chen Yiqiu's hand.

"It's just a small gift, not a sign of respect. Mr. Chen, please take it and buy some wine and food."

Chen Yiqiu lowered his head and took a look. This money was enough to buy more than just some food and drinks. Even if it was enough to go to a restaurant, it could be spent several times.

He put the silver in his arms, bowed to Li Cunxi and said:

"Sir, please accept my greeting. I will follow your lead. Wherever your whip points, my sword will point!"

Li Cunxi was very satisfied after hearing this, and supported Chen Yi and said, "Since Chen Zhuangshi is willing to serve me, you should know that my identity is extremely special. I need Zhuangshi to do me a big favor."

"Master, please speak."

"The warrior was once recruited by the Iron Hand Group in Yangzhou. You should know that this organization has existed for many years, but unfortunately it was once crippled. It was only rebuilt by Ying Wang Yuanqi two years ago. Now it is in urgent need of a large number of experts."

"Master, do you mean..."

"you know me?"

"Sir, I am willing to be your undercover agent in the Iron Hand Group."

"Very good, wait for me here, I will assign you a task." Li Cunxi glanced at Qiao Tai who was still watching the show, "Go and get some food for Chen Zhuangshi."

After giving the instructions, Li Cunxi returned to his study, picked up his inkstone and wrote.

Not long after, a letter appeared again.

On the stone table in the yard outside the door, Qiao Taizheng and Chen Yiqu were eating cakes with big mouthfuls.

"Yiqiu, take this letter to Yangzhou tomorrow and look for a man named Tao Gan at the Xi Ze Bank in Yangzhou City."

"When you find the man named Tao Gan, you will immediately give him this letter. He will naturally tell you what you should do next."

Li Cunxi handed the letter to Chen Yiqiu and said earnestly.

"I have just joined you and have not had a close relationship with you yet, but you have entrusted me with such an important mission. You really trust me too much. Even if I die a hundred times, I will never be able to repay you for your kindness!"

As Chen Yiqiu spoke, his eyes became moist.

"Okay, just rest in the city tonight. I'll have some wine with you, and you can go to Yangzhou tomorrow."

Qiao Tai winked at Li Cunxi, and then spoke to Chen Yiqiu.

"Okay, let's go." Chen Yiqiu wiped his eyes, put away the envelope, and left with Qiao Tai.

Half a cup of tea later, Qiao Tai returned to the yard alone.

As soon as I came in, I saw Li Cunxi sitting on a stone bench, holding his chin with one hand and looking at the falling leaves.

"Son."

"Back?" Li Cunxi narrowed his eyes. "This Chen Yiqu should be reliable, right?"

"This is my brother of many years. He is absolutely reliable."

"Once we get to Yangzhou, we'll know whether it's reliable or not."
