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

Chapter 14 I Want You to Raise Your Head

The high and mighty Emperor Wu was not yet His Majesty ten years ago.

When Emperor Wu was still Empress Wu, the Li clan rebellion occurred.

The rebellion of King Li Zhen of Yue implicated a large number of members of the Li clan!

Li Cunxi's father was Li Ai, Duke of Huang.

It was because he was implicated in Li Zhen's rebellion, and a villain was instructed by Wu Sansi to go to Beijing to make false accusations, that the lineage of Duke Huang was almost extinct!

Li Cunxi survived for ten years and knew long ago that if Wu Zetian wanted his life, Di Renjie would not have hidden him before he was exiled.

It is better to tell the truth than to deny it to death.

At least, the effect was obvious, and Li Cunxi heard laughter.

Wu Zetian was smiling, and her smile was very casual.

"Really? Then whose criminal's child are you? And what crime did your father commit?"

"In reply to your Majesty, Cunxi's father was the traitor who plotted rebellion during the rebellion of Yue Wang Li Zhen, Duke Huang Li Ai!"

I silently said to myself, Dad, don’t blame me, you are already dead in this world anyway.

Don't mind if I scold you a few times just to save my life.

"Really? Then do you know what your father did?"

Wu Zetian asked with a smile.

"Cunxi doesn't know."

Li Cunxi almost pressed his forehead against the cold ground.

The ground of Ganlu Temple is really cold, but it is not as cold as Li Cunxi's heart.

The Emperor Wu in front of him seemed kind, but in fact, every question he asked was life-threatening.

"Lift your head. You are a child of the Li family. I want you to lift your head!"

"Look me straight in the eye and tell me, do you know or not?"

Wu Zetian suddenly frowned and her tone dropped several degrees.

Li Cunxi trembled all over, and then he raised his head tremblingly. His body, which was kneeling on the ground, was shaking without rhythm. It was the emotional change brought about by extreme fear...

There was fear in his eyes, and finally he looked at the person who should be called grandma in terms of relationship.

Of course, he doesn’t have that qualification now, he can only call that person “Your Majesty”!

"Cunxi, panic!"

As soon as they looked at each other, Li Cunxi quickly knelt down with his forehead on the ground, trembling all over, as if he was completely consumed by fear.

"Don't you know?"

Wu Zetian still looked at Li Cunxi. She could clearly sense how frightened the other party was.

The other party is afraid. What is he afraid of?

Of course they were afraid of her, afraid of her, the emperor of the time.

"I told you to hold your head up!"

"You are the heir of the Li family. How can you face an elder like me like this?"

"Am I really that scary?"

Li Cunxi said loudly:

"Cunxi is terrified!"

Finally, his fear seemed to be lessened a little, and he looked up again tremblingly at the only female emperor in history.

What a wise emperor he was.

"His Majesty."

Li Cunxi seemed to have just seen the emperor's face clearly, and his whole body was shaking like a sieve.

"I'll ask you one last time, do you know what your father did?"

"Cunxi knows that Your Majesty is begging for mercy. What I know now is indeed nothing more than that. When my father was plotting rebellion, Cunxi was only three years old. How could I know what my father did back then?"

Li Cunxi was in tears and looked like the descendant of a traitor.

"Is that so? Since you don't know what your father did back then, then just don't know. God is merciful and I will naturally not harm someone's relatives."

So far, Wu Zetian has been very satisfied with Li Cunxi's answers.

At this moment, she also released a trace of kindness.

Since Li Ai was so sensible later, it was worth it for her to spare his life back then.

"I have lived for many years and I am grateful for your majesty's grace. I am deeply terrified to be summoned by your majesty today."

"I know you have been wandering outside for many years. I heard that Huaiying brought you back to Beijing, so I wanted to meet you. Unfortunately, criminals are rampant and Huaiying's whereabouts are still unknown."

"Your Majesty, my uncle was summoned away by the Qianniu Guards in the capital last night. If Your Majesty has any news, please inform Cunxi. Your uncle has taken good care of you over the years. If anything happens to your uncle, Cunxi will be plunged into grief for the rest of his life..."

Li Cunxi's voice was choked with sobs before he finished speaking.

Whether it was an act or a true expression of his feelings, he now indeed looked like he was missing his family.

"There's just no news about Huaiying. Maybe he'll be back in a few days."

Wu Zetian had just finished speaking.

The eunuch played by the extra emperor is here.

"Your Majesty, the King of Wei and the King of Liang request an audience."

Wu Zetian raised the corners of her mouth.

"Call him in."

"Yes."

The young eunuch left on tiptoe, his small steps making a "da da da" sound on the ground.

This sound was like a death knell, hitting Li Cunxi's heart again and again.

King Wu Chengsi of Wei!

King Liang Wu Sansi!

The Li clan was destroyed by these two people and only one tenth of them survived!

Especially Liang Wang Wu Sansi, who is said to be the murderer of Li Cunxi's father!

I had fantasized about meeting these two people countless times, especially the scene of meeting Wu Sansi, but today's scene was not included.

Li Cunxi didn't know whether he could maintain his current state of mind when he saw Wu Sansi with his own eyes.

"Since the two princes have arrived, Cunxi..."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Zetian interrupted him.

"No need, just watch here, Cunxi."

"Cunxi understands."

Soon, two middle-aged men in gorgeous clothes walked in with square steps.

The leader walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, with a resolute face and a serious expression. When he raised his head and chest out, his gaze was like a sharp sword piercing Li Cunxi!

It hurts, it hurts so much!

The man behind looked a little ugly. Although he was a king, he really did not have the demeanor of a king.

Although both of them were walking in the Four Square Step, this one's walking in the Four Square Step seemed too deliberate, as if he was trying hard to take every step well, and was demanding that every step be standard like someone who was learning to walk in Handan.

His excessive effort made his Four Square Steps start well but end badly.

He had a wretched appearance and his figure was not as good as the one in front of him. There was a flicker in his eyes and no one knew what he was planning.

"Chengsi, think twice, you are here."

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

They both bowed together.

"Cunxi, the one in front is the King of Wei, and the one behind is the King of Liang, why don't you greet them?"

Seeing that Li Cunxi didn't look back, Wu Zetian reminded him.

"Cunxi understands."

Li Cunxi took a deep breath.

He turned around and met the gaze of Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi.

These two princes of the current dynasty, the princes of the Wu family, one has an outstanding appearance and the other has a wretched appearance.

If Wu Zetian had not reminded him in advance, Li Cunxi would have almost thought that the one with outstanding appearance was Wu Sansi.

"Li Cunxi, the descendant of a guilty minister, pays respect to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei and His Royal Highness the Prince of Liang!"

Wu Chengsi suddenly frowned.

The person I have been investigating for so many years now appears before my eyes.

"You are Li Cunxi, the eighth son of Li Ai, Duke of Huang?"

"In reply to your Highness the Prince of Wei, Cunxi is the eighth son of the guilty minister Li Ai."

Li Cunxi bowed all the way.

You can ask as much as you want. If I don’t agree with you, all the grievances I have endured over the years will be in vain!
