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

Li Cunxi put down the towel and said with a smile: "You are my cousin, my relative. Ordinary people know that relatives should care for each other. How could I, Li Cunxi, not know?"

"What's more, His Majesty doesn't care about your life or death now. Among all the civil and military officials in the court, the only one who wants to kill you is probably Wu Sansi."

"But I hid you, and he couldn't find you."

Li Gui stood up, took a piece of cake and put it in his mouth to eat.

The emperor no longer cared about him, the son of the King of Yue who was still alive.

Why didn’t he care? Because the emperor didn’t even care about Crown Prince Li Xian.

Along the way, Li Cunxi told him what Wu Zetian said at the camp that day.

She, the emperor, chose a new crown prince for the Great Zhou who was capable of leading the Great Zhou to prosperity.

Who is this new prince?

It is Wu Chengsi, whose ambition cannot be taken away by the beauties of the Western Regions!

He is the King of Wei, feared by all the civil and military officials in the court!

He is also the strongest person in the Mesozoic era of the Wu family where Wu Zetian belongs!

King of Wei, Wu Chengsi!

"Oh, I regret it now."

Li Gui is quite regretful now. If he had not acted on impulse a year ago, Li Xian would not be facing the dilemma of being deposed now.

"Well, since that's the case, let's keep going."

“Maybe there will be a turnaround in the future.”

Li Cunxi came and sat next to Li Gui and started eating pastries.

He knew Li Gui's concerns, but the plot was too bad.

Now, Wu Sansi and Li Xian, together with Li Dan and Princess Taiping, these four people who are interested in the throne are no match for Wu Chengsi.

For a long time, many people have had a misunderstanding about Wu Chengsi, and even about the Great Zhou.

People who think that Wu Chengsi was incompetent generally do not recognize Wu Zetian's Zhou Dynasty.

They insisted that Wu Zetian was not an emperor but an empress dowager, and even most of the literati throughout the ages thought so.

For example, the authors of "Detective Dee", "Detective Dee in the Tang Dynasty" and some novels do not regard Wu Zetian's Great Zhou as a real country.

In their eyes, the Tang Dynasty was not cut off, but was renamed Wu Zhou at a certain period and then changed its name back.

And the emperor has always been a member of the Li family.

But that is not the case.

Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi were not that bad.

But there is indeed a big gap between Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi.

In the original history, Wu Chengsi was an outstanding person with extraordinary abilities and talents. He was also an expert at dealing with the Li family. However, he died of depression because he did not become the crown prince.

Wu Chengsi of this era was not like the Wu Chengsi in history who explicitly wanted to be the crown prince, but was extremely reserved.

That day, as he walked out of the emperor's residence, Li Cunxi congratulated Wu Chengsi while observing his expression.

A hint of excitement flashed across Wu Chengsi's eyes at that moment, and then he returned to his usual self.

It happened in the blink of an eye, but Li Cunxi saw it clearly. This shows that the King of Wei has the ambition to sit on the throne, but he has been hiding it.

The more fiercely the fight between Li's old ministers represented by Di Renjie and Wu Sansi's faction occurs, and the more mistakes the prince makes, the greater the chance that Wu Chengsi will become the prince by keeping a low profile and taking action in the future.

What's more, there is now Li Cunxi, a disciple of the King of Wei who is disowned by Li's old ministers, hated by Wu Sansi's faction, and the heir of the Li family who was persecuted by the emperor.

The chances of Wu Chengsi succeeding to the throne seem to be greater.

Li Guihao on the side sighed for a while, and finally said weakly:

"If the King of Wei becomes the crown prince, what will happen to the heirs of the Li family?"

"Judging from my mentor's attitude towards me, even if he succeeds to the throne..." Li Cunxi smiled wryly, "it will only bring benefits to the remaining descendants of the Li family."

"How did you know?"

"Master, your attitude towards me is like this, isn't it just to win over us exiles? The higher Wu Sansi jumps now, the more he will die when Master succeeds to the throne."

Li Gui closed his eyes, with an expression of agony on his face. After a long time, he opened his eyes and asked:

"If Wu Chengsi really becomes the emperor, will you avenge your family?"

Li Cunxi showed an intriguing expression: "Who are you looking for?"

"Wu Sansi." Li Gui said.

"If Master agrees, I will let Wu Sansi know how it feels to see his entire family hacked to death and him seeing it all."

"Although you still want revenge, Wu Chengsi has killed many people in our Li family after all."

"My mentor has treated me well... If there ever comes a day when the Li family and the Wu family go to war, if we can win, I am willing to protect his entire family."

"If I lose."

"I think my teacher is willing to protect me."

……

One night in Chang'an.

The curfew in Chang'an was lifted tonight, and Wu Chengsi was rarely interested in going out for fun.

A scholar in white and a gloomy-looking man followed behind, closely protecting the King of Wei... and his daughter.

The eight-year-old Wu Yuanhui was skipping and jumping. Born to a concubine, she was now fostered by the wife of the King of Wei and had the same mother as the King of Wei's eldest son, third son and eldest daughter.

Her mother passed away just two years after giving birth to her.

As for how she died, no one in the mansion knew, but Wu Chengsi cared for and loved this daughter more than any other child he had ever had.

Even the third son who gave birth to the eldest grandson was not as good as his daughter in front of him.

"King Wei, Tianjie is quite lively and crowded. It is too dangerous. Otherwise, we should..." the scholar in white said softly.

"Now that we're out, we should go wherever there's a lot of fun. It's rare for us to bring her out, so it's better to go somewhere lively."

Wu Chengsi lowered his head and looked at Wu Yuanhui who was jumping and dancing, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

Wu Chengsi, who always used his power to bully outsiders, was gentle for once and walked towards Tianjie holding Wu Yuanhui's hand.

The scholar in white, Lao Bai, took a step back, distanced himself from the three men, found a tourist, gave him a few instructions, and quickly caught up.

Soon, dozens of tourists poured into Tianjie. They were dressed differently, but they were heading towards Wu Chengsi intentionally or unintentionally.

"Lao Hei, let me ask you a question. After meeting Zezhou, do you have any feelings?"

"He is a weak man. I don't have much feeling towards him, but among his followers, there are two masters."

"How to say."

"Among the three followers, the one holding a book is very weak. Among the other two followers, one is not as good as me and Lao Bai, but is still stronger than the others in the mansion. The one with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, wearing pointed boots... is very strong."

"How strong?"

"The aura is very strong, giving me the feeling of a leader..."

Lao Hei half raised his head and suddenly said, "Three years ago when I was wandering around, I should have met this person once, but I can't remember where."

"Three years ago, do you mean when you were still a thief in Baihelin?"

"King Wei, please don't speak so loudly. I have finally settled down. I want to protect you."
