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

The gloomy-faced old black man suddenly turned red.

The Baihelin case was the case he was most reluctant to mention in his life.

Nineteen second-rate masters joined together and killed more than a thousand people, including a thousand government troops.

They took away all the treasures of the Lizhou governor who was on his way to take office, and killed many people. After dividing the spoils, they left and went to the ends of the earth.

At that time, in order to avoid discovering their identities, everyone lowered their voices so that their companions would not hear their real voices.

After living happily for half a year, Lao Hei gambled away all his money. In order to make a living, he went to the Prince of Wei's palace to apply for a guard.

As the personal bodyguard of King Wu Chengsi of Wei, Lao Hei is most reluctant to mention Bai Helin.

"Okay, then I won't mention it, to prevent someone with ulterior motives from hearing it and the government troops from coming to my Prince Wei's mansion to demand someone."

Wu Chengsi bought some pastries from a peddler and handed them to Wu Yuanhui.

"Be good, eat slowly."

"King Wei, Lao Hei is quite powerful. The person who can make Lao Hei feel this way must be a bad person." Lao Bai said from the side.

"He is my disciple anyway. The stronger he is, the safer I will be, and the position of the crown prince will be more stable."

"What the King of Wei said is true... But I always have a feeling that I should have known that person named Ma Rong and spent some time with him. But I can't remember when I saw this face before... Or I have never seen this face before, and this person gives me a very familiar feeling, as if we have been together before."

Lao Hei frowned, thinking about Ma Rong's face and that person.

It seems like I have seen it, but it also seems like I haven’t seen it.

As to whether he had seen it or not, Lao Hei didn't know.

Does it matter whether you have seen it or not? At least Lao Hei thinks it matters.

It would be really sad if he had met someone who was most likely his old friend but pretended not to have met him.

He has never had two old friends in his life. If Ma Rong, who is quite capable, is his old friend, then he will have one more friend. When they are old, they can be hunted down by their enemies together. This is also fun...

"Old Black, what are you thinking about?"

Wu Chengsi stopped and looked at Lao Hei, who had a perverted smile on his face.

Living together for the past few years, Wu Chengsi has always seen Lao Hei with a stern face, but he has never seen such a weird Lao Hei.

"King Wei, it's okay. I'm happy. We'll be at Tianjie just around the corner. I haven't been out for a long time, so I don't know what it's like outside."

The four people walked forward and turned right, and the bustling Tianjie was right in front of them.

The vendors had not yet closed their stalls, and Wu Chengsi led Wu Yuanhui and continued forward.

"Do you know why I brought you out? Haha, I'm not here for fun. I just want to think in a different place."

"Your Majesty's position as crown prince is uncertain, and the crown prince is about to be deposed."

"Cunxi made it clear that day that he would support me, and I want to fight for it too."

"But the old ministers of the Li family are still here. If Wu Sansi sees me fighting for the throne, he will definitely make things difficult for me."

"I'm telling you two warriors this, but you won't understand anyway. I'm just looking for someone to talk to. I hate that I don't have a close friend to say this to."

Wu Chengsi suddenly let out a long sigh.

He had quite a few students and former officials under his command, but he suppressed them all. No one fanned the flames or advised him to participate in the fight for the position of crown prince. Over the years, they all worked diligently and for the people.

However, as long as he showed the intention to compete for the position of crown prince, his disciples would raise the banner for him without hesitation and fight with him.

But fighting for the throne now is not a good thing. There are three major factions in the court. If he goes, he will definitely be besieged.

Nowadays, there are internal strife in the court, powerful enemies outside, and anti-military forces in the opposition.

Wu Chengsi was considering whether or not to enter this vortex of internal strife.

It’s done, he will immediately become the new crown prince.

Lost...hard to say.

"If the King of Wei is so undecided, why not wait until Master Cunxi returns to Chang'an and talk to him about it?" Lao Bai reminded, "The Crown Prince has been confined for a full year."

"It's only been a year, and now the court has already begun..."

Wu Chengsi looked up at the sky, sighed deeply, and said:

"Zhang Jianzhi, Huan Yanfan, Cui Xuanwei, Jing Hui, Yuan Xingchong, Li Duozuo and others from the prince's party have already quarreled with members of Wu Sansi's party."

"Princess Taiping's faction and Li Dan's faction are still waiting and watching. Di Huaiying, one of Li's old ministers, is still in the court. Your Majesty's inner guards suddenly disappeared after the Huzhou case. However, as long as the army is still under your Majesty's control, no one can turn the tables."

"As for me...except for Sansi, all the officials in my family support me. Some officials in the court are my people. As for the Li family...I have Cunxi, the representative of the persecuted heir of the Li family, which is enough."

"Although Di Huaiying is loyal to your majesty, he is an old minister of the Li family. He probably hopes that your majesty will still be in the Li family."

"Oh, it's so hard to squeeze in!"

Wu Chengsi sighed again.

He has the ambition to seize the throne, but cannot participate in it.

I still remember that in the past, Wu Zetian wanted to depose Crown Prince Li Xian and make a son of the Wu family the crown prince. The ministers advised her against it, saying that he had no legal right of succession.

However, when it comes to who the emperor wants to appoint as the crown prince, the ministers are only qualified to advise but not to make the final decision.

In the end, Wu Chengsi could not withstand the pressure from his ministers. Fearing a rebellion by Li's old ministers who held military power, he advised the emperor not to depose the crown prince. Only then did he give up.

"Forget it. It's not the right time after all."

"Just fight, just fight, fight to the death, it would be best if it turns into a complete mess!"

……

The next day.

The city of Yangzhou is bustling with people.

At Xize Bank, Li Cunxi looked at Pei Rongxian and said, "Sir, I leave my cousin to you. You must take good care of him."

"Don't worry, sir." Pei Junxian clasped his fists and said, "You saved me from Lingnan and found the best doctor to nurse my wife back to health. I am so grateful. From now on, this life belongs to you. I, Pei Junxian, am willing to go through fire and water for you, no matter what it takes!"

"You don't need to go through fire and water, you'd better do your best for me, I will definitely benefit from you in the future."

"Thank you, sir."

Li Cunxi turned to Li Gui, who was reluctant to leave, and went forward to hug his few relatives.

"Cousin, live well, there will always be a day when the night ends and the day dawns!"

"I believe in you. You must make a name for yourself!"

Li Cunxi couldn't stay too long, so after saying goodbye, he went out and left Xize Bank in a carriage.

I went all the way back to Home Inn, got off the carriage quickly and returned to my room.

After waiting for more than an hour, Long Feng and Chen Yiqu put down their teacups, stood up and called out:

"Son."

Li Cunxi pointed at the chairs and said, "Everyone, sit down. You guys are here quite early. Did something happen inside the Iron Hand Group?"
