Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team
Chapter 145 Leaving Yangzhou and Encountering a Tuyao
Two and a half years ago, Li Cunxi decided to establish a base camp in Huaiyang.
He established his base in Huaiyang, fundamentally for Longfeng and Wohuzhuang.
If two first-rate masters join, Li Cunxi's team will be extremely powerful.
Looking at the entire world view of Detective Di Renjie, there are only a few masters in the wild.
Hasnul was taken away early, Yun Gu joined the Iron Hand Group, and Long Feng's identity was unknown. Li Cunxi still looked for Long Feng with a fluke mentality.
For example, second-rate masters such as Ma Rong, Qiao Tai, Li Feixiong, and Zhao Wanquan, or first-rate masters who have lived in seclusion among the people, their whereabouts are unknown in the original work.
As for now, these people are basically in a state of having a master.
The only thing Li Cunxi knew was that Li Feixiong, a second-rate master who lived as a bandit in Taihang Mountain, was also Ma Rong's beloved relative, brother, and secretly was actually Wu Chengsi's sent-out disciple.
Long before accepting Ma Rong, Li Cunxi had already set his sights on Li Feixiong.
Among the Baihelin thieves, Li Feixiong, a man of considerable strength, was good at wielding a Guan Gong broadsword. After the Baihelin case, he was caught by a bounty hunter and was finally rescued by Wu Chengsi's guard.
After that, Li Feixiong disappeared. More than half a year ago, bandits rose up in Taihang Mountains, and the leader of the bandits was named Li Feixiong.
Li Cunxi knew that Wu Chengsi must have planned it, and his plan was not small.
For Li Cunxi, whose power is in Huaiyang, the most urgent task is to continue to develop.
Although the Xize Bank under his command is not small, it is still not enough to compete with any force. To put it bluntly, it is just an ant with some money and can be crushed to death at any time.
"My lord, are you worried about something?"
Long Feng smiled and poured a cup of tea for Li Cunxi.
"I am a little anxious... I will be returning to Beijing soon. You guys have to handle the situation in Huaiyang well and make sure nothing serious happens."
Li Cunxi rubbed his temples and put aside the thoughts in his mind.
"Don't worry, sir. Huaiyang has me. I, Long Feng, will never let anyone take advantage of Xize Bank."
Long Feng patted his chest and made the assurance. Having been promoted to deputy sect leader, he was full of confidence.
Even if Yuan Qi said he wanted to do something to Xize Bank, he had ten thousand reasons to persuade Yuan Qi to act like a coward and not do anything.
"With you here, I feel relieved. The political situation is treacherous, I need to return to Chang'an as soon as possible."
"Now the Crown Prince's party and the Liang Wang's party should be quarreling with each other; the Li family's old ministers who are like my uncle and work for Your Majesty, and the loyal emperor party are still watching; the Li Dan party and the Princess Taiping party are ready to make a move; the mentor's party is still forbearing; the Li family's descendants are watching from the other side; the exiles are secretly watching the fight; the Snake Spirits are secretly doing things."
"My uncle has not returned to the court yet. He must be afraid that the prince's party will invite him to sign a petition to protect the prince."
"And I am the key to breaking the deadlock!"
"As long as I enter Chang'an, all forces will definitely pay attention to my movements!"
Li Cunxi half lowered his head, with a flash of madness in his eyes.
Now his identity is extremely special.
He is not only the heir of the Li family, the descendant of exiles, and the younger brother of Shan Ling, but also a minister of Your Majesty, the nephew of Di Gong, and a disciple of King Wei.
No matter who Li Cunxi stands on the side of, it will have a huge impact on others.
Except for the snake spirit group.
The Snake Spirit can basically be renamed "Cun Xi Happy Spirit".
The political situation was not particularly clear to begin with. It would be even more interesting if Wu Zetian promoted Li Cunxi after returning to power.
Of course, that was after returning to the court.
Li Cunxi took a sip of tea and said calmly:
"News came from Luoyang that the Taichu Palace was completed ahead of schedule. I'm afraid it won't be long before His Majesty announces the relocation of the capital to Luoyang in the spring of next year and designates Luoyang as the capital."
"When the time comes, all the civil and military officials and aristocratic families will move east. I am the nephew of Lord Di, the disciple of the King of Wei, the heir of the Li clan, and the descendant of the exiles. I will inevitably accompany the king."
"When the time comes, if you want to look for me again, just go to Luoyang and look for me."
Long Feng and Chen Yiqu nodded and said in unison: "Understood!"
……
Chang'an City.
The end of November.
The world was in desolation.
Li Cunxi was riding in a carriage passing by the earthen kiln where Liu Jin was imprisoned a few months ago. He ordered Ma Rong to stop the carriage and get off to check.
This was the first time he came to this place. He only remembered that two months ago, Liu Jin was rescued by Hu Jinghui here. After a night in Jiangzhang County, the thief with a Youzhou accent gave Di Renjie another opportunity to investigate the case.
After everyone got together, they set off on a journey to Youzhou.
"Sir, I'll go see if there's any danger."
Qiao Tai picked up a broken branch from the ground and approached the earthen kiln cautiously, stepping on the yellow autumn leaves and wood that had been burnt long ago.
Qiao Tai just stepped on the wood and it broke in the middle, with pieces of charcoal rolling to both sides.
Li Cunxi was not in a hurry to move over. He stood where he was, sandwiched between Ma Rong and Lu Dayou.
Ma Rong, who was wearing a sharp knife, had his hand on the hilt. He always felt that this place was very weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird about it.
Qiao Tai used a branch to peel off the fallen leaves on the ground, continued to move forward cautiously, and soon arrived at the entrance of the earthen kiln.
After lighting a tinder, Qiao Tai walked slowly inside with the tinder in one hand and a branch in the other.
This earthen kiln is not small. Through the living room outside, there is a huge interrogation room inside.
After the earthen kiln was burned down more than two months ago, the walls had become somewhat cracked. If it was hit hard, the bricks and stones would fall off in the blink of an eye.
Cautiously entering the interrogation room, Qiao Tai did not find too many items. He only found a few Qianniuwei torture instruments scattered in the corners that had not yet been melted away.
Not long after, Qiao Tai came out, coughed twice, and said to Li Cunxi:
"Sir, I just took a look, there's nothing inside, and there's a risk of the walls falling down, so it's better not to go in."
Li Cunxi took a deep look at the dark entrance of the earthen kiln, hummed softly, turned around and got on the carriage.
"Ma Rong, turn around, we will head to Jiangzhang County immediately."
"I have one more thing to do there, so let's go there now."
Ma Rong climbed over and held the reins.
"Yes, but, sir, what are you going there for?"
Li Cunxi got on the carriage, sat down steadily, and said:
"Find a very important answer."
Qiao Tai and Lu Dayou rode their horses on the left and right, guarding the carriage towards the crimson tent.
The answer that Li Cunxi was looking for was nothing more than the unknown strong man who knocked down the hidden weapon when Di Renjie was attacked in Jiangzhang County that day, and there was no news of him since then.
On the night when Wu Zetian went to Yuanjue Temple to offer incense, Li Cunxi learned that Di Renjie had been rescued.
Li Cunxi kept this question in his mind for a long time.
But, I have never been able to ask successfully.
According to his guess, it should be Kui Wenzhong who secretly rescued him that night. If his guess is correct, he should be able to get the swallow bell found at the scene in the government office of Jiangzhang County.
If it was Xiaomei instead of Kui Wenzhong, then she would get a snake-shaped dart or an invisible needle.
