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

When we left Xue Mansion, it was almost dusk.

The drizzle stopped in less than half an hour, and Ma Rong followed Li Cunxi with a paper umbrella in hand.

"Sir, why do you seem to be much quieter?"

"It's better not to ask about some things. After all, even I find it difficult to accept these things at the first time."

As Li Cunxi spoke, he stepped hard on the ground.

"What's going on, sir? Is there really something that even you can't solve?"

"It's not that I can't solve it, but I really can't understand why it turned out like this... Ah Rong, did you know that there was an assassin who would kill my uncle that night? How did Xue Aocao know about it?"

"I don't know. How could I know this?"

Li Cunxi leaned close to Ma Rong's ear and said a name.

After standing there hesitating for a long time, Ma Rong's expression suddenly changed.

"Sir, is this Xue Aocao really not lying to you? How could he be that person?"

Li Cunxi scratched his head frantically and said helplessly: "You asked me who I should ask. That person is really strange. But he and my mentor both asked me to keep it absolutely confidential and not tell my uncle."

"Since they all say so, I think it's better for you to keep it absolutely confidential, sir," said Ma Rong.

Li Cunxi took a deep breath and walked forward with his head down: "Maybe, maybe I should really keep it a secret. After all, this news can't possibly come out of that person's mouth anyway."

At this moment, in Xue Mansion.

The old gatekeeper closed the door, and the boy catamites, servants, and retainers who had been there before took off the human skin masks on their faces.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The leader walked into a side room, pulled out a knife, and cut off the head of the bound Xue Aocao.

"Is it not a good idea to do this? After all, I promised him that I would keep him here."

"Why do we kill people and leave them alive? Aren't we afraid that we will be exposed by these people?"

"Okay, I admit that what you said is right."

"It is quite necessary for us to do this now. The false news has been passed to Li Cunxi and Wu Chengsi. As long as one of them is a big mouth, Di Renjie might act differently after knowing this. If these people are alive, they will expose us sooner or later."

"So what do we do next?"

"Kill all the living people in their family and throw them into the side room. We will evacuate overnight and return to where we should be."

Everyone acted as soon as they said it. They stripped the male prostitutes, maids and servants one by one, gagged them, took them to the side rooms and killed them all.

Seeing that the side rooms were filled with corpses, everyone was filled with the smell of blood.

"Change your clothes back. We will leave overnight and leave these clothes to them."

The leader gave orders again, and everyone found a place to change into the clothes that had been prepared long ago.

Except for the weapons and human skin masks, all the clothes were thrown into the side rooms and fell on the corpses.

"Alright, check every corner of the Xue Mansion again before leaving. Don't leave even one person alive. Otherwise, there will be problems."

The leader conducted another search with a knife. After making sure that there was no one alive, everyone left the Xue Mansion in batches while the night patrol soldiers were not patrolling here.

The leader was the last one to leave. After seeing everyone else off, he bolted the door, leaped onto the roof, and then walked on it.

In the main hall of Prince Wei's mansion, Wu Chengsi half raised his head, feeling that something bad was happening.

Lao Bai, who was sitting cross-legged on the tiles in the main hall, suddenly opened his eyes and looked in a certain direction of Chang'an City.

"Lao Hei, don't sleep anymore. Something happened. It's coming from the direction of Xue Mansion."

Lao Bai patted Lao Hei, who was dressed in black and had his eyes closed as if he was invisible.

Tonight, dark clouds in the sky covered the moon, and there was almost no light in Chang'an.

The vision of ancient people at night was not as good as during the day, let alone discovering a dark man in black clothes.

Lao Hei woke up from his sleep, frowned, and asked, "What place are you talking about?"

"The Xue Mansion, the residence of His Majesty's male favorite Xue Aocao. I have a feeling something must have happened there." Lao Bai pointed in the direction of the Xue Mansion.

"Do you want to go and take a look?" Lao Hei sniffed.

"Ask the King of Wei for his advice," said Lao Bai. "Wait here for me to come back. Don't run around. I'll get you two cakes."

Without waiting for Lao Hei to answer, Lao Bai jumped off the roof.

Wu Chengsi in the main hall was on pins and needles. The tea in his cup had gone cold, but he didn't even take a sip.

None of the cakes in the bag were eaten. The only piece of cake that had a tooth mark on it from Wu Chengsi was left there untouched.

"King Wei, there must be some problems at the Xue Mansion. I always feel like something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Wu Chengsi asked, trying hard to stay alert.

"I seemed to see a dark shadow flash across the roof in that direction, but I can't be sure if it was a person because I only saw it once."

"I also had a bad feeling tonight, but I didn't know what went wrong. I thought about it for a long time and found that there seemed to be only one problem."

"Where?"

"It's Xue Aocao from the Xue Mansion... Everything I do is beneficial to me, including joining forces with Cunxi, reminding him, and protecting him. But with Xue Aocao..."

Wu Chengsi frowned.

He found that his thoughts were interrupted.

He didn't know how to evaluate Xue Aocao.

That day, the reason why he sent Hongyan to Jiangzhang County in advance to secretly protect Li Cunxi and Di Renjie was because Xue Aocao took the initiative to come to him and told him that Li Cunxi and Di Renjie might be in danger.

You know, his relationship with Xue Aocao was not good in the past.

In his early years, he harmed the descendants of the Li family, while Xue Aocao, relying on Wu Zetian's favor, secretly protected the descendants of the Li family.

The two ignored each other whenever they met, and it was only in the past two years that the situation improved.

"Xue Aocao took the initiative to find me, how could there not be problems?"

Wu Chengsi suddenly figured it out and he clapped his hands vigorously.

"That's right, there must be a big reason. Why did he suddenly come to me?"

“My thoughts before have always been on Cunxi and the unspeakable power that Cunxi holds, as well as the group of people he represents.”

"My goal from the beginning was to win over Cun Xi, but my goal made me temporarily forget whether there were any things that shouldn't have appeared in the help and reminders given to me by others when I was doing these things."

"I think I have found my biggest oversight now. Prepare the horse. I am going to the Di Mansion."

Wu Chengsi waved his sleeves and prepared to go to Di Renjie's house to meet Li Cunxi immediately.

The government is in an emergency right now, and Di Renjie is hiding in Wu Chengye's mansion in Luoyang and has not returned yet. The Di mansion is home to Li Cunxi and a group of servants.

Since Lao Bangzi is not around, the two of them can discuss anything together.
