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

The male favorites who were eavesdropping outside the door pushed the door open inadvertently because they pushed too hard.

Princess Taiping was rolling on the ground, and her brows immediately furrowed when she saw these male favorites crowding in naked.

"Were you all eavesdropping outside just now?"

A male favorite came over with a grin on his face, stretched out his arms and gently picked up Princess Taiping's naked body, and carried her to the bed. He did not answer the question, but moved with a panting voice.

Princess Taiping, who was forced to lie on the bed, had a ferocious look in her eyes, as if she could eat people.

"I'm asking you a question!"

"Don't talk." The male favorite covered Princess Taiping's mouth with his hand.

"Master Xuguzi, call some people in and kill them." Princess Taiping broke free and said to Xuguzi who was watching the show on the side.

"No need to call anyone, I can do it alone."

Xuguzi was not wearing pants either. He unscrewed the end of his whisk, revealing a knife with a bloody groove inside.

"I will send you to see the King of Hell right now."

A male favorite was the first to have his neck slit, followed by one after another.

Xuguzi, who had blocked the door and rushed in, killed more than a dozen male favorites one by one until only the last one was left, who was holding Princess Taiping down.

The male favorite, who was still panting, had a flash of madness in his eyes. He stretched out his hands and pinched Princess Taiping's neck, and then continued to move.

After taking a glance at the male favorite who was going crazy once more before dying, Xuguzi stretched out his hand, swung his knife, and cut the other's neck.

After pushing aside the man's body, Xuguzi glanced at the empty yard outside and asked:

"You are with so many men, and there is no one outside this yard to protect you. Aren't you afraid that they will kill you before anyone knows you are dead?"

Princess Taiping panted and laughed:

"Some of them I bought from poor families, some are very strong. Some of them I raised since they were little, I know what kind of people they are. If even they want to kill me, why would I fight for the throne of emperor?"

Xuguzi smelled several unpleasant odors mixed together in the air and felt even more nauseous. He turned around, picked up his crotch pants and went out to wear them.

After hundreds of years of development of pants, most people today still wear closed-crotch pants, and only some poor people wear open-crotch pants.

Since the period of the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, when nomadic peoples took control of the Nine Provinces, open-crotch pants have become extremely rare, mainly because they are unsightly.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the Han Dynasty before that, the vast majority of men and women wore open-crotch pants.

Open-crotch pants are also different from those in later generations. The open-crotch pants before have always been similar to sleeves, which are directly put on the legs.

To put it bluntly, a few hundred years ago, the robes and long skirts of men and women were basically hollowed out, with only two sleeves worn on the thighs.

Xuguzi was not a rich man. In the past few years, he was still wearing calf-nose pants that were shaped like cow horns. If he had not followed Princess Taiping, he would not even have a pair of crotch-closing pants.

After putting on his trousers, Xuguzi turned around to look at Princess Taiping who was still dreaming on the bed, suddenly lowered his head, turned around and left.

After all, he had deceived someone, and he felt a little guilty about staying here and looking at the naked Princess Taiping.

"Master, will you stay a little longer?" asked Princess Taiping in the room.

"I won't stay any longer. I will come to you on my own initiative after the plan starts." Xuguzi said and left without looking back.

Princess Taiping raised her head with a smile on her face: "Mother, if you can sit on the throne, so can I. When you go to the underworld, please don't blame your daughter for being cruel and ruthless."

……

The end of Sky Street.

Xue Mansion.

Wu Chengsi and Li Cunxi smelled the pungent smell of blood. No matter how hard Lao Hei and Ma Rong knocked on the door, no one responded.

A curious person found a patrolling soldier and went to the county government office in Chang'an to find Chen Ya, the magistrate of Chang'an County.

The magistrate of Chang'an County, Chen Ya, rushed over with the yamen runners. When he smelled the blood, his face changed drastically and he said:

"Quick, break open the door of Xue's mansion for me!"

In ancient times, knocking on the door of an official's house was a taboo, but now there is no other way.

Even if Xue Aocao's crime is unknown, it is better than the countless deaths and injuries here where no one knows about it.

While Chen Ya instructed his master to look for Wu Sansi, he came to Wu Chengsi and bowed respectfully, saying:

"I am Chen Ya, the magistrate of Chang'an County. I am honored to meet His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei."

Wu Chengsi took a deep look at Chen Ya and asked with some regret:

"Are you Sansi's disciple?"

Chen Ya sighed, looked back at the yamen runners who were knocking on the door, and replied weakly:

"I am a disciple of the King of Liang. However, if something happens to this family, I am afraid that even though I am a disciple of the King of Liang, I will not be able to continue to serve as the magistrate of Chang'an County... I am afraid that I will fall from grace."

Chen Ya retracted his gaze, bowed to Li Cunxi, and said with a wry smile:

"I'm afraid this person must be Lord Li Zezhou, who has recently become famous in the government and the public?"

Li Cunxi also bowed and said, "Your subordinate Li Cunxi."

"I am sorry for my words, Lord Li." Chen Ya looked at Li Cunxi with admiration. "Lord Li is so young, but he has already been ranked as an eighth rank. He is truly a hero in his youth. I am afraid he will be promoted again when he enters the court this time."

"Mr. Chen, you are too polite. My position is good enough for me." Li Cunxi responded casually.

Promotion is certain, but promotion to a Beijing official is difficult.

He didn't want to stay in the court forever, and he thought that positions like the Censor-in-Chief were more suitable for him.

"Something happened here. Have you sent someone to report it to His Majesty?" Wu Chengsi suddenly asked.

Chen Ya bowed deeply and said, "Your Highness, in reply to the King of Wei, I have been the magistrate of Chang'an County for eight years, so I naturally know who lives in Xue's mansion. So, as soon as I learned the news, I immediately sent someone to report to Your Majesty."

"You have served as the magistrate of Chang'an County for the rest of your life. If Wu Sansi is unwilling to protect you, you can come find me. Remember to come find me in public."

"I thank His Royal Highness the King of Wei for saving my life!"

Chen Ya fell to his knees on the ground with a thud. People coming and going saw it, but no one took it seriously.

Although the Chang'an County Magistrate was one of the few privileged county magistrates and one of the few officials above the fifth rank, it was not enough for him to stand tall in Chang'an, where officials of the fifth rank were everywhere and officials of the fourth rank were as numerous as dogs.

Li Cunxi could kill several fifth-rank officials with one brick.

He finally climbed to the position of county magistrate in the capital, but fell from grace at the peak of his career. His life was full of ups and downs.

"Hurry up and get up. I think today's court meeting will be postponed to tomorrow. I hope you can wait here with me."

"Yes, mentor!"

Wu Chengsi's heart was finally at peace. He couldn't sleep all night because of Xue Aocao's strange behavior.

He rushed here early this morning to find Xue Aocao and find the answers he wanted.

But the Xue Mansion was dead silent, and they could not go in before the government, otherwise their political enemies would surely attack them.

After half a cup of tea, the yamen runners finally broke down the door and forced their way in.

Unexpectedly, a yamen runner suddenly ran out and retched outside the door.

"What happened?" Chen Ya rushed forward.

"Master, I can't explain it clearly. Please go and take a look!" The bailiff retched again.

Wu Chengsi frowned and said, "Cunxi, let's go in and take a look together."
