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

The bright moon is in the sky.

Two figures sneaked into the Di Mansion, lay on the outer wall of Li Cunxi's courtyard, and looked inside cautiously.

Li Cunxi was seen sitting in the pavilion across the courtyard, with Ma Rong and Qiao Tai drinking on both sides. On the table was a piece of cake sold by the famous Yuxiangfang in the capital. It was very expensive but not very tasty. After Li Cunxi ate a piece, he never touched it again, and gave it all to Ma Rong and Qiao Tai as a snack to go with their drinks.

The candlelight in the study was dim. With the door open, a figure could be vaguely seen sitting behind the desk, holding a book in both hands and reading with great interest. It was obviously Lu Dayou who followed Li Cunxi to Beijing after the Youzhou case. Although he was not young, he was also a diligent and studious person. It was said that Li Cunxi personally taught him to read, so he had a close relationship with Li Cunxi.

"There are too many people here." Xuguzi bared his teeth, "It seems that I have to lead them away before I can communicate with Li Cunxi face to face."

Li Cunxi sat in the pavilion, still recalling Wu Chengsi's analysis in the Prince of Wei's Palace.

According to what he and Wu Chengsi thought yesterday, the person who attacked Xue Aocao this time should be a descendant of the Li family. As for which descendant of the Li family it was, it was hard to say. Without any directional evidence, Li Cunxi was not sure, and Wu Chengsi could not be sure either.

At a certain moment, Li Cunxi suddenly felt that he was being watched. He looked around hurriedly but found nothing. Under the moonlight, the sky and scenery on all sides seemed blurry and dim. Li Cunxi had no way to find the pair of eyes that were watching him in the darkness.

"This Li Cunxi must be a freak. He can actually sense that we are spying on him." Xue Aocao was secretly surprised. "Why didn't I have this feeling before?"

"If you feel the same way, you won't be called Xue Aocao, but Li Cunxi." Xuguzi whispered, "Look at me."

The next moment, a strong lightning force suddenly erupted outside the courtyard. After a crackling sound, the lightning shot straight into the sky.

Ma Rong and Qiao Tai noticed this scene and couldn't drink any more. They shouted:

"Protect the young master!"

Li Cunxi was also surprised, and yelled to the system in his mind:

"Fuck, is there really such a person in this era who can rub lightning with his hands?"

"It has been detected that Xuguzi has made a move, but Xuguzi's lightning is most likely just a trick, the host does not need to be afraid... but it is not ruled out that Xuguzi can really rub lightning with his hands."

"Fuck your mother!"

Li Cunxi forced himself to calm down and looked nervously at the darkness outside the courtyard.

There was a Xuguzi waiting in the darkness at this moment. According to the area where the lightning flashed before, Xuguzi should be in the darkness a few meters outside the courtyard.

But now a little while had passed, and the inside of the Di Mansion had become lively because of the crackling lightning, so Xuguzi couldn't possibly still stay there.

Then Xuguzi must be hiding now. Where are they hiding?

Li Cunxi looked around and felt that in every dark corner there would be a Xuguzi rubbing his hands with heavenly thunder.

Di Chun and his servants hurried over. After seeing Li Cunxi in the courtyard, who was in a state of panic, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Sir, I just noticed a sudden burst of lightning in the mansion, shooting straight into the sky, so I hurried over to take a look."

Li Cunxi licked his dry lips, pointed to the dark corner outside the courtyard, and ordered:

"Search carefully, don't miss any corner, but if you find anything, come and tell me immediately."

Di Chun responded, and led the servants of the Di Mansion to light torches and lanterns, and began to check every corner of the Di Mansion.

Ma Rong and Qiao Tai escorted Li Cunxi to the study and stood with Lu Dayou.

Lu Dayou is reading "The Analects of Confucius".

Lu Dayou shook his head and muttered: "It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar!"

This guy truly achieved the state of not being disturbed by external things when studying. Even the loud lightning could not make his mind wander. Even when Li Cunxi was protected by Ma Rong and Qiao Tai, he did not even look up.

After checking for half an hour, Di Chun and his servants came over and reported to Li Cunxi:

"Sir, this is strange. We saw that the lightning was clearly rising from the direction of your yard, but no matter how hard we looked, we couldn't find any abnormality in any corner."

Li Cunxi felt a pain in his teeth.

This Xuguzi is also a ruthless person. He ran outside his yard in the middle of the night and set off a lightning and then disappeared. Isn't this crazy?

Or was it that this person was sent by Princess Taiping just to come and mess with me?

Unable to figure out the reason, Li Cunxi had no choice but to wave his hands at Di Chun and said helplessly:

"Sorry to bother you, let everyone go back and rest."

Di Chun responded and took the servants away.

Li Cunxi paced in the study with a frown on his face. After thinking for a long time, he decided to go back to the yard.

This time they were still in the same position as before, with Ma Rong and Qiao Tai guarding on the left and right sides. The three of them were facing a great enemy and looked in any direction outside the courtyard from time to time.

After a long time, a dark cloud covered the moon. After a flash of lightning, Xuguzi, who was hiding outside the Di Mansion with Xue Aocao, sneaked into the Di Mansion with Xue Aocao and came to the dark corner outside the courtyard where Li Cunxi was.

Looking at Li Cunxi who was still calm and composed, Xuguzi rubbed his teeth secretly.

"This boy was frightened by my thunderbolt, but he was able to remain calm. He is truly a hero. He is many times stronger than Princess Taiping. This is the demeanor that my lord should have."

Xue Aocao curled his lips and complained:

"We came here this time to find out whether the person who killed my family to disturb the capital is Li Cunxi. If it is really him, I will fight him to the death today. If it is not him, I will use him to find out the real murderer and make him pay with blood. Why do you show your respect before you even go over?"

Xuguzi rubbed his hands and said frankly:

"Isn't the purpose of life to have enough food and clothing? I spent the first half of my life as a cheating Taoist priest, with no money to spend, no meat to eat, and no wine to drink. In the second half of my life, I want to be a good person. I want to live a life without worries about food and clothing. I also want to wear closed-crotch pants every day, and no longer want to wear open-crotch pants."

Under the pavilion, Ma Rong, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes wide with anger. He leaped out, took out a single sword from his back, and swung it into the darkness.

"How dare you, a rat, spy on me!"

Xuguzi drew out the short sword with a blood groove on the tail of the whisk and blocked it with difficulty, gritting his teeth and saying:

"Discovered."

While Ma Rong and Xuguzi were listening to the shovels in the dark, Xue Aocao walked out of the darkness, entered the cross-yard, and clasped his fists towards Li Cunxi:

"Xue Aocao, I greet Lord Li Zezhou."
