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

After dinner, Li Cunxi left the table and strolled in the yard.

The Wu family’s courtyard is really big. The courtyard outside the main hall alone is enough for Li Cunxi to spend a while wandering around.

It is larger than the Di Mansion in the capital and the Di Mansion in Shanxi combined.

It was also the first time that Li Cunxi strolled around the Prince of Wei's Mansion in such a serious manner. The previous times he came to the Prince of Wei's Mansion, he walked around in an official manner and then immediately went to the main hall to meet Wu Chengsi.

The flowers and plants in the Prince of Wei's mansion were quite bright. Li Cunxi looked at them one by one, but most of them were unfamiliar to him.

Previously, in the small garden of Liujiazhuang outside Cuiping Mountain in Huzhou, Di Renjie taught them to recognize flowers, but Li Cunxi had forgotten everything. He only remembered that bunch of orchid flowers, which were really fragrant and Li Cunxi liked them very much. However, when Li Cunxi came back from Liujiazhuang, he did not bring them with him. This kind of flower was quite difficult to raise, so he had to throw it aside and pretend that he did not like it.

While admiring the flowers in the garden, Li Cunxi walked slowly forward. A thin figure came towards him and blocked his way.

Li Cunxi narrowed his eyes and turned his gaze back, meeting the eyes of the rather skinny boy in front of him.

Through the thin boy in front of him, Li Cunxi seemed to see his own thin dog body. His physique has undergone earth-shaking changes after many blessings, but his body shape is still the same as before, mainly a thin dog body.

The two looked at each other for a few sips of tea, and the boy opposite half raised his head and said, "Are you Li Zezhou?"

"I'm Li Zezhou, but my current name is Li Cunxi. Who are you?" Li Cunxi asked with his head tilted.

In fact, Li Cunxi had a high probability of guessing the other party's identity. He appeared in the Prince Wei's Mansion, his dress was not like that of an ordinary person, and he was so high-spirited.

Presumably, he should be the son of King Wei Wu Chengsi.

However, Li Cunxi didn’t know which son of Wu Chengsi the other person was.

Born in 649 AD, the 13rd year of the Zhenguan reign, Wu Chengsi, the King of Wei during the Wu Zhou Dynasty, had six concubines in addition to his wife. This first wife, six concubines, and countless maids gave birth to 9 sons and daughters for Wu Chengsi over a period of more than years. The oldest grandson born to him by his oldest son is already three years old, but Wu Chengsi's youngest daughter is only eight years old this year.

The young man in front of him was about the same age as Li Cunxi, but the arrogance in his eyes and his high spirits were something that Li Cunxi could never possess.

"Wu Yanhao." The young man introduced himself calmly.

"The twelfth son of my mentor?" Li Cunxi raised his eyebrows.

"Let's take a walk together?" Wu Yanhao pointed to the yard. "The last time you came, I had just returned home, and before I had the chance to see you, you just left. Today is a good day."

"It just so happens that I have never been to the courtyard of Prince Wei's Mansion, so I am sorry to bother you, Your Highness."

"Don't be polite, just call me by my name."

"Okay, Wu Yanhao."

"You are really interesting, Li Cunxi."

"Same here, Wu Yanhao."

"The plum blossoms are blooming beautifully." Wu Yanhao changed the subject, "I seldom come home. I have been drifting outside for the past few years."

"I heard that you and your brothers-in-law traveled around the country and saw the world?"

"You know this too?"

"I am my mentor's beloved disciple, so it's not a bad idea for me to get to know my mentor's offspring."

There were seven or eight trees planted on one side of the yard. It was blooming time and the fragrance of plum blossoms filled the air. Li Cunxi sniffed greedily, as if he smelled the scent of Sister Xiaomei.

Speaking of Xiaomei, Li Cunxi still missed her quite a bit. Since they parted at Di Mansion in Taiyuan County, Taiyuan Prefecture, Bingzhou, Li Cunxi had never met her again. Xiaomei said that she would be very busy in the future and asked Li Cunxi to wait for her. Li Cunxi has been waiting, but there has been no news about Xiaomei so far.

"My father told me when I was young that there were too many brothers in the family and that only my eldest brother could inherit his position. He told me to go out more and make a name for myself in the future."

As Wu Yanhao walked, he kicked a tree as if he was angry, but it hurt himself instead. He stood there gritting his teeth.

"I'm doing pretty well. Although I can't inherit my family's property, I can still borrow some of their power."

Li Cunxi said calmly, with a confident smile on his face. This was one of the few things in the world that could make him confident. At the age of thirteen, he was a sixth-rank Fengyilang, acting as the fourth-rank Shaoyin of Jingzhao Prefecture.

For many years, no one has achieved what he has achieved.

"I started traveling around the country with my sisters-in-law four years ago. Wherever they were officials, I went there to learn from them. I studied for four years and now I am almost fifteen, so I am coming back."

Wu Yanhao was still quite angry. He couldn't see his biological parents and was wandering around at such a young age. People who didn't know him would think he was an orphan.

"Master asked you to come back?"

"Well, they told me to prepare myself and pave the way for me. My child is not young anymore, so I have to do something. What if he goes out on his own and starves to death?"

"Master is truly a god... If that's the case, has Master arranged for you to do anything?"

"Well, my father asked me to stay with you so that I could learn from you."

"Hiss, I'm not your brother-in-law, and we are about the same age, what can I teach you?"

"Let me follow you for a while, maybe I can get some credit and rise to the top in one step... This is my guess."

"I see, you are not telling the truth, Wu Yanhao."

Li Cunxi stopped and looked at Wu Yanhao with burning eyes.

This thin dog friend is a pretty nice person, but he is not very honest.

How could a good son who was sent by the King of Wei to study with his sisters and sons-in-law at the age of nine be a waste?

Either this person was highly regarded by King Wei Wu Chengsi, or he was gifted and had already demonstrated extraordinary intelligence.

"What truth do you want me to tell, Li Cunxi?"

"You know, I don't have any friends my own age."

"Then maybe I can be one. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Wu Yanhao."

"Is this some special way of introduction?"

Wu Yanhao laughed, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly forward, saying as he walked: "This is certainly not a special way of introduction. I'm just repeating what I said. By the way, do you want to see Yuan Hui?"

"Who to meet?" Li Cunxi frowned.

"My little sister, Wu Yuanhui." Wu Yanhao said.

"Why should I see her?" Li Cunxi asked puzzledly.

"You will meet him sooner or later. Of course, maybe not in the morning or evening, maybe at noon."

"Are you telling me some nonsense literature? Of course, I know a thing or two about this. After all, I like to talk nonsense... Are you participating in tonight's operation?"

"Of course, why do you think I came to you?"
