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

Xuguzi kindly poured a cup of tea and said, "I have some other news here. I wonder if you would like to hear it."

"Master, please speak." Princess Taiping took a deep breath and looked at Xuguzi with hatred.

Of course, this hatred was not directed at Xuguzi, but at that stupid flying dragon master He Yun.

The plan that Princess Taiping had made at the beginning was to secretly eliminate Gao Lan, the chief of the Inner Guard Palace, and leave Sun Dianchen, the chief of the Inner Guard Palace, behind, and then kill Sun Dianchen when the time was right.

Now, the killing of Gao Lan was discovered by so many people. He Yun is also a waste. It is not impossible to kill him at night, but why send that mute to kill him during the day?

"The first piece of news is that my disciple Wang Zhiyuan has arrived. He and his guards saw Gao Lan being killed with their own eyes. There is no chance for him to argue that he didn't see it. Fortunately, with his arrival, we have more helpers."

"It is indeed a good thing that Wang Zhiyuan came, but it is not a good thing that he happened to see Gao Lan being killed... Alas, it is fate."

"The second piece of news is that the people sent by His Majesty to investigate the case were not Di Renjie or Wu Chengsi, but Li Cunxi and Wu Yanhao. Their escorts were Hu Jinghui, the Lieutenant General of the Qianniu Guard, and Li Yuanfang, the Lieutenant General of the Yingyang Guard."

"I recognize the investigative abilities of Di Renjie and Wu Chengsi, but aren't Li Cunxi and Wu Yanhao just two useless bastards who only know what others have to say? At first, I was worried that Your Majesty would send Di Renjie and Wu Chengsi. Now, I'm not worried at all." Princess Taiping breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are these two useless people who just repeat what others say?" Xuguzi hesitated for a moment, wondering if he didn't know Li Cunxi well enough.

If a man as clever as Li Cunxi can be called a waste, then what is the value of this old man who has made all the calculations but can be seen through at a glance?

As for Wu Yanhao, Xuguzi didn't know much about him. He would be able to find out whether he was a waste within a month.

"Li Cunxi has not made any achievements since his debut. He was able to climb to this position because His Majesty wanted to set a benchmark. He was fortunate enough to become this benchmark, so he climbed to this position."

"And Wu Yanhao just has a good father. If his father wasn't Wu Chengsi, he wouldn't have been able to climb to his current height in his lifetime. You know what the second generation is like now."

Princess Taiping acted as if she knew Li Cunxi and Wu Yanhao very well. Her eyes were full of disdain as she spoke of these two lucky kids of the younger generation.

Li Cunxi is only thirteen years old and his hair hasn't even grown out yet. What can he do?

It is said that he made great contributions following Di Renjie, but that was just following Di Renjie to gain exposure. If Di Renjie had not given the credit to Li Cunxi, would Li Cunxi have been able to get up?

"Princess, don't underestimate any of the best of the younger generation. They are all high-level talents in their fields. Only such people can be of benefit to the Great Zhou."

Xuguzi decided to give Princess Taiping one last reminder.

"Li Cunxi was only thirteen years old, and he was the son of an exile. He should have died under the majesty's majesty, but the King of Liang tried to kill him several times, but Li Cunxi remained safe and sound. Now Li Cunxi is not only a sixth-rank lower councilor of the court, but also a disciple of the King of Wei and the nephew of Lord Di."

"All the civil and military officials in the court who are loyal to the Li family are proud to be friends with him, and all those who are loyal to Your Majesty are proud that the Great Zhou will have another Di Renjie in the future..."

Before Xuguzi could finish his words, he was interrupted by Princess Taiping.

"I never believe the rumors in the court. I only believe what I see with my own eyes."

Princess Taiping looked back charmingly and said with a smile, "If Li Cunxi really has this ability and is determined not to be used by me, then I will kill him too. Mother can control him, but I can't."

"Princess, what shall we do next?"

"Contact the anti-Wu forces and go to the Huaiyang area to find the Iron Hand Group. I will spend 10,000 taels of silver to buy Li Cunxi's life."

"This...what if Li Cunxi escapes and eventually finds you, Princess?"

"Then raise an army and kill Li Cunxi, then break up into smaller groups and continue to hide. Sooner or later, you will have the chance to become emperor."

……

Henan Prefecture.

Five horses galloped on the official road and came to the place where Gao Lan was killed that day.

You Huan, the leader of the Inner Guard Bureau, was like a grim devil. He stood like a stick at the place where Gao Lan died, looking back and forth with a cold face.

The guards he brought with him searched the mountain to make sure there was no one there.

"Lord Li, Lord Wu, General Hu, General Li."

You Huan bowed to everyone one by one, and then stood there like a stick, motionless.

"Captain Youhuan, are your people searching the mountain?"

Li Cunxi pointed to the forest beside the road.

"That's right, Master Li. I'm following orders from my superiors to send my men to patrol the entire forest. We're afraid someone is hiding in the dark and trying to harm you."

You Huan's answer was without any emotion, just like a robot.

"Okay, then where will Leader Gao Lan come out from to wait for me?" Wu Yanhao asked.

"A small path in the mountains and forests." You Huan said.

"Take us there."

"Yes!"

Li Cunxi and others followed You Huan up the mountain, and the leader of the Inner Guard Bureau soon found the path in the forest.

That path was a real path, just wide enough for two horses to walk side by side, and it was covered with chaotic horse hoof prints. There were two types of horse hoof prints leading from the deep forest to the official road outside, one of which was smaller, and the other was extremely wide.

The broad horse hoof prints stopped about 20 meters away from the official road, and then turned their heads and went back the way they came. Continuing forward, the group walked for half an hour and soon found the exit of the forest trail, which was another forest.

There are countless horseshoe prints crisscrossing in the mountains and forests, but the largest horseshoe print among them is still obvious. However, the horseshoe prints end here and you can’t find any larger horseshoe prints ahead.

"Brother Jinghui, Brother Yuanfang, you are both from the military. Have you ever seen this huge horse hoof print?"

Li Cunxi stopped in front of the huge horseshoe print and asked calmly.

Li Yuanfang said nothing and walked back, stepping back and forth between the horse hoof prints in the forest.

"What's wrong, General Li?" Wu Yanhao followed and asked.

"Master Wu, although I am not an expert in horse appraisal, I know that there is no horse in the world that can take such a long stride."

Li Yuanfang took big strides back and forth and turned back to talk to Wu Chengsi.

"If this isn't a horse, then what is it?" Li Cunxi joked.

"This must be a monster!" Li Yuanfang said, gritting his teeth.

"There are no monsters in this world, Brother Yuan Fang." Li Cunxi looked down at the messy horse hoof prints, "Let's go back and check in the forest. Gao Lan was killed by an assassin in the forest. If there are any clues, they can only be found in the forest."
