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

In Liujiazhuang outside Cuiping Mountain, the heroic Xiaomei sat in the main hall with a letter in her hand.

After looking him up and down for several times, she pouted and said, "You're already ordering me around like this before I even get married?"

"Madam, the master needs you so much." Pei Rongxian said with his body bent.

"Okay, but someone still needs to keep an eye on Cuiping Mountain."

"Don't worry, I'll bring a few brothers to keep an eye on this place."

"Okay, Wu Xiang, tell the brothers in the Ninth Hall to pack up and follow me to Henan Prefecture."

Wu Xiang, who was squatting outside, bowed, turned around and called his men to go down.

"Madam," Pei Rongxian said, "According to your Excellency's instructions, Zhao Wanquan will bring the subordinates of Xize Bank to help you."

"No need." Xiao Mei loaded her hidden weapon and picked up her sword. "The guards of Xize Bank are too weak. Only Zhao Wanquan has some skills. It would be a waste of time if they came along. Let Zhao Wanquan stay here."

"Yes, ma'am."

Soon, the Snake Spirit members packed up their luggage, dressed in uniform purple robes and followed Xiaomei away.

Zhao Wanquan was watching from behind, unable to hide his disappointment.

"Mr. Pei, why are their clothes exactly the same? It would be so impressive to wear them out. Look at our clothes. They don't even match."

"I'll find you a partner when I'm richer." Pei Rong turned around and went into Liujiazhuang first. "By the way, don't go out during this period if you can, and don't cause trouble for the adults."

"understood."

……

Luoyang, Yongchang County.

As soon as Li Cunxi moved into the posthouse, he saw the Qianniu Guards from the capital rushing over. After unsuccessfully investigating the case in the forest that day, they walked all the way and finally arrived at the county under the jurisdiction of the capital.

Among the counties under the jurisdiction of Luoyang, there is a Yongchang County, which is a real capital county. However, unlike the original book, the county here is not of the upper fifth rank, but of the upper sixth rank.

The county magistrates of Jing County are all at this level. The county magistrates of the same level include the county magistrates of Jingzhao Prefecture, Henan Prefecture and Taiyuan Prefecture, that is, the counties under the jurisdiction of the prefectures where the Western Capital Chang'an, the Eastern Capital Luoyang and the Northern Capital Taiyuan are located.

Since Zeng Tai followed Di Renjie, he was promoted four times in four months, from the seventh rank to the sixth rank. He can be said to be very successful. Unfortunately, a lot of troubles happened in the past two days, and someone under his rule died.

Di Renjie was not in Luoyang, but in Chang'an. Zeng Tai had no way to ask his mentor for help and could only wait for Li Cunxi to arrive.

As soon as Li Cunxi checked into the inn, Zeng Tai came back immediately.

After knocking on Li Cunxi's door, he strode in and said with a bitter face:

"Cunxi, something big has happened!"

Li Cunxi could guess what happened, but he still pretended to be confused and asked:

"What's wrong, Brother Zeng Tai?"

Zeng Tai had a mask of pain on his face and uttered "ouch" several times. He then took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Li Cunxi.

"Cunxi, stop joking. I'm really in big trouble now!"

"Someone died under my rule, and Lord Di was not around, so I waited a long time for you to come!"

Li Cunxi took a sip of tea and thought to himself that it was indeed the same story as the bleeding eagle.

Since the death of Gao Lan, the chief of the Inner Guard Palace, other people in the Inner Guard Palace could not escape the fate of being purged. The person who died under Zeng Tai's rule should be Sun Dianchen, the chief of the Inner Guard Palace who was supposed to die in the summer night.

Sun Dianchen’s tragic death should have happened in the summer of this year, but unexpectedly it happened in the spring.

"I was ordered to investigate the case, but unfortunately there were no clues left at the place where Gao Geling died. It would be great if you had any clues here."

Li Cunxi put down the tea bowl and picked up his official uniform and put it on.

"Let's go. I'll call someone to go with us."

Zeng Tai was overjoyed and hurried to catch up.

As the two walked out of the room, they saw Wu Yanhao coming hurriedly, followed by You Huan.

"Cunxi, there is a change in the palace!"

Wu Yanhao handed a piece of information to Li Cunxi. The information was not long, but just one glance at it made Li Cunxi's throat tighten.

Wu Zetian in the palace had actually started having nightmares and discovered the relics of Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian. She also summoned Wang Zhiyuan into the palace to exorcise evil spirits and avoid disaster.

In order to sleep peacefully, Wu Zetian even asked all the palace maids to go away and only left Chunxiang in the palace to take care of her.

"Too fast." Li Cunxi said and hurried out.

"What do you mean too fast?" Wu Yanhao was stunned for a moment and hurried to catch up.

"This is really strange." Li Cunxi looked back at You Huan and asked, "Did you take the horse hoof print?"

"It has been completed. Someone has been sent to the Flying Dragon Envoy who is in charge of the stables in the Inner Guard Palace." You Huan replied.

"You go back to Luoyang in person and bring He Yun, the Flying Dragon Envoy, to the inn. He is in charge of the stables and is an expert in horse identification. He might know what kind of horse that huge hoof print belongs to."

"My subordinate understands!"

"There is one more thing, Lord You Huan, please help me go to Princess Taiping's residence and say hello to her."

"Leader!"

……

"Sir, what is going on?"

On the way to the crime scene, Li Yuanfang, who had read the intelligence, leaned over and asked.

"Brother Yuanfang, haven't you seen it? Why don't you guess what's going on?" Li Cunxi said lightly while riding a horse.

"Your Majesty killed too many people in his early years. I'm afraid those evil spirits are here to claim your life." Li Yuanfang was frightened.

"If you firmly believe that there are ghosts in this world, then you will be afraid of something. Warriors are always fearless, so how can you be afraid of these illusory things?"

Li Cunxi reminded calmly.

Ever since he saved Hu Jinghui in the Youzhou case, Li Yuanfang has had no chance of upgrading, and he is still a top-notch master.

In the Huzhou case, Li Yuanfang had almost no chance to take action from beginning to end, and in the end he just showed his elevated IQ.

If he wants to bring Li Yuanfang up, the only way is to solve this case to dispel Yuanfang's fear of ghosts.

"Sir, we can't believe everything about gods and ghosts, but we can't not believe them either." Li Yuanfang said seriously, "The horseshoe prints we saw that day were so big that they didn't look like those of a horse. What else could they be but ghosts?"

Li Cunxi smiled and said, "Brother Yuan Fang, I'm afraid that quite a few people have died under your sword, but no evil spirits have come to claim your life, right?"

On the official road from Yongchang County to Luoyang, Li Cunxi finally saw a carriage overturned on the side of the road.

There were two bodies on the side of the road, and the heads and left arms of the deceased were missing for the time being.

On one of the bodies, Zeng Tai's subordinates found a pass with the name of the deceased, Jiang Xiaolang, and his hometown, Jiangjiazhuang, Henan County.

Standing beside the fallen carriage, Li Cunxi was thinking about whether to do something. If he had to end the battle quickly, then there was undoubtedly such an opportunity in front of him.

But he could have completely omitted the clue that the deceased might be an internal guard.

After taking a deep look at Li Yuanfang, Li Cunxi suddenly smiled and asked Zeng Tai:

"Are there any other clues?"
