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

A test from His Majesty.

And the test and teaching from my uncle.

They are two completely different things!

The two masters of the Di family will test you. If you can't answer or answer poorly, at most they will give you some guidance.

But if you fail to answer His Majesty's question well, your heads will roll all over the ground, and it's just a matter of chopping off your soul!

What's more, this time he has to face Du Ling, King of Wei, King of Liang and Zhang Jianzhi, the only prime minister who can get things done in the current dynasty at the same time!

"Brother, you didn't say when you said that the King of Wei was going. I'm afraid the Emperor suddenly changed his mind."

"Don't lose face, Li Cunxi!"

"You are the heir of the Li Tang clan! You are the direct grandson of Emperor Gaozu's nineteenth son, Prince Lu!"

"Don't lose face! You need to cheer up! You are great! Let's see what they can do to you!"

Li Cunxi slapped his face and repeated in his mind the ideas that the Di brothers had instilled in him.

Even my uncle Di Renjie thought so!

"Didn't you say that the King of Wei would not go?"

"How should I know? Jinghui didn't say that!"

"It seems that the emperor has changed his mind...Should we sneak into Yuanjue Temple and protect your brother in secret?"

"I don't think so. This kid is very smart. Besides, there is a Lord Di Renjie in Yuanjue Temple the day after tomorrow. For Lord Di's sake, the emperor should not kill Cunxi unless he is furious."

……

Two days passed in a flash.

The third day's pilgrimage to Yuanjue Temple arrived as scheduled.

Li Cunxi got up early, put the jade pendant given by Xiaomei on his neck, and carefully tidied it up. Then he had breakfast and waited outside the door for Hu Jinghui to come.

Di Chun said cautiously: "Sir, there is no news from the master yet. If anything happens to you during your visit to Yuanjue Temple..."

"It's okay, wait and see your son come back safe and sound!"

Li Cunxi said nonchalantly, took the tea bowl from the servant beside him and drank some tea to moisten his lips.

My lips are almost dry if I don’t drink water for a long time. This feeling is really uncomfortable.

"Master Li!"

I had just taken a few sips of the bowl of tea when Hu Jinghui came on horseback.

Under the heavy protection of the Qianniu Guards, a carriage came slowly over.

Li Cunxi recognized the carriage at a glance. It was the carriage from the palace of Prince Wei Wu Chengsi. It was the same carriage that brought Wu Chengsi and Li Cunxi to the palace of Prince Wei when they left Ganlu Palace a few days ago.

"General Hu, let Master Li come to my place."

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Wu Chengsi's awe-inspiring face appeared in Li Cunxi's sight.

Even though they were seven or eight meters apart, Li Cunxi could still clearly feel the angry feeling coming from Wu Chengsi.

The other party is like a raging volcano at this moment, but it has not been completely ignited yet.

"Thank you, King Wei, for giving me a ride."

Li Cunxi bowed and used the servants of Prince Wei's mansion as human benches to get on the carriage smoothly.

"Please sit down. Are you surprised why I am going to Yuanjue Temple as well?"

"Humph, it's all my stupid brother's fault. I don't know what he got into, but he went to tell His Majesty that the two prime ministers were going to pay homage, and that it would be impolite for me not to go, so he insisted on taking me with him."

Wu Chengsi was in great pain and began to complain.

Is it that the Western Region striptease in the Prince of Wei’s mansion is not good to watch?

Or is it that the beautiful girls and concubines in Prince Wei's mansion have neither slim waists nor skinny legs?

Touching the waist, pinching the legs, watching the Western Region striptease, and drinking some fine wine, isn't it better than running to Yuanjue Temple to burn incense early in the morning?

"This is the family affair of the King of Wei. Cunxi dare not speak rashly."

Li Cunxi responded softly and said no more.

"You are quite cautious, did I make you say anything you shouldn't have said?"

Wu Chengsi angrily lowered the curtain of the sedan chair.

"Then Wu Sansi wants to find an opportunity to deal with you today, but you are Di Renjie's nephew. Zhang Jianzhi, who is accompanying him, will do his best to protect you, whether for the sake of the Li Tang royal family or for Di Renjie's face."

“That’s why I was brought in.”

"But he is wrong. I never deal with useless Li clan heirs who are not harmful to the Wu family."

Li Cunxi: ???

"Your Highness, Prince of Wei, Gao Yi!"

"Cunxi is just a descendant of an exile now. He is not a threat to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei, His Royal Highness the Prince of Liang, the Wu family, or even the almighty Emperor of the Great Zhou!"

“I hope that Your Highness the Prince of Wei can understand Cunxi’s tragic experience as an exile…”

No matter what purpose Wu Chengsi had in saying those words.

At this moment, climbing up the pole is undoubtedly the best choice!

Especially if we bring up the fact that Wu Chengsi was also an exile in his early years, perhaps the current Prince of Wei would be able to empathize with him a little more.

Li Cunxi has a good plan.

Unexpectedly, Wu Chengsi narrowed his eyes and said, "You just said that we are both descendants of exiles?"

"Cun Xi made a mistake in his words. I hope Your Highness the King of Wei will forgive me!"

"Yes, that's right. Even though I was once an exile, so what? I am still the King of Wei, right?"

……

The imperial decree was issued to build Yuanjue Temple!

The Qianniu Guards set up a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps, and they have surrounded the place tightly!

Today is the day when His Majesty the Emperor comes to offer incense, and outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave this temple.

Wu Zetian had arrived early under the protection of General Huan Bin of the Qianniu Guard.

However, there was less than half an hour left before the time for the incense burning, and Wu Zetian started chatting with Zhang Jianzhi and Wu Sansi who were accompanying her.

In the past, before offering incense at Yuanjue Temple, the accompanying ministers would go to Taiji Hall to meet the emperor first, and then come together.

But this time there were Wu Chengsi and Li Cunxi, so they could only wait for Hu Jinghui to escort them over.

"Your Majesty, General Tiger is here."

The young eunuch came over and reported.

"Well, let Jinghui bring Chengsi and Cunxi in."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

There was a look of sadness between Wu Zetian's brows.

The Imperial Guards, Yulin Guards and Qianniu Guards that were sent out to look for Di Renjie in the past few days have not found any news at all.

Di Renjie, the most capable minister of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and his life or death is unknown!

The only capable official she could rely on to handle the case was her eldest nephew Wu Chengsi.

This is also the reason why she changed her mind and let Wu Chengsi come out early.

Soon, the young eunuch led Hu Jinghui in, followed by Wu Chengsi and Li Cunxi.

"Your Majesty, I have been ordered to bring His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei and Young Master Li here!"

Hu Jinghui bowed and reported.

"Your Majesty, I am Wu Chengsi, your servant, and I pay my respects to you!" Wu Chengsi bowed casually as a token of his appreciation.

"I, the humble citizen Li Cunxi, kowtow to Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"

Li Cunxi knelt down and kowtowed to Wu Zetian.

"Get up, Cunxi."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Cunxi followed Wu Chengsi to the back and stood still. His eyes passed over Wu Chengsi who was standing still and fell on Huan Bin, the honest and simple General of Qianniu Guard!

Huan Bin was born with an honest and simple image. He wanted to be serious, but no matter how he tried, he could only show his honest side.

Li Cunxi's heart skipped a beat:

"This Snake Spirit Hall Master, has he appeared so early?"
