These words have completely different tones when spoken by Di Renjie and Wu Chengsi.

Di Renjie was naturally worried.

Wu Chengsi was relaxed and comfortable.

But of course there is nothing wrong at this stage.

Li Cunxi leaned back lazily and said:

"Uncle Wuyou, I am the descendant of a criminal. There is no way I can climb to the status of a prince or a duke."

Di Renjie shook his head.

I knew that I was worrying too early.

However, it may not be too early to worry.

There were more than one Prince of the Wu family in the court who were eyeing the heir of the Li clan, namely Prince of Wei Wu Chengsi.

Isn’t there another idiot, King Liang, Wu Sansi?

"By the way, uncle, I have a question. In your description of the past few days, you did not answer this question of mine." Li Cunxi asked Di Renjie.

"What kind of question is it, Cunxi? Tell me first, and let your uncle think about it carefully."

When Di Renjie heard that Li Cunxi still had questions, he immediately became excited.

As the saying goes, three incompetent generals are better than one Zhuge Liang.

Di Renjie might have some shortcomings when thinking about problems alone, but with the help of Li Cunxi, who is quite intelligent, their shortcomings might be made up.

"That's right, uncle."

Li Cunxi organized his words before speaking.

"Uncle, you just said that you and Brother Yuan Fang found a Hu silk handkerchief after checking the earthen kiln, and that handkerchief was the one used by Viper, the murderer of the envoys."

"By using this Hu silk handkerchief embroidered with a poisonous snake, you and Brother Yuan Fang were able to deduce that the ultimate goal of the murderer of the envoy, Viper, was to impersonate an envoy to enter the capital and rescue the mysterious man in the earthen kiln, Liu Jin, the former secretary of Yue Wang Li Zhen."

"In order to successfully take the secretary Liu Jin out of Chang'an, they killed Princess Yiyang and used Princess Yiyang's carriage to send Liu Jin away."

"But, uncle, do you realize the connection between these three things and us?"

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows.

Association?

The connection with them?

"Cunxi, this connection is not just to kill us and frame Li Yuanfang, and then directly rescue Liu without anyone noticing..."

Di Renjie was halfway through his words.

His brows furrowed.

No, there is a huge problem here.

Rescuing Liu Jin could be said to be destroying the Wu Zhou regime just for the sake of that list.

So, if they must destroy the Wu Zhou empire, they will not be able to resist even if faced with thousands of troops.

In other words, even if Li Yuanfang was extremely powerful, he could not fight against an army alone.

Similarly, even if Di Renjie was extremely intelligent, he could not defeat an entire army alone.

Even though Di Renjie was an eloquent man, he couldn't stop those people from overthrowing Wu Zhou with just his mouth.

So, why did those people want to assassinate Di Renjie?

Anyway, Liu Jin's incident was bound to be known sooner or later, and the bandits' attack on Beijing was also inevitable. Why did they have to assassinate Di Renjie?

Di Renjie was puzzled and could only say:

"Cunxi, what do you think?"

Li Cunxi, lying on his side, said lazily:

“Uncle, Cunxi, lie on your side and watch… um.”

"That's right, uncle. I think that each of the three has little to do with us individually, but when they are put together, they have a great relationship."

Di Renjie's lips moved.

"The case of the murder of the envoy, the fire in the kiln, and the murder of the princess were all brought together for the purpose of..."

Li Cunxi unbuttoned his plain robe, exposing his chest to the air.

Seeing that his uncle was still wasting his time, Li Cunxi had no choice but to remind him again:

"Uncle, they are targeting Wu Zhou and want to restore Li Tang's divine weapon, and your identity..."

Di Renjie looked up suddenly.

After Li Cunxi's reminder, he suddenly realized.

Yes, identity!

He was Wu Zetian's first case-handling minister and a thorn in the eyes of all anti-Wu elements.

Therefore, when the three major cases occurred at the same time, he became the biggest cancer in the eyes of the group of people in hiding!

If there is no way to kill him, then given his status he will definitely help without hesitation and investigate these cases.

Why were Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi and Zhang Jianzhi not assassinated, but only Di Renjie was assassinated?

Could it be that other people have no ability to investigate the case at all?

Yes, Liang Wang Wu Sansi did not have it, and Zhang Jianzhi was indeed lacking in ability.

However, King Wei Wu Chengsi is not a fool. What Di Renjie can find out, Wu Chengsi can also find out!

"I have to thank you for your reminder, Cunxi. I must strengthen my own protection in the future."

"My identity is too special, so special that not only do my enemies want to kill me secretly, but even some of my colleagues want to get rid of me as soon as possible."

Li Cunxi cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, please remember to take care of yourself. We still need you to save the Li Tang Dynasty."

"Well, Cunxi, what do you think about the memorial service in Taiyuan, the northern capital?"

The examination lasted from morning to night.

Just after giving Di Renjie a reminder, Di Renjie's test came immediately.

"Uncle, in my opinion, sweeping the ancestral temple is fake, and secretly investigating the case is real."

"His Majesty ordered you to pay respects to the ancestral temple. His purpose was nothing more than to test Liang Wang Wu Sansi."

Di Renjie nodded with satisfaction.

My nephew is quite knowledgeable.

"Then can you guess where your uncle is going to investigate the case in secret?"

Di Renjie asked again with a smile.

Li Yuanfang took a sip of tea. After such a long time, he could finally say something.

He said decisively: "Sir, the delegation encountered the thieves in Shihechuan, Gannan Road. You must go to Shihechuan, Gannan Road to investigate the case. Where else can you go?"

"Cunxi, what do you think?" Di Renjie turned to Li Cunxi with a smile.

What Li Yuanfang said just now was something that ordinary people could guess.

After all, to investigate a crime, one naturally has to go to the crime scene.

But Di Renjie is not an ordinary person. How could he investigate a case at a scene that has definitely been cleaned up?

Now, it is just another test for my good nephew Li Cunxi.

Li Cunxi said without hesitation: "People say that my uncle is very intelligent. I guess that my uncle will never go to the crime scene to investigate, but secretly leave the large group of people and go to Youzhou with a small number of elite troops!"

The smile on Di Renjie's face couldn't be concealed at all, just like a blooming chrysanthemum.

He kept nodding his head and said with a smile:

"Okay, okay, I will have someone to succeed me."

"I hope that based on my style of doing things and my methods of solving cases, you can tell that I will never go to Shihechuan in Gannan Road, but will turn around and head for Youzhou."

"I underestimated you before, but you really surprised me this time!"

Li Yuanfang blinked his big innocent eyes.

"Master Cunxi, why did Lord Di want to go to Youzhou?"

"Well..." Li Cunxi leaned back again, "What's the accent of the Qianniu Guard who pretended to convey the emperor's will?"
