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

When they walked out of Taichu Palace, Li Cunxi and Wu Yanhao were basically hungry.

The two men looked at each other and squatted at the foot of the city wall, not knowing which way to go.

After a few minutes, Huang Shengyan, the head of the Inner Guard Bureau, came over with Fenghuang, who was also a head of the bureau.

Since Xiao Qingfang left, she also took away two of the eight original cabinet leaders of the Inner Guard Bureau.

Among the remaining few pavilion leaders, there is also a demon spirit, who, at the level of a snake spirit, is Xiao Qingfang's man.

The remaining five cabinet leaders are already implicitly led by the next grand cabinet leader, Huang Shengyan.

"Master Li, you are finally back in Beijing."

Huang Shengyan greeted him when they met and wanted to smile, but he only showed a bitter smile.

He felt very bitter. Xiao Qingfang, whom he had followed for so many years, turned out to be the leader of the Snake Spirit. If he had not been loyal to Wu Zetian, he would have been arrested as an accomplice.

"Huang Ge Ling should be happy. After all, I, Li Cunxi, have returned to Luoyang. After the grand court meeting tomorrow, I can naturally take on this task and start investigating Xiao Qingfang's whereabouts."

Li Cunxi suddenly smiled.

"Huang Ge Ling, after the grand court meeting tomorrow, I should call you the Grand Ge Ling, right?"

Huang Shengyan was cheered up.

The only thing worth being happy about recently seems to be that I am about to become the Grand Chief of the Inner Guards Department.

"I will never forget the kindness Lord Li has shown me." Huang Shengyan said, "I will definitely beat him with a whip that has been touched by cold water!"

As soon as these slogan-like words were spoken, Li Cunxi immediately understood what was going on.

He and Huang Shengyan briefly looked at each other and said:

"Huang Geling and I are friends. There is no such thing as favor or disfavor between friends. Your Majesty has ordered me to investigate this matter, so Huang Geling should put his heart at ease. Huang Geling is well aware of my abilities."

Huang Shengyan cupped his hands, a flash of gratitude in his eyes.

"Master Li, I will go to the palace to meet the emperor. After the grand court meeting tomorrow, I will definitely assist Master Li in investigating the case with all my heart."

After seeing Huang Shengyan off, Li Cunxi stood up and brushed the dust off the corners of his clothes.

Wu Yanhao, who had been silent all the time, also stood up, opened and closed his mouth, wanting to say something but not saying it.

Li Cunxi said calmly: "Brother Yanhao, when did you become so reserved in front of me?"

"I'm afraid this case is difficult to solve. Your Majesty means that Xiao Qingfang is hiding and no one can find her. If you rashly take over, I'm afraid..."

"Hmm? What do you mean I should take over rashly? Don't forget, His Majesty asked you and me to investigate. How can you get away with it?"

Wu Yanhao was a little speechless, and simply lowered his head: "What I mean is, we have to be careful of Xiao Qingfang. She will do anything to achieve her goals, and she might even take your life... and my life at a critical moment."

"Look, you've subconsciously left me aside again, right?" Li Cunxi raised his eyebrows, "Where can I find a good brother like you who leaves you aside when something happens?"

"No, you heard it wrong." Wu Yanhao denied it flatly, "But we now know the general situation. If we want to investigate Xiao Qingfang, we have to wait until after the grand court meeting tomorrow. Then we have to call everyone along."

"You probably thought the same thing as I did, wanting to use the four snake heads to lure Xiao Qingfang out, right?"

"Yes."

Li Cunxi suddenly laughed and looked at the carriage that had been waiting on the roadside.

"That's it, everyone go back to your homes, and we'll see you in Palace Yunsu before the grand court meeting tomorrow."

Wu Yanhao waved his hand and got into Lao Hei's luxurious carriage which had been waiting nearby.

When he returned to the mansion, it was almost noon. Li Cunxi was led by Xuguzi to the main hall.

As soon as he sat down, he saw the Western dancer sent by the King of Wei when he first came to Luoyang came in and started striptease without waiting for Li Cunxi's instructions.

How could Li Cunxi, who has been a vegetarian for years, resist such an exciting temptation? He almost couldn't take his eyes away.

Suddenly, a strong man strode in from outside the door and shouted angrily:

"Xuguzi, what the hell are you doing?"

"If you do this, aren't you afraid that Madam will beat you to death after she enters your house?"

The person who came in was Ma Rong who had just returned from outside. When he saw Li Cunxi watching a bathing striptease and it was about to reach the critical moment, he immediately yelled.

The legs of those Western dancers suddenly went weak and they almost fell to the ground. They narrowly escaped death, but they could no longer maintain their dancing posture.

"Master Butler."

A dancer from the Western Regions saw who was coming and shuddered with fear.

In the past, when Xuguzi, the old pervert, was the only one in the house, Xuguzi naturally had the final say. But as soon as Li Cunxi came back, Xuguzi's say was not even as strong as Qiao Tai's, let alone Ma Rong's.

"Everyone, get off the stage now. Don't do any striptease in the future. Otherwise, if the ladies find out, they'll think you're trying to climb up the social ladder."

The dancers quickly put on their clothes and ran outside.

Xuguzi was stunned for a moment and said in surprise:

"How many ladies?"

"No, several ladies?"

Ma Rong stood beside Li Cunxi and said:

"Yes, there are indeed several ladies."

"But as far as I know, there are already two or three of them now."

Xuguzi's expression froze.

The master of our family has been away for only over a year, but he already has several wives.

How is this so awesome?

Li Cunxi paused, not knowing what to say.

Does he have a wife?

If Xiaomei is included, there is only one. How did these several ladies come to this conclusion?

"Master, you are still young, it is better for you to watch less of this kind of things."

"By the way, I checked around the city and found a very strange place." Ma Rong said mysteriously.

Li Cunxi held his chin with his hand and put the graceful dance moves of the Western dancer behind his mind.

"speak."

"Yes, Patriarch, I found that when Xiao Qingfang led his men to leave the Inner Guard House that day, they were stopped by the night patrol soldiers."

"Oh? Really? What happened next?"

"Xiao Qingfang's subordinates killed six people in a row and then disappeared collectively. The last place they disappeared was in the west of the city. The body of the patrol soldier was not found until the next morning and was sent to the Luozhou Governor's Mansion. After that, people were only allowed to enter Luoyang but not leave."

Li Cunxi rubbed his chin, thought for a while, and said: "It seems that I can conclude that Xiao Qingfang and her subordinates are definitely not in the east of Luoyang City."

“Given the cautious attitude of these people, they will never stay in the east of the city and wait to be searched house by house to find them.”

"So, where should they be?" Li Cunxi stood up. "Ma Rong, prepare the car. I need to go to my uncle's place and pay my respects to him. Xuguzi, get some gifts. I need to give them to my uncle to show my filial piety."

At this moment, in the Prince of Wei's Mansion, Wu Yanhao walked into the vermilion lacquered gate under the protection of Lao Hei and took a deep breath.

The scent of plum blossoms wafted into his brain from his nose, what a refreshing fragrance.

"Brother, long time no see."

Looking at Wu Yanji standing in the yard, Wu Yanhao said softly.
