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

As an old father, Wu Chengsi cares very much about his sons.

He hoped that all his sons would have a bright future instead of just sitting there and watching the small foundation he had built until it was all gone.

The eldest son Wu Yanji was destined to inherit his position. Among the other sons, only Wu Yanhao made a name for himself by following Li Cunxi. The second son was slightly worse than Wu Yanhao.

Although the other sons have gained experience, their performance is still unsatisfactory.

When Wu Chengsi thought of those useless sons, he suddenly felt dizzy and thought that he should have only had five or six children.

"Go see your mother. She misses you too. You don't come back twice a year. You should stay at home for a few more days this time."

"Got it, Dad." Wu Yanhao stood up, "Then I'll go see my mother."

"Well, let's go."

Wu Yanhao bowed slightly, walked out of the main hall, rubbed the face of Wu Yuanhui who was still shaking his calves, and strode to the backyard.

On the other side, Li Cunxi came to Di Mansion with gifts.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Lu Dayou, who had returned to the Di Mansion, and was chatting with Lu Xiaofeng.

Di Renjie, who had just woken up from his lunch break, laughed, walked forward and looked at Li Cunxi.

"Good, good, what a great Prefect Li, hahahahahaha."

"When the Chongzhou incident happened, you were able to brave the dangers and enter the Turkic region to provide Zhao Wenhui's army with a passage to ensure their safety. You are truly worthy of being my nephew, Di."

"Wow, wow!"

Di Renjie was grinning from ear to ear, he walked up to Li Cunxi and started praising him.

Li Cunxi felt a little flattered by the praise, but he did not forget to raise the gifts in his hand.

"I didn't bring anything with me this time. I just came to visit my uncle and give him a small token of my gratitude."

"You're still bringing things home. You're becoming more and more polite. You don't need to bring those things from the officialdom back home."

Li Cunxi casually placed the snack in his hand on the table and said, "It's just a few bites of snacks. Uncle can just open his mouth and fill it up later."

"Okay, okay, leave it there. Come on." Di Renjie pointed to an empty seat and sat down first. "I heard about what you did in Chongzhou. It was really too dangerous."

"Fortunately, Li Jinzhong and Sun Wanrong withdrew their troops to fight against the five Turkic tribes of Dulu, and the danger in Chongzhou was resolved."

"In my opinion, if Khitan does not surrender to our Great Zhou, there will most likely be another tough battle next year."

"Uncle is absolutely right."

Although Di Renjie was always in Luoyang, he was still very concerned about the war in Chongzhou.

The Khitan had originally surrendered to the Great Zhou, but was forced to survive by Zhao Wenhui, so they launched an invasion without hesitation.

If it weren't for the loyal and dedicated people who risked their lives to stay out in the country, I'm afraid that only one in ten people in Chongzhou would have survived.

Now, even though Li Jinzhong and Sun Wanrong have withdrawn their troops, they are still eyeing Chongzhou.

As long as their famine is not eliminated, they will definitely have a bloody battle with the Great Zhou.

"Cunxi, do you think the war between Khitan and Great Zhou will start again?"

Di Renjie took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.

"Doesn't uncle already have an answer to this question?"

Li Cunxi opened the pastries he brought and asked while eating.

"Then Sun Wanrong may not live to see spring, but Li Jinzhong is still alive, Cunxi."

"Uncle, if Sun Wanrong dies, Li Jinzhong will definitely choose to submit to our Great Zhou again, because they will no longer have the possibility to fight."

"Do you really think so?"

"Uncle, do you know the Great Emperor of Wu, Sun Quan?"

"That's true. Judging from the current situation, the Khitan first invaded our Great Zhou, and then severely defeated the five tribes of Dulu. Isn't it just like the Great Emperor Sun Quan of Wu?"

"Yes, uncle." Li Cunxi was excited. "If Sun Wanrong died and Li Jinzhong was unwilling to be a fence-sitter, then what would happen to the Khitan without the natural barrier of the Yangtze River and the four great governors?"

Di Renjie stroked his beard lightly and nodded slowly.

With his wisdom, it was impossible for him not to guess Khitan's next choice.

After that night of fighting outside Chongzhou city, it was already difficult for Sun Wanrong, who was obviously seriously injured and difficult to recover, to survive until spring. It was a pipe dream to expect him to live until autumn harvest.

Under the planning of Sun Wanrong, the Khitan side plundered the five Turkic Duolu tribes, and the war on the grassland would soon turn into a war.

This is a fight that only belongs to the people of the grassland. Neither Jili Khan nor Li Jinzhong would send envoys to the Great Zhou before Sun Wanrong's death.

As for the Great Zhou, from the moment Sun Wanrong took the initiative to provoke a war with the Turks, it had become the beneficiary who could make any choice.

Lu Dayou was listening and shaking his head, saying:

"That's exactly what it should be, that's exactly what it should be!"

"It seems that I am still not capable enough. I should learn from the two gentlemen to have such vision."

Di Renjie heard this and said with a smile:

"Dayou is now also a Qianniu Beishen, a sixth-rank official. He has everything. The only thing he lacks is experience. If he spends more time with Cunxi, it will only be a matter of time before he improves."

Li Cunxi was stunned by Di Renjie's compliment.

Since when did he receive such a high evaluation from Di Renjie?

All I have relied on along the way is my understanding of Shen Di's worldview and the plot.

The number of times he has truly relied on his real talents and knowledge to solve problems...seems to be limited to the weak spots in Chongzhou City?

Apart from that there seems to be nothing.

How come he is praised so highly by these people?

Li Cunxi thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out.

He has been copying others all the time and has been surrounded by good luck all the way.

In this way, he successfully became the number one young talent in the Great Zhou in the eyes of these people.

Thinking of this, Li Cunxi's mouth corners raised.

"I don't have any ability at all. I was just praised by outsiders and raised up."

Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "Cunxi, don't underestimate yourself. If you really don't have real talent and knowledge, how could His Majesty let you climb to this position?"

"Perhaps, the fact that I have real talent and knowledge is the biggest misunderstanding of me by the world?"

"Although I don't understand why you have been belittling yourself since the Chongzhou case, I want to tell you that you are definitely the smartest young man I have ever met. You have contributed to the victory over the Khitan. Once you capture Xiao Qingfang, His Majesty will definitely reward you handsomely."

Li Cunxi stopped moving his hands, and the piece of cake stopped in front of his lips.

"Uncle, do you also know that His Majesty asked me to find out the whereabouts of Xiao Qingfang?"

"I have already guessed what I should have guessed. I'm afraid you will surpass me this time."

Di Renjie stroked his long beard and guessed what position Li Cunxi would be in next.

That is the supreme position, a position that only the crown prince-to-be is qualified to covet.

Henan Prefecture Governor!

Di Renjie's eyes glowed with passion: "Cunxi, you will soon be the governor of Henan!"
