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

By the time Wu Sansi reacted, Wu Zetian had already left the Linde Hall.

All the ministers surrounded Li Cunxi and congratulated him for a long time.

Li Cunxi perfunctorily managed to get out and stand with Wu Yanhao and Lu Dayou.

As soon as he walked out of the Linde Hall, he was faced with two small groups. On one side was Li's old ministers and the prince's party, and on the other side was Wu Chengsi, Wu Yizong and their accomplices.

Li Cunxi walked over and bowed to each of them one by one, not daring to be careless at all.

"Congratulations, Li Fumu." Wu Yizong suddenly smiled, "From now on, you will be the head of all officials."

Li Cunxi laughed dryly: "I dare not, I dare not, I am a junior student, I still need to learn a lot from you gentlemen."

"Henan Prefecture Governor is less than 17 years old. In front of Li Prefecture Governor, if we don't have some connections, I'm afraid that except for Chengsi, everyone else can only call him a subordinate."

Wu Yizong stroked his long beard and smiled to himself.

Although he now holds the position of general, he is only of the third rank.

Among the officials of this dynasty, except Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi who were of the second rank, Li Cunxi was the governor of Henan Prefecture who was of the second rank.

The highest rank of the remaining officials was the third rank. Di Renjie was so powerful, but he was only the third rank internal historian.

After everyone joked a few words, they were about to leave. Wu Chengsi took Wu Yanhao away, saying that he wanted to hold a banquet to entertain his family and celebrate for Wu Yanhao first.

Li Cunxi and Lu Dayou followed Di Renjie back to Di Mansion and had to make some arrangements.

It was already noon when the imperial edict was delivered. Li Cunxi and Lu Dayou received the edict and officially assumed their new official positions.

Some were happy and some were sad. In Prince Liang's mansion, Wu Sansi hurried back, rushed into the study, and saw two secretaries reading.

One is Yuzhou and the other is called "prisoner".

"Oh no! At the grand court meeting today, His Majesty promoted Li Cunxi to be the governor of Henan Prefecture, which means he can truly be on an equal footing with me. Moreover, he has indeed taken over the investigation of the case of Xiao Qingfang, the leader of the Snake Spirit Rebellion."

Yu Zhou put down the book in his hand and asked, "Didn't you take the opportunity to ask him to sign a military order, giving him three days to find out the whereabouts of Xiao Qingfang?"

"I, I forgot..." Wu Sansi felt a little guilty.

"You useless thing, you can even forget such a small thing, what else can't you forget?" the prisoner said in a loud voice.

"That's right. If you can't even handle such a small matter, what else can you do well?" Yu Zhou slammed the book on the table. "What is Li Cunxi's current official position?"

"Uh, Henan Prefecture Governor..."

"anything else?"

"Lead the Jin Zi Guang Lu Doctor."

"What? More?"

"The official is the same as the Prime Minister of Fengge Luantai."

Yu Zhou sat down and rolled his eyes at Wu Sansi: "You can't beat Li Cunxi after all. Before, his influence was insignificant and you could frame him however you wanted. What about now?"

The prisoner leaned against the bookshelf, his face grim. "That's right. Li Cunxi is now vaguely the head of all officials. Any official with eyesight can see his promotion. He has completely become the hope of the Li family."

Yu Zhou crossed his legs and said, "Yes, Li Cunxi has become the hope of the Li family, and has also become the head of all officials. From now on, no matter how you frame him, you will never succeed, because His Majesty will not believe your false accusations."

Yu Zhou and the prisoner looked at each other, and their disappointment in Wu Sansi was evident in their words.

This King Liang is no different from a useless dog. He can't do anything and has no food left.

If you can't even handle such a small thing, what else can you do?

"Gentlemen, what should I do?"

Wu Sansi was humiliated and his face looked much uglier.

With a cold face, he looked at these two so-called masters who could be killed by him at any time.

"Oh, what should I do?"

"Let me put it bluntly. You don't have many chances left. All you have to do now is be careful."

"When there is a chance to frame Li Cunxi next time, you will go all out and slander him without leaving any room for doubt, and defeat Li Cunxi in one fell swoop."

"King Liang, you must know that the higher you climb, the harder you fall."

A look of arrogance emerged on Yu Zhou's face, and he looked down upon Wu Sansi even more.

"Alright."

Wu Sansi walked away, accepting this best solution at the moment.

Yu Zhou watched Wu Sansi leave and turned to the prisoners on the side.

"Sir, you look more and more familiar to me. You were called a prisoner by King Liang. I guess you were a real prisoner before you came here, right?"

The prisoner glanced at Yu Zhou indifferently, pulled out a chair, and sat down with his arms and legs spread.

"Let me reason this out."

Yu Zhou pulled over a chair and sat opposite the prisoner.

"Don't try to find out my true identity. I'm afraid you will die without a burial place."

"A ghost like me who died in the dust of history should remain anonymous forever."

The prisoner closed his eyes and his voice was calm.

Yu Zhou shook his head and said:

"But I don't think you are someone who would be willing to remain anonymous."

"A prisoner who was able to enter the Prince of Liang's mansion, offend the Prince of Liang repeatedly, and finally survive to this day."

"There are only a handful of people like this in the Great Zhou."

The prisoner opened his eyes, squinted them, and stared at Yu Zhou.

His identity had been buried in the dust, and he didn't believe that this young debater would know his name.

Yu Zhou picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, then said:

"I heard that there was a descendant of the Li family in the past. He lost his father when he was an infant and his brother when he was a child. He studied hard for ten years and finally completed his studies. After entering the officialdom, he was first named Duke of Liang County and served successively as Jieshizhong and Changshi of Yizhou."

"After your majesty took power, this heir of the Li family was appointed as the general of the Left Jinwu Guard and was deeply trusted by your majesty."

"In the first year of Guangzhai, Duke Ying started a rebellion. This descendant of the Li family served as the General of the Left Yuqin Guard and the Chief of the Yangzhou Road Army, and suppressed the rebellion of Duke Ying Xu Jingye."

"According to rumors, Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian was coerced by Xu Jingye and eventually died in the chaos of the army... He was killed by this descendant of the Li family and presented to Your Majesty. Your Majesty was very happy and promoted this descendant of the Li family to the rank of General of the Zhenjun Army and General of the Left Guard, and conferred him the title of Duke of Wu."

"Two years later, in the second year of Chuigong, this heir of the Li clan was framed by Wei Wang Wu Chengsi and exiled to Danzhou, where he died on the way."

The prisoner had no expression on his face and just listened to Yu Zhou's story calmly.

Yu Zhou felt a little dry in the mouth, so he took another sip of tea and said word by word:

"You are the heir of the Li family, the General of the Zhen Army, the General of the Left Guard, and the Duke of Wu, Li Xiaoyi."

The prisoner licked his lips and a strange expression appeared on his face.

He stood up slowly, and a hint of ferocity appeared in his dead eyes.

"I really didn't expect that there is someone who knows my name."

"But you are wrong about one thing, but I am not going to help you correct your thoughts."

"Tell me, who sent you?"
