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

"My Lord, think about this: the villagers on the execution platform are all from Daliushu Village. Apart from these rebels, who else would be willing to risk their lives to come to our rescue?"

"Is it?"

"My Lord, these rioters are really abominable."

"Oh, change clothes, let's go to the north gate."

Di Renjie turned around and prepared to enter the room.

Wu Yizi, who was following behind Fang Qian, felt a pang in his heart.

If Di Renjie went to the north gate and found nothing, it would be fine. But if he found any clues, all their performance tonight would be in vain.

Thinking of this, he took a step forward and grabbed the corner of Fang Qian's clothes.

Fang Qian paused for a moment, then quickly stopped him and said:

"Sir, the rebels have just been repelled. If you go to the north gate now, I'm afraid it will be dangerous."

Di Renjie stopped, turned around, and smiled meaningfully:

"When the riot just started, Lord Fang rushed to me, which shows how diligent he is. As an imperial envoy, how dare I neglect him? No need to say more, everyone follow me to the north gate immediately!"

Li Cunxi took a deep look at Fang Qian, walked down the stairs, and as he passed by him, he lowered his voice and said:

"idiot!"

Without waiting for Fang Qian to speak, Li Cunxi walked around the crowd, returned to his room, quickly changed his clothes, and went out.

Still wearing silk attire, this time it was a white robe.

Although wearing white makes you look clean these days, it also gets dirty easily.

If you wear white on a rainy day, expect your servants to curse you to death behind your back.

After tidying up, Li Cunxi walked out of the room.

Di Renjie was still giving orders: "Master Fang, prepare the horses!"

"I understand the humble position!"

Everyone walked out of the governor's mansion. The horses were already prepared. Everyone mounted their horses, with Hu Jinghui leading the way, and they all headed towards the north gate.

In half a cup of tea, everyone arrived outside the north gate.

The rebellious villagers on the execution platform had long disappeared, and there were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground.

After a brief inspection of the scene and using a handkerchief to make a rubbing of a bloody horseshoe print, Di Renjie came to the execution platform.

"What a powerful mob."

Di Renjie came to the conclusion after just a quick look at the wound of a soldier.

"Mr. Li, did you see anything?"

He stood up slowly and glanced at Li Cunxi who had been following him.

"What a powerful mob."

Li Cunxi raised his head and repeated what he had just said.

The two looked at each other, and the deep meaning was self-evident.

Idiot Fang Qian, you are just acting like an idiot to us!

"Sir, a surviving soldier saw the group of rioters." Fang Qian walked behind Di Renjie and said.

"Bring it here." Di Renjie no longer intended to believe Fang Qian's lies, but he still wanted to see what Fang Qian was going to do.

"Bring it up."

"As ordered!"

Within a few breaths, a middle-aged soldier with a round face and beard walked to the execution platform, came to Di Renjie and bowed.

"grown ups."

"What's your name?"

"Villain Wang Xiaoer?"

"What did you see?"

"A group of rioters came from the north gate with knives and guns in their hands."

"how many people?"

"About three or four hundred people."

Di Renjie remained calm and asked, "Are we all walking?"

Wang Xiaoer thought for a moment and said, "Yes!"

"Why don't you resist?"

"To answer your Excellency, we resisted, but we were outnumbered."

"You are the only one who survived?"

"Yes."

Li Cunxi, who was standing next to him, couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

This Wang Xiaoer was so stupid that he had already agreed on the words with Fang Qian in advance. But when he came in front of Di Renjie, he was treated like a plowing ox and was led astray in all kinds of ways.

Putting aside other things, just this last question, he was a soldier who survived by chance and had just been discovered. How could he know whether others were alive or dead?

Di Renjie turned to Fang Qian and ordered, "Take this man back to the mansion. I need to ask him about the situation later."

Fang Qian thought it was safe, and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he nodded quickly and said, "Yes."

……

Early in the morning of the second day, the Qianniu Guards arrived at Youzhou City, and the eight military leaders who led the team went to the governor's mansion to wait for orders.

Di Renjie was worried about the Youzhou Governor's Mansion being patrolled by Youzhou soldiers, so he arranged for Hu Jinghui to order the Qianniu Guards to guard it strictly.

As soon as he finished his work, Di Renjie called Fang Qian and Wu Yizheng to his residence.

The servant brought the tea and placed it on the table beside Fang Qian and Wu Yizi.

"I wonder why the Lord is calling us two?"

After sitting there for a whole cup of tea, Di Renjie didn't ask anything, which made Fang Qian, who had something to hide, feel a little tormented, so he had to take the initiative to ask.

Di Renjie took a sip of tea, glanced at Fang Qian calmly, and said:

"Please wait a moment, Governor Fang. I have invited someone else. He should be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Cunxi walked in with deliberate square steps.

Li Cunxi had just learned this thing for less than a month, so naturally his walk was even worse than Prince Liang's.

But I'll just use it for now.

Walking into the hall, Li Cunxi bowed and said:

"Greetings to Lord Di, and greetings to Lord Governor."

"I wonder why Lord Di called me here?"

Anyway, he pretended not to know him. Li Cunxi represented the disciple of King Wei at the moment, so Di Renjie was not so polite. He pointed to the empty chair next to him and said:

"Please sit down. I will ask you something later."

Li Cunxi bowed and sat on the empty chair.

Soon, the servant brought another bowl of tea.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Di Renjie glanced at Fang Qian with his narrow eyes.

"Master Fang, I wonder which county this Daliushu Village is under the jurisdiction of?"

"To answer your question, it is Sanhe County."

"Oh." Di Renjie's eyes moved slightly, "Sir Fang, you and I are the shepherds of the heaven, we should fulfill our duties and take good care of the people, only in this way can we live up to the emperor's trust."

"That's how it should be."

"Master Fang, I visited Daliushu Village and found that the villagers there had no land or food to eat. How could they gather together to rebel and gather in the mountains when the people's lives were so difficult?"

He would never take the blame for such a big pot, even if it was Fang Qian who did it.

His mind raced as Fang Qian immediately thought of an excuse.

"Sir, you are wronging me. The villagers of Daliushu Village refused to obey the king and were always cunning and stubborn. Two years ago, the Turks broke into the city, and they betrayed the country and helped the tyrant..."

Li Cunxi took a sip of tea and interrupted Fang Qian:

"Master Fang, didn't you hear what Master Di said? Master Di has already been to Daliushu Village."

"Why are you still speaking so eloquently here?"

"Don't you think that you, the Lord, who has visited various places personally, would not know whether what you said is true or false?"

"What's your intention in trying to evade the Lord with such words?"

Fang Qian still had a lot of words in his mind to slander the villagers of Daliushu Village, but he hadn't had time to say them out loud.

Although he was dissatisfied when he was interrupted by Li Cunxi at this moment, the anger in his heart was extinguished when he thought that the other party still had the golden token of King Wei of the Wu family in his hand.

He smiled awkwardly and asked Li Cunxi:

"I wonder what Mr. Li means by this?"
