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

The interaction today was so smooth, so smooth that both Fang Qian and Wu Yizi felt that there was something fishy going on.

Di Renjie, contrary to his usual behavior, not only improved his temper towards the two of them, but even wanted them to accompany him to various scenic spots in Youzhou.

However, when Fang Qian wanted to hint at the issue of the compensation, Di Renjie ignored it on the grounds of "not discussing official business", which made the two of them realize that Zhao Chuanchen was related to the matter.

In all likelihood, Di Renjie knew the real situation and tried to delay time to obtain more evidence.

Thinking of this, Fang Qian stood up and said goodbye.

Di Renjie took a sip of tea, looked at the two men's backs, and sneered:

"Come out, Di Chun."

Di Chun, who was pretending to be Zhao Chuanchen, came out cheerfully, stood in front of Di Renjie, and said honestly, "Master, do you think I look okay in my costume as the county magistrate?"

Di Renjie smiled, put down the tea bowl and said, "It's just enough. Quickly change out of your official uniform and order the Qianniu Guards to escort Zhao Chuanchen back to Sanhe County. Don't mess up Cunxi's plan."

"Yes, sir."

Di Chun flicked his sleeves and went into the inner room to change his clothes.

"Cunxi is only in the governor's mansion with Qiao Tai. I hope nothing will go wrong. His sting operation is too dangerous. Otherwise, should I send Jinghui to protect him secretly?"

"Well, if Cunxi doesn't send any news, even if I secretly send Jinghui to help, something might go wrong, and tonight is a critical moment. Whatever, Qiao Tai is also an expert, and I'm not afraid of anything bad happening if he protects Cunxi!"

……

Youzhou Governor's Office.

Li Cunxi was reading a book, and on the plate was some mung bean cake that he had not finished eating.

Just now, seeing that his young master was unwilling to rest, Qiao Tai had to resist the urge to sleep and go out to the morning market to buy some mung bean cakes as a snack for his young master.

Seeing that Qiao Tai was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, Li Cunxi let him rest.

I was flipping through the Analects in my hand when I suddenly heard some noise outside. Then I saw Fang Qian and Wu Yizi rushing in without even knocking.

"It's a disaster, sir, it's a disaster!"

Fang Qian spoke anxiously, and when he looked up he saw Li Cunxi's gloomy expression.

"Sir, I know I was wrong, I slap my face, I slap my face!"

"Wait, tell me, what's the trouble? Has Zhao Chuanchen already betrayed you?"

"How did you know, sir?"

"Humph, you were the one who promoted Zhao Chuanchen. It's your fault that he's so unreliable!"

Li Cunxi stood up, his eyes filled with anger.

A feeling of awe-inspiring power made Fang Qian kneel down quickly and kowtow repeatedly to beg for mercy.

"Master, Master!"

"I don't know either, sir. I was indeed the one who promoted Zhao Chuanchen, but I didn't know he would actually betray me on his own initiative, sir!"

Li Cunxi leaned back in his chair, pretending to look heavy.

"If it's as I expected, Zhao Chuanchen has confessed and will not stay in the Governor's Office for long. Di Renjie has ordered people to send him back to the Sanhe County Office and send people to protect him."

"Yes, if he has confessed and talked with Di Renjie all night, at least he can get some benefits now. The best case scenario is that he will be reinstated after this case and continue to serve as the magistrate of Sanhe County."

"so what?"

"So Di Renjie let him go back to handle Sanhe County affairs, and sent people to protect him because he was afraid that something might go wrong!"

Li Cunxi hummed, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then picked up a piece of mung bean cake and put it in his mouth.

This mung bean cake is so delicious and so damn sweet.

Outside, a constable rushed in, his knees went weak and he knocked his head to the ground.

"Report to the Lord, not long after you left, Zhao Chuanchen was escorted to Sanhe County by the Qianniu Guards."

Fang Qian and Wu Yizheng looked at each other.

There is no need to confirm anything anymore. Zhao Chuanchen has already rebelled. This is a fact.

"Go out." Wu Yizhi waited for the person to leave and quickly closed the door. "What should I do now?"

"No wonder Di Renjie was so nice to us today. It turns out he wanted to confuse us so he could act secretly." Fang Qian gritted his teeth.

"This old fox!" Wu Yizi said with disgust.

"If it's just a few hundred thousand yuan in compensation, it's not so bad." Li Cunxi took a sip of tea and turned the pages of the book in his hand. "If Zhao Chuanchen tells the story of Tianbao Bank and implicates Jin Mulan, let's see how you two will end up!"

Fang Qian had just stood up, but upon hearing this, he immediately knelt down again.

At this point, they have absolutely nothing to hide.

"Please help me, sir. I am willing to repay your kindness with my life!"

"Why, do you want to pledge allegiance to me? You know that Jin Mulan is your master."

"Master, please, Master, we have no way out."

"You all know the rules of the Snake Spirit. You have no way out, but I do have a way out. I was trained by the leader as the heir. I have a bright future. Why should I waste my life here with you?"

"We are short-sighted and didn't know your great kindness. We offended you that day, and I hope you will forgive us! But Jin Mulan and you are in the same group after all, so helping your own family..."

"You are such a silver tongue! You must know that the snake spirits are not all from the same family! This Jin Mulan was left behind by the old master, and the leader has no direct management power over her. But what you said is true, so whatever... you should immediately send someone to Sanhe County to assassinate her after dark."

Fang Qian saw Li Cunxi's arrogant appearance, but he didn't expect that he was such a stupid person.

He curled his lips in disdain, tilted his head to the side and made eye contact with his trusted confidant Wu Yizi.

"This young master is not good!"

"Sir, the Master is watching you."

Fang Qian was surprised and quickly looked at Li Cunxi.

Li Cunxi seemed to be smiling, holding the mung bean cake to his lips, slowly biting it and chewing it, with a strange look in his eyes.

After swallowing the mung bean cake in his mouth, Li Cunxi slowly put down half of the mung bean cake in his hand, carefully wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, and then turned his gaze back to Fang Qian who was kneeling on the ground.

"Do you think that I, the heir of the Snake Spirit, am a fool?"

"I don't use so many good strategies, but only choose this strategy of killing people to silence them and give Di Renjie an excuse?"

"You know that a man cannot be a hero without poison. Killing Di Renjie secretly would certainly alert the other party, but Zhao Chuanchen is already dead, so there is no evidence!"

"Even if he has great abilities, what can he do? Can he capture you, a third-rank governor of a higher state, and behead you on the spot to apologize for your crime?"

Fang Qian suddenly realized.

It turns out that instead of using any other strategy, they resorted to this strategy of killing people to silence them, just to leave no evidence!

And this just fits the modus operandi of the snake spirits!

"Young Master is worthy of being the successor chosen by the leader, he is so smart!" Fang Qian gave a thumbs up, his eyes full of admiration.

"Since you understand what to do, then you don't need me to teach you how to send out assassins, right?" Li Cunxi said, "Why don't you go now?"
