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

Wu Zetian nodded with satisfaction, and then signaled the palace servant to present the letter.

After reading the letter carefully, Wu Zetian held it in her hand without changing her expression.

However, judging from the blue discoloration on her joints, it was clear that she was definitely not as calm as she appeared.

Finally, she put down the letter, without changing her expression, and asked:

"How much do you believe Cunxi's letter?"

"This concerns a matter of national importance. My minister and I dare not trust him personally, so we went to the palace to meet Your Majesty at night!" Wu Chengsi replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"You two should get up, Chengsi and Chengye. I know you are loyal to me, which is good, but what Cunxi said is not without reason. Unfortunately, something big happened in the court, and there were incidents such as surveillance of the Di Mansion and suicide of the assassins."

"Your Majesty, there are treacherous people in the court, but there are also loyal ministers and good generals! Your Majesty, please start with my two brothers and investigate this matter thoroughly!"

"No, I won't check!"

Wu Zetian was quite tired, with worry filling her brows.

"You guys go back, and leave this letter with me."

Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi had already applied their eye drops and knew that there was no benefit in staying here, so they bowed and left Ganlu Palace.

As soon as the two men left, Zhang Yizhi stepped forward and massaged Wu Zetian's temples.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

"The letter is right here, you will know after you read it yourself." Wu Zetian sighed, "Fenghuang, Xu Shide, come out."

Two figures walked out from the shadows, one was a young and elegant girl with murderous eyes, and the other was a middle-aged man who was always smiling.

"His Majesty!"

The two of them bowed together.

"Xu Shide, how are you doing with the things I asked you to do?"

"In reply to your Majesty, I am still doing my best."

"Then go back and do your work. Fenghuang, take your people to Taiyuan to conduct a secret investigation. If you really find out that the assassins have any relationship with any minister in the court, you must not conceal it."

"Yes!"

Wu Zetian let out a breath, and her eyes gradually became cold.

Naturally, she would not easily believe Li Cunxi's one-sided words, but she could not completely disbelieve it either.

What has happened is the best proof.

No matter whether those assassins are actually ministers in the court, she has to investigate it thoroughly.

If it really has something to do with my good nephew...

It’s not impossible for there to be a few more headless corpses in Chang’an’s Caishikou.

"Your Majesty, the talent of this Mr. Li is probably not much worse than that of Mr. Di."

Zhang Yizhi, who had already read the entire letter, couldn't help but praise it.

He is also a man of letters, but he is just a man of letters.

He is able to have his current status because of his identity as a scholar.

If he were asked to become an official, it would be absolutely impossible for him because he simply does not have the real talent and knowledge to be an official.

However, Li Cunxi had only stayed in Bingzhou for a few days, but he came to such a horrifying conclusion based on such a small amount of information, which was enough to shock people.

"Do you think that there really is someone in the court monitoring Di Huaiying's family so that they can take action in the future?"

"I am a concubine and I dare not participate in government affairs."

"Well, help me lie down. Although Chengsi has ruined my mood, it's still early."

Zhang Yizhi understood what he meant and helped Wu Zetian to the bed, then undressed and did what he had not yet finished.

……

After searching the governor's mansion all night, they found nothing.

After searching all the necessary places, the Qianniu Guards still couldn't find the so-called imprisoned person.

Hu Jinghui returned to the Governor's Mansion and began to mislead Di Renjie's thoughts according to the original plan.

"Sir, Cunxi, since this man is a fake governor, then the real governor should have been assassinated. Is it really possible that he is still alive?"

"Jinghui, I have thought about what you said, but Cunxi was in the governor's mansion at that time, and he tricked the fake Fangqian into committing suicide. I think the fake Fangqian would not deliberately deceive Cunxi." Di Renjie paced back and forth in the main hall, "I have a hunch that the person detained by the fake Fangqian must be the real Fangqian!"

Li Cunxi sat aside, still eating a bag of mung bean cakes.

There is no need to mislead in the analysis of Di Renjie now.

He and Hu Jinghui had agreed that Fang Qian, who was under the treasury, would wait until everyone arrived at the governor's mansion, and the two of them would give clues along the way and let Di Renjie find out the problem himself.

Unexpectedly, Di Renjie suddenly looked at Li Cunxi and said:

"The governor is the head of a region, and Youzhou is a top state. The governor is a third-rank official. The people behind Fang Qian can easily replace the governor. How powerful is that?"

"Two-thirds of Youzhou's military and political officials have submitted to him, and Cunxi has not been able to figure out who the people behind the scenes, Jin Mulan and Viper, are."

"The purpose of Jin Mulan, the person behind him, is to control Youzhou. What is the purpose of controlling Youzhou?"

Hu Jinghui beside him guessed: "Maybe he is trying to establish his own power and fight against the imperial court."

Li Cunxi swallowed the mung bean cake and said calmly: "It's impossible. With only the power of Youzhou, it is absolutely impossible to compete with the Twelve Guards of the Imperial Court. Doing this is undoubtedly like hitting a rock with an egg!"

"What's going on?" Hu Jinghui asked puzzled.

Li Cunxi secretly said, "It's so realistic," and then said, "There is only one possibility. If their purpose is to rebel, then other states may have been infiltrated by Jin Mulan's people."

"I don't think we can find anything now, let's pack up!"

……

The next day, Li Cunxi got up early.

Now that I don’t need to see the emperor, I don’t have to worry so much. I can finally let my hair down after having tied it up for so long.

Walking leisurely in the garden of the Governor's Mansion, I ran into Qiao Tai who was holding a bag of mung bean cakes.

"Sir, you must not have woken up yet. I went to the morning market early this morning and bought this for you."

Qiao Tai raised the mung bean cake in his hand and smiled brightly.

"Very good Qiao Tai, open it."

"Okay, sir, please sit down in the pavilion."

Qiao Tai led Li Cunxi to the pavilion, sat him on a stone bench, opened the oil paper bag and placed it on the stone table.

Since arriving in Youzhou, I have been eating mung bean cake to my heart's content.

"According to the date, Ma Rong should have delivered the letter by now, and he and Tao Gan should be meeting soon."

"It should be, sir."

"Atai, do you want to eat some mung bean cake?"

"Uh, no need, Sir, take your time eating, I'll eat this."

Qiao Tai actually took out another oil paper bag from his arms, and inside it was a roast chicken.

"Ouch!"

Qiao Tai opened his bloody mouth and bit the chicken's butt.

"I advise you to tear off the two chicken legs and hand them to me."

Li Cunxi gritted his teeth.

"Wow, sir, I want to eat chicken legs today too."

"Here you go!"

The two were eating in the pavilion. Calculating the time, it was only around 12:00 a.m.

Converted to later times, it would be just over six o'clock.

At this time of day, if nothing happened, Li Cunxi should still be playing chess with Zhou Gong in his dream.
