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

The next day.

Early in the morning, Li Cunxi was awakened by the noise outside.

He yawned, got up from the bed, and asked with his eyes closed:

"Who is it? You don't rest so early in the morning. You keep me awake. Do you have any sense of public morality? Ah, Brother Jinghui, why are you here?"

Li Cunxi sniffed, stopped talking in time, and looked at Hu Jinghui who was standing beside his bed.

Hu Jinghui pursed his lips, tilted his head toward the outside, and said:

"Your subordinate Ma Rong, who was delivering the letter to the capital for you, has returned and is waiting outside. The master has called you to the main hall to discuss matters. Everyone is waiting for you there."

Li Cunxi quickly put on his shirt and long sleeves, stood in front of the mirror and hesitated for a moment, but decided to tie his hair up.

Of course, he was not old enough to tie his hair up, but the last time he went to Chang'an to pay homage to Wu Zetian, he was afraid that Wu Zetian would be beheaded for her indecent appearance, so he tied his hair up and waited.

This time, he was facing his majesty again, and it was not elegant to have disheveled hair.

"Sir, this is herbal tea, drink it and rinse your mouth."

When Ma Rong saw Li Cunxi stand up, he pushed aside Qiao Tai who was carrying a tea bowl, and took the initiative to hold the tea bowl and handed it to Li Cunxi.

"Well, it wasn't easy for you either. You've been gone for so many days and just came back. You missed a lot of wonderful things."

"Really? Then Atai, you have to tell me."

"How did a rough man like A-Tai know that? Come to my room tonight and I'll tell you about it."

"All right, sir."

Li Cunxi straightened his clothes in front of the bronze mirror, then followed Hu Jinghui to the main hall.

In the main hall, Di Renjie, Jili Khan, Li Yuanfang were all there, as well as Lu Dayou who had just returned from Xiaolianzi Mountain.

After greeting everyone one by one, Li Cunxi finally stood beside Di Renjie.

"Mr. Li, there is no need to be so restrained. Please take a seat." Jili, who was wearing the uniform of the Qianniu Guard, pointed to a chair beside him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Cunxi secretly glanced at Di Renjie and found that Di Renjie did not give any eye contact, so he thanked him and sat down.

"From what Di Gong said, you are a man of great wisdom and have helped Di Gong solve many cases. You are also the one who braved the dangers and went to the governor's mansion to fish in troubled waters, which led to such a successful outcome." Jili Khan looked at Li Cunxi and could not help but nod his head, praising him: "What a hero born young!"

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Cunxi is only able to do things secretly because of the great power of the Emperor of the Great Zhou, the generous teaching of my uncle, and the treasure bestowed by the King of Wei."

"You are quite humble." Jili Khan nodded and said no more.

Li Cunxi also continued to pretend to be dumb, lowering his head and waiting for today's plot.

Judging from this scene, we should be entering the Xiaolianzi Mountain adventure dungeon.

"Dayou, tell us what's going on." Di Renjie said to Lu Dayou.

"Yes, sir." Lu Dayou raised his hand and pointed to the place marked on the map. "This is Xiaolianzi Village, this is Tianteng Village, and this is Daliushu Village. There are caves not far from these villages."

Afterwards, Lu Dayou told everyone what was happening inside the cave.

"It seems that if we want to crack the mastermind behind this case, we have to go downstairs for a walk." Di Renjie stood up and paced in the main hall.

"Sir, when are we going to set off? I will go and notify the guards." Hu Jinghui followed and asked.

This should have been Li Yuanfang's line, but Hu Jinghui has not been exposed yet, so it is naturally not Li Yuanfang's turn to speak.

"Jinghui, make arrangements immediately. Just a few of us will go!" Di Renjie's eyebrows knitted together, "Cunxi, do you want your two followers to follow you?"

"No need for that. If too many people go, it will be easier for things to go wrong, and the two of them can't help much." Li Cunxi quickly refused.

Six people is already a lot. If there are more people, it would be like traveling and enjoying the scenery.

……

In order to conceal their whereabouts, six people were specially arranged to board the carriage at the main gate of the Governor's Mansion.

This is to prevent someone from secretly following us.

Qiao Tai held a bag of mung bean cakes and reluctantly said goodbye to Li Cunxi.

"Okay, A-Tai, Master, I really don't want to eat this today. Now when I sleep, my dreams are filled with sweetness. I really don't dare to eat it."

"You and Arong can eat it as a snack, or as a drink. You don't have to give it to me. Next time you buy food for me, just buy meat. As for the roast chicken or roast goose, just buy it."

Patting Ma Rongqiaotai on the shoulder, Li Cunxi turned around and followed Di Renjie and others to the back door.

Di Renjie used the trick of escaping from the shell well, but he certainly could not have imagined that Mulan had been persuaded by him and had probably already started planning her escape.

At the back door of the Governor's Mansion, a garbage truck was ready.

The person driving the garbage truck was a servant in the mansion. The garbage truck, which should have been extremely dirty, was surprisingly clean.

The five people inside had already taken their seats. Li Cunxi looked helplessly at the empty seat between Hu Jinghui and Di Renjie, and had to go in with a bitter face.

Even though he was a thin dog, he couldn't sit between Fatty Di and the burly Hu Jinghui, or he would be squeezed to death.

"Come on, Cunxi, sit down." Di Renjie said with a chuckle.

"Uncle, I'd better not go." Li Cunxi said with a bitter face.

"You're teasing your uncle's big belly again, right? I've tried hard, but it's a pity that I can't lose weight."

"I dare not tease my uncle, otherwise he will deduct all my pocket money." Li Cunxi sat down helplessly.

Well...it's quite crowded indeed.

The left side is fat and the right side is armor.

I felt anxious because of the squeezing and the bumping.

"Uncle, I'm going to close my eyes and rest for a while. I didn't sleep very well yesterday."

"You, how can you do this in front of His Majesty?"

"It's okay, let him have a rest."

……

When I woke up, I was already at the foot of Xiaolianzi Mountain.

Rubbing his thin face, Li Cunxi exhaled and asked:

"Is there water?"

Hu Jinghui handed the water bag he carried with him to Li Cunxi and said:

"Drink."

Li Cunxi opened it and took a sip, then he had the leisure to look around.

This is an endless mountain range with one mountain upon another. Looking around, you can only feel that the mountains are dangerous and the waters are treacherous.

"This is Xiaolianzi Mountain? Is it really..."

"What is it really?"

"Hmm... It looks unusual at first glance."

"I don't believe you meant to say that."

"Well, I think the mountains here are bad and the waters are dangerous," said Li Cunxi.

"I think so too." Hu Jinghui took the water bag and put it in his pocket, still looking as majestic as a general.

Lu Dayou led the way in front and everyone followed behind.

Soon, everyone walked into the cave.

The body had been taken away long ago, and only traces of what was left were left here.

Li Cunxi walked behind and watched Di Renjie and the others deduce that this was an iron mine based on just a piece of iron ore.

He also watched Di Renjie deduce from the iron ore and iron mines that this was the place where the rebels smelted weapons.

Then, Di Renjie said:

"I can almost conclude that they have captured villagers from the ghost town and sent them here to forge weapons with the intention of rebelling."

"Fang Qian was executed a few days ago, and the mountain was no longer sealed. They didn't have time to destroy any traces, so they sealed the cave with huge rocks, filled the kiln with drinking water, and killed people to silence them!"

"You are worse than an animal!"
