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

The anxiety on Wu Yanhao's face was definitely real.

He had only been out for a short time when his dad started doing something behind him.

But this is not Dad's style at all.

Doesn't he know how wise and cautious his father is?

Is it possible that a person who has been cautious for half his life would suddenly betray his country for a few silver coins and treasures?

To put it bluntly, Wu Chengsi doesn't lack these little things at all!

The little bit of good stuff that Wu Chengsi revealed from his fingertips was enough for others to starve for ten lifetimes and work themselves to death to earn.

"Dad, say something!"

Wu Yanhao shook Wu Chengsi, who remained silent, and became more and more anxious.

Wu Chengsi's heart was as calm as water: "What did you say? Are you saying that I sold out state secrets for those treasures?"

Wu Yanhao choked and couldn't speak for a long time.

The look on his face shifted from anxiety to sadness to guilt.

"I shouldn't have come back so late this year. If I had come back two days earlier, everything could have been saved.

"It's my fault, it's my fault..."

"When His Majesty blames us, father and son should face it together."

Several ministers who were closer sighed.

At first, everyone thought Wu Chengsi was acting, and only a few people believed it was true. But after Wu Yanhao said this, no one thought he was acting anymore.

The father-son affection is revealed. Wu Yanhao, who should have had a bright future, insisted on following his father into battle and waiting for the emperor's wrath. This doesn't seem fake at all.

Wu Chengsi sighed and said, "It was Dad who harmed you!"

"Dad! I will stand with you through thick and thin!" Wu Yanhao was almost crying.

"Alas, you silly son." Wu Chengsi stretched out his hand, as if stroking a puppy's fur. "Dad didn't let you have a good life. Instead, you suffered a lot."

Zong Qinke sat opposite him. Although his expression was unfriendly, he no longer had the previous burning anger.

Di Renjie and Li Huaiyuan, who came in last, calculated the time and took the initiative to come to Wu Chengsi.

"Yanhao, please stand outside for a while. We have something to say to your father."

Di Renjie spoke with a smile, leaving Wu Yanhao with no reason to refuse.

"Then I'll go out and stand for a while."

Wu Yanhao stood up swiftly and walked out of Qixia Palace quickly.

"Prince Jin, this incident has caused too much trouble." Li Huaiyuan said.

"Yes, many officials want to report me. It's really too big a deal," said Wu Chengsi.

Di Renjie: "So what did His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin say yesterday? All we know so far is that the envoy Barclay left His Royal Highness's house and within two hours, he sent someone out of the Divine Capital to deliver the intelligence."

"I said I didn't say anything, do you believe me?"

"What does Prince Jin think?"

"You don't believe it."

"Your Highness Prince Jin has guessed it, so why is he unwilling to tell the truth?"

"I'm telling the truth. I...I got caught."

Although the three people's chatter was not loud, it was loud enough for everyone around them to hear clearly.

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes and expressions were as complicated as before.

Soon, it was time to go to court. Everyone was divided into two columns, lined up and walked out of Qixia Palace, and then rushed to Qianyang Palace.

Li Cunxi was already sitting on the dragon bed in Qianyang Palace, and Shangguan Wan'er handed him the latest confession sent by the Inner Guard Bureau.

“The efficiency is quite fast.”

Li Cunxi took a look and a smile appeared on his lips.

"I just requested it two hours ago, and it's delivered to me now."

"Wan'er, aren't you curious about what's inside?"

Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head: "I dare not be curious."

Li Cunxi handed over the confession and said, "Look quickly, my beloved ministers are almost here."

Shangguan Wan'er took in the contents in a few seconds, then returned the confession to Li Cunxi and stood aside without moving.

"You look like you've eaten something dirty."

"I dare not comment on your majesty's plan."

"Are you trying to say that I'm too shady?"

"I don't dare."

"That's what I wanted to say."

The ministers came in from outside and lined up neatly on the left and right to form the court order.

Li Cunxi stopped talking to Shangguan Wan'er and turned lazily to the ministers.

"My dear ministers, please don't talk about trivial matters today."

"I know what you all want to talk about, so I'll just start right away."

Li Cunxi pointed at Wu Chengsi from a distance.

"Do you know your guilt?"

Wu Chengsi walked out of the court quickly and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

Li Cunxi's expression changed instantly: "I punish you to reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors and not to leave without imperial decree. When this case is made public, I will then judge your merits and demerits."

Wu Chengsi was as if granted amnesty: "Your Majesty, I will now reflect on my mistakes behind closed doors!"

"Wait, after my dear, who can replace me?"

"My son Wu Yanhao!"

"Do you think it's appropriate, my dear?"

"Then let Minister Li come?"

"My dear..."

"Hey, Your Majesty, I think Duoduo and Xue Qinglin are more than capable. If you two work together, you will surely be able to support the Shangshutai."

"Then as you say, my dear minister, I will retain your position while you are away from the court. We will make a decision when the truth comes to light."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will now convey all that needs to be said to Duoduo and Xue Qinglin, and then return home to reflect on the past."

Wu Chengsi didn't want to stay for even a second, so after he finished speaking, he left Qianyang Hall and returned to his Shangshu Terrace.

At this point, the smarter civil and military officials saw Li Cunxi's attitude and knew what was going on.

This is not the emperor protecting his father-in-law at all!

This is purely Wu Chengsi cooperating with the emperor to cause trouble!

Otherwise, based on just a few words, could Wu Chengsi go back home and reflect on his mistakes?

What a joke!

There is no such saying!

If it was true that Wu Chengsi destroyed the country for wealth, he should have been taken directly to the Ministry of Justice prison for a thorough interrogation.

"I miscalculated." Zong Qinke whispered to the official next to him, "I'm so stupid, really, I'm so stupid. How could I not realize that the emperor and several ministers were colluding to put on a show?"

The official next to him was Wu Youxu. He had already seen the clues, but he had never dared to say it out loud for fear of ruining Li Cunxi's plans.

"Doctor Zong, you'd better be more cautious in the future. If you had reported my brother earlier today and learned the truth, how would you have faced it?"

"Although I was mistaken this time, the beliefs I uphold can never be changed. Reporting rumors is the power of the Censor."

"It's always better for Doctor Zong to be more cautious, but please don't ruin His Majesty's important plans."

Zong Qinke still spoke stubbornly, but he must have learned a lot of lessons after this incident.

Li Cunxi personally asked the first minister of the court to accompany him in the performance, which was definitely no small matter. The target must be Barclay, the Tibetan envoy who was allowed to attend the court to meet the king.

If he really ruined Li Cunxi's plans, even if Li Cunxi was kind and generous, the ministers under him would still have to make him feel the criticism.

After leaving Qianyang Palace, Wu Chengsi walked all the way back and ran into Li Mingyuan head-on.
