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

Chapter 660: The Luzhou Case Begins

Wu Chengsi, who was lying on the couch with his legs crossed, was enjoying the striptease. He held a pot of warm wine in his hand and put it into his mouth from time to time.

"It's so comfortable." Wu Chengsi sighed softly.

The doorman outside quickly appeared outside the main door with a sneer.

He didn't even dare to look at the beauties from the Western Regions, and just looked at his toes.

"Master, the Prince of Qin is here."

Wu Chengsi perked up and sat up straight.

"Is Cunxi here?"

"Please invite Cunxi in quickly."

Li Cunxi flicked his sleeves, walked out of the door, and bowed to Wu Chengsi above.

"Teacher, here I come."

The Western Region dancers seemed to have received a hint, stopped dancing, and quickly stepped aside.

Wu Chengsi waved at them, and the dancers left the main hall.

The old doorman bowed outside the door, then retreated, returned to the main entrance, and continued to do his job.

Several meters apart, Li Cunxi and Wu Chengsi looked at each other from a distance.

"Come in quickly, what are you standing outside for? It's so cold."

"Come in and warm yourself by the fire."

Wu Chengsi waved towards Li Cunxi and his eyes swept over Li Cunxi as if he was looking at his own son.

Of course, even when facing his eldest son Wu Yanji and his most promising son Wu Yanhao, Wu Chengsi had never been so kind.

"My mentor is so good to me. If my brothers knew about this, they would be so jealous of me."

Li Cunxi chuckled, walked into the main hall, put the gift down in a corner, and sat next to Wu Chengsi.

Wu Chengsi withdrew his admiring gaze and leaned back.

"Your enthronement is the trend of the times, not my credit."

"Being the King of Qin is a good thing, the head of all the kings. If you go one step further, you can suppress the Crown Prince."

Wu Chengsi spoke in a calm tone, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.

Li Cunxi did not respond immediately, but he understood that from the moment Wu Chengsi asked Wu Zetian to make him a king, Wu Chengsi had completely lost hope of that position.

My mentor has such a broad vision!

He just gave up the throne. You know, in the original world, Wu Chengsi racked his brains to become the crown prince.

But Wu Chengsi of this era is like the selfless Prince Wei, who kept a low profile after the Huang Guogong case, and now is making things difficult for himself.

Li Cunxi, secretly moved, turned to look at Wu Chengsi.

"Teacher, I lost my father when I was young..."

Wu Chengsi frowned and quickly interrupted Li Cunxi.

"Stop it, you little bastard."

"You are my disciple, and we already have a good relationship. I can go a step further and become your father-in-law, but I cannot be your godfather."

"I, Fengxian, don't even recognize my adoptive father, so don't mess around."

Li Cunxi smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.

"Teacher, you misunderstood me. That's not what I meant. I wanted to say that you are so kind to me."

Wu Chengsi was stunned for a moment and remained silent.

He suddenly remembered that Li Cunxi lost his father at a young age and most of his family members died due to Wu Sansi's false accusation.

Even though he was protected by Di Renjie later, he was still a poor child without a father.

The age difference between me and his father is not too big, and I helped him at the critical moment, so it is not an exaggeration to say that I gave him the same warmth as his father.

"Hey, I'll slowly settle accounts with Sansi about your family's affairs in the future."

Wu Chengsi paused, remembering the deep blood feud between himself and the descendants of the Li family, and looked at Li Cunxi again.

Fortunately, he was smart before and found that the road to succession was extremely difficult, so he quickly got out and saved himself, and started to connect with Li Cunxi.

"By the way, I already know about Yan Hao's affairs. I want to thank you very much. If it weren't for you, it would be difficult for him to keep the position of Duke."

"These are just small matters. I can't go any further, so naturally someone else has to go further."

……

When Li Cunxi was still in the Prince of Wei's Mansion, Huang Shengyan had already brought Wu Zetian to the Di Mansion.

After listening to the oral instructions, Lu Dayou and Di Guangzhao thanked the emperor for his grace and then found a place to sit down.

"I'm finally safe this time. I didn't sleep well for more than half a month because I was scared. Now I can sleep more peacefully."

Di Guangzhao took a sip of the cold tea and leaned back.

"Four hundred thousand taels of silver may not be enough to buy this life. Let's pay five hundred thousand taels. Our family is not in great need of this amount of silver."

"Doctor Lu, I will thank you very much when the time comes. I will definitely reward you generously in the future."

Lu Dayou spread out the book without changing his expression.

"I used to be a farmer in Xiaolianzi Village, Youzhou. If it weren't for the support of Lord Di and Cunxi, I'm afraid I would still be farming at home now."

"I haven't done anything right now, and your problem hasn't been solved yet. It's too early to thank me."

"I will take a rest tomorrow, and then go to Luzhou the day after tomorrow to investigate this case thoroughly."

"Of course, before I go to Luzhou, please write down the major clans in Luzhou so that I don't kill the wrong people after I arrive in Luzhou."

Di Guangzhao was grinding ink happily.

He couldn't wait until tomorrow to write. He remembered all the families that his enemies supported. It was most likely they were the ones who wronged him this time, and he had to take revenge.

Soon, Di Guangzhao had written hundreds of names on the paper.

Not far away, Lu Dayou took a look at the list. Wow, those were all the names of people from the big clans in Luzhou.

He was secretly shocked, thinking that Di Guangzhao was no simple man. He knew so many names by heart, and it was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time to take revenge on the other party.

However, he treated Di Renjie as his father, and Di Renjie's son was also his half-brother. When his brother had problems, he had to help.

Once they arrive in Luzhou, none of these people will be left alive.

The two of them sat in Li Cunxi's study until midnight, waiting for Li Cunxi to come back. After each of them told each other about their current situation, they parted ways and found places to sleep.

The next day, Li Cunxi and his friends played for the whole day again. It was not until the early morning of the third day that they sent Lu Dayou out of Beijing.

In order to ensure Lu Dayou's life safety, Li Cunxi specially invited Zhao Hai and Yingzi from the Inner Guard Palace, and brought thirty or fifty inner guards, and then let Lu Dayou leave.

After seeing Lu Dayou off, the sky was still gloomy. Li Cunxi returned home and asked a beautiful Western beauty who had become a maid to change his clothes for him.

The grand court meeting held once every five days was here again. He had to put on his official uniform and go to court to argue with Wu Sansi.

At his level, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t attend the small court meetings, but he always has to go to the big court meetings.

Otherwise, some bitch would definitely report him severely.

In just a quarter of an hour, he was dressed, tied the golden tortoise bag around his waist, put on the jade pendant Xiaomei gave him, tied his hair and put on a crown. After he was done, he left home and walked all the way to the palace.

The court session started at 4:45 of the Mao hour, which is 7:00 in later generations, but now it is only the Yin hour, which is still quite a long time.

Li Cunxi walked forward and soon met an acquaintance.

"Hey, isn't this His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin?"

Wu Sansi, who came over from the fork in the road, gritted his teeth.
