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

Chapter 781: Changchun Gate is attacked, the truth is revealed

The fact that there were no completely burned clothes or fabrics nearby almost proved that the person who was burned to death was Wu Sansi.

However, Wu Chengsi observed it carefully and suddenly laughed.

"What an idiot! He can't even fake his own death to get away. If I were in his position, I would never do that."

Li Cunxi looked at the charred corpse, turned around and asked, "Master, what do you think?"

"You must have seen it, so there's no need for me to explain it."

"Let the teacher come. The student may not be as accurate as the teacher."

"Hmph." Wu Chengsi pointed at the charred corpse and said, "This person must have been burned into a charred corpse after he died, rather than being burned to death."

Everyone found it incredible, so they looked at the charred corpse carefully, and found that the charred corpse died in a relatively peaceful state.

He died easily, without the frantic struggle he'd experienced before being burned to death.

This is definitely not something a living person can do. Except for those monks and Taoists, no one can face death so peacefully.

"That means that King Liang was killed before he was burned to a charred corpse?"

Huang Shengyan touched his head and asked stupidly.

"Grand Lord, this case is still too difficult for you. Fortunately, His Majesty asked us to help you solve the case, otherwise you would have to commit suicide in three days to apologize."

Li Cunxi held his forehead and pointed at the charred corpse.

"This man is definitely not King Liang. Before the fire started, King Liang had already been replaced by this man, and this man has long since become a corpse."

Huang Shengyan suddenly realized.

"Prince Liang ran away!"

"The man who was rescued was Liang Wang Wu Sansi!"

When he reacted, his expression was ferocious, and his face looked like an angry yaksha.

"Damn it! Prince Wu Sansi of Liang actually sent people to burn down the Inner Guard House. He's so audacious! If I were to meet him, I'd make sure he was killed without a burial place!"

It was a foregone conclusion that King Liang would escape, and the people who came to rescue him must be his accomplices.

However, up to now, it is still impossible to confirm who the accomplices of King Wu Sansi of Liang are.

If this is used as a pretext to convict Wu Youning, Wu Youji and Wu Youzhi, these three people will definitely not agree, and they will not even be able to pass the test before the emperor.

"Grand Lord, Your Highnesses!"

"There is one survivor, there is one survivor!"

An internal guard came running over to report.

"It's the Minister of Revenue, Zong Chuke!"

Li Cunxi was surprised and said, "Zong Chuke is still alive. Let's go and take a look!"

Not long after they walked, they saw a dusty man being carried towards them by people on both sides.

Although there was a thick layer of dust on this person's face, it was still vaguely recognizable that this was Zong Chuke who did not attend the grand court meeting.

Zong Chuke was being carried away and vaguely saw someone in front of him. He rubbed his eyes hard and then he could see clearly who was coming from the opposite side.

He was so excited that he shouted from a distance:

"Your Highness, Prince of Qin, Your Highness, I am Zong Chuke, I am Zong Chuke, Your Highness, Prince of Qin!"

"Wuwuwuwuwuwu, Your Highness, I almost didn't get to see you, Your Highness, these damn guys almost burned me to death in the prison, Your Highness!"

Zong Chuke cried with joy.

He is Li Cunxi's man. As long as he can see Li Cunxi, his life safety will be guaranteed.

At this moment, Li Cunxi, who was like a god descending from the sky, was his savior.

"Take Master Zong Chuke downstairs and have him cleaned up properly. Then bring him into the living room. I have something to ask him later."

Li Cunxi wanted to protect Zong Chuke, so he spoke to the two inner guards.

Upon receiving the order, the internal guards immediately took Zong Chuke to clean up.

"Grand Lord, I think we have the answer."

"Yes, Your Highness Prince Qin, we already have the answer." Huang Shengyan nodded.

"Master, what do you think?" Li Cunxi looked at Wu Chengsi again.

Wu Chengsi said calmly, "I think the case should be solved soon, but I don't know where Wu Sansi is now."

"There's probably no answer to this question at the moment, but the answer shouldn't be far away."

"Do you have any idea?"

"Master, how many of the Wu family princes are capable of supporting so many people?"

"It's none other than Wu Youning, Wu Yizong, and Wu Sizong," Wu Chengsi said, "and maybe my brother Wu Chengye."

"Master, please stop joking. The Prince of Changshan is in Chang'an, so why would he get involved in Luoyang's affairs?" Li Cunxi chuckled. "Now, should we report to His Majesty and cause trouble for these people?"

"That's not a bad idea, but if you don't kill the snake, there will be endless trouble. I think it's better to confiscate everything."

The two were still discussing when suddenly someone rushed in from outside.

That was the shadow of the leader of the Inner Guard Bureau. He looked anxious and ran straight towards Li Cunxi.

"Your Highness, Prince Qin, this is bad! Changchun Gate has been attacked, and most of the soldiers defending the city have been killed. The thieves have already left through Changchun Gate!"

"The troops in the city dared not leave the camp without Your Majesty's order. They have probably already set out, searching everywhere for the thief!"

"I just don't know if the left and right guards outside of Luoyang are currently involved in the pursuit."

By the time Shadow came in front of Li Cunxi, he had said everything he needed to say.

Changchun Gate is nearly 20 miles away from here. The thieves who attacked Changchun Gate left from the east of the city, so the time is reasonable.

"It's really unexpected that Sansi ran away. I just don't know where Sansi is going to run to."

Wu Chengsi put his hands behind his back, frowned, and thought slowly.

However, Wu Sansi's whereabouts are still difficult to determine. Even if he went out of the east gate, he might not have gone east, but might have gone to other places.

Li Cunxi stared at the shadow: "What is the thief wearing?"

"It is said that they all wore night clothes."

"That's no problem."

What happened in Luoyang City could not be concealed at all, so there was no need for Shadow to lie to him.

"Shadow, who told you this news?"

"The brothers on night patrol in the east of the city reported it back."

"I think, gentlemen, we can see His Majesty."

……

In Fangzhou, the former crown prince and current Prince of Xiang Li Dan was sitting on the bed.

In front of him was a glass of fine wine, and Li Longji, who was sitting opposite him, also had a glass of fine wine in front of him.

Li Dan smiled and raised the wine glass in front of him towards his son.

A look of struggle appeared on Li Longji's face, and he seemed a little frightened, but facing his father, he ultimately failed to knock over the wine in front of him.

After a long time, he finally held the wine glass with both hands and looked at his father with pleading eyes, hoping that Li Dan would spare his life.

However, Li Dan remained calm and gestured for him to drink the wine.

He trembled as he looked at his father, whose temperament had changed drastically, and said:

"Dad, what are you doing? Our Li family is about to take back the kingdom, what are you doing?"

"We have to make things so chaotic that it's beyond repair. Will that make you and the Crown Prince feel at ease?"
