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

Chapter 271 Everyone’s reaction

After Zhao Hai delivered his oral instructions, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he stared at Li Dan who was slowly getting up.

Li Dan took out a letter from his bosom, handed it to Zhao Hai, and said earnestly:

"Please be sure to deliver it to my cousin Li Zezhou."

"Li Zezhou? Is it Li Cunxi Li Shaoyin?"

"Yes, it is him. Please be sure to hand it over to him."

Li Dan thanked him profusely and took out two taels of gold and stuffed it into Zhao Hai's sleeve.

"I will definitely hand this letter over to Li Shaoyin."

Zhao Hai bowed, placed the letter on his chest, and left with the inner guards.

Naturally, what happened in the Prince of Xiang's mansion could not be hidden from other ministers in the court.

At Prince Liang's mansion, Wu Sansi was the first to receive the good news. Li Dan's followers were abusing their power outside and were caught by Li Cunxi. If this had happened in the past, Wu Sansi would have gone to Beijing overnight to report Li Dan.

But thinking about the stupid things he had done in the past six months to deal with Li Cunxi, Wu Sansi still held back.

Last year, Zhang Yizhi was buried alive, and before this year's court meeting, she was severely threatened by Li Cunxi. Wu Zetian must have known what these two things meant.

If he went there and offended Wu Zetian, Wu Sansi would be in big trouble.

After thinking for half an hour, Wu Sansi decided to go to the East Palace of his father-in-law Li Xian and talk to him in private.

Just as Wu Sansi was setting off, Zhang Jianzhi, Yao Chong, Li Huaiyuan and others had already arrived at Di's mansion.

Everyone was extremely worried when Prince Xiang met with such misfortune. The Li clan's strong contender for the throne in the court had already lost Princess Taiping. If Li Cunxi continued to investigate and found Li Xian and Li Dan's other followers, the Li clan would no longer have to fight for the throne.

"My Lord, as soon as Li Shaoyin left Luoyang, he found a scum like Chen Bo. This is in front of the emperor. Who knows how many of the prince's students and former officials there are in more distant places!"

Yao Chong's face was full of bitterness and he was almost dying of anxiety.

"Cun Xi is such a person. If the case can be solved on the spot, it is still a good thing. If it is sent to the palace, it means that the matter is very serious and he cannot make a decision arbitrarily. I am afraid that this disciple of the Prince of Xiang has done something very bad..."

Di Renjie made a helpless comment.

At this moment, Di Chun suddenly walked in and said to Di Renjie and a group of senior officials:

"Master, gentlemen, Master Cunxi asked the demon spirit from the Inner Guard House to deliver an urgent letter."

Di Renjie stood up and said, "Let me see!"

Di Chun hurried forward and handed the letter to Di Renjie.

Di Renjie opened the letter in no time and carefully read the contents.

There was not much content on the letter, so Di Renjie finished reading it quickly. He frowned and handed the letter to Zhang Jianzhi.

"I told you so. If it was just the county magistrate abusing his power, Cunxi would be easy to deal with. But this thief actually sent out his slaves to kill people to silence them. He also intended to kill Cunxi, Jinghui, Yuanfang and the boy from the Wu family. How could he conceal the assassination of the Shao Yin of Henan Prefecture?"

After reading it, Zhang Jianzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Even if the Prince of Xiang confines himself to reflect on his mistakes for a year, it is really too..."

"I guess the Prince of Xiang should be feeling lucky now, feeling lucky that Cunxi was not hurt, otherwise..."

After reading the contents of the letter, Yao Chong and Li Huaiyuan felt sorry for Li Dan, but there was nothing much to say.

Your students and former officials are going to send people to kill Li Cunxi's southern tour team. It's good enough that they didn't punish your subordinate, a small county magistrate, and implicate his entire clan. Even if they file a complaint against you, you have to endure it.

"But now there is a new problem that needs to be solved. I guess the Prince of Xiang's confinement may just be the beginning. Wu Sansi, this thief, will definitely not let go of this good opportunity."

"If Wu Sansi uses the excuse that Chen Bo wants to kill Cunxi to implicate the Prince of Xiang, I'm afraid that given your Majesty's character, I'm afraid he will be hesitant. If he is instigated by treacherous ministers, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Prince of Xiang to do his job."

Zhang Jianzhi stroked his beard and raised the most pressing issue that needed to be addressed.

"Isn't this easy to do? Elder Zhang, in my opinion, if Wu Sansi really uses this reason to attack us, we can just propose that Your Majesty banish the Prince of Xiang to Fangzhou. It will be much safer there, as it is so far away."

Li Huaiyuan was also a shrewd man and immediately gave a reasonable choice.

There are still many old ministers and generals from the Li Tang period in Fangzhou. If Li Dan was sent there, it would be easy for those old ministers and generals to protect Li Dan given their prestige and abilities in the local area.

"This is a great idea, it's feasible."

Di Renjie nodded and finalized the plan.

……

At the Prince of Wei's mansion, Wu Chengsi slowly picked up a purple clay teapot and poured a cup of tea for the man in front of him.

The man sat upright, a fierce look in his eyes, his legs bent and his hands on his knees.

This person was none other than Wu Chengye, Prince of Changshan.

After they drank two cups of tea, Wu Chengsi raised his eyelids and asked calmly:

"You didn't send the people who ambushed Zhao Hai, did you?"

Wu Chengye remained calm and replied:

"Of course not. I'm just a little bit aggressive, but I don't have any intellectual problems."

Wu Chengsi's eyes flickered, and he muttered to himself:

"That's strange. I don't remember which sect has such a master among its disciples."

Wu Chengye took a sip of tea, which rolled around in his mouth several times before finally going down his throat. There was no expression on his face, and he didn't say anything else.

The night was long and had just begun. Wu Chengye just drank by himself and could not say anything.

After a long time, another figure, led by the butler, came to the main hall and looked at Wu Chengsi and Wu Chengye.

"Hey, you two guys haven't slept yet?"

The face of the visitor emerged in the light. It was the Minister of Rites Wu Yizong. He did not greet Wu Chengsi and just sat down next to Wu Chengsi.

"According to the latest news, after Wu Sansi went to the Prince's residence, Wu Youji went to Wu Sansi's residence, and Wu Youde also went there. It is obvious what these two idiots are going to do."

Wu Yizong had a bad expression on his face.

"I don't know what these two idiots were thinking. They suddenly did this and turned to Wu Sansi."

"There's two more pieces of bad news."

"Wu Youji's elder brother, General Wu Youning of the Left Guard, is wavering now and has even sent a letter to Wu Youzhi, the governor of Jiang Prefecture. These three brothers are probably in cahoots with each other."

Wu Chengsi frowned, but did not feel particularly pressured. Even if the three brothers were tied together, it would not be harmful to him.

"What's the other bad thing?"

Wu Yizong said helplessly: "Your Majesty appointed me as the General of the Right Jinwu Guard, conferred the title of Prince of Henei on me, made me the Chief of Luozhou, and the Minister of Rites, and finally conferred me the title of Imperial Clan Minister."

Wu Chengye jumped up, pointed a finger at Wu Yizong's face, and was about to give him a good scolding.

He received every promotion and title, but you still have the nerve to say that this is a bad thing. You have to lose face.
