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

Chapter 707 Mi Qing Comes to Help

Li Qi clenched his teeth and shivered with anger.

"You fart!!"

"Who assassinated the Imperial Commissioner?"

"You are slandering me!"

He struggled to break free from the Qianniu Guard's suppression, but was pressed down again the next second, with his right cheek pressed against the ground.

Upon hearing this, Li Cunxi just glanced at Wu Sansi calmly.

Wu Sansi's heart was filled with alarm, and he shouted:

"If it wasn't you, who else could have done it?"

"Also, the former Luzhou Governor, Di Guangzhao, was fair and honest during his tenure. Yet, you resorted to such dirty tactics to replace him!"

"As the saying goes, there's nothing new under the sun. You've simply done it all over again, and now you're afraid to admit it!"

"What a bunch of bastards!"

Li Cunxi's gaze gradually shifted away from Wu Sansi's face and turned to Li Qi who was lying on the ground.

Li Qi struggled and roared:

"We are just trying to gain some rights for ourselves. What's wrong with that?"

"Since Di Guangzhao is unwilling to give us the rights, we have no choice but to take them ourselves."

"Besides, we didn't kill him!"

"What about you, you bunch of devils, you're going to rob our entire family!"

Li Cunxi said "Oh" and said:

"In other words, you admit that the bribery case against the former Luzhou Governor Di Guangzhao was actually a false accusation by you?"

Li Qi's expression suddenly became clear.

He didn't even understand what he had said at that moment.

Could it be that he had already confessed just now?

Everyone in the main hall fell silent for a moment.

At this moment, Fenghuang came out from one side of the main hall with six inner guards.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin and His Royal Highness the Prince of Liang."

"Li Qi has confessed his guilt now. We are returning to Luoyang to report and silence the civil and military officials in the court on behalf of the two princes."

While Fenghuang was speaking, an internal guard came with a petition that had been written long ago and forced Li Qi to sign it.

Wu Sansi waved his hand and said, "Send him back to Luoyang quickly, so that I can clear my name."

"We've killed so many Luzhou officials these days. This petition can also shut up some people and prevent them from accusing us of killing officials and civilians indiscriminately."

Wu Yanhao stretched and said, "How could the officials in the court possibly say such things? Now they are either your uncle's men, or Cunxi and my father's men."

“Who dares to stand up and accuse you of killing innocent people?”

"Don't you want to live anymore?"

Wu Sansi nodded in agreement.

Today, he has to admit that Li Cunxi has some abilities that others don't have.

No wonder this guy solved a major case in the state just by bringing a few people with him.

I finally saw him this time.

It's like knowing in advance who the culprit of the case is.

It's fucking weird.

……

At three quarters after noon, nearly a thousand innocent people were chopped off, and blood was spilled all over the Caishikou.

All the executioners in Shangdang County had seen enough and put down their swords in public.

The remaining members of the aristocratic families who had not been chopped to death were escorted back to the prison in the governor's mansion. Li Cunxi also sent people to several neighboring counties to find executioners to chop them all off.

Just after the hour of Wei and the hour of Shen, a group of cavalrymen from the Qianniu Guards escorted a group of officials to Shangdang in Luzhou.

Li Cunxi and others who were still in the governor's mansion met this group of officials at the first opportunity.

The leader was none other than Shangshu Zuo Cheng Mi Qing, who brought dozens of officials drawn from various states to come specially to support Li Cunxi.

"Brother, I didn't expect the court would actually send a high-ranking official like you."

Li Cunxi was filled with emotion. He really didn't expect that the imperial court would do such a thing.

You should know that the two highest leaders of the Secretariat were King Wu Chengsi of Wei and King Wu Sansi of Liang.

On weekdays when Wu Chengsi was not attending court, Mi Qing, the Shangshu Zuo Cheng, was the second-in-command of the Shangshu Province, specifically working with Wu Sansi to handle the affairs of the Shangshu Province.

Just looking at Wu Chengsi's character, even if Di Renjie fell, he would not have attended the court.

And Wu Sansi followed him out...

"Brother, who is in charge of the Shangshutai now?"

"It's my mentor."

Mi Qing's expression was calm.

"My mentor recommended me to His Majesty, asking me to bring these officials to Luzhou to stabilize the situation here."

He paused and looked at Li Cunxi with admiration again.

"Your Highness, Prince Qin, you are truly brave. You killed so many officials without mercy."

"At first, the court was quite critical of you, but ever since my mentor came forward and asked me to take charge, they've all shut up."

"While I was on my way, I heard that the Luzhou nobles colluded with officials to kill two governors. I finally understand what you are planning."

"Just one word."

"I'm convinced, I'm really convinced."

In the past, Mi Qing couldn't even imagine that someone would dare to go against the will of the world and directly massacre the aristocratic families of an entire state.

No matter what the reason, no one would dare to do this.

Now Li Cunxi has set a precedent.

"Since they want to play, then naturally no one should admit defeat. Whoever dies loses."

Li Cunxi was quite proud.

"It's just killing a few people, what's that?"

Mi Qing gave a thumbs up and said no more.

He had seen this courage before, but he would never learn it.

"Okay, Brother, now that you're here, it's time for us to go back and report."

"Shadow, go and fetch my second brother and Brother Dayou."

"You stay here and watch over them. Let them write the documents themselves and send them to Luoyang first. Wait until you hear the news from the court before returning."

Shadow came out from behind the screen and nodded dully.

"Aren't you going to stay here?" Mi Qing asked.

"I've already investigated my third brother's bribery case and the disappearance of the imperial envoy. Why are you still staying here?"

"That's right. Then let the Qianniu Guards escort you back."

Li Cunxi took two steps forward, then turned around as if remembering something and asked, "Which high-ranking general of the Qianniu Guard is here to protect you this time?"

"It's Gao Huan..." Mi Qing paused, "Her Majesty said that you recommended General Gao to her, and that's why she sent people to protect us. So, did you really recommend him to Her Majesty?"

"Does it still matter whether you have it or not?"

……

The setting sun is gentle.

Outside Shangdang City, Qianniu Guards escorted a carriage south.

Hu Jinghui led Qi Hu and Pan Yue to lead the way, while Shen Tao and Xiao Bao followed behind.

On both sides of the carriage, Ma Rong and Qiao Tai each rode a horse, looking to both sides from time to time to make sure no one attacked the carriage by surprise.

Qianli Yizhangqing was at the front side of the carriage, being led by a Qianniu Guard soldier.

In the carriage, Li Cunxi, Wu Sansi and Wu Yanhao sat in silence. Each of them ate some cakes and drank some wine, then pretended to fall asleep.

In the Ganlu Hall of Taichu Palace, Wu Zetian lowered her eyes and said:

"In other words, the evidence is conclusive. The previous incident involving Di Guangzhao was framed by these people."

"Now, the disappearance of the imperial envoy was also caused by these Luzhou clans?"

"You're really... so bold..."
