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

Chapter 655 Goodbye Di Renjie

Li Cunxi watched Shangguan Wan'er leave, then looked at Gao Huan.

As one of the only two powerful generals in Qianniu Guard, Gao Huan should not be on duty today.

But he happened to appear here.

Li Cunxi walked towards the corner of the wall, and when Gao Huan followed him, he asked:

"General Gao, what do you want from me?"

Gao Huan looked around like a thief, and when he found that no one was approaching, he rubbed his hands.

"Your Highness, Prince Qin, I..."

Gao Huan's face turned red, but he couldn't say the next word.

After a long time, Gao Huan finally said:

"I want to ask you a favor."

As a senior general who is more ordinary than his colleagues, and his immediate superior is younger than himself, he will definitely die after him. At this time, Gao Huan, who is caught in the middle, is a little anxious.

He is already fifty years old. If he fails to get promoted in the next four or five years, he will be Wu Zetian's gatekeeper for the rest of his life.

His superior, Huan Bin, was in his forties. As a general in charge of the emperor's guards, he had a bright future.

His colleague Hu Jinghui is also in his forties. Although he is only a general of Qianniu Guard, Hu Jinghui has made outstanding contributions and is still a living loyal and righteous earl. In the future, he will start as a commander of an army.

And he.

Fifty-something.

Not much credit.

If you want to climb up, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

However, Gao Huan is not a person who would be inferior to others. He also has his own ambitions.

He would try his best to climb higher.

He licked his cracked lips and added:

"Your Highness, Prince Qin, I, I..."

"If I can make further progress, I will never forget your help to me, and I will do everything I can to repay you."

Li Cunxi thought about it and couldn't refuse Gao Huan directly. He also wanted to win over a general like Gao Huan, so he had to say:

"Just wait for my news."

"You should also know that among the Qianniu Guards around His Majesty, apart from the loyal General Huan Bin, there are only two generals with real power and one inspecting general, and finally four Zhonglang generals."

"The other two generals are responsible for protecting me on weekdays. If I recommend you to His Majesty again, His Majesty might become suspicious."

Gao Huan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that this problem really had no solution.

It would be disastrous if three generals, two with real power and one inspecting general were all won over by Li Cunxi.

What if the emperor thought that Li Cunxi was trying to take control of the Qianniu Guards? Wouldn't that be a definite case of beheading?

Besides, even if Wu Zetian was very magnanimous and did not think so, if Wu Sansi knew about it, he would write a letter to criticize Li Cunxi.

"Then what should I do?" Gao Huan's face looked extremely ugly.

"I told you, just wait for my news." Li Cunxi said.

"Understood, Your Highness Prince Qin."

"When the time is right, I'll have someone look for you."

……

By the time Li Cunxi arrived at Di's house, it was already around the Shen time, which is probably around three o'clock in the afternoon in later times.

Just in time to catch up with Di Mansion for lunch.

When the servants of the Di Mansion heard that it was Li Cunxi who came back, they hurriedly surrounded him and invited Li Cunxi into the side room.

Di Chun personally served Li Cunxi a cup of tea and said with a smile:

"Your Highness Prince Qin, please wait a moment. The master is educating the Third Young Master."

"Once the master has finished teaching me, I will naturally come over for dinner."

Li Cunxi was silent for a while and asked:

"Brother Di Chun, I just became king, has the relationship between us become so distant?"

Di Chun smiled innocently and said:

"We are of different status, so I dare not shout nonsense."

Li Cunxi felt uncomfortable when he heard this.

When he was still young, Di Chun was not the housekeeper of the Di Mansion. At that time, it was Di Chun who took care of him.

Now he is the King of Qin, and Di Chun is one of the stewards of the Di Mansion, and the two can no longer talk to each other as before.

"Your Highness, Prince Qin, things are not the same as before."

Di Chun smiled and stood aside.

Li Cunxi was almost speechless.

"Please sit down. I can be considered as raised by you. You are no different from my biological brother. Why are you being so distant with me?"

"Your Highness the Prince of Qin, Your Highness the Prince of Qin, as if I am no longer Li Cunxi after I am crowned as the king."

Di Chun responded, sat down, and asked tentatively:

"Cunxi?"

Li Cunxi exhaled and said:

"That's right, Brother Di Chun, please tell me quickly, what happened in the mansion, what happened to my third brother?"

Di Chun lowered his head, not daring to make fun of his host.

The three sons of his master Di Renjie were all capable people. The eldest son Di Guangsi, the second son Di Guangyuan and the third son Di Guangzhao were all provincial governors a month ago.

One month later, Di Guangsi and Di Guangyuan were still provincial governors, but Di Guangzhao was no longer.

The third brother Di Guangzhao committed a crime in Luzhou. In order to clean up his mess, his second brother Di Guangyuan volunteered to go to Luzhou to serve as the governor.

Counting the days, Di Guangyuan has most likely already set out from Fuzhou and will be able to reach Luzhou in three days at most.

Di Guangzhao is now in the mansion, being scolded by Di Renjie.

Li Cunxi rubbed his temple and said helplessly: "Then I will go by myself."

Before he stood up, Li Cunxi saw people walking in from outside. Leading them was a fat man with an imposing manner.

"uncle."

Li Cunxi stood up and walked to the side to greet him.

As soon as Di Renjie entered the room, he saw Li Cunxi and his mood improved a lot. He walked up to him and took a closer look at Li Cunxi.

"Okay, okay, it's the same as before."

"I heard that you returned to Luoyang today and didn't even go to the Secretariat. I was waiting for you at home."

Di Renjie paused, turned his head to look at Di Guangzhao, and was about to talk about Di Guangzhao.

Li Cunxi spoke before him and said:

"I'm hungry. Eat something first and we can talk about the rest later."

Di Renjie nodded, glanced at Di Guangzhao unhappily, and ordered:

"Let the kitchen serve the food. I want to have a couple of drinks with Cunxi tonight."

Di Guangzhao turned around and left as if he had been pardoned.

"I didn't call you, so come back here." Di Renjie said coldly.

Di Guangzhao was just about to say "I'll go" when he looked up and saw Di Chun walking out in a hurry.

Soon, in an extremely strange atmosphere, Li Cunxi, Di Renjie and Di Guangzhao sat at the table.

Li Cunxi was not in a hurry to ask questions. He picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and stuffed it all into his mouth.

Di Renjie didn't move his chopsticks at all, but just glanced at Di Guangzhao who didn't move.

After eating for a full stick of incense, Li Cunxi finally put down his chopsticks, looked up at Di Guangzhao, and asked:

"Third brother, you and I are as close as brothers. You have to tell me what happened."

Di Renjie said nothing, just looked at Di Guangzhao.

Di Guangzhao was under great pressure. Under pressure from his own father, he said:

"When I was in Luzhou, I accepted bribes..."

Li Cunxi knew that things were not that simple, so he continued to ask:

"and then?"

Di Guangzhao felt even more pressured: "Five hundred thousand taels."
