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

Chapter 495 Crazy Suspicion

When he walked out of Ganlu Palace, it was already the end of the Chou hour. Sleepiness overwhelmed him, and he urged Li Cunxi to go back and have a good sleep.

After walking down more than ten steps, General Gao Huan of the Qianniu Guard, who had been waiting for him, came to greet him.

"Li Fumu."

"General Gao."

They stood still and bowed to each other.

"Mr. Li, I will lead you out of the palace."

"Thank you."

Normally, such trivial matters would not be handled by General Gao Huan, the General of the Qianniu Guard.

I don't know what's wrong with this General Qianniuwei who came here to lead the way in person.

Li Cunxi couldn't understand. Although he was powerful now, he shouldn't reach out to the army, right?

After walking a few steps, facing the extremely attentive Gao Huan, Li Cunxi suddenly stopped and said:

"General Gao, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Although I have only been in the officialdom for a short time, I am not ignorant of everything."

"As the saying goes, if you are nice to someone without any reason, you must be asking for something."

"We are all open-minded people, so why not explain it more clearly?"

Gao Huan looked around, and finally approached Li Cunxi and spoke in a low voice:

"I want to ask Li Fumu for a job."

Gao Huan was over fifty years old, and was only a general of the Qianniu Guard.

His immediate superior, Huan Bin, was only 45 years old and in good health. It was obvious that he was going to die after him.

Even if Huan Bin died in an accident, the two generals of the same rank as him, the Qianniu Guards, would not be pushovers.

Let’s not talk about Li Yuanfang, the Inspector General of the Thousand Oxen Guards, for now he is just a general in name only.

But Hu Jinghui climbed to the top through his military achievements and was the one who truly had military power.

Unless Huan Bin and Hu Jinghui were both dead, he would never be able to become a general.

People always want to move up, and Gao Huan also wants to make progress.

Li Cunxi stood there, and in just a moment, he understood Gao Huan's intention.

"It's good to want to make progress. It's human nature. I support you."

Gao Huan's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked delighted.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Sir, I wonder how I can improve myself?"

Li Cunxi smiled meaningfully and said, "Do you know the two new generals of the Right Jade Guard?"

Gao Huan said: "Of course I know. One is a former Khitan general named Li Kaigu, and the other is Song Wuji, a brave general of the Right Guard."

"That's right. They grew up in the midst of swords and guns. If you go to the battlefield, you will probably be able to gain some great merit and move up a level."

"My lord, my lord." Gao Huan was anxious, "It would be inappropriate for me to go to the battlefield again at my age."

"Oh, unwilling to make achievements on the battlefield..." Li Cunxi touched his chin, "If that's the case, then I can't help General Gao improve."

Gao Huan was eclipsed, but she caught a glimpse of the subtle changes in Li Cunxi's expression from the corner of her eye.

"Master Li, I will take you to the palace right now and come to your house in person in two days."

After leaving Taichu Palace, Li Cunxi and Gao Huan said goodbye and agreed to meet in the mansion after the small court meeting two days later.

Ma Rong had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When he saw Li Cunxi being escorted out with gifts, he helped Li Cunxi into the carriage and sat down safely.

In another carriage, Wu Yanhao yawned and opened the curtain:

"Done?"

In the darkness, several figures walked out and came to the outside of Li Cunxi's carriage.

Li Cunxi, who was already exhausted, nodded and said:

"Starting tomorrow, His Majesty will order the eight gates to be opened and allow them to escape from Luoyang."

"Alright everyone, see you at the small court meeting in two days. I'm going back to rest, so go away now."

Everyone said "go go go" and then walked back to their respective homes.

When everyone left, Huang Shengyan, who had left long ago, suddenly turned back, showed his inner guard badge to the gate guards, and swaggered into Taichu Palace.

After half an incense stick of time, Huang Shengyan knelt on one knee and bowed to Wu Zetian.

"Your Majesty, your servant Huang Shengyan greets you."

"Get up." Wu Zetian opened a book in her hand and did not even look at Huang Shengyan below. "Did you find anything unusual?"

"The demon spirit and the shadow have been following Lord Li. From what they said, we learned that it was General Hu Jinghui who killed Xiao Qingfang with a single blow and cut off Xiao Qingfang's head to present to Your Majesty."

"That is to say, there is nothing unusual." Wu Zetian closed the book in her hand. "Since Cunxi and the Snake Spirits are not colluding, let those Snake Spirit rebels go. As Cunxi said, as long as they stay in Luoyang for one day, they will be a huge threat."

"Yes... there is one more thing. The three leaders who fled with Xiao Qingfang have completely disappeared. It's as if they have evaporated from the face of the earth."

"The three of them... if we can catch them, we'll catch them. If we can't catch them, forget it. We can't really dig up the ground in Luoyang."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Shengyan, from today on, you are one of the people I trust the most. Don't disappoint me like Xiao Qingfang."

Huang Shengyan knelt on the ground instead, and slammed his forehead heavily on the hard floor: "I am willing to die for your majesty!"

……

Huang Shengyan came quickly and left quickly.

Only after the other person had walked down the stairs and gradually moved away from Ganlu Palace did Wu Zetian lie down on the couch, her body sideways.

"Is there something wrong with him?" Wu Zetian asked calmly.

In the shadows, a girl with a slightly childish face walked out, her eyes filled with cold light.

"No, I haven't noticed anything unusual about General Huang. He is the same as before, doing what he likes and what he knows. I can tell at a glance."

The thin Phoenix spoke softly and did not believe that there was anything wrong with Huang Shengyan.

"I believe him, and I am willing to believe him. But Xiao Qingfang's incident has reminded me, and I dare not let down my guard. You continue to help me keep an eye on him, and never let your guard down, understand?"

"I will obey your orders!"

……

Because the chain reaction caused by Xiao Qingfang's betrayal has not ended yet.

The chief minister of the Inner Guards is not a good job now, and the person on the throne cannot trust the chief minister of the Inner Guards wholeheartedly.

Without the emperor's trust, it is easy to imagine how many obstacles Huang Shengyan will face next.

After returning home, Li Cunxi took a bath and changed his clothes with the help of a Western dancer, then returned to his room and waited until his hair was dry before falling asleep.

At this time, the dawn had already begun in the sky.

Far away in Khitan.

The sky was still dark. Sun Wanrong, the Khitan Grand Marshal who had been suffering from injuries for a long time, waved his hand to signal the doctor to leave, and then slowly glanced at the many generals in the camp.

"Generalissimo."

"Generalissimo."

"Generalissimo!"

"Grand Marshal, woo ...

A group of fierce and brave generals cried together, unwilling to accept the final fate of Sun Wanrong.

Sun Wanrong half-closed his eyes and asked, "Where is the Khan?"

"The Khan is coming soon. The Turks are attacking fiercely and the Khan is still mobilizing troops." A fierce general said tearfully.

"So that's how it is." Sun Wanrong felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier.

Just then, a man broke in, pushed everyone away, and squatted beside Sun Wanrong's bed.

"Wanrong, I'm here." Li Jinzhong held Sun Wanrong's right hand between his palms, tears streaming down his face.
