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

Chapter 777: Fire in the Inner Guard House

But no matter what, until the truth of the case comes to light, all of this is just speculation.

At this point, Li Cunxi had no evidence to prove that these princes of the Wu family had colluded to sell out their country for personal gain.

There is also another reason, that is, Wu Yizong and Wu Chengsi have a close relationship. If Wu Yizong is one of the masterminds behind the scenes, how should Wu Chengsi deal with it?

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't find a suitable reason to exclude Wu Yizong.

Feeling depressed, he left the study and called Ma Rong and Qiao Tai. The three of them left the Prince of Qin's Mansion together and headed straight for the Prince of Wei's Mansion.

In the study of Prince Wei's mansion, Wu Chengsi pondered for a long time, and finally found Wu Yanhao and said:

"I have a terrible idea."

"This time the Turks colluded with the Khitan to attack our Great Zhou. The masterminds behind this must be several princes of our Wu family."

"Your father is afraid that he will be taken in."

Wu Yanhao was confused and asked:

"Dad, what do you mean? You're not the mastermind behind this. What are you worried about?"

Wu Chengsi's face turned grim, and he asked his good son:

"What if Wu Yizong is also in cahoots with them?"

Wu Chengsi's words were shocking. This question was like a bolt from the blue, and Wu Yanhao was unable to react for a long time.

If Wu Yizong got involved, then no matter whether Wu Yizong finally implicated Wu Chengsi or not, all officials would think that Wu Chengsi was the same as Wu Yizong.

The reason is very simple. All the civil and military officials in the court knew that Wu Chengsi and Wu Yizong were in cahoots!

"I've been hunting eagles all my life, but I never expected to get my eye pecked by an eagle!"

"Damn it, we have to find a solution immediately, otherwise we'll be dragged into a ditch."

The sense of crisis of death urged Wu Chengsi, and he quickly thought of a breakthrough.

"If we assume that Wu Yizong is indeed one of the masterminds behind this, then he must have had some benefits to come up with this idea!"

"He's already a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and has even been granted the title of Prince of Hanoi. Yanhao, tell me, what is he after?"

Wu Yanhao was extremely nervous, but luckily his mind worked quickly and he quickly said:

"The throne!"

"Dad, if my uncle really wants to rebel, then he must want the throne!"

Wu Chengsi clapped his hands.

He could almost conclude that the mastermind behind this was a powerful person, and it must be Wu Sansi if not Wu Yizong.

Wu Yizong, who holds military power, may have really big ambitions!

"He and Wu Sizong are both generals of the same army. What do you think would happen if he launched a coup?"

Wu Chengsi turned around with his hands behind his back.

"Moreover, if he is really the mastermind behind this, Wu Sansi must be his accomplice, because Wu Sansi is one of the few assistants he currently has, and Wu Youning and Wu Sansi have a close relationship. No matter what the reason is, as long as Wu Yizong is the mastermind behind this, he will definitely cooperate with Wu Sansi."

The more he analyzed, the more frightened Wu Chengsi became.

He was not trying to scare himself. He knew very well that if these people rebelled together, Luoyang would be in chaos in an instant.

"Your Majesty, the King of Qin is here."

The housekeeper came in hurriedly, followed by Li Cunxi.

"Okay! Go down and make some tea. No need to rush to bring it."

Wu Chengsi sent the housekeeper away and pulled Li Cunxi into the main hall.

"Cunxi, without further ado, I'll tell you my conclusion right away!"

At the same time, a team of fast horses headed straight for Fangzhou.

From God's perspective, tonight, Li Dan, the Prince of Fangzhou, has received a letter. He read it carefully, closed the letter, and glanced at his young son Li Longji who was not far away.

"I've made things so difficult for you, my son. Whatever, whatever, this damn chaotic era should end. It's time for my Li Tang dynasty to return."

"For the sake of our father and the empire, we, the descendants of the Li family, must be prepared!"

He was talking to himself with a smile, but no one knew what he was thinking.

Luoyang, East Palace.

Crown Prince Li Xian suddenly ordered everyone to eat and drink well for a few days, saying that the past few years had been too stressful and it was time to relax.

It was surprising that this order could come out of the mouth of Crown Prince Li Xian. It was not until the fine wine and delicious food were served to the eunuchs and palace maids that these servants realized that this was actually true.

Li Xian said with a smile: "Yes, eat more, eat more...soon you won't be able to eat anymore, eat more."

He entered the Crown Princess's room and started to play with her slowly, treating her as a plug-in.

……

In the Prince of Wei's Mansion, the three people who were unaware of the changes in the Eastern Palace and the Prince of Fangzhou's Mansion were still discussing fiercely how they should respond if Wu Yizong was really in cahoots with Wu Sansi.

At least, as of now, the mastermind behind this wants to start a war himself, and his purpose is definitely to seize the throne at a critical moment.

To seize the throne, one must have sufficient military force, at least an army in hand.

Yesterday, neither Li Cunxi, Wu Chengsi, nor Di Renjie had thought of this, so they chose to lure the snake out of its hole.

Looking back now, I was too relaxed yesterday and almost forgot that there might be more than one person behind the scenes.

"Then our plan to lure the snake out of its hole would be ruined, wouldn't it?"

Wu Yanhao thought for a while and asked the most important question.

"No, actually not. According to our deduction, whether Wu Sansi is the mastermind or not, he is closely related to this case!"

"If the mastermind is indeed Wu Yizong, the Prince of Hanoi, then Wu Sansi should also be an accomplice!"

"But if the mastermind is Wu Sansi, then it would be perfect for us to arrest him. By the way, we can also see if there is any problem with Hanoi Prince Wu Yizong."

Li Cunxi took a sip of the bitter tea and immediately felt refreshed.

"Perhaps, our breakthrough lies in the Inner Guard Palace!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Go to the Inner Guard House and have Huang Shengyan torture him severely. We'll definitely get to the bottom of this!"

When it came to matters concerning the rise and fall of the Wu family, Wu Chengsi had no time to care about the friendship between his cousins.

Even if he had to beat Wu Sansi to death, he had to know the details of this plan.

Otherwise, if something unexpected happens in the future and other members of the Wu family are implicated, the Wu family may be lost in the long river of history.

The three of them had no time to pack up, so they hurried out and got on the carriage that Wu Chengsi gave to Li Cunxi, and rushed all the way to the Inner Guard Palace.

Halfway through the journey, Ma Rong saw flames rising into the sky ahead. He was surprised and said:

"What's the fire there?"

At this moment, seven or eight riders on fast horses passed them and hurried towards the direction where the flames were rising into the sky.

Li Cunxi lifted the curtain and saw clearly that the person in charge was Huang Shengyan, the chief of the Inner Guard Bureau.

"That direction seems to be the Inner Guard Palace. The one who just passed by seems to be the Inner Guard Palace Chief Huang Shengyan. Ma Rong, hurry, catch up!"

Wu Yanhao was very confused and asked, "How could a place like the Inner Guard House possibly be flooded?"

"Who the hell doesn't want to live anymore and sets the Inner Guard House on fire?"
