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

Chapter 772 Wu Chengsi: You Forgot 3 Thoughts

When we left Di Mansion, it was already dusk.

The clouds rolled, and the fiery red clouds covered half of the sky.

The street vendors had not yet closed their stalls and continued to hawk their wares. Li Cunxi stepped onto a small stool and got on the carriage, waving to his three nephews who came out to see him off.

"Go back and study hard. Sooner or later you will be in a high position."

Di Botong, Di Zong and Di Ke all bowed and watched the carriage leave.

Qiao Tai looked straight ahead and asked, "Your Majesty, where are we going next?"

"Let's go to my mentor's house, A Tai, please walk slowly."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

A quarter of an hour later, Qiao Tai, who was reluctant to leave, finally sent Li Cunxi to the main gate of Prince Wei's mansion.

As soon as the luxurious carriage, which was exactly the same as the one the King of Wei was riding, stopped, someone came up with a smile, knelt beside the carriage, and waited for Li Cunxi to step on him to get off.

"That's quite sensible."

Qiao Tai came down with a smile, supported Li Cunxi, and stepped on the servants to the ground.

"Atai, reward."

Li Cunxi said lightly.

Qiao Tai took out five taels of silver and threw it to the servant who had climbed up. The servant held the silver with a smile and bowed to Li Cunxi.

"Thank you, Your Highness, the Prince of Qin, for the reward. Thank you, Your Highness, the Prince of Qin, for the reward."

The servants who couldn't run as fast as him had distress in their eyes. These were all free rewards, and they would not refuse them if they were not given up.

All you have to do is run fast and kneel on the ground, but no one ran as fast as that guy.

The coachman looked at it for a long time and then came over. He carefully helped Qiao Tai park the carriage to the side before coming back.

When Qiao Tai saw that the groom was so sensible, he rewarded him with two taels of silver without Li Cunxi asking him to say anything.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward. Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."

Through the main gate, you can see that someone has already walked out of the main hall and is walking towards the gate through the courtyard.

"His Royal Highness King Qin."

The first person to walk out was Wu Yanji, the prince of Wei. He saluted Li Cunxi.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome."

Li Cunxi responded and walked inside under the guidance of Wu Yanji.

Before he had taken two steps, he saw Wu Yanhao lagging behind.

"Why did Brother Yanhao come out too?"

"Hey, isn't this to welcome you? I thought you weren't coming today. Did something happen?"

"It's a long story. I just remembered something and came to ask my mentor for some advice."

"I've already been to Lord Di's place, right? I wonder what Lord Di said?"

"I've been in the Di residence for the entire day. As for this matter, I can't explain it in a few words. I'll explain it in detail when I see my mentor."

The three of them entered the main hall and saw Wu Chengsi and Wu Chengye drinking tea.

Wu Chengye, the famous Changshan Prince in the Wu family, said to Wu Chengsi with emotion:

"The last time I saw him, he was just an exile. It's only been a few years, and I have to stand up to greet him."

Li Cunxi heard Wu Chengye's sigh, stepped into the room and said:

"Even if the Prince of Changshan doesn't want to greet me, I still have to talk to him nicely, right?"

Wu Chengye chuckled, stood up and said:

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is here, what else can I say? Of course I have to stand up and greet him."

Li Cunxi cupped his hands and said, "I still have to thank the Prince of Changshan for not killing me."

When he first entered Chang'an, Wu Chengye didn't kill him, which could be considered as Wu Chengye doing him a favor. You know, Wu Sansi really wanted to kill him.

"Teacher, I came to visit you."

Li Cunxi turned to Wu Chengsi again, smiling like spring breeze.

"Hurry up and ask the servants to bring tea."

Wu Chengsi was extremely proud and said, "Chengye, look, I've always said this: do more good deeds and don't always think twice before studying. That will cause trouble sooner or later."

He looked at Li Cunxi again and asked, "What happened?"

Li Cunxi gave a thumbs up: "My mentor is indeed as clear as a mirror."

Afterwards, Li Cunxi recounted what had happened in the Imperial Garden.

Especially the emperor's reaction after he suspected there was a traitor.

Obviously, Li Cunxi was not the only one who suspected that there was a traitor. Even the emperor suspected that there was a traitor and turned his attention to the kings of the Wu family.

"I don't know. What does Di Huaiying say?"

"After some thought, my uncle felt that this prince's identity might not be simple. Perhaps, this person is active in the court."

"Active in the court?"

Wu Chengsi took a sip of tea and frowned.

Among the kings of the Wu family, many are active in the court.

Looking at the team of princes of the Wu family headed by him, Wu Sansi, Wu Yizong, Wu Sizong, Wu Youde, Wu Youning, Wu Youji and Wu Youzhi, it seems that this is possible.

"It seems that the investigation should start from me!"

"We must find all the traitors before things get any worse."

"If something goes wrong at this critical juncture when the relationship between the two families is gradually recovering, I'm afraid there will be bloodshed."

Wu Chengsi also knew that the situation was serious. There might be more than one traitor in the Wu family. As the most powerful prince of the Wu family, how could he tolerate it?

For the sake of the Great Zhou and the Wu family, this matter must not be resolved until the truth is revealed.

"Teacher, how do you think we should investigate?"

"We don't have even the slightest clue yet."

Li Cunxi took the tea from the servant and took a sip.

Wu Chengsi, who was stunned by his question, closed his eyes, and a look of helplessness flashed across his face for a moment.

But soon, he opened his eyes and his look became firm and unwavering.

"I do have a plan, but I'm sorry to inconvenience one of my brothers."

When Wu Chengye heard this, his eyes widened.

"No, brother, what are you doing?"

"I am your brother, are you wronging me?"

"Besides, I don't hold a position in the court. I'm not even a high-ranking official. I'm just someone who does dirty work. Don't treat me unfairly!"

"You all have filthy hearts. The grievances you talk about might just push me out and make me the target of public criticism!"

"If His Majesty gets upset and chops off my head, your nephews and nieces will be left without a father!"

"I won't do that!"

Wu Chengye was very panicked, he knew too well what kind of person his brother was.

This is a person who can do whatever he wants to do immediately, and has a high probability of getting it done.

Even if this kind of person is your brother, if you really want to mess with him, he will suffer a lot.

Thinking of this, Wu Chengye quickly stood up and said:

"Brother, I won't stay in the Prince of Wei's Mansion any longer. I'm going back to Chang'an tonight. Don't even think about messing with me. As soon as I get to Chang'an, I'll deny whatever you say about me."

After saying that, Wu Chengye pretended to leave.

"You are such a fool. You are my brother. How could I kill you?" Wu Chengsi whispered.

"Get back here and drink your tea. Why would I bother talking to a brainless person like you about this?"

"Who said I'd wrong you? Are you my only brother?"

Wu Chengye was confused and scratched his head, "Didn't our mother only give birth to you and me? Could it be that you have other brothers?"

Wu Chengsi knocked on the table: "Have you forgotten to think twice?"
