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

Chapter 215 Xuguzi leaves, assassination or not

Princess Taiping was like a drowning person who had grabbed a life-saving straw. She hurriedly stood up and undressed Xuguzi.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she knelt in front of Xuguzi, Xuguzi reached out to stop her.

"Don't be like this, be careful not to pass the trial, cough cough."

"That's what the Taoist said."

"Well, the Internal Guard probably didn't find He Yun, so they can only look for my apprentice, hoping to get some information. However, my apprentice will definitely not tell them, so they are gambling."

"What are you gambling?"

"I bet that my disciple was afraid of death and told them the news." Xuguzi spread his hands, "But it is obvious that my disciple didn't tell them anything, so they are at a loss now."

"The Taoist priest is right." Princess Taiping returned to her chair and sat down. "But I still feel uneasy."

"Stay calm. When you start to panic, you are not far from failure. Only when you focus on this matter, you can find a turning point. I firmly believe that we can win the final victory, so I can keep my emotions stable no matter what the situation is."

"The Taoist priest is truly a god, so what should we do next?"

"Just wait and see. I will go out of the city today to look for He Yun. I guess he has gotten involved with that group of people."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Taoist priest." Princess Taiping sobbed, "I can only rely on you, Taoist priest."

"Princess don't worry."

Xuguzi stood up and bowed deeply.

Xuguzi had never been so grand before, let alone such a sincere bow.

Princess Taiping, who had never been treated like this by Xuguzi, took a deep breath, stepped forward and supported Xuguzi.

"Master, please stand up!"

"Princess, I am going there to rebel. I am afraid that I will die and never see you again in my life. I hope you take care of yourself!"

"Master, you have gone through so many hardships and dangers, all for me. I hope you will take good care of yourself!"

"Princess, the Taoist priest is leaving!"

Xuguzi looked at Princess Taiping affectionately, then let go of Princess Taiping's hand, flicked his sleeves, and strode out of Princess Taiping's mansion.

After leaving Princess Taiping's mansion, Xuguzi, who had been extremely affectionate, suddenly changed.

He wiped his hands with disdain, lowered his head and said to himself:

"I reminded you one last time when we said goodbye. This is the money I spent living in your house, eating and sleeping with you."

"From now on, there will be no more favors between you and me. If you can't get out of this, even if you die, it will have nothing to do with me!"

"The heaven and earth are vast and mighty. I am going to seek refuge on my own Purple Star!"

Xuguzi swaggered out of Chang'an and headed towards Yongchang County.

……

Yangzhou, the secret room in Prince Ying’s Palace.

This is the headquarters of the Iron Hand Group. The heads of each hall are sitting on their own chairs, and only the three chairs at the end are empty.

The 20th hall master Hu Wei and the 21st hall master Zhang Zhi are still in Luoyang and have not returned. The 22nd hall master Lin Yang has not shown up since the first general meeting of all members.

Sect leader Yuan Qi was walking among the crowd, holding a letter.

"Thank God, there's news from Hu Wei."

"This letter contains information about Li Cunxi. You don't know much about this Li Cunxi, and I want to tell you about his background."

"It is precisely because this person's background is too powerful that I cannot act arbitrarily and directly order you to kill him. After I finish talking about this person's background, I hope you can vote on whether to launch an assassination mission against this person."

Second brother Hu Yun looked confused.

Although he had not read the letter, he knew Yuan Qi's temper.

What kind of person is Yuan Qi? He is cruel and ruthless, does all kinds of evil, is domineering and violent. He always says what he means and will never discuss anything with them.

The last time I discussed this with them was because the order was too big.

The reason for discussing this with them was because Li Cunxi’s status was too powerful.

How terrifying must this identity be to make Yuan Qi think of not taking direct action?

"Master, does this person have a powerful background?" Hu Yun asked.

"It's not an exaggeration to say that he is a great hero!" Yuan Qi frowned and said, "Li Cunxi, thirteen years old, almost fourteen, is the eighth son of the late Huang Guogong Li Ai. Ten years ago, the Huang Guogong's mansion was massacred and he was only three years old. On the road to exile, he was rescued by the current prime minister and internal historian Di Renjie and raised in the Di Mansion in Shanxi."

Yuan Qi sighed as he walked.

"This child was extremely lucky. He grew up smoothly in the Di Mansion in Shanxi until he was ten years old. He went south and found Di Renjie, who was the magistrate of Penghu County in Jiangzhou. Three years later, he became quite famous in Penghu County. Last September, he followed Di Renjie to Chang'an and parted ways in Jiangzhang County. He met Your Majesty as an exile and survived successfully."

"Not only did the prime minister, Wenchang Zuo Xiang, and King of Wei Wu Chengsi have high hopes for him, he also had a close relationship with Li Cunxi and even accepted Li Cunxi as his student and went to court for Li Cunxi."

"Li Cunxi is not a simple man either. He first followed Di Renjie to solve the Youzhou case, and all the rebels died. Li Cunxi was promoted to the eighth rank, upper supervisory censor. After that, he solved the Huzhou case and was promoted to the sixth rank, upper councillor. Finally, he solved the Xuefu tragedy and was promoted to the sixth rank, lower councillor."

"In more than three months, he solved three cases in a row. Your Majesty called him an important minister and a loyal minister of the country. For such a person, 100,000 taels of silver is too cheap. We should increase the price."

"Do you think we should take action?"

The twenty hall masters either closed their eyes and pretended to rest, or pretended to be deaf and didn't hear anything.

Long Feng, who was closest to Yuan Qi, simply blinked his big innocent eyes. I looked at him and he seemed like a very smart person.

Before, I had suspected that Li Cunxi’s background was Tongtian Huyun, but now he closed his eyes, his mouth opened and closed, as if he was asleep.

The Sixth Hall Master, Yun Gu, stood up and said, "Master, I have something to say."

The hall masters who were pretending to be asleep or deaf immediately became alert and sat up straight, ready to see what Yun Gu had to say.

Yuan Qi also pointed at Yun Gu and said loudly: "What do you want to say? Say it out loud."

"Master, Li Cunxi can die, but we must not assassinate him."

"Give me a reason."

"Di Renjie is known as a great detective, and Li Cunxi is also a master of strategy. It's good that the assassination was successful and no clues were left. If the assassination failed, they would have found us sooner or later."

"That makes sense. Keep going."

"We have some understanding of the Youzhou case. Those people are ruthless villains who can kill people without leaving any bones. You can imagine how powerful they are. I'm afraid Li Cunxi also has extraordinary martial arts skills." Yun Gu said seriously.

"That makes sense!" The more Yuan Qi listened, the more he felt it made sense.

Long Feng leaned back.

As for the Youzhou case, he was very qualified to comment on it. That night, he and Ma Rong disguised themselves as the Nineteen Thieves of Baihelin and killed all the rebels.

As for Li Cunxi's martial arts ability...it's hard to say.

"So, Master, I don't think we can assassinate him!"
