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

Chapter 240 Development of the situation

The battlefield was not large, and the internal guards brought by Xiao Qingfang quickly cleaned up the battlefield.

After this battle, the Internal Guards lost more than ten people, but Xiao Qingfang was very happy to accept this casualty ratio. Few died and many were killed, so the Internal Guards must have gained.

The inner guards who were responsible for chasing Qi Hai, Bao Chong, and Shi Xiong did not return until noon. They said to Xiao Qingfang who was camping on the spot:

"Grand Lord, we are back."

"What's going on?" Xiao Qingfang asked with a frown, "Two seriously injured and one exhausted, and you haven't caught up with these three people yet?"

"We caught up with them." The inner guard answered honestly, "We not only caught up with them, but we almost killed them. However, one of them, Qi Hai, the one who defeated Shadow-sama, chopped off the suspension bridge with one strike of his sword, and we didn't catch up with him."

"What are their three names? Do you know them?"

"Except for Qi Hai, the other two seem to be named Bao Chong, Shi Xiong or something like that. The Iron Hand Group is really a bunch of beasts, their names are all beastly."

"Okay, you go."

Xiao Qingfang came to Li Cunxi and Wu Yanhao in a state of upset and told them what happened.

After hearing this, Li Cunxi tried hard not to laugh. Not only was Chen Yiqu not injured, but he also rescued Bao Chong and Shi Xiong.

Although three hall masters were killed, Chen Yiqu was not primarily responsible. By saving Bao Chong and Shi Xiong, Chen Yiqu had made a great contribution, and he would definitely have more say in the Iron Hand Group after returning.

Li Cunxi almost laughed out loud when he thought about the two big nails buried in the Iron Hand Group.

"No need to catch them anymore. The Iron Hands are all killers. It is extremely difficult for us to catch the Iron Hands who can hide. Let's pack up and go back to Luoyang."

"Okay." Xiao Qingfang nodded and was about to give orders immediately.

"Wait." Li Cunxi stopped him and said, "General Xiao, can I see the demon spirit under your command? He is the one who killed three Iron Hand Group leaders by himself, and then seriously injured two leaders and drove away the last leader."

Xiao Qingfang glanced at the temporary resting place of the inner guards and said, "Shadow, call the demon spirit over."

The shadow had already recovered, and knew how horrible the wounds on the demon's body were. However, after hearing Xiao Qingfang's words, he seemed to be accustomed to it. He strolled to the resting place, and within half a cup of tea, he brought over the demon with its upper body wrapped in bandages.

The demon's face was not resolute. If you ignored the bandages wrapped around his upper body, he would even have the elegance of an ordinary scholar.

The demon spirit clasped his fists carelessly and said, "I wonder which lord wants to see me."

"I." Li Cunxi said lightly, and then circled around the evil spirit.

The biggest blood cow in the five-part Detective Di Renjie series, no doubt about it. Although he looks thin, his hidden potential is unlimited.

Li Cunxi is a rare top lane pure meat warrior with high resistance, high blood, high recovery and control. If such a man is his bodyguard, would he still be afraid of being assassinated?

"He is truly a man of heaven." Li Cunxi praised.

"Thank you for the compliment, sir." The demon spirit responded.

"Okay, everyone, get ready to go back."

"Yes."

……

The horses went directly to Luoyang, and Li Cunxi and others also came to Taichu Palace to see the emperor.

Wu Zetian sat upright on the dragon bed in the Linde Hall, quietly watching Li Cunxi and his group below.

Led by Xiao Qingfang, the five people lined up below and kowtowed to Wu Zetian, praising her wisdom and bravery. They also emphasized that it was because of Wu Zetian's bravery that the five people were able to return to Luoyang safely.

Wu Zetian already knew everything about the Battle of Enjizhuang, and she was in a very good mood as all the rebels had surrendered. Huang Shengyan from the Internal Guard House also sent back news that Chen Luo, who had been tortured to a pulp, had confessed everything, including Princess Taiping, the mastermind behind the battle, and a very influential young man.

It makes sense. How could Princess Taiping, the powerless imperial teacher, and He Yun, a horse breeder, possibly attract so many forces?

Wu Zetian showed a delighted look on her face, stretched out her hands, and said loudly:

"My dears, please get up."

"Come here, give you all seats."

Under the leadership of Xiao Qingfang, Li Cunxi, Wu Yanhao, Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang thanked God again, then stood up and sat down on the chairs brought by the eunuchs.

"Come here, pass the confession of the traitor Chen Luo to my trusted generals, so that they can take a good look at it."

A eunuch took the confession from Wu Zetian, tiptoed over to it, and handed it to Xiao Qingfang, the chief of the Internal Guard Bureau.

After Xiao Qingfang read through the entire confession quickly, her pupils suddenly dilated. After taking a deep breath, she immediately handed the confession to Li Cunxi.

Li Cunxi read it once and passed it to Wu Yanhao. Wu Yanhao also read it once and passed it to Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang.

After several people had looked at it, Wu Zetian at the top finally revealed an ambiguous smile.

"Chen Luo has confessed that they offered 100,000 taels of silver to buy Cunxi's life from the Iron Hand Group. Cunxi, the Iron Hand Group assassins who ambushed you on your way back were brought here by them."

Li Cunxi below smiled without commenting, but dropped another bombshell.

"Your Majesty probably doesn't know that there are more than one person in the court who wants me, Li Cunxi, dead. I have another piece of news. There is another group of people who have offered 100,000 taels of silver to buy my life from the Iron Hand Group."

"Oh, who are these people?"

Wu Zetian smiled with her eyes narrowed, her eyes filled with coldness.

"If I say so, will Your Majesty make the decision for me?"

"Now that you've said that, I probably know who the other person is who wants to kill you, but I can't help you. I need him."

"Then let's not talk about this person. In my opinion, the person who wants my life may not be the one Chen Luo betrayed, but another one in the court."

"Oh, how do you say this?"

"This person is from the Wu family, how could he treat Your Majesty like this?"

"Hehehe, what do you think?"

"I have another plan. I will go to court tomorrow to confront the ministers."

"Well, okay, I'm very happy to see you confront the ministers, but if Li's old ministers are involved, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain to Di Huaiying, right?"

Li Cunxi looked at Wu Zetian, who had a smile on her face but cold eyes, and he made up his mind, stood up and knelt down at the steps.

"I am willing to sacrifice my life for your majesty, even if it means death!"

Wu Zetian stood up and waved her sleeves:

"Okay, at the grand court meeting tomorrow, I will order you to take over as the Shao Yin of Henan Prefecture and have full authority to handle the follow-up matters of the Bleeding Eagle case. If any official in Luozhou resists, you can do whatever you want!"
