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

Chapter 571 Hypocrisy

"Since it was Duke Qin who asked me to do so, I will definitely send someone to investigate thoroughly."

"No matter what, I must be trying to find out something for Duke Qin. Of course, if I can't find anything, I can only say sorry."

Yuan Qi held his head high.

His expression was extremely arrogant.

At this moment, he once again became His Royal Highness Prince Ying who looked down upon the world.

He was originally a royal noble. If he was not guilty, how could he be so servile to a mere Duke of Qin?

Nowadays, there is some of the outstanding grace of His Royal Highness Prince Ying.

"As long as His Royal Highness Prince Ying is willing to investigate, Cun Xi will be grateful. There is no need to be so polite."

"Even if nothing is found in the end, Cunxi should be grateful."

Li Cunxi cupped his hands.

The two of them exchanged some pleasantries and then stood up. Everyone invited each other to the main hall, asked the waiter to serve tea, and sat down as host and guest.

Then, of course, they started talking and bragging. Yuan Qi kept mentioning Li Cunxi's great achievements over the years, and Li Cunxi kept talking about Yuan Qi's numerous military exploits in the early years of the conquest of Xu Jingye.

For a moment, both sides were satisfied and praised each other highly.

Wu Yanhao and Lu Dayou, who had come to eat, were looking for some fun, but suddenly they heard Yuan Qi say "the two right-hand men of Duke Qin". They were dragged into the conversation without noticing, and could only accompany him and say some polite words.

Everyone is polite and hypocritical. You flatter me and I flatter you, and that's how they talk.

It was not until noon that Li Cunxi stood up to say goodbye. Yuan Qi tried hard to keep him, so he reluctantly sent Li Cunxi and his group out.

At the main gate of Prince Ying's Mansion, Li Cunxi and Yuan Qi held hands, unwilling to let go.

"Your Highness Prince Ying, you must know that after sending you a thousand miles away, there will be a farewell. Let's stop here today."

"Duke Qin and I hit it off right away. It's no exaggeration to say that we are close friends and close friends, brothers. Naturally, I should send him to the carriage."

Dearest friends and family?

Siblings?

Li Cunxi has already started reciting the Three Character Classic in his mind.

He didn't expect Yuan Qi to be so polite.

He learned all of Brother Jia Qian’s unique skills.

How could they not be beloved relatives, friends, brothers and sisters?

Sending someone to assassinate Li Cunxi would cost at least 100,000 taels of silver.

This is so brotherly.

Although he had already begun to curse Yuan Qi's old mother in his heart, his expression did not change at all. Li Cunxi said solemnly:

"I hope the brotherhood between you and me will last forever."

“Don’t be like duckweed in the wind, which will blow you to who knows where.”

"Before meeting His Royal Highness Prince Ying, Cun Xi had met countless people who treated me like a family member just like His Royal Highness Prince Ying, but in the end, they parted ways unhappily and were separated forever."

"I just hope that the brotherhood between you and me can be far better than before, and don't add another tragedy."

Yuan Qi is also an excellent actor, and his eyes immediately filled with tears.

"If my brother doesn't let me down, I'm sure I won't let him down either."

The two were reluctant to part, and Li Cunxi got on the carriage under Yuan Qi's gaze.

Everyone returned to their seats, and the carriage headed for the street corner under the escort of the Thousand Bull Guards Cavalry.

The moment the carriage turned the corner, Li Cunxi sneered, and Yuan Qi at the gate of Prince Ying's mansion also spat.

Yuan Qi: "This grandson called me today."

Li Cunxi: "Fuck you, I'll kill you in a few days."

Although both of them were unhappy, they both did a good job of pretending to be happy.

After returning to the official ship, Li Cunxi waited for the two people to return.

It was not until the evening that Feng Keyan and Li Han returned to the official ship, walked into the ship's tower and bowed to Li Cunxi.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness Duke Qin!"

"Greetings, His Royal Highness Duke Qin!"

"No need to be so polite. Sit down first and tell me what clues you found from Xianhu."

Feng Keyan and Li Han then sat down and said seriously, "Your Highness, it turns out that someone is deceiving the superiors and the subordinates."

Li Cunxi nodded suddenly and said, "Then the two adults can tell us about it."

Then, Feng Keyan and Li Han started talking to each other about the information they had heard from Xianhu.

After listening for half an hour, Li Cunxi and others finally understood what the people in Yangzhou City did.

In other words, he vomited out all the meat he had eaten before, and temporarily restored Yangzhou City to its original appearance. After Li Cunxi and others left, he still intercepted salt ships and smuggled salt.

"By the way, Lord Li, the tenants also said that someone threatened them not to tell anyone. I think this was done by someone from the Governor's Mansion."

Finally, Feng Keyan added another sentence.

"Hehe, seven out of ten officials in the Yangzhou Governor's Office are beasts on the same pirate ship. It's within my expectation that they would say such dirty things."

"Just wait and see, Minister Feng. They will soon understand that their so-called plan is nothing but shit in front of me."

"I will use my absolute strength to make them fall into the bottomless abyss and never dare to show off their little intelligence again."

Li Cunxi smiled coldly, with endless murderous intent hidden in his eyes.

Feng Keyan bowed.

"If we can solve a major case this time, I will definitely move up a level, and I will definitely follow your lead in the future."

Having worked as the Minister of Works for so many years, Feng Keyan also wanted to move up.

How many people in this world don’t want to make progress?

Li Han's eyes were clear as he said, "Your Excellency is dedicated to eliminating harm for the people, and you are a rare good official. I have always cared about the people. If you can bring peace to Yangzhou, I will certainly follow your lead."

Li Cunxi was very satisfied and said, "I am really flattered by your two Excellencies. If that's the case, then it's a deal."

……

late at night.

Crouching Tiger Village.

According to the instructions from the superiors, Bao Chong led the brothers from the four halls to move. They closed the gate of Wohu Manor and headed towards Yangzhou City under the moonlight.

After walking only a mile or two, Bao Chong, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped.

His sixth sense told him that something bad was about to happen.

But now they were walking on the road, it was bright in all directions, but they couldn't see a single thief, and they didn't know how bad things would happen.

"Strange, my perception was fine in the past."

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that someone is trying to trick us?"

Bao Chong clenched the Guandao tightly with both hands, looked around vigilantly, and also ordered his men to keep an eye on all directions.

Everyone wasted a whole cup of tea's time but found nothing, so they began to relax.

Bao Chong looked around with a frown, still worried, so he ordered his men to go into the woods on both sides and search carefully, but again nothing was found, so he had to move forward with his subordinates.

After walking more than a mile forward, nothing happened and Bao Chong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's strange that nothing has happened yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bao Chong stopped.

Under the moonlight, I saw an oncoming horse galloping hundreds of meters away.

That’s more than a hundred riders!
