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

Chapter 521: Bachelor's Fortune

"Yanhao, it's okay to be like this on ordinary days, but you can't be like this in the court."

As Wu Yanhao's cousin, Wu Yizong couldn't help but remind him.

After Wu Chengsi was exiled in his early years, Wu Yizong only saw his other children, Wu Yanji, Wu Yanxiu and Wu Yan'an, when they were half-grown.

But Wu Yanhao is different.

Wu Yanhao grew up under the eyes of Emperor Wu Yizong, and he experienced many hardships and hardships outside.

Wu Yizong didn't want Wu Yanhao to be like his bastard father in the future. He had been the head of all officials for ten years, but ended up lying in bed and not attending court, or sleeping in the court.

God knows how many times the Imperial Censor Li Zhaode reported Wu Chengsi.

If Wu Zetian had not been Wu Chengsi's aunt, Wu Chengsi's grave would have been covered with grass three feet high.

What's more, Wu Yanhao is not Wu Chengsi, and Li Cunxi may not be able to protect Wu Yanhao like Wu Zetian protected Wu Chengsi.

Wu Yizong stroked his long beard, feeling filled with emotion.

"Thank you for your teachings, uncle." Wu Yanhao quickly stood up and bowed deeply.

"I am satisfied that you still recognize me as your uncle." Wu Yizong sighed, "Ever since the brothers in the clan have been attacking each other, there are very few people who still recognize me as their uncle."

"I don't know what he is like, but I will always remember what my uncle has done for me."

"Your words are enough. If I fall from power in the court in the future, I may have to rely on you."

Wu Yizong stood up slowly, with an unfathomable cloud between his brows.

He was a wise man, as could be seen from the time when Wu Zetian seized power. He was the first person to follow Wu Zetian unswervingly.

But the more knowledgeable a person is, the more confused he becomes sometimes.

During the Youzhou case in the past, he couldn't understand why Wu Chengsi gave the golden token to Li Cunxi.

He understood it after Li Cunxi was promoted step by step.

Wu Chengsi, who always said that he "loved to watch striptease from Western dancers", found the double insurance of retreating at the height of his career and forging ahead bravely from the very beginning.

And this double insurance is Li Cunxi, who has multiple identities.

Wu Yizong was almost at the door when he suddenly stopped. He turned around and looked at Li Cunxi who had already stood up, his lips moving.

For a long time, he said nothing, but just sighed.

I only regret that he was blind and did not help me in time of need. Now that I am trying to climb up again, I have lost his integrity.

"Your cousin really cares about you." Li Cunxi said with a smile.

"After all, you watched me grow up." Wu Yanhao said, "I remember the second time I went on a long journey, I was with my third sister-in-law. He was the county magistrate in Liangzhou and wanted to take me to Liangzhou."

"I remember this. I remember you said that you did go to Liangzhou at that time."

"That's right. Actually, I don't want to go there. It's said to be very dangerous there, and there are earthquakes every now and then."

"Then why did you go?"

"People always have to grow up, so I went. But it is said that the day after I left, my cousin came to my house and had a fight with my father."

Wu Yanhao rubbed his temple.

He could not deny that Wu Yizong was really good to him, which might be related to the fact that he always went to Wu Yizong's house when he was a child.

When he received the letter from home in Liangzhou, he indeed did not expect that his cousin would fight with his father for his safety.

The Minister of Rites and the King of Wei were quarreling in the main hall. Is this something a normal person would do?

"No wonder I sent you here."

Li Cunxi laughed immediately.

"With Chen Ming as your guarantee and the Prince of Hanoi teaching you, I won't worry about these useless things."

"I'll take Dayou out later to buy you some cakes. You should study hard with the Prince of Hanoi."

Wu Yanhao nodded and hurried towards Wu Yizong who was waiting in front.

"Prince of Henei, we will come to bother you again later." Li Cunxi bowed.

"Duke Qin, we'll see you later." Wu Yizong also bowed.

The two sides then parted ways. Li Cunxi took Lu Dayou out of the governor's mansion and walked on the streets of Luoyang. They soon found a street full of snacks.

The snack street at this time had already grown to a considerable size. Li Cunxi and Wu Yanhao walked forward under the protection of Ma Rong. The crowded people coming and going all had bright smiles on their faces.

The people living under the emperor's feet live much better than those in other places. Those who can come to the snack street in broad daylight are wealthier than ordinary people... Turning around, Li Cunxi saw two dogs.

A man and a woman snuggled together, not avoiding others in public.

"Damn it."

Li Cunxi closed his eyes, turned around, and his jealousy was evident in his words.

Lu Dayou also saw those affectionate couple. He was in his thirties and still single, so he sighed heavily.

"I'm already in my thirties and I don't have a wife."

Lu Dayou sighed and was very dissatisfied.

He is a minister of imperial counselor, but he doesn't even have a wife. How could it be unacceptable to let it get out?

"Tell your uncle later and ask him to keep an eye out for unmarried girls and help you find a good one."

Li Cunxi pushed the important task of choosing a wife to his good uncle Di Renjie without hesitation.

Although his special character "calm as water" has been playing a role all the time, when he thinks about his two lives, which add up to more than thirty years, he still doesn't have a wife.

Really, the more I think about it, the more unwilling I feel.

Fortunately, it will be available next year...

Li Cunxi's eyes unconsciously turned to Lu Dayou.

Logically speaking, since Lu Dayou had the support of him and Di Renjie and was also a fifth-rank imperial counselor, there must have been a lot of officials who wanted to give him a wife, but no one had taken the initiative to mention it so far.

It's also quite strange.

The two men walked out of the bustling street, both thinking of their future wives. Not far away, they looked up and saw that the vermilion lacquered gate between the two stone lions in front of them had been opened.

The huge plaque is engraved with three big characters "Neiweifu".

"Strange, how come we ended up at the Inner Guard Palace while walking?" Lu Dayou scratched his head.

"Forget it. Since we are here anyway, let's go and admire the graceful manner of the leader of the Inner Guard Bureau." Li Cunxi said.

The two hit it off immediately and walked into the Inner Guard Palace. Zhao Hai, who was walking towards them in a hurry, bowed to Li Cunxi.

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness Duke Qin and the Grand Counselor!"

"I didn't know you two were coming here today, so I didn't go out to greet you. I hope you two adults can forgive me."

Li Cunxi shook his head.

"This official and Lord Lu came here with great enthusiasm. We want to see the interrogation methods of your Inner Guard Bureau. I wonder which leader will be interrogating the prisoner today?"

Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, then leaned forward and replied, "Most of the prisoners to be interrogated today are those who were arrested before and are disobedient, so the Grand Chief will have to do it himself. It will start in about a quarter of an hour."

Li Cunxi's eyes lit up.

"General Zhao, what are we waiting for? Take us over to watch."
