Chapter 689 What to do without evidence
Wu Sansi was shocked when he thought that Li Cunxi and Wu Chengsi had only known each other for a few days, yet Wu Chengsi had actually given away the carriage that he had spent a huge amount of money on so openly.
Haven’t you seen that during the Youzhou case, when the emperor led all the court clerks to send Di Renjie to Bingzhou to pay homage, Wu Chengsi, the top person of the dynasty who had lived in seclusion in the Prince of Wei’s Mansion for many years, came in a carriage.
Wu Sansi didn't understand what Wu Chengsi was going to do, and then he heard that Wu Chengsi wanted to give the car to Li Cunxi.
Is this reasonable?
Li Cunxi didn't dare to agree, but Wu Chengsi still said several heartfelt words to him.
He even said something that many ministers still find prescient.
"How can you, His Majesty, not have a carriage?"
Then Li Cunxi became the prince in just a few years. The friendship between the teacher and the student also moved many of Li's old ministers in the court.
Wu Sansi was heartbroken, wondering why he had become an enemy of Li Cunxi in those two years. If he had curryed favor with Li Cunxi before Wu Chengsi, he might have become Li Cunxi's mentor.
"What's wrong, Your Highness Prince Liang?"
Li Cunxi keenly noticed the change in Wu Sansi's expression.
"Why do you look like you've eaten shit?"
Wu Sansi's expression suddenly changed, and he said unhappily:
"Li Cunxi, you really can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth. If I hadn't been unable to deal with you, I would have let you know how powerful I am today."
Wu Sansi's threat was not very intimidating. The two were only about one meter apart. At this distance, Li Cunxi could strangle him to death with just one hand.
"Hehe, Big Leaf, all you can do is bark like a dog."
"You'd better pray that the Luzhou case has nothing to do with you, otherwise just wait."
The two threatened each other for a while. Wu Sansi couldn't beat Li Cunxi verbally, so he simply closed his eyes and got angry secretly.
The team quickly left Luozhou and entered Huaizhou.
Lao Hei remembered Li Cunxi's instructions before leaving, so he lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to the inside:
"Your Highness, Prince Qin, we have entered Huaizhou."
Li Cunxi heard Lao Hei's reminder outside, slowly opened his eyes and said:
"Come here, please ask General Hu to come over."
The Qianniu Guard cavalry outside heard the words, responded, and then rode forward, passing through a group of knights, and found Hu Jinghui.
"Cunxi, what's the matter?"
Hu Jinghui went to the window and asked inside.
"Brother Jinghui, take two military commanders and three hundred cavalrymen and head to the Luzhou military camp immediately. First, take control of the Luzhou garrison, and then wait for my news."
"Something went wrong between Dayou and my second brother in Luzhou. The Luzhou garrison is definitely not unconnected."
Hu Jinghui and Lu Dayou are old friends. When he thought about Lu Dayou and Di Guangyuan getting into trouble, he was furious.
He immediately bowed and said, "I accept your command!"
Hu Jinghui turned around and left, selecting three hundred cavalrymen and Yang Fang and Ren Kuo, and rushed to Luzhou as quickly as possible.
The suffocating atmosphere in the carriage returned. Li Cunxi and Wu Sansi pretended to be asleep, not wanting to see each other.
After half an hour, Wu Sansi could no longer bear this feeling, so he opened his eyes and asked:
"Li Cunxi, how are you going to investigate the Luzhou case?"
"Let me tell you, this case is definitely not simple. There must be something seriously wrong."
"And we don't have evidence, so there are many things we can't even do."
Li Cunxi opened his eyes and looked at Wu Sansi expressionlessly.
"Don't disturb my sleep, or I might beat you to death right here with one punch."
Wu Sansi's expression froze, but he didn't expect Li Cunxi to dare to speak to him like that.
Even though he is far inferior to before, he is still a prince after all.
How can it be said that Li Cunxi treated him like this?
"you……"
Wu Sansi pointed at Li Cunxi with one finger, wishing he could kill him immediately.
"Don't point at me, Wu." Li Cunxi said calmly, "Otherwise I might really beat you to death."
Wu Sansi was furious, but he could only swallow his anger.
He was not sure about Li Cunxi's strength, but there were rumors that Li Cunxi had studied with Hu Jinghui for a period of time.
Wu Sansi knew very well what kind of strength Hu Jinghui had.
During the military parade in Nanyuan, Wu Sansi was following Wu Zetian.
"As for how to investigate the case, you don't have to worry. I already have a plan in mind."
"Just stay with me and don't smile at anyone else."
Li Cunxi said a few words and then stopped talking. He closed his eyes and began to take a nap.
Wu Sansi turned his back and started to get angry.
The carriage headed north, passed Huaizhou, passed Zezhou, and entered Luzhou before the hour of You.
"Your Highness the Prince of Qin, Your Highness the Prince of Liang, we have entered Luzhou." Lao Hei shouted outside.
Upon hearing this, Li Cunxi lifted the curtain again and looked outside the window at the Qianniu Guard soldier who was closest to him.
The Qianniu Guard soldier was named Zhou Yi, and was assigned to him by Hu Jinghui. He was a good man, very perceptive, and reliable in his work.
"Zhou Yi, pass on my order and head straight to Shangdang County."
"Also, order two knights to rush to the Luzhou military camp outside Shangdang County as quickly as possible and inform General Hu to leave one hundred thousand Niuwei cavalrymen to guard the camp, and take the rest with him to Shangdang County."
Zhou Yi didn't even ask Li Cunxi's intentions, and turned around to pass on the message.
Soon, Zhou Yi returned to the outside of the carriage and bowed towards the inside.
"Your Highness, Prince Qin, everything has been arranged."
Li Cunxi was very satisfied and said:
"I see you have the qualities of a captain."
Zhou Yi was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Qin!"
The carriage continued to move forward, and Wu Sansi, who seemed like a transparent man, pursed his lips.
"Your reputation in the Qianniu Guard is almost higher than His Majesty's, right?"
"You just said something casually, and he acted like he was going to get a promotion. How come he didn't know you were so capable before?"
His tone was sour, and he was extremely dissatisfied with the energy Li Cunxi was now showing.
Li Cunxi picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and looked at Wu Sansi with squinted eyes.
"It's fine if you say this in front of me, but if you say it in front of His Majesty, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Wu Sansi lost his temper and shut up.
"And one more thing."
Li Cunxi added, "I believe you have nothing to do with this case, so I hope you won't cause me any trouble while I'm handling it."
"Now, I'm going to tell you what my plan is. Listen carefully."
"This is also a good opportunity for you to clear your suspicion. Don't let His Majesty down."
……
Luzhou.
Governor's Mansion.
Chief Clerk Gao Wang and Sima Li Cheng were walking in circles in the hall, with several officials standing by with unfriendly expressions.
"Humph, he's just a mere Qin Wang Li Cunxi."
"Since we can make Di Guangyuan and Lu Dayou disappear without anyone noticing, we can also make Li Cunxi disappear."
"Even a powerful dragon can suppress a local snake. How dare a lousy judge suppress us?"
One of the officials looked disdainful.
"If Li Cunxi knows what's good for him and cooperates with us, we can still keep him."
"If he dares to say no..."
