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

Chapter 520: Luozhou Governor Chen Ming

In less than a cup of tea, Li Cunxi walked out of the side hall.

He couldn't help but feel... strange about the absurdity of this emperor.

It is really disgraceful to do such a thing in broad daylight, and I just happened to encounter it.

Fortunately, the purpose of this trip has been achieved. Li Cunxi waved to Wu Yanhao, indicating that everyone should run away with him.

In the side hall, Zhang Changzong stepped forward, glanced at Wu Zetian cautiously, and asked:

"Your Majesty, we..."

Wu Zetian sighed for a while and said:

"I don't know how many more ministers will come to submit documents. I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue here today."

Zhang Changzong was helpless, but he couldn't say much.

Doing that kind of thing in the side hall was indecent in the first place, and he was caught by Li Cunxi the first time he did it.

It seems that in the future...

We can only play two-player games in the side hall after dark.

"Forget it, forget it, don't think about it."

Wu Zetian became serious, looked at the large amount of government affairs that needed to be handled on the desk in front of her, and stood up immediately.

"Let's go back to Ganlu Palace. Once we get there, no one should bother us."

Zhang Changzong quickly stood up and, together with another palace servant, supported Wu Zetian and walked towards Ganlu Palace.

……

Just a cup of tea later, three carriages stopped one after another outside the gate of the Luozhou Governor's Mansion.

After the driver parked the carriage, he helped the official in the carriage get out.

Three dog officials in official robes were standing outside the door in a swaggering manner. Two of them were young and the other had an untidy beard.

Some officials who knew the value of the business came out and bowed to Li Cunxi, who was in the lead.

"Greetings, Lord Fu Mu." The official smiled ingratiatingly.

"Where is Governor Chen?" Li Cunxi didn't look at him, but asked calmly.

"Sir Li, Governor Chen is reviewing government affairs. I will go and call Governor Chen to come and see you, Sir."

Li Cunxi finally took a look at the short official and said, "Then please go and invite him. I'll be waiting for him in the main hall."

"Yes."

Chen Ming, who had been reading government affairs and was devoted to maintaining a stable and peaceful environment in the capital region, was soon interrupted by Sima Gaotu.

He raised his head, glanced at Gao Tu with dissatisfaction, and asked, "When did you panic?"

"Duke Qin, the governor of Henan, the Grand Master of the Imperial Academy, and Prime Minister Li are waiting for you in the main hall."

Luozhou Sima Gaotu was extremely flustered at the moment. He was promoted together with Chen Ming, so he naturally knew the principle of paying respects to his superiors after being promoted.

However, they have been promoted for more than a month and have yet to meet their immediate superior, Li Cunxi.

This is a taboo in official circles.

It would be fine if Li Cunxi hadn't come to find them on his own initiative. They would still have had a chance to meet him again. But now that Li Cunxi has come on his own initiative, they will definitely be in trouble later.

"Damn it, I was so busy these past two days that I almost thought I was the highest administrative chief in the Gyeonggi region."

Chen Ming knocked his head, and with some gray hair on his temples, he slowly stood up.

Not daring to delay any longer, Chen Ming picked up his official robe and ran outside.

Soon, Chen Ming and Gao Tu arrived outside the main hall.

Chen Ming, who was in front, stopped and poked his head to peek inside.

Li Cunxi was seen sitting sideways on the couch in the main hall, chatting with Wu Yizong opposite him.

Wu Yanhao, who was also sitting on the couch, had a dazed expression on his face, as if he had not yet woken up, and was dozing off with his face propped up.

On the other side, Lu Dayou was holding a book in his hand. He didn't look at anyone, but just kept reading the book in his hand which was regarded as a rare treasure.

"These gentlemen seem kind and amiable, so they shouldn't mind my slight disrespect."

Chen Ming thought about it secretly and felt relieved. He quickly took Sima Gaotu into the main hall and bowed to Li Cunxi from a distance.

"Your humble servant Chen Ming, the governor of Luozhou, greets Lord Li."

Hearing this, Li Cunxi turned around and looked at Chen Ming.

It was the first time he had seen this little old man in his fifties, but it was not the first time he had heard of his name.

"I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be Lord Chen and Sima Gao." Li Cunxi said indifferently, "Please take a seat."

"Thank you, sir."

Chen Ming and Gao Tu hurriedly bowed and saluted, then sat down carefully.

"Your Excellency is busy with state affairs and rarely comes to the Luozhou Governor's Mansion."

"Well, I know you have returned, but I have been busy with the affairs of the mansion recently, so I have not been able to pay my respects to you. I hope you will forgive me."

Chen Ming said the story he had prepared long ago, hoping that Li Cunxi was not here to cause trouble for him.

Li Cunxi himself was not here to cause trouble. He took a sip of tea and nodded slightly in response to Chen Ming.

Seeing this, Chen Ming's heart calmed down completely, and he hurriedly said:

"Master Li, are you here today to take over the affairs of the Governor's Mansion?"

"If Your Excellency has this intention, I will immediately bring the government affairs to you one by one..."

Li Cunxi waved his hand and interrupted Chen Ming.

"Master Chen may have misunderstood. My position as the governor of Henan is just a nominal one. How dare I seize Master Chen's power?"

Chen Ming suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he stood up and bowed, saying:

"My Lord, that is not what I meant."

Li Cunxi looked at Chen Ming deeply and said calmly:

"I came here just to send Wu Shaoyin here to gain some experience in the Governor's Mansion."

"I have reported this matter to His Majesty, and His Majesty has agreed. I have sent it to the Governor's Mansion and handed it over to the Prince of Henei to give him a good lesson."

At this moment, Wu Yizong, who always had a smile on his face, nodded and smiled in agreement.

Sure enough, relatives who have a good time still have to think about their own family.

As the only full-time staff member under the governor of Henan Prefecture, Wu Yanhao was the one that Wu Yizong thought of by both Wu Chengsi and Li Cunxi when they needed experience.

Now that the court situation is tending to be stable, Wu Yizong sees no bright future, so he has no choice but to choose another leader.

"In that case, please ask the Prince of Hanoi to teach Wu Shaoyin. I will never interfere in this matter, nor will I do anything beyond the scope of the law."

Although Chen Ming looked flustered, his mind was clear as a mirror.

He still has a rough idea of ​​the current situation.

He is basically in a safe area, and these big shots won't bother him.

"Very good. I admire you very much, Governor Chen."

Li Cunxi took a sip of tea and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Thank you very much for your appreciation, sir. I will do my best today and never stop until my death."

Chen Ming quickly responded, then said goodbye and left the main hall.

Sima Gaotu also bowed to Li Cunxi, and then left with Chen Ming.

In the main hall, Wu Yanhao, who had fallen into a deep sleep at some point, suddenly yawned, opened his sleepy eyes, and rubbed his eyes with his hands.

"Cunxi, whoever came just now woke me up."
