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

Chapter 408: Smart Zhao Wenhui

Zhao Wenhui's expression gradually became serious. Thinking of how respectful Qiu Jing was to him, he really couldn't imagine what tricks the other party would play.

But this is normal, as most people in officialdom cannot trust each other.

As for Li Cunxi...

Zhao Wenhui could only believe half of it.

"General Zhao, I have high hopes for you. Although you are cruel and overbearing towards foreigners, you are loyal to our dynasty."

"The reason I reminded you so many times is also for your own good."

"The problem with Governor Qiu is probably more serious than you think. If I hadn't discovered something, I would never have traveled day and night to the north to block you here."

Li Cunxi said this and looked at Zhao Wenhui seriously.

If it weren't for future plans, it might be a good thing for Zhao Wenhui to die here.

"Prefect Li, what exactly is the problem with Qiu Jing?" Zhao Wenhui asked in a low voice.

"I'm not sure, but he is planning to harm you secretly." Li Cunxi said.

"You're not sure?" Zhao Wenhui asked in surprise, "If you're not sure, how can you be sure that Qiu Jing has a problem?"

"Of course I found some clues, hehe."

Li Cunxi didn't want to talk nonsense anymore. If he continued to talk nonsense, he wouldn't know how to explain it.

He simply put his hands behind his back and walked forward with an air of swagger.

A group of people, led by Zhao Wenhui, soon arrived at the place where the supplies sent by Qiu Jing to reward the army were placed.

As soon as Li Cunxi entered, he immediately saw a compass car.

"Who gave this compass car as a gift?" Li Cunxi pointed at the compass car and asked Zhao Wenhui.

"Since it is placed in this position, it must have been given by Qiu Jing." Zhao Wenhui answered as a matter of course.

Li Cunxi frowned and walked quickly towards the compass car.

With excellent eyesight, he squatted down and felt around, and immediately touched something that shouldn't be on the compass car.

"There is something under this compass car."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wenhui ran over with big strides, exerted brute force, and pushed the compass chariot down.

Under the illumination of the torch, a palm-sized magnet was suddenly discovered at the bottom of the compass car.

"Good good."

When Zhao Wenhui saw the magnet, his mind raced for a moment and he immediately understood part of the problem.

He held a torch and glanced at the wheel on the compass car, then looked at the direction the little man was pointing, and immediately gritted his teeth.

"I think there is no need for me to say more now, General Zhao."

Li Cunxi glanced at the north where the villain was pointing and tried hard not to laugh.

That Qiu Jing is so mean, using a magnet to disrupt the direction of the army.

When Zhao Wenhui's army entered the Turkic territory and needed to use the compass chariot, they would definitely enter the Khitan territory according to the guidance of the compass chariot and would definitely encounter Sun Wanrong's main force. At that time, it would be difficult for them to survive.

Zhao Wenhui was not a fool. It only took him a moment to realize that the bitch Qiu Jing wanted to kill him.

"Huang Zhen!!!"

Zhao Wenhui roared, his voice booming like thunder.

The deputy general Huang Zhen, who had been following behind, hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists towards Zhao Wenhui.

"What are your orders, General?"

Zhao Wenhui gnashed his teeth and said, "Order the army to enter Chongzhou and capture Qiu Jing. I will chop him into pieces!"

Li Cunxi almost climaxed when he heard this and glanced at Zhao Wenhui unconsciously.

"General Zhao, are you crazy? You're attacking your own city. Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will take your head?"

Zhao Wenhui was silent for a second and turned to look at Li Cunxi.

"Prefect Li, I was just joking. Since you specifically pointed this out, you must have thought of a solution for me."

"I promise here that as long as Li Fuyin helps me, I am willing to help Li Fuyin a great favor in the future."

Li Cunxi didn't expect that the other party was pretending. The corners of his mouth moved slightly, but he was speechless.

After a moment, Li Cunxi looked at Zhao Wenhui with suspicion and asked:

"Is what General Zhao said true?"

"No matter what I ask General Zhao to do, is General Zhao willing to do it?"

Zhao Wenhui bared his teeth, anger flashing in his eyes.

"I think Lian Qiu Jing is plotting against me. I should have no room to retreat."

"All I can do now is to win a battle. Otherwise, not only will I and my 20,000 soldiers die, but Xiaojie will probably not escape this disaster either."

"No matter what, I have no way out. I must fight this battle and win it, and then settle accounts with Qiu Jing."

Given Zhao Wenhui's current situation, there is indeed no way out.

If he were defeated, Wu Zetian, who was eager for a resounding victory, would not forgive him.

Even if he reported that Qiu Jing was a traitor, the best outcome would be that he would be dismissed from office.

"I believe that the thieves discovered by Li Fuyin should not only be Qiu Jing, right?"

"I am taking a detour through the Turks this time. Are there any thieves over there who want to kill me?"

Zhao Wenhui asked directly, without paying any attention to the deputy general Huang Zhen around him.

"Yes...and a lot of them." said Li Cunxi.

"I can only say that Chongzhou is the least difficult place you will encounter on this trip. Going to Turkic to borrow a passage will be even more dangerous. But don't worry, because I will be heading to Turkic territory soon."

"So, how many people hope that the court will end up in a great defeat in this war?" Zhao Wenhui's eyes were filled with pain.

"I have a message for General Zhao. His hero is my enemy." Li Cunxi sighed, "Would you wish your enemy to win?"

"So your opponents on this trip to the Turks are the warlike nobles of the Five Tribes and the internal instability of the Stone Kingdom?"

"Well, how do you know this?"

"I have been operating in Yingzhou for many years. I know everything I should and shouldn't know."

Zhao Wenhui took two steps back and looked towards the direction of Chongzhou City.

It is destined that I will not be able to catch Qiu Jing and settle the score with him personally tonight. This should be considered one of the regrets of this expedition.

"Li Fuyin, can you tell me how you plan to deal with Qiu Jing?"

"I will let him have his sweet dream and let him see with his own eyes your victorious return."

"That means don't touch him, right?"

"Of course, I will send someone to control him before I leave. He will never do anything harmful to you in this position."

"How can you guarantee that?"

"Because my Shang Fang Zhan Ma Jian is coming soon."

Li Cunxi let out a breath and spoke in a calm tone.

When he went north, he asked the inner guards to send a letter back to Luoyang and give it to Wu Zetian.

The content was to request the Shangfang horse-killing sword and have it sent to Chongzhou by the imperial guard.

Calculating the time, even if the imperial guards are very slow, they will soon reach Chongzhou.

Li Cunxi just didn't believe that Wu Yanhao and the officials of the imperial guard couldn't keep an eye on a little Qiu Jing.

"Did Prefect Li know about this before?" Zhao Wenhui narrowed his eyes.

"You probably won't believe it, because I came to Chongzhou simply because I felt something was wrong. My real purpose was to supervise the battle," said Li Cunxi.

"I really don't believe it...Li Fuyin, you have a big secret."

"I have so many secrets, do you want to discover them?"

"The general will not dare."
