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

Chapter 743: The owner of the snake spirit is Li Cunxi?

"I want to meet the new Snake Spirit leader. I want to ask him if he still remembers me, his old master!"

Yuan Tiangang knocked on the table and said angrily.

"Yo ho?"

"Old man, you've been rescued, but you still don't know who the leader of the Snake Spirit is now."

"Let me tell you the truth. After Xiao Qingfang died, it was me, Jin Mulan, who supported the Snake Spirit."

"If it weren't for me, Jin Mulan, the hall masters below would have beaten your brains into a dog's brain long ago. You still want to come out of the dungeon alive? It's really wishful thinking!"

"If it weren't for Jin Mulan, this snake spirit would have been finished long ago!"

Li Qingxia stood up directly, blowing her nose and glaring.

She was absolutely right.

Since the establishment of the Snake Spirit, there have been only three people who can command the Snake Spirit.

One of the first two was imprisoned and the other died. Huan Bin was in Luozhou and could not control the Snake Spirit in time. If she had not been entrusted with the task and used Li Cunxi's relationship and her own connections to control the Snake Spirit, the Snake Spirit would have been leaderless and would have surely died.

"Humph, you don't need to tell me about your achievements."

"All I know is that you have imprisoned me, your old master, here."

"Besides, someone saved my life, but you sent people to rob and kill them and kidnap me."

"If I remember correctly, the person who saved me was also the leader of the Snake Spirit. You spoke high-sounding words, but killed so many members of our Snake Spirit. It's obvious that you are not a good person."

Yuan Tiangang glared at Li Qingxia with an extremely cold tone.

"Let me ask you, where are my trusted confidants Wen Zhong and Xiao Mei?"

"You are such a vicious woman, you won't kill them all, will you?"

Li Qingxia drank the last bit of wine in one gulp and stood up.

"I don't think I need to answer your question. As for whether they are dead or not, you will find out soon."

"As for now?"

She, who was very good-looking, clapped her hands.

"Sir, come in."

The door of the stone chamber was opened, and an old man dressed as a Taoist priest walked in leisurely.

The man had white hair and a youthful face. He was wearing a purple Taoist robe that fluttered in the wind. His long white beard hung down to his chest. His reserved eyes made it impossible to tell what he was feeling at the moment.

He stood five meters away and bowed to Jin Mulan.

"Blessings and Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!"

He loudly proclaimed:

"Dear donors, I bow to you!"

Li Qingxia raised her head, pointed at Yuan Tiangang, and said loudly:

"Master, I'll leave this old man to you. Before your man arrives, see if you can make this old man behave himself."

Yuan Tiangang was so angry that he gritted his teeth, pointed at Li Qingxia, and his lips trembled for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.

On the other hand, Xuguzi is upright and has an immortal air. His every move and gesture shows the demeanor of someone from a famous and upright family. He truly deserves the title of "Famous Mountain Immortal Master".

Li Qingxia looked back at Yuan Tiangang, then turned around and left the stone chamber, leaving the space to Yuan Tiangang and Xuguzi.

Xuguzi uttered the Taoist name again, and then stood outside the cell.

Yuan Tiangang didn't want to be led by the nose, so he asked directly:

"I wonder what your surname is, where you live, and where you seek immortality in the famous mountains and rivers?"

Xuguzi smiled calmly and said lightly:

"I am Xuguzi, the poor Taoist from Shouyang Mountain."

"Perhaps my reputation is not well known, but I have a student, perhaps you have heard of him."

When Yuan Tiangang heard the name of the old Taoist priest, he was stunned for a moment.

He vaguely felt that he seemed to have heard the name "Xuguzi", but he could not remember it no matter how hard he tried.

He couldn't remember, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He looked at Xuguzi with an unfriendly expression.

"But I don't know who the eldest disciple is."

"You might as well tell me, so I can know which old friend it is."

Xuguzi shook his head slowly, his tone becoming calmer.

"Perhaps, he is not a friend, or perhaps, he is an enemy."

"My useless disciple once claimed to be the Grand Master of the Great Zhou Dynasty. His name was Wang Zhiyuan."

As soon as he finished speaking, the broken bowl in Yuan Tiangang's hand fell onto the pile of dry grass.

This bowl was used for drinking water, and it was brought together with another broken bowl for steamed buns. Yuan Tiangang originally wanted to drink some water to moisten his throat, but now all the water was spilled.

There is no other reason.

Wang Zhiyuan, the national teacher of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this name is so famous that even he would be shocked when he heard it.

The status of this imperial teacher in the Great Zhou Dynasty was no less than that of several prime ministers. Before the Bleeding Eagle case ended, Wang Zhiyuan was admired by many ministers, princes and members of the Wu family.

It was not until the Bleeding Eagle Case that Wang Zhiyuan was killed by the internal security guards who were not afraid of any enemy.

"I really didn't expect that it would be Wang Zhiyuan's master in person!"

"A person like you would actually follow others."

"But I wonder what kind of relationship you have with Jin Mulan?"

Xuguzi waved his whisk lightly and faced Yuan Tiangang politely with a half smile.

"This donor and my master are relatives."

"Please also tell me the identity of the person behind you. I am very curious about what kind of person he is that can make a famous Taoist priest like you serve him so loyally and do his bidding."

Yuan Tiangang's curiosity has been completely aroused.

He was now extremely curious about what kind of person could make someone like Xuguzi work for him.

I think that if the other party's status is not high enough, someone like Xuguzi would never risk his life for him.

"My poor master, perhaps you have also heard of it before."

"He is none other than His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, who has gained immense fame in recent years. He was once the eighth son of Duke Huang, known as Li Cunxi."

This was not the first time Yuan Tiangang had heard of Li Cunxi's name.

With his intelligence, he had already guessed everything and figured out where the problem lay.

That’s right, there is only one truth!

The key to the problem lies in Li Cunxi!

This famous His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin!

It was he who followed Di Renjie to solve the Youzhou case, and it was he who investigated the Chongzhou case thoroughly. It was also he who sent Xuguzi here to see him.

A chill ran through his heart. Yuan Tiangang looked at Xuguzi outside the cell in disbelief and said in surprise:

"The true master of the Snake Spirit is actually Li Cunxi?"

Xuguzi smiled calmly and did not answer the question.

He didn't need to answer at all, he knew that a smart man like Yuan Tiangang would definitely be able to figure it out.

As he expected, Yuan Tiangang really figured it out.

"My rescue was also arranged by His Royal Highness Prince Qin, right?"

"Those Snake Spirit members killed by Wang Jinghui, as well as the assassins who ambushed our Snake Spirit members, were all arranged by His Royal Highness Prince Qin."

"If His Royal Highness Prince Qin wants to completely control the Snake Spirit, he must kill all those who secretly support Xiao Qingfang and me, leaving no hidden dangers."

"At this moment, I'm afraid all my people have already listened to him."
