Chapter 40: The soldiers are divided into two groups
After the two people discussed the plan, they immediately divided into two groups and began to advance.
Zheng Xiu led some people to the Ministry of Industry first to sort out the people who were related to this matter.
After all, he just killed a person with a rolling head two days ago. Those people would definitely not be able to hand over the matter so quickly.
There must be some finishing touches that have not been taken care of. The next thing is to look through the thick pile of documents to see who is constantly changing the measuring tools.
Those people have no alibi, and those people are the most diligent in showing up.
Li Yuan, on the other hand, directly led people to surround the chief minister's residence.
"Dad, our family is so scared. He is the chief assistant. If you guess wrong, we will be totally ruined."
The person speaking was Li Yuan's godson, the one who had been following him.
Although he had already listened to what he heard when his godfather communicated with Zheng Xiu, word for word.
But now he is still too scared to stop.
After all, he was the chief minister of the dynasty. Let’s not talk about whether the chief minister was involved in this matter. Even if it was really the chief minister who did this, could the empress still kill him?
You must know that although the current chief assistant no longer has the prestige of the past, he has indeed done a lot of practical things before.
In addition, now that his disciples are all over the world, he has control over how many people he has.
It doesn't matter if you kill some ministers, after all, if you want your ministers to die, they have to die.
But if the chief minister is killed, first a group of officials will petition the people to keep him, and then a bunch of people will spit at the empress and say she is fatuous.
If you really go to the execution ground, a group of people may come to rob the execution ground, saying that they are doing justice.
Maybe a group of people would beat him and his godfather to death in the name of Qing Junzi.
Just thinking about it made him feel that his little hands were cold and his limbs were weak.
"Godfather, why don't we wait a little longer? When Mr. Zheng gets the evidence, it won't be too late for us to take action."
Li Yuan on the side naturally didn't know that in just a few seconds, countless thoughts had passed through his beloved godson.
But he still patiently talked to his godson.
"Surrounding the chief minister's residence this time is equivalent to slapping the chief minister Qi Qinghai in the face. No matter what we do now, the gap has been forged."
"Also, what I just told Zheng Xiu was inferred from superficial evidence, but haven't you seen anything deeper?"
"Think carefully about the secret letters I let you read before."
In the year 163 of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Dongchang spies stationed at the night market disappeared inexplicably, and there was not even a body.
In the year 167 of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Dongchang spy stationed at the night market disappeared inexplicably again. Half a month later, his body was found by the river. There was a copper coin in the hand of the body.
Daxia...,..., ten years later, a suspected corpse was found in a farmland, with a copper coin clutched in the corpse's hand.
Daxia...,...,..., there was a piece of green cloth clutched in the corpse's hand.
"Do you understand? There are not many people who can deal with our Dongchang spies without leaving any trace, but there are not that many experts who can do such a thing."
"But for the chief assistant who controls the lifeblood of the night market, this is just a matter of words."
"Think about the things in the hands of those corpses. They were secretly executed after they discovered something was wrong."
"We are here this time not only for Mr. Zheng's business, but also for ourselves. We are here to seek revenge for our own family members. Do you understand?"
When Li Yuan said this, he felt somewhat helpless. This godson was obedient enough, but not smart enough.
Sometimes there are many things that cannot be said, and it would be nice if everyone knew it well, but if you don't tell him, he won't understand. If he meets a smart person in the future, his son will definitely be sold by others and even his butt will be left.
I also blame myself. At that time, I only looked at this kid as honest and cute, and forgot to test whether he had any brains.
After listening to Li Yuan's story, the godson still felt that his legs were trembling a little, and even his tongue couldn't be straightened.
"Fuck...Fuck your godfather, just...like this, we won't, no, no...no,..."
"Look at you, you are so excited that you can't even speak. It's okay. If this first assistant is really ignorant later, we don't have to be polite to him. I will take care of everything. You can just take revenge without worry."
"No, no, no, no, no... godfather, I mean, can I first..."
Before he went to the toilet, he heard the concierge inside shouting: "You stinky eunuchs, dead people, rotten people, what are you doing in front of the chief minister's door? Do you still want to rebel?"
After just this shout, the entire palace of the Chief Minister suddenly became brightly lit, and guards holding bows and arrows appeared on the courtyard wall.
The barking of vicious dogs also came from inside, and it seemed that manpower had been gathered.
Even the son of the current chief minister stood at the front with determination.
Just when the atmosphere became a little anxious, a cough came from behind Li Yuan.
"Ahem, cough, cough, I just came back from the night market, and I found that someone surrounded my home. Eunuch Li, is there some misunderstanding?"
The person who came was none other than Qi Qinghai, whom Li Yuan was planning to kill.
At this time, Li Yuan had scolded the little eunuch who provided the information countless times.
They could get such important information wrong. Before the real owner came back, they surrounded the other party's home.
This Qi Qinghai is also brave enough. Instead of running away now, he has actively stood up. He is worthy of his twenty years of experience as the first assistant.
"Master Chief Assistant, since you are here too, please don't tell me any secrets and just drive me away. If nothing happens, we will naturally let you go home."
Li Yuan squinted his eyes and used his twelve points of experience to stare at the chief assistant in front of him. As long as the opponent dared to violently hurt others, he would risk his life to take him down.
"At any other time, Qi would naturally be captured without hesitation, but not today. There are other distinguished guests here today. I hope Eunuch Li will make it convenient for him. Qi will naturally plead guilty the next day."
Qi Qinghai had an indifferent look on his face, as if he didn't take these people seriously, and he bluntly rejected Li Yuan's invitation.
"Dignified guest? Where did the distinguished guest come from? Why didn't our Dongchang know about it?"
"Haha, Eunuch Li takes Dongchang too seriously. Since Dongchang can't even find out this bit of information, I advise you to go back and check your department immediately. Otherwise, I'm afraid there are some things you can't bear.
