Chapter 591: The clue is gone
People like the eldest grandson Wuji will not go without a target.
Such a shrewd person, one who was able to pull up such a huge organization in just a few years from scratch.
Even the hiding place has been prepared so much, and so many poisonous snakes have been hidden in the tunnel in advance.
Isn't that what those preparations are coming in handy now?
No matter what the final outcome is, now the pursuers behind are indeed stopped there, and no one can catch up with him with the pace of the eldest grandson Wuji.
How could such a person not think about what to do in the worst case scenario?
Like now?
Now that the eldest grandson Wuji is dead, who dares to guarantee that when the news spreads, those who are still hiding in the dark will continue?
Does the eldest grandson Wuji have a second set of backup plans?
Anyway, Ma Liu just felt that if he put himself in the position of the eldest grandson Wuji, he would definitely have two completely different plans.
The first thing to be implemented is, of course, a plan that is controlled by oneself while he is alive.
And another backup plan is to arrange for his henchmen to manipulate these forces to carry out crazy revenge after his accidental death?
What's more, the eldest grandson Wuji has already said this answer.
He didn't just scare the court and make them nervous, he must have been prepared, there must be some purpose.
Obviously, the second guess will be extremely likely.
Ma Liu didn't expect that he had just solved a huge thunder, but he didn't expect that there might be a huge mine hidden in the dark.
Purposeful retaliation, although uncomfortable, is not unacceptable, nor is it impossible to be defenseless.
They are aimless revenge, and they will retaliate on a large scale against ordinary people, thus causing panic in society.
No one can accept this result, Li Yuanji can't, the ministers can't, the people can't, and the secret guards can't accept it.
"Continue to investigate, all those involved in this matter must be strictly interrogated, and they must be asked to spit out all the information they know. In addition, arrange people to clean up the tunnels and evacuate the people near the tunnels to avoid being accidentally injured by poisonous snakes. Ma Liu said something absent-mindedly, and then dodged away.
However, before leaving, Ma Liu looked at the body of Changsun Wuji again: "Take care of him, wait for the order!" ”
Dropping these six words, Ma Liu went straight to Taiji Palace without looking back.
There are good things and bad things.
This is really headache news, and this time, it also made Ma Liu clearly understand the shortcomings of the dark guard.
And the secret guard, which was called omnipotent by himself in the past, actually has a lot to improve.
Along the way, Ma Liu kept thinking about the last words of the eldest grandson Wuji, and from time to time his mind flashed Li Yuanji's previous reform ideas about the secret guard.
It seems to have caught something, but it always feels like something is missing.
"Huh? How did you get back? "It just so happened that in front of the gate of Taiji Palace, Ma Liu met Ma Wu, who had just returned from Xingyang, and the expression on his face was a little surprised.
This time, the work of the two was completely reversed, the one in charge of the inside went to the outside, and the one in charge of the outside went to the inside.
Fortunately, so far, there have been no big mistakes on both sides, although it is not satisfactory, but it can also be regarded as decent, and basically there is no big fault with it.
"There has been a breakthrough in the case, and there should be nothing to dig up next, so I'm back, what about you?" Ma Wu shook his head, saying that there was progress, but his expression told Ma Liu that things were not particularly smooth over there.
"My side?" Ma Liu's mood at the moment is basically the same as Ma Wu, although the two have similar names, they are actually not the same surname at all, this is the name that Li Yuanji gave them in order to protect them, this is also a difficult brother, right?
"Like you, the real culprit behind the scenes was caught, but the clues behind it were broken." Ma Liu said directly, there is nothing to hide between them, both of them are investigating this case, and there is also some contact between them, especially in terms of information sharing.
However, this time, because of the distance and some reasons, the real murderer behind the scenes is not clear to Ma Wu, who is far away in Xingyang.
"The real murderer behind the scenes?" Ma Wu was stunned and surprised: "Who is it?" ”
"Eldest grandson Wuji!"
"It's him again......" Ma Wu felt a little speechless.
Anyway, can't this product live incognito? Didn't he know that her sister was still in the palace?
Even if it is impossible to sit on the queen again, it is always okay to have no worries about food and clothing in this life, right? In the same way, his sister is in the palace, by His Majesty's side, and if His Majesty wants to move him, he must also consider his sister's thoughts.
Moreover, in fact, Li Yuanji has forgiven him twice, but this thing is still tirelessly dying, and it is still going farther and farther on the road of dying, and it can't be pulled back at all.
"He committed suicide by poisoning, he didn't get back, and he threw a bomb at us before he died, and now the problem is, we don't know where he dropped the bomb?" Ma Liuji said with a headache.
Ma Wu frowned tightly.
Committing suicide by poisoning means that after he is caught, there is not enough time to interrogate him, otherwise the other party will not have the opportunity to take poison.
In other words, although the person was caught and died, it was not only the eldest grandson Wuji who died, but also the questions that those secret guards had been trying to figure out, and how big was the network of forces in the dark? And where?
I caught someone, but I didn't get any useful information, and I wasted so much effort that I just got a corpse that couldn't speak.
"It seems that the real culprit behind the scenes this time is definitely the eldest grandson Wuji." After a long time, Ma Wu could only respond like this.
"Why?" Ma Liu was a little puzzled, although he had guessed it before, but as they met the eldest grandson Wuji, this answer had become a fact.
At this time, Ma Wu said such a thing again, which made Ma Liu a little confused.
"The situation on both sides is almost the same, but the difference is that at the beginning of the fight, we buried the No. 1 person on the construction site with our own hands, and we always felt that we owed him a debt." Ma Wu muttered.
"Huh?"
……
"You're saying they've infiltrated the Ministry of Works?" Li Yuanji was taken aback, and the news really surprised him.
But when you think about it, there seems to be nothing surprising.
The current Ministry of Industry is different from later generations, and now the Ministry of Engineering is divided into two departments, one is administrative, the other is technical, and those who are engaged in construction outside are all technical, with a small number of administrative officials to cooperate with auxiliary work.
"Yes, this is now certain, and there is a lot of evidence to prove it. And they are extremely strict about the hierarchy, and in terms of maintaining the system, it is almost unimaginable, and they even have a team dedicated to assassination, this team is mostly divided into squads of five or six people, and each mission is a squad, and for special tasks, more squads may be dispatched.
But this is rarely the case, they have a very clear division of labor within them, the assassination team has already assigned the target person they are going to assassinate, the team we captured said that they had fifty people on their list, but for some other reason, only forty-three people could be found, and these forty-three people have been arrested.
And we caught No. 2, who is an ordinary worker who looks honest on the construction site, and his main job on weekdays is to be in charge of logistics, cooking for everyone.
However, it is precisely because the subordinates only know the person in charge of the higher level that the result is that on the day of the assassination, the team responsible for promoting the assassination task did not know the No. 1 person in charge of the construction site, and when the No. 1 person came forward to stop it, they killed him. Ma Wu talked in detail about the situation in Xingyang.
It was indeed quite shocking that a subordinate actually killed the person in charge of an area.
But no one is to blame for this, the one who saw them that day was the official of the Ministry of Works, and they didn't know the true identity of the other party, if they wanted to live, they naturally had to kill people.
And the Ministry of Industry officials who just wanted to clear their suspicions did not expect their lives to be so short.
The unlucky ghost is the unlucky ghost, and no one can save the unlucky attribute of his body.
However, this also means that the clues on Xingyang's side are broken, because except for the dead Ministry of Industry official, according to their system, others don't know who is above.
Li Yuanji understood the core of this system.
Even if someone really leaks it, he only needs to transfer his superiors away in time, or let him evaporate from the world.
If you don't feel safe, you can jump a few steps up, so that the loss is only a small part at most, although it hurts a little, but it saves the whole body, and the new arms will still grow.
Just like now, the only clue is broken, and at most they can only eliminate those rebels on the construction site, and there is nothing they can do elsewhere.
And the eldest grandson Wuji knows more, but this thing died more simply, and he didn't even give you a chance to force a confession.
To be honest, in the face of this system, just being strong has no effect.
It is very difficult and time-consuming to destroy them by force alone, and more importantly, the effect may not be good.
If it weren't for the fact that the identity of the eldest grandson Wuji could be determined, Li Yuanji would really be a little skeptical that this product had crossed the party and copied the underground model of our party.
