Late night Rincheng, the city lord's mansion,

Chu Qingyan, who got the news of successfully winning the two cities, finally relaxed his frowns, turned his head to look at Liang Wenyu and asked:

"Mr. Liang, are you sure that King Chu will help me?"

Liang Wenyu said very confidently: "Second Miss, don't worry, now that the King of Chu doesn't dare to really tear his face with the three major forces, he will help us, and he will guess that we have enough hole cards to solve this matter." ”

Hehe, the biggest reason why he let Zhou Xinghua fake his death has never been his immediate interests.

Zhou Qiuya, Wu Yong and the others next to them looked at Liang Wenyu who had just appeared, their eyes full of curiosity.

………………

The next day, when the sun had just risen, Li Yuan woke up in his cultivation, but he got a letter from Chu Qingyan through the communication talisman.

The content of the letter roughly means that the real culprit who attacked and killed Zhou Junshou has been found, because the matter is urgent, so she temporarily took over Ancheng and Kuicheng in the name of the princess to catch the murderer.

"Hehe, Chu Qingyan has a problem for this king."

"What a chop, then play!"

Li Yuan didn't expect Chu Qingyan to dare to make this move.

She was so confident that she wouldn't do anything to her!

Xun Yu on the side carefully read the information that happened in Huiyang County last night, and looked up at Li Yuandao:

"Chu Qingyan has a master by his side."

Li Yuan was not the slightest surprised, looked up at the rising sun outside the window with his hands behind his back, and said disapprovingly with a face like jade:

As the second lady of Zhenguo Mansion, she naturally has hole cards.

So this king wants to help her cover up last night's behavior? ”

Xun Yu nodded and said, "They came up with this strategy precisely because they saw that His Highness did not dare to let the chaos break out in advance." ”

Li Yuan understood what Xun Yu meant, and sighed:

"Yes, after all, killing the county guard is the same crime as sending troops to take the city."

Li Yuan turned to look at Xun Yu and suddenly asked:

"Wen Ruo, what do you think is the chance that Zhou Xinghua is still alive?"

Xun Yu gave an affirmative reply:

"Ninety percent, being able to win two cities overnight shows that Chu Qingyan has been planning for a long time, and those who can think of this plan should know that the three major forces will attack Zhou Xinghua, and it is not impossible to join forces to lay out."

"Who do you think is in a hurry between the two parties?"

"Maybe both sides have the intention of contributing to the trouble."

Xun Yu said in a low voice.

Li Yuan suddenly had a thought, they were testing Emperor Yu's bottom line!

Now as the focus of the Dayu Dynasty, it is impossible for the actions in the Lingyang Mansion not to attract the attention of the top forces.

Zhou Xinghua's death, it is easy to guess that the three major forces did it.

But as long as the three major forces want to, it is not easy to find a scapegoat with "conclusive evidence".

Chu Qingyan guessed their thoughts and ...... them as he wished.

Li Yuan's eyes narrowed, revealing coldness: "It seems that Chu Qingyan wants to use Zhou Xinghua to force this king to stand in line!" ”

Waiting for Chu Qingyan to drive the three major forces out of Huiyang County, and then let Zhou Xinghua appear in front of the world, if Zhou Xinghua directly provoked the three major forces to attack and kill him.

As the target of the attack, what evidence will be more convincing than his own words.

As the king of Chu in Lingyang Mansion, do you want to find the three major forces for an explanation!

Xun Yu bowed her head and said: "In the letter, the princess said that she had found the murderer, but she did not clearly indicate that she was a member of the three major forces, indicating that she wanted to use this to blackmail Her Highness to cover up the matter."

If you don't cover it up, in desperation, the princess will let Zhou Xinghua, who could have been used as a hole card, appear in advance.

Then with his existence, the name of the county guard, and the righteousness of the princess are enough to offset last night's actions.

And at that time, His Royal Highness had to stand on the opposite side of the three major forces.

Once His Royal Highness and the three major forces officially tear their faces, it will represent the imperial court, and then the other top forces will also enter in advance. ”

Li Yuan showed murderous intent and said coldly:

"So Zhou Xinghua must die, Chu Qingyan didn't expose Zhou Xinghua, she wasn't ready, once she took control of Huiyang County, and then exposed Zhou Xinghua, then the result would be the same!"

"That's right!" Xun Yu raised his head, his face serious.

Li Yuan took a deep breath, his face returned to calm, and he walked out:

"Let's go, let's go to the government office first, and then take control of the capital city."

…………

In the hall of the palace, when Li Yuan arrived, important officials in the city, such as Mo Ziyan, Chen Wei, Lu Changming, Lin Changhai, and Wang Yan, had been waiting here for a long time.

"Meet the King of Chu!"

After the officials saluted, they sat down in their seats.

As soon as Li Yuan sat on the throne, officials immediately impeached Chu Qingyan.

"Your Royal Highness, last night the princess sent troops to attack Ancheng and Kuicheng, she was so bold and intended to rebel!"

Li Yuan saw the official who jumped out first, and then looked downward.

"Who else thinks the princess has rebelled except this official?"

"Weichen seconded!"

After a while, two more officials walked out and stood with him.

Li Yuan's heart moved, it seemed that Chu Qingyan's actions last night made the three major forces also feel angry, and they didn't seem to be hiding these chess pieces in the capital city.

"Ahem."

Li Yuan cleared his throat and explained to everyone:

"Last night, the princess sent troops, and the king had permission to do so, and the city lord of Kuicheng and the city lord of Ancheng had a long-standing grudge against Zhou Junshou, and planned to assassinate Zhou Junshou, and they deserved death.

This king sent the princess to arrest the two city lords, temporarily take over the two cities, and find out more accomplices involved in this matter! ”

"Wow!"

The faces of the three officials who stood up changed drastically.

The officials below suddenly exclaimed in surprise and exchanged heads.

Li Yuan continued:

"Zhou Junshou was killed, and this king is very heartbroken.

However, the county shall not be left without a county for a day.

With such a bad incident in Huiyang County, the king must send a trustworthy and capable minister to take up the post of county warden. ”

Hearing Li Yuan's words, all the officials were shocked, and they looked at Lu Changming with Li Yuan's gaze.

"Lu Tongzhi, the stability of Huiyang County will be handed over to you."

Lu Changming's expression was solemn, he stood up, walked to the middle of the hall and bowed:

"Your Highness trusts the ministers and is grateful, and the ministers will not live up to His Highness's entrustment."

"Good, good!"

Li Yuan said two good words in a row, looked at the three officials standing behind him and said:

The three of them were also suspicious of the princess's actions for the safety of Huiyang County, and the king was very relieved.

This king has always persuaded people with reason, so the three of you will follow Lu Junshou to Huiyang County to investigate again whether Zhou Junshou's murder is real, how about it? ”

Catching up with Li Yuan's meaningful eyes, the three officials felt a pang in their hearts, and under the gaze of the officials, the three officials could only nod.

"Okay, time is pressing, Lu Junshou and these three officials go back and prepare, and set off on the same day."

"Command!"

The four of them left the palace under the eyes of the officials.

As the four of them left, Li Yuan's face straightened up, and his expression became solemn.

The officials below were shocked in their hearts, and there was gossip last night that the king of Chu planned to let the great talent under his command take over the position of Tongzhi.

No matter which gossip came out, the officials were like mirrors in their hearts, sitting upright with serious expressions, waiting for Li Yuan to speak.

"Lu Junshou left, and the king lost a right-hand man, and he was a little heartbroken.

Fortunately, the king found a genius, and his abilities were recognized by the king, and he thought that he could serve as a fellow intellectual.

What do you think? ”
