Chapter 55: Public Opinion
When Li Fu and Xia Qingyu confronted each other just now, Song Bo had been standing not far away and quietly watching, without stepping forward or speaking.
He did not show the slightest doubt about any decision made by Li Fu or any order he issued.
When everyone in the courtyard dispersed, he walked up to Li Fu and said with some concern: "Little prince, are you going a little too far by provoking the royal family so much?" In case the emperor turns his face, with the current strength of our palace in Yandi City, I am afraid that it will not be able to compete with the royal family! ”
"Hehe, it won't." Li Fu smiled and said confidently: "The more rampant my actions are, the more unclear Xia Zhende will be, and his grandfather and second uncle are leading the troops outside, he will definitely not dare to do anything." I will only swallow my anger and remember me again in my heart. But... Even if I flatter him, will he let us go? If you wait for the opportunity, don't you want to do it? Since the results are all the same, it's better to be wanton, even if you haven't fought the royal family in the end, at least it's cool, isn't it? ”
"This..."Song Bo said with a smile: "Little prince, you are open-minded and can see clearly!" ”
Li Fu shrugged his shoulders, turned around and was about to go back to his room to sleep, and pick up the sweet dream that was interrupted by Xia Qingyu, but Songbo chased after him again and reported: "Little Wangye, find out who colluded with Du Xiaoquan and them and revealed your whereabouts." ”
"Oh?" Li Fu turned his head and asked with some confusion, "Clarified?" So fast? ”
Last night, Li Fu showed mercy and gave Du Xiaoquan a happy heart, which meant that he gave up continuing to investigate.
Because the other two were lured by Du Xiaoquan with himself as bait, Du Xiaoquan was in contact with him from beginning to end on the side of Yandi City, and those two people didn't know anything.
However, Li Fu didn't care too much, anyway, the forces of this huge Yandi City were complicated, like a sieve, there were too many people who could leak his news, and there were even more people who wanted to put him to death, whether it was Du Xiaoquan who colluded with him, in fact, it didn't matter at all.
Unexpectedly, only one night passed, and Songbo investigated the results.
Somber nodded and replied, "Clear... According to the two rat-tailed remnants of the Mountain Moving Sect, because the assassination of the little prince is very important, they are also afraid that they will be disposed of after being used, so they kept an eye on it, secretly followed Du Xiaoquan once, and found that the person who came into contact with Du Xiaoquan was a person from the Taishi Mansion, Ye Qing's subordinates! ”
Ye Qing's subordinates?
Li Fu's eyebrows furrowed, feeling a little unexpected, but it seemed to be reasonable.
Ye Qing was wiped face by him in the Shihuashui Building, and he already had some relationship with Du Chaowen, so it seemed reasonable that he would contact Du Xiaoquan and reveal information to her.
But... How do you feel that this information is a little easy to come by?
Ye Qing is too stupid, right? It's okay to find a few martial artists from the Middle Three Realms to assassinate you, and you also reveal your origin and identity?
Seeing Li Fu's doubts, Songbo continued: "I have used the means for those two people, and I can be sure that what they said is the truth. However, I suspect that someone may be obstructing it and blaming Ye Qing. Of course, it is not ruled out that Ye Qing himself is suspicious... Little prince, what do you think should be done? ”
"What should I do?" Li Fu sneered and said: "This king is a good young man who is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and abides by the law, and if he catches this kind of conspiracy to collude with the remnants of the rat tail, he will naturally hand it over to the court and deal with it impartially!" It shouldn't be us who should think about what to do, but the Taishi Mansion. Go ahead, send those two remnants of the rat tail of the mountain-moving sect to the palace as well, and ask the emperor to rule! Be sure to seek justice for this king! ”
Hearing this, Song Bo showed a sudden expression, and hurriedly responded: "Yes!" ”
"Alas... What an eventful time! It's the rat-tailed remnant who assassinated the king, and the villain who kidnapped the eldest princess to break into the palace, why can't it be stopped? This Yandi City, I'm afraid it's going to be chaotic! After Li Fu sighed, he fell asleep on the bed again.
A few days ago, after the news came out that Li Fu killed Du Chaowen on the Huashui Tower, it caused quite a stir!
Although because of the huge power of the backer king's mansion, it had to be stopped in the end. However, in private, there are still many people who criticize Li Fu verbally and in writing, calling him a bully, a ruthless demon, a loyal and good national thief in vain, and a "city tyrant" who rampant in Yandi City.
Obviously, everyone doesn't think in their hearts that Du Chaowen is really the rat-tailed remnant of the Mountain Moving Sect, but he is jealous of Li Fu's wind and gives him a big hat.
As a result, when the news of Du Xiaoquan's assassination of Li Fu came out, the city was in an uproar!
Those who supported Li Fu in the past raised their eyebrows one after another.
Those who have "slandered" Li Fu are ashamed.
At this moment, Du Chaowen was completely nailed to the pillar of shame!
Especially when the backer palace sent Du Xiaoquan's two accomplices to the palace, identified Ye Qing, the third grandson of the Taishi, as a rat-tailed remnant of the Mountain Moving Sect, and provided him with information on Li Fu's whereabouts, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, making rumors spread in the city!
Some people say that Ye Qing had colluded with Du Chaowen in the morning, didn't he see that day in the Shihuashui Building, the two of them sat together? It must be a good friendship!
Some people also said that not only Ye Qing, but even the Taishi Ye Zhaoxuan took refuge in the Mountain Moving Sect. It's just because the Taishi is jealous of the merits of the backer king and is dissatisfied that the backer king oppresses him in everything, so he would rather collude and rebel than bring down the backer king's mansion!
Some people even say that the emperor will inevitably shield Taishi and Ye Qing, because even the emperor is jealous of the merits of the backer king, and regards the backer's palace as a thorn in his side, and wants to get rid of it quickly!
These bold remarks are circulating in the market, don't think about it, they are all spread by Li Fu to spread the dark lines of the palace!
The thinking of the foolish people is best guided, and the means of manipulating the people's hearts with public opinion and information, Li Fu is simply familiar with the road!
In the end, after investigation, Taishifu and Ye Qing were indeed framed, and someone bribed Ye Ying, the steward of Taishifu, and asked him to contact Du Xiaoquan in the name of Ye Qing to pass on Li Fu's whereabouts.
When such a result was announced, there was an instant uproar!
Everyone didn't believe that this was the truth, and they all felt that the emperor was sheltering the Taishi Mansion and targeting the backer king's mansion.
For a time, the royal family and the Taishi Mansion were directly roasted on the volcano!
The prestige of the imperial court has been dealt a great blow!
"Smack!"
In the palace of the heart of the palace, the sound of the teacup being thrown to the ground sounded, followed by Xia Zhende's roar: "Check! Check it out to me! This is definitely not the means of Li Fu's hairy boy! Let's see who is supporting the backer's palace! Get him out, I'm going to break him to pieces! ”
Taishi's mansion.
Ye Qing, who was confined to his home, sat and paced back and forth in the room, not as angry as outsiders imagined, but muttered to himself in great confusion: "How could Ye Ying be bribed and betrayed me?" He shouldn't be the eyeliner that any force has planted in the house, and he can't be bought by money... Wrong! None of them are right... Ye Ying shouldn't betray me, Du Chaowen shouldn't die, and Li Fu shouldn't have an affair with the eldest princess... There is a problem, it is this Li Fu who has a problem! ”
Backer King's Mansion.
"Is this the person Ye Qing has been in contact with in the recent past?"
Li Fu held a list in his hand, on which their identities were marked behind each name, including the descendants of important officials of the imperial court, as well as scholars who had not yet made a name for themselves like Du Chaowen, and even some low-level officials.
Looking from beginning to end, Li Fu threw the list back to the shadow guard in front of him, and ordered: "Kill all of these people." Just take your time, try to create accidents, and don't assassinate directly, so as not to attract too much attention. Then he continued to monitor Ye Qing and recorded all his movements without any omission! ”
"Yes!" The Shadow Guard answered the order.
