Chapter 267: The forces that provoke the city guards
With Li Shijie's story, Zhou Hao finally knew why Li Shijie would become a foreign appearance now.
In fact, to put it simply, there is a problem of public security, and during this time, the security of Tokyo City suddenly began to feel chaotic.
Originally, according to the previous martial arts conference, the security of Tokyo City would be very calm, and no one dared to stir up trouble in Tokyo City, because if they dared to stir up trouble in Tokyo City during this period, it would be to slap the face of the entire royal family and the court.
However, there was indeed a change during this year's martial arts conference, and the entire Tokyo city suddenly began to surge during this time, and now every morning Li Shijie will receive news that there is a fight in a certain city at night, and there are dead or seriously injured people, and Li Shijie was shocked at the beginning, who dares to make trouble in Tokyo at this time.
At first, Li Shijie just thought it was just some accident, but after this time lasted for four days, Li Shijie knew that someone must be making trouble in Tokyo, so Li Shijie couldn't figure out who was stirring up trouble in Tokyo at the beginning, and what was his purpose?
Didn't he know that stirring up trouble in Tokyo at this time was to slap the face of the imperial family? Especially since this year's martial arts conference had the participation of the county lord of the imperial family.
Isn't he afraid of the royal family's retribution? All of this is confusing Li Shijie, and this is not the key, the key is that Li Shijie has not been able to find out who that person is at all after many investigations? And who is the murderer?
Li Shijie has tried a lot, but he still can't find out who the murderer is, as if the murderer is a ghost.
Later, Li Shijie was also ruthless, and sent a large number of people to squat in various places in the city, as long as there was a battle, he would rush over immediately, but God seemed to be joking with Li Shijie, and many times when he rushed over, he could only see a corpse lying on the ground.
During this period, it was not that they rushed over to see the murderer, but those murderers were strong, and the people sent by Li Shijie were not opponents at all, even if they saw the murderer, it was useless, they could only add a corpse to Tokyo the next day.
This made Li Shijie feel crazy, and later Li Shijie gradually felt that those people seemed to be targeting him, because at this time, one of Li Shijie's staff analyzed: "This is very likely to be aimed at Li Shijie." ”
At first, Li Shijie was puzzled when he heard this, how could this be aimed at himself?
Later, after the staff member asked a question, Li Shijie instantly understood.
The staff member asked Li Shijie: Who is the nominal supreme governor in Tokyo?
As soon as Li Shijie heard this, he immediately understood, yes, as the nominal supreme governor in Tokyo,
It seems to be immense, but now that such a thing happens, if you ask for responsibility, you must be the first to be punished.
It is possible for others to hide, but how can he, the titular governor of Tokyo City, hide?
Li Shijie is not a stupid person, after such a question from his staff, he thought that this time was the beginning of the martial arts conference,
If there is such a big incident in Tokyo at this time, and he, as the supreme governor, has not caught the murderer, then the imperial court and the imperial family will definitely come up with someone to blame, after all, this is the face of the imperial family and the imperial court.
And as the supreme governor of Tokyo City, he must be the first choice to take the blame, even if it is because his identity and family will not be destroyed by the royal family and the imperial court, but if he wants to do something big in the future, or if he has something to do in his career, he will definitely not use himself again.
After all, the imperial court and the royal family will not use a person who has lost their face again. At their level, a lot of times, face is more important than anything else.
Thinking of this, Li Shijie was in a cold sweat behind him, if he really couldn't catch the murderer this time and couldn't quell the civil strife in Tokyo City, not to mention the court and the royal family, even his own family would definitely be disappointed in himself, even if he was the son of the patriarch of the family, he couldn't change the fate of falling out of favor in the family.
After all, everything has to stand aside in front of the family, and anything about personal honor and disgrace is a trivial matter in front of the family.
This may be the sorrow of the children of the big family, although sometimes they can rely on the family to enjoy the infinite scenery outside, but sometimes everything has to stand aside in front of the interests of the family.
Just when Li Shijie was trying to quell the civil unrest in Tokyo, the incident escalated on the fifth day.
In the past, although it was said that there were weapons and people died, but it was also at night and not during the day, and at night the sea could be said to be unmanageable at night.
But at noon on the fifth day, Li Shijie received a report from his subordinates that there had been a fight in the Xicheng district of Tokyo City, and that people were also killed.
When Li Shijie received this report, the whole person froze somewhere, I didn't expect those people to be so bold now, they dare to kill people during the day, and they are still in the city of Tokyo, and it is still the time for the martial arts conference.
He is trying to lose face to the royal family and the court in front of the entire Great Zhou Hao family, and it also shows that they can't wait to take their lives now, even if they don't play to death, they want to get themselves out of this position.
At this time, Li Shijie had already vaguely guessed in his heart who did these incidents, but he didn't believe it until he guessed it, because according to his intelligence, this person didn't have such energy at all, where did he come from such a strong force.
And according to Li Shijie's investigation, this person has been in the mansion during this time, and has never been out of the mansion, where did he find it?
Moreover, during this time, Li Shijie's mansion was very strictly monitored, and Li Shijie knew where the people who entered and exited the mansion went.
It is because of this that he is not sure whether it is this person, and Li Shijie feels that what happened during this period of time is not only responsible for himself, but also responsible for it, and the responsibility is not less than himself? If he really did it, then why did he?
Even if he is pushed down, but he may also be pushed down, after all, he is in charge of the security of the entire Tokyo City, which is also something that Li Shijie has never been able to understand,
No, when he heard that Zhou Hao would return to the Plains County Lord's mansion today, he hurried over, after all, his own strength was not enough to investigate these.
In fact, in his eyes, Zhou Hao doesn't have this power, but he can't stand the back of others.
That's right, Li Shijie just wanted to use Zhou Hao to let the plain county lord mobilize the power of the royal family to intervene in it, after all, the plain county lord was sent by the royal family and the imperial court, who knows what rights and power they secretly gave the plain county lord.
According to Li Shijie's guess, it is very likely that he can mobilize the power of the royal family and the imperial court in Tokyo City, if the royal family and the imperial court have no secret power in Tokyo City, it is unbelievable to kill Li Shijie.
