Chapter 560 Let Him Investigate
Chapter 560 Let Him Investigate
A loud thunderclap sounded, and the sky above Yangzhou City was instantly covered with dark clouds.
What followed was countless muffled thunder.
In the main hall of Prince Ying's Mansion, everyone was silent, speculating about their future fate.
Yuan Qi stood in the center of the main hall, his expression the same as before, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry now.
In the eerie silence, Yuan Qi walked towards his seat step by step and sat down confidently.
"check?"
"If Li Cunxi really wants to investigate, then let him do it!"
"I will send people to secretly send away those who know the identities of Peng Chun and Peng Qiu. What can Li Cunxi find out based on the hundreds of bones in the Beigou warehouse?"
"As long as we keep our mouths shut and don't give Li Cunxi any chances, what can he find out?"
"I can tell you all, we are on the same front for our own future. If any of us mess up, turn against me, and report me..."
Yuan Qi paused and turned to Cui Liang and Wu Wendeng.
"You know what kind of person I am. I don't want to fall out with you."
"So, no matter what price Li Cunxi offers, I hope you won't reveal even a little bit of information."
Cui Liang and Wu Wendeng didn't even need to look at each other at this moment, they nodded in agreement.
Ever since they chose to work with Yuan Qi to carry out the Han Canal boat capsizing case, the two of them had no chance of retreat.
It's easy to get on this pirate ship, but it's impossible to get off.
"Work together and don't give Li Cunxi any chance!" Cui Liang said.
"Let's work together!" Wu Wendeng shouted.
……
At the ferry, on the official ship.
Li Cunxi got the news quickly.
"Oh?"
"Work together and don't give me a chance?"
"These three people are dreaming too much. They may have forgotten that some people don't even need evidence or reasons to take action."
Lu Dayou spread out a copy of "The Analects" and covered his face with it, not looking at Li Cunxi and Wu Yanhao who was laughing beside him.
Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang were sitting opposite each other, drinking wine. Upon hearing this, they both stood up.
“Cunxi, if we choose to take action, we can quickly make Yuan Qi pay the price of death.”
"That's right, Brother Jinghui and I will be invincible together!"
……
Yuan Qi, who was in Prince Ying's mansion and had just seen off Cui Liang and Wu Wendeng, shuddered for no reason.
It's impossible for him to catch a cold in this early winter season, right?
He hasn't been cold these days!
"Strange, could it be that someone is talking about me?"
……
"Mo Ling, go find Wu Lezhi and ask him to ask Mr. Lin Yanglin to write a letter to Yuan Qi for help."
"Remember, don't let him sign it."
"If you don't leave me any clues, can't I just create some non-existent clues myself?"
Li Cunxi sneered, his face full of mockery.
He has tried every possible means to solve cases over the years, and this kind of thing is just commonplace.
His disgusting tricks are no longer useful in this era, so this basic method is enough.
Wu Yanhao yawned, lying on his side and said:
"Cunxi, I now feel more and more that Dayou and I are just farting to stir up trouble."
"But this just suits my taste. Cunxi, you have to work harder in the future. Dayou and I's dream of getting promoted and getting rich depends on you."
Lu Dayou sat up suddenly and remembered something very important.
He was too shy to say anything and just kept looking at Li Cunxi's profile.
"I'm going."
The demon spirit bowed and left on its own initiative.
But as soon as the evil spirit went out, Lu Dayou stood out and looked at Li Cunxi with a smile.
"Um, Cunxi."
"what happened?"
"I'm really not young anymore. If I don't get married and have children, I'm afraid I'll have no hope in this life."
Lu Dayou scratched his head, looking helpless.
He is no less than two years younger than Hu Jinghui. Born into a farming family in the mountains, he naturally pays more attention to continuing the family line.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have the money to marry a wife before, and later when he followed Li Cunxi, he didn’t have the time to marry a wife.
If he delays it for a few more years, he won't have enough time to get married.
"After the Han Canal boat capsize case is over, I will lead everyone back to Luoyang, and I will ask my uncle to act as a matchmaker for you."
Li Cunxi held his forehead and was unable to comment.
At dawn the next day, the news that hundreds of living people had been reduced to bones in the Beigou warehouse spread like wildfire.
Suddenly, everyone in Yangzhou felt in danger.
It was not until about four quarters past noon that a group of hooligans gathered in a small, shabby teahouse. After a few words, someone brought up this matter.
The ruffian spoke very passionately, and once the word spread, it became known as a peerless master who reduced all the people in Beigou Warehouse to bones within a quarter of an hour.
The ordinary people in the teahouse also enthusiastically told the news they had heard, and everyone began to communicate frantically.
Suddenly, a thug who had been silent all this time finished his tea and asked:
"A peerless master, in just a quarter of an hour, turned hundreds of people into white bones?"
"Do you fucking think this is a teahouse storytelling?"
"Even storytellers wouldn't dare to say such nonsense!"
"The murderer can't be a god from heaven, right?"
The common people and other ruffians suddenly realized what was happening.
It turns out that the real murderer who massacred Beigou Granary was a god from heaven!
Besides, they couldn't imagine what kind of master could reduce hundreds of people to bones.
It is not something that ordinary people can do to reduce a living person to bones.
At the ferry crossing in Yangzhou City, on the official ship's deck, the shadow made a right-angle turn in mid-air, went into the deck, and knelt on one knee towards Li Cunxi.
"The news that should be spread has already been spread."
"We only need to wait for a 'passer-by' who knows the identity of the people previously stationed at Kitago Ogura, and we can continue to advance."
"News has also been sent back from Crouching Tiger Village. Yuan Qi is going to send Bao Chong and Chen Yiqu to destroy Crouching Tiger Village. When they arrived, all the people in Crouching Tiger Village had already fled."
"The only people who really died were those people in the woods outside Yangzhou City. They were Ge Tianba, the owner of Crouching Tiger Manor, his second in command, and a group of servants."
"The body was most likely dragged away and buried by the Iron Hands, but I don't know exactly where it was buried."
Li Cunxi, who was dozing off, was suddenly awakened after listening to Shadow's report. He rubbed his face and sat up straight.
"Go to Xize Bank and ask the shopkeeper Tao Gan to contact the senior brother Long Feng of the Iron Hand Group. I need to know where the bodies of those people in Crouching Tiger Village are buried."
"Yes!"
Shadow had just come back and hadn't had a rest yet when he went out again.
More than half an hour later, a figure appeared in the Xize Silver Trumpet. The eldest brother of the Iron Hand Group, Long Feng, walked in wearing a black robe.
Tao Gan and Yingzi stood up to take it, but saw Long Feng waving his hands continuously.
"We are all here for the host, so there is no need to be so polite. Please take a seat."
Long Feng glanced at the unfamiliar shadow and sat aside.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
