Chapter 551 Goodbye Chen Yiqu
Chapter 551 Goodbye Chen Yiqu
Cui Liang was sweating profusely, thinking that Li Cunxi was also a corrupt official who took bribes and committed injustice.
Compared with those bastards like Cui Liang and Li Cunxi, he can be considered a good official.
After cursing Li Cunxi in his heart, Cui Liang quickly looked up at Li Cunxi beside him.
Li Cunxi said with satisfaction: "It is my honor that Governor Cui is so generous."
"But Governor Cui has one thing that is unclear. I'm afraid the news of our bribery will soon be reported back to the capital."
Cui Liang's heart suddenly tightened, and he quickly asked, "What do you mean, sir?"
"Governor Cui, you may not know that although I am the head of all officials, I have always had an inner guard by my side, who has been monitoring me."
"What?" Cui Liang was dumbfounded. "Then didn't that mean that the internal guard had seen all of you taking bribes today?"
"I can be sure of this, because even if that inner guard does not report this to the emperor, the two inner guards beside me will definitely not hide this matter from the emperor."
Li Cunxi had an innocent look on his face and betrayed the demon spirit and the shadow.
The demon spirit and the shadow stretched out their hands and waved towards Cui Liang.
"There is always a loophole. I actually bribed these high-ranking officials in front of the two heads of the Inner Guards."
When this matter was reported back to the capital and reached the emperor's ears, Cui Liang's tenure as governor of Yangzhou came to an end.
How could Wu Zetian tolerate him bribing the ministers in charge of the case?
"Cui Zhishi, are you panicking about their identities?"
"You don't have to do this."
Li Cunxi chuckled.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please save my life. If Your Majesty knew that I had bribed the imperial envoy, Your Majesty would definitely skin me alive, Your Highness!"
Cui Liang fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly in panic.
Li Cunxi reached out his hand to help the man up and said, "That's not a big deal. Since I have taken your painting of a lady with a fan, I will definitely not sit idly by and watch you die."
"Please help me, sir."
"Well, you can tell us about the Han Canal boat capsizing case later. After I know the truth, I will return to Luoyang and report to His Majesty."
"Can this really save me?"
"Perhaps, when His Majesty is happy, he might forget about this matter."
"Sir, I will tell you about the Han Canal boat capsizing case."
More than an hour later, Cui Liang finished telling the story of the Han Canal boat capsizing case, and then he looked at Li Cunxi with hope.
Unexpectedly, Li Cunxi didn't move, his eyes were always on his face.
"Your Highness, Duke Qin, did I say something wrong?"
"No, you didn't say anything wrong." Li Cunxi said, "You just missed some things, such as the bloodstains in the woods outside the city. Who shed them?"
"This... I really don't know."
"Don't know? Then you haven't investigated it?"
Cui Liang's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He said, "We investigated, but didn't find any clues. We couldn't find the body, we only found a pool of blood."
Li Cunxi nodded and slowly stood up.
"In that case, this is an unsolved case. It is an unsolved case. Since so many days have passed, I have no way to investigate it thoroughly, so I will just let it go."
"Cui, please remember, no matter who you are facing, you must do as I said to you today. Do not speak nonsense, otherwise..."
Li Cunxi gently stroked the fan in his hand.
"I don't have to have this painting of a lady with a fan."
"Compared to my own reputation, I think this thing can be discarded."
Cui Liang quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Don't worry, Your Highness. Even if I die, I will never dare to speak nonsense."
"So much the better."
Li Cunxi closed the fan, and the heat in his eyes faded a lot.
He turned around and looked at Wu Yanhao and others who were still sitting, and said, "We can go back now."
"I'll see you off, gentlemen and generals." Cui Liang said flatteringly.
"Okay, then walk with us."
……
"You mean, you saw with your own eyes Li Cunxi, Hu Jinghui and others parading through the streets and going to the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion?"
"Then what is Li Cunxi's purpose in going to the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion?"
The secret room in Prince Ying’s Mansion, the headquarters of the Iron Hand Group.
Yuan Qi, with a gloomy face, cast a deathly gaze at the members of the Iron Hand Group who were bowing below.
The members of the Iron Hand Group were also complaining bitterly. The official ship had been in Yangzhou for many days, and this was the first time that Li Cunxi and his men had disembarked.
He was just an ordinary member of the Iron Hand Group. How could he know what Li Cunxi's purpose was in going to the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion?
"I, I don't know, Master."
"You useless thing! You don't even know what Li Cunxi is doing at the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion. What else can you do..."
Yuan Qi was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized something was wrong.
There is something right in what this Iron Hand killer said.
He is just a small killer. How could he know the purpose of Li Cunxi's visit to the governor's mansion?
Yuan Qi should have suspected him if he really knew the purpose of Li Cunxi's visit to the Governor's Mansion.
"Okay, it's okay. You can go down first. Always pay attention to the whereabouts of Li Cunxi and others, and report to me at any time."
"Yes!"
The Iron Hand assassin saluted and quickly fled.
"Long Feng, what do you think?"
Yuan Qi turned to Long Feng, eagerly hoping that Long Feng could give him a reasonable guess.
Long Feng stroked the long beard on his chin, shook his head for a long time, and didn't say a word.
"Long Feng, why are you pretending to be mute?" Yuan Qi asked with a frown.
Long Feng still looked calm and composed, and suddenly said, "Master, although I know Li Cunxi best in our Iron Hand Group, I dare not speak directly about the purpose of Li Cunxi's visit."
"how do I say this?"
"Li Cunxi is good at investigating cases, stirring up troubled waters, and fishing in troubled waters."
"That's not bad."
"This person has always been confusing over the past few years. No one can accurately guess what he wants to do."
Yuan Qi was speechless for a moment.
Faced with the eloquent Long Feng, he didn't even know how to communicate with him.
What this guy said about Li Cunxi is confusing. Isn't it just like taking off pants to fart?
It was for this reason that he asked Long Feng to help him think.
"Forget it, forget it. I won't talk to you anymore. Just manage the Iron Hand Group. I'll let Qi Hai find out about this matter."
"What the Sect Master said makes sense. Qi Hai is a cautious and careful person. Letting him investigate is really the best use of his talents."
Soon, Chen Yiqiu, who was summoned, received this very important task.
He strolled out of Prince Ying's Mansion and just as he stepped onto the street, he ran into Li Cunxi and others wandering around the street.
He and Li Cunxi exchanged glances from a distance, and each understood the other. Chen Yiqu then followed Li Cunxi from a distance, all the way to the ferry outside Yangzhou city.
In a corner of the ferry, he saw Ma Rong, wearing a hero's helmet and dressed like a hero of the outlaws.
and Joe Tai in his One Piece outfit wearing a straw hat.
