Chapter 690 Planning
Sima Li Cheng glanced at the official and frowned.
"How are you doing?"
The official gave a sinister smile.
"It's just killing him!"
"A mere heir of the Li clan, a mere King of Qin, dares to bark in front of our aristocratic family?"
"Once he disappears without anyone noticing, the imperial court will realize how powerful we are and will definitely not dare to oppose us again."
He stood with his hands behind his back, looking like a master.
"The most important thing is that even if they investigate the case, they can't find us."
"As long as they can't find anything on us, what can they do to us? Without evidence, don't even think about causing trouble for our clan."
"After all, everything is subject to reason."
"We even brought down Di Renjie's third son, Di Guangzhao. He's just Li Cunxi, the Prince of Qin. He has no evidence and no means. What can he do to us? Hahahahaha."
Sima Li Cheng glanced at Changshi Gao Wang and found that he was interested, probably approving the plan, and his mood immediately plummeted.
He still overestimated the intelligence and character of these people.
If an insignificant person disappears, they can just blame it on the past.
But if the missing person was a provincial governor, then there would be no excuse, not to mention that there was also an imperial envoy.
He was not afraid of the court coming to investigate the case. He was only afraid that the investigators would guess their specific thoughts and then take risky measures.
"Where are the Counselor Lu Dayou and the Governor Di Guangyuan now?" Gao Wang asked.
Another official stepped forward and said, "I really don't know. They seem to have completely disappeared. We've been looking for them for two days, but we can't find them."
"That's really troublesome. Will they show up?"
"They jumped into the river."
"Then it's fine. I think he must have drowned. Hahahaha."
Gao Wang was in a very good mood.
As these officials from Luzhou families said, how can the court convince the public if it has no evidence to investigate a case?
You can't just mobilize a large army and kill them all.
Everyone was happy for a while and laughter could be heard everywhere.
Suddenly, someone came in from outside. Everyone heard the footsteps and turned around to see that it was just a clerk.
This man came in and bowed:
"Everyone, the scouts have reported that the investigation has been completed."
"The Qin Wang Li Cunxi mentioned earlier did not come alone with the Qianniu Guards."
"Your Majesty sent to Luzhou the Prince of Qin Li Cunxi, the Prince of Liang Wu Sansi, as well as the Qianniu Guard General Hu Jinghui and a thousand Qianniu Guards."
"Their purpose was to investigate a case, but the scouts discovered something strange. After Li Cunxi and his entourage entered Huaizhou, General Hu Jinghui of the Qianniu Guards actually arrived in Luzhou first with hundreds of cavalry and took control of the military camp."
"It is rumored that General Lu has been taken control by Hu Jinghui's Qianniu Guards, and the entire military camp now only obeys Hu Jinghui's orders."
In the lobby, the officials were unable to understand Hu Jinghui's intention for a while.
Soon, the officials who had initially belittled Li Cunxi stood up, holding their heads high and looking extremely proud.
"Everyone, it's done!"
"That's what Li Cunxi is afraid of us doing!"
"Hahahahaha."
"If he wasn't afraid of us, why would he allow someone to take control of the military camp first?"
"Now, he is afraid of us and can't do anything to us, so he can only resort to this last resort to protect his own safety!"
"With this idea in mind, Li Cunxi won't have the confidence to face us. He can only roll back to Luoyang in disgrace, hahahaha!"
Many officials from prominent families in Luzhou burst into laughter when they heard this, and were ready to see Li Cunxi off from Luzhou.
In their view, this world should belong to the aristocratic families.
Whoever dares not to cooperate with the aristocratic families, no matter who the other party is, just do it!
They badly betrayed Di Guangyuan, who was unwilling to cooperate, and secretly sent people to hunt down Lu Dayou and the newly appointed governor Di Guangzhao who came to investigate the case. This was their explanation to the court!
Just one fucking word!
The newly appointed governor must listen to the aristocratic families of Luzhou!
If you dare not listen to them, no matter how many people your court sends, they will be killed without a burial place!
And they are not afraid of the court coming to investigate. No evidence will be found anyway, and at that time they will not be able to touch these officials who come from aristocratic families!
This is their confidence.
This is also exploiting loopholes in the law.
The main hall of the Governor's Mansion was filled with laughter and joy for a while.
On the edge of a cliff outside Shangdang County, Shadow and Zhao Hai found this place with four internal guards.
There were obvious signs of a fight on the edge of the cliff, and from the messy footprints on the ground, it could be seen that someone had a fight here.
The dried bloodstains on a clump of grass on the edge of the cliff were enough to prove that someone had been injured here not long ago.
Through the tricky angle, Shadow analyzed the most likely location of the murderer and stood there.
"Captain Zhao, I think if I were to injure someone with my knife here, they would most likely fall off the cliff."
Shadow glanced at the edge of the cliff less than a meter away and said seriously.
Zhao Hai is no pushover either. To be able to become the leader of the cabinet, he must have his own unique strengths.
I saw him lying on the ground, observing carefully around the edge, and then squatting, moving slowly along the way he came.
Soon, Zhao Hai pointed to a patch of grass behind the cliff.
"I just took a look at the footprints on the ground and found that there were eight people in total."
"The two people in front are quite heavy. It's obvious that they don't know that they should step lightly on the ground to run faster when escaping."
"The people behind them were extremely fast, catching up from over 300 meters away and driving them to the edge of the cliff."
"The footprints on the ground are enough to verify the speed of these people. Their footprints are much shallower."
"Someone was cut down on the cliff edge, but it wasn't the pursued, it was the pursuer, because the footprints that reached the grass were missing a lighter pair."
Shadow followed and checked along the way, and found that it was just as Zhao Hai said.
After this clue was discovered, Shadow immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
After the Luzhou case broke out, Li Cunxi personally went to the Internal Guard Palace to ask him and Zhao Hai to help Lu Dayou and Di Guangyuan. That showed how much he trusted them.
However, not long after that, Lu Dayou and Di Guangyuan disappeared.
"Let's go and chase him in."
Shadow took out a dagger, chased into the grass first, and began to check the weeds that were obviously bent by being trampled.
Zhao Hai followed behind, and the group continued to track the clues ahead.
After chasing for half an hour, Shadow and Zhao Hai finally got out of the forest and came to a wide land.
It was difficult to find clues in a place like this. Shadow couldn't see any footprints, so he sighed and separated the people, hoping to find some clues.
As soon as the crowd dispersed, within four or five breaths, an inner guard appeared with a happy expression and said:
"Two leaders, there is a hole here!"
