Li Ke's words changed abruptly.
The entire hall was shocked!
Many Youzhou officials looked at Liu Wenli uneasily.
Facing everyone's gazes,
Liu Wenli almost fainted.
He was exasperated and pointed at Li Ke with trembling fingers.
"Slander, this is slander!
Slander!
Don't think that you can slander me, Liu Wenli, just because you're Wu Wang!
Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you killed Arhat Zhang Yong!
Besides, Arhat, you killed Zhang Yong.
Saying that they betrayed the country and colluded with the enemy is just your one-sided statement!
I've already submitted a letter to Chang 'an for Your Majesty to decide!
Justice!
But today, you slandered me for no reason and even wanted to kill me. What are your intentions?
I'm a third-grade official. The power of life and death is in the hands of His Majesty. Even if I'm guilty, it's not up to you to exercise it!
Besides, I'm innocent. What evidence do you have?”
Li Ke looked at his flustered and exasperated appearance.
He sneered,
"Youzhou hasn't been peaceful recently. You're afraid that your hard-earned property will be lost, so you should hurry to move.”
As soon as he said that, Liu Wenli felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He trembled and broke out in cold sweat!
Li Ke was indeed right!
Considering the possibility of a war, he was indeed transferring the huge assets that he had plundered and smuggled in Youzhou Province over the years!
Especially after Li Ke returned last night, he ordered a few confidants to speed up the process to prevent any more trouble!
However, he had to admit,
However!
He did not expect Li Ke to have already discovered it!
Could it be that there was a traitor?
Impossible!
Liu Wenli forced himself to remain calm.
"I didn't. I'm not. Don't slander me!
King Wu wants to convict me without any evidence. My colleagues must testify for me!”
Most of the officials were jackals of the same feather.
Naturally, he had to prove Liu Wenli's innocence.
"Your Highness, Lord Liu has always been impartial and honest!”
"We are willing to vouch for Lord Liu with our integrity!”
"Me too! Lord Liu was definitely not that kind of person!”
"Your Highness, this matter is of great importance. You can't make a conclusion so easily!”
"We need to consult the Imperial Court before we can make a conclusion!”
……
Li Ke sat comfortably on the top and looked at those who spoke up for Liu Wenli.
Those people were terrified.
They all lowered their heads to avoid Li Ke's gaze.
It was too dazzling!
Li Ke sneered.
"There are twenty people moving boxes from the ruins of the coal mine in the south of the city.”
Liu Wenli's expression changed drastically when he heard that!
The coal mine ruins were one of their strongholds. There were many precious items worth 200,000 taels.
Li Ke continued.
"There are twenty people counting the stolen money in the Lianshan bamboo forest in the eastern suburbs of the city.”
Liu Wenli's face was ashen!
"South of the city…"
"North of the city…"
Li Ke pointed out the four strongholds one by one.
These were the assets that Liu Wenli had carefully instructed his trusted aides to transport away today!
Li Ke actually knew everything like the back of his hand. He must have fallen into his hands by now!
Liu Wenli was in despair!
Who was the traitor?
His expression was ferocious and terrified.
He was afraid that Li Ke would really kill him!
However, he had to admit,
However!
This wasn't his money, it was the Crown Prince's!
"Your Highness Wu Wang, I am just a pawn!
You understand that these are not my personal property!
Behind me is someone you can't afford to offend!"
Li Ke looked at him coldly.
"It doesn't matter if it is or not. It was all obtained through your corruption.
As for the people behind you,
So who?
There is no one in the Great Tang that this king cannot afford to offend!
Men, drag Liu Wenli out and behead him!”
Soon, soldiers broke in.
Li Ke already had absolute control over the Youzhou garrison.
Li Ke was serious, and Liu Wenli was horrified.
"No, I can't! I am a third rank official, you, a prince, have no right to convict and kill me!”
"No, I can't! You can't arrest me! You can't kill me! I'm the Crown Prince's subordinate!
His Highness the Crown Prince will not let you kill me!”
Li Ke sneered.
Liu Wenli was dragged out of the door like a madman.
"I'm willing to testify against the Crown Prince for you!”
Li Ke's emotionless face responded to him.
Very soon, the hands outside the Governor's Office raised their knives and fell.
Liu Wenli was beheaded!
Li Ke did not have the time to pay attention to Li Chengqian now.
Liu Wenli might be able to bite Li Chengqian's fur.
However, he couldn't beat a crown prince.
If he wanted to deal with Li Chengqian, Li Ke could do it easily in the future.
The most important thing right now was the Eastern Turks!
He, Li Ke, would launch a war to destroy the country!
He then casually cleaned up a few officials who were the same as Liu Wenli.
The entire Youzhou City was completely under the control of Li Ke!
"I temporarily appoint Chu Suiliang as the acting provincial governor. He will handle the military and political affairs of Youzhou City. Chu Suiliang will report to me directly!”
Chu Suiliang, who was standing at the side, was shocked and delighted!
King Wu was helping him.
However, it also tied him tightly to the King of Wu.
However, without Wu Wang, he would have had a slim chance of survival this time!
He was just a nameless Sixth Grade official, yet he was now being put in an important position by the King of Wu.
My king is a good Bole!
What was there to hesitate about!
"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness.”
Li Ke nodded.
"Your first task is to report the current situation in Youzhou in my name.
In addition:
This king will launch a war of annihilation against the Eastern Turks!
I, Li Ke, swear that I will not return until the Eastern Turks are destroyed!”
Li Ke's memorial caused a sensation in Chang 'an!
