After all, the person that Du He had accidentally killed was not an ordinary person, but Cui Yunlei's son, Cui Wenyu.
Cui Yunlei had a lot of power in the entire Cui family of Boling. Therefore, if Li Er used the imperial power to protect Du He from death, he would be going against the entire Cui family of Boling.
At that time, it could cause a civil revolt at any time, causing the lives of the people to be plunged into misery and rivers of blood to flow.
However…
Du He was Du Ruhui's son, and Du Ruhui was Li Er's right-hand man and the one who set many national policies.
This time, even if Li Er didn't shield Du He and openly ruled,
However, it would also cause the Cui family of Boling to bear a grudge against the entire court. At that time, they might openly oppose the implementation of many national policies.
At that time, the Cui family of Boling would be eager for revenge and might even secretly hurt this innocent woman, Xue Xi. After all, everything started because of her.
The only way to prevent this from happening seemed to be to help Du He get away with it!
Don't let Du He get involved in this manslaughter case.
Li Er also considered that Du Ruhui was old and his health was getting worse by the year.
If Du Ruhui found out that his son had committed a serious crime for murder, he probably wouldn't be able to take such a huge blow and would fall to the ground.
After all, Li Er had feelings for Du Ruhui.
Privately and professionally, he seemed to have to protect Du He this time.
But how could he help Du He get rid of suspicion?
The Cui family of Boling had many spies in the imperial court, and Cui Wangshan held an important position in the Imperial Censorate.
Therefore, it was very difficult for Li Er to use his imperial power to secretly clear Du He's suspicion.
'Perhaps Lin Ye has a way!'
Li Er thought of Lin Ye again.
Last time, Lin Ye easily solved the murder case in Weizhou, Henan Province.
He was good at solving cases. Perhaps he was also good at hiding traces of murder.
Hence, Li Er quickly walked over and whispered to Lin Ye,
"Brother Lin, this Du He is the son of a good friend of mine. I want to protect him.!”
"Brother Li, do you want me to help you cover up for the murderer? This is a serious crime. My wife has just gotten pregnant. I don't want to commit a crime at this time and go to prison, leaving her to bear all this alone.”
Lin Ye shook his head.
"Brother Lin, I guarantee that even if the matter is exposed, you will definitely not go to jail!”Li Er patted his chest.
Lin Ye still shook his head.
It was mainly because of Li Si's identity that Lin Ye was very suspicious.
Du He was the son of Prime Minister Du and had a noble status. However, just now, Du He kept kneeling and begging for mercy from Li Si.
It was as if Du He knew that even if he committed a serious crime of murder, Li Si had a way to protect him.
In this world, only Li Shimin, who ruled the entire Tang Empire, had the ability and surname Li.
But Lin Ye still couldn't believe that the fat middle-aged man in front of him was Li Shimin.
However, he already had this suspicion.
"Brother Lin, if you can help me protect Du He, I'll give you…I'll give you three thousand gold!”
Finally, Li Er used his trump card, the money ability.
"Deal!"
Lin Ye replied in a surprisingly straightforward manner,
In this era where investigation methods were so scarce, it was too easy for Lin Ye to hide the traces of murder.
The reason why Lin Ye didn't agree at first was to force Li Er to use his money ability.
Immediately, Lin Ye began to take action.
He first moved the corpse behind the rockery to prevent anyone from looking for the toilet.
"Now, the first thing we need to do is to deal with this corpse.”
Lin Ye said to Li Er,
"Moreover, we have to do it immediately. Otherwise, when Cui Wenyu's men come here to find him, they will definitely find a corpse behind the fake mountain.”
"Yes!"
Li Er nodded in agreement.
"But, how should we deal with it?" Li Er asked.
"If we carry it out, it'll be brightly lit outside and it'll be too easy to be discovered. If we bury it on the spot, the workload and commotion will be too great."
Lin Ye said,
"Why don't we just tie a heavy stone to the corpse and throw it into a small pond in the nearby garden?"
"After the matter is over, we'll think of a way to scoop it up and bury it elsewhere.”
When Li Er heard this, he could not help but admire Lin Ye.
At the critical moment, he could still clearly analyze the best way to deal with the corpse.
Li Er even suspected that Lin Ye was a serial killer with such rich experience.
"Alright, we'll do as you say!" Li Er agreed.
"As for you!"
Lin Ye turned to look at Du He.
"Later, help Miss Xue Xi back to the pavilion. Don't say anything to her. If she asks about Cui Wen Yu, just say that Cui Wen Yu has already left the Intoxicated Flower Pavilion and returned.”
"Good, good!" Du He nodded very seriously.
He had already entrusted his life to Lin Ye.
Although he didn't know who Lin Ye was or what kind of background he had, since even the Emperor believed him, he, Du He, had no reason not to believe him.
