Li Gongxu listened to the servant's report and opened the door to leave.
The butler was still kneeling on the ground, wiping the blood off his forehead with his hand. The joy of surviving a disaster could not be hidden on his face. He had lived in the Li family of Zhao County since he was born.
It could be said that his entire life was controlled by the Li family.
Even if he was killed by Li Gongxu here, no one would complain for him. After all, the master was dead, but the servant was not. This was a serious crime.
Li Gongxu walked to the mourning hall, where the deputy general stood.
No matter how displeased he was with Li Gongxu, his face revealed a sorrowful expression. A fool would not live long. To be able to get to the position of deputy general, he was very familiar with the technique of changing faces.
After the deputy general finished paying his respects, he looked at Li Gongxu and said respectfully,""Manager Li, I'm sorry for your loss. The general personally ordered me to pay my respects to Langjun.”
"Moreover, the general said that he would do his best to help you investigate this matter and not let the murderer escape.”
"It's just that he's currently busy with military matters and can't escape, so he asked me to come.”
Li Gongxu was the leader of the Zhao County Li family and also the center of power. He looked at the deputy general and said expressionlessly,"I understand what Changdong means."
"Tell him to prioritize military affairs."
The deputy swallowed his saliva and bowed with both hands."Then Manager Li, I will take my leave first.”
"The general also said that he has a mission.”
Li Gongxu's eyes fell on the deputy general. He knew that the butler's words were just a desperate attempt to bite someone before he died.
He wanted to seek a way out.
However, it was fine if he didn't hear it. After hearing it, Li Gongxu felt that the deputy general was more suspicious. It wasn't that the deputy general was a murderer.
He was thinking.
Although his son, Li Yifei, was a silkpants, he had his backing and was not short of money. Therefore, people in the county capital would give him some face.
Li Yifei wasn't stupid enough to offend some big shot.
Li Gongxu didn't think that these Persians who came from afar had the ability to sneak into the Li family's residence and kill people. He reckoned that before they could enter, they would be confused by the huge Li family residence.
Therefore, the murderer must be someone who was very familiar with the Li family. Perhaps he was a member of the Li family.
Li Yifei's death would definitely affect his decision. After all, he was his biological son. Who would benefit if his decision was affected?
A name naturally appeared in Li Gongxu's mind-Li Changdong.
The deputy general stood there and looked at Li Gongxu's eyes. His heart was beating fast.
Just when he thought that Li Gongxu was going to go crazy and deal with him, Li Gongxu took a step forward and patted his shoulder."Since you have military orders, you can go back first.”
"Remember to tell Changdong that I thank him for his kindness.”
The deputy nodded hurriedly and said with a flattering tone,"This general will definitely not forget."
The deputy general turned around and left.
Li Gongxu looked at his back as he left, and his eyes slowly turned cold. The people around him looked at him and instinctively felt a little afraid.
Li Gongxu turned around and returned to the study. His gaze fell on the butler who was kneeling on the ground."I thought about what you said just now.”
"Since the Li family is also a suspect, then you should check my Li family's residence.”
"I've found it. You can take revenge for Yifei and make up for your mistakes.”
"If you can't find it."
The butler was already prepared to die. It was not that he did not want to escape, but if he left, his entire family would die.
His wife and son would at most be implicated. The money he left behind could still allow them to live a good life.
But now, Li Gongxu actually gave him a way out. The butler hurriedly continued Li Gongxu's words and said,"Old Master, this old servant understands.”
"This old servant has gone mad. I will never implicate you.”
"I'll bring people to investigate now. I'll definitely avenge Langjun.”
Li Gongxu stood outside the door and slightly turned his body.
The butler hurriedly got up. Before he could move, he looked at the bloodstains on the ground and hurriedly wiped them clean with his clothes before crawling away.
Li Gongxu smelled the faint smell of blood in the room.
He didn't know why, but the smell that he hated the most in the past made his mind clearer.
The position of the family head.
How could there not be deaths under the drive of huge profits?
Li Gongxu closed the door of the study and began to deal with the size of the Li family.
However, the butler had brought a group of servants and guards whose heads were about to fall to the ground. They had crazily stirred up trouble in the county capital. If they were found out, they could still live.
If he couldn't find out, then he would die.
As for offending people?
Even so, he had to survive to offend people.
Everyone in the county capital was in danger. The commoners and merchants who were looking at them all retreated far away, not daring to offend them.
He was afraid of being implicated.
Li Yuan was sitting in a private room in the teahouse. He had changed his clothes and looked nothing like the businessman from yesterday.
On the contrary, a Confucian scholar who had read the classics and history books for many years glanced at everything outside the window and said indifferently,"If you want to destroy a person, you must first make them crazy.”
Lin Feng stood behind him and waited on him, temporarily replacing Eunuch Lin's position.
Lin Feng could not help but say,"Your Majesty, I have just received news that they are currently investigating the residence of the Li Family of Zhao County."”
"According to the current progress, we will soon find your residence.”
Li Yuan held the wine glass in his hand. His eyes were expressionless, and he did not speak.
After a long time.
Only then did he say," You can handle it yourself. The mansion is not bad. These two days, I like the fragrance of the gardenia in the garden."”
Lin Feng listened to the order and retreated silently.
Li Yuan told him to deal with it on his own, and he had no intention of leaving.
How should he handle it? Lin Feng was anxious but did not dare to ask. He finally understood that Eunuch Lin's actions were flawless in the past. It looked simple but it was actually very difficult to do.
Lin Feng left the room and closed the door.
He quietly walked out of the shadows, and a few Jinyiwei appeared in a flash and said,"Centurion Lin, does His Majesty have any orders? We have already prepared a place to stay.”
"We can transfer His Majesty's things first.”
"At that time, there is no need for Your Majesty to return to his previous residence.”
Lin Feng stood there. For some reason, he thought of what Eunuch Lin told him previously. Their authority was bestowed by His Majesty, and their lives were bestowed by His Majesty.
Li Yuan's orders had to be obeyed unconditionally.
As Lin Feng thought of this, his gaze became firm and he said,"What kind of status does His Majesty have? The five surnames and seven preeminent figures are all in his eyes. These stinky fish and rotten prawns appear and he wants His Majesty to change his residence?”
"Then, Your Majesty, what else do you want us to do?”
"The deputy commander is not here. Pass on my order. Kill all of them before they find out where His Majesty lives.”
The Embroidered Uniform Guards also had a hint of shame in their eyes.
Then, he nodded solemnly and said,"Centurion Lin, we understand. You should go back first and protect His Majesty in case anyone offends you.”
After Lin Feng gave the order, a problem that had been troubling him for a long time seemed to have been solved.
In the past, he had always followed Eunuch Lin's orders.
Now that he had given the order, he knew that as a Jinyiwei, he represented His Majesty.
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly and a thought suddenly appeared in his heart. He said,"After killing them, throw the corpses into the territory of the City Defense Army. It's best to kill a few more City Defense Army soldiers.”
"Since they are fighting each other, let them be more chaotic.”
"Remember, the place of action must be far away from the mansion, lest they investigate afterwards and disturb His Majesty's rest.”
