In the garden of the Governor's Mansion, Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang, and Yuan Ji were strolling.
"Milord, Youzhou is back on track.
Why are you still frowning?"
Li Yuanfang, who was beside Di Renjie, couldn't help but ask.
Shaking his head, he said,"The water in Youzhou is still very turbid."
There are still hidden secrets waiting for us to uncover!”
"What do you mean?" Yuan Ji looked at Di Renjie "curiously".
"Sit!" In the pavilion, Fatty Di let the two of them sit down and said,"
"Yuan Ji, Yuan Fang, let me ask you.
What do you think of Fang Qian? What about talent? How is his character?"
"At most, he's just a middle-aged man!" Yuan Ji commented lightly.
Looking at Li Yuan Fang, Yuan Fang was also somewhat disdainful.
"From the time he swallowed the consolation money, bullied the people, and slaughtered the living,
One could tell that this was a vicious and greedy person!”
"Right!" Di Renjie nodded and asked,"
"What kind of virtue and ability does such a person have to act recklessly?
He could also control the vast Youzhou Province from the city to the counties.
Most of the officials were attached to him. Do you think that he is capable?
Can you subdue Zhang Yong, Hu Jinbao and other domineering generals and use them as pigs and dogs?”
"I'm afraid not!" Li Yuan Fang shook her head.
"Also, Youzhou is in such chaos.
And why did it take so long to reach the imperial court?
Yet the Imperial Court had not received any news or reports that were unfavorable to Fang Qian?
It was impossible for Fang Qian alone to stop the news!”
Di Renjie's old face was solemn as he said with certainty,"
"Obviously, there is a powerful force behind Fang Qian.
They controlled Youzhou, and Fang Qian was just a puppet they placed on the surface!”
Hearing Di Renjie's explanation, Li Yuanfang's expression changed.
Yuan Ji, on the other hand, was calm. He looked at Di Renjie and said,"
"Then Fang Qian's death was probably to silence him?”
"It's very possible!"
"And the appearance of those assassins last night is the best evidence.
Such fearless death warriors were definitely not something that ordinary forces could nurture!”
"I thought their target was me," Di Renjie said lightly.
However, Li Er's death had exposed their true target!”
"All of this proves that our true opponent is still hiding in the dark!”
"The real target? You mean…
Li Er was their real target!”Li Yuan Fang could not help but be surprised.
Nodding, Di Renjie said thoughtfully,"
"Li Er should be their target, and I…"
Li Yuanfang seemed to have thought of something and looked at Di Renjie solemnly.
"Milord, the faction hidden in the dark…
Could he be the mastermind behind the diplomatic mission case?
Those assassins were sent by them?”
"But why did they dare to assassinate you?
As you said before, their identities have been confirmed. Wouldn't their actions expose their whereabouts?”
Li Yuan Fang's heart was filled with questions.
"Also, they intercepted and killed the diplomatic mission in Gan Liang.
What was the connection between controlling Youzhou in Hebei?”
"Perhaps something has changed. Perhaps it's because of Li Er!”Di Renjie replied.
"Milord, is Li Er's identity really that important?”
Hearing this, Di Renjie and Yuan Ji looked at each other.
Seeing Li Yuan Fang's expression of having a headache,
Di Renjie chuckled and comforted,"
"Yuanfang, don't be anxious! The more complicated the situation was, the more complicated it was.
The less anxious we are, the closer we might be to the truth!
As long as they were traced, they would be exposed!”
With an embarrassed smile, Li Yuanfang said to Di Renjie,"
"This subordinate was too impatient."
"Milord, they're not trying to rebel by taking control of Youzhou, are they?”
Yuan Ji frowned and thought for a long time before he finally voiced out his guess.
"Using the power of a prefecture to resist the Imperial Court is the path to death.
Five years ago, the King of Yue and his son had already proven that this was like throwing an egg at a rock.
With the cunning of the person in the dark, he would definitely understand the logic behind it!”
Di Renjie waved his hand and suddenly paused."Unless…"
Di Renjie seemed to have thought of something and frowned.
"What did you think of?" Li Yuan Fang hurriedly asked.
Di Renjie shook his head and said slowly,"
"No matter what their purpose is, we can be sure now.
There must be a great conspiracy brewing in Youzhou Province.
And it must be related to the diplomatic mission case!"
"Then what should we do now?"
Sensing the seriousness of the problem, Li Yuanfang looked at Fatty Di expectantly.
"Do you still remember what I said before? The villagers of the Willow Tree are rioting.
The reason why Little Lianzi Mountain was sealed was also because of that ghost town!
Now that one of them had been dealt with, there must be some secret hidden in the Little Lianzi Mountain.
Now that I've given the order to lift the mountain seal, what will the opponent do?”
"We'll take down Fang Qian and eradicate his military and political forces in Youzhou.
This was definitely something the other party did not expect!”
Di Renjie stroked his beard and said with a cunning look,"
"Now, we just have to wait for their actions!”
Seeing Fatty Di's confident expression, Li Yuanfang relaxed."
"So Daren already had a plan in mind!”
"The assassin from last night…"
Hearing Fatty Di's muttering, Yuan Ji asked,"
"What else did you find wrong?”Yuan Ji couldn't help but be concerned about the assassin.
"The Governor's Mansion is not small, and there are many houses.
Those assassins were too relaxed, and it was too easy for them to find Li Er and me!
When they retreated, it was too fast.
He was very familiar with the situation in the Governor's Office!”
At first, she was stunned. Then, after understanding what was going on, Li Yuanfang widened her eyes.
"Sir, you mean…"
" I can't say…I can't say…" He stopped Li Yuanfang pretentiously.
Yuan Ji, who was standing at the side, sighed inwardly. He was indeed the sly old fox Di.
He was already suspecting that there was a spy by his side, but he didn't know if he was suspecting Hu Jinghui.
It seemed that this matter could be blamed on me.
Yuan Ji thought for a moment, why did he have to give it to him?
Hu Jinghui was definitely the one who provided Li Qing Xia with the information about the residence.
"The accent of those assassins doesn't seem to be from Hebei…"
Fatty Di casually added.
