Chapter 840: Be cautious and cautious
Standing at the door of the Wu family's main room, Li Wei looked at Wu Jianxing's corpse on the ground, his eyes full of worry.
After receiving Jiao Furong's notice, Li Wei didn't dare to delay for a moment, and directly left the banquet set up for him by several wealthy families, and his departure was a loss of nearly 1,000 taels of silver.
The killing of a hundred households is already a big deal, and it is also Wu Jianxing, the new hundred households.
How did Wu Jianxing get these 100 households? Levi knew it even more in his heart.
The two parties in the court have their own tricks, and the Yellow Party's call for rewarding meritorious officials has closed the case, and only then has Wu Jianxing and several people promoted.
But Wu Jianxing was assassinated and died on the day of his promotion, so who was the person who did it? This is very reminiscent of the Qin Party's attack.
Therefore, this is by no means an ordinary case, but a continuation of the political struggle in the court, and Li Wei must deal with it with a spirit of 12 points.
He doesn't have any backstage in Beizhen Fusi now, and if this matter is not handled well, the ship may capsize.
Thinking of this, Li Wei couldn't help but scold Jiao Furong half to death in his heart, this guy knew to make trouble for him.
At this moment, the surroundings of the Wu family are busy, and the captains are carefully searching, hoping to find some useful clues in the Wu family.
Not only that, but Jiao Furong also sent school captains to interrogate the eight families that were close to the Wu family, in order to restore the process of Wu Jianxing's killing.
But in fact, all of this is not too important for Li Wei and Jiao Furong.
What they are most concerned about now is whether this case should be strictly investigated, or whether it can be strictly investigated!
If they really want to find out the court officials, and then drag Jinyiwei into the party struggle, I am afraid that the two of them will not even be able to save their lives.
In this matter, we have to let the big guy above make a decision, and in comparison, the progress of the investigation at the moment does not matter.
Although someone had already been sent outside the city to report to Chen Xiaoting, the longer it dragged on at this time, the worse it might be, so at this moment, Li Wei wanted to bypass Chen Xiaoting.
After all, Jin Yiwei didn't know that Chen Xiaoting was a commander, as well as Lu Yunsi and Wang Ruolin, the conductor.
I've been waiting for an hour, and I don't know if Chen Xiaoting can come back before dark, so Li Wei is a little uneasy.
"Immediately, send someone to inform the Lord of the Suppression Division of this matter!" Levi ordered.
However, Levi, who has the highest status here, has been questioned!
"Slow ......"
Li Wei couldn't help but look at Jiao Furong, his eyes were cold: "Jiao Furong, you are presumptuous, how dare you commit a crime?" ”
Being confronted by his direct subordinates made Li Wei furious, if it weren't for Jiao Furong having a backstage, he would never have spared his slap at this moment.
"My lord, listen to the humble one!" Jiao Furong's expression was serious, and he was not frightened by Li Wei's anger.
"Say!" The word Levi was squeezed out between his teeth.
After retreating, Jiao Furong said in a deep voice: "My lord, Lord Chen is not here, if you report this matter directly to Beizhen Fusi, it will be the way to die!" ”
Jiao Furong said this very directly, and he had no reverence for Li Wei, his boss, but he couldn't make Li Wei angry.
"You must know how serious this case is, so you think it is ...... Or wait for Lord Chen's order, and we will do what he tells us to do! ”
Speaking of this, Jiao Furong deliberately reminded: "With so many people watching, we must be self-asserted!" ”
This is almost to tell Li Wei directly, if you kid dares to mess around, you will definitely not be able to rely on it at that time, and you will inevitably be liquidated by Chen Xiaoting.
I have to say that Jiao Furong's words Li Wei listened to them. It is only when he is in a hurry to go to the doctor that he will commit such a taboo.
He was not trusted by Chen Xiaoting, and it would be strange if he made such a defection at this critical moment, and he would not be killed by Chen Xiaoting.
Li Wei never dared to despise the methods of this Lord Chen!
"Good...... Let's keep waiting! Levi spoke in a low tone, and then spoke: "Let the people below block the news, and don't let the situation here spread!" ”
Jiao Furong had a smile on his face and replied, "Obey!" ”
It's cool to have a backer, what about Shangguan? It's not like it's scared...... Jiao Furong said secretly in his heart.
So they waited, and after sealing off the alley, outsiders had no way of knowing what was going on inside.
Nearly two hours had passed, and now the sun had set in the west, and Levi himself was already tired.
At this time, the bodies of Wu Jianxing and Qin Yichuan had been collected, and Sun Liang was sitting next to the bodies of the two brothers at the moment.
As if no one was around, Sun Liang muttered: "Big brother, you have worked hard for most of your life to change into such a hundred official uniforms, and you only wore it for one day today...... Go! ”
"Your life is miserable!" Sun Liang looked up at the sky, so that the tears would not flow out.
At this time, Lu Wenzhao came to Sun Liang's side and looked at the two corpses on the ground, and his heart was also mixed.
He was complacent about raising the general flag before, but Wu Jianxing hadn't been killed by someone for a hundred households, so what was the general flag?
"If you don't want to die like this, you have to change your life!" Lu Wenzhao muttered.
Sun Liang looked up at Lu Wenzhao, only to hear the latter say: "In the future, we two brothers will have to help each other!" ”
Hearing Lu Wenzhao's words, Sun Liang heard the sound of horses' hooves outside before he could answer.
At this time, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and there must have been news arrived, so Li Wei and Jiao Furong both rushed to the gate of the Wu family.
When the two of them came to the gate, they saw Yang Kai holding the reins and scanning the scene at the same time.
"My lord asks you, what have you found?" Yang Kai asked directly.
His questioning was equivalent to Chen Xiaoting asking in person, so Li Wei replied very cautiously: "We have not found anything yet, we have begun to screen the surrounding residents and carefully look for clues......
Li Wei is worthy of being a person who has been a deputy to a thousand households, and in just three words, he told the scene to the side.
"Your Excellency has an order, you must block the news, and no one is allowed to leave without permission until you get the order!" Yang Kai's tone was stern, which was requested by Chen Xiaoting.
"Yes!" Levi and the others hurriedly replied, glad that their arrangement was correct.
After the two of them answered, Yang Kai immediately turned his horse around and left, and he had to hurry back to explain the situation to Chen Xiaoting.
At this moment, Chen Xiaoting had already rushed back to Beizhen Fusi, and was sitting in the lobby of the East Department with a black face.
After receiving the news from Li Wei, he couldn't sit still, and rushed to the capital with people without stopping.
From the known information, Chen Xiaoting already learned that Wu Jianxing and Qin Yichuan were killed.
Knowing this most important point, he didn't need to rush to the scene anymore, because he had more important things to do.
Li Wei can figure out the problem, Chen Xiaoting is naturally clear in his heart, so at this moment he also suspects that it was the Qin Party's hand.
But at the same time, Chen Xiaoting also knew that this argument was likely to be untenable, because there was no need for the Qin party to do such a desperate thing.
They opposed the closure of the case, and if they wanted to express their own wishes, they could have asked the emperor to reject the order of the celebrant and take back all the rewards of Wu Jianxing and his cadres.
The direct killing of a hundred households in this way is a direct provocation to the imperial power, and it can be said that it has broken the long-standing political balance.
At this moment, Chen Xiaoting is wondering, is the dispute between the two parties out of control? Or was the emperor himself unable to suppress the big picture? Or is the second assistant Qin Yanwen confused?
Of course, it is possible that it was the black hand of the Yellow Party, which was used to frame the Qin Party and then get rid of it by the emperor.
In addition to these four explanations, Chen Xiaoting really couldn't imagine that there would be other possibilities.
But the above four possibilities are not realistic strictly speaking.
This kind of game between the highest powers is about taking things step by step and drawing slowly...... There could not have been such a big earthquake.
Therefore, the party struggle is still controllable, the emperor is still in charge of the overall situation, and Huang Yucheng and Qin Yanwen are not old and confused.
So...... What's really going on?
"This matter can only be handed over to the emperor, and then he will decide how to deal with it!" Chen Xiaoting muttered.
In such a big matter, he also cannot make an assertion, and must push the choice to the emperor.
The emperor said that if it is strictly investigated, it will be strictly investigated, and the emperor said that if the truth is what's going on, then the truth is what's going on.
So, Chen Xiaoting picked up the pen and began to write down today's situation, and then ordered someone to send it to the palace.
In fact, it is best to report this kind of thing to the emperor in person, but Chen Xiaoting was not summoned, and it was basically in vain to take the initiative to attack.
He only hoped that the emperor would see this statement of the situation sooner and then send his approval sooner.
