97, the crisis strikes, Zhao Wang reveals his murderous intention(1/2)
Li Jian made a big alarm in his heart, put down the information in his hand, and looked up at Mao Sui.
"Can you find out who it is?"
No rumors can be aimless.
Mao Sui was able to solemnly deliver this rumor to Li Jian’s desk as intelligence, which shows that the rumor has fermented to a certain extent in Handan City.
Mao Sui shook his head and said:
"This time, the people who spread rumors were quite clever. Our people secretly investigated for two days, but found no clues. Instead, the rumors became more and more rampant."
Li Jian's expression became more serious.
"Have you found other forces from the ministers or the kings involved?"
Mao Sui thought about it and said:
"The rangers under Pingyuan Jun must have noticed this news, but they did not take any action."
"As for whether other ministers or lords are involved, ministers and others may need further investigation."
When Li Jian heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but he did not scold Mao Sui.
After all, the owl is just an organization that has just been established and is far from reaching the point where it can be omnipresent in Handan City.
Li Jian pondered for a moment and said:
"I'll send some people from the government office to catch a few people who deliberately spread rumors, but remember not to use this crime."
Mao Sui immediately understood and said:
"I'll do it right now."
Soon, something happened in Handan City.
It was the hotel, and the tavern was filled with diners, among which the number of Rangers was the most, and the sound was the loudest.
A strong man with bearded drinking was so excited that he was boasting to his companions at his deskmates.
"I am in a good mood today, so I'll tell you a secret."
"Actually, there is someone else who poisoned the Queen Mother!"
His companions were stunned when they heard this, and then someone sneered:
"Okay, isn't it the king? This matter was said to be bad in the morning, and Lou Changdu, the culprit, caught it."
"That's right, did you just wake up after two months of sleep? You're still taking this old thing?"
Faced with the teasing of his companions, the bearded man was furious and slapped the table.
"You know nothing. It's not Lou Chang who really slanders the king, but someone else!"
When the bearded companions heard this, they immediately showed curious expressions.
"who?"
"Speak and listen."
With the attention of his companions, the bearded man suddenly became happy and spoke with a smile.
"Then I will tell you, in fact, the real messenger behind the scenes is Li Jian, the newly appointed Handan Order!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was suddenly in an uproar.
"Doctor Li Jian?"
"It's impossible. Didn't it mean that Dr. Li Jian cracked the rumor case and brought Lou Chang to justice?"
The bearded man suddenly showed a disdainful expression:
"What do you know? This is called thief calling for thieves!"
"In fact, Doctor Lou Chang was framed and died, and Li Jian was behind this."
"I'll ask you, Lou Chang is the governor, isn't Li Jian?"
"Lou Chang can spread rumors about the king, and Li Jian can even do better!"
The bearded man did this and explained the story in detail, and it seemed that he had really witnessed the rumor case with his own eyes.
Not only were the companions at the table, but even the others in the tavern all quieted down, listening to the bearded man telling him.
If Li Jian or Mao Sui were here, they could hear that the words of this bearded man were actually true!
The bearded man said the case in this way, and then sighed:
"Now you know? Lou Chang is just a scapegoat, helping Dr. Li Jian take the blame."
"Piansheng Lou Chang really has a connection with Qin State, so he couldn't get rid of the bad guy after he was put on the blame, so he could only be executed by the king."
"It's just that there are so many people in the Lou family. They are dead and those who are sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent to be sent
When everyone heard this, their minds couldn't help but float.
After a moment, someone spoke:
"I thought Dr. Li Jian was a young and promising person, but I didn't expect that he was such a deep-minded person."
"Doctor Lou Chang died so miserably. Is the struggle between big shots so cruel?"
"Two doctors are nothing big shots. Big guys are not that valuable! But then again, if Li Jian is the one who spreads rumors about the king, then if the king knows this news, wouldn't he have to take Li Jian into surgery?"
Everyone was talking about it, and the bearded man became the focus, and was sitting by everyone just to continue listening to his story.
The bearded man laughed and said:
"Actually, I want to..."
With a bang, the tavern gate was kicked open.
A group of Handan government runners rushed in and instantly surrounded the bearded man.
"Ropi, the day before yesterday, someone died, and now I will go with us immediately!"
The bearded man showed a shocked expression and shouted angrily:
"It's just nonsense. I've been at home all these days. When did I fight with others?"
The yamen runners held Luo Pi away regardless of the situation.
When the others saw it, they immediately refused to follow it.
"I'm beating people, the government's people are beating people!"
"Hurry up, rescue Luo Xiashi and can't let them take them away!"
The scene was in chaos.
Some ranger wanted to save people in the chaos, but was defeated by the yamen runners who had prepared a lot and took them away together.
After a while, the messy tavern gradually returned to peace.
Several eyes mixed in the tavern, seeing all this clearly.
This scene was staged in many places in Handan City that day.
In the evening, Mao Sui appeared in front of Li Jian with a little tired expression.
"I just finished interrogating all the captured people. These people said that the rumors spread were heard."
"As for whom I heard, I have a list of twenty-one people here, and I plan to continue to investigate next."
Looking at the list presented by Mao Sui, Li Jian fell into deep thought.
This list of twenty-one people is very complicated, including brothel women, ordinary businessmen, and even minor officials of the government. It can be said that they are all-round.
But this is also the trouble. How could so many people who seem to be irrelevant spread rumors about Li Jian at the same time?
If we follow this list, can we really find the source of the rumors?
Li Jian breathed a sigh of relief and said to Mao Sui:
"You will continue to investigate for the time being."
"By the way, I'll send someone to Pingyuan Jun's mansion to submit a visit, and I'll say I'll visit Pingyuan Jun tomorrow."
The next day, in front of Pingyuan Jun’s Mansion.
A manager stood in front of Li Jian, smiling slightly and said in an extremely polite tone:
"Doctor Li came unfortunately. Today, my lord went out and said he wanted to take a few days off in the villa outside the city."
Li Jian's face moved slightly and asked:
"Which other courtyard can you tell me the detailed address? I have something important to you?"
The laughter of the manager became louder and louder:
"The doctor is making things difficult for me. I am just an ordinary guardian. How can I know where my lord is going?"
Li Jian was silent for a moment and returned to his carriage.
Watching the carriage slowly leave, the corner of the manager's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.
