It is less than 500 meters from the inn to the county government office.

Liu Xia walked on the bumpy streets with his hands behind his back, looking at the patrolling officers and soldiers going back and forth around him, silent.

Liu Xia was not surprised to see such a result.

The chief envoys, the supervisory envoys, and the commanding envoys are the chief officials of the frontier. If such a problem occurs in Qiu County, they, as the chief officials of the frontier, must naturally bear the responsibility.

But Liu Xia also knew that even the Holy One would not kill these three people immediately. After all, killing them would cause chaos in Wuzhou and would only further worsen the current situation.[

It is a matter of common sense to find a scapegoat, stabilize the situation in Wuzhou first, wait until these gangs are wiped out, and then deal with the remaining two people.

Obviously, these frontier officials in Wuzhou were also very cooperative with Liu Xia.

There is a scapegoat, and it is already dead. This is a good thing, death will prove it.

However, dead people also have their value.

When Liu Xia walked to the yamen gate, he already had a simple plan in mind.

After entering the county government office, Song Qingming and Liu Hongtao stood in the lobby tremblingly. Liu Hongtao, in particular, was sweating on his forehead. I have to say that Liu Hongtao's acting skills were superb.

As for Song Qingming, he was born into a noble family and was very able to keep his composure, but compared to yesterday, he pretended to be a little more in awe of Liu Xia.

"Welcoming ministers, please see your lord. Your lord is a thousand years old and a thousand years old."

At that moment, these two people bowed to Liu Xia.

Liu Xia just waved his hand and looked towards the dead Fang Datong in the lobby.

At this moment, Fang Datong was covered with a clean white cloth and was lying on a stretcher.

Liu Xia knelt down and gently opened a corner of the white cloth, and saw Fang Datong, who was still staring at death with a pair of angry eyes and a ferocious look on his face.

"Senior, can you tell what kind of poison he was poisoned with?"

Liu Xia asked in her heart.

"If you read it correctly, it should be Jiulong Duoming Powder. This kind of poison can only be cultivated by great poison masters. It is equivalent to a seventh or eighth grade elixir. After taking it, it will remain hidden in the body.

As long as it is used as an introduction with another Huilongxiang, the poison will be released immediately. Do you smell a faint fragrance?"

"Smell it."

"This is the smell of Huilongxiang."

Ao Cangqiong explained.

Liu Xia couldn't help but sneer, I bet Fang Datong had already been regarded as a victim.[

It's a pity that this feudal official died like this.

"Master Fang seems to be so eager to die that he was able to find something like Jiulong Duoming Powder and poison himself. He is indeed a great official in the border area, and his death is different from others."

Liu Xia said calmly.

Song Qingming, who was standing on one side, couldn't help but be stunned. He knew that Liu Xia was an Onmyoji, but it took a quick glance to see that Fang Datong died under such poison.

I was secretly surprised. He was indeed a Tianwen-level Onmyoji, but at his age, he looked nothing like him.

"Your Majesty has a keen eye, but I didn't expect that Mr. Fang usually looks like an honest person, but I really didn't expect him to be so hateful."

Song Qingming said to add insult to injury at this time.

"Well, it is indeed hateful. How long has Master Fang been dead?"

Liu Xia was mid-sentence when the topic suddenly changed and he asked.

"Go back to your lord, it will take less than half an hour before we can talk."

Song Qingming said hurriedly.

"It's only half an hour? There is still hope. Dabao, immediately carry Mr. Fang back to the inn. I will detoxify Mr. Fang. He has committed so many crimes, so letting him go like this is too easy for him."

Liu Xia stood up slowly and said.

"What!"

Standing on one side, Liu Hongtao was obviously a little confused.

Even Song Qingming, who has always been sophisticated, was a little stunned.

Although I have heard of things like resurrection from the dead, this is a bit too sensational.

Fang Datong has been dead for half an hour, and there are no signs of life. If he still has a breath, forget it, but he has no breath. If he can be saved, Liu Xia will be a god.

"Your Majesty, is this possible?"

Liu Hongtao asked hurriedly.

"Of course, don't worry, you two, I will definitely save him, otherwise he will die like this, and you two will inevitably be criticized. Dabao, why are you standing still?"

When Liu Xia turned around, he saw Dabao also in a daze, obviously not believing what Liu Xia said.[

When he heard Liu Xia calling him, Dabao hurriedly called for people, carried the stretcher and walked out of the lobby.

"You two, please rest for a while. Mr. Fang will wake up in a while."

With that said, Liu Xia turned around and walked towards the lobby.

Song Qingming and Liu Hongtao naturally followed closely behind. They really didn't believe that such a thing would happen.

However, seeing Liu Xia's calm and confident look made the two of them even more uneasy.

So Song Qingming and Liu Hongtao followed Liu Xia back to the inn.

The inn has been surrounded by Tiger Guards and Royal Guards, making it impregnable.

Moreover, the Tiger Guards also built simple defenses outside the inn.

Song Qingming and Liu Hongtao both felt inexplicable fear of this cavalryman.

After entering the inn, Liu Xia asked Dabao to carry the body into his room, and then closed the door.

Song Qingming and Liu Hongtao were naturally turned away.

"Brother, what kind of trouble are you trying to make?"

Dabao lowered his voice and asked at this time. As the saying goes, death is like a lamp going out. He didn't believe that Liu Xia had such ability.

Wu Jianjun, who was standing on one side, naturally didn't believe it and looked at Liu Xia in surprise.

"Shh, keep your voice down. I can't save Fang Datong, don't worry about that."

Liu Xia then came to Fang Datong and smiled lightly.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Dabao asked puzzledly.

"Simple, dead people also have the value of death. Although I can't save Fang Datong, but I made a fake one, what will Song Qingming and Liu Hongtao think when the time comes?"

Liu Xia smiled lightly.

When Dabao heard this, he suddenly realized. He couldn't help but give Liu Xia a thumbs up and said: "High, really high!"

"The current situation is too unfavorable for us. It will take three days for the emperor's son to reach this point at the fastest. And even if the imperial edict comes, Song Qingming and Liu Hongtao will not be punished yet. After all, the scapegoat has been found. The emperor must

We need to quell the banditry first and stabilize the situation. But Song Qingming and Liu Hongtao are obviously wearing the same pair of trousers. They are so collaborating, and the bandits cannot be suppressed. If not, your life and mine will be involved."

Liu Xia analyzed.

"Then you want to use the dead Fang Datong to drive a wedge between the two of them?"

Dabao is naturally knowledgeable and well-informed.

"Yes, Qiu County has gotten to this point. As the feudal officials, they naturally colluded. However, these three people are not monolithic. The death of Fang Datong can explain everything. Song Qingming was born into a noble family, so he was afraid. But

Liu Hongtao was just born into a poor family. If Fang Datong came alive and told me about the invisible affairs between them, who would you be most afraid of?"

Liu Xia smiled lightly.

"It must be Liu Hongtao. After all, he doesn't have such a big backer as Song Qingming."

Wu Jiajun said.

"By the way, let's take advantage of this. Moreover, Liu Hongtao is in charge of Wuzhou's military encyclopedia. He has been operating in Wuzhou for many years. Presumably, the entire Wuzhou garrison is under his control. If we can instigate this person to join our side, it will be a big deal for us.

Stable purpose

According to the current situation, the smooth elimination of these bandits will play a decisive role. If he continues to collude with Song Qingming, we will be very passive. Therefore, we must win over Liu Hongtao. Isolate Song Qingming and defeat them one by one.

.”

Liu Xia said firmly.

"But, is our approach feasible?"

Dabao asked suspiciously.

After all, Fang Datong is already dead. If he pretends to be one, it will be troublesome if he is exposed.

"I have already thought about it. With Caiwei's disguise, it is possible to pretend to be Fang Datong. As for how to avoid being seen through by them, it is also very simple. Caiwei has the ability to read minds. Although Fang Datong is dead, but

Liu Hongtao and Song Qingming are both still alive. Only
