"To be precise, Li Bihuai committed suicide by taking poison, but it was also indirectly caused by Zhan Beihan and me."

Xiao Lingyue simply told about what happened last night.

King Xiang's face was numb when he heard this: "So, the Li Bihuai who died now is fake, but is actually a dead soldier from Nanyan. You and your third brother suspected that there was a problem with the Nanyan caravan where you lived in Li's house, so, My third brother took advantage of the fact that I was arrested in prison and asked Mr. Chen to come forward and take over the county magistrate's office?"

Xiao Lingyue nodded: "It's basically true."

King Xiang couldn't help but sigh: "What's this?"

It turns out that during the period when he was imprisoned in prison, neither of them was idle and so much had happened.

"If I had known that I would have done the job with my third brother, it would have been not a cheap job, but this was too complicated. Even the dead soldiers from Nanyan came out."

King Xiang sighed and murmured: "The dead soldier disguised himself as a court official. If this news is transmitted back, everyone in the court will be in danger."

Although Yuanmu Town is just a remote town, the official position of the eighth-rank county magistrate is incomparable to the officials in the capital.

But Li Bihuai was appointed as an official in the court after all, and his official position was also appointed by the Ministry of Personnel.

Now even the imperial court officials can be faked, but they are replaced by the Nanyan Dead God without knowing it. They have been pretending to be faked for countless years and have not been discovered.

Once this matter spreads, I am afraid that the ministers will be shocked and it will be difficult for officials in other parts of the Northern Qin Dynasty to trust them.

If you are not careful, you still don’t know how many things will happen.

Xiao Lingyue comforted: "Your Highness Xiang, the matter is not as serious as you think. Li Bihuai was replaced by someone, which should be just an isolated case. Human skin/masks are not easily obtained. What's more, I want to disguise another person for a long time, Body shape, voice, and daily habits all require a long time of training and imitation, and it is impossible to replace them on a large scale."

If it is so easy to impersonate oneself, there is no need to fight among the seven countries.

Each of them has their own spies to compare who has better acting skills.

Xiao Lingyue said calmly: "The reason why Li Bihuai was impersonated for so many years is that he has a small official position and is not a native of Zhumu Town. There are not many people who know him; the second is that although Zhumu Town is remote, it is close to him. The imperial tomb is of value to Nanyan, so as the county magistrate, he became a victim."

The smuggling of iron ore in Hulang Mountain was originally related to Nanyan. From the bandit village to the assassination of Xiangguo Temple, every piece pointed to Nanyan.

The smuggling route of the iron ore points to the imperial tomb.

The town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is a very important position on the smuggling route of iron ore.

That's why Nanyan made trouble in the county government of Yuanmu Town and even sent a dead soldier to replace the real county magistrate. This is not difficult to understand.

But apart from Log Town, other small towns in Beiqin do not have such value.

Therefore, Nanyan will not be interested in other places.

King Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "The third brother is not seen yet, and the other two people in the Ministry of Revenue are gone. What should we do now?"

Xiao Lingyue asked, "Did he really tell you nothing?"

King Xiang sighed: "Really, why am I lying to you?"

Then he said, "It's probably because my third brother thinks that I'm not reliable in doing things. If I get involved, I will only cause trouble, so I just stay in prison to avoid causing trouble."

Xiao Lingyue's mouth twitched slightly: "You are very self-aware."

King Xiang laughed dryly: "After that being said, since Minister Chen follows the orders of his third brother, we don't have to get involved, right? You can stay here and wait for news."

Xiao Lingyue thought for a moment and nodded: "It's better for you to stay here, the county magistrate's yamen is at least safer than other places. I have to go to Li's house to guard. Nanyan's caravan was suddenly detained, and there must be action."

King Xiang was puzzled: "The third brother should have considered this. He asked Mr. Chen to take over the county government and would definitely send someone to stare at Li's house. You don't have to rush over, right? If you two conflict in action, It will be bad things."
