As a victim, He Lingchuan certainly has the right to ask questions. He is not a suspect and does not need to prove the motive of the murder.
King Yao summoned him to the palace, asking for some details and comparing them with the information Zhao Song had. Finally, he found that there were no discrepancies, so he comforted him with a few words.
Seeing that he didn't mention Qingyang at all, He Lingchuan coughed lightly and said: "Your Majesty, the eastward expansion project of the capital is on the right track. Lord You and the fourth prince can completely take over, and I can resign and say goodbye."
King Yao was shocked and displeased: "Tianshui's eastward expansion has not reached four months, and you want to be the boss? He Xiao, that's not what you promised me at the beginning."
When he said this, he felt a little sad in his heart. There were so many civil and military officials in the Yao court, but they couldn't find anyone who could replace He Xiao!
As long as there are one or two people who can take care of you, why would he be so passive?
He Xiao has been so popular in Tianshui City in the past few months that even Bai Ziqi, the envoy of the Tiangong Duyun, asked for a salary for him, although the monthly salary approved by King Yao was only a mere five hundred taels.
Yao Ting officials also rushed to curry favor with He Xiao, who didn't know how much benefit he got. King Yao alone knew that the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce suddenly had more than 2,500 business orders.
It has only been half a year since a foreign businessman first arrived in Tianshui City, but his business has been so big? Isn't it because the power given to him by King Yao can be realized?
On the other hand, He Xiao has made a lot of money in Tianshui City, but now that he has not finished his work, he wants to leave with a wave of his sleeves?
He Lingchuan looked helpless: "I also hope that there will be a beginning and an end, but there are people who are determined to take my life. I am really worried about staying in Tianshui City. It is unlucky for me to find a Cao Wendao. If there is another one, and the next one, say
Maybe I will follow in the footsteps of my superior Situ He."
King Yao indeed sent 900 elite soldiers to protect him, but wasn't Situ He also on his side at the beginning? He still couldn't escape Cao Wendao's plot.
"There can be no place safer than Tianshui City in the Shining Gold Plains." King Yao said proudly, "If you can't escape assassination here, you will be dead if you go to other places."
He Lingchuan smiled bitterly.
King Yao softened his tone and said: "Put your heart back in your stomach. I will provide you with extra security to ensure that you are safe in Tianshui City!"
He Lingchuan had no choice but to thank him, because King Yao still had unspoken subtext:
Don't be ignorant, don't toast and eat as a penalty.
He was a popular figure in front of King Yao. Usually Qiu Long would take him to the gate of Yuquan Palace, but this time he accompanied him three hundred feet to the gate of Chunhua Palace.
"It's cold and the road is slippery. Master Qiu, please stop." He Lingchuan said politely, as if reaching out to help the old palace lady, he blocked it with his sleeve and secretly stuffed a small box into her.
Qiu Long was very familiar with this set of actions, so he took it calmly, but felt a slight coldness on the bottom of his hands.
