The tea method is even easier, which not only caused a stir in the outer court, but also in the palace.
Who doesn’t have a few relatives?
However, Li Jie has no intention to deal with the tea method for the time being, even though Zu Shiheng was nominated by him.
Now, he is more concerned about another thing.
Cai Qi’s assassination!
Sure enough, as soon as Cai Qi arrived in Shaanzhou, the tail who followed him all the way couldn't wait to take action.
According to the urgent news, there are more than one wave of people taking action.
To be precise, there are three waves of people, two in the open and one in the dark, and these three waves of people belong to two different camps.
The first group of people to take action have now been confirmed to be from Liu Mei's house.
After learning about this, Li Jie didn't know whether he should lament whether Liu Mei's son was brave or extremely stupid.
How dare you send someone to kill an official?
And there is no cover-up at all.
Except for this group of people, the other group of people who are following us openly and secretly are all from the same party.
Compared with the group of people sent by Liu Mei's mansion, these two groups of people are much more professional.
Even though they were punished, these two groups still gritted their teeth and did not reveal any information.
However, they didn't say anything about returning home.
Who sent it is already known.
Besides Liu E, who was in charge of the government, who could make them deny it even to death?
In fact, if it weren't for a few extra people in Liu Mei's house, Cai Qi would probably be a corpse.
Even though Li Jie sent someone to follow Cai Qi, professional and amateur are completely different things.
It was precisely because of the people in Liu Mei's house who disrupted the situation that the people sent by Li Jie were able to rescue Cai Qi in time.
In the Funing Hall, after Zhang Mao reported the news from Shaanzhou, he stood aside respectfully, quietly waiting for the official's decision.
Assassinating a minister is a serious crime, and Cai Qi was one of the directors of Yushitai before. Even though he was demoted, Cai Qi's rank is still there.
Once this matter is exposed, even relatives of the Queen Mother may not be able to block the surging wave of public opinion.
At this moment, Zhang Maoze was very confused.
Why haven't officials made a decision yet?
Isn't it obvious what to do?
As long as those thieves are sent back to the capital and the matter is exposed, the Liu family will definitely be ridiculed by the civil servants.
As for what consequences the Liu family will face, the person in charge must at least reduce his position to serve the people.
This is definitely a good opportunity to attack the Queen Mother!
After all, the Liu family is a relative of the Queen Mother.
However, Li Jie had no intention of exposing the matter directly.
When were nuclear weapons most powerful as a deterrent?
When the launch button is not pressed!
Once the button is pressed, a devastating blow is inevitable.
However, the power of nuclear weapons is still limited. If the enemy is vast, how can a single nuclear strike wipe out all the forces?
This is the situation Li Jie is facing now. The power in Liu E's hands is more than what is shown on the surface.
Exposing this matter may make her embarrassed, but it will definitely not be able to cut off all her followers at once.
If the fish dies, the net will not necessarily break. This is the truth.
Rather than making the city full of trouble and failing to achieve the goal, it is better to suppress the matter for the time being. Anyway, those three groups of people are in his hands.
As long as people are there, the initiative is in their own hands.
Li Jie prefers to be active rather than passive.
The best state is to advance to attack and retreat to defend.
"Send a message and keep the prisoner secretly. Those who are injured must be healed as much as possible. Don't let the prisoner die."
"In addition, the place of detention needs to be kept secret, and there must be enough guards."
"You will personally summon Lei Yungong on this matter."
Hearing this, Zhang Mao was very puzzled. However, he was puzzled and he still did not dare to make any compromises in executing the order.
There must be a profound meaning in the official's order. He didn't understand it just because he was too stupid.
That evening, before the palace doors were locked, Zhang Mao left the palace alone in the name of visiting relatives.
The next day, he disguised himself and rushed to Yong'an County quietly, and then contacted Lei Yungong through special channels.
At noon, Zhang Maoze met Lei Yungong near a barren mountain on the outskirts of the city.
"But there is a call from the official family?"
When he saw Zhang Maoze, Lei Yungong asked straight to the point without being polite.
Generally speaking, when most people meet the servants of an official family, they will definitely do something superficial.
After all, there are still seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister.
No one knows what day the emperor's servants will rise to great heights.
But Lei Yungong and Zhang Maoze have a special relationship, and Zhang Maoze is Lei Yungong's person.
In addition, Lei Yungong was not only promoted because of the incident of water leaking from the imperial mausoleum, but also gained the friendship of several eunuch leaders.
Therefore, he has been somewhat inflated recently, especially in front of Zhang Maoze, and his inflatedness has not been concealed at all.
"There is news from Shaanzhou."
Although it was uncomfortable to be ignored, Zhang Mao often followed Li Jie and learned something himself.
For example, joy and anger cannot be expressed in color.
Therefore, Zhang Maoze still looked respectful.
"The officials have issued instructions. The prisoner will be of great use in the future. The safety of the prisoner must be ensured, and the prisoner must be guarded secretly and properly."
"The official sage!"
Upon hearing this, Lei Yun bowed respectfully in the direction of the imperial city.
Even if he and Zhang Maoze were the only two people present, it would not prevent him from showing his loyalty to the officials.
Certain things have long been engraved in Lei Yungong's bones.
Zhang Mao didn't understand Li Jie's profound meaning. It didn't mean that Lei Yungong didn't understand. It was precisely because he understood that Lei Yungong admired him so much.
Being able to give up the benefits that are readily available to you is very rewarding.
The official is only thirteen years old, and he has such wisdom that he is with the right person!
Thinking of this, Lei Yungong suddenly felt very lucky that he had switched to the government so early.
Immediately afterwards, he felt a little proud again.
The group of people above him are still kept in the dark and have no idea that the real dragon is about to take off and rule the world.
On the other side, Zhang Mao saw Lei Yungong holding his hands and worshiping, and he exclaimed in his heart that he had learned something again.
No wonder Lei Abban is able to hold a high position at such a young age. In terms of his heart, others may not be able to match him.

Liu Mansion.
Liu Congguang has been quite restless in recent days. It has been more than two months, almost three months, and the people he sent have not returned yet.
Not only did the person not come back, but not even a message was sent back.
Wasn't there an accident?
Every time he thought of this possibility, Liu Congguang couldn't help but feel a little worried.
However, what he was worried about was not that the matter would be exposed.
who is he?
The Queen Mother’s nephew!
Who dares to touch him?
What worries him is that he won't be able to kill Cai Qi in one go.
If Cai Qi fails to succeed this time, he may not be able to succeed next time if he is prepared.
