The group of people who were imprisoned roared in horror when they heard the sound.
"You...you are a liar, why did you lie to us?"
"Ah...why?"
"Beasts, you are all a bunch of beasts!"
However, people outside have no mercy.
More than ten people bent their bows and shot arrows, and one cold arrow after another penetrated their fragile bodies.
Soon, a strong smell of blood filled the dungeon.
Liu Xi pinched his nose and said, "It stinks so much. Dispose of these corpses as soon as possible!"
"yes!"
Soon, Liu Xi returned to the capital and quickly entered the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
In the study room, Liu Zhong was closing his eyes to relax at this time.
He was interrupted by Liu Xi who came back suddenly.
"master……"
"Come in!" Liu Zhong said slowly and deeply.
"It's...Master!"
In front of Liu Zhong, Liu Xi looked shabby, took out the list that had been collected in the dungeon, and handed it over carefully with both hands, "Master, everything is settled!"
Liu Zhong glanced sideways at Liu Xi, took it and unfolded it, "There is no one left alive!"
"Sir, there is no one alive, you can rest assured!"
Liu Xi smiled obscenely.
Liu Zhong took a look at the list. There were thirty or forty names, and the handwriting was different. They were stamped, and only the final filling was left. He nodded with satisfaction, "Well done... you will draft a confession immediately and copy it."
Copy it, and if the little emperor presses you again, I will hand this confession to him!"
This confession, of course, refers to the crime at the East Village construction site.
Those who died tonight are just scapegoats.
They are all dead, and there is no evidence... Naturally, the emperor is suspicious, and it is impossible to continue to dig deeper and investigate!
Liu Xi nodded, "Master, I'll write it right away!"
Just like that, in a short while, I wrote a confession
In the voice of a dead man, he admitted to forming a clique and conspiring to destroy the construction site.
After Liu Zhong finished reading, he was not very satisfied and said calmly: "The writing is not bad, but I always feel that there are some shortcomings!"
Liu Xi frowned, thoughtfully, "What is missing?"
"Think carefully about what you are missing!"
"Is there a mastermind behind this?" Liu Xi asked thoughtfully.
This sound clicked through to Liu Zhong, and instantly a long-lost smile appeared on Liu Zhong's face.
"Xizi, I have trained you all these years in vain!"
"That's right, I'll do as you say!"
"Okay, sir..." Immediately afterwards, Liu Xi added another paragraph, or a confession, saying that the person who instigated their actions was a senior official from the Ministry of Industry, but he didn't know who it was.
Officials from the Ministry of Industry have actually pointed the finger of the spear.
Hu Yawen!
Naturally, he would never have imagined that disaster would come from heaven while someone was sitting at home.
Liu Zhong finished reading this time and was very satisfied, "Okay, that's it! It's getting late, go back and rest!"
"It's...Master!"
Liu Xi smiled and exited the study.
Liu Zhong glanced sideways at the confession on the table, "Little emperor, I will let you know today what it means to have policies from above and countermeasures from below."
Smiling darkly.
It was approaching the morning time, and he had no intention of sleeping, so he called the coachman to accompany him to Hu Mansion.
That is Hu Yawen's home.
When he arrived at the door, he did not go in and asked his servants to inform him!
Hu Yawen was still dozing on the chair, and the servant's anxious voice rang in his ears.
"Sir, the Imperial Master is here and is waiting outside the door!"
Hu Yawen shuddered and woke up instantly, as if a basin of cold water had been poured down on him.
Liu Zhong? Why is he here?
In the former court of the Wu Dynasty, Liu Zhong had a life-threatening nickname, known as the Yama of the Wu Dynasty. Anyone who came to the door of the Yama would definitely risk his life...
Staying away, Hu Yawen strode out of the courtyard. After all, Liu Zhong was a national master who was inferior to one person and surpassed ten thousand people, so he had to welcome him.
When he arrived at the door, he saw Liu Zhong's luxurious carriage. He stepped forward and said: "Master, come to the door now. This is..."
Liu Zhong said calmly: "It's almost time for the morning court. Let's take Mr. Hu to the morning court and discuss the matter of the East Village construction site!"
Hu Yawen paused, but did not refuse and got into Liu Zhong's carriage.
The driver tightened the reins and the carriage drove slowly.
Liu Zhongchong said to Hu Yawen: "Master Hu, I think we should put aside our past feud and let go of our prejudices. What do you think?"
Hu Yawen also thought the same thing. It would be no good for anyone if the two of them continued to act like this.
After all, they were officials in the same dynasty.
If you don’t see it when you look down, you can see it when you look up.
Hu Yawen said: "What the Imperial Preceptor said, I wonder what the Imperial Preceptor thinks about the investigation?"
Liu Zhong smiled, "I want to hear what Mr. Hu means. After all, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the entire Ministry of Industry is under your jurisdiction!"
"Master, you are exaggerating when you say this..." Hu Yawen prevaricated with a smile on his face, but now he was at odds with his face, "You are the chief investigator of this case, I think I should listen to you, you
Come on! I will do my best to cooperate!”
Liu Zhong snorted in his heart, "Who doesn't know how to say nice things? Do you think I believe you?"
WTF?
"In this case, I won't be polite!"
"Hu Shangshu, I think that His Majesty is angry and has some serious intentions regarding this matter. You and I must work together to solve this case. Otherwise, if we offend His Majesty, we will definitely be punished."
, what do you think?" Liu Zhong said thoughtfully.
How could Hu Yawen not understand this simple and easy-to-understand truth, and responded: "What the National Master said is reasonable, why don't I ask some people from the Ministry of Industry to stop to accept your investigation? What do you think?"
Stopping work will delay the construction schedule...
Liu Zhong did not dare to make such a decision at this stage. He waved his hand and said, "It is unrealistic to suspend the work. If His Majesty knows about the suspension, he will definitely be angry. You also know that the most important thing to His Majesty now is the canal irrigation project!"
"Then... National Master, do you want to find a solution that has both ends?" Hu Yawen spat in his heart, feeling very helpless. You don't think it's good no matter what I say, so just do it yourself.
Liu Zhong was embarrassed and sighed, "If I had a good solution, I wouldn't come to Hu Shangshu. This case is for us to work together, so I hope Hu Shangshu can find more solutions!"
"To tell you the truth, I am old and my brain is confused!"
When Hu Yawen heard this, he couldn't help but snorted in his heart. Do you think he wants to carry the big head? Thinking of this, he felt more and more that Liu Zhong had no good intentions when the weasel paid New Year's greetings to the chicken!
However, he still said with a smile: "National Master, I still think we should work together. Don't worry, I will let the Ministry of Industry fully cooperate with you this time!"
Liu Zhong gave Hu Yawenyou a trap.
But Hu Yawen was not a good person and did not dig into it.
Let’s play Tai Chi together, fool around together…it’s all acting anyway, it just depends on who can act better…
