"Hahaha..." Lu Qingbai looked at the newspaper in his hand and couldn't help but laugh, "What a sinister method! You actually used this method to find out the person behind it. Who is behind the prince's back and helping him make plans?
"
This morning, the Beijing Daily reported in detail the specific matters regarding the second assessment.
Many people can read these news in newspapers without leaving home.
I don’t know since when, reading newspapers has become something that the powerful people in the capital must do every morning while eating.
Check out the latest current events and the latest news.
It really satisfies their curiosity infinitely.
Ren Xiaoyao opposite didn't speak or move. He just drank his porridge quietly without even looking at the newspaper or Lu Qingbai.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lu Qingbai wasn't surprised. He turned the page to the list of those who passed the assessment for the second time, frowned and started thinking.
Who dared to kidnap the Minister of Industry in the capital? Who did it?
It's almost no need to think about it, it must be among these eight people.
He read the names in the newspaper one by one. Apart from himself, the person he was most familiar with was... Qin Sining.
Could it be her?
Lu Qingbai thought for a while, shook his head, and ruled her out for the time being.
She is the most unlikely.
At that time, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry had already communicated with Lu Qingbai in advance that the Ministry of Industry would not accept any money from others except his money.
As soon as Ren Xiaoyao escorts the money to Beijing, the Minister of Works will inform the prince that the Ministry of Works has received the money and the assessment can be concluded.
Lu Qingbai, who originally had the advantage, ruined the whole good game because of a small mistake.
And Qin Sining's relationship with the prince is so close, it is not difficult for her to pass the first round of assessment as long as she follows the prince's path, so she is also the least likely.
Next up is...King of Iron Guts!
After this man came to Beijing, he beat up a vendor, which shows that he was extremely arrogant and domineering.
If he kidnapped the Minister of Industry...
Lu Qingbai thought for a while and rubbed his brow. He couldn't find any clue yet.
The main reason is that we have too little information, and we have not fully investigated the current competitors.
By this time, Ren Xiaoyao had already finished his meal.
He put down the porridge bowl and chopsticks, then picked up the tea cup, drank all the tea in it, rinsed his mouth, and swallowed it all.
Lu Qingbai felt a chill when he saw it.
Senior brother, I don’t lack this cup of tea here, so don’t save it for me!
However, this was Ren Xiaoyao's long-standing habit, and he couldn't say much.
"Senior brother, what do you think of the strategy for the second assessment? I plan to send out all my men to find out the details of these opponents first."
"Currently, we have so little information that we are no different from being blind!"
Lu Qingbai saw that he had finished eating and knew that they could talk.
Sure enough, Ren Xiaoyao wiped his lips with a handkerchief, put it down, and said: "We still need to check, but we only need to pretend to check, and finally we have to gather everyone's hands."
"What do you mean?" Lu Qingbai didn't understand at all.
"It's very simple." Ren Xiaoyao glanced at him, "The Crown Prince's intention to investigate the case of the Ministry of Industry this time is very clear, that is, he does not want the matter of running for prime minister to involve innocent people anymore."
"However, if you want not to implicate other people, you can only implicate the current nine people, and the kidnapper is undoubtedly among these nine people. Once other people investigate, when the murderer feels that he may be exposed, he will do something
There has to be only one thing."
Lu Qingbai's pupils suddenly shrank, and he had already thought of that possibility, "Senior brother, you mean... it will kill people?"
Ren Xiaoyao nodded, "No, a lot of people should die!"
Lu Qingbai's face suddenly darkened a little, and he sneered, "Is this the prince's purpose from the beginning?"
"I don't know, maybe he didn't think of this level at first." Ren Xiaoyao shook his head, "But things are developing in this direction."
"This is also a good thing for us. We just need to pretend to check and wait for them to kill each other!"
Lu Qingbai took a deep breath, put down the newspaper, and after thinking for a while, "No, we still have to continue the investigation. Once we overestimate the criminal's strength and let others take the advantage, our round of assessment will fail."
Ren Xiaoyao's eyes moved slightly, and he took the newspaper and looked at the list, "It's still a bit too risky, but...it's worth a try!"
…
After the first round of assessment, the news spread like wildfire in the capital and became a hotly discussed topic in the streets.
As the details of the second round of assessments were revealed, another wave of public opinion arose.
The next prime minister of Jingyang will be chosen among these nine people, and everyone seems to be personally involved in it.
Although they are only witnesses, they are almost as good as participants.
The most hotly discussed one is naturally that tonight, the prince will personally host a banquet in Lihua Garden to entertain the nine candidates who have passed the examination.
You know, the money they contributed is equivalent to two months of Jingyang's national tax.
Allocating part of the money to host a banquet to entertain everyone is a matter of course, both emotionally and rationally.
What best conveyed sincerity was that the prince personally hosted a banquet for him.
The prince did not participate in the last argumentation meeting and Lantern Festival Poetry Meeting at all, but this time it was different.
That afternoon, the streets around Lihua Court were under martial law.
The soldiers in Beijing, under the personal command of Li Lin, Minister of War, surrounded the surrounding streets with three floors inside and three floors outside.
People who want to pass by the streets near Lai Wah Court can only take a detour.
However, this did not arouse anyone's dissatisfaction, because the kidnapping of the Minister of Industry was just around the corner.
Such strict defensive measures are understandable.
It was getting late, and luxurious and elegant carriages drove into the streets near Lihua Garden.
It attracted waves of exclamations from the onlookers.
Although you can't see who is in the frame, the BMW sculpture alone is enough to attract people's imagination.
Whoever can pass the first round of assessment is not a wealthy person?
The amount of tea they drank was enough for a poor person to struggle for a year and it would be difficult to buy even one tael. Driven by curiosity, the people watched with great interest.
After the carriage enters, it will be interrogated by the guards of the capital and will be released only after confirming that the number of people traveling meets the regulations.
No one is an exception.
Zhao Xiaole also came with Qin Sining.
Li Lin recognized his bicycle frame, so he specifically informed the guards. When Zhao Xiaole arrived, Li Lin personally came to greet him.
He opened the curtain and took a casual look, then let him go.
Zhao Xiaole didn't make things difficult for him. The rules were the rules, and Li Lin had done enough.
Afterwards, the carriage stopped outside the gate of Lihua Garden.
Zhao Xiaole and Qin Sining got off the car together and walked in.
