Chapter 293 The next step
After searching all night without getting any useful information, Li Cunxi put down the document in his hand and a smile appeared on his face.
"I knew someone would be restless."
"Everyone take a break, let us listen to what they have to say."
Zhao Hai, who was asked to help, threw away the personnel transfer that he was unwilling to look at in the beginning without saying a word, and sat happily on the bed.
The remaining few people were already tired and sat down to rest.
While the few people were sitting down, the dark figure had already taken off the black face covering on his face, removed the black headscarf on his head, and took off his nightgown and the black loose-fitting thin pants underneath.
The man arranged by Li Cunxi to monitor Yu Mansion was Yingzi, a master of light Kung Fu in the Inner Guard Mansion.
"My Lords, this is what happened..."
Yingzi took the time of a cup of tea to let Li Cunxi and others know everything that happened after Wu Duo met Yu Yin.
Shadow wrote down most of what the two said.
However, these secret conversations would not become evidence in court in Li Cunxi's eyes, but would instead cause Li Cunxi more headaches.
From the conversation between the two, it is clear that Yu Lei's death is not as simple as it seems. Yu Yin and Wu Duo both know the real reason for Yu Lei's death, and it is not just Yu Yin and Wu Duo, there is another mysterious person who can pay off Yu Yin's debt.
What secrets these people have with each other remains unknown for now.
But it is absolutely impossible for Li Cunxi to find clues from these people.
After all, Wu Duo had already told Yu Yin not to change his story and to hold on until Li Cunxi left Dengzhou, and then he would meet Yu Yin in private.
"What do you think? Is there a possibility in this case that we can use the strategy of luring the snake out of its hole?"
Li Yuanfang touched his chin and gave a plan.
"Yuan Fang, why don't you tell me about it?" Hu Jinghui said.
"That's right. Didn't they say that they would meet privately after we left Dengzhou? Then why don't we just advertise to the whole of Dengzhou that Yu Lei hanged himself because of corruption and abuse of power, then leave Dengzhou and secretly send people to monitor Wu Duo and Yu Yin?"
Li Yuanfang's strategy is a common one in fishing enforcement.
Just waiting for them to meet.
Li Cunxi also used this trick in the Xue Mansion tragedy last year, which was to wait for the killers to jump out on their own before taking action.
Li Yuanfang was able to come up with such a strategy today. It seems that he has learned a lot in the past six months.
"But... the death of a provincial governor cannot be dealt with carelessly even by an imperial envoy. After Cunxi investigates the case, he must submit a letter to His Majesty."
Wu Yanhao leaned back, looking a little helpless.
"When your majesty sees the letter, he will definitely mention the death of the governor of Dengzhou at the court meeting, so that the ministers can learn from it. After all, this is a good opportunity. If Cunxi does not recommend someone to take over the position of governor, your majesty will also ask the ministers to recommend capable ministers to fill the position."
"Even if the latter situation did not happen, as long as His Majesty said that at the court meeting, my cousin would naturally get the news. He founded the Bainiao Trading Company, so how could he ignore Wu Duo? He would naturally send someone to tell Wu Duo that the case has been closed."
"This is the normal process that Cunxi should follow."
"Wu Duo was born in my cousin's house and has been with my cousin for so many years. He should know some of what he should and shouldn't know."
"Wait for my cousin to send a message to Wu Duo, and then Wu Duo will go to see Yu Yin. Even if he is caught by us, what good will it do?"
"This case is closed."
Wu Yanhao said the most heartbreaking result and rubbed his temples frantically.
If Li Cunxi had unilaterally announced the closing of the case, a shrewd man like Wu Duo would have definitely waited and watched.
He will not run out until he confirms that Li Cunxi's case is truly closed and the new Assassin has taken office.
If saying "case closed" can trick the real culprit into revealing the truth...
Wu Duo was entrusted with important tasks by Wu Sansi, and he had no deep hatred with others, nor did he have any huge interests. Naturally, he would not be like Xu Shide and Lin Yongzhong.
"From the current situation, we have considered every aspect of this case, but we still have no chance of digging out the truth from these people."
"As for Yu Lei's bribe of 200,000 taels of silver, it is difficult for us to find any clues about the briber."
Li Cunxi complained, his eyes dull.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he couldn't just arrest Wu Duo and torture him to extract a confession, so it was very difficult to deal with it now.
Wu Yanhao's mind raced, and he finally decided on a bad plan.
"Cunxi, I think that Wuduo and the Chen family are the only two who have the ability to bribe Yu Lei."
"No matter how we investigate, we can't bypass these two companies in Rang County."
"How about this, I'll go to the Bainiao Trading Company tomorrow, and you'll go to the Chen family. We'll tell Chen Tai of the Chen family and Wu Duo of the Bainiao Trading Company that we can't find any clues."
"Tell them directly that if we really can't find any clues, we will close the case and go to Tangzhou to continue patrolling on behalf of the emperor."
Li Cunxi touched his nose, feeling that Wu Yanhao was reminding him that patrolling on behalf of the emperor was the real job.
They must go thoroughly, and then the talent behind the scenes may emerge to put an end to this matter.
As for writing a letter to Wu Zetian...there is no way around it.
However, there are many types of petitions, and you can change the skin and let Wu Zetian choose a governor of Dengzhou.
This worst plan is exactly the same as Li Yuanfang's strategy, except that it is more decisive. The people are really leaving and the letter is really delivered. No matter the consequences, just wait for them to come out and be dealt with by others.
"It seems I need to consult someone."
Li Cunxi stood up, rubbed his temples, and walked back and forth in the main hall.
Seeing Li Cunxi in such a dilemma, Zhao Hai quickly stood up and clasped his fists towards Li Cunxi:
"Li Shaoyin, if Li Shaoyin needs help from the inner guards, we will definitely help you!"
Li Cunxi, who was walking around with his hands behind his back, took a deep look at Zhao Hai and said helplessly:
"Of course we need the help of your Inner Guard. If we still can't find any clues after a few days, we will definitely have to go to Tangzhou to make it real. After we leave, the Inner Guard will have to send people to monitor them."
"only……"
Li Cunxi stopped and slowly raised his head.
"However, I still want to investigate this case. I, Li Cunxi, am on duty as the emperor, so I naturally want to clear up all the strange cases. Yu Lei's death is full of suspicions. Now that I know this, I have no reason not to investigate further."
"Both Yuan Fang and Yan Hao's plans can be used, but this is the last resort after all."
"Let me think about it, let me think about it, I'm sure I can think of something I've overlooked."
Li Cunxi frowned and walked out of the main hall.
