Chapter 308 The oriole is behind
"There are still many mysteries that have not been solved. Isn't it too early to let him go?"
As soon as he left Yu's house, Wu Yanhao immediately asked.
After Li Cunxi's reasoning was confirmed to be true by Yu Yin, the remaining problems were still unresolved.
In Wu Yanhao's opinion, this question can be answered clearly at one time.
"We already know the answer we want, don't we?"
Li Cunxi took off his mask expressionlessly, unwilling to continue wasting time on this case.
He will go to Tangzhou next to experience the local customs and culture there.
"But don't you find it strange? If Yu Yin really stayed out of this, why did the men in black come to him again and again?"
"Is this weird?"
"Of course it's strange. If he really stayed out of it, why would others come to him? Isn't it strange?" Wu Yanhao followed closely.
"This is not strange." Li Cunxi glanced at the inner guards coming towards this side at the corner of the street, and whispered: "The one who really wanted to kill Lei was Chen Tai, the one who bribed Yu Lei was also Chen Tai, and the one who helped Chen Tai kill Lei was Wu Duo. As for why he helped, the fundamental reason is probably because of the word "profit."
"So Wu Duo's deputy came to see us that night just to let us take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of Wu Duo so that he could climb up?"
"That's right, you see clearly, these people have their own ulterior motives, and the truly open one is Chen Tai... Even if this guy changed his statement at the beginning, his purpose was just to save his face. He never concealed his murderous intentions towards Lei from the beginning."
The case is now closed.
No, the case was already closed when Li Cunxi asked Zhao Hai to deliver the documents to Luoyang.
I come here now just to find out the truth.
But what could Li Cunxi do even if he knew the truth? He couldn't change the course of events, nor could he implicate these people in Wu Sansi's affairs?
He wanted to frame Wu Sansi through this incident, but it was extremely difficult, so he could only flatter Wu Sansi in front of Wu Zetian.
Li Cunxi sighed, half raised his head and looked up at the starry sky. The layers of dark clouds had dispersed, and a crescent moon and stars were emitting their own light in the sky.
"Li Shaoyin, not long after you entered the Yu Mansion, an imperial edict arrived here."
The demon came forward with a smile on his face.
"What imperial edict?"
Li Cunxi asked in confusion. Logically speaking, if the imperial edict was for him, the angel would have entered Yu Mansion and announced the edict to him, or he would have come over now and unfolded the edict and said "The Emperor, By the Mandate of Heaven".
But he didn't see anything now. Let alone the angel carrying the imperial edict, Li Cunxi didn't even see a single angel's Kunba hair.
"It's for me."
"They said that I had made great contributions in following you, Li Shaoyin, in handling cases, and that I had provided strong protection, so they promoted me to the position of the Head of the Inner Guards, so that I could protect you along the way."
Mo Ling was promoted and was getting closer to his elder sister. He had more and more power in his hands, so he was naturally very happy. In the future, transferring people would be just a matter of a word from him.
After taking a deep look at the snake head, Li Cunxi said calmly:
"Congratulations, you must follow me closely in the future, maybe you will have a chance to climb up."
The leaders in the Inner Guard are also divided into high and low ranks.
Someone like Huang Shengyan, who is the designated next Grand Chamberlain, is already the second-in-command of the Internal Guard.
Fenghuang is too young. If Xu Shide, Sun Dianchen and Gao Lan had not died too early, it would be impossible for her to be second only to Huang Shengyan in status at this moment.
As for the newly promoted cabinet leaders like You Huan, Zhao Hai and Mo Ling, one can imagine how low their status is, which is only slightly higher than that of ordinary inner guards.
From the division of labor among the people, one can also clearly distinguish the rank of the leaders of the Inner Guard Bureau.
For example, Huang Shengyan usually takes charge of the power of the Internal Guard when Xiao Qingfang is out.
Fenghuang usually assists Xiao Qingfang and Huang Shengyan.
When it comes to You Huan, he does whatever these three people ask him to do.
Look at Zhao Hai again. He was in charge of the government and also delivered documents to and from Luoyang for Li Cunxi. You know, any powerful internal guard could do this kind of thing.
As for Mo Ling, he is definitely the last one among the leaders of the Inner Guard Palace. The status of the newly promoted leader is enough to make Mo Ling bow down to other leaders.
Look at what the evil spirit is doing, protecting Li Cunxi in secret, isn’t this just hilarious?
There are two top masters of the time next to Li Cunxi, and the existence of the evil spirit can only do some physical work for Li Cunxi.
"With great responsibility comes great status."
Li Cunxi looked at the demon spirit who had a dark future with great distress, and thought to himself that you can only be an errand boy for the rest of your life, how miserable.
The demon spirit, who obviously did not realize how much trouble his identity would bring to himself, promised that he would protect Li Cunxi's life in secret.
"As long as you are happy." Li Cunxi patted Mo Ling's shoulder again.
"Where are we going now? Do you want to go to Chen Tai's house?" Wu Yanhao put away his sympathetic look and turned to Li Cunxi.
"No, we already know the truth, why go to Chen's house?" Li Cunxi said calmly, "Let's go, it's time for us to start our trip to Tangzhou."
The night watchmen were still walking in the city under the moonlight. On another road in the opposite direction, the patrolling soldiers were also maintaining the safety of the city late at night.
Li Cunxi and his entourage hid in the streets and alleys with the inner guards, avoiding everyone's eyes and ears. At the west gate, they showed the inner guard's badge to the guards on duty, and then left the city calmly.
Just a cup of tea after Li Cunxi and his group left Rang County, two dark shadows sneaked into Yu Mansion and met in the main hall of the mansion.
After Li Cunxi left, the servants of Yu Mansion fell asleep one after another, so they naturally did not notice the existence of the two black shadows.
The two dark shadows found a chair in the main hall, sat down, and began to whisper.
"As you can see, they did leave. How can you be sure that Li Shaoyin will not continue to investigate?"
"All Li Shaoyin wants is an answer. I have already given him the answer."
"Indeed, but Li Shaoyin should already know the whole story. Yu Yin doesn't know the whole story, but once he tells us the clues he knows, Li Shaoyin will be able to figure it out completely."
"Yes, but Li Shaoyin didn't go to arrest you. Doesn't that explain everything?"
"Does that mean I had a reason for forcing my brother-in-law to death? So Li Shaoyin won't kill me?"
"Probably. Strange, why didn't Yu Yin come?"
The two talked in the dark for a long time, and suddenly realized that Yu Yin had not come over yet.
Suddenly, light appeared in the main hall, candles were lit, and oil lamps also glowed.
"Did you just realize something was wrong?"
