Chapter 727 Cui Yu was killed
Not long after Li Daozong left, someone else entered the Yamen and asked Cui Yu to go out with a greeting card.
After Cui Yu took the invitation and glanced at it casually, he started searching and asked quickly: "Who is your master?"
"Don't you know that Mr. Cui has gone?"
"Okay, tell your master that I will attend the appointment on time." Cui Yu said.
The visitor cupped his hands and said, "Okay, I will go back and report to my master now."
After the others left, Cui Yu's face became very gloomy. He had just posted a greeting with a thank you note for informing him that someone was plotting to kill the prince.
No one should know about this matter, but now someone knows about it, and it seems that he revealed it himself.
However, it is impossible for him to reveal it, so it may be Li Daozong. Li Daozong's only purpose in doing this is to kill himself, or to warn himself to make him obedient.
Otherwise, why would someone send him a greeting card just after Li Daozong left, and why would it be such top-secret information?
The more Cui Yu couldn't figure it out, the worse his mood became and the uglier his face became.
In the end he could only wait until night.
After Li Daozong returned to his house, he smashed a tea cup angrily and called his confidants.
"See you, Your Majesty." His confidant immediately knelt down and saluted.
Li Daozong nodded and said, "I want a person's life."
"Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty."
"Come here with your ears."
The confidant immediately put his ear towards him, and Li Daozong put his mouth to his confidant's ear and whispered a few instructions into his ear.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Go down."
"I'll take my leave, villain." The confidant slowly withdrew.
At this time, an evil smile appeared on Li Daozong's lips. "Hmph, if you dare to go against me, I will make sure you don't survive tomorrow."
Lantianhou Mansion.
Li Qingyu received three pieces of news. One was that Li Daozong went to the county government office to find Cui Yu. He looked bad when he left, which showed that the two parties had not reached an agreement.
Li Qingyu was very happy about this.
The second news is that Hou Junji sent someone to send an invitation to Cui Yu, indicating that the fish has taken the bait. As long as Cui Yu confirms that someone has murdered the prince and identifies Li Daozong, the three parties will fight each other and never again.
Cooperation is impossible.
Without his two major helpers, Li Daozong would be left alone. If he wanted to succeed, he could only use force to control the entire palace and officials.
Just like Li Er launched the Xuanwumen Incident, he controlled the emperor, the palace and the civil and military ministers.
The third news is that Fang Xuanling has investigated which officials are close to Li Daozong.
The officials were already under surveillance, and now we have no evidence to prove that these officials had any intentions of treason.
So Fang Xuanling used the Secret Disc Commander card given to him by Li Qingyu to dispatch the Secret Disc Commander known to five people, put Li Daozong and those officials under surveillance, and began to investigate them.
This Secret Service was established by Li Feng, which is equivalent to the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty. In terms of surveillance and investigation, they say two things, but no one dares to say one thing.
"Madam, the Prime Minister said that Cui Yu and Lantian Marquis have a personal grudge, and the Marquis Mansion cannot handle it excessively."
"Okay, if the prime minister said this, then we can take revenge." Li Qingyu smiled and then ordered, "Han Wu, go and inform Shuyi and ask her to teach Boling Cui a lesson in the stock market.
A meal.
If we don't let them feel some pain, they will never know what will happen if they offend me, Lantian Marquis Mansion."
"Yes, ma'am."
When Yan Shuyi learned the news, it was already evening and the stock market had stopped, so she decided to take action every day.
Li Qingyu lets her do whatever she wants, but she must let others know that being an enemy of the Hou Mansion will have no good consequences.
On the other side, Cui Yu saw that night was falling and the time agreed with others was coming soon, so he headed to a restaurant with a lantern.
However, he had just walked halfway when he saw two burly men walking towards him.
Cui Yu didn't feel anything was wrong and watched them pass by him.
However, at the moment when the three of them crossed each other, two daggers suddenly appeared in the hands of two burly men.
Cui Yu looked at the two shining daggers and suddenly showed a look of panic. He wanted to escape and even shouted for help but had no chance.
I saw two daggers inserted into Cui Yu's waist, one on the left and one on the right, and then stabbed several times.
Cui Yu vomited blood. If it weren't for the two daggers holding him up, he would have been paralyzed on the ground.
Seeing this, the two burly men quickly pulled out their daggers and ran away, leaving a body lying alone on the ground.
In a tavern, Hou Junji waited for more than half an hour, but still didn't see anyone, so he said in a deep voice: "Send someone over to take a look."
"Yes, General." The guard of the Hou Mansion responded.
Not long after, he came back, clasped his fists at Hou Junji and said, "General, Mr. Cui has been assassinated."
"What?" Hou Junji stood up in surprise, "Come on, take me to see it."
"yes."
The guards took Hou Junji to the scene of the crime.
"General, there are more than a dozen wounds on Mr. Cui's body, on both sides of the abdomen, in similar locations. It is estimated that two people killed Mr. Cui at the same time with a small knife such as a dagger." A guard said.
Hou Junji knelt down and checked the wound. He was also a person who had walked out of the pile of dead people. Looking at the wound, he knew that what the guard said was right.
"Go and inform people from Dali Temple. Someone dares to kill the imperial official. This matter is not trivial." Hou Junji said.
"Yes, General." The guard responded and left.
Hou Junji himself did not leave the scene of the crime. He wanted to know who killed Cui Yu. He felt that this matter was not simple.
I just learned that someone was going to assassinate the prince, and I wanted to ask about the situation so that I could take precautions. Especially today, I just made an appointment with Cui Yu and when I wanted to know the situation, he was killed.
There are no such coincidences in this world, unless Cui Yu knew some terrible secret, or the other party knew that Cui Yu was a traitor, so he was killed.
It is difficult to find out who the other party is because there are no clues, and the only clue was cut off because of Cui Yu's death.
So Hou Junji needs help from Dali Temple.
Half an hour later, someone came from Dali Temple, and the leader was Li Yifu. At this time, Li Yifu was already the young minister of Dali Temple, just like Tang Ning.
When Li Yifu saw Hou Junji, he immediately said: "Dong Lu, why are you here? Could it be that this person is you..."
Hou Junji said with a gloomy face: "Li Yifu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. Be careful, I will sue you for slander."
Li Yifu smiled and said: "Mr. Lu Guo misunderstood. I just want to say that you discovered this body."
"Huh, don't do this with me." Hou Junji said, "I just made an appointment with him and there is something big to discuss. Do you want to know about it?"
