Li Ran stepped forward, approaching the man step by step, and stared at him with a cold eyebrow, a look of solemnity on his face.
"Let me ask you, do you want to live... or do you want to die?"
A Liao hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged:
"Small... of course I want to live..."
Li Ran tried his best to soften his tone.
"If you want to live, then tell us the truth! Who is the person who conveyed the order to you? What is your purpose of lurking in Chengzhou? What purpose do you want to achieve by holding my daughter hostage now? You
If you tell me everything, maybe I can spare your life, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Although Li Ran was powerless, at the end of the day, his whole body exuded a murderous aura. Ah Liao would never think that he was joking, and she only became more timid at this time:
"I don't dare to hide anything. In fact, we are all appointed by the King of Yue... But the new leader is not from Yue. However, he does have a token of our Yue Kingdom in his hand, and we have to obey his orders.
.I don’t even know his name. As for us lurking in Chengzhou, when we came here, we just wanted to pay attention to your every move here, and... and wait for an opportunity to kidnap you to the Yue Kingdom!"
"As for the sudden abduction of the young master yesterday, I have no way of knowing any news...but it must be someone else who wants to use this to make money for my husband to go to the country of Yue. Please rest assured, sir, the King of Yue respects you very much and will never
Harm Shaojun even half a cent!"
Li Ran said:
"Hmph! You, the King of Yue, are so outrageous! You actually want to make me go to Yue Kingdom? This is simply unreasonable!"
This Ah Liao obviously didn't have a high status, he was just a little guy. Now in order to survive, there was no need to panic and explain everything at once.
Li Ran felt a little relieved. If this was really the case, at least Liguang's life would not be in danger for the time being.
Fan Li asked again:
"Then you said it was the new leader who asked you to take sudden action yesterday. Even if everyone in the Li family has relaxed in the past two days, how could you kidnap people without anyone noticing?"
A Liao said:
"I dare not deceive you, sir. In fact, there are many insiders in the Li family. If not, how could we have been so successful?"
Li Ran's heart moved and he asked:
"The insider? Who is the insider?"
A Liao shook her head.
"This... villain doesn't know!"
Li Ran paced back and forth around A Liao, was silent for a while, and said:
"How long has this spy been in the house?"
A Liao's face was a little confused, but she still answered:
"I don't even know about this little one. But... it seems that the time is not short, and I don't know the specific little one. Please trust me!"
Fan Li said in surprise:
"Sir, could it be that... it's..."
Li Ran knew who Fan Li was talking about, and the figure of Gong Eryue suddenly appeared in his mind, and Li Ran said:
"No! It's absolutely impossible! Yue'er's feelings for Guang'er are definitely not fake! There's no way I can't see it!"
Fan Li said:
"She comes from the country of Yue. Maybe...Brother Changqing's guess back then was right?! Brother Changqing had an unpleasant quarrel with my husband over this matter at that time! Looking back now, it seems to be quite reasonable!"
"Perhaps the murder of Lezi Sheng at that time was really... the fault of Miss Yue? Maybe he really bumped into something?..."
As a disciple of Confucius, Le Zisheng died tragically at the back door of Li Mansion. This case was considered to be against Confucius, who had just become the chief minister. Because there were too few details about the case, and it happened near Li Mansion in Xinglin, leaving
There are not many clues.
At that time, Confucius was in the critical period of taking office as the chief minister, so he only thought that the matter was caused by Sanhuan. Therefore, in order to calm the situation as soon as possible, he could only hastily dismiss the case.
But now it seems that things are really not that simple. Is it really as Sun Wu guessed?
Li Ran couldn't help but frown and said:
"There must be something fishy about this! But we can't conclude that it was Yue'er who did it!"
Fan Li said anxiously:
"Li originally thought so, but now Guang'er is being held hostage and she has also disappeared. This makes me have to think so too! Maybe Guang'er noticed someone was intruding and drew his sword to defend himself, so there was a fight.
There are traces of it, but Guang'er is obviously no match for that person!..."
"Miss Yue followed and entered together. Seeing that it was the Yue people who held Guang'er hostage, Miss Yue left with her! Isn't that what the footprints look like?"
Li Ran still couldn't believe it:
"No, Yue'er will never hurt Guang'er."
Fan Li said:
"Perhaps... Gong Eryue knew that the King of Yue would not harm her, so Miss Yue agreed? And... Miss Yue actually wanted her husband to go to Yue, right?"
Li Ran couldn't help but be startled. Thinking of that day's outing, Gong Eryue had indeed revealed her intention to let Li Ran go to Yue Kingdom.
"Is it possible... that she is really an undercover agent sent by the Yue Kingdom? But her feelings for me and Guang'er are definitely not fake. How can I not see it?"
Li Ran thought to himself, Fan Li saw that he was stunned and couldn't help but said anxiously:
"Sir...sir!"
Li Ran woke up with a start and couldn't help but murmured:
"How could this be so...how could this be so?"
At this time, Ah Liao kowtowed and begged:
"Xiao Zhen has told the truth. I hope you two adults will spare my life! Spare my life!"
After that, he kowtowed again and again until his forehead bled.
Li Ran came back to his senses and asked tremblingly:
"Then...the spy you are talking about...is he a man or a woman?"
Ah Liao shook her head and said:
"I really don't know if they are male or female, one or two people, or four or five... I really don't know..."
When Li Ran heard this, he turned around and said to Fan Li:
"Young uncle, you first secretly investigate the people in the house. As for whether Yue'er is an internal agent of the Yue Kingdom, it will be useless to make suspicions at this moment. Since the target of King Gou Jian of Yue is me, then Guang'er should not be alive.
No worries! You don’t have to worry too much!”
"Let's lock this person up first!"
Fan Li responded:
"promise!"
Fan Li lifted up Ah Liao and walked out directly. Li Ran clasped his hands behind his back. Although logically speaking, the other party would not harm Li Guang. But now there is no news after all, which is really heart-wrenching.
At this moment, Guan Cong and Sikou returned to Li Mansion together. Sikou saluted and said:
"I have seen Uncle Zong, and my subordinates have just checked with the guards everywhere. There was nothing unusual in the city last night!"
Li Ran frowned and couldn't help but nodded:
"Thank you...it's just that my little girl is missing. There is really no clue, which is really worrying!..."
Sikou replied:
"Don't worry, Uncle Zong, I will step up the search with more manpower!"
After Sikou left, Li Ran was also worried and said:
"Ziyu, my uncle and I just interrogated the little thief who was caught by Chu Dang last night. The little thief is from Yue, and... it seems that he has been doing it for a long time!"
"Furthermore...after interrogation, I feel that Gong Eryue...may also be their internal agent!"
After listening to this, Guan Cong said decisively:
"Lord! Everything else is easy to talk about, but to say that Miss Yue is an internal spy of Vietnam, please rest assured, lord, this is absolutely impossible!"
