Zhong Gui brought a chair and sat down. Concubine Tu sat down, crying all over and saying, "People from the Imperial City Division found my brother's body in a house outside the west of the city."
"People from the Imperial City Division said that my brother was kidnapped from home, beaten and had his throat cut to death."
"I beg the Emperor to make the decision to redress my brother's grievance."
Tu Maocai, a court official and Concubine Tu's brother, was kidnapped and killed. Li Chengdao immediately thought of the Tianxiahui.
Tu Mao was a talented man who was neither good at literature nor martial arts, so he became a less important official by relying on nepotism.
Killing Tu Maocai has almost no value, except to disgust Li Chengdao.
Therefore, Li Chengdao's first reaction was that the world would do it.
As for the officials whose wives Tu Maocai slept with, Li Chengdao didn't believe they had the guts.
"My dearest concubine, I feel sorry for you. Jiang Hui and the others have already started a war. Tonight they will wipe out the gang of thieves from the Tianxiahui and avenge your brother."
Li Chengdao liked Tu Fei very much because Tu Fei not only had a good appearance and figure, but the most amazing thing was that the flesh on her body was very loose, like cotton.
When Li Chengdao was on it, he felt like he was lying on cotton.
Li Chengdao's words had no effect, and Concubine Tu continued to cry: "I heard that it was not Tianxiahui who killed my brother, but the remnants of the Long family."
"I have been thinking about it for a long time. My brother raided the Long family under the order. He came to take revenge."
Men and women think differently.
Men think big when it comes to things and tend to discuss matters on a case-by-case basis.
Women are different. Women think about personal emotions and grudges.
When Tu Maocai was killed, Li Chengdao's first thought was the conflict between Nanliang and Tianxiahui.
But Concubine Tu was thinking about who Tu Maocai had offended.
After much deliberation, the only person Tu Maocai ever offended was the Long family.
When Concubine Tu said these words, Li Chengdao, Xuan Jizi, and Zhong Gui were stunned.
Zhong Gui looked at Li Chengdao and persuaded in a low voice: "Mother, the Long family is dead. You are thinking too much."
Concubine Tu cried and cried: "Isn't there another Long Cheng'en in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty? He is a remnant of the Long family."
"The Imperial City Secretary also said that that house was the house used by Long Chen for hunting."
"What a coincidence, my brother died there."
Concubine Tu had some information channels, and the news from the Imperial City Division reached her ears.
Concubine Tu thought about it for a while, and she got it right by accident.
If Long Chen were present, he would definitely raise his middle finger...and thumbs up, praising Concubine Tu's intelligence.
Hearing this, Li Chengdao frowned and said, "Find Yu Fuguo!"
Zhong Gui immediately sent a message to Yu Fu to pay an audience.
The room suddenly became quiet, except for Concubine Tu who kept sobbing, her eyes were red from crying, her cheeks were a little flushed, and she looked very charming.
Xuanjizi sat next to her with a calm expression, not affected by Concubine Tu at all.
Li Chengdao looked a little distressed and comforted him a few words.
Not long after, Yu Fuguo came in in a hurry.
Seeing the sobbing Concubine Tu, Yu Fuguo immediately understood what was going on and cursed in his heart that the Imperial City Division had done a poor job of keeping secrets.
There are always some people who want to curry favor with the people in the palace and reveal the news in advance.
"What happened to Tu Si Cheng?"
Li Chengdao asked right away.
Yu Fuguo immediately reported: "Back to the emperor, Tu Sicheng's body was found at noon. It was in a house outside the west of the city. The slaves are still trying their best to trace the murderer."
Concubine Tu cried and said: "What else do you need to investigate? Long Chengen did it. That guy is in Jinling City, why don't you arrest him!"
Xuan Jizi and Zhong Gui listened a little helplessly.
Long Chen was able to say such things in Jinling City. It was really a woman's lack of knowledge.
However, Concubine Tu's nonsense was actually right.
Li Chengdao comforted him and said, "Don't worry, my dear, let Yu Fuguo speak slowly."
Yu Fuguo continued: "Your Majesty, Tu Sicheng's case is indeed very strange. According to judgment, he was kidnapped from the concubine's room by a thief."
"The thief carried Tu Sicheng across the city wall to the house outside the west gate. That house... that house was built by Long Chen."
At this point, Li Chengdao and Xuan Jizi were stunned.
Just now, Concubine Tu said that the house was used by Long Chen for hunting. They thought Concubine Tu was talking nonsense.
I didn't expect this to be the case.
Li Chengdao's face suddenly turned ugly, his hands trembled slightly, and he said, "Keep talking!"
Yu Fuguo continued: "Tu Sicheng was beaten before his death, his teeth were knocked out, and his throat was sealed with a knife."
Hearing this, Concubine Tu burst into tears again, and the palace maid quickly comforted her.
Yu Fuguo continued: "What's strange about this old slave is, who would want to do this?"
"The thief doesn't seek wealth, and Tu Si Cheng is not a military expert, so what's the point of killing him?"
What Yu Fuguo meant was that it was impossible for the Tianxiahui to take action against Tu Maocai, and he could not guess who the murderer was.
Concubine Tu choked up and said: "It's Long Chengen, Long Chengen is Long Chen, my brother raided Long Shuai's mansion, he came to take revenge."
Yu Fuguo was so embarrassed that he had nothing to say. He felt that Concubine Tu's reasoning was nonsense and made no sense.
Long Chengen is not Long Chen, he is just an officer in the Long Family Army. Everyone knows this.
Regardless of Concubine Tu's cries, Li Chengdao asked: "Tell me, who committed the murder?"
Yu Fuguo did not answer this question and reported another matter.
"Your Majesty, I still have something to report."
Li Chengdao said angrily: "I ask you about Tu Sicheng's case!"
Zhong Gui was listening, and he expected that what Yu Fuguo was going to say must be related to the murder of Tu Maocai.
Otherwise, Yu Fuguo would not speak like this.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. To find out who killed Tu Si Cheng, you need to tell another case."
Yu Fuguo bowed and bowed.
Li Chengdao snorted coldly, and Yu Fuguo immediately said: "The old slave found Mi He's body in the woods south of the city. After inspection, Mi He was beaten to death with his bare hands. His injuries were consistent with Haifu and Lianxin's.
.”
After Haifu and Lianxin were killed, Yu Fuguo saw the bodies and the wounds, which were the same as Mihe's.
After Yu Fuguo finished speaking, Li Chengdao and Xuan Jizi stood up.
"Mi He was beaten to death with his bare hands?"
Li Chengdao looked at Xuan Jizi with a shocked expression.
Xuanjizi stroked his beard and frowned: "Mi He was beaten to death, and his injuries were the same as Hai Fu and Ling Xin."
"That means the murderer is the same person."
"Moreover, if this murderer kills people on both sides, then this person is..."
Everyone guessed that this person was Long Chen.
"Why didn't you report such an important matter earlier!"
Li Chengdao was furious.
Yu Fuguo said, "I'm afraid of making a mistake, so I want to find out more clearly before talking."
"The old slave has sent everyone in the Imperial City Department away, and the whole city is searching for Long Chengen."
Xuanjizi clicked his tongue and said: "What a great Long Chengen, he really dares to come! And he dares to kill people right under his nose!"
Li Chengdao slowly sat down, and he understood that all of this was Long Chen's fault.
His own son Li Jiye was killed by Long Chen, and then he was framed and blamed on the Tianxiahui.
In fact, Li Chengdao had doubted Long Chen and knew whether Tianxiahui should do this.
But in the end he got it right!
Li Chengdao thought to himself: Long Chengen took advantage of my desire to clean up the world.
Li Chengdao originally wanted to clean up the Tianxiahui, partly for revenge, and partly to make the Tianxiahui obey him honestly.
Long Chen took advantage of this and kept provoking conflicts, making things worse and worse, and finally got out of hand.
"Long Chengen is really a nasty fly, he will crawl into any crack!"
