After Yulongweisha went out, people all over the world were asking about Cheng Dalei's whereabouts. When Cheng Dalei showed up in Jiujiang City, they swarmed towards Jiujiang City.
Then, another horse galloped towards Chang'an City, not only reporting the news, but also bringing a human head.
Qian Weixiong's head was dried with lime and put in a box and sent to Qi Jiguang. Qi Jiguang held it in his hands and came to see Li Xingzai.
Li Xingzai has been very busy recently, busy with the princes' meeting. If Qi Jiguang hadn't reminded him, he would have even forgotten to take action against Cheng Dalei.
Li Xingzai was already very busy, and he felt even more headache after seeing Qian Weixiong's head.
"What does he want to do? What exactly does he want to do? Is he deliberately demonstrating to me?" Li Xingzai was furious.
Qi Jiguang lowered his head and said: "According to the investigation of Yulongwei, Qian Weixiong and his son were indeed unruly in Jiujiang City and did a lot of things that were unfair to common people. After Cheng Dalei arrived in Jiujiang City, he was even imprisoned.
Afterwards, Qian Weixiong and his son died suddenly in the house, and Cheng Dalei temporarily took over as the city lord."
"Sudden death? I'm afraid Cheng Dalei could have done this with his hands." Li Xingzai snorted coldly: "After all, he is an official of the imperial court. He will be killed when he is told."
"This is something Cheng Dalei can do." Qi Jiguang said.
Li Xingzai sighed, Cheng Dalei's behavior has always been this way, Qian Weixiong bumped into his hands, it's not surprising that something happened.
In this way, Li Xingzai's angry heart calmed down a little.
"What about the army in the city that makes Cheng Dalei so lawless?" Li Xingzai asked again.
"The commander of the city defense army was Lin Shanlong, Qian Weixiong's brother-in-law. He was not in the city when the incident occurred. After returning to the city, he prepared to take revenge on Cheng Dalei, but Cheng Dalei incited public dissatisfaction and restrained Lin Shanlong. I don't know what happened later.
, Lin Shanlong obeyed Cheng Dalei's advice."
"Public resentment, people's support, public opinion?" Li Xingzai said to himself, feeling a little chill in his heart.
"Where is Cheng Dalei now?" Li Xingzai asked.
"This...I don't know."
"I don't know?" Li Xingzai was startled.
Qi Jiguang said: "When the Yulong Guards arrived at Jiujiang City, Cheng Dalei had already left. His whereabouts are unknown now. My subordinates are investigating. I believe we will get the news soon."
Li Xingzai curled his lips: "Then why was this head brought to me? Is it to make me look stupid or to cause trouble for me?"
"This...was it Cheng Dalei who asked you to do this?"
Li Xingzai frowned again: "Isn't he already gone?"
"Qian Weixiong's head is placed in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion. Lin Shanlong gave it to the Yulong Guard. He asked us to hand it over to His Majesty, saying that it was left behind by Cheng Dalei before he left."
"Cheng Dalei, Cheng Dalei, we are falling into other people's schemes at every step." Li Xingzai sighed.
Cold sweat broke out on Qi Jiguang's face, and he said: "My subordinates have indeed underestimated the difficulty of this mission. I will definitely be more vigilant in the future and will no longer be led by him."
Li Xingzai said nothing and stared at Qian Weixiong's head in the box.
Suddenly, I felt sad. Qian Weixiong was once Li Xingzai's vanguard officer. During one battle, Li Xingzai was almost hit by an enemy's hidden arrow. It was Qian Weixiong who blocked the arrow regardless of his status as Li Xingzai. Otherwise, how could Li Xingzai be called a loner today?
There is no greater achievement than rescuing a driver, so Li Xingzai rewarded him with Jiujiang City as a token of love for the emperor and his subjects.
As a result, Qian Weixiong was unable to retire in Jiujiang City, and instead his head was beheaded by Cheng Dalei and sent here.
The bloody storm on the battlefield disappeared over time, but that desperate attack will never be forgotten for a long time.
"Do you think Qian Weixiong deserves to die for what he did in Jiujiang City?" Li Xingzai asked.
Qi Jiguang nodded: "His son Qian Shiming loved money as much as life. The people gave him the nickname Money is Life. He was greedy for people's property and put people in jail, causing countless families to be broken up and people killed. And money is
Xiong Ze has a strong desire for power. He eliminates dissidents in the city, installs cronies, and makes Jiujiang City the Jiujiang City of his Qian family."
"It is said that a person's nature is hard to change, but how can a person change so quickly? Old money, old money..." Li Xingzai sighed, closed the box and covered Qian Weixiong's head.
It would be wrong to say that Li Xingzai did not miss the old relationship at all, otherwise he would not be wavering on Cheng Dalei. But things are different now. He is already the ruler of the entire empire, and he will not care about a mere human life.
.
What frightened him was the deep meaning behind this matter. The empire was so big that people like Qian Weixiong were too many, and many people were afraid that they would go too far. They were thousands of miles apart, and it was inconvenient for news to come and go. There were some things that even Li Xingzai wanted to take care of.
, and may not be able to control it.
What's more, now that Li Xingzai has just secured his position, the princes' meeting is about to take place, and the princes in the world are eyeing him. They are the trouble that needs to be solved urgently. Therefore, even if he knows that there is rat droppings mixed in a pot of porridge, Li Xingzai can only resist and not lift the lid of the pot.
Pretend you know nothing about these things.
This was the first thing Li Xingzai was afraid of. The other thing was Cheng Dalei's performance in Jiujiang City.
Single-handedly, he took advantage of the people's support to change Jiujiang City's ownership and even made Lin Shanlong give up.
The skills are not bad, and the work is beautiful. This is just a city in Jiujiang, what if it were the whole world?
His ability was so great that Li Xingzai was afraid of him. In this case, Cheng Dalei had to kill him.
Li Xingzai was silent for a long time, digesting the matter in his heart and making his own judgment.
"Where is Cheng Dalei now? Can you find out the news?"
"This... I will find out as soon as possible."
"How fast is as soon as possible?" Li Xingzai asked.
Qi Jiguang lowered his head and was speechless.
Li Xingzai sighed and said: "You can be considered capable, but to be honest, you are still a little behind as Cheng Dalei's opponent. You must pay more attention to this matter, and you must know that our enemies are not ordinary people."
."
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Qi Jiguang raised his head.
"Cheng Dalei will definitely die." Li Xingzai said firmly.
Qi Jiguang finally got an affirmative answer, and a big stone fell in his heart.
He said: "Your Majesty, how to deal with the matter in Jiujiang City and the head of Qian Xiong?"
"Didn't Cheng Dalei ask Lin Shanlong to temporarily take over the position of Lord of Jiujiang City? Let him do it first. As for Qian Weixiong..." Li Xingzai paused and said: "Let the world know that Qian Weixiong has committed a heinous crime and will die unjustly."
His body was exposed for ten days as a warning to others."
After saying that, Li Xingzai let out a long sigh: "Old money, old money..."
Even though he knew that the porridge was laced with rat droppings, Li Xingzai had to grit his teeth and swallow it, pretending that nothing had happened.
Now, Li Xingzai also felt the feeling of being unable to control oneself in the world. This chair was not that easy to sit on.
