Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

The next morning, Mo Ziyan had arrived at Prince Chu's Mansion.

"Your Highness, the humble minister neglected his duty and Liu Lei is dead!"

Mo Ziyan whispered.

Li Yuan frowned slightly and asked:

"When did he die? Who went to prison?"

"Yin Shi died, and no one entered the prison during this period." Mo Ziyan lowered his head and said.

Uh-huh!

Li Yuan suddenly turned around and looked directly at Mo Ziyan, feeling cold in his heart:

"No one entered the prison?"

"Yes, during the examination, it was found that Liu Lei died of poisonous poison, which occurred at three o'clock in the morning." Mo Ziyan sighed for a long time.

………………

"Liu Lei is dead? How is it possible? Who did it?"

A roar came from the inner courtyard of the Lu family. Lu Yuanhua's eyes were cold. It took them a lot of effort to subdue Liu Lei. According to the plan, Liu Lei "confessed" in court today that he was indeed obsessed with secretly stealing ten items from Zhou Xin who was once in Lingfeng Village. Wanshi grain...

At that time, in front of the public, no matter how powerful Chu Qingyan was, there was nothing she could do.

But now there are none.

How could Lu Yuanhua not be angry? He quickly looked for Ximen Aolong to find a solution.

When the angry Lu Yuanhua arrived at the courtyard gate, he saw Lu Qingyan slowly walking out.

"Qingyan, where is Mr. Ximen?"

When Lu Qingyan saw the angry Lu Yuanhua approaching, she couldn't help but wonder, wasn't she happy last night?

"Aolong went out early in the morning, saying he was going to greet his father."

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"Liu Lei is dead." Lu Yuanhua frowned deeply when he learned that Ximen Aolong had left.

"Ah, Liu Lei is dead?" Lu Qingyan exclaimed.

"Who will kill him?"

"I don't know." Lu Yuanhua looked impatient and turned around to leave.

"Where's Zhou Chen? Where has Zhou Chen gone?"

………………

"Uuuuuuuuu, Second Miss, Liu Lei is dead. He was killed by someone else."

Elsewhere, Chu Qingyan and others were preparing to go to the government office. Fan Min cried bitterly after hearing the news, feeling extremely sad.

Zhou Qiuya, He Changwen and others were filled with anger and extremely sad inside.

Chu Qingyan touched the crying Fan Min, her eyes filled with anger:

"Don't worry, Liu Lei was silenced by them. I will help him get revenge. I have found the evidence and will not let any of them go."

After hearing Chu Qingyan's words, everyone looked up, with tears in their eyes showing surprise.

"Second Miss, are you telling the truth?"

Chu Qingyan nodded and shouted to the people outside the room: "Come in, Zhou Chen."

Everyone looked outside the door and saw a commander wearing armor and a resolute face walking in.

Everyone's eyes moved.

"This is Zhou Chen, a member of our town's government. The people who stole the food and framed us are the Lu family."

Chu Qingyan gave Zhou Chen a look, and Zhou Chen took out a picture stone from his arms knowingly. There was a scene of a group of black-clad armored men secretly pulling a batch of grain away from the back of the Xicheng granary at night, and the leader was Lu Yuanhua!

At night, the black-clad soldier secretly left from behind!

unambiguous evidence!

Everyone was extremely excited and looked at Chu Qingyan with admiration.

The second lady’s methods are really powerful!

"Well, I want revenge!" Fan Min raised his head, with tears on his face showing unforgettable hatred.

"Let's avenge Liu Lei together!" Chen Xiao and Liao Siting put their hands on Fan Min's shoulders. At this moment, they were united as never before and shared the same hatred.

Chu Qingyan said coldly, then stepped out of the lobby, "Let's help Liu Lei get justice!"

"Walk!"

Everyone followed Chu Qingyan with great determination.

………………

A large number of people had gathered outside the government office, stretching their necks to look at the conversation inside the government office.

Mo Ziyan and the guard commander Chen Wei also arrived at Li Yuan's invitation and took the first seats on the left and right.

On both sides, officials from the capital city watched.

Liu Lei's body was moved to the middle of the lobby by the patrol. The clerk of the Xicheng Granary knelt beside it and trembled. He looked at Liu Lei's green body with a horrified expression.

Why did Mr. Liu die?

The surrounding officials also looked at each other, expressing doubts. Liu Lei is actually dead?

The leader, Lin Changhai, looked ashen, no clues had been found yet, and now a key figure is dead again!

"furious!"

At the main seat, Li Yuan was furious and pointed at Liu Lei's body.

"Captain Liang, tell me how Liu Lei died!"

Liang Baotou, who was kneeling in front of Liu Lei, was guarded by him last night.

Liang Captou's face was covered with sweat at the moment, he knelt on his legs and said with a pale face:

"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I didn't know that I didn't know. I went to observe Liu Lei's condition every half an hour. At three o'clock in the morning, I discovered that Liu Lei had committed suicide by taking poison."

"Suicide by taking poison? Haha!"

"Does this king believe it?"

Li Yuan sneered, picked up the inkstone on the desk and hit Liang Captou on him.

Bang!

Liang Shaotou, who was in the Xiantian realm, didn't dare to hide or use Gang Qi to protect his body. He was hit in the head straight away, bleeding profusely.

boom! boom!

The inkstone was bounced to the ground, making a dull sound.

The officials condensed in their hearts. This was the first time that King Chu was angry.

"First the granary was stolen, and then the grain guard was killed in the prison. It was so rampant. If the thief is not caught, how can I give an explanation to the people?"

"check!"

Li Yuan stood up and glanced at the officials: "I will give you ten days. If you can't find the thief after ten days, don't do it anymore. How can you face the people?"

Li Yuan's angry voice spread outside the government office, causing a commotion among the people outside.

"Commander Chen!"

Without waiting for the officials' expressions to change, Li Yuan directly called Chen Wei next to him.

Chen Wei immediately stood up and said respectfully:

"The general is here!"

Li Yuan stared at the officials and said coldly:

"Commander Chen, from now on, blockade the capital city until the thief is found!"

Chen Wei's eyes trembled. After listening to Li Yuan's order, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes, and he immediately clasped his fists and said:

"The last general takes command!"

Chen Wei looked at Li Yuan with more respect. Didn't this reflect His Highness's trust in him?

He raised his head and scanned the officials with his sharp eyes, making them tremble in their hearts.

The relationship between military attaches and civilian officials is not so good!

Li Yuan sent Chen Wei, so these officials had no idea of ​​refutation.

They all cursed the people behind the scenes.

Damn it, we have no problem with you dealing with Princess Chu, but now you’re burning yourself!

Knowing that someone was dealing with Chu Qingyan, but not knowing who it was, they now felt resentful towards the thief.

They felt that the eyes of the people outside the government office were staring at them, and they did not dare to show other expressions.

The people outside the government office were excited at the moment. Didn't they hear what King Chu just said was to give them an explanation?

Seeing the high-ranking and powerful people being scolded by the King of Chu, and scolding them for them, these people's impression of Li Yuan now rose to a new level.

"His Royal Highness King Chu, please make the decision for us!"

At this time, a voice came from outside the government office. Everyone looked for the voice and saw Chu Qingyan and his party striding towards them.

He Changwen and Chen Xiao were leading the way, heads held high.

The common people separated a road to let Chu Qingyan and the others go in.
