Chapter 298 Hope
Late at night, at the Governor's Mansion.
A figure walked out from the shadows and arrived outside the governor's mansion. After saying a few words to the guard on duty outside, a guard immediately came to the official residence where Li Cunxi was staying and found Li Cunxi.
"Li Shaoyin, there's someone outside looking for you, claiming to have seen you during the day." The guard clenched his fists and said.
"Bring it in."
Li Cunxi leaned against the small table on the bed, flipping through Lu Dayou's "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" in his hand. His wet hair was scattered around his ears. Under the flickering light, Li Cunxi's eyes were wandering.
Yes, he didn't read the book at all.
He had been thinking about other things.
Not long after, the man in black was brought in by the guards. When the guards stepped in and took a look, they found that the official residence where Li Cunxi was originally alone now had several more people inside.
Wu Yanhao, Hu Jinghui, Li Yuanfang and Lu Dayou, who had already rested, all appeared in Li Cunxi's room.
"Okay, you go down first. I'll see what this gentleman wants to see me about."
Li Cunxi casually sent the guard away, and then looked the man in black up and down.
Li Cunxi was very familiar with this man in black. Although he had a black scarf on his face, it still couldn't hide the fact that he had a fat body.
"If I remember correctly, you shouldn't be here, right?"
The man in black cupped his hands.
"Li Shaoyin."
"Master Wu."
"General Tiger."
"General Lee."
"And this gentleman."
The man in black recognized each one of them, and then took off the black scarf on his face.
Lu Dayou saw the face of the person who came clearly and couldn't help but hiss.
"Hehe, my lords, I came here only because I had no choice. I also wanted to climb up, but there was always someone pressing down on me."
"I came here in the middle of the night to seek a better future for myself. I hope you can forgive my disrespect for the past few days."
The man in black knelt down and was very respectful.
Li Cunxi tapped his chin and asked calmly, "If I hadn't gone to the Bai Niao Trading Company today, you would never have found me, right?"
"Yes, Master Li. If you hadn't come to our Bai Niao Trading Company today, it would mean that you had almost given up investigating the case, and I would naturally not have found you." The man in black said truthfully, "But now that you are here, and since you want to investigate the case, I will naturally do my best to help you."
"Where do you want to climb to?" Wu Yanhao asked.
"I just need to climb up one position," the man in black said.
Li Cunxi took a deep look at the man and said cheerfully, "It's natural for you to want to climb up, but I need to see if the clues you gave support you to climb up further."
"Master Li, I can guarantee that the clues I gave will definitely support me to climb up. However, if I climb up, I will definitely offend my master, King Liang. I just don't know if you... have the ability to protect me. After all, you may not be able to..."
The man in black spoke just at the right moment, closing his mouth mid-sentence.
Li Cunxi did not feel offended by the black-clad man's questioning.
after all.
One was a prince of the current dynasty and the right prime minister of Wenchang, while the other was only the Shaoyin of Henan Prefecture.
It is obvious who is strong and who is weak.
However, these are special times.
"As long as you provide enough clues, I can ensure that King Liang will never be able to touch you."
Regardless of whether he could do it or not, Li Cunxi drew the pie first.
"Master Li, you don't seem to be sincere. I can't feel your sincerity towards me. I think you will deny your empty promise sooner or later."
The man in black half tilted his head back, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.
He could tell at a glance that this was a big pancake, and he didn't want to eat it dryly.
For a better life in the future, he must strive for greater and more benefits for himself.
He firmly believed that Li Cunxi would easily agree to any of his requests in order to solve the case and get the clues he gave.
"Then what do you want?" Li Cunxi leaned back. "Everyone knows that I and King Liang are sworn enemies. Besides, I can't give you any answer you want except empty promises."
"Your Excellency is right. You really can't give me anything other than empty promises. I accept it."
"So what clues are you going to tell me?"
The man in black slowly raised his head, a cunning look flashing in his eyes: "The news I am about to tell you will surely be of great pleasure to Lord Li... This is about the matter between the Prince of Liang, the Prince of Qiancheng, and the Minister of Rites."
"What does this have to do with the Prince of Qiancheng and the Minister of Rites?"
"My Lord, please listen to me and I will tell you slowly."
……
It was already noon two days later when Mo Ling returned to Rang County with the inventory files. Even though he had obtained Yu Lei's inventory files, Mo Ling still had an expression as if his mother had died.
Accompanied by Hu Jinghui, the evil spirit came to the second hall of the Governor's Mansion and met the calm and composed Li Cunxi.
"Li Shaoyin, I have lived up to your high expectations and successfully obtained the archives of Governor Yu."
As the demon spirit spoke, he handed over Yu Lei's inventory files with both hands.
After receiving it, Li Cunxi took a quick glance at it and found that it was just as he imagined. There was no record in Yu Lei's archives about who recommended him to be an official.
Seeing this, Li Cunxi began to think about what the Wu family servant had said two nights ago.
Everything matched up, the other party did not deceive him. There were other people in this story, namely, Prince Qiancheng Wu Youji and Minister of Rites Wu Yizong, two members of the Wu family.
On the surface, the three of them were clearly not on the same side, but suddenly they found out about something that was related to all three of them.
This is very difficult for Li Cunxi to accept.
"I never thought that my uncle might be a member of the Liang Wang group."
Wu Yanhao sighed and wished he could reply immediately to let his father be on guard against Wu Yizong at all times.
"No, at most there are interests involved, which will not affect the conflict between the two sides... They are all people who want to seize the throne, and they will not form a situation of many against one. I know you Wu family too well."
Li Cunxi comforted Wu Yanhao, then stood up and walked to the table, instructing the servants to grind ink.
Although Wu Yanhao was comforted, he still had to be cautious about the capital. If Wu Yizong's attitude was not firm, it would still be a bombshell for Wu Chengsi.
The evil spirit below was terrified by what he heard.
Such a private topic, he is just one of the snake heads of a snake spirit, is he worthy of listening?
Moreover, the two people caught in the vortex didn't seem to have any intention of avoiding him.
After the servants had ground the ink, Li Cunxi began to write a letter to Wu Chengsi.
It only took two cups of tea for Li Cunxi to finish writing the letter. He leisurely blew the ink dry, put it in an envelope and handed it to Mo Ling.
"Please make another trip and make sure you deliver it to the King of Wei as soon as possible."
