When Li Fu and Xia Qingyu were confronting each other, Song Bo had been standing not far away and watching quietly, without stepping forward or speaking.
There was not the slightest doubt about any decision Li Fu made or any order he issued.
After everyone in the courtyard dispersed, he walked up to Li Fu and said worriedly: "Little prince, are you going too far in provoking the royal family in this way? If the emperor turns against him, with the strength of our palace in Yandi City, I’m afraid I can’t compete with the royal family!”
"Haha, no." Li Fu smiled and said confidently: "The more arrogant I act, the more unclear Xia Zhende is about the reality. Grandpa and his second uncle are leading troops outside, so he will never dare to do anything. He will only swallow his anger and remember me in his heart. But...even if I flatter him respectfully, will he let go of our backer, the palace? If we wait for the opportunity, we will still take action? Since the result is the same, it might as well be Be more wanton, even if you don’t fight against the royal family in the end, at least you’ll be happy, right?”
"This..." Song Bo said, dumbfounded: "My young prince, you are open-minded and can see clearly!"
Li Fu shrugged his shoulders, turned around and was about to go back to his room to take a nap. He continued his sweet dream that was interrupted by Xia Qingyu, but Songbo caught up with him again and reported: "Young prince, find out who colluded with Du Xiaoquan and the others. Your whereabouts were revealed."
"Oh?" Li Fu turned around and asked with some confusion: "Did you find out? So quickly?"
Last night, Li Fu showed mercy and gave Du Xiaoquan a happy treat, which meant that he had given up on continuing the investigation.
Because Du Xiaoquan used himself as bait to lure the other two people over. Du Xiaoquan was in contact with Yandi City from beginning to end, and those two people knew nothing.
But Li Fu didn't care much about it. Anyway, the forces in this huge Yandi City were complicated and complex, just like a sieve. There were too many people who could leak information about him, and there were even more people who wanted to kill him. After all, it was collusion. Du Xiaoquan is actually not important at all.
Unexpectedly, after just one night, Song Bo investigated the results.
Songbo nodded and replied: "I found out...According to the two rat-tailed remnants of the Banshan Sect, because your assassination of the young prince is of great importance, they were afraid that they would be disposed of after being used, so they stayed longer. I secretly followed Du Xiaoquan once, and found out that the person who came into contact with Du Xiaoquan was a person from the Taishi Mansion, Ye Qing's subordinate!"
Ye Qing's men?
Li Fu raised his eyebrows, feeling a little unexpected, but it seemed to be reasonable.
Ye Qing was disgraced by him at Shihua Shuilou, and since he had some relationship with Du Chaowen, it seemed reasonable that he would contact Du Xiaoquan and reveal information to her.
But...why do you feel that this information was obtained so easily?
Isn't Ye Qing too stupid? Just find a few warriors from the Third Realm of Middle School to assassinate you, and then expose your background and identity?
Seeing Li Fu's doubts, Song Bo continued: "I used tricks on those two people to make sure that what they told was the truth. But I suspect that someone might be causing trouble and putting the blame on Ye Qing. Of course. , and we don’t rule out the possibility that it was Ye Qing himself who created the suspicion... Little prince, what do you think we should do about this?"
"What should I do?" Li Fu sneered and said: "I am a good young man who is loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and abiding by the law. If he caught such a treasonous person who colluded with the rat-tailed remnants, he would naturally hand it over to the court and deal with it impartially! It’s not us who should think about what to do, but the Grand Master’s Mansion. Go ahead and send those two rat-tailed remnants of the Banshan Cult to the palace and ask the Emperor for a ruling! You must seek justice for me! "
Hearing this, Song Bo showed a look of surprise and quickly responded: "Yes!"
"Alas... what a troubled time it has been! There are the rat-tailed remnants who assassinated the king, and there are the gangsters who kidnapped the eldest princess and broke into the palace. Why can't we just calm down? This Yandi City is probably going to be in chaos!" Li Fu sighed with emotion. After talking for a while, he fell on the bed and fell asleep again.
A few days ago, after it was reported that Li Fu killed Du Chaowen on the Shihuashui Tower, it caused quite a stir!
Although because of the huge power of the backing palace, in the end it had to be left alone. However, many people still criticized Li Fu in private, calling him a bully, a ruthless devil, a national thief who killed Zhongliang in vain, and a "city tyrant" who ran rampant in Yandi City.
Obviously, no one thought from the bottom of their hearts that Du Chaowen was really a rat-tailed remnant of the Banshan Cult. They only thought that Li Fu Zhengfeng was jealous and slapped him with a big label.
As a result, when the news about Du Xiaoquan's assassination of Li Fu came out, the whole city was in an uproar!
People who had supported Li Fu in the past were very proud.
Those who had "slandered" Li Fu were ashamed.
At this time, Du Chaowen was completely nailed to the pillar of shame!
Especially when the patron palace sent two of Du Xiaoquan's associates to the palace, accusing the Grand Master's third grandson Ye Qing of colluding with the rat-tailed remnants of the Banshan Sect and providing them with information about Li Fu's whereabouts, it was like a stone that stirred up a thousand layers. Lang, let rumors spread in the city!
Some people say that Ye Qing had colluded with Du Chaowen early on. Didn't they see that they were sitting together at Shihua Shui Tower that day? It must be a close friendship!
Others say that not only Ye Qing, but also Grand Master Ye Zhaoxuan has defected to the Banshan Sect. Just because the Grand Master was jealous of the achievements of the patron king and dissatisfied that the patron king was dominating him in everything, he would rather collude to conspire to overthrow the patron prince's palace!
Some people even say that the emperor will definitely protect the grand master and Ye Qing, because even the emperor is afraid of the achievements of the patron king, and regards the patron king's palace as a thorn in his side, and wants to get rid of him as soon as possible!
These bold remarks were circulated in the market. Needless to say, Li Fu had the palace secretly spread them all!
It is best to guide the minds of the people. Li Fu is simply familiar with the method of using public opinion information to manipulate people's hearts!
Finally, after investigation, it was found that Taishi Mansion and Ye Qing were indeed framed. Someone bribed Ye Ying, the steward of Taishi Mansion, to contact Du Xiaoquan in the name of Ye Qing and pass on Li Fu's whereabouts.
When such results were announced, there was an instant uproar!
Everyone didn't believe that this was the truth. They all felt that the emperor was protecting the Taishi's Palace and targeting the palace of his patron.
For a time, the royal family and the Taishi Mansion were directly roasted on the volcano!
The prestige of the imperial court was greatly damaged!
"Snapped!"
In the Yangxin Hall in the palace, the sound of a tea cup being thrown to the ground was heard, followed by Xia Zhende's roar: "Check! Go check it for me! This is definitely not the method of that young boy Li Fu! Let's see who it is, in Give support to the palace! Find him out, I will cut him into pieces!"
In the Grand Master's Mansion.
Ye Qing, who was grounded at home, sat in the room and paced back and forth. He was not as angry as outsiders imagined. He just said to himself in great confusion: "How could Ye Ying be bribed to betray me? He shouldn't be anyone. The informants placed in the palace by powerful forces cannot be bribed with money... No! It's all wrong... Ye Ying shouldn't betray me, Du Chaowen shouldn't die, Li Fu shouldn't have an affair with the eldest princess... There's a problem, it's this Li There’s another problem!”
Backer palace.
"Is this the person Ye Qing has contacted and attracted in recent times?"
Li Fu held a list in his hand, with their identities marked behind each name. There were descendants of important officials in the imperial court, scholars like Du Chaowen who had not yet achieved fame, and even some low-level officials.
After looking at the list from beginning to end, Li Fu threw the list back to the shadow guard in front of him and ordered: "Kill none of these people. Just take your time, try to create surprises, don't assassinate directly, so as not to attract too much attention." People pay attention. Then continue to monitor Ye Qing and record all his movements meticulously without any omissions! "
"Yes!" Shadow Guard responded.
