Boss Yu's head flew down and landed directly at Yuan Chengde's feet.
The head that rolled down at his feet stared at Yuan Chengde with wide eyes. The fear reflected in his pupils was unknown whether it was the remnant of Boss Yu before his death or what Yuan Chengde was showing at the moment.
"Snapped!"
Yuan Chengde slid directly from the chair to the ground and knelt down, slapping his cheeks with both hands.
"Damn the little one! The little one is so audacious! The little one has eyes but cannot see the mountain..."
At this point, Yuan Chengde had no room for quibbles, so he might as well be humble and beg for forgiveness.
What Changsun didn't expect was that when the battle came to an end, a large number of officers and soldiers poured out of the dark alley.
Wu Qing looked at these people warily, and Changsun's eyes were also solemn.
But when Changsun glanced at Yuan Chengde who was kneeling on the ground, his fearful expression proved that these officers and soldiers were not arranged by him.
Since it's not Yuan Chengde, the only person present who can have such power is...
Li Dong walked slowly to Yuan Chengde, his eyes swept over the bloody battlefield, and finally landed on Yuan Chengde's face.
"Yuan Chengde, the magistrate of Kaicheng District, led his government officials to encircle and suppress the murderer. However, the murderer was too powerful. The county government paid a heavy price and finally killed the murderer. Unfortunately, magistrate Yuan Chengde was seriously injured and died during the encirclement and suppression..."
"Master Yuan, what do you think of the record in the file? Can I polish it for you a little more?"
Li Dong said with a smile, but Yuan Chengde was so frightened that he trembled all over and became incontinent.
Yuan Chengde knelt and crawled to Li Dong's feet. He stretched out his hands but did not dare to hug his thighs. In the end, he only dared to grab a corner of Li Dong's robe and refused to let go as if he had grasped the last straw.
"Master Shangshu, I am so obsessed with my daring actions that I would not regret my death! But I am willing to work like a cow or a horse for you. As long as you can spare my life, I am willing to be your slave for generations to come..."
Li Dong looked at Yuan Chengde's miserable appearance and covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves to block out the stinky smell emanating from him.
Li Dong kicked Yuan Chengde's hand away and said with a cold snort: "You are willing to humiliate yourself and become a slave, but I am not as lawless as you!"
"Come here, arrest Yuan Chengde and wait for him to be punished!"
Chen Tian breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Li Dong did not intend to frame Lu Si like Yuan Chengde did and pour all the dirty water on Lu Si.
But before Chen Tian could completely relax, something that worried him happened.
"Sir, that... this person..."
The leading officer and soldier asked hesitantly as they looked at Lu Si, who was lying on the ground in a miserable state and looking terrible.
Li Dong glanced at Lu Si on the ground. He had lost his lower limbs and could only crawl on the ground like a disabled old dog.
There was no mercy in Li Dong's eyes, and the look in his eyes was the same as when Yuan Chengde looked at the shadow puppet turning into black ash.
"This person is a repeat offender. He not only killed many government officials in Kaicheng District tonight, but he is also an important suspect in the missing persons case in Kaicheng District. He must be closely monitored!"
As soon as Li Dong said this, Chen Tian was struck by lightning.
"Master Shangshu, what do you mean..."
Chen Tian did not fully understand the meaning of Li Dong's words for a while.
Li Dong looked at Chen Tian with a slightly complicated expression, but it only flashed past.
"This person's identity is unknown and his mind is abnormal. Not only did he seriously hurt you last night, but he also killed many county government officials tonight! Chen Chaban, do you think this is a serious crime?"
As Li Dong said, Lu Si had completely lost his mind at this time and had no idea what everyone was discussing. He just instinctively wanted to crawl into the garbage dump.
But Lu Si would not defend himself, which did not mean that Chen Tian would not be anxious for him.
"But the county government servant didn't die in his hands, it was Yuan Chengde..."
"Chen Chaban!"
Li Dongba raised his voice and interrupted the anxious Chen Tian.
Chen Tian still looked at Li Dong with a dull expression. The Li Dong he once knew was a bit crooked, but he was honest and reliable. At this time, Li Dong tried to reverse right and wrong with an unfamiliar face.
Li Dong looked at Chen Tian's appearance at this time, and finally softened a little. He knelt down and whispered: "Chen Tian, you have to remember your identity! You are a court official. You must put the overall situation first and don't act out of impulse!" "
Chen Tian still didn't understand.
"You are slow. What happened today is not that simple. Even if a small county magistrate dares to assassinate him even if he has ten courages to do so, why does he dare to do what he did today? What does this mean? I don't need to explain clearly... …”
Chen Tian nodded doubtfully.
Li Dong saw this and continued: "In this case, if such a big thing as the missing persons case in Kaicheng District is revealed, it will be equivalent to breaking the sky of the Imperial Capital! Think about what time it is now? It is the start of the New Era Cup finals On this occasion, why did Zhou Mi send you to Kaicheng District to investigate the case? Isn’t it because he wanted to survive the limelight smoothly first and then make long-term plans..."
"You have to put the overall situation first!"
Li Dong's words of "moving with emotion and understanding with reason" actually made Chen Tian hesitate for a moment.
Chen Tian looked hesitant and asked hesitantly: "Then...then Lu Si..."
Seeing that Chen Tian still had hope, Li Dong's expression gradually turned cold.
"Some sacrifices are inevitable."
"You don't need me to teach you this..."
Chen Tian's pupils shrank and he froze on the spot.
…
The night in Kaicheng District is still dark, but with the huge crowd of people returning from the government, the darkness seems to have been dispelled.
But the darkness was only driven away to the corners that people couldn't see, and... behind the government team...
Li Dong sat on the sedan, with a somewhat high-spirited expression, and said to the eldest grandson beside him in a relaxed tone: "Wang... no, Wuming..."
"Tonight is a rewarding experience."
Under the mask, the eldest grandson could not tell whether he was happy or angry, and said in a calm tone: "How do you say this?"
"Haha, tonight's action, everyone has an explanation, isn't it a success? Haha..."
It could be heard from Li Dong's tone that he was really relaxed at this moment.
Changsun didn't answer and just kept staring at Li Dong.
Seeing Changsun's silence, Li Dong thought that the other party did not understand what he meant, so he said: "Idiot Yuan Chengde really thinks that if he just pushes out a thief, the missing persons case will be solved? As the magistrate of Kaicheng District, he disappeared There is no reason to live in peace with such a large population.”
"So he, the county magistrate, will definitely not be able to escape this case, and then add Lu Si..."
"In this way, this case can be considered to have a satisfactory explanation."
Li Dong seemed to be very satisfied with his design. While talking to his eldest grandson, he stroked his goatee on his chin with his right hand.
"A satisfactory explanation...?"
The eldest grandson lowered his head and whispered softly. It was unclear whether he was questioning or approving.
Li Dong didn't pay attention and continued: "Besides, you know what's even better?"
Li Dong looked a little show off.
"Aren't you involved in a more difficult case..."
"It's the murder of a player."
Li Dong prompted.
Facing Changsun's questioning look, Li Dong explained: "The imperial court has no secrets, let alone Zhou Mina's case. Of course I know a thing or two about it."
As if he had been explained, the doubts in Changsun's eyes dissipated.
"Isn't this Lu Si the most suitable suspect in the player's murder case..."
There was obvious inducement in Li Dong's tone.
Changsun seemed to have understood something, and his eyes gradually brightened. He no longer needed Li Dong's prompting, but took the initiative to say: "The scene of the player's murder case is exactly the same as the Tang Huaian case back then. Such similar crime methods can only come from personal experience back then." The case, or the people related to the case..."
"Lu Si, a humble little thief, learned the entire story of the Tang Huaian case because of his relationship with Chen Tian..."
"Coupled with the evil thoughts in Lu Si's body, no matter whether he is related to the surviving family or not, he can no longer be separated..."
"In this way, the player's murder case also has a perfect criminal. Killing two birds with one stone is really wonderful..."
The eldest grandson's eyes became brighter as he spoke, and in the end he even couldn't help but applaud.
"Master Shangshu made a good move!"
Li Dong looked more and more proud, taking all this as a compliment to himself.
However, Changsun's tone was cold when he said the last words.
"But, like this, Chen Tian can't escape the relationship..."
Li Dong looked stunned, as if he didn't expect why Changsun would mention an insignificant person at this time.
But Changsun's words also reminded Li Dong of all the things he had spent with Chen Tian over the years.
This little thief who once opened a new district has done a lot for Zhou Mi, Liu Xinyan and himself in recent years.
Thinking of this, Li Dong's expression became a little complicated, but for a moment he returned to the decisiveness of a high-ranking person.
“Those who achieve great things don’t stick to trivial matters.”
Changsun looked at Li Dong with interest. His appearance was somewhat similar to that of Wang Shangshu, the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
"My impression of Mr. Li is not like someone who achieves great things..."
Changsun said to Li Dong teasingly.
Li Dong was stunned for a moment, then showed his once iconic smile.
"Haha, Wangcai, do you know what I admired most about you back then?"
Li Dong changed the name Wangcai to his eldest grandson, which proved that he wanted to reminisce with his eldest grandson.
"What I admire about you is not your bullshit saintly demeanor..."
Changsun shook his head helplessly. He knew that Li Dong was referring to the "Four Hengqu Sentences" he shouted during the peak battle, but at this time, his evaluation of this sentence was very "Li Dong".
This is what Li Dong looked like when he was young.
"What I really admire about you is your eye for recognizing people!"
Whether it was Wu Dakui or Yun Xuezhi back then, or Liu Xinyan, Zhou Mi and himself.
To be precise, the fate of these people changed drastically because they met the eldest grandson, and time has proven that the eldest grandson's choice was extremely correct.
This is what Li Dong wants to express.
Then Li Dong returned to his cheerful appearance, "As you said, I can't achieve anything big. In this troubled world, I can only protect myself and the people around me..."
"Chen Tian will definitely be involved in today's incident. But so what? When the matter is over, it will be easy for me, the Minister of Household Affairs, to arrange an errand for him. Why must he have to work hard at Zhou Mi's place to arrest him? quick."
Changsun glanced at Chen Tian behind him who was being escorted as a criminal, but his eyes remained on Lu Si in front.
After saying these words, Li Dong seemed to have solved one of his worries, and said in a very comfortable mood: "Wangcai, thank you for being here today, otherwise I might have been plotted against by this villain Yuan Chengde... "
Changsun chuckled and said: "You're welcome, Mr. Li, tonight's actions are all in your plan. Even if we are not here, Yuan Chengde's ending will be the same, isn't it..."
"After all, it's just an abandoned child..."
