Naturally, the prince would not object to this matter, and did not even ask any questions. Anyway, these assassins themselves were wanted to be caught. Now that Li Hao was willing to take the initiative, it would save him the trouble of arranging others.
With the consent of the prince, after Li Hao left the East Palace, he arranged for people to directly interview people around the Tingwei Mansion and thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of these assassins.
Of course, the things promised to the prince had to be done, so on the other hand, Li Hao had people prepare two boxes of gold toe and sent them to the East Palace openly and honestly.
After sending the things away, Li Hao set off for Tingwei Mansion to express condolences on behalf of the prince and see if they needed anything.
In fact, the prince originally planned to come in person and redeploy some troops to them to strengthen the defense of Tingwei Mansion.
However, Ling Buyi was dissuaded, saying that there had just been a fight here, and it was unknown whether there were assassins hiding in the dark, so he asked the prince not to take risks easily.
In addition, due to his distrust of outsiders, Ling Buyi also rejected the proposal to redeploy troops and horses, saying only that there were not many casualties last night and there was no need to send additional manpower.
After seeing Ling Buyi and Yuan Shen, Li Hao asked, "The prince asked me to come over and have a look. Is there anything you need help with?"
While talking, Li Hao looked around the surrounding environment and found that there was no change here. There were only a few blood stains to prove that there had been fighting here.
Therefore, he sighed: "But now it seems that those assassins didn't make any big noise last night!"
Yuan Shen replied: "Indeed, not really. General Ling arranged it properly, and the assassins were killed and retreated before they even rushed into the inner courtyard. If they hadn't retreated quickly when they saw the opportunity, I'm afraid not a single one of them would have been able to escape."
"By the way, those who escaped have been found now." Yuan Shen then asked about the whereabouts of those who escaped. Of course, the most important thing was to ask Li Hao about Fifty percent, but in front of Ling Buyi It’s hard to ask directly.
Li Hao naturally understood Yuan Shen's thoughts and answered: "The prince has left this investigation matter to me. Now I have sent people out to explore the whereabouts of these people, but there is no result yet.
However, there was such a big fire outside Tingwei's house last night, which alarmed the surrounding people. It is not difficult to find clues, so don't worry. "
Yuan Shen was naturally relieved when he heard that Li Hao was investigating.
However, Ling Buyi asked at this time: "As for the fire outside, can you now determine what caused it?"
Li Hao replied: "This matter is currently under investigation by the Luoyang Order. It has been confirmed that the three fires last night were all caused by man-made fires. However, the people behind the scenes have not been able to find out the results yet.
Moreover, in connection with the attack on Tingwei's Mansion, Luoyang Ling also felt that someone might have let it go to disrupt the situation, and was starting from this aspect. "
Seeing that there was no problem with the investigation idea, Ling Buyi was relieved and immediately planned to leave and continue to keep an eye on Peng Kun.
Seeing that Ling Buyi was about to leave, Li Hao hurriedly asked again: "You haven't said yet, do you want my help? If not, I will leave now."
"No, Tingwei Mansion has enough manpower now, no need to add more." After saying that, Ling Buyi left directly.
Seeing Ling Buyi like this, Li Hao just let it go. He was the one who made the decision here anyway.
Then he told Yuan Shen a few words, asking him to pay attention to his safety, take his guards with him and never go alone.
Li Hao naturally had good intentions, but when Yuan Shen heard it, he was not so happy.
He immediately replied: "What you said, I was able to fight those assassins with my sword yesterday without falling behind. How could I be like what you said?"
"Okay, consider it a mistake on my part." Regarding Yuan Shen's arrogance, Li Hao didn't say any more. After all, Yuan Shen was not a person who easily got hot-blooded, so there was no need to worry too much.
After speaking, Li Hao left Tingwei's Mansion and turned to look for those who were tracking the assassin's whereabouts nearby.
Not to mention, their pursuit was really effective. Some of the people who came out to put out the fire in the surrounding mansions last night actually discovered their escape direction.
So Li Hao led his men to pursue them all the way, and before it got dark, they had already determined their location.
The last place to hide.
In order to be able to take them down in one fell swoop, Li Hao did not act without permission. Instead, he asked the prince for help. He transferred a guard from the East Palace to assist and surrounded the courtyard with water before taking action officially.
While waiting, Li Hao asked someone to go to Luoyang Lingna to check to see whose property this house belonged to.
But the result is not too unexpected. It is true that the brains of bad guys nowadays are basically very good, and they will not put the house used for doing bad things in their name.
According to the records of the government office, the owner of this house is a wealthy businessman from Jingzhou, but there is no detailed information.
The investigation in this area had no results, so Li Hao began to attack, but this time the attack was called unimpeded, and no one came to stop him.
Because the courtyard was completely deserted at this time, even after searching everything, no one could be found.
Seeing this situation, some people questioned whether they were looking in the wrong place. The assassins who escaped did not escape here at all.
But after careful observation, Li Hao said: "No, those people should have been here last night. The courtyard looks clean and tidy, but there are still traces of fighting.
For example, these pillars, although they have been deliberately daubed, can still be seen with marks from swords and swords, and they should be newly made. "
After confirming his judgment, Li Hao asked several people to go around to inquire about the situation and see if there were any new discoveries.
The others, together with the East Palace Guards who were called in, all came in and rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in search of clues, not missing any inch.
This search soon yielded results. Someone found a place in a side yard where the soil was very loose, as if it had just been dug.
After the report came up, Li Hao asked someone to dig out with a shovel to see what was inside.
Then more than a dozen corpses were discovered. They looked like the group of people who attacked Tingwei's Mansion yesterday.
At that moment, Li Hao had people carry out all the corpses to check them one by one to see if there were fifty percent among them.
If anything, it would save Li Hao a lot of worry, at least he wouldn't have to face Yuan Pei's attacks.
Unfortunately, the result disappointed Li Hao. After looking at all the corpses, there was no fifth percentile among them. Li Hao couldn't help but sigh that this guy was really tough.
Immediately, Li Hao asked someone to go to Tingwei's mansion and ask them to send someone who had met the killer last night to confirm whether he was the killer or not.
After the Tingwei Mansion got the news, Ling Buyi asked Yuan Shen to send someone over because Yuan Shen's people and the gang had been fighting at close quarters for a long time.
In order to facilitate the spread of the news, Yuan Shen asked Yuan Wo to go there in person, and finally confirmed that these people had indeed attacked Tingwei's Mansion yesterday.
After confirming the situation, Li Hao immediately issued an order for everyone to continue searching the house to see if they could find a secret passage or something like that.
After all, if you want to kill all these people and dig holes and bury them, even if this group of people is unprepared, it will take a lot of manpower.
But no one noticed that they left. Of course, it might be a simple coincidence, but Li Hao still believed that there was a tunnel or a secret room in this mansion, which was very likely.
After arranging things, Li Hao asked Yuan Wo to return to Tingwei Mansion, tell Ling Buyi and Yuan Shen what happened here, and continue to perform his duty of protecting Yuan Shen to prevent him from getting hurt.
After Ling Buyi heard that these people had been silenced, he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "It's really cruel and ruthless, it really seems like his style."
Yuan Shen overheard this and asked curiously: "What are you talking about? Whose style is it?"
"It's nothing, just a sigh of relief." Ling Buyi explained, and then warned: "The real culprit behind the scenes is so straightforward, I guess he must be determined to win Peng Kun.
You and I must be careful next. Before we get the truth from Peng Kun, that person may take action again at any time. "
"Don't worry, I will be careful." Yuan Shen did not take his previous words to heart and agreed immediately.
Then Ling Bu
The doubt left again, and Yuan Shencai asked again: "Aren't there fifty percent among those corpses?"
Yuan Wo replied: "No, I just don't know now whether Fifty percent did not go with this group of people, or whether he escaped after the fight.
But you don’t have to worry, the Second Young Master is still investigating, and even the fifth percentile won’t be able to run very far. "
Yuan Shen did not speak when he heard this, but nodded slightly to express his approval of Yuan Wo's words, and then waved him to go about his business.
On Li Hao's side, after a violent demolition of two large houses, the secret passage that Li Hao wanted to find was finally discovered.
It is said that sometimes, the use of violence can indeed solve the problem conveniently. Otherwise, if you need to find the agency, God knows when you will find it.
But unfortunately, this secret passage only leads to a house in another nearby market, which is also completely vacant, and the owner of the house is a wealthy businessman from Yanzhou.
Not only does it have nothing to do with Ling Yi, it also has nothing to do with the owner of the previous house.
After asking the surrounding people, no one knew whether anyone came in or out of the house last night. At this point, the clues in Li Hao's hands were broken.
With no choice, Li Hao could only arrange for people to continue demolishing the house to see if there were secret passages, secret rooms, or any new clues.
But in the end, Li Hao also came back disappointed. After a day of checking, he didn't make much progress. Instead, he demolished several houses and did some forced demolition work.
However, what Li Hao did today was not completely useless, at least it shocked Ling Yi and the others.
"Fortunately, the Marquis reacted quickly and let the group of people leave directly, otherwise things would have been terrible if Yuan Ang had blocked him in that house.
But this Yuan Ang is really capable, and he was able to find the second house so quickly. "A close confidant of Ling Yi sighed to Ling Yi after hearing what he had done today.
"Yes, Yuan Ang is really quite capable and should not be underestimated." Ling Yi nodded and admitted, but then turned around and said, "But the most important thing now is how to shut up Peng Kun. Only Only after we have done this well can we think about the future.”
The people present at this question looked at each other in confusion. After all, after these two actions, Ling Buyi would definitely become more cautious in his defenses. They really didn't have much else to do for a while.
Seeing the people below like this, Ling Yi was a little helpless, because he himself couldn't think of a way.
In the silence, someone suddenly said: "Since Ling Zicheng is difficult to deal with, why not find a way to transfer him out of Tingwei's mansion?"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him as if he were a fool: "He is staring at this guy and staying in Tingwei Mansion all day long. How can he be transferred away?"
The person replied: "Everyone has weaknesses, and Ling Zicheng naturally has them too. For example, what if something happens to Xinghua Villa?"
Everyone's eyes lit up at this moment, but then they all looked at Ling Yi at the same time. After all, the person living in Xinghua Villa was Ling Buyi's biological mother, who was also Ling Yi's former wife.
If he wanted to attack her, Ling Yi would have to make his own decision.
But obviously Ling Yi really didn't take this seriously, and without hesitation at all, he decided directly: "Then attack Xinghua Villa so that Zicheng has to go there to save people. This may be our last chance." If you have the opportunity, you must plan it properly.
After all, after what happened last night, there will definitely be martial law in the capital tonight, so we must plan carefully and use all the people who can be used, and we must not miss again. "
After hearing this, everyone agreed and immediately went down to arrange the matter, because there was not much time available now.
Just when they were about to leave, Ling Yi warned again: "But you have to pay attention, Huo Junhua's identity is extraordinary after all. Don't really kill her unless you have to, you know?"
The purpose of Ling Yi's words was not to think about the past relationship between husband and wife. After all, after so many years, he had become extremely disgusted with Huo Junhua.
He did this just because he didn't want to cause trouble and make Ling Buyi go completely crazy. He now felt sorry for Ling Buyi in his heart.
I still have feelings.
Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this. Maybe they didn't expect Ling Yi to say this, but no one dared to ask again. They just nodded and left.
As for Yuan Shen, who was in charge of the Tingwei Mansion, no one, including Ling Yi, paid much attention to it. After all, he did not have experience in leading troops and deploying troops.
And if you want to do something against him, you probably have to go to Yuan Mansion, but Li Hao is in Yuan Mansion at night, and he has many Qu servants at his disposal, who have been battle-hardened for a long time.
Firstly, they don't have much confidence that they can handle it. Secondly, with Li Hao here, if there is any movement, Yuan Shen may not go back.
If this is the case, it is better to concentrate on manpower, so that the chance of success can be greater.
After everyone left, Ling Yi still sat there for a long time without leaving, because now he really felt the danger.
Naturally, Li Hao and Ling Buyi didn't know about Ling Yi's operations. After a busy day in vain, he took advantage of the curfew before it was over.
So he went to Wang Chun's Cavalry General's Mansion again, told the prince what he had discussed, and asked him to donate a sum of money and food to the prince in the next two days.
When Wang Chun heard that he was doing something for the prince, he naturally would not refuse and directly promised to send someone there tomorrow.
