Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2198

The wind in late spring is like the tenderness of a lover.

Warm, warm.

Chang'an City was still full of people coming and going, and the people of Jinyiwei were still searching for clues.

On the side of Prince Jin's Mansion, Li Zhi's people were also staring at Jin Yiwei.

"My lord, the people from Jinyiwei are investigating those craftsmen."

Li Zhi nodded: "If so many people die or disappear all of a sudden, Jin Yiwei will definitely be suspicious, and even they all believe that this king did it, but as long as there is no evidence, Jin Yiwei will have nothing to do with me."

After saying this, his confidant's face became slightly ugly. After Li Zhi found out, his eyes froze immediately, and he asked, "Why, what do you have to hide from me?"

The confidant hesitated for a moment, but then he said: "My lord, among so many craftsmen, there is one named Wang Laoliu who is more clever. Before we killed him, he heard the news and ran away. We thought he was the only one, so we didn't dare to tell the prince, who would have thought that the mechanism on the city wall would be discovered so quickly."

After the man finished speaking, Li Zhi immediately became furious and kicked him.

"Kill me, you hurt this king, you hurt this king, why didn't you say it at the beginning?"

The man was kicked to the ground by Li Zhi, but at this moment he was trembling all over and dared not speak more.

"Then is there anyone else in Wang Laoliu's family? Keep an eye on them. Once that Wang Laoliu shows up, be sure to kill him."

"Don't worry, my lord. We have always sent someone to watch Wang Lao Liu's house. As long as he dares to show up, we will keep him dead without a burial place."

Li Zhi was not in a good mood, so he just waved his hand and said, "Get out."

The man retreated in a hurry, but Li Zhi began to worry.

There is a change, what he fears most is that there will be a change, and now there are still craftsmen alive, once that Wang Laoliu is found by the people of Jin Yiwei, wouldn't it be bad?
Of course, he didn't preside over this matter, it was his cronies who came into contact with those people, but it's hard to guarantee that the king of Jin won't find out the truth, find his cronies, find his cronies, wouldn't it be possible to suspect Come on him?
He had to kill that confidant, even if he was his confidant, he had to die.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi hurriedly found someone.

"Yu Bao was killed, and his body has to be disposed of without any trace."

Hearing that Yu Bao was going to be killed, the man trembled a bit, because Yu Bao was a cronies of King Li Zhi of Jin, they all knew this, but now, is Li Zhi even going to kill his cronies?

In that case, once they are useless, wouldn't they be killed by Li Zhi casually?
He was very scared, but he had to obey Li Zhi's order, so he had to accept the order quickly.
-
Yu Bao is a small official in the Ministry of Industry. He is not valued at all on weekdays, and he is not well-known in the Ministry of Industry. He is a very transparent person.

And people like him are the cronies of King Li Zhi of Jin,

Very early on, Li Zhian was inserted into the Ministry of Industry.

When Li Zhi was about to tamper with the city wall, a transparent official like him came in handy.

However, he has always been a little worried about this kind of thing, especially after the craftsmen in charge of this matter were killed one after another, he became more and more uneasy.

Now that the matter was revealed, and Jin Yiwei thoroughly investigated the matter, he was actually a little nervous, especially nervous. He hadn't slept well for two days.

So much so that he is a little tired now, and he seems very listless when working in the Ministry of Industry.

On this day, as soon as he arrived at the Ministry of Industry, an official from the Ministry of Industry called him over.

"Jin Yiwei asked you to understand the situation."

After hearing this, Yu Bao's first reaction was that Jin Yiwei had found him, and if Jin Yiwei had followed him, he would basically have a bad life, right?
He wants to kill himself.

But if he committed suicide, he wouldn't be able to do such a cruel thing, but after being investigated by Jin Yiwei, Jin Wang Li Zhi couldn't vent his anger on his family?

He looked a little dazed.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up, Jin Yiwei is waiting, let them wait for a long time, you will feel better."

Yu Bao quickly responded, and then trotted to the front with the man, where a thousand households from Jin Yiwei were already waiting for him.

That Qianhu glanced at Yu Bao and asked, "You were responsible for the construction of the part of the city wall that was tampered with, right?"

Yu Bao's forehead was covered with cold sweat, but he still nodded: "Yes...it's me."

"The craftsmen who built the city wall either died or disappeared. Do you know about this?"

"This……"

Jin Yiwei Qianhu's tone turned cold, and said, "Tell the truth."

"I know." Facing Jin Yiwei's people, even if Yu Bao was a close friend of Jin Wang Li Zhi, he still felt frightened and dared not hide it.

"Since you know, why didn't you report it to the court? Could it be related to you?"

There seemed to be a murderous look in the eyes of Jin Yiwei Qianhu, Yu Bao slightly raised his head and glanced at it. At that moment, he suddenly felt that death was not terrible.

If you die, you don't have to worry about anything. The most important thing is that your family is safe.

There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "This matter is indeed related to me, not only it is related, but also I did it."

Yu Bao admitted it like this. Seeing this, Qianhu of Jinyiwei was stunned for a moment, a little unbelievable. You must know that they had worked so hard for this case, but they actually caught the person behind the scenes like this ?
This Jinyiwei Qianhu is not an idiot either, he knows that Yu Bao is just a small official from the Ministry of Industry, and a small one will not be noticed at all, why does such a person want to tamper with the city wall?

Obviously, Yu Bao is just a scapegoat, and there is a mastermind behind this matter.

However, even though he understood this, he didn't point it out. Instead, he pretended to be very angry and said, "Okay, so this matter was all done by you alone. If that's the case, then follow us to Jinyiwei."

As he said that, this Jinyiwei Qianhu gestured to the people next to him. After the two Jinyiwei understood, they rushed over and Yubao was restrained. Such a person would easily commit suicide. They You have to keep him under control.

"Take it away." Jinyiwei Qianhu still has a lot of things to ask, but they must not ask in this Ministry of Industry, they must go to Jinyiwei, as long as people who enter Jinyiwei, there is nothing they can't ask.

But just as they took Yu Bao to leave the Ministry of Industry, outside the Ministry of Industry, a man saw Yu Bao being taken away by Jin Yiwei, but his expression suddenly froze, secretly thinking that something was wrong.

Immediately afterwards, he hurried to the Prince Jin's Mansion.
