Chapter 0230 Mysterious Forces

Just one hour after Lai Junchen took away the dominance of the case from Dali Temple, Sun Li rushed to Baishui Town under the leadership of the school captain Lu Jin.

At this time, in the temporary garrison of Baishui Town, Li Chongrun was telling Li Zhen what he had just heard.

"The news should be reliable. Governor Yang personally told me that the nine or ten subordinates of Lai Junchen were killed, and they were hunted at three locations, and the three locations were about ten miles apart. It's just that it was not certain whether they were killed by the same group of people?"

"How did Governor Yang get the news?"

Li Zhen pondered for a moment and asked in confusion: "Is it arranged by Ling Zun?"

"It has nothing to do with my father"

Li Chongrun smiled bitterly and said, "This is actually the guardianship of the Tang Dynasty officials against Lai Junchen. Every time he goes, he will cause bloody storms, so as long as he stays, there will be eyeliners from local officials. Yang Governor Yang is no exception. The inner part of Lingdong Town is the eyeliner he arranged."

"What about Baishui Town?" Li Zhen asked with some dissatisfaction: "Are anyone like Li Zheng staring at me?"

Li Chongrun felt that Li Zhen should care about those killed Lai Junchen's subordinates, so why are they interested in small people like Li Zheng?

But he had to answer, and could only say vaguely: "I don't know much about this, I think there shouldn't be, after all, Commander Li is different from Lai Junchen."

At this time, a warrior outside the door reported: "Prince Lu brought Sun Sicheng to the scene and said that something important happened."

"Let them come in," Li Zhenling said.

Li Chongrun was a little restless. The people from Dali Temple came. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to meet? He quickly whispered: "Do you want me to avoid it?"

"No, Sun Sicheng is his own person."

At this time, the door opened, and Lu Jin took Sun Li quickly in. As soon as he entered the door, Sun Li said anxiously: "Things are not good. Lai Junchen just found me and took the case in my hand. He will investigate it."

After saying that, Sun Licai saw Li Chongrun sitting beside him and was stunned for a moment. Why is he here too?

Li Zhen smiled, "The eldest son is the representative of His Highness Luling King to cooperate with us, so Sun Sicheng doesn't have to worry."

Li Chongrun quickly stood up and bowed to Sun Li, asking, "Is the case Sun Sicheng mentioned is the case of the face-breaking and limb-breaking case last summer?"

Sun Li nodded, "It was the case. I don't know what news Lai Junchen got, so I came to snatch the case away."

Li Chongrun looked at Li Zhen worriedly, would it be that Junchen knew the truth and began to investigate the Xingtang Association. Li Zhen seemed to ponder for a moment, then waved his hand and smiled, "Please sit down and talk."

Several people sat down and Li Zhen said to Sun Li: "The eldest son was talking to me about Lai Junchen's incident. Last night, nine of Lai Junchen's subordinates were killed in Lingdong Town."

Lu Jin next to him was experienced, and he said a little surprised: "Lai Junchen's gangsters are all skilled in martial arts. They have never been killed by nine people at the same time. It is the first time I heard of Bei Zi."

"The nine people were not massacred together, but Lai Junchen divided his fifteen subordinates into five groups to search in the forest. There were only three people in each group. As a result, three groups were ambushed last night."

Li Chongrun also interjected: "The ambushers are very mysterious, and no one saw them."

At this time, Sun Li was still scared and said, "Can they be the group of people who ambushed me in Yongqing County?"

"Actually, I think so too-" Li Zhen said slowly: "The reason why the group ambushed the officials of Dali Temple was that they hoped that we would turn our attention to Xingtang Association, but we ignored them, which made their intentions fail. Therefore, they were unwilling to give up. They failed to do so, and then they had another plan. This time, they directly ambushed Lai Junchen's people. Since Junchen's vengeful personality, how could he give up? If it was really done by the same group, Lai Junchen must have also received a bronze medal from Xingtang Association."

"Then how could Lai Junchen connect Xingtang Association with the case last year?" Li Chongrun asked in confusion.

Li Zhen glanced at Sun Li. He had never told Sun Li about the case, but now he felt it was necessary to let Sun Li know a little bit about the case, so he said to Sun Li: "The information we received last year was actually related to Wu Sansi. Those who were killed were warriors from the Wu General Hall. If I was not wrong, it should be Wu Sansi's people who found Lai Junchen and told Lai Junchen about this matter, so Lai Junchen came to seize power today."

Speaking of this, Li Zhen said to Li Chongrun again: "Although there is no evidence that the case last year was done by Xingtang Club, Lai Junchen will definitely think in this direction. If it were me, I would also think so. After all, this is a good clue and it is very doubtful."

The room became quiet, and both Li Chongrun and Sun Li were a little worried. At this time, Sun Li asked, "What do I need to do next?"

Li Zhen smiled and said, "This case was a official business sent by Dali Temple. How could Sun Sicheng give it to Lai Junchen? I can't explain it when I go back. I suggest Sun Sicheng continue to investigate the case. Lai Junchen investigates his. Let's investigate ours. Everyone will not violate the river."

Sun Li nodded. Li Zhen was right. If he gave up this major case, he would not be able to explain when he went back. He stood up and said, "Then I'll go to find Governor Yang first. He has a file on his side. I'll ask him to come."

Li Zhen said to Lu Jin: "Prince Lu will continue to assist Sun Sicheng in investigating the case, and we must pay attention to prevention."

"I understand the humble position, please rest assured"

Lu Jing bowed and hurriedly left with Sun Li. At this time, Li Chongrun sighed softly, "This Lai Junchen is indeed well-known and very smart. He stared at Xingtang Club to death. Even the Wei family's private equity warriors have nothing to do with. I am really worried that he will find something?"

Li Zhen smiled and said, "This is Lai Junchen's power. He knew that the private samurai could not touch Lingzun. At most, Wei was punished, and even the princess might not be affected. However, the Xingtang Association is different. The consequences are very serious. It can attack the entire royal family."

"But Commander Li also realized it, right?"

Li Zhen did not deny it and said with a smile: "As soon as I arrived in Fangzhou, I found someone framed it with Xingtanghui waist brand, and realized that Xingtanghui was the focus of Fangzhou's trip. Lai Junchen will notice it sooner or later, so I let Suo Wen go and gave Lai Junchen a tip, just to let Lai Junchen turn his attention to Xingtanghui in advance, and use this time difference to transfer the Wei brothers away."

Li Chongrun nodded silently. He now understood why Shangguan Wan'er valued Li Zhen so much. He was indeed very powerful. He could predict the enemy first and deploy calmly. Fortunately, he was a friend but not an enemy. With such a person, he believed that his father could escape this disaster.

Li Chongrun's confidence increased greatly, and he asked again: "What should we do next?"

Li Zhen smiled faintly and said, "Lai Junchen will investigate the major case last year, and there will be no result in a while. The key is that the group of mysterious people. I really want to see their true faces. If possible, can the eldest son let the princess take action and let the guards find out the whereabouts of these mysterious people."

Li Chongrun stood up and said, "I will go back and discuss with my mother. Whether it is successful or not, I will give the commander an answer."

Li Chongrun left and left. Li Zhen lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and re-examining all the ideas. This matter involved too much, and the information he had was not comprehensive. He was sure that Li Xian still concealed him. Once there was a loophole that he didn't know, and it happened to be discovered by Lai Junchen again, the consequences would probably be very serious.

After repeated consideration, Li Zhen felt that it was necessary to go to Xiaoen Temple again.

Night fell quietly again. The street running through the east and west of Fangling County is called Fuyang Street. There are many wealthy families in Fangzhou. Among them, there is a ten-acre official house on the west side. This is the mansion of Gu Xuanju, a Sima of Fangzhou. Gu Xuanju is from Yingchuan. He was about his early forties and has been serving as Sima of Fangzhou for three years. He was originally the county magistrate of Shangyong County. He was promoted to Sima after being highly praised by the Ministry of Personnel. He was mainly responsible for the public security of Fangzhou.

During this period, Gu Xuanju's mood was quite uneasy. He also knew that several major forces quietly entered Fangzhou, which brought him great pressure. Especially the incident of the fire drum tower in Baoguo Temple two days ago made him even more frightened. The inner guard and Shangqing Tower were in a fire and killed more than a dozen people. Even Wu Furong, the deputy commander of the inner guard, was seriously injured.

But what he worried about the most was Lai Junchen. It is said that Lai Junchen's people were ambushed in Lingdong Town last night. The murder of Wei County Magistrate two days ago was also related to Lai Junchen. Thinking about these serious incidents, the cruel officials Lai Junchen and Luling King Li Xian, and these clues were linked, so Gu Xuanju couldn't even sleep.

At this time, someone knocked on the door quickly. Gu Xuanju said a little unhappy: "Come in."

The door opened, and his wife Zhang walked in with panic on her face, "Husband, something happened to the child."

Gu Xuanju has a son and a daughter. The eldest daughter was married last year. His son Gu Qing was only thirteen years old. He studied in the state and worked very hard. He was praised by famous scholars in the state and was also Gu Xuanju's spiritual sustenance.

He was shocked when he heard something happened to his son, "What happened?"

"The child has not come back yet. I asked the housekeeper to go to the state school to find him. Dr. Wang said that the child will be back in the afternoon."

Because his son is still young, Gu Xuanju did not let him live in the provincial school. Moreover, the provincial school is very close to home. His son has to go home almost every day, but his son has not come back. He quickly comforted his wife, "Don't worry, maybe he has gone to his classmates and friends' homes, and I'll send someone to find him."

Having said that, Gu Xuanju was already panicked. He hurried to the front yard, gathered the housekeeper and servants, and asked everyone to go out to find the young master.

At this moment, the housekeeper rushed in and reported: "Master, someone came from outside, saying that he was the Beijing official, and there was something important to visit you."

Gu Xuanju was upset and had to temporarily put down his worries about his son and walked quickly to the gate. He saw a few people standing outside. The leader was a man wearing an official uniform and a black hat. He was only over thirty years old, with a medium figure and a cunning smile in his eyes.

Gu Xuanju didn't know this person, so he quickly bowed and asked, "Who is your lord?"
