Chapter 77: The First Imperial EdictChapter 662 Hey! You, woman!
The old man said urgently, "Your Highness, I'm certain that Xu Wei is definitely problematic. He has left the palace several times without explanation and disappeared without a trace. Although he always had an excuse every time, I am sure his excuses are all false. This person has a big problem!"
Li Yinhu impatiently looked at the elder and said, "Your Highness knows very well that he has a mistress outside. Isn't it normal for men to have a woman they like If it were you, would you flaunt your escapades with women everywhere"
Li Yinhu's retort left the old man speechless, but he still said, "Please, Your Highness, give me some time, and I will definitely find out his problem."
"You should first find out which prince is supporting Long Huaiyu behind the scenes."
Li Yinhu waved his hand dismissively and said impatiently, "That's enough, get out of here. You lot never give this king a moment's peace."
The old man opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing. He sighed and left the study.
Late that night, Li Chen was once again woken from his sleep.
Despite the burning sensation in his eyelids, Li Chen still took the top-secret intelligence from Chen Tong's hands.
After carefully reading through the intelligence report delivered by Xu Wei, Li Chen's sleepiness vanished instantly.
Here, it mainly talks about two things.
It concerns a major event that Li Yinhu and Long Huaiyu carried out tonight, as well as their subsequent actions and the support from the Princes.
The other thing is that Xu Wei felt like he was about to be exposed and asked Li Chen for help coming up with a plan.
Li Chen raised his hand and burned the intelligence in the candlelight. After a moment's thought, he smiled and said: "This younger brother of mine has made progress, hasn't he"
Chen Tong bowed respectfully at the side, not daring to make a sound.
Chen Tong's body stiffened, and he adopted a listening posture.
Li Chen said to Chen Tong: "First, investigate the major banks in Beijing. Moving 100,000 taels of silver at once isn't simple. See which bank has made these two transactions recently, and find out who is behind them."
"The second point is that, according to Xu Wei, there should be one or a group of people helping King Zhao. These people were said to have very high martial arts skills and mysterious backgrounds, acting as King Zhao's trump card."
"Recently, this group seems to suspect Xu Wei and is investigating. You tell the Dongchang to clean up Xu Wei's background first, and then see if you can find information about this group. If there's an opportunity, deal with them."
Chen Tong bowed and said, "Your humble servant obeys your orders."
"Go."
After seeing Chen Tong off, Li Chen couldn't fall asleep either.
After pondering over Li Yinhu's stroke of genius tonight, Li Chen found himself increasingly intrigued.
Li Yinhu's move was something he hadn't anticipated.
Furthermore, the appearance of Long Huaiyu and his mysterious master made Li Chen feel that behind the scenes of the Beijing situation, there was an unseen big hand stirring up the storm.
And the origin of this big hand is most likely from ambitious vassal kings.
But who was the prince
King Ning or King Wen
Or some other more understated ones
I don't have any ideas yet.
Thinking this way, Li Chen, who had lost his sleep, walked out of Xizheng Hall. Looking at the sky which was already turning light blue, he faced the slightly cool morning air and planned to take a stroll to breathe in some fresh air. It was almost time for him to go to court.
"Hey! That bitch!"
Li Chen's shocking shout woke Gong Huiyu.
The brilliance in her eyes, from the initial confusion to the later coldness, directly stared at Li Chen, cold enough to freeze him.an was startled by Li Chen's murderous gaze. She said angrily, "Your Highness, you haven't greeted this palace, and you are late for today's matter of paying respects to your father. Don't you have a...
