Chapter 565 The traitor is the butler Yuan Lu!
At the same time, in the main hall of Prince Ying’s Mansion.
Butler Yuan Lu still kept his head down and remained silent, but he did not realize that his head of the family, Yuan Qi, had already cast his eyes on him.
"There must be an undercover agent among us. He went to tip off Li Cunxi!"
"This undercover agent hiding next to us knows every move we make. Who is he?"
Yuan Qi gritted his teeth, his eyes grim.
Long Feng hurriedly said: "Master, you know me. I have never been proud of my achievements, but today I have to say that I have worked hard for the Iron Hand Group!"
When Hu Yun saw that his elder brother Long Feng had expressed his loyalty, he did not dare to be negligent and hurried forward.
"Master, I feel the same way!"
Yuan Qi didn't doubt them at all and just waved his hand when he heard this.
"I believe you."
"But who is this undercover agent?"
"There are several people who know about the expedition against Crouching Tiger Village, but only four people know about the expedition against Ge Tianba!"
Yuan Qi's gaze swept across Long Feng and Hu Yun, and then fell on Yuan Lu.
Long Feng and Hu Yun reacted immediately and looked at Yuan Lu.
Yuan Lu has followed Yuan Qi for more than 20 years and is loyal to him. If he is Li Cunxi's undercover agent, then Li Cunxi must have known the internal situation of the Iron Hand Group very clearly, right?
"I need a reasonable explanation, Yuanlu."
Yuan Qi slowly drew his sword, his eyes ferocious.
"I am innocent." Yuan Lu, who was named, quickly raised his head and tried to defend himself.
"Are you wronged?"
Yuan Qi came in front of Yuan Lu.
"If I remember correctly, before you invited Li Cunxi and others to the banquet at Prince Ying's Mansion, Li Cunxi had no idea what was happening outside the city."
"And after you invited Li Cunxi to the banquet, hundreds of water ghosts in Beigou Warehouse were slaughtered that night."
"Yuanlu, Yuanlu, how can I trust you? How can you explain the reason?"
Yuan Lu immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Yes!
This is such a fucking coincidence!
But on the night when he invited Li Cunxi to the banquet, all the water ghosts in Beigou Warehouse were killed.
Li Cunxi's imperial guards cannot do this, but that does not mean that the power under Li Cunxi's hands cannot do this.
Yuan Qi, I figured it out!
"This this……"
Yuan Lu stuttered and couldn't say anything.
Yuan Qi was unyielding and took a step forward, ready to stab Yuan Lu to death with one knife.
"Wait, Sect Master!"
Long Feng suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped Yuan Qi.
"This matter has not yet been concluded, and there are still many strange things. How can we make a conclusion so easily?"
"We have fought with Li Cunxi several times. Whether it's Hu Jinghui, Li Yuanfang, or the demon spirit and the shadow, they are all from the Qianniu Guard and the Inner Guard Palace!"
"When the Qianniu Guards and the Inner Guards kill people, they have never cut them to pieces!"
"So, in my opinion, there must be a lot of weirdness in this matter."
Before Yuan Qi could question him, Long Feng spoke out his own judgment.
Of course, the main reason was to confuse the public and prevent Yuan Qi from associating the dead water ghosts in Beigou Warehouse with Li Cunxi.
As for Yuan Lu, the housekeeper of Prince Ying's Mansion...
Long Feng has never seen a situation where after Yuan Qi suspects someone, that person still has a chance to survive.
"That is to say, the water ghost in Beigou Dacang might not have been killed by someone sent by Li Cunxi?"
Yuan Qi frowned and stopped what he was doing.
"That's right. We did send people out to investigate Li Cunxi, but the information we got showed that Li Cunxi didn't have such a vicious group of bone-cutting killers under his command."
After saying that, Long Feng very considerately stepped aside.
Yuan Qi raised his sword and cut the innocent Yuan Lu in half.
"Humph, even if Li Cunxi didn't kill the water ghost in Beigou Dacang, it must be this evil creature who tipped off Li Cunxi."
"I heard that this evil creature gave nearly ten thousand taels of silver to the demon spirit of the inner guard palace under Li Cunxi."
"Now it seems that this is a stepping stone for Li Cunxi to advance."
"Now that the thief is dead, I feel at ease."
"Now let's talk about it. What should we do next?"
Hu Yun finally got the chance to speak and quickly took two steps forward.
Next, he must come up with a brilliant plan to make Yuan Qi look at him with admiration.
"Huyun, tell me."
"Yes, Sect Master." Hu Yun held his head high and puffed out his chest. "In my opinion, even if Li Cunxi can dig out the body, what can he do to us?"
"Oh, what do you mean?" Yuan Qi put down his knife and prepared to listen to Hu Yun's profound remarks.
"Master, don't forget, those are the two owners of Crouching Tiger Manor and more than a hundred family servants. They are the largest evil force in Yangzhou. Li Cunxi is posting a notice looking for the victim, who dares to go to the government office?"
"Well, that's a good point, keep going."
"Yes, Sect Master. The remnants of Crouching Tiger Village are struggling to survive, so how dare they go to claim the bodies? Yun Gu is one of us, and she will never go."
"That's right, Hu Yun, you see things clearly, go on."
Hu Yun pulled himself together and continued, "Since they don't dare to claim the body, how can Li Cunxi start investigating? Only when someone tells him that it is someone from Crouching Tiger Manor, will he focus his attention on Crouching Tiger Manor."
"Well said! And then?"
"We can order the third and fourth brothers to take their people out in advance to search for the whereabouts of the people in Crouching Tiger Manor and kill them all. Only then can we be at ease. I'm afraid Li Cunxi will only find an empty Crouching Tiger Manor and won't find anything."
Yuan Qi looked at Hu Yun with satisfaction, thinking that Hu Yun had become so smart.
He has not trained Hu Yun in recent years, so it is obvious who Hu Yun's improvement came from.
It must be Long Feng’s teaching!
The ancient saying "He who keeps company with vermilion becomes red, and he who keeps company with ink becomes black" is truly a vivid demonstration of this!
"You are becoming smarter and smarter. I am very pleased. You should stay with Long Feng more and learn more in the future."
Hu Yun cupped his hands: "I understand!"
Long Feng smiled but said nothing.
Spend more time with him?
Sect Leader, you have found a better way for Hu Yun to die.
The Han Canal boat capsizing case is about to end. Aren't you bringing me a huge credit?
He glanced at Hu Yun and thought to himself, "Brother, please don't blame me. We each serve our own masters. I will make your death comfortable when the time comes."
Yuan Qi walked back to his seat with his hands behind his back and sat down.
"Everything you just said is correct, except for one thing you missed."
"You forgot that Yun Gu has a twin sister, Ge Yaqing!"
"Although this girl has a bad relationship with her family and left home early, the moment she sees her father's body, she will definitely collect the body for Ge Tianba."
"By then... I'm afraid that will be the time when Li Cunxi touches us."
"So, go bring Ge Yaqing back and give him to Yun Gu."
