Chapter 296 Liang Wangsang, it's you again
Judging from the current situation, several people related to this case have made it clear that they will no longer meet each other and will not have any secret connections.
The clues about these people were completely cut off. Even if they did not leave Dengzhou, Li Cunxi would not be able to find any clues about them.
At present, the only new clue that may lead to the case is that Yu Lei bribed someone as the old housekeeper Liu Dong said.
Bribery these days is very particular, especially when it comes to such a large sum of money. It is not difficult to find out who Yu Lei accepted the bribe from.
Realizing this, Li Cunxi and his party returned to the governor's mansion. Instead of resting, they asked around to find out who had recommended Yu Lei for the position of governor.
As long as we understand this point and combine it with the specific time when Yu Lei was promoted to governor, we can continue the investigation.
Mi Qing, who had just rested and had not yet fallen asleep completely, was called by the evil spirit from outside. He put on his official uniform and trotted all the way to the main hall of the governor's mansion to meet Li Cunxi.
"Li Shaoyin, it's so late at night, is there anything else?"
Mi Qing, who had not yet woken up, looked embarrassed. He didn't understand what questions Li Cunxi could have for him at this time.
"Brother, I'm really sorry to wake you up so late."
Li Cunxi had been tormenting Mi Qing for the entire day and felt a little embarrassed. Thinking that it was almost the Chou hour, he felt a little guilty and his tone softened.
"I dare not do that, Li Shaoyin, you should ask, no matter what my current identity is, I can't let it delay the progress of the case, right?"
"Li Shaoyin, have you found any clues?"
Mi Qing's face was full of anticipation, hoping that Li Cunxi would ask quickly so that he could go back and rest early after asking.
After all, at this time of day every day in the past, he would play chess and drink tea with Zhou Gong in his dreams.
Having your daily routine suddenly disrupted is a particularly painful thing, and it is quite difficult to get back on track.
"Brother, this is what I want to ask you. When did Yu Lei become the governor? Did anything special happen before or after he was promoted to the governor?"
Facing Li Cunxi's expectant eyes, Mi Qing didn't know how to answer for a moment.
If you want to know whether Yu Lei took any action before and after his promotion, it definitely happened.
For example, he was diligent in government and caring for the people, and worked hard to handle official affairs. These were what Yu Lei showed most vigorously at that time. In addition, Yu Lei went to Chang'an at that time and met a mysterious big man. After returning, he took over the heavy responsibility of the governor of Dengzhou.
However, the only strange thing was that after being promoted to the position of governor, Yu Lei, who had always been known for his integrity, actually secretly accepted bribes from other local wealthy businessmen. When the wealthy businessmen did not take the initiative to bribe him, he would secretly hint to the wealthy businessmen to bribe him.
Yu Lei was two completely different people before and after becoming the governor.
Recalling Yu Lei five years ago, Mi Qing finally sighed and told Li Cunxi the clues he knew.
While Mi Qing was telling the story, Wu Yanhao appeared quietly outside the door and heard everything.
Wu Yanhao, who came from a wealthy family and was already knowledgeable, immediately realized the most important information hidden in it.
It is very likely that Yu Lei's position as governor was bought!
Moreover, it was bought from a high-ranking official of the time!
But at the beginning Yu Lei didn't have so much silver to buy it, so he could only choose to meet the senior official of the dynasty first!
After getting the promise from the senior official, he successfully became the governor of Dengzhou under the recommendation of the senior official. After being promoted to the governor, Yu Lei began to accept bribes non-stop in order to achieve the purpose of bribing the senior official.
After all, they were all high-ranking officials of the dynasty. If they could persuade Wu Zetian to promote Yu Lei to the position of governor of Dengzhou, they must have the ability to get Yu Lei out of this position.
This is probably the most appropriate guess at the moment.
Li Cunxi figured this out and immediately looked up at Wu Yanhao at the door.
The two men looked at each other and immediately put forward a person who was greedy for money but had the power and ability to persuade Wu Zetian to appoint a governor.
That's right, it's you!
King Liang, Sang!
Li Cunxi walked over with a smile on his face and patted his good senior brother Mi Qing on the shoulder.
"Thank you very much, Brother. You have provided me with a very good clue. Don't worry, you will not suffer any loss this time."
Mi Qing was sent back to the house by the evil spirit with a confused look on his face, and continued his long night.
In the main hall, Li Cunxi and Wu Yanhao were still analyzing the key to the case.
Now if we want to continue investigating upwards along this clue, we must go through the Menxia Province, which is the power organ where Zhang Jianzhi is located, and transfer Yu Lei's archive files.
If Yu Lei was really recommended by Wu Sansi to become the governor, then there must be a sentence like "Recommended by Prime Minister Wu Sansi" in Yu Lei's archive files.
"Devil!"
Wu Yanhao made a prompt decision and shouted outside.
The demon spirit, who had just sent Mi Qing back, hadn't even stood up when he heard someone shouting inside. He didn't dare to complain and rushed in immediately.
"Li Shaoyin, Lord Wu, what do you want me to do?"
Li Cunxi exhaled and said solemnly:
"You are the only one who can do this. Take my official credentials and return to Luoyang as quickly as possible. Go to the Ministry of Personnel to find Zhang Gelao, retrieve Yu Lei's files, and bring them here."
After saying that, Li Cunxi took out the official seal with the seal of the Shao Yin of Henan Prefecture from his bag, which had not been officially taken out for a long time.
This is the "Imperial Book" that he would only take out when he was unable to act under the name Li Cunxi.
When he was outside, he usually called himself Li Zezhou. Only when he met people and officials who he couldn't deal with, would he say that he was Li Cunxi. If he still couldn't deal with them even after his name was revealed, he would have no choice but to reveal his real identity and fight others to the death.
General Li Cunxi brought the seal to the demon spirit and handed it to the demon spirit with both hands.
As a snake spirit, Mo Ling has an inexplicable sense of pride, but also an unrealistic feeling.
He felt that Li Cunxi seemed to treat him as a partner whom he could completely trust.
After all, since the establishment of the post of Shaoyin of Henan Prefecture, no one who has seen the seal of Shaoyin of Henan Prefecture, even during the Wu Zhou Dynasty, could find a second person who held the post of Shaoyin of Henan Prefecture, let alone being able to hold the official seal of Shaoyin of Henan Prefecture in his own hands.
The feeling of pride and unreality intertwined together, and Mo Ling was not sure whether he was Li Cunxi's man or his elder sister's trusted and beloved general.
"Li Shaoyin, how dare I hold this thing in my hands! My inner guard office can also order the gates of all prefectures and counties to be opened, and I can also order the gates of Luoyang to be opened. When I see Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang will not refuse to give me the treasury file."
After thinking it over again, Mo Ling decided to return this extremely precious thing to Li Cunxi.
