The prince is very cruel
Chapter 42
Lu Guangyi had already said this, and there was nothing to say, so he said: "It might be... the Zhao family."
"Why?"
"Lord Chang is from the Ministry of Revenue and holds considerable prestige within the ministry. Two months before the incident, he proposed reducing military pay in Guangdong and Guangxi at a court meeting, and pointed out the problem of excessive unpaid military pay in Guangdong and Guangxi, and the extremely unreasonable military spending in those regions."
"I think it's because of this incident. You have to know that Zhao Yi was not originally from the Zhao family, and his relatives were far away from him. Since that incident, he has risen to prominence and is supported by Zhao Tai."
"Take a closer look and you'll see the reason for yourself."
Guan Ning didn't say anything, but Lou Xinyue's eyes were extremely cold, like a thousand-year-old iceberg. The face under the bamboo hat did not hide the murderous intent at all. It turned out that there was such a grudge!
It seems that Zhao Tai and Zhao Yi are not free from responsibility!
"I have told you everything I can. I hope you can abide by the agreement and keep the secret for me. You must also help Xiaoer enter the officialdom, so that he can at least have a chance!" Lu Guangyi said seriously. Knowing that he had no hope of making a comeback in this life, he placed his hopes on his son.
Guan Ning nodded: "I mean what I say!"
"I haven't been here today."
"I understand." Lu Guangyi nodded, and looked at Guan Ning deeply with his experienced eyes. He had never felt such calmness in a young man, like a veteran.
Soon, Guan Ning and Lou Xinyue returned the same way.
Lu Xiao, who had been waiting for a long time, followed out and the two parties happened to bump into each other. At this moment, Lu Xiao did not know that his father had reached an agreement with Guan Ning in private.
Leave Lu Mansion.
"Are we going to find Zhao Yi now?" Lou Xinyue opened her red lips slightly, her voice ethereal. After this incident, she had more trust in Guan Ning.
"Not urgent."
"Why not in a hurry?" Lou Xinyue frowned slightly.
Guan Ning explained with a wry smile, "Zhao Yi and Lu Guangyi are different. Lu Guangyi is a man who has lost his power, and we have leverage over him. If we offer him benefits, we can get him to cooperate."
"But Zhao Yi is not like that. He is a legitimate Minister of Justice, a fourth-rank official. Touching him would be asking for trouble, and we don't have any leverage over Zhao Yi."
"What can you do to make this bastard confess his crime?"
Lou Xinyue was speechless.
Guan Ning added, "I will immediately arrange for someone to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Zhao Yi. Once we have any information, we will plan our actions."
"Anyway, don't worry. I will definitely do what I promised you. Besides, I have some grudges with that old bastard Zhao Yi!"
As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Hearing this, Lou Xinyue didn't know what to say anymore, so she pursed her lips and said, "Okay, thank you."
"Hahaha, you're suddenly so polite that I'm a little uncomfortable with it." Guan Ning laughed.
Lou Xinyue immediately returned to her indifferent state and glanced at him sideways.
Suddenly he asked, "What did you smell when you went to Lu Guangyi's room just now? What made you sure he was faking illness?"
Guan Ning was stunned for a moment, then smiled ambiguously.
He asked in return: "Miss Lou has never had a man, right?"
Lou Xinyue's almond-shaped eyes turned cold instantly, and she automatically regarded these words as a teasing.
"What are you talking about?"
Guan Ning smiled and said, "Don't be angry, I didn't mean anything else."
"You'll understand the taste later, hehe."
"It's incomprehensible!" Lou Xinyue snorted coldly, and stopped asking questions. She held the sword in her hand and left.
"Hey!"
"Leaving now?"
"Why don't you treat me to a meal?"
"Hey!"
"How can I find you?" Guan Ning shouted.
Lou Xinyue was very cool. With her tall figure, she walked away holding a long sword without looking back. She only left a sentence: "Changmu Inn."
As a top killer, she comes and goes without a trace. This is the first time she has revealed her whereabouts to outsiders. For a killer, this is an extremely unsafe thing, but she still said it.
It was an acknowledgement of their cooperation and Guan Ning. Gradually, she began to feel that Guan Ning might be more reliable than Mr. Jia's blank checks.
"Sir, this woman is too disrespectful to you!"
