Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

Zhou Qiuya remained calm and analyzed carefully: "Only a few forces in Capital City can steal 100,000 stones of food under Liu Lei's nose without anyone noticing!"

"Five major families!"

Chen Xiao said coldly, "You don't need to think too much, it's easy to guess."

The five major families have huge power in the capital city, and their intricate relationships are extremely extensive. Only they have the ability and courage.

"I just don't know which one it is," He Changwen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Or which ones?"

Chu Qingyan's face was gloomy. She knew that her opponent had made a move, and this move was a killer move!

Liu Lei is in danger.

There are five major families in the capital city: Lu family, Lin family, Chen family, Wang family, and Liu family.

Who takes action in the fog?

Zhou Qiuya said with a heavy tone:

"The only way now is to find the stolen 100,000 shi of grain and the evidence of the mastermind framed Liu Lei. Only then can we have a chance to exempt Liu Lei from the death penalty."

But it was too difficult. Zhou Qiuya even expressed a pessimistic tone. The enemy must have been fully prepared when they exposed the theft on the day when the guards were receiving food. They had only arrived in Dufucheng for a month, and their foundation was not yet stable. It's so hard to find evidence.

Moreover, after this blow, all the hard work of recruiting people in the previous month were in vain, and the prestige of Chu Qingyan's lineage was greatly reduced.

Everyone bowed their heads and fell silent.

Lowering her head in thought, Liao Siting's eyes lit up, as if she thought of something, she quickly raised her head and said:

"This matter may not be able to turn around. We are a small force, but we can find big forces to help us find it together!"

"Big power?"

"Which force is willing to get involved?" Chen Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Fan Min's eyes were filled with tears. She had nothing to think about now, and all she could think about was Liu Lei's misery in prison.

"Yes, and I'm sure there is a family that is definitely not the murderer!"

Liao Siting's affirmative tone made everyone focus on her.

Facing everyone's inquiries, Liao Siting said in a relaxed tone:

"Lin!"

"Everyone, please don't forget that Bo Linchanghai, the governor of the government, is mainly responsible for grain and grass. If the granary is stolen, he will also be implicated, because he cannot use this matter against us.

We can also win over the Lin family because Lin Changhai doesn't want to be implicated and also wants to solve the case.

The Lin family is powerful, deeply rooted in the capital city, and has many eyes, ears and connections. They should be able to find clues. "

After hearing Liao Siting's analysis, everyone's eyes became brighter and brighter, and they found a way to break the situation.

He Changwen followed Liao Siting's thoughts, thought of something else, raised the corner of his mouth and said: "I think we will soon know who is attacking us!

Using the granary theft case to frame Liu Lei, the enemy could not have known that they would offend the Lin family, but they did it anyway, so it is very likely that while they are dealing with us, they are also dealing with the Lin family!

The Lin family knows better who among the other four families is capable of doing this and who is hostile to the Lin family. "

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Finding the enemy meant finding the direction. Finding the right direction would make it easier to find a solution.

"We can also find King Chu."

"Theft of one hundred thousand shi of grain is no longer an ordinary thing. This is simply a provocation to the imperial court and a provocation to the King of Chu. Whether it is for the sake of the court's face or for himself, the King of Chu will definitely find out."

Chen Xiao also thought of this and said with a smile:

"This is a killer move for us, but it is also a huge hidden danger for them. Once we can find out the evidence, they will be dead!"

After everyone analyzed it, they felt that they had found a way to break the situation. Their expressions became relaxed and they looked at Chu Qingyan, waiting for her order.

However, when they looked at Chu Qingyan, they found that Chu Qingyan had been frowning.

"What you just analyzed makes sense, but why do I always feel that something is wrong? Are they spending so much effort and taking such high risks just to get rid of Liu Lei?"

After hearing Chu Qingyan's words, everyone's hearts froze.

He committed a serious crime by impersonating a granary, offended the King of Chu, and offended the Lin family, just to kill a little Liu Lei?

Is it really possible?

"It's not good, Miss Second!"

Qingyan, who had not been seen yet, rushed in quickly, with a worried look on her face.

"What's wrong?"

When Chu Qingyan saw Qingyan's appearance, she had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Second Miss, now...everyone in the capital knows that one hundred thousand stones of grain have been lost from the Xicheng Granary, and everyone is talking about it.

The people behind the scenes have taken action again, and now all kinds of rumors that are ruining our reputation are spreading throughout the capital city.

They said... they said..."

Qingyan ran in quickly and was out of breath when she stopped. After taking a few deep breaths, she said a series of things:

"They said that the bandits we took in colluded with Liu Lei to steal 100,000 shi of grain!

In the past, it was also revealed that we suppressed bandits along the way and collected money. Now it is said that we went to suppress bandits because we were interested in the money of suppressing bandits, and we have taken in all the bandits.

It is said that granary theft has never happened in Dufucheng before, but now there has been a granary theft as soon as we arrived.

We have many people, and Liu Lei is the food guard in Xicheng, so it is very easy for us to join forces to steal the granary.

Then it was spread that the bandits we took in had dirty hands and stole 100,000 shi of grain from the Xicheng granary.

The common people already hate bandits. As soon as the news about the bandits stealing the granary came out, without any evidence, most people now believe that the bandits we took in colluded with Liu Lei to steal the granary.

Now someone is inciting a group of people to go to the government office and let the patrols come to check our residence, thinking that the stolen 100,000 dan of grain is hidden in our camp. "

rub!

Everyone stood up, looking extremely embarrassed.

Commander Yang, who had been silent until now, also said with a gloomy face:

"Not only do the people hate us, they also want to cut off our access to the capital city to protect the army.

The guards of the capital city instinctively hate bandits, and now someone is accusing us of stealing the granary. If we can't solve the case of the granary being stolen, we won't be able to prove our innocence.

People will just follow the trend blindly, they only want to believe what they hear.

The rumors outside are enough to make all the Guards soldiers feel bad about us, and it is impossible for us to get involved inside the Guards. "

Zhou Qiuya's face was ashen: "Once we can't get conclusive evidence, the rumors in the city will become true if they are false for a long time. At that time, everyone from the Yamen Guards to the common people will be suspicious of us. I feel bad, we will be unable to move even an inch in the capital city!"

"Commander Yang, you should return to the camp immediately to guard, and investigate every place immediately. There can be no mistakes!"

Chu Qingyan said extremely solemnly, if the mastermind behind the scenes smuggled some of the stolen grain with the granary mark into the camp where his cavalry and bandits were hosted.

That's the killer!
