After a simple change of clothes, Lu Li was already much more awake when he appeared again.
"Where's Zhu Xiao?" Lu Li looked at everyone and found that the unconscious Zhu Xiao was gone.
Mo Shenfeng was still looking at him with scrutinizing eyes, but he replied: "Zhu Xiao is a senior master after all. Your method of controlling him is too rough. Fortunately, nothing happened. Now I have sent someone to take him down." He was imprisoned and the interrogation was intensified.”
Hearing that the method of controlling Zhu Xiao was too rough, Beidi raised his eyes and looked at Mo Shenfeng without leaving any trace.
He captured Zhu Xiao alive, and he naturally arranged the control methods.
His methods can be said to be simple and effective, but they are definitely not crude.
He was able to disperse Zhu Xiao's consciousness with his powerful spiritual thoughts, but was able to avoid damaging his sea of consciousness at all. This kind of precise control was actually dismissed by Mo Shenfeng with a rough sentence.
Sensing Beidi's gaze, Mo Shenfeng also looked over tit for tat.
The two people's eyes met, one with a bit of hostility, the other with a bit of inquiry.
However, after making eye contact, the two of them looked away as if nothing happened.
After Lu Li took his seat, he rubbed his neck and said casually, "There's no need to interrogate. You can't find anything out, so let me do it."
"What do you mean?" Mo Shenfeng immediately looked at Lu Li and said with a smile: "Does Mr. Lu think that the people in our state capital are all trash?"
"Is not it?"
Lu Li also looked directly at Mo Shenfeng and asked, "May I ask, did the Yanzhou Prefecture discover Zhu Xiao and Zhao Tianci's betrayal?"
"I'm still investigating this matter and will definitely give it to..."
"Will you give a perfect explanation to King Yan?"
Lu Li directly interrupted Mo Shenfeng's words and chuckled: "Everyone can say nice things. His Highness King Yan is fine now. You just need to do a good job of settling accounts in the future. But once His Highness King Yan really dies in this conspiracy, , Who else should you say your beautiful words to?"
Mo Shenfeng's expression changed slightly, and just when he was about to retort, Lu Li continued: "Since Zhu Xiao dares to do such crazy things, it proves that he is mentally prepared to a certain extent."
"So what? It would be fine if he died. Now that he is still alive and in our hands, there is always a way to make him speak."
Mo Shenfeng said calmly: "General Manager Lu should know that no one is not afraid of death, even the master. As long as Zhu Xiao is not dead, he will definitely spit out what we want."
"hope so."
Lu Li did not argue with him, but continued: "The top priority now is to send people to control the Zhu family and the Zhao family as soon as possible. Regardless of whether Zhu Xiao is willing to explain or not, these two families cannot escape their involvement."
"People have been sent to do this." Ge Xinyue replied: "There are still some problems in controlling the Zhu family. The Zhao family is average in strength. Without Zhao Tianci, there is no strong person in the family. It should be about the same now. It’s already under our control.”
Seeing Ge Xinyue's attitude, Mo Shenfeng was a little speechless again.
As the head of internal affairs of Prince Yan's Mansion, Ge Xinyue obviously wanted to follow Lu Li's lead. Now that the two heads of internal affairs and foreign affairs join forces, it is equivalent to Mu Hongxiu personally giving orders.
In the realm of Yanzhou, the identity of the general manager of Prince Yan's Palace is actually more effective than his title of Palace Master.
Originally, Mo Shenfeng planned to win over Ge Xinyue and ask her to support him in handling this matter. At least he would have a chance to make amends. Now it seems that his plan has failed after all.
After experiencing life and death, Ge Xinyue had a clearer understanding of Lu Li's abilities.
Now that Mu Hongxiu was unconscious, everyone had lost their backbone. She had no reason not to support Lu Li, who had already proven himself. She gave up everything to support him, the Lord of Yanzhou who had almost 'killed' everyone.
Although Mo Shenfeng had his share of hardships, it was a fact that he was kept in the dark about such a big thing happening in Yanzhou due to his lax control of his subordinates.
Ge Xinyue, no matter what your strength is or what achievements you have made in daily life, even if Yanzhou's stable situation for many years is all due to you, Mo Shenfeng, this time it almost led to the assassination of King Yan. It was enough to make Ge Xinyue lose trust in Mo Shenfeng.
Mo Shenfeng also knew Ge Xinyue's temper, so even if he felt a little aggrieved, he didn't make any excuses.
After all, everyone has narrowly escaped death now, all because of their anger. Moreover, Mu Ningqiu's cold gaze would glance towards him from time to time. Mo Shenfeng did not dare to provoke the eldest princess, so he simply pretended to be deaf and dumb, out of sight and out of mind.
"In addition to controlling these two families, we also need to check which families they have good relations with on weekdays."
Lu Li rubbed his fingers, thinking very clearly: "Even their hostile forces must be carefully investigated. I don't believe that the people from the Jitian Demon Kingdom, with their hands and eyes, have penetrated into Yanzhou without leaving even the slightest trace."
Mo Shenfeng couldn't help but said: "How much manpower will it take to continue the investigation like this? And if innocent families are found, if they rebound, we will also have to bear a lot of pressure."
"So? Then you won't investigate?" Lu Li turned to look at him, "There are difficulties, so you don't do it. Is this how you govern Yanzhou?"
"It's not your turn to tell me how I govern Yanzhou."
Mo Shenfeng's eyes were slightly cold: "Things are still uncertain now. If you are so grand, even those Yanzhou aristocratic families who have not rebelled may become dissatisfied with King Yan because of this matter!"
As the governor of Yanzhou, Mo Shenfeng had many issues to consider.
In the huge Yanzhou, there are not only ordinary people, but also casual warriors, and even more, there are various major aristocratic families that are intertwined. He had put in too much effort over the years to balance the power of various aristocratic families, and Lu Li's current behavior was simply a drastic 'repair' of the situation he had established over the years.
It would be fine if the cancer hidden in Yanzhou could be uncovered. But if it failed to achieve sufficient results and instead made those families who did not cooperate with the Jitian Demon Kingdom feel dissatisfied, wouldn't it make the already complicated situation worse again?
"Then tell me, is there any good solution now?" Mu Ningqiu glared at Mo Shenfeng.
What's going on with this guy today
From the beginning when someone was asked to rescue Lu Li, he refused in every possible way and seemed a little reluctant. As a result, now that Lu Li came back and made some arrangements, he was also there to object.
Mu Ningqiu couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with Mo Shenfeng's brain.
"Your Highness, I think we should not be too impatient now." Mo Shenfeng said helplessly: "Even if there are cancers like Zhu Xiao and Zhao Tianci in Yanzhou, we cannot treat the entire Yanzhou family as a cancer."
"It has been twelve years since I succeeded Yanzhou Prefecture. In these twelve years, I dare not say anything else, but I dare say that even the Tianbu may not understand the foundations of many aristocratic families in Yanzhou."
Mo Shenfeng looked at Lu Li again: "I can understand Mr. Lu's desire to catch those who are treasonous, but sometimes, too strong a method will only have the opposite effect."
"Oh, is it so."
Lu Li smiled and said, "How dare I ask the Lord, are the Zhu family of Yanzhou and the Zhao family of Yanzhou not the aristocratic families of Yanzhou?"
"Of course they are." Mo Shenfeng knew what Lu Li was going to ask, so he hesitated slightly, but still replied, "It's just that they don't represent all the aristocratic families."
"Why can't it be represented? Is there any difference between the powerful people of the aristocratic families?" Mu Ningqiu asked with a cold face.
Mo Shenfeng was stunned by her question.
Mainly because he didn't expect Mu Ningqiu to actually stand up and speak for Lu Li.
"The ancestors of the Zhu family are heroes of the Holy Kingdom. In this generation, they will also plot rebellion due to the imbalance of resources. Even for such a family, are other powerful people more loyal than the Zhu family?"
Mu Ningqiu's tone was very cold.
I have to say that Zhu Xiao did teach her a lesson.
Although she doesn't go to extremes, at least she has understood that it is better to believe in loyalty than to believe in interests.
"This is a good statement. More importantly, the strength of the Zhu family in Yanzhou should not be bad, right? You might as well think about it. Even Zhu Xiao, the ancestor of the Zhu family, was sent to carry out a fatal assassination mission. There are complications behind this The power you get is definitely not as simple as you think."
Lu Li looked at Mo Shenfeng and said, "If necessary, we should even assume that more than half of the aristocratic families in Yanzhou are involved in this matter."
