This time, Xiang Linglong's eyes lingered on Lide's smile for a long time.
He began to consider how much sincerity there was in Lid's words.
Although this person in front of him is young, he is also the lord of Yunyang, leading his leadership team to make a splash in the west. Now that he came to Nanchu, he was assigned to be the leader of the investigation team by the lord of Nanchu, and he was assassinated so many times along the way, didn't he have the slightest bit of resentment? It is beyond doubt that no one in Lide's position would be able to serve the governor of Nanchu wholeheartedly.
Of course, this does not mean that Xiang Linglong believed Li De's words. Now Lide didn't catch any handle on him, and it was Xiang Linglong and the forces behind him who were sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. At this time, regardless of what Li De said, he had the right to take it as Washer's listening to the show, which was the choice to make money and not lose money.
Xiang Linglong drank tea calmly, and said to Lide:
"I don't know what kind of explanation does the leader want?"
Lied also smiled and replied:
"The city owner is so smart, can't he think of it?"
Xiang Linglong laughed loudly, and after a while, pointing to the tea on the table, she asked Li De:
"What do you think of the tea, the leader?"
Lied nodded and praised:
"good."
So he waved Linglong's big hand and asked the chief guard to put two boxes on Li De. Lide was not polite, he took it over and weighed it, and stuffed it directly into his arms. Xiang Linglong pressed her arms on the table, leaned forward, and said to Lide:
"The group leader is a smart person. I like to deal with smart people! I know what the group leader is worried about. I just think this case is quite strange. If I just go back like this, I can't deal with the prince. Regarding this point , I have a way to get the best of both worlds, I don't know if the leader wants to hear it."
Lide rolled up his sleeves, leaned forward as well, and replied with great interest:
"City Lord, please speak."
Xiang Linglong lowered her voice, and said in a voice that only two people could hear:
"Fake...!"
Li De narrowed his eyes, turned away from Xiang Zhehua, Xiang Linglong also drove out the people around him. When only Li De and Xiang Linglong were left in the room, Li De took a sip of tea and said:
"Tell me in detail."
"It's very simple. There are indeed many strange things about this case. At present, there is no way to report to Mr. Shizi. The leader of the group can't handle the matter, and I, the city lord, can't handle the matter either. Just think about it, the leader of the group. Most of the strange things are dead without proof; but the lord and the prince will definitely vent their anger on me, and then find any other reason and charge me with a few crimes, and it will be my head that will roll to the ground at the mouth of the vegetable market tomorrow. So on this point, the interests of the team leader and I are the same, if we find a way to settle this case, the situation will be beneficial to both of us."
"Indeed... you continue."
"Then, in my opinion, the only solution at present is to forge more evidence of Jiang Yuesheng's murder. At that time, the credit will be divided between the two of us. I kept the black veil on my head, and the team leader can rest assured to go back and talk to him." Your Majesty is back to life. This matter is known by heaven and earth, you know me, and you just rotted to death in the stomachs of the two of us, how about it?"
Li De took a sip of tea, and seemed a little moved, but he didn't agree, but got up to leave, and said:
"Let me think about it. I am married to Jinlan and I have a very good relationship with Mr. Shizi. To deceive him like this, I am still a little uneasy in my heart. Let me go back and think about it, and go back and think about it."
Lide said and touched his chest. Xiang Linglong stood up and saw her off, saying:
"If the group leader likes to taste tea, you can come over anytime. The whole city of Jinxiu is up and down, and the group leader is always welcome!"
Li De said something polite, and then took Xiang Zhehua back home.
Xiang Linglong stared at his back for a long time, knowing that he was holding Xiang Zhehua's hand and disappeared into the crowd, so she slowly let out a breath and said with a smile:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shizi... He really has the nerve to say this. If Xiang Zhehua's reputation is ruined, no matter how much you try to explain, you may have nothing to do with the Lord and faction. But that's fine, Lord Yunyang, if you don't kill him It’s best not to kill him, if you can win him over, it can be regarded as a useful pawn.”
The head guard stood behind him and didn't say anything.
After Li De returned to the inn with Xiang Zhehua, he took out the two boxes of "tea" from his arms. After opening it, I poured it on the table, and what fell was two bundles of silver bills. And this is not Nanchu's banknote, but a banknote issued by the Yunhai Territory of the World Chamber of Commerce Center, which means that Lide can exchange it at Yunhai after returning home, without worrying about Nanchu's refusal.
Li De counted in front of Xiang Zhehua, and the silver bills were converted into gold coins, a total of 100,000 pieces.
One hundred thousand pieces!
Even Xiang Zhehua, who grew up in a wealthy family, was slightly taken aback. Lide held a thick stack of banknotes and slapped it on the table twice, and found that the voice was indeed extraordinarily crisp. He stuffed the money back into the tea box, put it on the table casually, and said to Xiang Zhehua:
"It seems that my face is worth some money, and it is better than my family's chief minister of internal affairs."
Xiang Zhehua frowned and said:
"Are you really planning to compromise with them? Is this case not to be investigated?"
Lieder asked:
"Do you want me to check?"
Xiang Zhehua was at a loss for words.
Lide sat on the chair, admiring Xiang Zhehua's embarrassment, and said with a smile:
"Actually, whether you want it or not, the case still needs to be investigated. No matter how you say it, Xiao Hei and I have a life-long friendship. Since I took this job from him, there is no reason to give up halfway. Money can be taken, but things have to be done I still have to do it, no matter what the Lord of Southern Chu thinks, I have to give Xiao Hei an explanation."
In fact, when Li De received the appointment from the Lord of Southern Chu, he had planned to go all out. Perhaps in the eyes of Xiang Linglong and the others, as the lord of Yunyang, Li De had no reason to get involved in the chaos in Southern Chu, but Li De himself didn't see it that way. Back then in the capital, Xiao Hei promised Li De that he could ask him for help if he had something to do. Later, Xiaoheixiaobai helped him solve the matter of Liushi, and even helped him invite Merlin and Anna when Yuxi City resisted the invasion of the demons. Although Yuxi City also sent a large amount of high-quality steel to Nanchu as a gift in return, Li De always felt that this kind of favor could not be repaid with some steel.
The reason is very simple, Mei Lin's help to Yuxi City is life-saving, but the steel provided by Yuxi City is not that important to Nan Chu. So this time, the reason why Li De agreed to the appointment of the Lord of Southern Chu was not to give the Lord of Southern Chu face, but to give face to his son.
"The other party is almost on the hook. They want to use my hands to confirm the bloody clothes case, and we also need to use their hands to find more clues. Everyone thinks that they are chess players, so let's see who can play chess well." Much better."
