Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

After my people rescued him, he confessed everything when we asked him casually.

Then, through his confession, my people followed the clues and naturally found out more things!"

This is the truth!

Li Chengyuan originally gave this list of officials to Mr. Thirteen.

Mr. Thirteen really didn't find anything at first, which made him very discouraged.

Later, something happened to Mei Zhili. Li Chengyuan gave Mei Zhili to Mr. Thirteen. Mr. Thirteen quickly found a breakthrough through Mei Zhili, and then followed the clues to find out a lot of secrets.

After hearing this, Chen Pingping felt extremely emotional.

One even feels a sense of satisfaction when looking at Li Chengyuan, thinking of him as "my little Zhuge Liang".

From the list of officials, to Mei Zhili, to guessing Emperor Qing's plan, this series of actions is enough to prove Li Chengyuan's excellence.

Because if there is any problem in any link, Li Chengyuan will not be able to guess the true purpose of Emperor Qing.

It can be said that in terms of cunning, Li Chengyuan has already initially qualified to compete for the throne!

However, what Li Chengyuan did was not perfect.

For example, there was something he couldn't figure out.

"Dean, there is actually something I have always wanted to ask you.

Since Mei Zhili knew so many secrets, why was there no follow-up after he was kidnapped and His Majesty was furious?

Mei Zhili is such an important person, shouldn't Your Majesty want to see him alive or his body?"

Chen Pingping heard this and smiled with relief, "You're right.

As long as Mei Zhili is alive, Your Majesty will certainly not be able to rest easy.

But...what if he's already dead?"

Hearing this, Li Chengyuan's face darkened, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and opened his mouth in surprise.

Chapter 106: Give Chen Pingping a little shock! Li Chengyuan doesn't want to be a pawn!

"Dean, is it you who helped me solve this hidden danger?" Li Chengyuan asked in surprise.

Chen Pingping smiled and nodded, "When Mei Zhili was kidnapped, His Majesty was truly furious and issued a strict order that the Inspection Office must find Mei Zhili within three days. He must be found alive or dead!

I did send someone to investigate.

But I have to admit that your people are really great.

The Inspection Office investigated for two days but found no clues.

In desperation, I had someone find the body of a condemned prisoner and used it as Mei Zhili's substitute to report to His Majesty.

After hearing this, Li Chengyuan was surprised again and asked, "Is Your Majesty so easily fooled?"

"Of course not!" Chen Pingping said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty has a keen eye and will not be easily deceived.

Moreover, His Majesty has many spies in the Inspection Office. If I just find a corpse to impersonate Mei Zhili, His Majesty will definitely find out!

But fortunately, I have a capable person under my command who can make a perfect human skin mask.

Although the price is a bit high.

But the mask dummy he made had no flaws even if you looked closely!

With a dummy stand-in, the rest is easy.

Find a group of real robbers, send in a fake body, and then throw out some clues.

"We can send people up the mountain to suppress the bandits based on the clues, and then find the body of 'Mei Zhili', and then everything will fall into place!"

After hearing this, Li Chengyuan was secretly amazed.

Chen Pingping said it simply, but he could hear the blood, cruelty and the "August 8th" massacre in it!

First, the human skin mask.

Li Chengyuan didn't understand the manufacturing process of this thing, but he was clear about one thing: with the current level of technology, if you want to make a realistic mask, there is only one way, and that is to use real human skin!

Afterwards, those so-called clues and bandits must have involved countless blood and killings!

Although Li Chengyuan disagreed with Chen Pingping's approach, he didn't say anything.

Li Chengyuan knew very well that Chen Pingping's ability to control the Inspection Institute and dominate the court for more than twenty years was not only due to his foresight, but also because of his ruthlessness!

Si Lili once said that Chen Pingping is recognized as the King of the Dark Night and the source of all evil!

Behind this title lies countless lives and blood!

Li Chengyuan was well aware of these things, but he did not have any thoughts about Chen Pingping because of them.

He is not a saint!

This is a feudal society where the strong prey on the weak and human life is worthless.

Talking about human rights in such an era is no different from seeking death!

Li Chengyuan has always done what he should do for his position, using thunderous means and a kind heart!

As for the bloodiness in the process, that is the inevitable price to pay.

A kind army cannot be commanded, which is a true saying in any era.

Of course, if he were Chen Pingping, Li Chengyuan would definitely not do these things because he is not as cruel as Chen Pingping.

After a moment's silence, Li Chengyuan asked again, "Dean, if you do this, aren't you afraid that one day Mei Zhili will suddenly show up and expose your lies?"

"It doesn't matter!" Chen Pingping straightened his clothes and said with a faint smile: "As long as I close the case, Mei Zhili will really be dead!

Even if Mei Zhili appears again, he must be a fake.

For criminals who impersonate imperial officials, the Inspection Office has the power to execute them first and report them later! "

"Good guy!"

Li Chengyuan was convinced!

Knew it!

Since ancient times, no one who can be the leader of spies has been merciful.

Li Chengyuan gave Chen Pingping a thumbs-up and said, "Thank you, Dean, for clearing up my doubts. I just wonder if the Dean trusts me now?"

Chen Pingping stared at Li Chengyuan, still without answering. Instead, he asked, "Chengyuan, you've asked me so many questions. I have a question for you, too!"

Li Chengyuan immediately said, "Please speak, Dean!"

Chen Pingping's expression suddenly turned serious, and he asked with a stern look in his eyes, "Li Chengyuan, you told me everything when you came here today.

Then let me ask you, aren’t you afraid that you might guess wrong?

Have you ever thought about this: if I truly serve His Majesty, and if I report you afterwards, can you bear the consequences?"

Li Chengyuan smiled slightly. He was neither afraid nor angry.

Because he understood that Chen Pingping was teaching him the lesson of caution.

However, Li Chengyuan did not allow Chen Pingping to scold him!

"Dean, please don't say that. I've actually thought about these issues!" Li Chengyuan said with a calm smile, "To be honest, I'm not afraid of you snitching on me.

Because even if you tell me, His Majesty may not believe it, because you can't find any evidence for what I said.

Of course, if you really report me to His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely suspect me. At that time, even if there is no evidence, His Majesty may get rid of me as soon as possible.

Therefore, before you go to Gaomi, I must ensure that you dare not report me to His Majesty!"

Chen Pingping immediately became interested when he heard this and asked, "Then how can you guarantee that I won't report you to His Majesty?"

"Because you're smart!" Li Chengyuan said with a smile. "If His Majesty knew about our conversation just now, not only would His Majesty suspect me, but you as well. The result would be that neither you nor I would have a good ending!"

Li Chengyuan didn't tell the whole truth!

Li Chengyuan's reliance is not only on his trust in Chen Pingping, but also because he has his own trump cards and retreat!

If Chen Pingping really reported Li Chengyuan, then the worst that could happen to Li Chengyuan would be "rebellion" in advance!

It’s not like he doesn’t have the ability anyway, it’s just that the risk is a little higher!

But even if he failed, he could still escape from Qing Kingdom temporarily.

Anyway, he has many ways out.

It’s not just about trusting Chen Pingping!

After hearing Li Chengyuan's words, Chen Pingping was silent for a while, then spoke again quietly, "Then if my invitation to you tonight was a trap, what if His Majesty is nearby and eavesdropping on our conversation?"

"......" Li Chengyuan smiled speechlessly: "Dean, do you want to drive me to death?"

Chen Pingping didn't say anything, but waited for Li Chengyuan's answer!

After taking another sip of tea, Li Chengyuan said softly, "Dean, I understand your painstaking efforts.

In fact, you are completely overthinking it. Since I dare to confront you, I have naturally made all the preparations!

I’m not afraid to tell you, even if His Majesty were here, I wouldn’t be afraid!”

"Ha!" Chen Pingping sneered and scolded, "I think you are ignorant and fearless!"

"No!" Li Chengyuan shook his head and said, "You don't understand me!"

Chen Pingping snorted, "Do you really think you understand His Majesty?"

"Of course!" Li Chengyuan nodded confidently.

"Then do you know that His Majesty knows martial arts?" Chen Pingping asked in a deep voice.

"I know!" Li Chengyuan laughed. "Not only do I know that Your Majesty is skilled in martial arts, I also know that Your Majesty is the true Grandmaster of the Qing Kingdom. Hong Sixiang in the palace is just a shield for Your Majesty!"

"!!!" Chen Pingping was stunned!

He was really confused this time!

"You actually even know this?"

Chen Pingping's voice was a little hoarse, and it was obvious that he was really shocked.

Li Chengyuan smiled, then said seriously: "So! Dean, I said, you don't really understand me.
