"Yes!" Li Chengyuan nodded. "This matter is of great importance. No one else can handle it except Prime Minister Lin!"

Chen Pingping nodded and said, "You're right!"

Immediately, Chen Pingping exclaimed again, "I've thought about a lot, but I only forgot the lieutenant general of the City Patrol!

I never thought that when the Patrol Commander disappeared, it was you who took him away!"

"I didn't think of it at first!" Fan Xian laughed, "Later, when my brother tested me, I thought back to everything that had happened since I came to Beijing, and then I remembered this doubt.

At that time, Lao Wang and I were investigating a case. We had just determined that the crossbow of the female assassin on Niulan Street was related to the lieutenant general of the City Patrol. However, we were stopped by an expert on the way to investigate.

When we went there again, the place was empty!

It was indeed a bit strange at the time, but we were so anxious to catch Miss Si Lili that we forgot about it!"

"Hehe, we were upset about this at the time!" Wang Qinian chuckled. "When I heard that a ninth-rank expert had stopped His Excellency, I almost suspected it was Miss Blue Bird. But then His Excellency said the person who stopped him was a man. I was relieved at the time, thinking that this matter had nothing to do with His Excellency. I didn't expect that the man was actually sent by His Excellency!"

Fan Xian turned to look at Li Chengyuan and asked, "Brother, were those people that night really your men?"

"Yes!" Li Chengyuan said, "His name is Zhen Ping, and he's the Golden Gong of my Night Watchman Organization!"

"Night watchman?"

"Golden gong?"

Chen Pingping, Fan Xian and Wang Qinian all looked at Li Chengyuan.

Li Chengyuan nodded and said, "The Night Watchmen are my intelligence organization. I named them Night Watchmen, meaning if you don't do bad things during the day, you won't be afraid of the Night Watchmen at night!"

"What a nice name, with a good meaning! You are worthy of being His Highness!" Wang Qinian flattered him.

Fan Xian secretly clicked his tongue.

His brother's intelligence organization is led by ninth-grade masters, and he dare not imagine how many ninth-grade masters his brother has hidden in his hands.

Chen Pingping looked at Li Chengyuan meaningfully.

If you don't do anything wrong during the day, you won't be afraid of the night watchman at night!

This is not a declaration from an ordinary intelligence organization!

It seems that Cheng Yuan also intends to weaken or check the Inspection Office!

This is a good thing, which means Chengyuan has already started making plans for the future.

Chen Pingping was not dissatisfied with this matter.

He has little desire for power.

His only obsession was to avenge Ye Qingmei.

As for revenge, he doesn't care.

Moreover, Li Chengyuan told him about the night watchman in advance to show that he had no intention of demolishing the bridge after crossing it.

This was an unspoken understanding between the two, so after thinking about it, Chen Pingping smiled.

Li Chengyuan took a sip of tea and explained, "Actually, I just arrived a little early that night, and even if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been able to see the lieutenant general and his family!"

"Why?" Fan Xian was puzzled!

In other words, he didn't understand why Li Chengyuan stopped him that night.

Li Chengyuan smiled and explained, "Because Li Yunrui knows that you have found the lieutenant general.

So people were sent to assassinate the lieutenant general and his family that night.

If I don't go, when you arrive, you will see the corpses of the lieutenant general's entire family.

This way, I can silence you and threaten you, so you won't dare to investigate further!"

"Hiss~!" Fan Xian and Wang Qinian suddenly felt a chill on their backs.

They shuddered at the thought of entering the mansion and seeing the yard full of corpses.

They did not doubt Li Chengyuan's words at all, because they knew that with Li Yunrui's crazy personality, he could definitely do this!

"But..." Fan Xian asked, still somewhat puzzled, "Just to assassinate me, Li Yunrui sacrificed a lieutenant general from the City Patrol. Isn't that too high a price to pay?"

Li Chengyuan shook his head and said, "Who told you that this lieutenant general is Li Yunrui's only undercover agent in the City Patrol Division?"

"Ah?" Fan Xian and Wang Qinian looked at each other.

Li Chengyuan said: "I told you that Li Yunrui is arrogant and proud, and it is difficult for ordinary people to become her confidant.

The City Patrol Department has one commander, two deputy commanders, and four lieutenant generals!

Given Li Yunrui's personality, he must be at least a deputy commander to be qualified to be her undercover agent. That lieutenant general is just her pawn!"

"!!!" Fan Xian took a breath.

Wang Qinian clicked his tongue and said, "The Princess is truly audacious. She even bribed the commander of the City Patrol. This crime is no less serious than bribing the head of the Inspection Office!"

Fan Xian nodded in agreement.

The Qing Dynasty's City Patrol Office was even larger than the Ming Dynasty's Five Cities Military Office. It was in charge of public security inspections, catching thieves, fire prevention, and theft prevention in the entire capital city.

It can be said that it is almost equivalent to the combination of the Public Security Bureau, Fire Department, Ministry of Health, and Special Police Department in later generations.

He is in charge of nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, and can threaten the safety of the entire Kyoto city.

If someone wants to rebel, the City Patrol will definitely be one of the main forces.

Li Yunrui dared to interfere in such an important government office. He was simply courting death!

So even Wang Qinian could see that once this matter was exposed, Li Yunrui would definitely be ruined.

.....

Fan Xian and Wang Qinian looked at each other and saw the amazement in each other's eyes.

They thought that Li Chengyuan's killer move would be complicated, but they didn't expect it to be so complicated.

Chen Pingping was full of admiration.

After Li Chengyuan captured the lieutenant general of the city patrol, he was able to hold his breath and hide for so long, until now he gave Li Yunrui a fatal blow.

Such a calm temperament is rare among young people!

Fan Xian looked towards the Imperial Palace and suddenly exclaimed happily, "After tonight, Li Yunrui will be completely ruined!"

......

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

The prince knelt on the ground and sincerely pleaded for Li Yunrui.

"Your Majesty, please show mercy and spare my aunt!"

"Wait a little longer!" Emperor Qing said lightly while making his own little gadgets.

"What are you waiting for?" asked the prince in confusion.

"See if anyone else is willing to plead for her!"

The prince said in despair, "Now that it has come to this, I'm afraid no one dares to come!"

"That's not necessarily true!" Emperor Qing said lightly.

At this moment, Eunuch Hou suddenly announced, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lin requests an audience!"

“!!!” The prince was shocked.

Emperor Qing also looked up in surprise.

Even he didn't expect that Lin Ruofu would come over at this time.

What is he here for?

Plead for Li Yunrui?

Emperor Qing's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Xuan!"

P.S. Everyone, I have nothing to do today, so I'll write more!

Chapter 165: Li Yunrui's End! The Jade Mirror's Message! (Part )

"How did you come?"

Outside the screen of the imperial study, Li Yunrui saw Lin Ruofu walking in, and his expression was surprised and happy.

She thought about the many people who might come.

But I didn't expect Lin Ruofu to come.

Because Li Yunrui knew very well that Lin Ruofu had no feelings for her at all.

Even Lin Ruofu regarded her as a tiger and wolf and kept his distance from her.

So Li Yunrui could never have imagined that when she was down and out, Lin Ruofu would come to plead for her.

She didn't think Lin Ruofu was here to take advantage of her misfortune.

Because it is not necessary.

She is already in this situation, and if Lin Ruofu doesn't come, she will not have a good ending.

So even if Lin Ruofu hated her, there was no need for him to get involved in this mess.

Unless Lin Ruofu knew the truth about Lin Gong’s death, but Li Yunrui didn’t think Lin Ruofu would know - this!

So in Li Yunrui's opinion, Lin Ruofu was definitely here to plead for her.

..

Watching Lin Ruofu slowly approaching, Li Yunrui's eyes showed a rare warmth.

She did not have much affection for Lin Ruofu, but she was very happy that Lin Ruofu could "change his mind" because Lin Ruofu was the prime minister and could be of great help to her.

"You're here?" Li Yunrui's voice was extremely gentle, like that of a gentle wife.

However, Lin Ruofu didn't even look at her and walked straight into the imperial study.

Li Yunrui didn't care at all when she saw this. She just thought that this man was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and was just trying to save face.

Li Yunrui knelt outside, hoping that Lin Ruofu's arrival would bring her a turning point.
