Chapter 564 There is a traitor in the Iron Hand Group!
Prince Ying's Mansion.
The sky is bright.
Yuan Qi woke up happily from his sleep, waiting to host a banquet for Li Cunxi tomorrow and give him some silver as a bribe.
It would be even better if the Beigou Ocang murder case could be covered up and simply classified as a grave digging case.
He brushed his teeth with coarse salt, washed his face comfortably with the hot water brought by the servants, and then came to the main hall and sat down carefree.
"Master, what do you want to eat this morning?"
Yuan Lu walked in and asked respectfully.
"The usual three: shortbread, sweet tea, and a duck."
Yuan Qi leaned back and spoke casually.
These three foods, two are sweet and one is salty, can be eaten in the morning without making any noise.
In the half month before this, Yuan Qi had been sticking to this way of eating.
Soon, the kitchen brought in steaming hot biscuits and sweet tea and placed them in front of Yuan Qi according to Yuan Qi's rules.
"Your Majesty, the duck will be delivered soon."
"Ah."
Yuan Qi didn't care much and took a bite of the biscuit first.
Half of the biscuits and sweet tea were soon used up, and the duck was brought up and placed in front of him, while half a biscuit and half a bowl of sweet tea were taken back.
Yuan Qi took a look at the duck's raised butt, stood up, stuck out his butt, and bit the duck's butt.
"Smells, it smells so good!"
"This strange fragrance is really refreshing."
Yuan Qi closed his eyes in ecstasy and chewed the duck butt repeatedly until his mouth was full of oil.
Outside the door, Long Feng and Hu Yun were brought in by the housekeeper Yuan Lu.
Long Feng said to Yuan Lu: "That's not necessary, we can just come in by ourselves. The Sect Master said that we can come in freely without the need for a pass..."
His voice stopped abruptly and his eyes fell on Yuan Qi who was sticking his butt out.
Also, what's with that intoxicated expression on Yuan Qi's face?
Has the clan leader become so perverted?
Hu Yun sat on one side, swallowed his saliva, and was so surprised that he couldn't say a word.
The impression they had of the clan leader was that he was once cruel but was now gentle, dignified, and never lost his composure.
Now what's going on?
So he's just pretending all the time?
Are you so indulgent in private?
"The Patriarch, the Deputy Patriarch, and the Second Hall Master are here."
The expression on Yuan Qi's face was extremely stiff. He shook his clothes, regained his usual dignified expression, and sat down.
He looked up at Long Feng and Hu Yun, then looked at Yuan Lu, thinking that he had lost face in front of Long Feng and Hu Yun today.
"Ahem, what's going on?"
"Why are you two here together? What happened?"
Long Feng and Hu Yun walked into the main hall and looked at each other when they saw Yuan Qi pretending to be serious.
"Brother, come here."
"Okay, you help me."
After the two exchanged glances, Long Feng took the initiative to step forward and said to Yuan Qi:
"Master, something bad has happened. Someone has discovered what happened outside Yangzhou City."
"It seems that Li Cunxi has already led people to dig up those bodies."
"Once Li Cunxi finds out about the problem, I'm afraid it will be very disadvantageous to us in the end. The two of us are coming here to ask what we should do next."
Hu Yun secretly thought that Long Feng was worthy of being the eldest senior brother, he was good at talking.
He casually put aside the punishment for failed missions and simply asked what to do next.
Yuan Qi's face became increasingly ugly. The delicious duck in front of him didn't taste so good anymore. He stood up with a frown and looked deeply at Long Feng and Hu Yun.
He was very clear about the working styles of these two subordinates.
As the backbone of the Iron Hand Group, Long Feng and Hu Yun would not leave any clues no matter what.
If Li Cunxi really dug out the body, it would mean that Li Cunxi must have gotten information from somewhere and knew where the body was buried.
As for where the news came from...
That night, the only people who knew about this were him, Long Feng and Hu Yun!
Before he gave orders to Long Feng and Hu Yun, Bao Chong and Qi Hai had already left and went to Wohu Village to kill people. Yun Gu was also sent out by him to stay in the city and monitor the governor's mansion at all times.
So, if there is still a traitor...
The traitor must be between Long Feng and Hu Yun!
However, Hu Yun had followed him since he was a child, and even though the two of them were ranked as master and minister, their identities were better described as brothers.
Even if Yuan Qi himself is an undercover agent, Hu Yun cannot be an undercover agent.
And Long Feng... Long Feng is loyal to the Iron Hand Group and is a true undercover agent. It is impossible for him to have tried his best to develop the Iron Hand Group in the past few years. Wouldn't it be better to just destroy the Iron Hand Group while Yuan Qi is away?
In just a few seconds, Yuan Qi was overwhelmed with thoughts and couldn't figure out who his undercover agent was.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something.
His gaze suddenly fell on the butler Yuan Lu.
The middle-aged butler stood at the side, lowered his head and said nothing.
"It seems that every time I give an order, Yuan Lu is by my side."
"There must be an undercover agent among us. This person cannot be Hu Yun or Long Feng."
"And every time I gave orders, this person was by my side and saw everything clearly. He knew our specific situation, so who is this person?"
"Yuanlu!"
"It must be him!"
"I can't think of anyone but him!"
……
Canal.
Nearly a hundred bodies were piled together under a row of large willow trees.
The carts they brought had already carried back a batch of bodies, but there were still so many bodies left here.
Seeing so many corpses, Li Cunxi, who had experienced countless bloody experiences, calmly found a clean place to sit down, then asked someone to bring a water bag and took a sip.
"Li Fumu, we have dug out all the bodies around here, a total of 179."
"We checked the remaining willow trees and found that there was no new soil covering them, so there was no way there could be a new body buried underneath."
"There are still 98 bodies that have not been transported back, but only one more transport is needed."
Feng Keyan came over from the side and reported to Li Cunxi.
"Yes." Li Cunxi responded calmly, "Order the governor's mansion to clean it up quickly, and then post an official document for people to come and claim it."
"Yes."
Feng Keyan turned and left.
At this moment, Li Cunxi suddenly remembered some analysis he had seen in the forum in his previous life.
In Shen Di’s forum, someone analyzed that Feng Keyan was originally the leader of the Iron Hand Group, but later he entered the court as an official, and the position of leader fell to Yuan Qi.
Therefore, at the end of the Han Canal boat capsizing case, Yuan Qi shouted loudly before he died.
"I am the lord!!"
Li Cunxi looked at Feng Keyan and thought, "Test the military strength of Feng Keyan, the Minister of Works."
"Feng Keyan's force value: 61."
As soon as the test results came out, Li Cunxi immediately felt like a huge idiot.
He can trust the big guys in the forum, but how can he trust the prison?
When Feng Keyan was an official, Yuan Qi seemed to be still in Yangzhou, right?
"It seems like there's a problem with the script polishing." Li Cunxi rubbed his eyes.
