Dynasty Summons: Low-key Hegemony

Chapter 48 Framed
Zhou Qiuya remained calm and analyzed seriously: "Only a few forces in the capital city can steal [-] shi of grain without anyone noticing it under Liu Lei's eyes!"

"Five Great Families!"

Chen Xiao said coldly, don't think too much, it's easy to guess.

The five major families have huge influence in the capital city, and their intricate relationships are extremely extensive. Only they have the ability and courage.

"I just don't know which one it is," He Changwen narrowed his eyes slightly,

"Or which ones?"

Chu Qingyan's face was gloomy, she knew that her opponent had made a move, and this move was a killer move!
Liu Lei is in danger.

There are five major families in the capital city: Lu family, Lin family, Chen family, Wang family, and Liu family.

Who made the shot in the fog?
Zhou Qiuya said in a heavy tone:

"The only way now is to find the stolen [-] shi of grain and the evidence that Liu Lei was framed by the mastermind behind the scenes. Only then can we have a chance to exonerate Liu Lei from the death penalty."

But it was too difficult, Zhou Qiuya showed a pessimistic tone, the enemy must have been fully prepared to expose the theft on the day the guards received food, they had only just arrived in the capital city for a month, and the foundation was not yet stable. How difficult it is to find evidence.

And after this blow, all the people who worked so hard to recruit for the previous month were in vain, and the prestige of Chu Qingyan's lineage dropped greatly.

Everyone bowed their heads in silence.

Lowering her head in thought, Liao Siting's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something, she quickly raised her head and said:

"This matter may not have a turning point. We are small, but we can find big forces to help us find it together!"

"Great power?"

"Which force is willing to get involved?" Chen Xiao shook his head and smiled wryly.

Tears welled up in Fan Min's eyes, she didn't have any thoughts now, her mind was full of Liu Lei's miserable appearance in the prison.

"Yes, and I'm sure there is a family that is definitely not the murderer!"

Liao Siting's affirmative tone made everyone focus on her.

Facing everyone's inquiries, Liao Siting said in a relaxed tone:
"Lin!"

"Everyone, don't forget that Bo Linchanghai, the owner of the government office, is mainly responsible for grain and grass. He will also be implicated in the theft of the granary, because he can't use this matter against us.

We can also win over the Lin family, because Lin Changhai does not want to be implicated and also wants to solve the case.

The Lin family is powerful, deeply rooted in the capital city, with many eyes, ears, and connections, so they should be able to find clues. "

Hearing Liao Siting's analysis, everyone's eyes became brighter and they found a way to break the situation.

Following Liao Siting's train of thought, He Changwen thought of another point, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I think we will soon know who is attacking us!
Using the case of the granary theft to frame Liu Lei, it is impossible for the enemy not to know that they would offend the Lin family, but they did it anyway, so they are likely to deal with us while they are also dealing with the Lin family!
The Lin family knows better which of the other four families is capable of doing this and who is hostile to the Lin family. "

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words. Finding the enemy is equivalent to finding the direction. If you find the right direction, it is easy to find a solution.

"We can still find King Chu."

"The theft of [-] shi of grain is no longer an ordinary matter. This is simply a provocation to the court, and to the king of Chu. Whether it is for the face of the court or for himself, the king of Chu will definitely investigate."

Chen Xiao also thought of this, and said with a smile:

"This is a killer move for us, but it is also a great hidden danger for them. Once we can find evidence, they will die!"

After everyone's analysis, they felt that they had found a way to break the situation, their expressions became relaxed, and they looked at Chu Qingyan, waiting for her order.

However, when they looked at Chu Qingyan, they found that Chu Qingyan was frowning all the time.

"Your analysis just now makes sense, but why do I always feel that something is wrong? Did they spend so much effort and take such a high risk just to get rid of Liu Lei?"

Hearing Chu Qingyan's words, everyone froze in their hearts.

Taking the granary as a felony, offending the king of Chu, offending the Lin family, just to get rid of a little Liu Lei?

Is it really possible?
"It's not good, Second Miss!"

At this time, Qingyan, who had not been seen, rushed in quickly, her face full of anxiety.

"what happened?"

Seeing Qingyan's appearance, Chu Qingyan had a bad premonition in her heart.

"Second Miss, now... now everyone in the capital knows that the West City granary lost a hundred thousand shi of grain, and everyone is talking about it.

The people behind it have taken action again, and now there are various rumors that tarnish our reputation and spread throughout the capital city,
They said...they said..."

Qingyan ran in quickly, and was a little out of breath after stopping. After taking a few deep breaths, she said a series of things:
"They said that the bandits we took in colluded with Liu Lei to steal [-] shi of grain!

The fact that we used to suppress bandits and collect money all the way has also been revealed, and now it is rumored that we went to suppress bandits because of the money from suppressing bandits, and we have taken in all the bandits.

It is said that there has never been a granary theft in the capital city before, but now we have the granary theft.

We have a lot of people, and Liu Lei is the grain guard in Xicheng, so it is very easy to steal the granary together.

So it came out that the bandits we took in had dirty hands and feet and stole [-] shi of grain from the Xicheng granary.

The common people already hated bandits. As soon as the news of bandits stealing the granary came out, without any evidence, most people now believe that the bandits we took in colluded with Liu Lei to steal the granary.

Now someone is instigating a group of people to go to the government office and ask the police to check our residence, thinking that the stolen [-] shi of grain is hidden in our camp. "

rub!
Everyone stood up with extremely embarrassed faces.

Commander Yang, who had never spoken, also said with a gloomy face:

"Not only do the people hate us, but they also want to cut off our access to the capital city guards.

The guards of the capital city instinctively hate bandits, and now someone is accusing us of stealing the granary. If we can't solve the case of the granary being stolen, we won't be able to prove our innocence.

People will only blindly follow suit, they only want to believe what they hear.

The gossip outside is enough to make all the guard soldiers feel bad for us, and it is impossible for us to intervene inside the guard. "

Zhou Qiuya's face turned livid: "Once we can't get conclusive evidence, the rumors and rumors in the city will become true after a long time. When the time comes, everyone from the yamen guards to the common people will hate us. Disgust, we will be unable to move an inch in the capital city!"

"Commander Yang, you should go back to the camp to guard immediately, and check every place immediately, so there must be no mistakes!"

Chu Qingyan said very solemnly, if the black hand behind the scenes smuggled some of the stolen grain with the granary logo into the camp where his own cavalry and bandits were taken in.

That is lore!
