"I see. Besides this thin letter, do you have any other irrefutable evidence?"
"Yes, yes, yes. I wanted to report this to you two months ago, but I lacked evidence. After two months of collecting evidence, it is now irrefutable. Please take a look, young master!"
Mo Zhiyuan took all the papers on the table and laid them out in front of him.
Fusu bent down, widened his eyes, and quickly scanned the contents of the papers.
His face turned ashen, and he clenched his fist and slammed it against the wall beside him.
With a loud "bang," he smashed a fist-shaped mark into the thick wall, and of course, some blood spurted from his fist.
But he felt no pain at all.
But all I felt was endless anger!
"I thought Li Xiang was like Jiang Ziya, but alas, this Li Xiang wants to be like King Wu of Zhou!"
"Young master, I implore you to report this to His Majesty as soon as possible, otherwise..."
"Um!"
He nodded, then turned to look at Mo Zhiyuan and said, "This matter involves a vast area and a large number of people. It is the most serious and heinous incident in more than a hundred years since the reforms of Duke Xiao. There are tens of thousands of people in the Construction Bureau. You must not leak this information."
"Rest assured, young master, this matter is of great importance, and I will certainly keep my mouth shut!"
"Very well, Fusu will go and report this matter to the Emperor!"
"Please wait, young master."
"Please wait a moment, sir."
As soon as Fusu left the construction office, he rushed to the palace.
At this moment, he completely disregarded his injured hand, as if the injury to his hand was insignificant compared to the fate of the Qin Dynasty.
In the prison of Jiujiang Prefecture.
Li Lin tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
He looked at the sunlight outside the window and muttered to himself.
"Who exactly betrayed me? I clearly arranged the routes for five plans, how did they know I would pass through there? And how did Fan Wen of Jiujiang Prefecture bypass Chen Prefecture without a word? Chen Prefecture must have known about the large-scale mobilization of personnel in Nan Prefecture, so why didn't we receive any news from the rear?"
He couldn't understand it.
He rolled over, exposing most of his body to the sunlight.
In no time, my whole body felt warm.
It's getting a bit hot.
He quickly moved to a dark spot to avoid the sunlight.
Unfortunately, he was currently sitting by the window.
No matter how he tries to avoid it, he will still get sunlight.
"Got it! Lean against the corner!"
He had a sudden inspiration and leaned against the wall under the window.
The sunlight really couldn't reach him anymore.
"etc!"
He seemed to have an idea.
The wall beneath the window is not exposed to sunlight.
"Could it be that the darkness is under our noses, and someone close to me has betrayed me? Was it Fan Zeng? Zhang Han? Or the Xiang family uncle and nephew?"
He pressed himself against the wall, carefully recalling all the suspicious individuals in his mind.
But no matter what he thought about it...
I can't figure out who this person is.
"Li Lin, give up. You have no chance to turn things around. I and all the local officials in Jiangdong and even the entire Jianghuai region have jointly submitted a memorial about your situation. At this moment, the memorial reporting your situation has probably already been presented to His Majesty."
"Fan Wen, I know I have no chance of turning the tables, but I want to know why I lost. Can you tell me the whole story?"
"Oh? You, Li Lin, aren't you known as the greatest strategist of Qin? Aren't you a self-proclaimed smart man? What? You still haven't figured it out?"
Fan Wen grinned maliciously.
He was a confidant of Li Si. In his early years, he was a local ruffian in Xianyang, but because he was born into a wealthy family, knew how to read, and had received some education, he served as a clerk for a period of time when the government was short of people.
At that time, Li Si had not yet risen to prominence, so he helped Li Si by his side.
Later, because of his involvement with Lü Buwei, the whole family moved to Jiujiang.
Then Li Si soared to great heights.
I remembered him.
They promoted him extensively, eventually leading him to become the governor of Jiujiang.
He was utterly loyal to Li Si.
"I'm sorry, but this time, I was blinded by my own involvement while the bystander saw things clearly. I humbly request your guidance, Your Excellency!"
"Hahahaha, so you, Li Lin, are actually this humble now? Weren't you very arrogant before? Poor Brother Meng, you scared him half to death. Now he's filled with anxiety, afraid of being implicated for killing you."
“Meng Dao is a muddle-headed official. He was able to become a prefect because of his family background. He is not even a tenth as good as Lord Fan.”
"Stop flattering me. Someone will tell you after everything settles down!"
"you!"
Li Lin was somewhat frustrated. He had been so "humbly seeking advice," yet Fan Wen still acted so arrogantly and indifferent towards him, which really made him feel frustrated and confused.
"Alright, I'll take my leave now. Oh, by the way, I have some bad news for you: your wife, Princess Manyin, has already announced to the world in Xianyang that she has officially divorced you!"
"What? No, that can't be! You're lying to me!"
"Hmph, do you think I have any reason to lie to a prisoner like you at this critical juncture?"
"ah!"
Li Lin collapsed to the ground, spitting out blood, then his eyes rolled back and he lost consciousness.
