Chapter 2666: Learn from His Vision
He was still able to think calmly about the task.
For a moment, Tian Ye looked at Li Bushang with a complicated expression, especially at his cold eyes, which did not cause any waves or anger because of what happened before, and he sighed in his heart.
Seeing him like this, Li Bushang asked, "What's wrong?"
Tian Ye lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency can see the overall situation and respond calmly. You are truly a role model for us."
Li Bushan lowered his eyes calmly and said, "I have been with the emperor for so long, and what I have learned is not only his way of employing troops, but also his way of employing people."
“…”
"We also need to learn his calmness and his vision."
“…”
"otherwise--"
Having said this, he seemed to realize that he had said too much and immediately cut off the conversation, saying lightly: "In short, since this matter is directed at us, we can't let them lead us by the nose."
Tian Ye said: "My Lord, what you mean is that the murderer's goal is to make us fight each other."
“…”
"That's right. If we do that, surrendering the city will be completely impossible. We will also fail our mission because of this knife and be convicted of a crime when we return to the Duwei Mansion."
“…”
"So, when you return, you must also control the situation and not allow anyone to act rashly!"
"……yes."
Li Bushang looked back at him and said, "What are you still worried about?"
Tian Ye frowned and said softly, "I'm thinking, even if we don't act rashly, someone has already taken action in the dark to assassinate the head of the Cheng family, putting us both in an irreconcilable situation. If we don't find this person, the problem will be impossible to solve."
Li Bushang said: "Not bad."
"Then who is the murderer?"
“…”
"Do you have any guesses in your mind, sir?"
Li Bushang heard this, but remained silent.
Tian Ye said softly: "Sir, is it that person from the Murong family?"
Li Bushang raised his eyes and glanced at him.
"You think it was him?"
“…”
Tian Ye gritted his teeth and said, "Ever since this incident came out, he has been targeting us Jinyiwei. Moreover, he was the last person to see Cheng Gongye last night. He is the most likely suspect, or the one who may have done it."
Li Bushang said calmly, "You would think so, but wouldn't he think so too?"
"Well?"
"If he is the murderer, it would be too obvious."
Tian Ye frowned: "Your Excellency means, it's not him?"
“…”
Li Bushang said calmly, "Don't speculate until you have sufficient evidence to prove the truth. Doing so will only allow your prejudice to blind you."
“…”
"Whether it is him or not, who he is, we need to investigate the truth to get the result."
Seeing him like this, Tian Ye took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his chest.
He is right.
Once people start to get angry, they will lose the ability to think calmly. Although these Jinyiwei have received rigorous training, it is difficult to change people's temperament.
Just now, almost all of them were angered by Murong Qiuming.
But if you think about it carefully, even if it's obvious that he's the murderer, even if they all suspect him, without evidence, they can only accept the other party's accusations.
So, Tian Ye said in a deep voice: "Then, how do we verify the truth?"
Li Bushang thought for a moment and said, "For the next few days, I will definitely have to stay here and not move around. You take your men and ask around in the camp."
"What are you asking?"
"Ask if anyone noticed anything unusual or saw anyone else on the night Cheng Ye was murdered."
"this--"
“This is very important.”
“…”
"Don't worry about the other person's attitude, just ask for the truth."
Tian Ye said: "I will do it right away."
"besides."
Li Bushang said: "If there is any news from Han Dongwei, especially--" He paused, and a little emotion that had not been there just now flashed across his eyes that had originally condensed into frost, as if it was a burst of warmth.
He continued, "If there is any news about the Imperial Concubine, report it immediately."
When he mentioned the imperial concubine, his eyes changed, and Tian Ye felt helpless again.
He only said softly: "I understand."
Li Bu Shang said: "Okay, you can go out now. Just have someone bring me three meals a day."
"yes."
After saying that, Tian Ye turned around and walked out of the tent.
As soon as he walked out, he saw a familiar figure walking to the door of the tent. It was none other than Xie Jiaojiao.
As soon as he saw him, Tian Ye's expression became complicated.
Just now, it was obvious that Xie Jiaojiao seemed to be intentionally helping Li Bushang conceal the fact that he left the camp alone. Judging from her attitude, it seemed like she was helping them.
However, the two sides are now at loggerheads, and he is unsure about his attitude towards Miss Xie.
Xie Jiaojiao, however, came forward with a smile on her face and asked, "He's inside."
"Yes, our commander is in here."
"Well, I'll go in and see him."
"Why?"
Before Tian Ye could stop her, Xie Jiaojiao had already walked past him and went straight into the tent.
The guards from Bailong City and several Jinyiwei who were originally guarding the tent seemed speechless when they saw her like this. They just looked at each other and lowered their heads quietly.
Tian Ye sighed and had no choice but to leave.
Li Bushang, who was in the tent, was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed as if he was resting. But when he heard footsteps walking into the tent, his brows furrowed slightly.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Xie Jiaojiao standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile.
Li Bushang asked, "What for?"
"Come to see you,"
Xie Jiaojiao came over and said softly, "I didn't expect them to do this to you. Are you very angry now?"
Li Bushang glanced at her.
Without waiting for him to speak, Xie Jiaojiao said, "Alright, alright, you don't have to say it. I'll say it for you—it has nothing to do with me, right?"
Li Bushang closed his eyes lightly, as if he was too lazy to look at her.
Xie Jiaojiao said, "You are so calm now. Now that Uncle Cheng is dead, all the clues point to you. Just now, Brother Qiu Ming and the others gathered together. I saw that they were trying to decide whether to go to Handongwei or return to Bailong City."
“…”
"If they decide to return to White Dragon City, have you ever thought about what they will do to you?"
Li Bushang closed his eyes and said calmly, "It has nothing to do with you."
"you--"
Although Xie Jiaojiao was already used to his attitude, she didn't expect that he would still be like this at this time.
She got angry, bit her lower lip, turned around and rushed out of the tent.
Hearing her footsteps fading away, Li Bushang slowly opened his eyes.
