Yang Qiu said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, rest assured! As long as they make the slightest mistake, I will definitely pursue them relentlessly until they are crushed!"
Liu Hong glanced at Yang Qiu indifferently, "Sometimes mistakes don't happen by waiting, Yang Qing, do you understand?"
Yang Qiu instantly understood the emperor's intention and respectfully said:
"Your subject understands!"
After Liu Hong's warning, Yang Qiu's mindset has completely changed; the fairness of the law is only superficial.
They knew perfectly well that some people were hiding in the shadows, escaping legal punishment, but they were unable to prosecute them due to a lack of evidence.
So Yang Qiu finally understood. No evidence? Then create evidence, just like Cheng Yu and Jia Xu did. You guys are shady? Then let's have a competition and see who's shadyer!
They can use underhanded methods to deal with others, and they can use the same methods to bring them into the open.
Seeing the change in Yang Qiu, Liu Hong nodded in satisfaction, then said in a deep voice:
"What I'm truly worried about is Fanyang! These people in Luoyang are probably just pawns in their game!"
Yang Qiu couldn't help but ask, "Fanyang? Does Your Majesty mean the Lu family?"
Liu Hong nodded. "That's right! I'm afraid there are other people hiding behind the Lu family!"
Yang Qiu seemed to have thought of something and said softly, "What does His Majesty mean? Governor Liu? Or..."
Liu Hong chuckled lightly, "Heh~ Governor Liu? I'm afraid he's just a pawn in their game!"
Hearing Liu Hong's words, Yang Qiu couldn't help but frown. Things were becoming increasingly complicated and unpredictable.
"Hehe~ Yang Qing, there's no need to worry too much! In my eyes, they're nothing but a bunch of clowns. It's not as complicated as you think. The only reason I'm keeping them around is because they still have some use to me!"
Seeing Yang Qiu's expression, Liu Hong smiled. Neither the Lu family nor Liangzhou held him in any regard.
His only concern was whether Jia Xu and Cheng Yu could make the most of their limited value so that he could take the opportunity to eliminate a group of unstable factors.
Meanwhile, in Fanyang, the leader in charge of exploring the secret passage also found Chen Shi and reported his findings.
"Captain! The Lu family did indeed build a secret passage. The steward escaped our sight during the day through that passage!"
Chen Shi nodded and asked, "Where does the secret passage lead?"
"The secret passage was connected to a mansion behind them."
"Heh~ How cunning! I suppose Lu's ambitions are the same, aren't they?"
The leader nodded. "That's right, the Lu residence is also backed by another mansion, so it seems they built the same secret passage!"
Chen Shi couldn't help but sneer, then said, "The Lu family is so cautious; their schemes must be quite ambitious! The two mansions behind them must be where they make contact. Try to send someone in to infiltrate and investigate!"
"promise!"
