    How many times has the case been tampered with?

    Li Ru has been feeling this way for the past few days. This time, he set a trap and his suspicion was confirmed.

    The position of the brushes is different. Although there is only a slight difference, it cannot be hidden from Li Ru's eyes.  His memory is very good, especially when he remembers it carefully.

    Li Ru began to recall what was going on.

    What has happened in the past half month?

    First, a thief broke into the mansion, and then a scribe asked for an official position.

    Li Ru suddenly woke up and said, "Come here, send someone quickly to summon Xu Yuan."

    Xu Yuan is the pseudonym of Xu Shu.

    However, the servant soon reported that Xu Yuan could not be found.

    As for other excuses, Li Ru didn't bother to think about it anymore and directly ordered a city-wide search.

    "Xu Yuan is a spy in Yangzhou. I have lost some important documents in my study. I must recover them."

    So Xu Shu discovered that Xiapi had been sealed off before he even left the city.

    This is definitely no accident.

    "Li Ru is so cruel, he's going to search the whole city." Hua Xiong went out to find out the news and only came back now, he said angrily.

    Xu Shu knew that he was careless. For the current plan, he could only leave Xiapi by evading arrest.

    Contrary to expectations, the government officials soon searched the residence of Xu Shu and Hua Xiong.  The two hid and let their assistants deal with it. After spending some money, they finally avoided it.

    However, we don¡¯t know how long this manhunt will last. How can Xu Shu have time to spend here?

    Yangzhou¡¯s intelligence network is only responsible for transmitting information, and most of them live in various places as businessmen. They have no way to influence the government¡¯s decisions, so Xu Shu can only choose to lurk.

    Unfortunately, while investigating the news, Hua Xiong made a mistake and fought with the government officials, killing several people.

    ¡° Several government officials died in nearby blocks, which will definitely alarm the government. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time.

    Xu Shu hurriedly changed the location, and after a while, the stronghold was indeed taken.

    "It's my fault." Hua Xiong said shamefully.

    Xu Shu did not blame him. Now that things have happened, he can only find a way to make up for it.  Yangzhou's arrangements here are limited, and if you want to leave, you can only use external forces.

    According to the information provided by Cao Bao, the Chen family is at odds with Liu Bei.

    "However, Xu Shu really doesn't want to come to her as a last resort. The risk is too great.

    It happens that Chen Gui, the head of the Chen family, is in Xiapi and is responsible for the dispatch of grain and grass.

    Xu Shu visited Chen Gui late at night and shocked Chen Gui.

    "You are the Yangzhou spy who is being hunted?" Chen Gui said calmly.

    After Xu Shu took control of Chen Gui, he said directly without hesitation: "Yes, please do me a favor, Master Chen."

    "You want to leave Xiapi, this is not a simple matter. Li Shang has Liu Bei's trust, and I don't want to offend him." Chen Gui said.

    This is when he started asking for benefits.

    " Moreover, if Xu Shu's status was too low, it would be impossible to negotiate terms with a big boss like Chen Gui.

    Because the status is too low, it means that many promises cannot be fulfilled.

    "If the head of the Chen family is willing to cooperate, the Chen family can maintain its current status." Xu Shu said.

    His tone was loud, not like a sneaking thief.

    Chen Gui naturally didn¡¯t believe it and said, ¡°What guarantee do you have?¡±

    Xu Shu immediately revealed his identity. Being first in the imperial examination is still very intimidating.

    Although Chen Gui is old, he has still heard of the Yangzhou Imperial Examination, which has caused a lot of commotion recently.

    Chen Gui was happy to have a good relationship with such a person and immediately agreed.

    Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, the Chen family was very dissatisfied with Liu Bei and could win over him in the future. This was one of the reasons why he came to see Chen Gui rashly.

    As for Li Ru¡¯s identity, Xu Shu did not mention it because it was of great importance.

    Chen Gui quickly made arrangements for the two of them to leave the city. The guard could stop other people's convoys, but the grain transport team would not dare to move even if he had a hundred courages.

    However, the guard informed Li Ru afterwards.

    When Li Ru received the news, he immediately ordered people to chase him and at the same time abandoned martial law.

    The person must have run away, but the responsibility still needs to be investigated.

    Because a convoy transporting food had just set off two days ago, Chen Gui was full and carried food again?

    Li Ru called Chen Gui and scolded: "Do you know who you are helping?"

      Chen Gui simply pretended to be deaf and dumb. He is too old to hear anything.

    "If you let the Yangzhou spies run away without authorization, I will report the truth to the lord." Li Ru threatened, but Chen Gui refused to enter.

    Li Ru said this, of course, to find out the identity of the Yangzhou spies and find out what information they had obtained.

    "It's a pity that Chen Gui didn't cooperate at all.

    "Master Li, don't slander my Chen family. Find out what kind of spies you are and then talk to him." Chen Gui said.

    Of course, Li Ru had no evidence and threatened: "Chen Deng is on the front line, is he living a good life?"

    Chen Gui¡¯s pupils shrank, he was such a promising son, how could he be allowed to be manipulated by others?

    "Master Li, be careful what you say!"

    Li Ru knew not to push too hard. He thought he had nothing to lose and even gave Chen Gui a beating.

    "If you dare to make any small moves in the future, don't blame me for being cold and heartless."

    When Li Ru followed Dong Zhuo, he killed countless people. Even if he was the third prince, he would just keep his tail between his legs.  In the past, Li Ru would have killed Chen Gui long ago, but unfortunately in order to maintain his image in Liu Bei's heart, he did not.

    Chen Gui returned home, still in shock.  Xuzhou is becoming less and less like a place for people to live.

    ¡°Maybe one day, the Chen family will be uprooted and have to be on guard.

    After Xu Shu and Hua Xiong left the city, they separated from the main force, so Li Ru's pursuit force found nothing.

    When Li Ru heard the news, he could only sigh, are the lives of all Yangzhou people so great?

    First, Liu Bei was defeated, Yuan Shao was slightly defeated, Cao Cao was defeated again, and Gongsun Zan even lost his pants.

    Among the allied forces, only Sun Ce could be considered a hero, but that was just because the Marquis of Dongyang did not focus on Jiaozhou.

    Revenge was far away, and Li Ru felt depressed. He wished he could go to the battlefield and personally command the 300,000 troops.

    Although they clearly have an absolute advantage in numbers, they still fight so cowardly.

    It is better to directly press the entire army than the current confrontation.

    A protracted war will also be beneficial to Yangzhou.

    Since Dongyang Hou promoted sweet potatoes and corn as two crops, everyone has no shortage of food, and the population and military strength have increased sharply.

    ¡°But compared to Yangzhou, the states still lack the foundation.

    Compared with Li Ru's sorrow, Xu Shu is much happier. As long as Li Ru's identity is revealed, the Allies will be suspicious.

    The hard work during this period has not been in vain.

    At the same time, Xu Shu was also a little lucky. If it were not Hua Xiong, he might not be able to recognize Li Ru.  Therefore, Xu Shu simply ignored some of Hua Xiong's mistakes.

    Xu Shu returned to the frontline military camp and immediately asked to see Liu Ke.

    At this time, Liu Ke was discussing with Guo Jia how to defeat the enemy. He was very happy to see Xu Shu return.

    "Yuanzhi, thank you for your hard work."

    Xu Shu cupped his hands and said, "My lord, your words are serious."

    So, Xu Shu began to report what he saw and heard in Xiapi.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
