Jiangnan, Suzhou magistrate's office.
Yu Enguo sat across from a middle-aged man, his face looking a little embarrassed.
The man opposite him was none other than the survivor of the assassination, cabinet minister Lin Ruhai.
"Prefect Yu, you don't have to be so cautious. We don't want things to get to this point! Since the imperial court has sent us to investigate, the matter is beyond your control! I will report the truth to the imperial court!"
Hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Yu Enguo looked grateful.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for speaking up. But after all, something happened to the state leader in the area under the jurisdiction of the official. Under circumstances, the official also has an unshirkable responsibility! I just want to bring the murderer to justice! Avenge the state leader!!"
When Lin Ruhai heard Yu Enguo's words, he felt a sense of pity in his heart. Fan Xingzhao was the shield he pulled over to prevent Fan Yuan and the old guy from secretly pulling off a trick. Unexpectedly, he really became a shield this time.
As a colleague who was an official in the same dynasty, Fan Xingzhao had pretty good senses, especially in the area of finance. This minister still had real abilities. This time, Jiangnan and his party were able to discern the truth of the matter so quickly. Fan Xingzhao contributed a lot. Not small.
He also didn't expect that there were actually people from the Zhen family among the officials working in the Yanke Division.
The centipede insect was dead but not stiff. This time he underestimated the huge power that the Zhen family had left in Jiangnan.
And the thunderbolt that appeared at the end caused such destructive power that it could be said to be devastating to the world, and even imagining it now made him feel a little scared.
If they were really affected by that kind of thing, they would either die or be disabled. Many of the Imperial Guards who accompanied us on this trip were affected, but they survived. Looking at those who were either missing an arm or a leg, they were in the hospital. Lin Ruhai couldn't help but clenched his fists as he watched the wailing sergeant.
However, his exertion involved his own wound, and his forehead was immediately covered with cold sweat.
"Master Lin, what should we do now??"
Lin Ruhai narrowed his eyes, "Wait~~"
When Yu Enguo heard this, he couldn't help but clenched his fists. Even if Lin Ruhai explained this matter clearly, it would be a heavy blow to his political career. Unless he could make up for it before the court sent someone, Only then can there be room for reversal.
Although waiting is a good idea for now, after all, no one knows whether those people still have thunder bullets in their hands. If they still have these things, it is estimated that even if the entire Suzhou soldiers are involved, they will only end up with nothing. The end of the army was annihilated.
But for him, it is really not a good choice. If he still wants to develop in his official career, then this choice...
When he thought of this, Yu Enguo's eyes began to twinkle.
Lin Ruhai saw that Yu Enguo had been silent for a long time, so she turned her head to look at him. Seeing that his face was uncertain, Lin Ruhai sighed softly.
He has been an official for many years, how could he not guess what the other party is thinking! But it’s really not appropriate for them to delve into this matter. Not to mention that their side’s troops are currently severely lacking, and the other side has that terrifying weapon in their hands. If they advance without authorization, they will only be wiped out. end.
"Master Yu..."
Lin Ruhai was just about to say a few words of advice when suddenly a figure walked in from outside.
"Master Lin, the imperial court has already responded!!"
This person was none other than Xu Yuantu, the secret guard leader sent to Jiangnan by Emperor Kangxi of the Ming Dynasty.
This assassination also disgraced the secret guard leader. During the past few days of recuperation at the Suzhou Yamen, Xu Yuantu's face had always been gloomy and scary.
His responsibilities are different from those of Lin Ruhai and Yu Enguo. He came to Jiangnan to protect these important court officials. Now that a state head has died, it is estimated that Emperor Ming Kang will not spare him lightly when he returns.
After hearing Xu Yuantu's words, Lin Ruhai and Yu Enguo couldn't help but look at each other at the same time.
Yu Enguo's expression was slightly uneasy. Lin Ruhai remained calm on the surface, but there were some ripples in his heart. After all, he was also a party to this assassination and had experienced such a thing personally.
No matter how calm he was, he couldn't suppress the fluctuations in his heart.
"Champion Hounan is down!!"
As Xu Yuantu finished speaking, the entire lobby fell silent.
"Lead a thousand snow dragons and arrive tomorrow at the latest. Maybe the Marquis will come faster!!"
When Yu Enguo heard the name again, he felt a wry smile in his heart. He didn't expect that only a few days later, he would see Jia Qi again, and from Jia Qi's arrival, he also guessed the court's attitude.
"I haven't congratulated you, Mr. Lin, on your son-in-law!!"
After a moment of silence, Yu Enguo spoke again, but this time his face was full of smiles.
Lin Ruhai also showed a sense of relief on his face. Jia Xi's strength was obvious to all in the court. He was really afraid that Emperor Mingkang would get mad and send some idiots over. He would not be able to clean up the mess by then, and the loss would be the face of the court. .
"Master Yu, what Lin means is to wait for now!"
This time Yu Enguo didn't hesitate anymore and nodded gently. Who told him that Lin Ruhai had such a son-in-law! Those who worked under Jia Qi in the capital in the past few days, as an official document has spread throughout Dakang, killed Fusang's envoy and the host and guest Sizheng in the street, and the subsequent cabinet minister Zeng Shutang was completely collapsed.
The Zeng family was invaded by the Shi tribe, and there was a lot of scolding in Jiangnan. Jiangnan has been a key place for scientific research since ancient times. Naturally, more scholars became Zeng Shutang's disciples. Perhaps they did not expect that the first torture of Dakang to punish the Ten tribes would be carried out. As for them, most of those who had the ability to receive the news in advance had fled into the mountains and forests, hiding their names, while those with less power had become sheep to be slaughtered in the vegetable market.
...
Yangzhou, in a temple.
Guan Shan and Zhen Tu, the leaders of the White Lotus Sect, were sitting on the ground. People from the White Lotus Sect were patrolling outside.
"Master Guan, how's it going? This time you got angry and angry?"
When Zhen Tu talked about their operation, his face was full of joy. He didn't notice that Guan Shan's face across from him was as gloomy as an iron pot.
"It's just a pity that that thief Lin Ruhai escaped!!"
Guan Shan smiled coldly and almost squeezed out two words through his teeth.
"idiot!!"
When Zhen Tu heard Guan Shan's words, the cheering look on his face disappeared, and he said in a somewhat nonchalant manner: "Why, isn't Master Guan happy? Didn't we fight beautifully this time??"
Guan Shan clenched his fists, with a hint of killing intent in his eyes.
"Kill beautifully?? Is this different from what we said at the beginning?? Or do you really intend to drag us to death together?? If I knew you were acting like this from the beginning, I would not agree to cooperate with you!! "
"You Zhen family are all a bunch of trash. Zhen Shihai is, and so is his son. Even you are no exception. Are you a fucking pig-brained person? You assassinated the imperial envoy and killed Fan Xingzhao. Does *** know that he How much trouble will death bring to us!!"
"You still want to kill Lin Ruhai?? Do you know who his son-in-law is?? Are you afraid that we won't die fast enough!!"
Zhen Tu smiled coldly when he heard this.
"What are you afraid of? I know who Lin Ruhai's son-in-law is. He was the one who was killed. He destroyed our Zhen family. If this sworn hatred is possible, I will definitely let him experience the fate of the entire family!!"
Hearing this, Guan Shan narrowed his eyes. Zhen Tu didn't know the details of Jia Qi, but he knew that if he really recruited that guy, let alone defeat, it would be good to escape.
"You're not scared out of your wits by Jia Qi, are you?! We have a big killer weapon like Luxun bomb. No matter how powerful Jia Qi is, he can still defeat us. If one bomb can't kill him, ten of them will. , if ten doesn’t work, then a hundred!!”
"If he dares to come, I will kill him to pieces this time!!!"
Hearing Zhen Tu's confident words, Guan Shan smiled sarcastically.
The frog at the bottom of the well doesn't know how big the sky is.
He has never seen Jia Qi cut off the river with one sword, and he may never believe that there is such a thing in the world.
In the face of existence, if the thunderbolt is effective, then the word "Guan Shan" must be written upside down.
"If you want to go crazy, go crazy yourself!! I won't keep you company!!"
Hearing this, Zhen Tu smiled coldly.
"Master Guan, you are so kind and want to strengthen the White Lotus Sect and do righteous things. If Zhen says something unpleasant, you will never be able to achieve it!!"
"Now that we have such a sharp weapon in our hands, if you don't dare to fight it, what do you hope for in the future?? Continue to be a rat in the stinking ditch?? Hide in the dark underground and linger on?"
Guan Shan's footsteps paused, and then his body flashed. His body moved in just a moment, and his hands that looked a little skinny pinched Zhen Tu's throat.
"Zhen Tu, don't think that you can speak like this in front of me just because you got the thunderbolt. Even the head of your Zhen family, Zhen Shihai, is just a peer in front of me. You are not worthy!!"
"Thunderbolts are okay against those who are unprepared. In my eyes, they are nothing. Those kinds of things only count if they hit people. It's okay against those soldiers, but against us people in the world, do you think we will be honest?" Stay where you are??”
"As for you ants, I can easily crush you to death. Don't take yourselves too seriously. Between us, you are relying on us, not us rushing to beg you!"
"Do you know why Lin Ruhai didn't die? Do you know what state the people around him are in? To tell you the truth, if those people hadn't protected Lin Ruhai and had no intention of taking action, these people in the Zhen family would have died long ago! !」
The strength in Guan Shan's hand gradually increased, and the anger in his eyes became heavier. They had discovered this problem before when they came into contact with Lin Ruhai's group of people. Those people were not ordinary people in the world at all.
It was a group of top masters in the martial arts world, the most inferior of which had the strength of the deputy leader of the White Lotus Sect, which shocked him at the time.
When did such a group of people appear in the world? It would be effortless for these people to unify the Jiangnan martial arts world. He even guessed that those people were sent by Jia Chu to protect Lin Ruhai. After all, Lin Ruhai was Jia Chu's nominal father-in-law. .
When he thought of this, he became even more angry at the bastard in front of him who failed to achieve anything but failed.
If Jia Qi is really tempted to take action, their chances of survival are slim to none.
Originally, I planned to secretly develop a little secret and slowly develop and grow, but I didn't want to be completely disrupted by this idiot in front of me. Unfortunately, they who were far away in Yangzhou had not received the information yet. The person sent by the capital this time was Jia Qi. And the big snow dragon cavalry has set off again
At this moment, a slightly aged voice came into Guan Shan's ears, "This little friend, please give me some face~~"
