Zhang Jiayi is a smart person who understands rules and current affairs.
At this moment, he understood a lot.
The dignified regent arrived at his home quietly, without the protection of the Youzhou government officials, and only brought four delicate beauties with him!
This was obviously something the regent had concealed from all the officials in Youzhou Prefecture!
This also shows that the regent knows everything about the illegal salt sales in Youzhou, at least he has grasped some clues.
This is a vine.
Even if he didn't say anything, he could still feel up along the vine.
Youzhou officialdom is finished!
This guy will definitely be hunted down by the regent.
Regardless of whether it is Lord Yanzheng Zhu of Youzhou or Magistrate Tian, I am afraid that their homes will be confiscated and their families will be exterminated!
And myself...
Whether you say it or not, there is only one way!
Dead end!
Zhang Jiayi knelt down with a pop.
The sweat on his forehead fell to the ground.
"Prince Regent... you villain, you will die!"
Li Chenan looked at Zhang Jiayi with interest, "You do have to die, but not now."
"You might as well tell me everything you know. At least you won't suffer the pain."
"Of course you don't have to say anything to protect them, but do you think I can't find out if you don't say anything?"
Zhang Jiayi kowtowed three times in a row: "The villain, the villain is all here!"
There is no tight-lippedness or final stubbornness.
In this way, half an hour later, Zhang Jiayi told Li Chenan everything about the people and things he could come into contact with.
He even took Zhongli Ruoshui to his study and took out a wooden box.
Inside are all the account books he handled.
Including whose hands the salt went to, and whose pocket the money earned went to.
Li Chenan did not look through it at the moment, and asked Xia Hua to tie up Zhangjiayi Wuhuada, escorted Zhangjiayi, boarded the carriage, and headed towards Yuelai Inn.
Just opposite Zhangjiayi's courtyard.
It's on the second floor in the front yard of Yupinglou.
A woman happened to see this scene.
She was suddenly startled, and after a moment, she went downstairs, got into a carriage, and sped towards Tao's mansion.
Her carriage passed by the entrance of the Youzhou Branch of the Daqi Gang.
She heard the commotion outside.
Lifting up the curtains and taking a look, she was shocked again——
The entrance to the Youzhou branch of the Daqi Gang was surrounded by soldiers!
At this moment, many soldiers were entering with swords and guns, and then there were sounds of fighting and screams.
She looked up and saw rows of archers on the roof.
They are shooting arrows.
In the gap between the rounds of arrows, a man flew up from the patio with a sword in his hand!
That's a woman!
A woman with gray hair!
She is Leng Linlin, the leader of the Youzhou branch of the Daqi Gang!
At this moment, her face was ferocious and covered in blood.
She took one step across the air and landed on the roof!
The long sword in her hand glowed with sword light, and immediately more than ten archers died tragically under her long sword!
"Tian Xiugui!"
"You actually dare to destroy our banner gang!"
"Don't you know how much benefit your brother Tian Xiurong has received from me?"
A man stood up and landed on the roof.
He is Tian Xiugui, the general of Youzhou Prefecture!
Tian Xiurong's biological brother.
"Hahahaha... Commander Leng, Commander Leng!"
"You absolutely shouldn't, you shouldn't assassinate the regent!"
"Can a fool like you touch the regent's precious body?"
Leng Linlin was immediately shocked: "What? You said I assassinated the regent?"
"snort!"
Tian Xiugui's face turned cold: "If it wasn't your Daqi Gang who did it, why did you dare to resist Magistrate Tian's order!"
"Stop talking nonsense and arrest me without any effort. If it wasn't you, I would have let you go and restored your innocence!"
Leng Linlin's heart suddenly became cold.
The assassination of the Prince Regent was a huge event!
Tian Xiurong must catch the murderer before he can give an explanation to the regent.
But if he can't catch the real culprit, someone must take the blame!
This is the consistent behavior of the government.
If he falls into their hands... When the young gang leader gets the news and comes to rescue him, he is afraid that he will be beheaded!
"What I want to tell you is that this matter was definitely not done by the Daqi Gang!"
"I won't be able to catch you without any help... look at the sword!"
Leng Linlin pulled out the long sword in her hand and pulled out blossoming sword flowers.
Tian Xiugui drew his sword.
He took two simple knives and struck Leng Linlin with both feet.
Leng Linlin only made a false move with her sword!
She flew up and flew in the other direction.
Tian Xiugui stopped, sheathed his swords, and took the bow and arrow from an archer's hand.
He opened his bow and nocked an arrow, narrowed his eyes slightly, and shot an arrow towards Leng Linlin's back.
Arrows are as fast as the wind.
Leng Linlin was in the air. She twisted her body and struck the arrow behind her with one sword.
The arrow shafts of the Fu soldiers are made of wood, but the arrows are made of iron.
She cut off the arrow shaft with a sword, but the arrow shot into her body!
"Pfft!"
Leng Linlin was in pain. The arrow hit her shoulder blade.
Ignoring the pain, she gritted her teeth and roared: "Tian Xiugui... I will avenge this!"
Tian Xiugui lowered his hands and frowned at Leng Linlin's retreating back, feeling quite confused in his heart.
After all, the Youzhou branch of the banner family has done a lot of work for the government to sell illicit salt. Although the old woman, Captain Leng, has a weird temper, she still has a general understanding.
How could she assassinate the regent?
Even if my brother wants to find a scapegoat, he just needs to arrest more quacks.
Why do you want to arrest the people who worked for the Youzhou Branch of the Daqi Gang by name?
he does not know.
He gave an order with a gloomy face: "Let me search the entire city for the assassin Leng Linlin... life or death!"
Of course the girl in the carriage didn't even know.
She was stunned!
All she knew was that something big had happened!
As for this important matter, the master must be informed as soon as possible.
The carriage continued to move forward, and soon came to a quiet alley and stopped in front of a quiet gate.
It was a tall vermilion door.
In front of the door there is a pair of braves carved from white marble.
On the lintel of the gate are two large characters with flying dragons and phoenixes——
Dow!
The girl got off the carriage, lifted up her skirt, hurried up the stairs and stood in front of the door, knocking on the door knocker.
After a moment, the door creaked open a crack, and a head stuck out from the crack.
"Hey, Miss Yuzhu..."
Then, the man in the crack of the door stretched out a hand and landed on Miss Yuzhu's chest.
"go away!"
Yuzhu slapped his hand away, "I have something urgent and I need to see the head of the family!"
The door opened.
A wretched man about thirty years old stood behind the door with a playful smile, "The master of the house is busy at the moment, why don't we go and have some fun first!"
Yuzhu glared at the man: "Tuesday Gouzi, I really have something important, and it's a big deal!"
She glanced sideways, revealing a look of disdain: "As for your work... I can only crack two melon seeds..."
Zhou Fugui's face turned red and he pulled Yu Zhu into his arms.
"Young lady, don't even think about lying to me!"
"I counted, you have cracked at least five melon seeds!"
