The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 28 Assassination of Di Renjie

In the night, depose the emissary to go to the gate

Di Renjie, the deposed emissary who was ordered to inspect Yangzhou, has been here for more than a month.

At the beginning, Yangzhou officials were respectful to him.

But as he continued to visit the people, and as the investigation deepened, officials at all levels began to shirk and cover up each other.

Some dark forces have even sent Jianghu people to disrupt the situation.

This made Di Renjie feel more and more that the water in Yangzhou was very deep, and King Ying's power in Yangzhou should not be underestimated.

Those people dared to assassinate even the third-rank officials of the dynasty, they were simply lawless!

In the study, Di Renjie was busy sorting out the clues he had collected.

"My lord, are you still asleep?"

Li Yuanfang came in with a cup of ginseng tea.

"Yuanfang." Di Renjie took the tea and said, "I can't sleep!
The officials in Yangzhou are colluding and exploiting the people under the rule level by level. If they don't uproot them, how can they be worthy of the people of Yangzhou! "

"That's right!" Li Yuanfang also felt concerned: "Although I knew about their evil deeds, I didn't expect their power to be so intertwined.

The whole of Yangzhou is almost under their control, and it seems to be a country within a country! "

"Because of this, we must eradicate them as soon as possible!" Di Renjie said: "If they are allowed to develop, they will definitely lead to catastrophe in the future!"

Li Yuanfang nodded, deeply agreeing with this.

Now those people dare to assassinate the dethroning envoy sent by the imperial court, and it is not surprising that they will commit any major crimes in the future.

"Now we have the testimonies of the water workers. As long as we find out the accounts of those people's embezzlement and destruction, we can punish them!" Di Renjie said.

In fact, what he cares most about is not these corrupt officials, but Ying Wang Yuanqi.

This person has been hiding behind the scenes and has never shown his feet.

Even with witnesses and physical evidence, it is difficult to prove that Yuan Qi is connected with these things, and that the culprit is not implicated.

I can only hope on the other side of worry!
Di Renjie thought in his heart.

Just at this moment, a subtle sound of breaking through the air sounded.

Li Yuanfang's expression changed, and he immediately blocked Di Renjie with his sword.

ding ding ding-

The chain knife is as fast as a gust of wind, turning into an unbreakable barrier, blocking all the incoming hidden weapons,
"Zhang Huan Li Lang!"

Li Yuanfang shouted loudly and called the heads of the Eight Great Army outside the door.

"My lord, General Li!"

Zhang Huan and Li Lang rushed into the house upon hearing the sound.

"You two lead Qianniuwei to protect the adults, and I will catch the assassin!"

Li Yuanfang chased after leaving these words.

In the silent night, Li Yuanfang and the black-clothed assassin chased each other for an entire incense stick.

"Brother Shen, it's almost there!"

Li Yuanfang suddenly spoke.

He had already recognized the identity of the person, otherwise, how could he have chased him out so rashly?
The man in black took off his scarf, it was Shen Youzhi.

"Although the hidden weapons you fired were fierce, clumsiness outweighed ingenuity, so the sound was particularly pronounced. This is obviously not the method used by the killer to assassinate."

Seeing Shen Youzhi, Li Yuanfang explained with a smile: "That's why I immediately thought that the person who came was not the assassin of the Iron Hands, but you, Brother Shen."

Shen Youzhi heard the words, and said: "Brother Yuanfang is indeed very witty.

I am here this time to discuss with you. "

Afterwards, he broke himself into the iron hand group and informed Li Yuanfang of Yuan Qi's plan.

"There are still four assassins? Isn't my lord very dangerous now!"

Li Yuanfang said anxiously when he heard that the Iron Hands and assassins were coming.

"Brother Yuanfang, don't worry." Shen Youzhi said: "Those four people's martial arts are not top-notch, Qianniuwei is enough to handle it."

Although the leaders of the eight major armies are not top-notch experts, with the coordination of the eight, even Li Yuanfang cannot break through their blockade in a short time.

What's more, there are a large number of Qianniuwei around Di Renjie.

The Qianniu Guards are the emperor's personal guards, and each of them is an elite soldier who counts as ten.

With only the four hall masters of the Tie Shou group, it is impossible to get past Qianniuwei's heavy protection.

"Brother Yuanfang, how is the progress on your side?"

Shen Youzhi comforted Li Yuanfang, and asked again.

Li Yuanfang didn't delay, and told them one by one what they had gained so far.

Hearing that they wanted to check the account books embezzled and sold by Yuan Qi and others, Shen Youzhi immediately said: "If my prediction is correct, the account books should be hidden in Hongtong Cabinet!
It is the property of King Ying, who is responsible for laundering money for them. "

It may sound magical that a mafia organization will also have ledgers, but it is not uncommon.

Because triad organizations also have superiors and subordinates and division of labor, superiors also have to pay wages to their subordinates.

Therefore, they, like organizations in general, face financial problems.

The source and flow of every sum of money must be clearly recorded, otherwise the subordinates will not know how much money the superior has allocated, and the superior will not know how much the subordinate has earned.

What's more, due to the lack of clear financial records, subordinates can be greedy at will, middle managers can deduct money at will, and superiors are blind.

As a result, the entire organization will be in chaos sooner or later.

This is impossible for the leader of any organization to tolerate.

Therefore, even organizations engaged in black production must have special account books.

This is not only a necessary means to maintain the organizational structure, but also the easiest way for superiors to monitor subordinates.

"This records the identities of the various hall masters of the Iron Hands, as well as the location of their respective forces."

Shen Youzhi took out the map he had drawn from his bosom and handed it to Li Yuanfang.

"Great!" Li Yuanfang took the map and said pleasantly: "With this information, as long as we get the account books in Hongtong Cabinet, we can catch them all!"

Seeing that the matter had been explained, Shen Youzhi said, "It's almost time, you should go back.

Those killers don't move for now, just let them go. "

If this operation failed, if he was the only one who escaped unscathed, it would inevitably arouse Yuan Qi's suspicion.

Now that I have completed the original mission, I delayed Li Yuanfang for half an hour.

Even if the assassination fails, it's not his turn to take the blame.

Letting those killers go back is to make them bear Yuan Qi's anger.

Li Yuanfang nodded: "I understand."

Immediately, he said again: "After getting the evidence, my lord will mobilize the government soldiers from several nearby state government offices to raid the entrances of the Iron Hands Group, and then encircle the Yuan Qi Iron Wall!"

From big to small, gradually narrow the encirclement, this is the safest way to fight more and less.

That is to say, step by step and fight the "dull war".

Although this is time-consuming and laborious, it is also the least prone to accidents.

"Okay, then I will wait for the good news at Crouching Tiger Village!" Shen Youzhi clasped his hands.

Immediately, the two parted ways.

Shen Youzhi planned to report directly to Yuan Qi.

And Li Yuanfang was going back to clean up the mess.

Hongtong Cabinet, secret room
Shen Youzhi didn't expect that he would be the last one to come back.

Originally, he thought that without Li Yuanfang, Qianniuwei would at most hold back these killers, and then wait for Li Yuanfang to go back to clean up the mess.

Unexpectedly, these people were so useless that they were forced to retreat by Qianniuwei, and even almost fell into the hands of Qianniuwei!
"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

Yuan Qi pointed at the four and cursed.

"After finally transferring Li Yuanfang away, you can't even take care of Di Renjie's guards. What use are you for!"

"I think you are used to domineering, and you have even forgotten your old profession!"

"A group of killers who can't kill people, what's the use of keeping you?"

Facing Yuan Qi's reprimand, the four hall masters could only bow their heads silently, speechless.

As a killer, failure to kill a target is a complete failure.

"This time, let's save your life for the time being. Each of you will lose one arm and make meritorious deeds." Yuan Qi said mercilessly: "If you fail in the next mission, you don't have to come back to see me!"

"Thank you suzerain for forgiveness!"

Although they were punished with a broken arm, the four still thanked them loudly.

"Go down and receive the punishment yourself!"

Yuan Qi repelled the four impatiently.

"Subordinates retire!"

The four retreated immediately, ready to accept punishment.

After they left, Shen Youzhi opened his mouth slowly and said, "The suzerain doesn't need to be angry.

After all, Di Renjie is an important minister in the court, and there are many guards around him.

If we want to deal with him, we need careful planning. "

"Hmph!" Yuan Qi snorted coldly: "It's all those incompetent trash!

Even a group of small guards can't deal with it, what a group of drunks and rice bags!
If it wasn't for the king not being able to act personally, how could he be so passive! "

The anger gradually subsided, and Yuan Qi asked: "Brother Shen, you and Li Yuanfang have been fighting for half an hour, how is his martial arts?"
