Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 484: Eliminating the Red Salamander
"Husband, I actually think that you seem to be overthinking it. After all, you see, first of all, this news is not direct, but it only has this meaning."

"Besides, even if the King of Yan really wrote this, what impact will it have on us? Anyway, they all listen to you now, right?"

"You can't say that they won't listen to you just because of this letter, right? I think nothing is absolute. Everything depends on how you act." Chang Ge said
"Madam, I am so lucky to have you. You are right. I took it too seriously. In fact, whether it is true or not, it has no impact on the present." Xue Wanfeng said

"My dear husband, I hope you can figure it out. In fact, it's not that you can't figure it out, but you are just confused by the situation and can't see it as clearly as I do." Changge comforted
"Thank you, ma'am. I'm fine now. Let's talk about business. According to the time, they should be here by now. Is there any movement recently?" Xue Wanfeng said

"My dear husband, it has been a while since the news was released, but they still haven't made any move." Changge said
"Oh? They are quite patient. Then we don't have to worry about them. Anyway, we don't have to worry about the Ashile tribe before the beginning of next spring. Let's just let them be for now." Xue Wanfeng said

"Okay, I understand. Actually, I was a little anxious before, but Le Yan reminded me later, so I mean the same thing now." Chang Ge said
"That little girl was able to remind you, Madam? It seems that she is still of some use." Xue Wanfeng said

"Husband, what did you say? Do you want to think about it carefully before you speak?" Changge asked back
"Ahem, Madam, I said the wrong thing, I said the wrong thing. Well, if you don't have anything else to say, then I'll leave first, okay?" After Jiao Wu finished speaking, he turned around and left.

A month passed in the blink of an eye. During this month, Xue Wanfeng was still the same as before, not in a hurry at all, and the same was true for Changge.

As a result, the other side could no longer sit still. At this time, in the courtyard in the north of the city.

"Madam, Li Changge has suddenly stopped moving in the past month. All our people have been idle and put aside." The confidant said
"Hmm? Not moving? It seems that I still underestimated Xue Wanfeng. Since they are not fooled, we can't wait any longer. Let's throw out a bait and test them." Madam Jinse said
"Yes, madam. I'll do it right away." The confidant bowed and said
After he left, Mrs. Jinse frowned. She knew she was in trouble. This sudden change told her that her opponent was more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.

In the Youzhou Governor's Mansion, a maid who was in charge of sweeping the inner courtyard suddenly walked to Mimiguli's room and knocked on the door as agreed in advance.

Mimiguli in the room was startled when she heard the rhythmic sound, because she knew that what was coming was coming. She hurried forward to open the door and let the person into her room.

"The leader asked you to find a way to investigate Xue Wanfeng's diet and daily life." said the maid
"Ah? What do you mean? You want me to investigate this? I can't even leave my room now, how can you ask me to investigate it?" Mimiguli naturally didn't want to take this task.

"I don't know about this. This is what the leader told me. As for other things, don't ask me. It has nothing to do with me. Okay, I should go now. Remember your mission." said the maid.
"Wait, please go back and tell the leader that my mission this time is very dangerous. If I'm not careful, I might die. So can I go to my brother's place?" Mimiguli said
"Don't worry, your brother has been arranged to be with the young master." said the maid
"Really? That's great. Please rest assured, Chief. I will complete the mission." Mimiguli said
The maid nodded after hearing this, then left the room and left quickly. What she didn't know was that she had been under surveillance since she bought the room.

So Changge received the news very quickly and she hurried to find her husband.

"Hmm? Madam, you mean? They showed up?" Xue Wanfeng said

"Yes, they did show up. I understand that the woman is in charge of sweeping the inner courtyard. I have to admit that they are really capable."

"I have investigated so many times before, but I couldn't find her." Li Changge frowned.

"Madam, don't worry. They have been in Youzhou for a long time. It's normal that we can't find them. Don't worry. Since they have already appeared, they can't run away!"

"Madam, you haven't met the slave girl yet, right? Don't meet her for now. Wait a few days. As for the clues outside the mansion, I will let Wang Li handle it." Xue Wanfeng said

"Well, I understand, husband. Husband, do we really not need to make any preparations?" Chang Ge said
"Madam, do you think they only have this one maid in this mansion? If we make preparations, they will know about it soon, so we can't act rashly now."

"Now is the time when we need to be calm. The more stable we are, the more anxious they will be." Xue Wanfeng said

"I understand, husband. Don't worry, I will find them all!" Changge said
Xue Wanfeng just smiled after hearing this, and then said directly, "Of course I believe you, Madam, but you see the time is just right, can we do it, ok?"

Three days later at noon, in the courtyard in the north of the city, Madam Jinse frowned and asked, "You said they didn't react? They didn't follow us, and they didn't see Mimiguli?"

"Yes, ma'am. We are all watching them. They really didn't do anything. In order to prevent any problems, I changed three lines on purpose. The information is consistent." said the confidant
"Xue Wanfeng, ah Xue Wanfeng, what exactly do you want to do? Are you really not worried at all? But if you are not worried, then why do you keep testing me?"

"Well, since he's not in a hurry, let's put it aside for now. I have to go back to the grassland soon. We can talk about everything after I come back." Mrs. Jinse said
After hearing this, the confidant naturally hurriedly bowed and then left, while Madam Jinse continued to ponder, thinking about what to do next.

Time passed quickly and seven days later, Madam Jinse led her people to leave Youzhou City. When she left, Wang Li told Xue Wanfeng about his discoveries of the past few days.

"Hmm? They suddenly stopped moving? Those who were moving before have all stopped. General, should we put it on hold for now?" Wang Li said
"Although I don't know why they stopped moving, no matter what their reason is, it will not affect us. Our plan remains the same, and we will take action when we need to." Xue Wanfeng said

"Yes, General. I'll give the order right away." Wang Li immediately saluted and said
Wang Li quickly arranged the personnel, and thus, a siege began. The people of the Red Salamander organization never expected that the people from the Governor's Office would suddenly take action, so they suffered heavy losses.

In just one day, Wang Li and his men captured more than 30 people and killed quite a few of them.

"General, we have dealt with all the people we know about. We have captured more than 30 people alive this time. I am arranging people to interrogate them as soon as possible. I think we will have news tomorrow." Wang Li said
"Well, not bad, not bad. You did a great job. How about this? Let's go together tomorrow to see what these rats in the gutter are doing!" Xue Wanfeng said with a smile.

After hearing this, Wang Li naturally bowed and then left the study. After he left, Xue Wanfeng naturally would not stay here for long, but went straight back to his room.

"Husband, you're back? How is it going? Are things going well?" Changge asked

"Ma'am, don't worry. Things are going very smoothly. We have captured more than 30 people alive this time. I am planning to go there and keep an eye on them myself tomorrow." Xue Wanfeng said directly

"Really? That's great. This way we can feel more at ease." Changge said happily.
"Yes, I am relieved now. But ma'am, the problem outside has been solved, but there has been no change in our house?" "In order to prevent them from doing anything desperate, you must be more careful these days. I will ask Wang Li to arrange enough manpower for you." Xue Wanfeng said

"Well, don't worry, husband, I know what to do." Changge said with a serious face

The next morning, Xue Wanfeng and Wang Li appeared in the prison. Hearing the screams one after another, Xue Wanfeng knew that it had been an all-night interrogation.

"Wang Li, let the brothers stop and take a break. Bring over all the information you have obtained. I will take a look first. It won't be too late to continue after I have finished reading it." Xue Wanfeng said directly

After hearing this, Wang Li naturally hurried to give orders. Soon the screams stopped, and then he returned to Xue Wanfeng with a group of confessions.

Xue Wanfeng picked up the confession and started reading it. The first and second copies were both useless. It was not until the eighth copy that he began to find the content he wanted.

After reading them all, Xue Wanfeng said, "Wang Li, there are only fifteen confessions, which means there are at least ten more. Who are the people who haven't said anything yet?"

"General, the remaining people are all stubborn. The one with the highest status among them is the confidant of the Red Salamander leader. However, he is also the most stubborn one and has said nothing." Wang Li said
"Oh? Then what are we waiting for? Let's go over and take a look. I want to personally meet this loyal subordinate of the Red Salamander leader and see if he is really that tough!" Xue Wanfeng said with a smile

Then Wang Li led the way, and Xue Wanfeng followed him into a cell. He then saw a man covered in blood and looking very weak, tied to a rack.

Wang Li waved his hand, and the people in charge of the interrogation went out. Xue Wanfeng looked at the man in front of him and said, "You are very good, loyal to the Lord, and courageous."

"But what I don't understand is, if you are so loyal, why don't you commit suicide? Judging from your situation, you have the opportunity to commit suicide, but you didn't. Why?"

"Because you don't dare. What do you think? Am I right? You just don't dare. Because you don't dare, you can only suffer like this now."

"Don't talk? It doesn't matter if you don't talk. If you don't want to talk, then just listen to me. The first time the red salamander was known to the world was in the first year of the Wude era, which was the year Emperor Yang of Sui died."

"The exact time of its establishment is no longer known, but its members all have a common identity, that is, the survivors of the late Sui Dynasty."

"These people can't forget the Sui Dynasty and want to restore it, but ten years have passed and they still haven't succeeded. Even Li Yuan, whom they hate, has become the emperor."

"They are like rats crossing the street, everyone wants to kill them. A lot of things have changed in the past ten years, and the biggest change has been to the people."

"Let alone the people today, even the people ten years ago would not miss the Sui Dynasty, because the Sui Dynasty was an experience they could not bear to look back on."

"But Chi Niu is still unwilling to give up and is still working hard for something that is already impossible. In fact, I don't need you to say anything."

"When I learned about the backgrounds of the people in your organization, I knew where you came from. You are from Dingxiang, and Princess Yicheng is behind you, right?" Xue Wanfeng said

"I, I don't know what you are talking about. What red salamander? You got the wrong person. I am just an ordinary businessman. I really don't know anything."

Xue Wanfeng shook his head after hearing this, and then continued, "I don't know? What a good sentence to say I don't know. Let's follow the old rules. I'll talk and you listen."

"I want to know how many of you are still in the Governor's Office. Listen to me, your target is Li Shimin, and my target is also him. I don't want to be your enemy."

"So I'll give you one last chance. How many people have you placed in the Governor's Office? If you don't tell me, I will immediately mobilize my troops to attack Dingxiang." Xue Wanfeng said directly

There was no expression on his face after hearing that word, and there was no change on his face, but Xue Wanfeng was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he continued to sit there and wait. Time passed slowly until half an hour later.

"So much time has passed, have you thought it through?" Xue Wanfeng asked directly
"Ahem, General Xue, you told a very good story, but unfortunately, I don't know the answer you want. Only our leader knows the answer you want."

"Our leader left for the grassland two days ago," the man said.
"Oh? Back to the grassland? Then do you know why she went back? Did she say when she would be back?" Xue Wanfeng frowned.

"How could the leader tell me the reason? As for the time he will come back, it is even more impossible for me to know." The man continued
"Hmm? You think you're so smart? You want me to get angry and kill you, right? But I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Unfortunately, I won't be fooled."

"Just stay here honestly and wait for your leader. You will be reunited soon." After Xue Wanfeng said this, he stood up and left.

"No, no, no, Xue Wanfeng, Xue Wanfeng, don't go, don't go, you kill me, you kill me, you kill me, Xue Wanfeng!"

Xue Wanfeng listened to the voice behind him and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he was still anxious.

"Wang Li, keep an eye on this man. Don't let him die." Xue Wanfeng ordered.
