Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 672 Details Behind the Assassination

"Fulu, now that you are back, can you tell us about it?"

"To be honest, I still don't understand why Li Shanchang's nephew regards me as an enemy."

"Besides, where does he get the courage and manpower to cause trouble to us?"

After giving the reward money, Master Hu ignored the jubilant looks of Li Fulu and others and raised his own questions immediately.

For some things, you should ask the person involved.

After all, the things that Mao Xiang told Mr. Hu were actually what Li Fulu got out of the gang of pirates on the road.

Since this is a retelling, there will naturally be omissions.

What Mr. Hu wants to listen to now is the most original and formal version.

Li Fulu couldn't help but become more serious when he heard this, and looked at Master Hu and said sternly.

"Master Hu, some of the questions you asked just now are so difficult for me to answer!"

"I was escorting your family back home with my brothers when we encountered that gang of pirates."

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, Mr. Hu, but it was really thrilling at the time."

"Master Hu, you know that I am timid and afraid of death!"

"So, when we stayed overnight, I arranged two visible sentries in front and behind, but I still felt it was not enough, so I also arranged a hidden sentry!"

Speaking of this, Li Fulu couldn't help but show a bit of satisfaction.

"What a coincidence! It was this secret sentry who performed meritorious service!"

"There were two clear guards in front and behind, but someone put a knife to my neck and I didn't dare to say a word!"

"If it weren't for the sentry's warning, I'm afraid all of us on this boat would have died!"

"So, under the urgent situation, we also got ruthless!"

"To be honest, we were in a hurry and acted too harshly. We killed four of the seven people who got on board during the chaos."

"It's a good thing that the remaining three have good physiques, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to get this little confession!"

Speaking of this, Li Fulu was actually very scared.

The Jinyiwei were not specifically responsible for guarding.

They can act as guards, but gathering intelligence is more important.

Therefore, when Li Fulu saw that there were almost no survivors, he was really anxious.

He also wanted to know where this pirate came from.

Not to mention the credit after getting the confession, just for the sake of their own lives, they also need to know whether there will be any follow-up attacks.

As for Mr. Hu, he was actually feeling fortunate.

He chose Li Fulu not because of his ability to get things done.

More importantly, it was because Li Fulu was a man who knew how to deal with things, and he went there to be a funny and entertaining companion.

After all, Li Fulu was well-known in the Jinyiwei at that time for being cowardly and afraid of death, and he just wanted to get by.

But who would have thought that it was precisely because of this guy's fear of death that he gave everyone a surprise.

It's really against the will of heaven!

Even Master Hu wasn't on the boat, and there were only a few concubines and family members on board, but Li Fulu actually arranged both visible and hidden sentries!

I'm afraid even the pirates who sneaked onto the boat were frightened at that time.

Damn, it’s just an ordinary passenger ship, and there are secret sentries!
Just thinking about it seems outrageous!

Speaking of this, Li Fulu is still scared. "Master Hu, you know, we can only deal with a few guards who are good at fighting with fists, feet and knives."

"I was almost scared to death when I suddenly encountered such a group of fierce bandits!"

"So, when we were interrogating him, we really put a lot of thought into it!"

Having said that, Li Fulu straightened his chest and his face became more solemn.

"After investigation, it was found that the mastermind behind this incident was Zhou Tingen, who is only 19 years old and has lived in Suzhou for a long time."

"His mother is Li Shanchang's cousin. However, because she is a close relative of Li Shanchang, Li Shanchang privately takes good care of this cousin and nephew."

"However, because Zhou Ting'en is Li Shanchang's youngest nephew and was raised in Zhou's hometown since childhood, he was left behind when the Li Shanchang case broke out."

"But this person is a vengeful person. He used the Zhou family's influence and money in Suzhou to make friends with a bunch of people in the underworld. The most important thing is that he won over the thousand households of the garrison."

"According to the introduction of the local garrison commander, he secretly gathered a group of veteran soldiers who had survived under the command of Chen Youliang and others during the late Yuan Dynasty."

"This group of people have been to the battlefield and stained their blood. They only know how to fight and kill. They want to make a fortune but can't find a legitimate way to make a living. In the end, they got involved with Zhou Tingen."

"This attack was actually Zhou Tingen's first move."

"Before this, in order to test the abilities of these people, he had actually asked them to wipe out a wealthy merchant who had a grudge against the Zhou family."

"It was precisely because he was not the one responsible for the extermination of his entire family that he felt that the Jinyiwei were nothing special, and he became even more rampant in the end."

Li Fulu sneered a few times when he said this!

Obviously, Zhou Tingen's contempt for the Jinyiwei made Li Fulu feel particularly unhappy even at this moment.

You know, the position of Jinyiwei is hereditary.

In other words, his family can make a living from this for generations.

Isn't looking down on the Jinyiwei just looking down on him, Li Fulu?
Even though he is like a salted fish in the Jinyiwei headquarters and is notoriously cowardly and afraid of death, this does not mean that he is incapable.

"Oh, and then, what a shame, Zhou Ting'en is rampant in Suzhou, and you, Master Hu, have gone to Suzhou!"

"The point is that although you didn't make a big fuss about it, you basically didn't hide your whereabouts!"

"Then, Zhou Tingen found out!"

"After that, he has been planning to assassinate you!"

"Unfortunately, during that time, not only were we and the local Jinyiwei Qianhu Division always by your side, but you were also dealing with the prefectural government."

"So Zhou Tin can only wait patiently this week."

"Then he waited all the way until I was on my way back, and then he found the opportunity to attack!"

"It's funny, Zhou Tingen thinks he is extremely intelligent and has many brave warriors under his command, but he even got your information wrong."

"He didn't know at all that you were urgently summoned back to the capital. He always thought that it was you on the boat that I was escorting back!"

Hearing this, Mr. Hu frowned slightly.

He took a deep breath, looked around, and his eyes finally fell on Li Fulu.

"Fulu, thank you for your hard work on this trip!"

"But, right now, I have an errand to do, and I want to ask for your opinion!"

"Are you willing to take your people to Suzhou again?"

"what?"

After hearing what Master Hu said, Li Fulu was completely stunned!

Going to Suzhou again?
