Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 535
"Continue talking." Li Canghai frowned.

"At that time, I wanted to become rich and to marry Feng Niang in a good manner, so under the bewitching of Yang Guozhong, I went to help him assassinate the court official. Afterwards, in order to consolidate his power, he secretly colluded with a He ganged up with Japanese pirates and plundered around the coastal area. And he sent troops to encircle and suppress them and claim credit from the imperial court. Later, there were more and more Japanese pirates. In order to prevent the imperial court from suppressing them, they all hid on Sang Island A mountain city has been established. And I am Yang Guozhong's eyeliner in Yangzhou."

Zhang Wenyuan paused, and then said: "Over the years, the imperial court has sent troops to suppress them many times, but they failed every time. The reason is that I secretly informed the ronin of Sang Island about the imperial army's marching plan."

Li Canghai frowned suddenly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Does Yang Guozhong know about this?"

"All of this was instructed by Yang Guozhong, so he naturally knows." Zhang Wenyuan glanced at him, and said deeply: "Yang Guozhong wants to cultivate the rogues of Sang Island into his own force, so naturally he will not just sit back and watch them being killed." Cleared up by the imperial court."

Li Cang snorted, and said: "I'm afraid this team has already exceeded his control! Raising tigers is a danger, and sooner or later they will be injured by tigers. Go ahead and talk about it!"

Zhang Wenyuan nodded, and said: "In recent years, the demand for ronin from Sang Island has been increasing. According to their previous agreement with Yang Guozhong, they only go to the inland to plunder once every two months, but in recent years it has been every ten days. I looted once every half a month, and every time I looted a place of wealth. I told Yang Guozhong about this, but Yang Guozhong didn't take it seriously. Instead, he asked me to cooperate with them. However, in the past few years, they let I bought a lot of ironware."

"Ironware? What do they want ironware for?" Di Qing asked in surprise.

Li Canghai's face suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "I want iron, so it's for weapons. It seems that the number of ronin in Sang Island is increasing rapidly."

Zhang Wenyuan also nodded and said: "My lord is right. I have been to Sang Island once, and it is indeed as what your lord said. In the past few years, there have been nearly a thousand Japanese pirates on Sang Island!"

"Nearly a thousand people? So many?" Di Qing was astonished.

Zhang Wenyuan nodded, and said: "I also find it strange that there are so many pirates suddenly appearing. What's even more strange is that they haven't harassed the coastal villages and towns since half a year ago. Until a few days ago, But the demon came here suddenly, and brought Yang Guozhong's secret letter, asking me to contact the ronin of Sang Island."

"Spirit?" Li Canghai frowned suddenly.

He once heard Xue Xuan say that Yang Guozhong had four major killers under his command, known as: demons and demons.

Among them, Qi and Mei had already died, but he had never seen Yao.

Zhang Wenyuan patted his head suddenly, and explained: "I don't know, my lord. More than ten years ago, Yang Guozhong began to recruit assassins, and selected elites from them to form an assassination organization called 'Yan Luo'. The four demons He is Yang Guozhong's most trusted confidant killer."

"How many people are there in this organization? Do you know their identities?" Li Canghai thought of Tang Ao who assassinated Feng Shisanniang and others, so he hurriedly asked.

Zhang Wenyuan shook his head and said: "This organization is controlled by Yang Guozhong alone. No one knows how many people there are, and the killers don't know each other. I only know that the four ghosts and ghosts have mysterious origins and strange martial arts. They can kill people invisible. .Other than that, I don't know anything else."

"Forget it, you just said that he brought Yang Guozhong's secret letter, but where is the secret letter?" Li Canghai asked with a frown.

Zhang Wenyuan said: "What the demon brought was a message, and there is no evidence left."

"What content?" Li Canghai asked.

"The message said, let me contact the ronin of Sang Island and order them to intercept the Dongpu envoys and snatch back the three artifacts of Dongpu!" Zhang Wenyuan said.

Li Canghai and Conan were startled at the same time. Although they guessed that the purpose of the ronin of Sang Island was the three great artifacts, what they didn't expect was that they were ordered by Yang Guozhong.

"Brother Li, I don't understand why Yang Guozhong, as the Prime Minister of your Tang Dynasty, wanted to grab the three great artifacts?" Conan asked with a frown.

Li Canghai touched his nose, and said in a deep voice: "The three major artifacts are of great importance, not to mention that they contain the secret of the elixir of life. I think there are only two reasons for this. One is that he wants to obtain the elixir of life, and the other is that Snatch the three major artifacts from my hand, and then give them to the Holy Majesty, so as to show your loyalty to the Holy Majesty."

Di Qing snorted displeasedly, and said: "This Yang Guozhong, what a vicious mind! He ordered people to take away the three artifacts, and the Holy One would think that Canghai's protection was not good, and he would punish him for losing the three artifacts. Afterwards, he Then present the three major artifacts to the Holy Majesty, in this way, the Holy Majesty will definitely regard him as a loyal minister, so that he can not only deal with the sea, but also gain fame. What a poisonous plan to kill two birds with one stone!"

Li Canghai looked at Di Qing in surprise, and said with a soft smile, "Qing'er, you amaze me more and more! You can see so many things. It seems that going to sea this time has really made you grow up." Read less!"

Di Qing was stunned for a moment, and when she heard Li Canghai's praise, her pretty cheeks blushed instantly.

Even she herself didn't notice any changes in herself. She and Li Canghai went through life and death, which had a great impact on her psyche and made her mature a lot.

"Although Yang Guozhong's wishful thinking is good, it's a pity that the opponent he met was me. It's not that easy to take away the three artifacts from me. Go ahead." Li Canghai snorted faintly, Said to Zhang Wenyuan.

Zhang Wenyuan nodded, and said: "I informed the Sangdao ronin of the news. They said that they had sent the most elite men, and they would definitely take back the three artifacts. But five days ago, Ueda Takashi came to me suddenly and said that they The ambush failed, and the envoys have arrived in Yangzhou safely. If you want to get back the three artifacts, you have to do it in Yangzhou. And doing it in Yangzhou will definitely cause turmoil. Instead of doing this, it is better to capture Yangzhou directly. In this way , not only can grab the three major artifacts, but also allow them to loot them."

"Yang Guozhong agreed to this plan?" Conan seemed unable to believe what he heard. The Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty actually colluded with the bandits and conspired with him to capture the richest city in the Tang Dynasty. This is simply shocking!
Zhang Wenyuan took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

Li Canghai touched his nose and said, "Yang Guozhong's actions are probably not as simple as obtaining the three great artifacts. He is trying to put me to death!"

"How do you say that?" Conan asked in surprise.
