Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 40

The Yan Party, the Eun Party, and the Yuwang Party all offered sky-high prices to He Liu.

In He Liu's mind, no one else knew that he could only be loyal to one person——Lu Bing, the commander of Jinyiwei.

He Liu doesn't have any ambitions, he doesn't know how to look at the height of the mountain, eat barren and still want to be weak.Lu Bing promoted him to be the sixth child in the 20th Taibao of Jinyiwei. In these years, Lu Bing defended He Liu everywhere.He Liu is not the kind of person who is extremely intelligent.He has been on business for [-] years and has made many mistakes, Lu Bing has covered them up for him one by one. . .

Lu Bing treated him well, and He Liu was a man who would repay his kindness.

No matter what kind of turmoil and bloodshed will be caused by the existence of "Hundred Officials' Book", He Liu must complete the task assigned to him by Commander Lu - to find it!

Among the treasures hidden by Ding Wang at the foot of Yuquan Mountain, there is no trace of "Haiguan Xinglu".In the huge capital city, it is very easy to hide a book, but it is very difficult to find a book.

He Liu and Lao Hu decided to arraign Zhou Zigao, the former governor of Shuntian Prefecture.

Commander Lu has interrogated Zhou Zigao several times, and the corpse idiot Zhao Ci has also sentenced Zhou Zigao—Zhou Zigao really does not know the whereabouts of "Hundred Officials' Records".

He Liu and Lao Hu still decided to try their luck.

The "Truth Room" of the Imperial Prison.

He Liu said to Zhou Zigao, "Master Zhou, we meet again."

Zhou Zigao carried a [-]-pound shackle, and smiled wryly: "I'm no longer a prefect. I'm just a bug locked in the prison."

He Liu told Lao Hu, "Take off the shackles and fetters for him."

Lao Hu obeyed.Removed the shackles and shackles for Zhou Zigao.

Zhou Zigao turned his neck: "Master He, if you have anything to say, you can just ask. I should know that I can talk all kinds of things. I have already fallen into this situation, and I have nothing to hide."

He Liu asked Zhou Zigao: "Ding Wang claims to have more than 5000 eyes and ears in the two capitals and thirteen provinces. It is five times the number of Jinyiwei. These [-] subordinates are always divided into big bosses and small ones." Boss or something?"

Zhou Zigao replied: "I have already told you Commander Lu about this matter. I don't know how Ding Wang manages the 1-plus informants, and how he divides the big and small bosses. I am only responsible for him in the officialdom. The other is to help him transcribe the illegal affairs of the officials into the "Hundred Officials Records."

He Liu said again: "Ding Wang has so many properties in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has to bribe countless officials with huge bribes every month. He can't read a few words, so he must have someone to help him manage the accounts?"

Zhou Zigao said: "Of course there are people in charge of accounts. But Ding Wang will never tell me! He is very cautious in his work. Many people work for him secretly, but each other does not know each other's identity."

He Liu asked Zhou Zigao a question that seemed irrelevant to the case: "What kind of person do you think Ding Wang is?"

Zhou Zigao replied: "This person is thoughtful, and when he does things, he is ruthless."

"Cruel and merciless?" Zhou Zigao's words reminded He Liu of something.

There are more than 100 corpses at the door of the secret room where the treasure is hidden in Yuquan Mountain.Those who were killed were obviously those who helped Ding Wang carry the treasure.But Ding Wang alone could not kill 100 people.He must have hired a murderer to do it.Didn't those killers also know the location of the hidden treasure?
Ding Wang not only wants to kill the mouths of the laborers, but also the mouths of the killers!That requires hiring another gang of killers.

He Liu thought of someone.

This person's name is Zhao Feihu, and he was given the nickname: Yin Shuai of the Five Northern Provinces.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are killings and battles.It is commonplace for people in the Jianghu to pay for a murder to kill someone.

Zhao Feihu is from Shandong, and he has practiced martial arts under the old shopkeeper Qiu of Shandong Changsheng Escort Bureau since he was a child.

A certain Changsheng Escort was traveling from Shandong to Zhili, but was intercepted and killed by a group of highly skilled bandits on the way.The bodyguard's brothers all died.Only Zhao Feihu escaped by chance.

Zhao Feihu seemed to be a different person since then.He wanted to understand a truth: in this world, the most difficult thing to be a good person.The best thing to do is to be a villain.

If I, Zhao Feihu, want to be a villain, I have to be the worst villain.

So, he became a killer.As long as you give him money, there is no one he dare not kill.

Gradually, Zhao Feihu became famous in the five northern provinces of Ming Dynasty.Many employers come here admiringly.

No matter how powerful Zhao Feihu is, he only has one shoulder and one head, and only one pair of hands.He couldn't kill hundreds of people.

So Zhao Feihu gathered a group of desperadoes as his subordinates.Gradually, he discovered that fighting alone, taking money to kill people is just the courage of a common man.It is wise to turn murder into a business.

In recent years, the number of killers under Zhao Feihu has reached 600.As the saying goes, a big tree attracts the wind.His name naturally fell into Jin Yiwei's file.

For such a person, it stands to reason that Jin Yiwei should bring him to justice.

However, Lu Bing did not do this.

Jin Yiwei has too many people who need to be killed, but it is not convenient to come forward to kill them.Wouldn't it be more convenient to leave such a matter to Zhao Feihu?
Ever since, Zhao Feihu has added another layer of identity - a chamber pot of Jin Yiwei.

Jin Yiwei's dirty and smelly work has always been handed over to Zhao Feihu.

With Jin Yiwei as the backer for Zhao Feihu's murder business, even the people in the Ministry of Punishment didn't dare to take care of it.Zhao Feihu also became a well-known figure in the underworld in the five northern provinces, and he was given the nickname: Yin Shuai in the five northern provinces.

He Liu suddenly thought, would Ding Wang hire Zhao Feihu's people to silence him and protect the secret of the hidden silver in Yuquan Mountain?
He Liu said to Lao Hu, "Follow me!"

Lao Hu followed He Liu to a pork shop in the south of the city.

On the front of this pork shop, there is a big word "meat". Under the word "meat", there are four black dots that are not easy to be noticed.

When He Liu entered the butcher shop, the clerk came up and asked attentively, "What do you want?"

He Liu replied: "I want two catties of pork belly. The pork belly needs to be attached to a catty of three, two and three coins for crispy bones."

This is a code word.

The man said: "Guest officer, please follow me."

In the backyard of the pork shop, there is a suite hall.

He Liu and Lao Hu followed the guy to the main room.The room was dark, and there seemed to be a few burly men sitting there.

"Shopkeeper! Here comes the guest!" The clerk said to a bearded man sitting in the main room.

The bearded man asked He Liu directly: "Who are you going to kill? How much money have you prepared?"

He Liu replied, "I didn't come here to kill people, and I didn't bring any money."

The bearded man laughed loudly: "If you don't kill people, what are you doing here? Heh, could it be that you are here to find fault? Finding fault in the Yinshuai territory of the five northern provinces is not an interesting thing."

He Liu took out his waist card and showed it in front of the bearded man.

Seeing the waist badge, the bearded man blurted out: "Jin Yiwei?"
