Qi Ning was surprised, but unexpectedly gained such a reward, and immediately asked: "The escort agency has a connection with the army? Can Ding Yitu say which general of the army took his money?"

Of course he understood that there is no effort in this world for no reason, especially people like Ding Yitu who have to pay money from their own pockets, and of course they will not have no purpose.

Zhuque shook his head and said, "He didn't say it, but he came out of the Qinhuai Legion and his connections were all in the Qinhuai Legion. If he was really involved with the people in the army, it should be the Qinhuai Legion." He also said, "The Xuri Escort Agency has been following the route north, from the capital to the Huaihe River area, and it is their sphere of influence. The Qinhuai Legion is stationed in the Huaihe River area. It is not difficult for the escort agency to contact the Qinhuai Legion."

Qi Ning felt a little nervous and thought to myself that someone would actually be in contact with Ding Yitu within the Qinhuai Legion?

Although the two generations of the Qinhuai Legion's commanding generals came from Jinyi's family, it was impossible for a hundred thousand people to take care of everything. If someone secretly interacted with Ding Yitu behind his back, the general who led the army might not know.

He suddenly realized that Ding Yitu had been with the Prince of Huainan on the Qinhuai River, and the two sides should have some friendship. Could it be that the backer behind Ding Yitu, Xiao Yishui and others would be the Prince of Huainan?

He actually had such suspicion, but there was no evidence.

He didn't know much about the Prince of Huainan. Although he had met once, he only knew that the Prince of Huainan was short and like a dwarf, and suffered from a strange disease. It is said that he would often be in a trance. In addition, Qi Ning knew very little about the direct descendants of Emperor Taizu.

"Elder Zhuque, you are in the capital and you know a lot about the Xuri Escort Agency." Qi Ning pondered for a moment before saying, "Ding Yitu, Ding of the Xuri Escort Agency, privately used the escort team to sell girls. It's really unscrupulous. We don't know. Since we know, we naturally cannot remain indifferent."

Zhuque immediately said: "If Fang Huang had not confessed today, his subordinates would not have known that Ding Yitu was so despicable and insidious. Even if you don't tell me, your subordinates would have to investigate the truth."

Qi Ning nodded slightly and smiled, "That's great. After you return to Beijing, don't disturb the Rising Escort Agency and secretly investigate what kind of despicable things they do behind their backs, as well as the girls they brought to the capital by them to see where they were sent. If possible, it would be better to find out the backer behind him."

"Ding Yitu did such a thing at the foot of the emperor. If he had no backer behind him, he would never have been so bold." Zhuque whispered: "The subordinates will send someone to investigate in secret."

"If it is really found out, there is no need to alarm the snake." Qi Ning hesitated for a moment before asking: "Elder Zhuque, do you know Jinyi Hou?"

"The Jinyi Hou is naturally known to the Qi family. I don't know whether the Jinyi Hou mentioned by the gang leader refers to Qi Jing who has passed away, or the Jinyi Xiaohou who inherited his title not long ago?" Zhuque asked.

Qi Ning said, "It's that little marquis."

Zhuque smiled and said, "I will not hide it from the gang leader, my subordinates have also dealt with that little marquis."

"Oh?" Qi Ning asked deliberately: "How is he?"

Although Zhuque didn't know why the "Gangmaster Wei" suddenly mentioned the Little Marquis of Jinyi, he still said: "Gangmaster, if you want to say that the Little Marquis is really a person with temperament. Baihu had previously released rumors that the gangmaster was the one who colluded with the Black Lotus Sect, and his subordinates had never believed it. He had dealt with the Little Marquis. Although he was not a good person, he was definitely not a villain and was very loyal." After a pause, he continued: "Gangmaster may know that the virus-related incident occurred in the capital not long ago. The virus-related poison began with my Beggar Gang and then spread to the entire capital. Many brothers died of the virus-related poison, and many innocent people in the capital were also deeply harmed. If it weren't for the little Marquis, more people would have died."

Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, "I heard a little."

"The antidote to cure the epidemic poison was made by the little marquis." Zhuque sighed: "After the antidote came out, the little marquis did not charge any money and sent us a gift to us. He saved many of our brothers. After learning about this from the gang leader, he also praised him very much. Although he was born in a wealthy family, he had no airs and was kind to others, he was a rare young man from a noble family."

Qi Ning smiled and said, "I really praised the young marquis for being a decent person and a friend."

After hearing Qi Ning's approval, Zhuque said happily: "Gangmaster, you ask Hou Jinyi, but what are you asking him to help? He is very loyal and his subordinates have a good relationship with him. If you really have something to ask him for help, I think he should help."

Qi Ning nodded and said, "It's so good. Elder Zhuque, I mean, Ding Yitu has an army background, and the collusion must be people from the court. Even if we really find evidence of Ding Yitu's group of people, we can't just interfere in the matter. The little Marquis of Jinyi is from the court. If you find the evidence, will it be?"

Zhuque understood and asked, "Gangmaster, do you mean that if you find any evidence of crime, you can go to the little marquis for help?"

"Since that little marquis is a decent person, I think the little marquis will not tolerate what Ding Yitu and his gang did." Qi Ning said: "If you find evidence of the crime or find out who Ding Yitu is, you can secretly communicate with the little marquis. Even Xiang Gang Master appreciates him. It should be no mistake to secretly assist the little marquis."

Zhuque had a good impression of Qi Ning. At this time, when he heard the new gang leader's instructions, what else could he say, and immediately said: "The gang leader is wise and his subordinates understand. Jinyi Qi's family was originally the pillar of Chu ** square, and Ding Yitu was at the foot of Qi's family back then. If this person was really evil and unscrupulous, he would have let the Jinyi Qi's family clean up, that would be great."

Qi Ning said, "There is another thing, and Elder Zhuque still has some thoughts." He paused slightly before asking, "Two elders, in your opinion, the real murderer behind the scenes of the epidemic in the capital city is really the Black Lotus Sect?"

Zhuque and Xuanwu looked at each other, and they were a little hesitant. Xuanwu took the lead and said, "Gang leader, my subordinates have been in the north and don't know much about this, so I can't be sure. However, my subordinates have also heard that the Black Lotus Sect has always been in the western frontier and has almost no power to go out of Xichuan. If the Black Lotus Sect's motive for poisoning the capital, it will be difficult to be sure that it was really done by the Black Lotus Sect."

"What Elder Xuanwu said is very true." Zhuque said: "At first, my subordinates thought it must be the Black Lotus Sect. After all, evidence was also captured by the Shenhou Mansion, but it is still difficult for me to understand why the Black Lotus Sect had caused such a big deal. They are not fools, and they would not have thought that if something happened in the capital, both the court and the eight gangs and the sixteen sects would let them go. This is a matter of causing trouble. If the Black Lotus Sect really did this, it would be foolish."

Qi Ning said: "I heard some rumors that someone deliberately framed the Black Lotus Sect to provoke an opposition or even fight between the Eight Gangs and the Sixteen Sects and the Black Lotus Sect. The situation later developed, and this rumors did not seem to be false."

"Not bad." Zhuque immediately said: "The eight gangs and sixteen factions attacked Qianwu Ridge, which caused heavy losses to the Black Lotus Sect, but the eight gangs also suffered heavy losses, and many gangs have greatly reduced their strength as a result."

Xuanwu sneered: "Gang Master, I'm forgiving me, behind this matter, the Divine Marquis' Mansion may not be able to escape the relationship. There are many sects in the Chu State than in the Northern Han Dynasty. Ximen Wuhen reached an agreement with the Eighth Gangs and Sixteen Sects to stabilize the world, but over the years, many sects have increased their strengths, and Ximen Wuhen is getting older and older year by year. Once he dies one day, I'm afraid no one can stop the Eighth Gangs and Sixteen Sects."

"Elder Xuanwu suspected that the poisonous virus in the capital was related to the Shenhou Mansion?"

Xuanwu Tao: "I am not sure, but I should be involved. The Battle of Qianwu Ridge is at least very beneficial to the Shenhou Mansion. None of the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Sects and the Black Lotus Sect can escape. Since this matter is most beneficial to the Shenhou Mansion, Ximen Wuhen will inevitably be suspicious."

Qi Ning nodded slightly and said to Zhuque: "Elder Zhuque, can you send someone to investigate carefully afterwards?"

"Yes." Zhuque immediately said: "But he found almost no useful clues. Gang leader, if someone really framed the Black Lotus Sect, this matter must have been planned for a long time. They were doing it carefully and would never leave any clues easily."

Qi Ning said: "We must try our best to investigate. Hundreds of brothers from the Beggars' Sect were killed by the epidemic. If the real murderer cannot be found, this blood feud will not be repaid, and the brothers in the nine springs will die with their eyes open."

Zhuque bowed and said yes, and then Qi Ning said: "Elder Xuanwu, Elder Zhuque, tomorrow morning, you will go back, and the rudders of each branch will return as soon as possible. You tell them that they must strictly restrain their subordinates. Anyone who violates the rules of the gang will be severely punished. It will not be too long to retreat to the gang leader. Before he leaves the gang, everyone should try their best to stabilize the Beggars' Sect and not let anyone with ulterior motives take advantage of the situation."

The two of them said yes, and then Qi Ning handed Fang Huang over to Zhuque for punishment. Fang Huang violated the gang rules very seriously. According to the gang rules of the Beggars' Sect, he would definitely die. Qi Ningdao was not interested in observing the punishment.

His purpose of coming to Xiangyang to attend the Qingmu Conference has been achieved, and he has no interest in staying here. Dongqi has sent the princess to the capital of Jianye. Qi Ning knew that Dongqi's bride mission was just a few days off. It is very likely that the little emperor would hold a wedding, and he would not miss the little emperor's wedding ceremony.

That night, Qi Ning found Mao Hu'er alone and asked him to go back to report to Master Lou Wen in detail what happened in the Qingmu Conference. If the Beggars' Sect finds Lu Shanghe's whereabouts, that is the Beggars' Sect's own business. Qi Ning has no energy to think too much for the time being. He knew that it would be impossible to find out who the master who rescued Lu Shanghe was, but this time, it forced Lu Shanghe to hide like a mouse, and did not dare to see Tian Ri again.
