Ding Xiong shook his head: "I don't know why, but I just don't feel at ease with Tian Zhengang...Old Wu, you have been paying so much attention in the past few days. You must keep an eye on Tian Zhengang. If he does anything strange, you can get it to me on the spot."
Come on, it’s okay even if you kill him, I’ll help you carry him out of the basket.”
"Okay, I understand. As long as I'm keeping an eye on Tian Zhengang, just don't worry. It's getting late, so I'll go back first. My mother-in-law is still waiting for me to have dinner with her." After that,
, Wu Haibiao left humming an unknown ditty.
Ding Xiong pondered for a moment, then waved to a few of his close men: "From now on, you will keep an eye on Wu Haibiao and others, especially Tian Zhengang. You must pay more attention to them. If there is any trouble, you must notify me in time."
Several close men nodded, then took the order and left.
Ding Xiong stood under the eaves and breathed out softly: "I will do my best to obey fate. I have done everything I should do. Let God decide the next fate. God, you can't let me down. If
If it succeeds this time, I will definitely buy more tributes to worship you."
…
The atmosphere in the Baihu Banner military camp is getting weirder and weirder. Many people feel that something is wrong. Some smart people choose to protect themselves wisely, shrinking their necks and pretending to be ostriches. There are also some people who are not afraid of death and jump up and down to win over everyone they can.
People, prepare to do something shady.
In a word, the situation inside the current Baihu Banner military camp is very complicated, and if you don't pay attention, you may fall into a situation of no return.
Imperial City.
Inside the splendid Tai Chi Hall.
Emperor Jin Tianwei sat on the dragon chair with a golden sword, holding a memorial in his hand and slowly reviewing it. Suddenly he raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Interesting, really interesting. I didn't expect that this Ma Xiaoyao can really do it."
Well, I underestimated him."
There was a man standing in the main hall, wearing an ordinary gray gown, with short hair, eyes like lightning, and an unusually tall figure. This man was called Xiong Ying. He was Jin Tianwei's most valued subordinate, and he was usually responsible for inquiring about all kinds of information.
Speaking of this eagle, he can be regarded as a great person. He comes from an ordinary family. He has been very smart since he was a child, and is very good at reasoning and tracking. When he grew up, he joined the government and became a policeman. An excellent person is an excellent person, and he will shine wherever he goes.
Yes, ever since Xiong Ying became a police officer, he has repeatedly solved major cases and has been in the limelight for a while. He was soon promoted to the position of Chief Catcher and was nicknamed the "Magic Detective".
Later, a very strange case occurred in the palace. Several palace maids died within three days. The investigators of the Criminal Department spent a lot of effort but failed to find out the murderer. They could not even find out the cause of death of several palace maids.
Within a few days, several more palace maids died unexpectedly. In the end, this incident alarmed Jin Tianwei, who gave the Ministry of Punishments a time limit to solve the case. If the case could not be solved, the investigators would be severely punished.
The Ministry of Punishment was anxious, and after the last discussion, it seconded Xiong Ying to participate in solving the case. At that time, the personnel of the Punishment Department were treating a dead horse as a live doctor and did not have much confidence in Xiong Ying. However, the development of the matter was shocking.
According to their eyeballs, it only took the Eagle one day to solve the case. The murderer was a eunuch. He usually liked to torture the palace maids for fun. Sometimes he would kill the palace maids by mistake, and then secretly dump the bodies...
…Because this eunuch has a clever way of committing crimes, and he is very careful when abusing the palace maid, and does not leave any obvious trauma on the palace maid... The most important point is that this eunuch is usually very good at acting, and he is a good man in the eyes of many people
, so when Xiong Ying pointed out that this eunuch was the murderer, many people couldn't believe it...
Xiong Ying's outstanding crime-solving ability was appreciated by Emperor Jin Tianwei, who promoted him step by step. Xiong Ying also knew how to repay kindness and was very loyal to Jin Tianwei.
Hearing Jin Tianwei's laughter, Xiongying stood in the hall and raised his head in confusion. In his understanding, Jin Tianwei was a person who paid great attention to his own image and was serious about his words, especially when handling official documents in Taiji Hall.
It's easy to show emotions... But today... why is Jin Tianwei different? Is it because of that Ma Xiaoyao? The memorial was written by Xiong Ying, so he knows the content of the memorial. Just a few days ago, Jin Tianwei gave Xiong Ying a task
, that is, pay close attention to Ma Xiaoyao's every move. Whenever you find Ma Xiaoyao has special behavior, report it immediately without delay.
Although Xiongying had some doubts in his heart, he definitely didn't dare to ask, so he could only ponder it secretly in his heart.
"Ma Xiaoyao knew that he had just arrived and it would be difficult to subdue the generals below him, so he thought of a roundabout way to use the excuse of investigating the misappropriation of military funds by the low-level generals to tear a gap in the military camp that looked like an iron barrel...
By doing this, he not only established his prestige, but also won the goodwill of the soldiers, and gained a firm foothold in the military camp. It was a good strategy that killed three birds with one stone. Not bad, really good." Jin Tianwei praised: "It seems that Ma Xiaoyao
This kid is still a talent, maybe he deserves to be cultivated by me." No matter where he is, talents will be loved by those in power.
Xiong Ying silently kept Jin Tianwei's words in mind, and planned to pay close attention to Ma Xiaoyao in the future. If he can be appreciated by Jin Tianwei, his future future will definitely be limitless. He must win over this kind of potential stock as soon as possible. Everyone will have selfish motives. Xiong Ying
He is loyal to Jin Tianwei, but he will also consider his own position. He is not a pedantic fool.
"Xiong Ying, what do you think of Ma Xiaoyao?" Jin Tianwei suddenly raised his head and asked.
"Ah?" Xiongying was stunned for a moment. He thought carefully for a moment: "Generally speaking, Ma Xiaoyao is a good person. He is brave and resourceful, and he is a talent."
"Well, you rarely praise people, and it's rare for Ma Xiaoyao to get your praise." Jin Tianwei nodded: "From now on, you pay more attention to Ma Xiaoyao. I want to know his every move at all times.
Move."
"Yes, I obey." Xiong Ying nodded respectfully and responded.
"By the way, it's been a while since Ma Xiaoyao went to Baihu Banner to take office. Isn't it true that he still hasn't shown up?" Jin Tianwei changed the topic.
As soon as Gui Jianchou was mentioned, Xiong Ying's expression became serious: "Gui Jianchou has never shown up, maybe... he doesn't know that Ma Xiaoyao has become the commander-in-chief of the White Tiger Banner, right?"
Jin Tianwei shook his head: "Don't underestimate the ability of Gui Jianchou. As long as he wants to know, there is nothing he doesn't know." At this point, Jin Tianwei showed a trace of doubt on his face: "According to my understanding of Gui Jianchou, he
Shouldn't he be so low-key? Ma Xiaoyao plotted against him, causing him to almost die. With his narrow heart, he will definitely take revenge on Ma Xiaoyao crazily...Did he discover something?" At this point, Jin Tianwei's eyes flashed.
Jing Guang: "Xiong Ying, is there nothing wrong with the person you arranged? Isn't it possible that Gui Jianchou will find out?"
"Definitely not!" Xiong Ying said with certainty: "The people I arranged are very cautious and have never had contact with Ma Xiaoyao. They have not even been close to the General Military Mansion. It is absolutely impossible for Gui Jianchou to find out unless he
He knows how to make clever calculations."
"Gui Jianchou will definitely not let Ma Xiaoyao go." Jin Tianwei said coldly: "As long as you keep a close eye on Ma Xiaoyao, you will definitely find Gui Jianchou. If Gui Jianchou is not eliminated, I will feel uneasy."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Even if I risk my life, I will take down the ghost." Xiongying said loudly.
"Well, I can rest assured about your abilities. Well, you have nothing to do here. You can go down." Jin Tianwei waved his hand.
"My subordinates excuse themselves." Xiong Ying bowed and saluted, then turned around and strode out of the Tai Chi Hall.
After the eagle left, Jin Tianwei turned his attention to the memorial in his hand: "Ma Xiaoyao, Ma Xiaoyao, don't let me down."
…
Ding Xiong held a stack of banknotes in his hand, with a murderous look on his face: "Ma Xiaoyao, you forced me to do this. Since you want to play, I will accompany you to the end!"
After venting his emotions, Ding Xiong called for a close subordinate. After a few words of low-spirited instructions, the trusted subordinate hurriedly left with the banknotes in hand.
Ding Xiong stood at the door and let out a sigh of relief: "Success or failure depends on this!"
In the afternoon of that day, Ma Xiaoyao led a team of guards to inspect the city. As soon as he reached the east gate, he was assassinated. Six black-clad and masked assassins attacked Ma Xiaoyao like crazy. Moreover, these assassins were all very skilled in martial arts.
The guards on site couldn't stop him at all.
Ma Xiaoyao was very calm sitting in the carriage, without any panic.
"Dog Officer, take your life!" An assassin jumped onto the carriage, picked up the big knife in his hand and slashed at the carriage. The sword was so powerful and heavy that if it hit the carriage, the carriage would definitely collapse, and sitting in the carriage
Ma Xiaoyao is definitely not immune.
Seeing that Ma Xiaoyao was about to be killed by a knife, the assassin couldn't help but show a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"Ouch!!!"
At the critical moment, the Bare-toothed Beast suddenly sprang out from the side without any warning. With a slap, the sword in the assassin's hand flew away, and then he picked up his tail and flicked the assassin's sword.
My head turned into a rotten watermelon.
"Ouch!!!"
After the Baretooth Beast finished killing one assassin, it attacked the other assassins. In the blink of an eye, all the remaining five assassins died tragically on the spot.
Ma Xiaoyao got off the carriage, glanced at the assassin's body, and his face was full of helplessness: "Bear-toothed beast, didn't I tell you to keep him alive? Why didn't you listen?"
"Ouch..."
The Bare-toothed Beast let out a very aggrieved cry, and then made a few more gestures with its two claws.
Ma Xiaoyao understood what the Bare-Tooth Beast meant. It was simply saying that these assassins were too bad. It had shown mercy, but these assassins were still dead... Seeing the Bare-Tooth Beast's aggrieved look, Ma Xiaoyao also
It was hard to say anything more, so he could only sigh helplessly: "That's it, just die." At this point, Ma Xiaoyao's face suddenly darkened: "Someone, hang the bodies of these assassins.
When I get to the city gate, I want everyone to see that this is the fate of assassinating me!!!"
Several guards immediately ran out and dragged away the bodies of the assassins.
"Go back home." After such an incident, Ma Xiaoyao was no longer in the mood to continue inspecting the city, and immediately ordered to return to the General Military Mansion.
The news of Ma Xiaoyao's assassination quickly spread throughout Baihu City. Some people said that the assassin was so arrogant that even the generals dared to assassinate him. Others said that Ma Xiaoyao was so tough that he would not survive this. More people
He remained silent...
"Crack!"
Ding Xiong slammed his beloved cup to the ground, and his whole face was distorted: "I scolded the guy next door, and they are still known as the number one killer organization in the secret realm. They can't even kill a mere Ma Xiaoyao. They are just trash!!!"
waste!!!"
After planning for so long and spending 300,000 taels of silver, it finally failed? Even though Ding Xiong has a strong endurance, he was so angry that he was about to go crazy.
"Come here!" Ding Xiong shouted.
"Sir, what are your orders?" A close subordinate ran in.
"Go, call the other nine captains over quickly, and tell them that I have something important to discuss with them," Ding Xiong ordered.
"Yes." The trusted subordinate followed the order and left.
After about an hour, all nine captains of ten thousand men arrived.
"Have you all heard?" Ding Xiong sat on a chair and said with a serious expression: "Our carefully arranged assassination... failed."
"Old Ding, who are you looking for? His skills are too poor, right?" Tian Zhengang was the first to express his dissatisfaction: "A killer of this level still needs 300,000 taels of silver? He is really treating us like fools.
ah."
"Yes, Old Ding, we suffered a big loss this time." Others also expressed dissatisfaction.
Ding Xiong nodded: "I admit that I was negligent this time, and I apologize to everyone!" Ding Xiong is also a character, able to bend and stretch. After apologizing, Ding Xiong continued: "The matter has been resolved, let's go on again
It's useless to complain, so let's quickly find a way to deal with the aftermath."
"Old Ding, no one knows about you hiring a killer, right?" Wu Haibiao asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I didn't show up from the beginning to the end. I can guarantee that the Black Shadow Society will never know that I paid to hire them." Ding Xiong promised.
"That's good." Wu Haibiao breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as our identities are not exposed, everything else will be easy to solve."
"The Black Shadow Society's assassination failed, they have to give us an explanation, right?" Tian Zhengang raised his eyebrows: "Three hundred thousand taels of silver can't be wasted, right?"
"Don't worry, I will contact the Black Shadow Society." Ding Xiong said in a deep voice: "According to their rules, they will continue to assassinate Ma Xiaoyao. This is the rule of the Black Shadow Society. As long as they accept the task, they will not give up.
Keep chasing until the target person is dead."
"What if the shadow can't kill Ma Xiaoyao?" Tian Zhengang asked.
"If they can't kill Ma Xiaoyao... then they will return the money." Ding Xiong said, "Don't worry, no matter how you calculate it, we will not lose this business."
"I hope so." Tian Zhengang curled his lips: "Old Ding, let me tell you the ugly story first. If the Black Shadow Society fails to kill Ma Xiaoyao, and in the end defaults on the debt and does not return the money, then I will have a good relationship with you.
After all, I can't give away the money for free..." The reason why Tian Zhengang said this was just to damage Ding Xiong's reputation. In fact, for him, tens of thousands of taels of silver is really nothing.
