When Tang Yin came in, Yan Xi and others were eating refreshments brought by the palace maid. When they saw Tang Yin, the five of them stood up one after another. Tang Yin waved his hand to indicate that they did not need to be polite.
Yan Xi looked him up and down. At this time, Tang Yin had put on black brocade clothes, embroidered with dark red patterns. It was not eye-catching and looked very simple, but the fine material fully showed off Tang Yin's slender and straight figure.
"Does the food in the palace taste good?" Tang Yin asked casually, walked to the front and slowly sat down.
"It's not bad." Yan Xi was not polite.
The maid came forward and poured tea for Tang Yin. The latter picked up the cup and took two sips of tea absentmindedly.
Yan Xi wiped the corner of his mouth and asked seriously: "Your Majesty, I have a question to ask you."
Tang Yin said: "You say."
"Brother Hou went to fight for the position of alliance leader because he was ordered by the king, right?"
Tang Yin blinked and asked, "Do you think your Brother Hou is the kind of person who is willing to be controlled?"
Of course not! Yan Xi blurted out in her heart. She pondered for a moment and said: "It may be difficult for others to control Brother Hou, but if the king does this, the situation will be different."
Tang Yin sighed softly and said: "I think Master Yan has misunderstood. You also saw that assassins are rampant today. It has reached the point of lawlessness in Feng Kingdom. They have to deal with not only me, but also all the ranger sects. Hou
The reason why the sect leader is willing to come out to fight for the alliance leader is to better unite the ranger sects in one place and join hands to fight against the headwind."
Yan Xi asked: "That's it?"
"if not?"
"I thought the king wanted to control the Ranger gang." Yan Xi said calmly.
Tang Yin said sternly: "I have no interest in the Ranger gang at all. As long as it doesn't cause me any trouble, I won't interfere in the internal affairs of your Ranger gang."
Yan Xi stared at Tang Yin blankly for a while, then breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that, I feel relieved."
Tang Yin changed the topic and asked: "How much does Master Yan know about Nifengliu?"
Yan Xi said: "Not many. However, I have seen people who go against the wind."
"Oh?" Tang Yin's eyes lit up.
Yan Xi said: "That was a month or two ago. They came to Shuramen originally to see Brother Hou, but by then Brother Hou had gone to Anguo, and I received them. They did not say who they were.
The gang members were just Ning Guo Rangers, hoping to form an alliance with the Shura Sect. My Shura Sect has never formed alliances with other gangs. Knowing their intentions, I didn’t ask any more questions and rejected them on the spot. Now that I think about it, those Ning Ren Rangers
He should be someone who goes against the current."
Tang Yin pondered for a moment and asked, "What are their names?"
Yan Xi thought for a moment and said, "The leader calls himself Li Wan."
"Li Wan?" Tang Yin felt that the name sounded very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly remembered that Hong Ying had mentioned this person's name before. There are four gangs in Nifengliu, namely Spring Breeze, Xia Yu, Qiu Ye, and Dong.
Shuang and Hong Ying are the deputy gang leaders of Qiu Ye, while Li Wan is the gang leader of Dong Shuang.
Tang Yin smiled leisurely and said: "I finally understand why the people against the wind want to attack you." After a pause, he continued: "Although the rangers and the court have always been in harmony with each other, now we have a common enemy.
, so we should cooperate more.”
Yan Xi said: "What the king said is reasonable. However, the king should provide me with more information about the headwind flow. This will also facilitate our investigation."
Tang Yin nodded, feeling that what she said made sense. He turned to look at Ah San and Ah Si at the door, and said, "Come over to Cheng Jin."
Hong Ying can be regarded as an important informant placed by Tang Yin within Nifengliu. The person who maintains contact with Hong Ying is always a secret assassin. Cheng Jin has much more information about Nifengliu's situation than he does.
Not long after, Ah San and Ah Si found Cheng Jin over.
When Cheng Jin entered the study, Tang Yin said bluntly: "Tell Master Yan all the information you know about Nifengliu." Tang Yin felt that to deal with such a secret organization as Nifengliu, he had to rely on the Ranger gang. After all, the court was there.
It is clear that Nifengliu is secretly hiding, and every move of the court may be under the control of Nifengliu, but the Ranger gang is different. If Yan Xi is willing to organize all the power of Shura Sect to investigate, it will definitely be much more efficient than the court.
Cheng Jin asked uncertainly: "All of them?"
Tang Yin said without thinking: "Of course."
Cheng Jin nodded and said: "Yes! Your Majesty!" As he spoke, he walked up to Yan Xi and began to tell him the information he had learned about Nifengliu. Not all of the information Cheng Jin received came from Hong Ying, among which
Some are also the result of secret investigations by undercover personnel.
The upwind flow system was complex and cumbersome to talk about. Tang Yin listened for a while and felt it was boring. He stood up and said to Cheng Jin and Yan Xi: "You continue to talk, I have something else to do, so I'll go ahead first." After that, he stood up and said to Cheng Jin and Yan Xi.
, without waiting for Cheng Jin and Yan Xi to react, Tang Yin walked out of the study without looking back.
Seeing this, Yan Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at Cheng Jin inquiringly. The latter sighed softly and explained: "The king must be worried about Yuan Wu's injury."
Yan Xi thought for a while, nodded in understanding, and asked curiously: "The relationship between the king and you seems to be very deep?"
Cheng Jin said: "Your Majesty regards me as a brother."
This is not the same as the rumors. The rumors Yan Xi has heard about Tang Yin are nothing more than cold-blooded, unfeeling, and belligerent, which has dragged Feng Country into the vortex of endless wars. Of course, the Ranger has nothing to do with the court.
It is impossible to expect anything good to come out of their mouths.
Yan Xi reached into his arms, took out a small porcelain bottle, and said, "I have my secret gold medicine, which may be of some help."
Cheng Jin stood up in a hurry and thanked him repeatedly as he took it. As one of the largest gangs in the Feng Kingdom, Shuramen's medicine must also be of the highest quality.
Tang Yin left the study, went to the backyard, and walked around the rooms of Wu Mei, Fan Min, Yuan Qianyi, and Xiao Na.
He just sat in each lady's room for a while, and it was already evening. When it was time to have dinner, Cheng Jin found Tang Yin and reported the good news to him. Shangguan Yuanwu had finally been rescued. At the same time, he also
He specifically mentioned that the medicine Yan Xi gave him was very effective.
Cheng Jin didn't know whether Shuramen's medicine had an effect. In short, Shangguan Yuanwu escaped from danger smoothly, which is the most important thing.
When Tang Yin heard the news, his spirits were greatly boosted. He immediately put down his bowls and chopsticks and went to visit Shangguan Yuanwu.
When he arrived, Shangguan Yuanwu was sleeping, his face was pale, and he was lying motionless on the bed, but his breath was no longer as weak as when he was first rescued. Seeing him out of danger, Tang Yin finally felt relieved, and he asked Cheng Jin:
"Where's Yan Xi? I have to thank her heavily!"
Cheng Jin said: "Master Yan is gone."
"gone?"
"Yes, but Master Yan has not left the capital for the time being. She said that she is going to assist the Lieutenant's Mansion and uncover the assassins placed in the capital by Nifengliu."
Tang Yin smiled and said, "I didn't expect that she would actually help us."
Cheng Jin shrugged and said: "I have said the same thing. She said that she was rescued by the king today and she owed the king a favor. If she found the assassin of Nifengliu, she could repay the favor."
Tang Yin first shook his head, then nodded, and said, "That's fine. With Yan Xi's help, the Lieutenant's Mansion will be able to live a better life."
Cheng Jin was silent for a moment, then asked: "If the Lieutenant's Mansion fails to detect the assassin within three days, will the king really kill Gu's uncle and nephew?"
Tang Yin looked at Cheng Jin strangely and said: "The imperial court is now in the midst of employing people, how can it execute ministers so easily? However, it is still necessary to give them a proper lesson to prevent the Lieutenant's Mansion from becoming too arrogant."
Cheng Jin groaned, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Tang Yin thought that it was impossible for the Lieutenant's Mansion to detect the assassin within three days. Even with Yan Xi's assistance, three days was too short. But in fact, the Lieutenant's Mansion did not take three days at all and received news of the assassin that night.
.
Gu Chong is a veteran nobleman of the Feng Kingdom. Although his abilities are very mediocre, he is honest and honest, and has no ambitions or desires. Perhaps because of this, he has not been affected when the monarchs of the Feng Kingdom have changed many times.
After Tang Yin took office, he needed someone who was familiar with Yancheng to serve as a lieutenant. To put it bluntly, a lieutenant was equivalent to the capital's security commander. There were many choices, and Tang Yin chose Gu Chong. As Gu Chong's nephew, Gu Chen was of noble birth and had a wealthy family.
, he has been fond of spiritual martial arts since he was a child, and has a very high talent. In addition, he is also keen on making friends. No matter how high or low the other person's background is, as long as he has a similar temperament, he will sincerely accept him. Although Gu Chen has an arrogant temperament, he is extremely generous and spends money like water.
, spent a lot of money, so he made a lot of friends. In Yancheng, everyone from the top to the rich and powerful, down to the three religions and nine circles, had his friends.
In investigating the assassin, Gu Chen used all the contacts he had cultivated over the years, and mobilized almost all the gangsters and gangsters in the city to track down the assassin's whereabouts. This was an invisible and huge intelligence network.
That night, as Gu Chen was getting ready to go to bed, a gangster leader who was quite powerful in Yancheng came to his door and said that he had found a group of Ning people who knew Lingwu very suspiciously. These people rented a small house in his territory.
, never go out during the day, and only in the evening will one or two people come out to buy food, vegetables, daily necessities, etc.
But today, these Ning people went out surprisingly early in the morning and didn't come back until the afternoon, and they came back less than an hour later than the time Tang Yin was assassinated.
After listening to the ruffian leader's story, Gu Chen's heart moved. It sounded like these Ning people were really weird. Even if they were not assassins, they were probably not a good thing if they were so mysterious. After thinking about it, he casually took out two silver ingots.
Give it to the gangster leader and ask him to go with you to the Lieutenant's Mansion.
The gangster leader knew that Gu Chen was generous and would not treat him badly when working for him. He accepted the money and followed Gu Chen to the Lieutenant's Mansion.
