Chengdu, Governor's Palace of Guangdong and Guangxi.
Li Shiyao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Rongbao, the general of Rongcheng, bowed their heads and collected their composure, and sat quietly with the last one.
These two people were both close confidants of Emperor Qianlong, and they usually used their power for their own purposes, but when facing the young man in the first seat, they did not dare to breathe, and their eyes were filled with deep awe.
Just because the person sitting above him was Ordo, the admiral of the Nine Sects.
Both Li Shiyao and Rongbao were important figures among the Manchu people. They had made great contributions to the country. They were very prestigious in the court and played an important role in Qianlong's heart. However, their status in Qianlong's heart was far inferior to that of Ordo.
Because Ordo was a close confidant of Emperor Qianlong.
Five years ago, Qianlong was patrolling incognito, and a large number of masters from the Tianli Sect assassinated him. At the critical moment, Erdo stepped forward and killed seven masters of the Tianli Sect, saving Qianlong from danger.
Three years ago, the White Lotus Sect sent a large number of masters to sneak into the Old Summer Palace and set fire to the palace. Ordo carried Qianlong out and killed thirteen White Lotus Sect masters in one go.
Since ancient times, there has been no greater merit than rescuing a driver.
Ordo saved the emperor from danger twice, and he was a young talent among the Manchus. Qianlong naturally relied on him, so he appointed Ordo as the Admiral of the Nine Gates, overseeing the safety of the capital, doing all he could to investigate, and suppress anti-Qing organizations.
Er has been very energetic and decisive in his actions for many years, and he kills his enemies without mercy. Even the princes and ministers in front of him show no mercy. Now that he appears in Rongcheng, the two local bosses in Rongcheng are naturally frightened, fearing that they will be involved in some serious case.
Big case.
Especially Li Shiyao, he is a descendant of Li Yongfang. Although he is very capable, he often practices corruption and slander, and it is inevitable that he may be dragged into the water by the rebels. Therefore, even if both of them have official positions, they still feel that they are inferior.
Rongbao and Ordo both belonged to Manchuria Xianghuang Banner, and their relationship was somewhat close. At this time, he asked cautiously: "Admiral Ordo traveled thousands of miles south to Rongcheng, but he came here for the conference of the world's leaders?"
"A conference of leaders in the world?"
A trace of disdain flashed across Ordo's face and he said: "That was done by Mr. Fu, Minister of the Ministry of War, to relieve His Majesty's worries. I was not involved. I came to Chengdu this time for the Heaven and Earth Meeting."
"There is a silk merchant Fang De in Rongcheng. It is said that he has something to do with heaven and earth. Have you heard about it, sir?"
Silk merchant, Fang De?
Li Shiyao and Rong Bao looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Shiyao said: "Admiral E is unaware that Fang De has left Rongcheng with his family three days ago. As for where he is going, I have never asked him."
"What? You moved three days ago?" Erdo was startled for a moment, and his eyes suddenly turned sharp: "This person is related to the Tiandihui rebellion. Governor Li knows that he left, but doesn't know where he is going. Why?
What’s going on?”
Li Shiyao sighed: "Admiral Hubei doesn't know. Recently, a gangster named Feng Zhou appeared in Guangdong Province. This man was highly skilled in martial arts and specialized in killing powerful gentry. He destroyed the famous Five Tigers Sect in Lingnan. The leader of the Five Tigers Sect, Feng Tiannan,
Killed by him."
"Feng Zhou, Feng Tiannan? These two people's names are somewhat familiar."
Ordo muttered.
"Admiral Hubei has been in the capital for a long time, but he has heard that people in the world are really knowledgeable and knowledgeable. I admire him and admire him."
Li Shiyao patted the horse gently and continued: "I didn't know these two country people at first, but my ears have been hearing cocoons for half a month. This Feng Tiannan is a powerful man in Foshan.
There has never been a shortage of taxes, and he is considered a good citizen, but this Fengzhou is a gangster. He has been rampant in the Central Plains for the past two years, killing and beating officials and massacring gentry everywhere. Unexpectedly, he recently came to Guangdong and Guangxi. In the past month, he has killed seven people.
There are 10 prefects, 19 county magistrates, three have been transferred to bureaus, and a total of one hundred officials, big and small..."
"Wait a minute!" Erdo interrupted his eloquence and said displeasedly: "Master Li, I am asking about the silk merchant Fang De. What does he have to do with the murderous demon Feng Zhou?"
Li Shiyao sighed: "I'm sorry. After Feng Zhou killed Feng Tiannan, he pursued Quan Guang and killed all the disciples of the Five Tigers Sect founded by Feng Tiannan. And this silk merchant Fang De, he
Someone in the house was closely related to the Five Tigers Faction, so Feng Zhou came to the house and killed him."
"Fang De has a son named Fang Shiyu. He has a frivolous personality and fights against injustice. He was seriously injured in a fight with Feng Zhou. Fang De had to take his son and leave Chengdu overnight. It is said that he went to seek treatment from a famous doctor."
"Hmph!" Erdo snorted coldly: "This Fang De is a blessing in disguise... No!"
He patted the table lightly and said coldly: "I killed Fang Dahong, Emperor Hu De, Ma Chaoxing, and more than a dozen masters of the Tiandihui. When Fang De heard about it, he must have left overnight. This flower
The roster will most likely fall into Feng Zhou’s hands.”
"ah?"
Li Shiyao and Rong Bao looked at each other, not knowing why.
Erdo continued: "This Fengzhou massacre of good people in Guangdong and Guangxi must have a lot to do with the Tiandihui. Only by killing these people who are loyal to the Qing Dynasty can the Tiandihui people take over."
"Then Feng Zhou kills people, why do you need that list?" Rong Bao asked doubtfully.
"He didn't kill according to the roster, but he didn't kill the people on the roster!"
Erdo said coldly, then he stood up, raised his hands to the north, and said: "Two adults, I have been ordered by the emperor to wipe out the Tiandihui, so I must arrest Feng Zhou, who holds the roster, and bring him back to justice.
Please help me, sir!"
Li Shiyao was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Admiral E. This Feng boat is causing trouble in Guangdong and Guangxi, but I am unable to catch it and it is difficult to arrest him. Fortunately, Your Majesty has sent masters like Admiral E to come here. I would like to use my full strength to pursue Feng Zhou."
thief!"
Rong Bao also said hurriedly: "I will also give my full support."
Erdo nodded with satisfaction and said: "I have three masters under my command. As long as we know where Feng Zhou is, we will definitely be able to capture him."
Rong Bao said: "According to reports from the people below, this person is running amok all over Guangzhou. Yesterday he killed nineteen county officials in Yangchun County, Zhaoqing Prefecture. However, the magistrate of Yangchun County is in Chengdu to hand over the tax collection. If he is to eradicate the roots, he will definitely return to Chengdu within three days."
.”
"That's good. When I set up the trap, I will definitely kill this animal to repay your kindness."
Erdo said confidently.
"Admiral E, Feng Zhou is a man with extremely high martial arts skills who cannot be defeated easily. In the past month, he has repeatedly defeated thousands of troops and besieged them. Five or six thousand commanders and nearly a thousand men died from him.
In your hands, it must not be underestimated!" Li Shiyao said.
"Hmph! The Green Camp soldiers have long been corrupted and degenerated. They only know how to play every day and don't know how to train. When they are killed, they rush to flee, which makes Feng Zhou famous. This time I went south, I brought a few imperial guards, and added
The four masters of the Shangjiu Sect Admirals and three thousand soldiers are enough to kill Feng Zhou!"
