Taking a deep breath, Lin Pingzhi looked at Qiu Daniu, and slowly said, "Brother Qiu, do you have any news about what I asked you to inquire about a few days ago?"

It can be said that Qiu Daniu dared to cover him up under the powerful Xu family in Yangzhou, which can be said to have saved his life, so Lin Pingzhi didn't have to worry that Qiu Daniu would sell him.

But even so, Lin Pingzhi didn't tell Qiu Daniu his real identity, he just said that he was a small flag officer of Jinyiwei, and he escaped Xu's pursuit by chance.

Qiu Daniu was naturally very surprised when he learned of Lin Pingzhi's identity, but as Lin Pingzhi thought, he did not intend to reveal his identity.

It didn't take long for the news that the Jinyiwei Yamen in Yangzhou Prefecture was destroyed by the remnants of the Chen family spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, and Qiu Tainiu, who was a water worker in Yangzhou Prefecture, naturally knew the news.

Qiu Daniu told Lin Pingzhi the news at that time. Originally, Lin Pingzhi also knew that the Jinyiwei who came to Yangzhou Mansion with him might be in danger, but when he really learned the news, it was still for his own sake. sad.

At that time, Lin Pingzhi didn't know the grievances between Qiu Daniu and the Xu family, but he just mentioned in front of Qiu Daniu that if he could contact the people in Jinyiwei, he would report to the emperor and have the Xu family ransacked and exterminated.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Daniu became extremely excited when he heard this, and told Lin Pingzhi of his grievances with the Xu family at that time, and patted his chest to assure Lin Pingzhi that he would find a way to help cover it up no matter what. Absolutely will not let it be discovered by Xu.

It was precisely because of this that with the help of Qiu Daniu, Lin Pingzhi was able to be safe and sound under the eyes of everyone in Yangzhou Mansion, without being discovered.

After hearing Lin Pingzhi's words, Qiu Daniu's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Lin, if you don't say anything, I really forgot about it. What you brought to my attention a few days ago, there is news today."

Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard the words, he looked at Qiu Daniu and said, "Quickly tell me, is there really someone from the capital?"

It turned out that not long ago, Lin Pingzhi asked Qiu Daniu to secretly pay attention to whether there was any news about the imperial envoys sent by the capital to Yangzhou.

Although the case of Jin Yiwei's extermination in Yangzhou Prefecture was said to be an act of murder by officials of Yangzhou Prefecture, such a big matter must not be hidden, so it will inevitably alarm the court.

With such a big incident, Lin Pingzhi believed that the imperial court would definitely send officials to Yangzhou to supervise the case, and based on his understanding of Li Huan.

Li Huan would definitely plead with the emperor to personally supervise the case, so Lin Pingzhi asked Qiu Daniu to pay attention to the news of the capital.

However, Lin Pingzhi only asked Qiu Daniu to pay attention to him, rather than asking him to inquire about it. After all, Qiu Daniu's identity was nothing more than a water worker. No wonder.

Originally, Lin Pingzhi didn't have much hope. After all, Qiu Daniu couldn't take the initiative to inquire, but could only receive news passively. He might not be able to learn about the capital immediately.

At this moment, Qiu Daniu looked around, and when he walked into the shack with Lin Pingzhi, he heard Qiu Daniu say: "Brother Lin, this morning, I accidentally heard that the guy on the big ship that just docked at the pier It is mentioned that the imperial court has dispatched imperial envoys, and they are coming to Yangzhou Prefecture to investigate the case of the Jinyiwei being destroyed in Yangzhou Prefecture."

The spirit of Lin Ping looked at Qiu Daniu in shock and said, "Do you know who is here and where is it?"

Qiu Daniu shook his head and said: "The man really didn't say who the person is, but he said that the official ship will arrive in Yangzhou in two days."

Although it was said that there was no more news from Qiu Daniu, Lin Pingzhi was full of expectations even knowing that the imperial envoy was coming.

Lin Pingzhi believed that nine out of ten people who came this time were Li Huan.

Thinking of this, Lin Pingzhi looked at Qiu Daniu with joy in his heart and said: "Okay, okay, if the imperial envoy is really my family's lord, then all the ghosts and monsters in Yangzhou Prefecture will be wiped out."

As he said that, Lin Pingzhi looked at Qiu Daniu and said, "Brother Qiu, your family's enmity will be avenged by then."

Qiu Daniu couldn't help his eyes turning red when he heard the words: "As long as I can destroy the Xu family and avenge my unjust death, I will die immediately, and I can rest in peace."

Not to mention here, Lin Pingzhi learned that the imperial envoy was about to
The coming news silently waited for Li Huan's arrival, but said that Jing Kui, a local hero who controlled hundreds of outlaws under his command, was sizing up a big man in front of him in a living room.

Accompanied by none other than Ma Qi, a master of swordsmanship.

Jing Kui looked at Xiang Wentian, the well-known Left Envoy of the Sun Moon God Religion, Guangming Zuo, in front of him, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

As Ma Qi said, Xiang Wentian's strength is tyrannical. Jing Kui realized this when he saw Xiang Wentian. After all, Jing Kui is also a martial arts practitioner. With so many people under his command, among other things, he still has eyesight.

Thinking of Xiang Wentian's reputation in Jianghu, Jing Kui looked at Wentian with more and more satisfaction, so much so that there was a kind smile on his face.

You must know that Jing Kui has always maintained his own identity, and has never looked down on those people in the arena, let alone have any good looks towards them.

But now that he was able to treat Xiang Wentian with a smile on his face, it could be seen that Jing Kui was in a good mood.

While Jing Kui was looking at Xiang Jiantian, Xiang Wentian was also looking at Jing Kui. Originally, Xiang Wentian didn't want to deal with Jing Kui, a local tycoon with official status.

It's just that Xiang Wentian thought about his purpose of coming to Jiangnan this time, but changed his mind. After some lobbying by Ma Qi, he finally agreed to come to see Jing Kui.

When the two looked at each other, Ma Qi, who was sitting there, coughed lightly and said to Xiang Wentian, "This is Mr. Jingkui Jing from my family. If you come to Jiangnan, you have something important to do. If you can With the help of adults, I believe that in this Jiangnan land, there are few things that can be difficult for my adults."

Jing Kui stroked his beard, with a look of arrogance on his face, he chuckled with a bit of conceit: "It's not that Jing is boasting, but in this Jiangnan place, there is really nothing that can be difficult for Jing. "

From Jing Kui's point of view, Xiang Wentian is a man in the Jianghu, what big things can happen in this Jiangnan land, it can be said that as long as he is not designing the dignitaries in the officialdom, there is really nothing he can't handle.

Xiang Wentian's eyes flashed: Mang, his purpose in coming to Jiangnan this time is actually very simple, to find a way to rescue the imprisoned former director of the Sun Moon God Sect, Wo Xing.

Over the years, after many years of inquiring, Xiang Wentian finally vaguely determined where his former leader was imprisoned in a certain place in the south of the Yangtze River.

In order to determine the location of that place, Xiang Wentian has been inquiring about news in Jiangnan during this time.

It's just that the land in the south of the Yangtze River is vast, and it's not easy to locate a place. The Sun Moon God Sect is indeed powerful, but it's a pity that he can't rely on the power of the Sun Moon God Sect at all, so he only If you can rely on him to inquire a little bit, you can imagine how slow the efficiency is.

Not long ago, Xiang Wentian just got acquainted with Ma Qi. Ma Qi served under Jing Kui's subordinates, and took charge of a group of people for Jing Kui, so he can be regarded as a local snake.

So Xiang Wentian purposely befriended Ma Qi in order to use Ma Qi's power to inquire about news.

Xiang Wentian has also done the same for these years, otherwise, it would not be so easy for him to find the place where Ren Woxing was imprisoned by himself.

Now all the clues he is looking for point to one point, that is, the places where Ren Woxing is imprisoned are in Suhangyang, which are important places in the south of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, in order to make friends with local snakes like Ma Qi, Xiang Wentian really put in a lot of hard work, but Xiang Wentian's hard work, but the effect was not good, so Xiang Wentian asked Ma Qi for help.

But at this moment Xiang Wentian looked at Jing Kui and made up his mind. This time, no matter what, he must impress the person in front of him and ask him for help. With the power of the other party, he doesn't know how much he can save himself. Trouble, the sooner you find the place where the leader is held, the sooner you can rescue the leader.

Such a thought flashed in his mind, Xiang Wentian bowed his hands to Jing Kui and said: "I have admired Lord Jing's name for a long time, and seeing him today really deserves his reputation."

Jing Kui laughed loudly and said, "I've heard of the name Xiang Zuo Shi for a long time.

With a light cough, Xiang Wentian looked straight and said, "I heard from Brother Ma Qi that Your Excellency would like to ask Xiang to assassinate the imperial envoy?"

Jing Kui narrowed his eyes, leaned forward slightly, stared at Xiang Wentian and said, "If Xiang Zuo can help
If so, Jing here can promise to Zuoshi that if Xiangzuo wants something, Jing will do everything within his ability and go all out. "

Hearing Jing Kui's words, Xiang Wentian also looked at Jing Kui and said slowly: "I can accept the matter of assassinating the imperial envoy."

Seeing that Xiang Wentian agreed, Jing Kui was overjoyed and said: "Okay, with the help of a strong person like Xiang Zuoshi, the dog official must be doomed this time."

Speaking of Jing Kui, he said seriously: "I don't know if there is anything Xiang Zuo wants me to help. Even though Jingcai can't do it, Jing can also ask colleagues and friends to help. I believe that in the entire Yangzhou Prefecture, There are few things that Jing cannot do."

Xiang Wentian lightly smiled and said, "Xiang Mou has nothing else to ask, I just ask that the adults can help Xiang Mou find a place, and this place is imprisoning a person who is very important to Xiang Mou."

Originally thought that Xiang Wentian would ask for something, but he didn't expect that the other party just wanted him to help find someone, so Jing Kui couldn't help being stunned when he heard it.

But soon Jing Kui came to his senses, nodded to Xiang Wentian and said, "This matter couldn't be simpler, it's not that Jing is boasting, if you want to find someone, Xiang Zuoshi has found the right person, whether it's an official On the surface, they are still civilians, as long as Xiang Zuo sends the person he is looking for to the boundary of Yangzhou Prefecture, Jing can find him in less than a month."

Although Jing Kui's words are suspected of being boastful, but there is one thing Xiang Wentian has to admit, that is, if Jing Kui's status in the officialdom and his underground power in Yangzhou Mansion are really looking for someone , It's really much faster than him looking for it alone.

He cupped his hands at Jing Kui, and said to Wentian, "Thank you so much sir."

Jing Kui waved his hand at Xiang Wentian and said, "You don't have to be polite to Zuo Zuo, as long as Xiang Zuo can help us kill that dog official, that is the greatest thanks to Jing."

On the other hand, Xiang Wentian said confidently: "It's just an imperial envoy, and killing Xiang is like slaughtering a dog."

Xiang Wentian's mentality is actually the mentality of the vast majority of people in the Jianghu. In their eyes, the court officials are like killing them if they want to, let alone Xiang Wentian, who was born in a demon sect. There is no reverence for the court.

The night was dark, but the boats that used to flow on the surface of the Grand Canal became sparse. After all, there were still very few boats traveling in the dark, and most of them stopped at the ferry in advance to rest. In order to wait until after dawn and then go on the road.

But at this moment, there are several official ships on the river, and the lanterns hanging on the bows can only illuminate a limited distance.

Needless to say, these official ships were exactly the ships that Li Huan and his party took.

At this moment in the cabin, Li Huan was sitting cross-legged, looking leisurely and content, but beside him were armor and weapons gleaming with cold light.

Chen Ke and Ma Ming on the side looked dignified, looked up from time to time to look out of the cabin, and looked restless.

Ma Ming glanced at Li Huan, the worry on his face couldn't be concealed, and he seemed to be unable to bear it and said, "My lord, do you think those people will really come?"

Chen Ke also looked at Li Huan.

Li Huan smiled and did not answer Ma Ming, but said to Chen Ke: "Chen Ke, what do you think? Chen Ke took a deep breath, and a light flashed in his eyes and said: "Master Hui, at our boat speed, after dawn, We will arrive at Yangzhou Mansion, when the sky is bright and the sun is shining, those people will have no chance even if they want to do something in public, and their best opportunity is on the Grand Canal, as long as they are clean enough, when the time comes They can completely push everything clean, and even just need to report to the court, and I will die when the ship sinks. "

Hearing this, Ma Ming said, "So if they really want to do something, it will be tonight?"

Chen Ke nodded slowly and said: "If they don't do anything tonight, then we can only think of other ways when we enter the Yangzhou Mansion. There will be too many people at that time, and it will not be as convenient as doing it on the Grand Canal. If it were me, I would also choose to do it on the Grand Canal."

Ma Ming grinned and said: "Those people are not fools. We can all guess it, and even take precautions. How can they not realize this? They know: We are already prepared, will they come again?"

Li Huan fell down when he heard the words

He glanced at Ma Ming in surprise, and said with a light smile, "Oh, Ma Ming, you are so smart that you can still see this."

Hearing what Li Huan said, Ma Ming couldn't help laughing and said a little embarrassedly: "I really didn't think of this, but one of my hundred household officials told me."

Li Huan frowned and was about to speak, when suddenly his face changed slightly, and he said with a chuckle, "Here we come!"

Ma Ming and Chen Ke couldn't help being stunned by Li Huan's sudden words, and then Chen Ke was the first to react, and he stood up suddenly, subconsciously clenched the embroidered spring knife around his waist and said: "Those people are finally here ?"

Ma Ming also reacted when he heard the words, jumped up directly, his face was full of excitement and said: "Okay, it's good if you come, these people really have the courage to assassinate the imperial envoy, what else is there?" They dare not do it!"
