Detective Di Renjie: The Mysterious Dynasty

Chapter 383 Iron Hand Group (Part )
Zhao Ji and Li Yuanfang talked about the history and origins of the Iron Hand Group.

After they finished speaking, the three of them all felt that the Iron Hand Group was difficult to deal with, and the atmosphere in the room became a little depressing for a moment.

After a long while, Zhao Ji smiled and shook his head: "There's no need to be too cautious!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Yuanfang and Di Renjie both turned their attention to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji spoke slowly, his tone somewhat calm: "Even though the Iron Hand Group is powerful, how does it compare to the Snake Spirit of the past?"

"When the Snake Spirit was at its peak, there were many high-ranking officials in the court, and the organization had tens of thousands of members! There were also top masters like Kui Wenzhong, and evil tricks like human skin masks."

"Xiao Qingfang, Jin Mulan and others relied on their treachery to easily start a war between the two countries involving hundreds of thousands of people. In the end, good prevailed over evil!"

Upon hearing this, Di Renjie raised his lips and nodded approvingly: "That makes sense! The more brutal and cruel the evil forces such as the Snake Spirit and the Iron Hand Group are, the more determined we must be to eradicate them!"

Li Yuanfang also smiled. He had never been a timid person who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

However, after Zhao Ji uttered these bold words, he thought about the Iron Hand Group's style of doing things in his mind and something moved his heart.

He solemnly reminded, "But you must be careful. The Iron Hand Group is different from the Snake Spirit after all. The Snake Spirit has a close relationship with the imperial court and is cautious in its actions. It has never deliberately harmed you before."

"The Iron Hand Group is indeed a real killer organization. They will never hesitate like the Snake Spirit. They will definitely use any means necessary. My Lord, you must be more careful!"

"Even Yuan Fang! You must know that two fists are no match for four hands, and it is easy to dodge a spear but hard to guard against an arrow!" Zhao Ji said earnestly.

After these words were spoken, Di Renjie did not react, and it was unclear how much he had heard. Li Yuanfang was a little surprised.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "Of course I have to be careful about your safety. With my martial arts, I can't say I'm invincible, but I can tell anyone who wants to come and go. Is there anything to worry about?"

However, Li Yuanfang changed his mind and realized that Zhao Ji also had good intentions and was mainly trying to remind Di Renjie, so he nodded and agreed.

Di Renjie said with a somewhat naughty look: "Chengyuan, are you worried that I will go on a secret visit again?"

Zhao Ji sighed helplessly and said, "If Ruyan or Xiaofeng could spare some time to come and personally guard you, I might feel more at ease."

"But Ruyan is staying in Jiangzhou to take care of Jinniang, Xiaomei is pregnant, and Xiaofeng cannot leave Beijing either. Yuanfang and I often have to act separately."

"As for Zhang Huan and Li Lang, their martial arts skills are still a little lacking. Therefore, whether you are visiting incognito or not, you should always be careful!"

Di Renjie neither nodded nor shook his head, but just smiled and said: "Of course I will act carefully, but sometimes opportunities are rare, and I still have to take the risk!"

After hearing this, Zhao Ji shook his head helplessly again. He knew that Di Renjie was right.

As for Li Yuanfang, at least he did not act alone this time, so he would not be besieged and would not be in danger of losing his memory.

The headquarters of the Iron Hand Group.

The overall environment here is still dim, and the whole thing is lit by torches on the surrounding walls. It looks like another underground hall.

Directly north of the hall hangs a sculpture of a severed hand carefully cast in cast iron.

The palm was opened like a claw, and the lines on the palm of the severed hand looked like a huge mouth, as if trying to grab something. The shape was lifelike, and the muscles were clearly visible, as if it contained endless resentment, desire, and power.

A dark red color spread from the fingers to the palm, and it was difficult to tell whether it was dried blood or smeared paint.

But this hand was cut off at the root, which was a very horrifying sight and gave chills to the heart of all the viewers.

Under this iron hand, there was a huge couch carefully carved from high-quality wood, with a huge tiger skin spread on it. It was the main seat of the sect leader.

On both sides of the huge couch, there are two rows of neatly and orderly arranged chairs, totaling twenty.

Torches were burning throughout the hall, and the light was bright yet soft, illuminating every corner.

Sixteen men in black tights and with sturdy bodies sat on the chairs in order, all with sharp eyes and murderous looks.

These people are the leaders of the Iron Hand Group. They exude murderous aura and have blood on their hands. You can tell at first glance that they are troublesome people.

However, these evil stars, as fierce as wolves and tigers, are now like tamed cats. They sit obediently on their chairs, motionless, waiting for the arrival of some important person.

Following a steady sound of footsteps, a man in a blue shirt slowly walked into the hall and came to the front of the huge couch.

At first glance, there was nothing special about this man. He had a graceful figure and a string of Buddhist beads in his hand that was gently turning. He looked like a rich country tycoon.

But if there were true masters like Zhao Ji or Li Yuanfang here, they would definitely be able to sense the terrifying power hidden by this person.

Beneath this seemingly bloated body, perhaps lies the domineering power that is enough to tear tigers and leopards apart and kill bears!
As soon as the main master arrived, the sixteen hall masters below stood up in unison and saluted respectfully, saying, "Master!"

Yuan Qi nodded slightly, motioning everyone to sit down, and then asked loudly: "Does Yuan Gui have any new news?" Hu Yun, who was ranked the first among the sixteen, stepped out upon hearing the voice and reported respectfully: "The young master wrote that the imperial envoy's guard will arrive in Yangzhou in one day, and will only stop in Shanyang for a while to purchase supplies. As for the imperial envoy, the King of Yan, he has not shown up yet."

Yuan Qi did not comment, and then asked: "How is Long Feng doing?"

Hu Yun hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "I haven't received any news from Long Feng yet..."

This answer obviously did not satisfy Yuan Qi, and he couldn't help but frown.

However, Long Feng was not here, and he had no place to vent his dissatisfaction, so he had to suppress his emotions for the time being.

Yuan Qi walked slowly to Hu Yun and asked again in a deep voice: "What about Yun Gu and Lu Lan? They should have dealt with that tricky idea. Next, we need to let Wohu Manor cooperate with the government troops to wipe out the troublemakers as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise, once the imperial envoy arrives and comes into contact with those unruly people, the Yangzhou government will be completely passive!"

When mentioning this, beads of sweat appeared on Hu Yun's forehead. Yuan Qi's fierce aura was so close that he was frightened.

He replied with a trembling voice: "Reporting to the Sect Master, there was also an accident with Yun Gu..."

When Yuan Qi heard this, the rosary in his hand suddenly stopped spinning.

He turned his head to look at Hu Yun, his eyes flashing with ferocity, and asked in a sharp and unquestionable tone: "Accident? What accident?"

Hu Yun swallowed hard and lowered his head completely.

He didn't dare look directly at Yuan Qi, and reported in a low voice: "Yes... Lu Lu was unfortunately killed, and Yun Gu was also injured."

"She said...said that the martial arts of that expert is not inferior to that of the eldest brother, and asked the sect master to let the eldest brother lead the team, and at least send ten more hall masters, so that...then we can proceed..."

When Yuan Qi heard this, he flew into a rage and suddenly roared at Hu Yun: "You mean ten hall masters?!"

With a "bang", the chair behind Hu Yun was smashed into pieces by Yuan Qi's palm.

The momentum and tone were just like a vicious tiger devouring a person!

Hu Yun’s name contained the word “tiger”, but he could not withstand such momentum and immediately fell to his knees: “Master, spare my life!”

Upon seeing this, the other dozen or so hall masters did not dare to breathe and fell to their knees on the ground one after another.

Yuan Qi took a deep breath, calmed his anger, and stood up straight again.

Although he was angry, his reason was not clouded. He did not vent his anger on Hu Yun, but said in a deep voice: "Ten hall masters, ten. You lead the team yourself!"

"If you fail to complete the mission again, you don't need to come back to see me!"

Hu Yun's heart tightened, and he quickly agreed: "Yes!"

Yuan Qi's gaze swept over the remaining hall masters one by one. His eyes were cold and deep, as if he could see through everyone's thoughts.

"You," Yuan Qi said in a deep and powerful voice, "are all the elites of the Iron Hand Group, and my right-hand men. This operation not only concerns the reputation of the Iron Hand Group, but also our survival."

"The Imperial Guard will be here soon. We must handle everything before they do and never let them reveal any flaws. Otherwise, once the truth is revealed, we will all be doomed."

Upon hearing this, the hall masters all looked solemn and answered "yes" in unison.

"Alright," Yuan Qi waved his hand, "You guys go get ready now. Make sure you assemble the team in the shortest possible time and set off to Crouching Tiger Village."

"Yes!" The hall masters answered in unison, then stood up and quickly left the hall to prepare.

Yuan Qi looked at the backs of the hall masters as they left, and a strong premonition surged in his heart.

This operation will never be as simple as it seems.

Who exactly is that so-called expert? He could actually make Yun Gu and Lu Lan fall.

However, Yuan Qi was not afraid of this.

He was absolutely confident that nothing in Yangzhou could defeat the Iron Hand Group.

That so-called King of Yan is just a brat. If he knows what's good for him, it'll be fine. Otherwise! Humph!

Thinking of this, Yuan Qi once again focused his attention on the rosary in his hand and began to turn it silently.

Yuan Qi is not a kind-hearted person. The Iron Hand Group is best at killing people to silence them!
