Evil of all ages

Chapter 147 Elimination
Hearing Di Qingtian ask such a direct and straightforward question without any beating around the bush, Wu Tengguang fell silent.

Seeing Wu Tengguang's expression, Di Qingtian immediately knew that his guess was correct, but he didn't know what role the Wu family played in this.

At the same time, he hoped that the Wu family would not go too far, otherwise even if he wanted to help the Wu family out of respect for Wu Yujiao, he would not be able to.

Seeing that Wu Tengguang was still deep in thought, Di Qingtian was in no hurry and gave him enough time to think.

"The day before Your Excellency arrived in Shangyun County, a mysterious force approached our Wu family."

"They said they could help us eliminate the Fu and Yang families, on the condition that the Wu family would give them 30% of our profits each quarter."

"They also said that they don't participate in the internal decision-making of our Wu family, don't interfere in our business, and don't care what we do."

"As long as it's time, we just need to pay them the 'protection fee' on time."

"Because our Wu family was severely suppressed by the Fu and Yang families, I agreed to their demands."

"This afternoon is the agreed-upon time for our Wu family to pay the 'protection fee'."

Wu Tengguang weighed the pros and cons and decided to reveal everything.

Upon hearing this, Di Qingtian frowned. He hadn't expected that this mysterious force was helping the Wu family just to collect "protection fees."

Didn't they tell you what faction they belonged to?

Di Qingtian asked.

"Have"

"They said they were from the Green Dragon Society."

Wu Tengguang replied.

The Azure Dragon Society!?

Di Qingtian pondered, wondering where this Azure Dragon Society came from, and how it could have such great power to snatch food from the jaws of the Fear Organization.

"They also told me that the Azure Dragon Society has seven dragon heads, each with their own rules of conduct, and that their master is the Black Emperor."

Wu Tengguang said.

Why are you telling me so much?

Di Qingtian asked.

"I always felt that they were deliberately telling me so much, wanting to use me to convey their message to Your Excellency the Imperial Envoy."

Wu Tengguang replied.

The Azure Dragon Society, the Black Emperor!

Di Qingtian felt a bit of a headache. The emergence of this organization was already troublesome for him, and now an even more mysterious Azure Dragon Society had appeared.

The key point is that he had never heard of the Azure Dragon Society before.

Being able to snatch food from the jaws of the Fear Organization shows that their strength is significantly greater than that of the Fear Organization.

Now that the military pay is in the hands of the Green Dragon Society, how can he take it back?

Could it be that he intends to exploit the conflict between the Wei organization and the Qinglong Society, causing them to weaken each other, so that he can reclaim the military funds?

Mr. Kim from the Formidable Organization seems to know him very well; it's likely that Mr. Kim saw through his scheme before he even had a chance to use him.

Furthermore, the fact that the Azure Dragon Society dared to reveal so much information to him suggests that, besides the confidence derived from their strength, there are probably even more troublesome figures within their ranks than Mr. Jin.

"Ah~"

Di Qingtian sighed inwardly. He just couldn't understand why he kept encountering enemies who had brains.

The worst part is that these enemies particularly enjoy provoking him.

Just because he holds the title of the world's number one detective, everyone comes to fight him with wits and courage.

If you can't outwit him, you're not happy, right?

They're all fucking crazy!

After cursing under his breath, Di Qingtian inquired about how the Wu family had handed over the "protection fee" to the Qinglong Society that afternoon.

"They told us to go to Shuanghu Village, put all the silver into sacks, load them onto a boat, sail about 20 feet from the shore, and then throw the sacks of silver overboard."

Wu Tengguang replied.

When Di Qingtian heard that it was Shuanghu Village again, he felt strange. Could it be that his every move was being controlled by the Qinglong Society?

Mr. Jin sent someone to Shuanghu Village to pick him up, but Mr. Jin ran away in front of him.

Now that the Azure Dragon Society has pulled this stunt, he suspects it's intentional, making him experience the feeling of not being able to catch anyone again.

Damn it, we've really been provoked.

"They don't check the accounts, aren't they afraid you'll put less silver in the sacks?"

Di Qingtian asked curiously.

"They said they'll judge for themselves whether it's less or not."

"If they find something is missing, the first time they'll come to our Wu family warehouse and take double the amount themselves." "The second time, in addition to taking it themselves, they'll also cut off the heads of half of our Wu family."

Wu Tengguang replied.

"Hmph, this Azure Dragon Society is really domineering."

Afterwards, Di Qingtian stayed at the Wu family's house for a meal, took a short nap, and then went to Shuanghu Village with the Wu family.

In order to capture the members of the Green Dragon Society, Di Qingtian set off red fireworks and blew his flute to call back the water ghost Jiang Wei.

Instruct Jiang Wei, the Water Ghost, to keep an eye on the underwater area. Once the Green Dragon Society members transport the silver away underwater, immediately follow them.

"Your Excellency, it's time."

Upon hearing this, Di Qingtian nodded and told Wu Tengguang to get on with his work.

With permission, Wu Tengguang had his servants load bags of silver onto the boat and transport them to a distance of about 20 feet from the shore.

Only after seeing Wu Tengguang nod did the people on the boat dare to throw bags of silver overboard.

As bags of silver sank to the bottom of the water, the water ghost Jiang Wei kept a close eye on them.

Even after all five sacks of silver sank to the bottom of the water, Jiang Wei, the water ghost, still didn't see anyone come to retrieve them.

Just when he thought the Azure Dragon Society wouldn't dare to show up, a dark figure suddenly appeared.

Upon seeing the enormous black shadow of the creature underwater, Jiang Wei, the water ghost, narrowed his eyes and inadvertently made a sound.

After swallowing the five bags of silver, the enormous black shadow discovered the hiding place of the water ghost Jiang Wei and struck directly with its tail.

On the shore, Di Qingtian saw that the canal was calm and thought that Jiang Wei, the water ghost, had secretly followed the Qinglong Society and was preparing to go back.

Suddenly, the water surface churned and exploded, and the figure of the water ghost Jiang Wei flew out of the water and flew towards the shore.

Di Qingtian's expression darkened. He hadn't expected that Jiang Wei, the Water Ghost, would be discovered so easily by the Azure Dragon Society.

I never expected the Azure Dragon Society to be so powerful, and that there was someone even more formidable than Jiang Wei, the Water Ghost, in underwater combat.

He gave Tian Fugong a look, and Tian Fugong immediately caught the water ghost Jiang Wei who was flying backwards.

"Cough cough..."

Jiang Wei, the water ghost who was caught, couldn't help but cough up a little blood, clearly indicating that he had suffered considerable internal injuries.

"Who hurt you like this?"

Di Qingtian was very curious. There were many people on land who were stronger than the water ghost Jiang Wei, but underwater, he had only encountered one fish king, Dai Gang, who was on par with him.

In the martial arts world, no one is more skilled underwater than Jiang Wei, the Water Ghost.

Even if there were, it wouldn't be enough to cause internal injuries to Jiang Wei, the water ghost.

"Cough...no...not human..."

Upon hearing Jiang Wei, the water ghost, say that he was not human, Di Qingtian became even more curious and waited for Jiang Wei to continue.

"It's...it's a snake, a very big snake. I didn't see how long it was, but it was as thick as a small boat."

"It swallowed five bags of silver and then spotted me. It lashed out with its tail, and I couldn't dodge it, so it swatted me away."

Jiang Wei, the water ghost, was terrified. He had seen many huge creatures underwater, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a large snake.

The key thing is that this snake also has horns.

This left him unsure whether it was a snake or a dragon.

snake!
Upon hearing that it was a snake, Di Qingtian immediately thought of the Wanshe Valley, which had been destroyed, as only the people of Wanshe Valley possessed the secret technique to control snakes.

Therefore, there must still be descendants of the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes alive.

"You should focus on recovering first. We'll talk about it once you're healed."

Di Qingtian led everyone back and made the following arrangements.

He instructed Yin Tianyong to take the water ghost Jiang Wei back to the yamen to recover from his injuries, and to have Yin Tianyong stay at the yamen to receive his friend if he came.

He had Shadow Five hide in the Wu family's warehouse. This season's profit should have been seven bags of silver, not five. He deliberately made the Wu family give him two fewer bags.

The Azure Dragon Society will definitely return and take double the spoils. He ordered Shadow Five to keep an eye on them. Shadow Five is an assassin, so tracking people is no problem for him.

As long as the Azure Dragon Society members come, Shadow Five will definitely gain something.

As for him, besides having people search for the whereabouts of the successor of the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, he also took Tian Fugong and Yin Tianying to the navy.

The burned ghost ship bears the mark of Flying Dragon Village, which should be under the control of the Wei organization. Mr. Jin is probably hiding inside Flying Dragon Village.

On the canal, the strength of the navy is necessary to deal with river bandits.

Therefore, he had to use his status as an imperial envoy to control the navy and eliminate any internal spies.

Even if the internal spies are not completely eliminated, we must cut off their ability to send messages to Flying Dragon Village.
