Chapter 305: The Murderer

Soon, news came back one after another, and they really found many middle-aged men wearing chiffon silk with white wolf patterns embroidered on their chests, most of whom claimed to be businessmen in the leather business. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Jinzhou's terrain is northerly, and the climate is cold and dry for most of the year. Snow begins to fall every year before October and lasts until March or April of the following year.

Therefore, there are many foreign businessmen who do leather business in Jinzhou City, and this business is relatively profitable. The merchants made money, and of course the food, clothing, and housing were the best. Impersonating such businessmen is not easy to arouse suspicion.

Qin Yue listened to Master Cui's narration, and his mood became even heavier.

"My lord, how many troops are there in Jinzhou now?"

Master Cui was stunned for a moment before saying, "Not much, about 10,000." ”

Jinzhou is not as good as Yunzhou.

Because Yunzhou is directly connected with the Southern Yu Kingdom, it is the most direct and important gateway for the Southern Yu Kingdom to attack the Dadu Dynasty, and there is no room for failure.

Therefore, heavy troops have been sent to guard the vicinity of Yunzhou for many years.

Although Jinzhou lived side by side with Yunzhou on the territory of the Dadu Dynasty, there was no official road directly leading to the Southern Yu Kingdom, so Jinzhou was equivalent to being protected by Yunzhou in disguise.

Even if the Southern Yu Kingdom pressed the territory and could not capture Yunzhou, it would not be able to enter the territory of Jinzhou.

Therefore, there have never been many soldiers and horses stationed in Jinzhou.

However, if Nanyu does not take a hard attack, and only keeps secretly sending spies and killers to mix into Jinzhou City to cause chaos, it may also cause a catastrophe over time...

For example, the current serial murder and dismemberment case has already caused panic among the people.

According to the number of people reported by the arresters, the number of this killer team has reached hundreds.

They don't seem to have any contact with each other, and they live in different inns, and they come and go in different places, but they wear the same clothes and robes embroidered with the same patterns, and they become living rakes.

However, even if Qin Yue discovered this secret now, he couldn't do anything about them for a while, and he didn't dare to act rashly...

I couldn't say anything, so I had to transfer troops into the city.

But then the movement will be big, and those killers are likely to hide when they hear about it, and it will be difficult to find them.

Qin Yue was undecided for a while, and only after a long time of silence did he ask Master Cui to call the catchers back first.

Master Cui went with a puzzled face, and after a while, he turned back again.

Qin Yue no longer hid it from him, and told him that the murderer was likely to be a killer sent by Nanyu Kingdom, and so on, and finally sighed and said: "For today's plan, we have to ask General Gu to help us arrest people." Therefore, I have to trouble you, my lord, to quietly go to General Gu's side to write a letter, and ask him to come to the mansion tonight to meet and discuss countermeasures. ”

Master Cui was suddenly shocked, and then anger swelled up, "Evil wolf!

Master Cui scolded while going back to the study to write a letter.

Here June also actively ran to the backyard with the letter.

The letter was sent by Yan Yuan through Whirlwind Guard's secret channels. When Yan Yuan left Beijing, he didn't know that Qin Yue would come to Jinzhou, and as soon as Qin Yue left on his front foot, Su Bing thought of sending the news to their young master.

However, Yan Yuan has now penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Southern Yu Kingdom, and it is not as convenient as transmitting news to each other as in the territory of the Dadu Dynasty.

This is the first time Qin Yue has received a letter from Yan Yuan.

In the letter, Yan Yuan didn't have time to reproach her, but only said some confidential information that he had discovered.

Among them, Xiao Qian instigated the Six Princes to send the White Wolf Regiment to Jinzhou to disrupt public order. The letter also mentioned that Ye Li, the long-missing pavilion master of the Qianlong Pavilion, had been taken away by Xiao and fled to the Southern Yu Kingdom, and now he was the head of the White Wolf Regiment.

The royal family of Nanyu Kingdom has been in turmoil for a long time, and the power of the six princes and other royal family members was evenly matched, but because of the two strong foreign aids, Xiao Qian and Ye Li, he became the most powerful prince in the royal family to win the throne.

Under Xiao Qian's planning, the princes in the royal family, such as the five princes and the eight princes, who knew that they did not have the strength to compete for the throne, took refuge in the six princes, making him even more powerful now, as if he had become the de facto emperor of Nanyu, but he had not yet gone through the procedure of ascending the throne.

Slightly weaker than him in the imperial family is Prince Rong, the younger brother of the old emperor.

Prince Rong can fight well, and he has four or five out of ten troops in the Southern Yu Kingdom, but he usually sits on the border, and his connections in the palace and the court are extremely scarce, so there are very few courtiers who support him. But it was precisely because he had a heavy army that the six princes did not dare to really ascend the throne and claim the emperor before he got his support.

In general, the current situation in Nanyu is that the six princes are sitting in Beijing to handle all government affairs, and Prince Rong is eyeing the border with heavy troops.

If the two forces continue to stalemate like this, it will be a good thing for the Dadu Dynasty.

What Yan Yuan is worried about now is that once the two of them reach an agreement and twist into a rope, and after the six princes successfully ascend the throne, let Prince Rong lead the army to invade Yunzhou, then there will inevitably be a vicious battle between the two countries.

The Sixth Prince may not have had such thoughts before, but now that he has Xiao Qian, a dog-headed military advisor who rebelled from the Dadu Dynasty, it is difficult to say.

In fact, this is already a definite fact.

The fact that the Six Princes sent the White Wolf Regiment to infiltrate Jinzhou and do such evil things has already proved that he was moved by Xiao Qian's words.

It seems that the white wolves in Jinzhou City must be killed as soon as possible, and their spirit must be frustrated.

That night, General Gu really disguised himself as an ordinary person and entered the city, and quietly entered the backyard of the government office.

Master Cui had already asked his female dependents to avoid it early, led them all the way to his study, and sent his henchmen over to invite Miss Qin Wu over.

After the three of them greeted each other, they were no longer polite.

Qin Yue told the current situation and her own speculations, including the inside information that Yan Yuan told her in the letter.

General Gu didn't expect that there would be so much inside information behind this serial murder case. After a while, he promised to do his best to help the prefect arrest the murderer.

It is obviously not feasible for a large army to enter the city to encircle and suppress. Not to mention whether he could kill all the members of the White Wolf Group in one fell swoop, it had already caused chaos among the people.

Anything can happen in the chaos, and it is the ordinary people who suffer in the end.

Therefore, you can only assassinate, select the target and break each one, and succeed in one blow, without letting the surrounding people notice.

But after all, they are quite numerous, have high martial arts, and are very alert, once they realize that they have exposed their target, they are likely to use the unsuspecting people around them as a cover to escape.

General Gu also felt embarrassed, although his men were good at fighting and brave, but they were all fighting with the enemy on the battlefield. Assassination methods like this are disdainful and not good at for military personnel.
