Looking back at Jinan Mansion, all kinds of rumors about Su Yan were rampant, and there was a faint trend of intensification, but under Zhang Huangyan's control, all kinds of rumors were quickly suppressed, and they were traced back to the source of the walking rumors.

After interrogation, what made Su Yan and Zhang Huangyan vigilant was that the spreaders of the source of the rumors all confessed that a man with a southern accent had bribed them to do it, and that man looked a little slender and dressed in the Confucian costume of a literati.

Southern accent.

This discovery made Su Yan couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.

In the south of his base camp, there were people who wanted his life, and he thought that with the help of the system, and he had indeed made the country prosperous, no one should want to overthrow him urgently.

But now it seems that this idea of his was undoubtedly slapped in the face, and there are still people who want his life, although it is not clear for what reason.

In addition to the southern accent, Su Yan also thought of another thing, this was too much of a coincidence, Qufu had just made some noise, and he was assassinated before he left Jinan City, it was difficult for him not to associate it with Confucius.

In fact, Zhang Huangyan also believes that the Confucian Mansion is likely to be behind the incident, pointing out that Kong Xingxie had been excessively quiet in the days leading up to the assassination, which was a clear contrast to the positive attitude he had when he first arrived in Jinan.

Although Su Yan also thought that Kong Fu was very suspicious, he was still cautious after all, intensified the investigation of Kong Xingxie, and monitored his subordinates around his residence, as long as Kong Xingxie made a move, he would be reported to Su Yan as soon as possible.

But before Kong Xingxie could make a move, the guys at the hotel where he stayed revealed Kong Xingxie's daily routine during this period of time under the interrogation of Jin Yiwei, and he also said one thing he had always kept in mind - one night when he got up at night, he accidentally found Kong Xingxie going out alone with the housekeeper, and they did not take a carriage, but were quickly drowned in the night by walking.

This incident immediately aroused the vigilance of the Jinyi Guard, and they began to investigate more deeply around this matter.

At the same time as Jinyiwei investigated, the officers and soldiers of the third town in the city also began to conduct door-to-door searches, searching for suspicious people from other places and literati with southern accents.

The actions of the officers and men were not deliberately concealed, and they swaggered down the streets to search the houses on the streets, so they were soon known to Li Tengjiao, who was hiding in the hotel, and after learning the target of the officers and soldiers, he immediately became a little anxious.

He looked at Wang Shouli on the side reproachfully, and said, "It seems that the people you went to find were caught by the government and confessed to you, otherwise why would the government suddenly start searching, it seems that we need to be ready to transfer as soon as possible."

Wang Shouli looked guilty, he didn't expect that he would be exposed so soon, in fact, there were northerners among the dead soldiers around them, but considering that they had appeared at the scene of the assassination, they were worried that they would be exposed, so Wang Shouli could only go by himself.

In any case, it's too late to regret it now, and now that the government has noticed them, they must be ready to transfer.

However, Wang Shouli thought of the two dead soldiers who had not returned on the day of the assassination, and couldn't help asking, "What about Yingfu and Wang Delu who have not yet returned?" Do you want to inform them?"

"No, I don't." Li Tengjiao shook his head and said, "If they knew that the government was searching for assassins, they would know how to find a way out, even if they were caught by the government, it would be fine, they would be tight-lipped and would not confess to us."

This is true, both of them are dead soldiers loyal to King Han, and those who can accept this mission to come to Shandong, their loyalty has naturally been tested, so Li Tengjiao is not worried that they will confess after being caught.

Li Tengjiao was packing up here and ready to retreat at any time, but on the other side, Wang Shangli's worried Yingfu and Wang Delu were nervously looking through the window at the soldiers rushing downstairs, their temporary hideout was about to be searched.

"What are I going to do?"

Ying Fu tried his best to keep his voice low, and asked Wang Delu beside him, his voice fell, and he turned his head to look at the next room where there was a sound of rustling from time to time, and made a knife shape with his right hand, looking at his neck and scratching his hand

Gesture: "Do it?"

Wang Delu didn't answer, he also looked at the next room, where a couple was tied up, they were dragged by the flow of people to retreat in the opposite direction when they first retreated, and they wanted to go back and gather with Li Tengjiao and them, but the government issued martial law in time.

In order to avoid being captured by the government, they could only randomly select a family to climb over the wall and control the couple, who have been living in this house for several days.

Wang Delu didn't have any compassion and didn't want to attack the couple, he was just thinking about how they could break out of the encirclement after killing someone.

Seeing that Wang Delu did not react for a long time, Ying Fu was a little impatient, he was about to go over with a knife and click the couple, but at this moment, Wang Delu finally spoke, he stopped Ying Fu and said, "Cut out the man's tongue, blindfold and drive out, attract the attention of the officers and soldiers, and we will take the opportunity to escape through the side door."

"What about the woman?"

Wang Delu didn't answer, just made a throat-slitting gesture, Ying Fu immediately understood, he turned around and walked into the compartment, and within a few seconds, there was the sound of a sharp weapon entering the flesh, followed by the gurgling sound of oxygen flowing out of the trachea.

After a few more seconds, amid the man's faint crying, the blindfolded man was forcibly dragged downstairs by Yingfu, and Wang Delu did not participate in the harm to the man.

He stood at the back door and waited quietly, and after dozens of breaths, a heart-rending scream suddenly sounded at the front door, followed by a rush of footsteps, Yingfu with blood on his hands ran over quickly, Wang Delu did not hesitate, opened the back door and rushed out first.

The man's screams suddenly broke the silence of the entire street, and the officers and soldiers who searched rushed into the street, looking at the man with blood on his face in amazement, and several soldiers who reacted quickly rushed forward and pressed the running man under him.

The street opposite the front door was in chaos, Wang Delu and Ying Fu thought they could escape like this, but they didn't expect that they had just rushed out of an alley, and collided with a group of Cossack infantry.

The shouts of several Cossack infantry also attracted the attention of some nearby soldiers, and they all gathered around, one of the soldiers had just leaned out of the alley, and before he could react, Wang Delu took the first step to raise his knife and cut down, the knife slashed into the soldier's neck, blood gushed out, splashed his face, and the soldier didn't even scream, and his whole body collapsed limply.

As soon as they saw that some robes were killed, the pursuing soldiers became even more convinced that they were assassins, and while calling the nearby robes to come and surround them, they chased after them, and soon the two fell into the encirclement.
