Ding Rong was born in Qingzhou and served as the governor of Huainan County for less than three months; Ran Feng used to be the head of Danyang County in Jiangzuo, and was only transferred to this position before the outbreak of the disease two months ago; As for the county commander Chen Zhong, a native of Liyang County for generations, he is a cousin of the Qin family, and he is also the most likely person to instruct the assassination of Li Qian.

But if you talk about the degree of familiarity with the two counties of Liyang and Junxuan, then Ran Feng is also very likely to be the main messenger.

Because, Ran Feng is also a cousin of the Qin family!

"Lu Qing!" Xia Pei's eyes fell on Lu Zhaoyi's body, "You told me, what did you find that caused you to be so sure that someone poisoned Li Qing because of privately occupying a city and a place?" ”

His voice was majestic and irresistible, but there was a hint of worry hidden in his eyes, for he knew that her judgment had never been wrong.

When Lu Zhaoyi heard this, he smiled lightly, his eyes swept over the people in the hall, and then fell on the body of Ran Feng, the county master, "Ran master, I want to ask you, Ju Yancheng has been included in the surrender book since the defeat of the Yue Kingdom. In the book, it is recorded that the south of the city is located, with a radius of 50 miles of fertile land, which is attributed to the imperial court and recorded under the rule of Liyang County. ”

When she said this, her eyes were cold, and they shot at him like a cold knife.

"But now this land occupies such a large area, in whose name?"

Her tone was aggressive, and Ran Feng couldn't help but be a little flustered when she stared at her like this, and a dense layer of cold sweat oozed from her forehead.

"That Liang Tilt, it is in the name of you, Master Ran, is what I said wrong?"

Her tone became more and more cold, and her repeated questioning made Ran Feng's face change drastically, and his legs couldn't help but weaken slightly, but after all, he was the county master, and he quickly returned to normal, barely maintaining his composure.

But Lu Zhaoyi never gave him a chance to breathe, and asked again and again, "Because a few days ago, His Majesty sent a large army to station, the Qin family scattered and fled, and Li Qian happened to be investigating the good tilt here, so you made this decision and found people from the rivers and lakes to assassinate you, is there anything wrong with what I said?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's breath couldn't help but suffocate.

They never thought that Ran Feng, who looked gentle and polite on weekdays, turned out to be a vicious person behind his back.

When the officials saw this, they were all stunned and couldn't believe it at all.

Ran Feng's face was as white as paper, his lips trembled, and a trace of horror appeared in his eyes, but he refused to admit it.

"Your Majesty, do you believe this kind of thing? This is a frame-up! He rushed to Xia Pei's table, was swept away by the spear in the hand of the entourage, and knocked the person to the ground.

"Framed?" Lu Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows, his eyes were as cold as a knife, "It's better for Your Majesty to check the original drop book and compare it with the records of the geography of Liyang County, and you can draw conclusions." ”

She was confident and determined, and Ran Feng suddenly lay on the ground speechless, looking hurried.

The next moment, something unexpected happened, and the county commander Chen Zhong suddenly rushed forward, took out the dagger that had been prepared for a long time, and stabbed it into Ran Feng's spleen.

But when he saw Chen Zhong, a mouthful of black blood came out of his mouth, obviously swallowing poison.

Ran Feng's eyes widened, his face was full of disbelief, and his eyes were staring at Chen Zhong with dead eyes, unwilling and angry.

But this Chen Zhong was full of hideousness, with a weird smile on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, everyone screamed and retreated, and some even sat down on the ground in fright.

The guards had already drawn their blades and protected Xia Pei behind them.

"You, you, you!" Ran Feng pointed at him with the only remaining hand, but he couldn't speak.

Chen Zhong smiled proudly, "Ran Feng, you once swore in front of the gang leader that you would never reveal the secrets of the gang, and if you die, you won't say it." ”

He pulled out the dagger again, raised his hand, and slashed at Ran Feng's throat, blood gushing out, splashing a few drops on Chen Zhong's cheek.

This scene surprised Lu Zhaoyi, desperately searching for clues in his mind, and immediately shouted, "You, are you from the Qian Tang Gang?" Are you and Ran Feng? ”

Chen Zhong grinned, raised his head and laughed, shouting to the sky.

"Gou Chen will not die, and the national enemy will not be destroyed!"

With that, he leaned back and lost his breath.

This sentence was also heard by her as early as when she was in Luojing, the first time she met Xia Pei for the first time in Gouchen Courtyard, and the second time was on the way to welcome Da Sima back to Beijing.

Since it was shouted out of Chen Zhong's mouth again, it was really finalized, all this was done behind the Qiantang Gang?

How much energy does this gang that has assassinated "Gou Chenzi" many times in Luojing have a profound influence?

She didn't understand.

On the first seat, Xia Sheng stared, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice for a long time: "The Qiantang Gang, a small gang, since it is so arrogant, it is simply tired, and there is no need for thunder means, I am afraid that I don't know who is in charge in this world." ”

"What does Your Majesty want to do?" Lu Zhaoyi interrupted in a cold voice, "You want to slaughter Jiang Zuo?" Now this is no longer a simple matter of the gangs in the rivers and lakes, the Qiantang Gang has gone deep into the Dayuan court, Your Majesty's move, I am afraid that it will cause monstrous waves and subvert the world. ”

"What then? Just let it go? ”

Lu Zhaoyi raised his eyes, calmly, looked at him and smiled, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will not let the Qian Tang Gang continue." ”

With that, she turned around and walked out of the lobby.

After experiencing this incident, her original plan also changed, and the temple matter was solved in the way of the temple; As for the rivers and lakes, they still need to be solved by the rules of the rivers and lakes.

Before leaving Junyu County, she first ordered the Qingzhou army in Xuzhou to divide into two routes, blockading Jiangbei all the way, and turning the direction all the way into the camp outside Luojing City, so as to deter the ministers in Beijing.

At the same time, she wants to gather all the shadow guards and armor guards in the three counties, and station them in Liyang and Fuling, and prepare to march to Danyang County.

At the moment, there is Xia Pei stationed in Junyu County, and there should be no danger.

Bidding farewell to Xia Pei, she set off again with a hundred guards and headed for Feicheng.

At the same time, Li Qian's Lang Zhong ordered Tang Qiong to accompany him.

Along the way, she talked with Tang Qiong and learned a lot about the situation of the Qian Tang Gang.

These people are extremely powerful in Jiangzuo, not only can they control the Dayuan Imperial Court with one hand, but they also have huge wealth and great influence.

It is said that the leader of the Qiantang Gang went crazy at night, and there was a strategist under him, codenamed "Xiao Yaozi", who was scheming and decisive, and the Jiangzuo clan recognized him as the master.

Among the Jiangzuo clans, except for the three major families of the Du family, the Wu family, and the Yu family, the rest are all respected by the Qian Tangfeng clan.

And the head of this Feng clan should be the person who helped the leader to go crazy at night, and there are many masters around him, and he has also been mentioned by others to enter the Yue Imperial Court.

But a few months ago, Wu Gong went south to conquer and annihilated hundreds of thousands of Jiangzuo troops in one fell swoop, and the Yue Kingdom was destroyed, and Feng Zhi, the head of the Feng family, was deposed, and his son Feng Shizhao was a straw bale, which was useless.

So, Feng Zhi thought of supporting his younger brother, that is, the current Qian Tang gang leader.

But this late madness is indeed a person who is not normal in his heart, lonely and murderous, and once chopped up his parents with his own hands.

is such a person, and he actually has a very tough backer, who instructs him to do evil in Jiangzuo and act as a prestige.

"From this point of view, the one who can really control Jiangzuo's forces is Xiao Yaozi behind him?"

Listening to the whole thing, Lu Zhaoyi also bluntly said his thoughts.

"Definitely." Tang Qiong shook his head, "This person is crazy at night, although he is ruthless, but the city government is extremely deep, and he is not a person who is easy to deal with." ”

She thought about it, and she felt the same way.

If there was no thunder wrist, how could such a gang grow in such a short period of time and affect the whole world?

This man must be eliminated!

Thinking of this, she clenched her fists, and a cold light burst out of her eyes.

The group traveled quickly, and it was not until around midnight on the second day that they came to the outside of Feicheng City.

From a distance, she saw Ying Feng and Qu Zhiyun, as well as Gu Man who waved at her.

"How's the situation in the city?" As soon as she dismounted, she immediately asked urgently.

Ying Feng's face was slightly pale, "Fortunately, since the entry of the army from outside the state, the main roads in various places have been blocked, and many people from other counties have gradually been repatriated to leave the state after they have recovered." ”

She let out a long sigh, "I've worked hard for you these days. ”

Hearing this, Shadow Wind felt a little guilty, "When I came to Feicheng Road before, my subordinates were derelict in their duties and failed to notice the dangers on the road, causing you to suffer from illness. ”

Lu Zhaoyi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Good and dignified, why are you talking about this?" ”

Seeing him kneeling, Gu Man hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, "Yes, you get up quickly, Qi Niang said that it was okay, and you were injured when you fought with them!" ”

"You guys, did you fight with the Qian Tang Gang?"
