The white-haired old man took the lead and signaled everyone not to cause trouble with his eyes.

And the Zhongzi Battalion will be here, and everyone doesn't care, because after last night's bloody battle, the soldiers of the Zhongzi Battalion still have some killer corpses, and it is also very normal to float on the river, so when they see the corpse, without any reminder, they don't know whose corpse it is.

The white-haired old man could only lead everyone to pretend to be stupid, hoping that Xuanyuan Ding'an's body would not be discovered by the people of the Zhongzi Battalion, so that they would not cause unnecessary trouble.

The big boat slowly crossed the river, and when it was about to reach the opposite side, Sima Mufeng came to the boat of Xuanyuan Ding'an before, followed by Youruo.

Both of them are martial arts masters, and they can tell at a glance who is fighting here.

Sima Mufeng looked at the dead lying on the ground, all of them were killed by poison in their bodies.

"Those who died of poisoning, these people are not considered to be good at cultivation, and they are even more powerful than the more than 300 killers who ambushed our Zhongzi battalion tonight."

Of course, the more than 300 killers tonight, at most, are the third-rate killers of Huanzhu Tower, they are the lowest level of the entire killer group, and they rushed over from all over the Great Liang Dynasty, just to ambush the officials and soldiers here, so as to have a chance to be promoted in Huanzhu Tower.

But what they didn't know was that Chen Sanjia was just treating them as cannon fodder and sacrificing them.

Therefore, the strength of these people is not very strong, but they just used a sneak attack to catch the soldiers of the Zhongzi battalion off guard.

And once the two masters Youruo and Sima Mufeng entered, the scene quickly reversed, and in this way, things became strange, who are these people? And who killed them?

Youruo nodded: "They were all poisoned by the same kind, and from the point of view of the way they made their moves, they were also done by the same master, who are these people?" ”

Sima Mufeng shook his head: "I don't know what happened at the scene, but I am sure that the master who made the move is not here." ”

Sima Mufeng's assertion was also agreed by Youruo.

"That's right, these people all have a steel claw in their hands, which means that they are the famous flying eagle killers in the rivers and lakes. This man, I've heard of it. ”

Youruo came to the leader's side and said: "This person should be the leader of the Flying Eagle Killer, with a ghost claw in one hand, it is rumored that he can take people's heads from a hundred meters away, and really come and go without a trace." ”

It can be seen that this person's skills are very good, but this also confirms from the side that the strength of the person who killed them is far above them.

Moreover, the man's methods, as well as the weapons used with poison, do not appear here. Therefore, it makes sense that Sima Mufeng deduced that the person was not at the scene.

Youruo asked again: "Does General Li know what kind of weapon this person is using?" ”

Sima Mufeng can be regarded as well-informed, he also followed the empress to fight in the south and the north back then, and his martial arts cultivation is not low, and his vision is naturally extraordinary.

He said: "I used to hear about a weapon in the army, called a cone of separation. This awl is highly poisonous and very powerful, but if you are not careful and fall into the plot of this weapon, there is no chance of survival. ”

"Leaving the cone? Are you talking about the Jiangyang thief Chen Baipo's detachment cone? ”

Chen Baipo is Xuanyuan Ding'an's previous name, and later Zhulou used the disguise technique to make his face look like it is now, and at the same time, his identity has also changed from the murderous Jiangyang thief to the current rich party, a big man in the Jiangnan business community, Xuanyuan Ding'an.

It's a pity that Xuanyuan Dingan himself didn't expect that he had worked hard in Jiangnan for so many years, and in the end, these subordinates would not pick up his body, but stayed away, not wanting to have anything to do with him.

This is the reality, no matter how those people treat you on weekdays, once it comes to life and death, when it is related to their own safety, they will change their ways to protect themselves.

Xuanyuan Ding'an's fate can be regarded as self-inflicted, no one knows Xuanyuan Ding'an's true identity, and only a few people know about his affairs in the Jiangnan Official Wine Association, the owner of Huanzhu Mansion knows, and Chen Sanjia also knows, as for the others, it is unknown.

Chen Sanjia will no longer deal with Xuanyuan Ding'an in the future, because a dead man has no use value.

After hearing this, Youruo was also very shocked, and he didn't expect that Chen Baipo would reappear in the rivers and lakes and kill so many people at once.

"The detachment cone is indeed a very terrifying existence in the hidden weapons, I heard that there is a weapon spectrum on the rivers and lakes, and this detachment cone can be ranked in the top ten."

"Yes, in the weapon spectrum, the ranking of the human cone is very high, and because it is also the only weapon in the top ten that is poisonous, it is also the most notorious weapon."

People in the rivers and lakes are actually very face-conscious, whether they are high or low in martial arts or status, they actually don't disdain to use drugs.

The people who use poison are basically not a kind of petty people, they are outlaws, the kind of people who do not care about their reputation at all, and these people have no one to treat them in the rivers and lakes.

And anyone who is a little famous and wants to save face will not use poison.

They are more willing to use their martial arts to make a name for themselves and make their weapons famous.

There are also many such people in the rivers and lakes.

So that's why none of the top 10 weapons use poison, because everyone thinks it's a very humiliating thing.

Sima Mufeng then thought, "Why don't you call that white-haired old man over and ask?" ”

Youruo felt that it was necessary.

It's not just about finding out what these merchant ships are doing.

If they are not serious businessmen, then they must be bound by the laws of Daliang, otherwise, wouldn't it be a mess? A merchant ship of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce actually fought and killed here, and it was lawless, what kind of system did this become.

Although they are not from the Criminal Department, both of them feel that this matter is in order, and they can't let them get away with it in a daze.

There must be a conclusion to this matter.

Then Sima Mufeng and Youruo came to the sixteenth ship and found the white-haired old man.

"Shangguan Xunyu, come out."

Shangguan Xunyu is also the name of the white-haired old man, this person is the vice president of the Jiangnan Official Liquor Association, and in addition to Xuanyuan Ding'an, he is the person with the most face in the Jiangnan Official Liquor Association, that is, the person with the most right to speak.

Because he is a good hand at accounting and financial management, Xuanyuan Dingan will take him with him every time he goes out to see if there is any useful place to know, but Xuanyuan Dingan also knows that this person is a very big threat to his status as the president, in other words, if he has any accidents, it must kill this person, otherwise, he will replace him.

Shangguan Xunyu knew many things about Xuanyuan Ding'an, which was also one of the main reasons why Xuanyuan Ding'an was not worried about him.

"Two generals, what's the matter?"

Shangguan Xunyu saw that something was wrong, so he asked.

Sima Mufeng and Youruo didn't tell him directly, but took him alone to the ship full of the killer's corpses just now.

As soon as Shangguan Xunyu saw this scene, his whole old face immediately drooped, he knew that this matter could not be contained, even if Xuanyuan Dingan was dead, as long as someone continued to investigate this matter, it would definitely be exposed.

Youruo stared at Shangguan Xunyu with her eyes and said, "President Shangguan, if there is anything, say it now, I can still cover it up for you, after all, I know that this matter has nothing to do with you." ”

As soon as Shangguan Xunyu heard this, he immediately had a little hope.

Youruo continued: "But if you don't say it, let Lord Zhou know in a while, but it won't be so easy to do." ”

After Youruo finished speaking, Shangguan Xunyu's face became even more embarrassed, and he nodded: "Lord Zhou's temper, the old man understands, I hope the two generals can see that I am frank and lenient, and don't let Lord Zhou embarrass me anymore." ”

Shangguan Xunyu just wants to return to Jiangnan safely now, and he doesn't want to worry about other things, after all, he is an old bone now, and he really can't move anymore, he just hopes to have a good home.

After Shangguan Xunyu finished speaking, the two old eyes looked at Youruo and Sima Mufeng pleadingly.

Sima Mufeng cleared his throat and said, "Then it depends on whether you have completely explained to President Shangguan, and whether there is anything to hide." ”

Shangguan Xunyu sighed and completely gave up struggling: "Don't worry, this time, the old decay will definitely be with you, and there will be no reservations." ”

Sima Mufeng and Youruo glanced at each other, feeling that this matter would soon be clarified.

Shangguan Xunyu looked at the corpses of the killer all over the ground, shook his head, found a corner, and squatted down, looking very lonely.

He said: "Actually, I have long doubted the identity of Xuanyuan Ding'an. He was a person who had no news at all in the Jiangnan business community before, and he didn't know that there was such a person in the business world. About 10 years ago, it suddenly came out of nowhere, you say, if a person has a status and a reputation in the business world, how can he suddenly seem to fall from the sky? So many people are suspicious of this. However, there seems to be a wall behind him, blocking him inside, and people outside can't find out his true identity at all. In Jiangnan, there are many theories about Xuanyuan Ding'an, one is that he is just a rich businessman who changed his name, maybe he was not called Xuanyuan Ding'an before, and he offended the powerful people in the court, and there was a conflict with the powerful in the middle of the court in terms of interests, so well, he was targeted, there was no way, he could only change his identity again, he may have done business in the capital before, and then he had no way, so he could only come to Jiangnan to develop. This is true. But there is a problem, even if this person was not called Xuanyuan Ding'an before, then he should have some clues, and his connections can be verified, indicating that he used to do serious business, but no, this person really can't be found out at all. ”

At the mention of serious business, Youruo couldn't help but laugh, he looked at Shangguan Xunyu and said:

"In the Jiangnan business world, how many people die every year, I believe you know better than anyone else, Chairman Shangguan, right?"

The Jiangnan business community is a place where interests are the core of competition, and there are hundreds of chambers of commerce all over the world, among which the Jiangnan Official Liquor Association, Jiangnan Salt Affairs, Jiangnan Tea Party, and Jiangnan Iron Association are the four cores.

The conflicts of interest involved in this are precisely because there are too many chambers of commerce, and there are more wolves and less meat, so the competition is naturally very fierce.

Every year, many of the core figures of the Chamber of Commerce suddenly disappear.

Therefore, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is also a notorious synonym.

Here, everything is for the sake of profit.

So it's not unusual for something to happen to the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

Xuanyuan Ding'an's identity is not surprising.

Shangguan Xunyu nodded: "I didn't care at first, after Xuanyuan Ding'an slowly gained momentum, because of the very great role of our Jiangnan Official Wine Association, the old man also turned a blind eye." However, this situation soon turned out to be wrong. ”

"What's wrong?" Sima Mufeng asked blankly.

Chen Xu continued: "For example, every year in the Jiangnan Official Liquor Association, at the end of the year, we will make an accounting statistics to see how much our entire Official Liquor Association earns, how much it spends, and how much money it makes in a year." And all these jobs are counted by the people recruited by Xuanyuan Ding'an. ”

Sima Mufeng also looked at each other, could it be that there was a problem with this account?

"Falsified accounts?"
