Sure enough, Chen Xu had a sad face: "In the past ten years, there are data in the accounts of each year, and these data are all traceable, orderly and orderly, and there is no problem." But the strange thing is that every year these people die for no apparent reason. ”

"Who died?"

"It's those people who make statistics, every time we wait for our official liquor association to report all the accounts, they will inexplicably evaporate from the world, don't you think this kind of thing is strange?"

Youruo was puzzled: "I think, your Jiangnan Official Liquor Association won't be so stupid as to let Xuanyuan Ding'an decide everything, right?" Didn't you notice something wrong and investigate him thoroughly? ”

Shangguan Xunyu nodded: "Investigation is definitely inevitable, but Xuanyuan Ding'an is very domineering, and he basically says the same thing within the Chamber of Commerce, if anyone dares to question him, hey, the end will be the same as those accounting personnel." ”

"Don't you dare to secretly report to the officials, so many people are eliminated every year, so you don't know if the government will check their lives or deaths?"

Shangguan Xunyu had a headache on his face: "It's not that we don't look for it, I've thought about these methods, but they don't work, you think about it first, Xuanyuan Ding'an can go from a lonely and unknown person to suddenly become the president of the Jiangnan Official Liquor Association in just ten years, can the power in this officialdom be underestimated?" He must also have a lot of backers in the officialdom, so he can make these cases sink into the sea again and again. ”

Youruo was a little angry: "Since you already knew that Xuanyuan Ding'an was wrong, why didn't you report to the court early, isn't this a matter of raising tigers?" ”

Shangguan Xunyu was also helpless: "The general doesn't know, in fact, in the entire Jiangnan liquor industry, many businesses can only be done by Xuanyuan Ding'an's nod, and tens of thousands of people's jobs are in his hands, you say, if I have a stiff fight with him, not only will the brothers' jobs not be saved, but with his thunderous means, it will be difficult to protect my life!" ”

Shangguan Xunyu has followed Xuanyuan Ding'an all these years, on the surface, he is afraid of his majesty and methods, but in fact, there is a very important reason, that is, Xuanyuan Ding'an's maneuvering skills are really unusual.

He is the kind of person who practices both sticks and candies at the same time, and for those who disobey him, he will quietly do it, or use all kinds of means to master their handles.

And an honest person like Shangguan Xunyu is also a lot older, and he still has the skill of settling accounts in his hands, basically the only threat to himself from this kind of person is that if he dies, he is likely to become the new president, but in other aspects, there is really no big threat, so Xuanyuan Ding'an For this kind of person, he uses more rewards.

Shangguan Xunyu has received more year-end dividends over the years than he has received in the past half of his life, and the biggest characteristic of Xuanyuan Ding'an is that he is not greedy for money.

He was willing to give the money to everyone.

It is precisely for this reason that in the past ten years, Xuanyuan Ding'an has basically not had too many people oppose him in the Jiangnan Official Wine Association.

This is also an important reason why he has been able to get to where he is today.

If he is the kind of small-bellied chicken intestines, who cares about everything and does not pull out a hairy iron rooster to his subordinates, then he will definitely not be able to reach today's status.

Shangguan Xunyu didn't poke this matter out, and he didn't want Youruo and Sima Mufeng to feel that he had interests tied up with Xuanyuan Ding'an, because judging from the current situation, Xuanyuan Ding'an's crime was very serious.

Youruo then returned to the corpses in this cabin, she pointed to the corpses on the ground and said, "These killers were all found by Xuanyuan Ding'an?" What is he looking for a killer for? Is it to deal with the imperial court's grain brigade. ”

These words were like a thunderbolt, slashing at Shangguan Xunyu's head.

He was so frightened that he hurriedly got up from the ground and said, "General, this matter, the old man really doesn't know about it!" ”

Sima Mufeng saw that he was not honest, and began to use coercion and temptation again:

"President Shangguan, our Lord Zhou's tolerance for you has reached the limit, last night's bloody battle, how serious the losses of our grain brigade were, naturally I don't need to say more, our Lord Zhou is under great pressure now, if the matter cannot be resolved satisfactorily, I'm afraid, it's not a good thing for you, for the entire Jiangnan Official Wine Association, whether you more than 500 people return to Jiangnan along the way, or whether you follow us and escort them to the prison in Winter Rin City, it depends on your performance."

These words scared Shangguan Xunyu's old life, he never thought that there would be so many outrageous things when he came out with Xuanyuan Ding'an this time.

First of all, the first thing is that all the backbones of the entire Jiangnan Official Wine Association have been brought out by Xuanyuan Ding'an.

Then he suddenly said that he would dock here in Yunjiang and wait until dawn the next day to leave.

The third thing is that the officers and soldiers who were suddenly carrying grain were attacked by hundreds of killers, and they suffered heavy casualties.

The fourth thing is even more outrageous, why are there killers dying here on this ship?

These outrageous things are all connected, and Shangguan Xunyu can probably guess that they have a close relationship with Xuanyuan Ding'an.

It can only be said that he thinks he is unlucky.

If he wants to clear up the relationship now, if he doesn't know it at all, the final outcome is what Sima Mufeng said, he was taken to the prison in Dongrin City and detained, how long he was detained, this may depend on the investigation time of the imperial court. Months at least, years at most.

In this way, if he wants to return to Jiangnan alive, it will become an impossible luxury.

The old guy now knows that he regrets it, and he reported to the official when he knew about it, accusing Xuanyuan Dingan of killing the accountant of the Jiangnan Official Liquor Association, and was not tempted by his sugar-coated cannonballs.

But now regret is useless

He closed his eyes and said, "Two generals, in fact, I only know a little bit about this, what I said is not right, don't blame it!" ”

Sima Mufeng said with a pipe cavity: "Say, as long as there are any clues, I believe that they are very important clues for your Jiangnan Official Wine Association." ”

Shangguan Xunyu nodded: "Before we set off at that time, Lao Yu was indeed in the Yingzhou shop of the Jiangnan Official Liquor Association, and I heard about one thing, that is, Xuanyuan Ding'an asked people to transfer a group of people from Yingzhou. ”

"What are you doing when you were transferred from Yingzhou?"

"Yes, there is something for them to complete."

Youruo asked, "Who are these people?" ”

Shangguan Xunyu said: "These people, to put it bluntly, are some outlaws who have made enemies on the rivers and lakes and dare not show their faces, they are generally raised by rich people, and once there is something to do for them, they will pay for it." Generally, like the presidents of various chambers of commerce, there will be a practice of raising killers. ”

With these words, Shangguan Xunyu also felt that this matter was very outrageous, and Sima Mufeng and Youruo's expressions suddenly changed.

"You people who do business are really good things!"

Shangguan Xunyu lowered his head: "My lord, these killers, I guess they were brought over by Xuanyuan Ding'an, arranged to look like a crew, in fact, I don't know what they do, but one thing I can be sure of is that last night, there was a person who quietly got on the boat, this person, according to the introduction of the guys around me who know martial arts, his skills are unfathomable." I think that person may have something to do with the death of these killers. ”

Sima Mufeng and Youruo listened to these things, and felt that the whole thing needed to be circled by Xuanyuan Ding'an, otherwise, the whole thing would not make sense.

So Youruo looked at Shangguan Xunyu: "President Shangguan, let me ask again, where is Xuanyuan Ding'an now?" ”

When Shangguan Xunyu heard this, he said hesitantly: "Well, he's dead." ”

"Dead? When? Sima Mufeng and Youruo were very surprised.

First, Xuanyuan Ding'an's status in the Jiangnan Official Liquor Association is very high, how could he die without any movement?

Second, among these people at the scene, there was no body of Xuanyuan Ding'an.

Shangguan Xunyu said: "When we were sailing just now, our people found a corpse on the river, and some people recognized it as Xuanyuan Ding'an. Because I was worried that you would think that we had killed Xuanyuan Ding'an, there was no publicity. ”

After Shangguan Xunyu said this, he also felt that he was at a loss, and lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Sima Mufeng and Youruo.

Youruo said: "You are really enough, you don't even know to report the death of your own president." ”

Shangguan Xunyu didn't talk.

Sima Mufeng and Youruo have basically figured out their thoughts now, it should be the master who got on the ship in Shangguan Xunyu's mouth just now, including the death of Xuanyuan Ding'an, and the death of more than a dozen killers, I am afraid that it was all done by that person.

It is not easy to find out about this matter now, after all, Xuanyuan is dead, there is no proof of death, and it is impossible to ask for any clues from it.

"Two generals, if there is nothing to do, the old man will return to the ship first."

Shangguan Xunyu didn't dare to stay in this cabin anymore, after all, there were more than a dozen corpses here, and their deaths were very tragic, and they should have been poisoned to death.

Youruo nodded: "Okay, you go back to the sixteenth ship first, and by the way, ask everyone, if you have any clues, do you have to provide me with any clues in time, only in this way can you return your innocence!" ”

If this is reasonable, if the more than 500 people in the Jiangnan Official Liquor Association can't clear their suspicions, then they must not be let go casually, and if they are not related to the killer, if they are released rashly, it will definitely not be equivalent to letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

"Yes, the old man will definitely cooperate!"

Shangguan Xunyu wiped his sweat and prepared to leave.

At this time, a soldier came to report:

"Report to General Li, General Youruo, when we were cleaning up the killer's body, we found that one of the killers still had some breath, and then we took them to the ship together, and now after the treatment of the military doctor, his condition has improved, do you two want to go over and have a look?"

This is a very important clue, and Yu Ruo quickly said: "Yes, let's go over now, you go to Lord Zhou, let him come to this ship, and say that there is an emergency." ”

"Yes, go right away."

After the soldier left, Sima Mufeng and Youruo hurriedly took a small boat and came to the tenth ship, which was now controlled by the officers and soldiers, and on the deck, there was a man in a black night suit, his hands were bound by shackles, and his body was full of injuries.

This person is what the soldier just said, the killer who survived.

I saw that his breath was weak, but his eyes were sharp, and he was a well-trained killer.

The surrounding soldiers did not dare to approach him, although this person's hands had been fixed by shackles, and without weapons, he could not pose any threat, but the heart of defense was indispensable, and he still had to be careful, otherwise he would die if he bit him back.

Last night, these more than 300 killers had too much impact on them, and they can only be described as terrifying.

Youruo was holding a flame gun, and Sima Mufeng was holding a big knife, and the momentum of the two was very strong.

However, they have not yet started the interrogation, but are waiting for a person.
