The thousand households under Liu Erqi led people to shoot arrows out of the building in that direction, turning it upside down.

As Chen Kan expected, there was no gain.

Looking at his somewhat ashamed subordinates, Chen Kan didn't say much.

I don't know the other party's appearance, I don't know the other party's dress, and I didn't get to the scene of the crime in the first time, so I can find clues before I can have a ghost.

"Alright, let's go back."

Chen Kan changed his horse and continued to walk towards the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses.

Halfway through, I happened to meet Shi Wen, Zhang Yong, Yao Chi and others who learned the news of Chen Kan's assassination and brought people to support.

After learning that the Assassin Liu Erqi had failed to apprehend the Assassin, all three were annoyed.

Shi Wen said coldly: "Lao Liu, if you are not qualified to be the commander of the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses, I advise you to abdicate as soon as possible to make way for Xian." ”

"A dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth."

failed to catch the assassins, and Liu Erqi was in no mood to quarrel with them.

replied casually and said no more.

When the group returned to the Nancheng Terracotta Division, Chen Kan saw that Xu Yuan, who was recuperating in the Anren Pharmacy, had returned, and couldn't help frowning: "Why don't you recuperate in the Pharmacy." ”

Xu Yuan sat on a wooden wheelchair and arched his hand: "The subordinates are fine, I heard that the adult was assassinated on the road, what was the result?" ”

Without waiting for Chen Kan to answer, Shi Wen said angrily: "What else can there be, Lao Liu, this guy, let the assassin go." ”

"You ......"

Liu Erqi was not angry.

Chen Kan said: "It's a professional assassin, and if you miss a hit, you will escape thousands of miles, I suspect that someone bought a murderer." ”

Hearing this, Xu Yuan's face became solemn.

"Do you have any suspicions?"

Chen Kan slowly shook his head and said, "No." ”

He doesn't have many enemies, just a few of them, Ji Gang, Zhang Xin, and Zhu Jixi.

Ji Gang and Zhang Xin themselves are powerful figures, and there are countless dead people in the mansion.

If you want to kill Chen Kan, you can directly send a dead soldier to kill Chen Kan with one blow, and there is no need to use such a high-risk method.

And Zhu Jixi, his whole family was imprisoned in a pigsty by Zhu Jihuang, and it is difficult to say whether Zhu Jixi himself is dead or alive now, let alone hiring assassins.

There was also an important factor, his intuition told him that the murderer was not these three people, but someone else.

Chen Kan has always trusted his instincts very much.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Kan muttered, "What kind of assassin organizations are there among the people?" ”

"Adults are suspicious ......"

Xu Yuan also seemed to have something in mind.

"There are quite a few civilian assassin killer organizations, but most of them are just petty fights and dare to do things to officials......"

"White Lotus Sect!"

Several people present said one name at the same time.

Xu Yuan groaned: "The civil killer organizations that dare to attack officials and are not afraid of retaliation, in addition to the White Lotus Sect, only the Ming Sect and the Maitreya Sect remain. ”

"When the great grandfather founded the country, he strangled the Mingjiao disciples on a large scale, and after the Mingjiao was greatly injured, he hid in the wilderness, and it was too late to hide, let alone send assassins to infiltrate the capital to assassinate the court officials."

"The Maitreya Sect, since it gradually merged with the White Lotus Sect, has declined, and now it has become a vassal of the White Lotus Sect."

Chen Kan nodded, if it was the White Lotus Sect, it would not be strange.

This Buddhist organization, founded since the Tang Dynasty, is nominally affiliated with the Pure Land sect of Buddhism.

As a matter of fact, the doctrine has been distorted by its successive religious leaders, and the entire religion has degenerated into a cult organization that demagogues people's minds, misleads the people with fallacies, and fools the people.

There are all kinds of heresies and troubled times in the church, including the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and basically every peasant uprising is inseparable from this sect.

And this sect is not only good at playing with people's hearts, but also more killers, bandits, and bodhisattvas in the flesh among its members, who often regard the laws of the court as nothing.

In a different place, if Chen Kan wants to buy murder, the best choice is also the White Lotus Sect.

Then follow this line of thought!

"What kind of person would pay the White Lotus Sect to kill someone?"

As soon as Chen Kan said this, several people looked at each other.

Ordinary people can't find the White Lotus Sect, and those who hold a lot of power don't.

What counts as a person with a lot of power?

Shi Wen gave the answer: "If your subordinates want to kill people, you only need to send a few loyal captains, the people of the White Lotus Sect, I don't trust them." ”

Shi Wen holds two thousand households in his hands, so he is naturally a person with a lot of power.

Ordinary people don't need to hire someone to assassinate Chen Kan.

Chen Kan came to Daming and did not offend the people.

Chen Kan's attitude towards the people is the same as that of Lao Zhu, he can only protect, not harm.

"This person must be high, but he is light, and he has a great enmity with you."

Xu Yuan gave a definite sentence, and immediately narrowed the scope of the main messenger behind the scenes to a range.

"It may not be high, but the identity must be the same!"

Chen Kan summed up, and then thought hard, when did he offend such a person?

Wu Lun this morning is one, but he shouldn't be so fast, he just finished humiliating him, and he was assassinated when he went out, did he call directly?

Exclude!

Zhao Xuan and Feng Lan, the outsider, have no mortal enmity with themselves, at most they are a little conflict, and they should not invite someone to kill them.

Can be ruled out!

Who else is there?

Is it because of his sudden rise that he blocked anyone's path to promotion?

Probably not.

Chen Kan's position, the position of the commander of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, is not a permanent position in the court, and there is no competition with anyone.

In short, the assassination came very unjustifiably.

If you can't think of it, you won't want to think about it for the time being.

If the Assassin fails to attack the first time, he will inevitably strike a second time.

Chen Kan muttered, "Do you all know the strongholds of the White Lotus Sect and other killer organizations in the Jingshi? ”

Zhang Yongdao: "Lord Hui, you know, they are originally dependent on the Five Cities Terracotta Division to survive, and a large part of the income of the Five Cities Terracotta Division comes from this. ”

Xu Yuandao: "When his subordinates were in Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei also had this kind of gray income that could not be made public. ”

"Mobilize the men immediately and ask them to go to prison."

"The code name of this operation, sweeping away the evil and eliminating evil!"

Arresting people naturally doesn't need Chen Kan to take action personally.

Chen Kan gave an order, and the huge yamen of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division quickly began to operate.

Whether it is Shi Wen or Zhang Yong, they are all old fritters who have been mixed in Beijing all year round.

What kind of fox city rat club does Jingshi have, they know better than Chen Kan.

In one afternoon, the people found that there were many more captains in flying fish suits and holding water and fire sticks in the Beijing Division.

But these people are different from Jinyiwei, they will not break into people's homes casually.

On the contrary, he showed no mercy to those who were sloppy rangers.

Street tyrants, village tyrants, and others who bullied their neighbors have been taken down, and the base areas of some lawless organizations have suffered a catastrophe.
