When he came to the courtyard wall, Yan Wanli flipped through the account book again and said: "The things recorded in the account book are true, and everything is true. Most of the officials involved in the case know each other. If the emperor obtains this account book, the officialdom of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guizhou and Shaanxi will be turned upside down and shaken like a great earthquake, and countless people will be bloodied, or their heads will fall to the ground, or they will be exiled, or they will be confiscated, or they will be reduced to official slaves...... But all this because of me, will not happen, and this is the end of it. One of the wisest things that Lord Xu Zhiming has done in his life is to trust and reuse me, so he can rest easy!"

Obedient to the voice, gongs and drums to listen to the sound, Yan Wanli's words above made Shen Tianpeng and the others suddenly feel the sudden change in the situation, like being killed by thunder, and they were extremely shocked. Everyone is longing, confused, confused, dazed, and at a loss. Especially Shen Tianpeng, as if someone had punched him in the chest, he trembled a little, and asked tremblingly: "Lord Yan, are you...... You..... What are you talking about? You're an official of my criminal department, someone I trust and rely on, aren't you kidding?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Shen, I'm no longer the Yan Wanli you used to know. Just as Deng Erheng said, officialdom is dark and sinister, especially Yunnan officialdom, which is even more dark and sinister, I am a low-class official, and it is difficult to hold up alone, how can I be alone? On the ground in Yunnan, whoever is not used by Lord Xu will have a good end? Deng Erheng is an example, he is a noble political historian, a second-class member of the court, and he was promoted to governor, but he still died unexpectedly, and I am a small Qing official and a foreign officer, from the five grades, how can I dare to be an enemy of Lord Xu? Even if I don't plan for myself, I have to think about the safety of my family. Lord Shen, forgive the official for saying bluntly: I have always respected Lord Shen, Lord Yue and others for their dealings, if there is no hardship, the situation is compelling, the arrow is on the string, I have to send it, I will never be the enemy of all the adults. The situation here and now is dangerous, if you and I can't predict the reversal, please Lord Shen and other adults, hurry up and take the Deng family and everyone to leave Yungui as soon as possible, so as not to be killed again. That's all the officials say, and there is no more to say. Farewell!" Yan Wanli finished speaking, and was about to leave.

"We must not let this guy go!" Yue Haikun said angrily.

Everyone also had this thought, and was about to make a move, when outside the spacious courtyard wall, someone suddenly shouted:

"Who said that? Who can get out of the inn alive without the permission of this seat today?" In an instant, more than a dozen masked black-clothed people crossed the wall and stood on both sides of Yan Wanli. When Yan Wanli heard this, he turned around and bowed to the person with the gold bat and silver bat patterns on his left chest: "My subordinates pay homage to the chief envoy, meet the deputy envoy, and meet all the senior brothers and brothers. ”

The chief envoy arrogantly mocked Yan Wanli: "Your old man is quite good at being a man, and you can't be offended if you are flattering and selling on both sides. If I let Lord Xu know, I will definitely praise you for your shrewdness and ability, and I will learn from you!"

As soon as Yan Wanli heard this, he immediately knelt down in fear and said: "If your subordinates are at fault, please punish your lord! Yan Wanli knew how Xu Zhiming would severely punish the disloyal in the organization. was cut off by hands and feet, and the heart was still in the second place, and the most unbearable thing was the pain of Gu poison, like ten thousand ants biting their bodies and gnawing bones, itching and painful. Yan Wanli once saw a killer who made a mistake because of his carelessness, and after being poisoned by Xu Zhiming, he tore his own flesh and blood alive, drank his hair and blood, and then cut off his legs with a knife, and then killed himself by the neck, and his head flew to death.

"Got the books?" The Messenger asked.

Yan Wanli, who was kneeling, immediately presented the account book with both hands: "The subordinates finally lived up to the trust of the leader and the chief envoy, and got the account book, and now I respectfully present it to the chief envoy!"

The chief envoy took the account book and flipped through it, and said, "But you have not killed him alone, and you will never suffer again." ”

"The subordinates are incompetent, just because he is too vigilant, and his martial arts are far superior to his subordinates, and it is extremely difficult for his subordinates to start, so they have to save their lives, and wait for the opportunity to get the account books, and then find other ways to continue to complete the mission...... This is the truth, and I ask the Lord to be aware of it. ”

"Get up! The leader, Lord Xu, has an order: 'The lynx will return immediately, and another important task will be appointed, and there shall be no delay or delay. ’”

Only then did Yan Wanli relax and respond: "The lynx obeys the order! Thank you for the grace of the Lord for not punishing!" It turned out that Yan Wanli was Xu Zhiming's undercover agent planted in the Criminal Department, codenamed 'Lynx'. Therefore, Shen Tianpeng and the others entered the whereabouts of Yungui, and Xu Zhiming was completely aware of it. The "Tianxiang Restaurant" by the Dianchi Lake in Kunshu held a banquet, and the one who poisoned Shen Tianpeng and others was what Yan Wanli did on the orders of the Lord.

This master is also cunning and shrewd, before, in addition to sending people to harass Beimen Yunfei and others from time to time, he has been secretly following Shen Tianpeng and others. It wasn't until the secret account of the Deng family's aunt and nephew surfaced that Yan Wanli easily gained control for the 'Lynx' that he appeared.

The chief envoy then handed the account book to the deputy commander of the silver bat on his chest, and instructed: "This account book is an extraordinary thing, and you know it, you don't need me to repeat it, I still have something to do here, you will keep the account book, and immediately return to Yunnan with the 'Lynx', and hand it over to Lord Xu in person, and there is no room for any mistakes." ”

"The subordinates obey the orders of the Lord!" After that, the deputy commander of the silver bat on his chest made Yan Wanli, and flew over the wall and flew away.
