Volume 10 Chapter 95

Palace, study.

When Tang Yin came in, Yan Xi and others were eating refreshments brought by the palace maid. When they saw Tang Yin, the five of them stood up one after another. Tang Yin waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be polite.

Yan Xi looked him up and down. At this time, Tang Yin had put on black brocade clothes with dark red patterns embroidered on them. It was not eye-catching and looked very simple, but the fine material fully showed off Tang Yin's slender and straight figure.

"Does the food in the palace taste good?" Tang Yin asked casually, walked to the front of the cave, and slowly sat down.

"It's not bad to read the full text." Yan Xi was not polite.

The maid came forward and poured tea for Tang Yin. The latter picked up the cup and took two sips of tea absentmindedly.

Yan Xi wiped the corners of his mouth and asked seriously: "Your Majesty, I have a question to ask you."

Tang Yin said: "You say."

"Brother Hou went to fight for the position of alliance leader because he was ordered by the king, right?"

Tang Yin blinked and asked, "Do you think your Brother Hou is the kind of person who is willing to be controlled?"

of course not! Yan Xi blurted out in her heart. She pondered for a moment and said, "It may be difficult for others to control Big Brother Hou, but if the king does this, the situation will be different."

Tang Yin sighed softly and said: "I think Master Yan has misunderstood. You also saw that assassins are rampant today. It has reached the point of lawlessness in Feng Kingdom. They have to deal with not only me, but also all the ranger sects. Hou The reason why the sect leader is willing to compete for the alliance leader is to better unite the ranger sects and fight against the headwind."

Yan Xi asked: "That's it?"

"if not?"

"I thought the king wanted to control the Ranger gang." Yan Xi said calmly.

Tang Yin said sternly: "I have no interest in the Ranger gang at all. As long as it doesn't cause me any trouble, I won't interfere in the internal affairs of your Ranger gang."

Yan Xi stared at Tang Yin blankly for a while, then breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said this, I feel relieved."

Tang Yin changed the topic and asked: "How much does Master Yan know about Nifengliu?"

Yan Xi said: "Not many. However, I have seen people who go against the wind."

"Oh?" Tang Yin's eyes lit up.

Yan Xi said: "That was a month or two ago. They came to Shuramen to meet Brother Hou, but by then Brother Hou had gone to Anguo, and I received them. They did not say who they were. The gang members only said they were Ning Guo Rangers, hoping to form an alliance with Shura Sect. I, Shura Sect, have never formed alliances with other gangs. Knowing their intentions, I didn’t ask any questions and refused on the spot. Now that I think about it, those Ning Ren Rangers came. It should be someone who goes against the current.”

Tang Yin pondered for a moment and asked, "What are their names?"

Yan Xi thought for a while and said, "The leader calls himself Li Wan."

"Li Wan?" Tang Yin felt that the name sounded very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly remembered that Hong Ying had mentioned this person's name before. There are four gangs in Nifengliuxia, namely Chunfeng, Xiayu, Qiuye, and Dongshuang. Hong Ying is the deputy gang leader of Qiuye, and Li Wan is the gang leader of Dongshuang.

Tang Yin smiled leisurely and said: "I finally understand why the people in the headwind want to attack you." After a pause, he continued: "Although the rangers and the court have always been in harmony with each other, now we have a common enemy. , so we should cooperate more.”

Yan Xi said: "What the king said is reasonable. However, the king should provide me with more information about the headwind flow. This will also facilitate our investigation."

Tang Yin nodded, thinking what she said made sense. He turned to look at Ah San and Ah Si at the door, and said, "Come over to Cheng Jin."

Hong Ying can be regarded as an important informant placed by Tang Yin inside Nifengliu. The person who maintains contact with Hong Ying has always been secretly. Cheng Jin has much more information about Nifengliu's situation than he does.

Not long after, Ah San and Ah Si found Cheng Jin over.

When Cheng Jin entered the study, Tang Yin said bluntly: "Tell Master Yan all the information you know about Nifengliu." Tang Yin felt that to deal with such a secret organization as Nifengliu, he had to rely on the Ranger gang. After all, the court was there. It is clear that Nifengliu is hiding, and every move of the court may be under the control of Nifengliu, but the Ranger gang is different. If Yan Xi is willing to organize all the power of the Shura Sect to investigate, it will definitely be much more efficient than the court.

Cheng Jin asked uncertainly: "All of them?"

Tang Yin said without thinking: "Of course."

Cheng Jin nodded and said, "Yes! Your Majesty!" As he spoke, he walked up to Yan Xi and began to tell him the information he had learned about Nifengliu. Not all of the information Cheng Jin received came from Hong Ying, some of it was the result of secret investigations by secret agents.

The upwind flow system was complex and cumbersome to talk about. Tang Yin listened for a while and found it boring. He stood up and said to Cheng Jin and Yan Xi, "You guys continue talking. I have something else to do, so I'll go ahead." After that, he stood up and said to Cheng Jin and Yan Xi. , without waiting for Cheng Jin and Yan Xi to react, Tang Yin walked out of the study without looking back.

Seeing this, Yan Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at Cheng Jin questioningly. The latter sighed softly and explained: "The king must be worried about Yuan Wu's injury."

Yan Xi thought for a while, nodded in understanding, and asked curiously: "The relationship between the king and you seems to be very deep?"

Cheng Jin said: "Your Majesty treats me as a brother."

This is not the same as the rumors. The rumors Yan Xi had heard about Tang Yin were nothing more than cold-blooded, unfeeling, and belligerent, which had drawn Feng Guo into an endless whirlpool of war. Of course, the rangers didn't have a good impression of the imperial court, and they couldn't expect to get any good words out of their mouths.

Yan Xi reached into his arms, took out a small porcelain bottle, and said, "I have my secret gold medicine, which may be of some help."

Cheng Jin stood up hurriedly and thanked him repeatedly as he took it. As one of the largest gangs in the Feng Kingdom, Shuramen's medicine must also be of the highest quality.

Tang Yin left the study, went to the backyard, and walked around the rooms of the four wives, Wu Mei, Fan Min, Yuan Qianyi, and Xiao Na.

He just sat in each lady's room for a while, and it was already evening. When it was time to have dinner, Cheng Jin found Tang Yin and reported the good news to him. Shangguan Yuanwu had finally been rescued. At the same time, he also He specifically mentioned that the medicine Yan Xi gave him was very effective.

Cheng Jin didn't know whether Shuramen's medicine had an effect. In short, Shangguan Yuanwu escaped from danger smoothly, which was the most important thing.

When Tang Yin heard the news, his spirits were greatly boosted. He immediately put down his bowls and chopsticks and went to visit Shangguan Yuanwu.

When he arrived, Shangguan Yuanwu was sleeping, his face was pale, and he was lying motionless on the bed, but his breath was no longer as weak as when he was first rescued. Seeing him out of danger with his own eyes, Tang Yin finally felt relieved. He asked Cheng Jin, "Where is Yan Xi? I have to thank her heavily!"

Cheng Jin said: "Master Yan is gone."

"gone?"

"Yes, but Master Yan has not left the capital for the time being. She said that she is going to assist the Lieutenant's Mansion and uncover the assassins placed in the capital by Nifengliu."

Tang Yin smiled and said, "I didn't expect that she would help us."

Cheng Jin shrugged and said, "I have said the same thing. She said she was rescued by the king today and she owed the king a favor. Finding the assassin of Nifengliu can be regarded as repaying the favor."

Tang Yin first shook his head, then nodded, and said, "That's fine. With Yan Xi's help, the Lieutenant's Mansion will be better off."

Cheng Jin was silent for a moment, then asked: "If the Lieutenant's Mansion fails to detect the assassin within three days, does the king really want to execute Gu's uncle and nephew?"

Tang Yin looked at Cheng Jin strangely and said: "The imperial court is now in the midst of employing people, how can it execute ministers so easily? However, it is still necessary to give them a proper lesson to prevent the Lieutenant's Mansion from becoming too arrogant."

Cheng Jin exclaimed, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Tang Yin believed that it was impossible for the Lieutenant's Mansion to detect the assassin within three days. Even with Yan Xi's assistance, three days was too short. But in fact, the Lieutenant's Mansion did not take three days at all, and received news of the assassin that night.

Gu Chong is a veteran nobleman of the Feng Kingdom. Although his abilities are very mediocre, he is honest and honest, and he has no ambitions and ambitions. Perhaps because of this, he was not affected when the monarchs of the Feng Kingdom changed many times.

After Tang Yin took office, he needed someone who was familiar with Yancheng to serve as a lieutenant. To put it bluntly, a lieutenant was equivalent to the capital's security commander. There were many choices, and Tang Yin chose Gu Chong. As Gu Chong's nephew, Gu Chen was born into a noble family and had a wealthy family. He had been fond of spiritual martial arts since he was a child and had a very high talent. In addition, he was also keen on making friends. Regardless of whether the other person was born high or low, as long as he had the same temperament, he would He sincerely accepts Gu Chen, despite his arrogant temperament, but he is extremely generous with his money and spends a lot of money, so he has made many friends. In Yancheng, he has friends from the rich and powerful to the three religious circles.

In the matter of investigating the assassin, Gu Chen used all the contacts he had cultivated over the years, and mobilized almost all the gangsters and gangsters in the city to track down the assassin's whereabouts. This was a network.

That night, as Gu Chen was getting ready to go to bed, a gangster leader with considerable influence in Yancheng came to his door and said that he had found a group of Ning people who knew Lingwu very suspiciously. These people rented a small house in his territory. , never go out during the day, and only in the evening will one or two people come out to buy food, vegetables, daily necessities, etc.

But today, these Ning people went out surprisingly early in the morning and didn't come back until the afternoon, and they came back less than an hour later than the time Tang Yin was assassinated.

After listening to the ruffian leader's story, Gu Chen's heart moved. It sounded like these Ning people were really weird. Even if they were not assassins, such mysterious ten-year-olds were not good people. After thinking about it, he casually took out two silver ingots and gave them to the gangster leader, and asked him to go with him to the Lieutenant's Mansion.

The gangster leader knew that Gu Chen was generous and would not treat him badly when working for him. He accepted the money and followed Gu Chen to the Lieutenant's Mansion.
