My lady, I'm going to rebel.

At the same time, the four generals' mansions were all in a state of rage. In this city of Tuwei, although the four generals' mansions were in a competitive relationship, to put it bluntly, competition was also based on cooperation.

After all, only those who are of the same blood can keep each other warm.

Therefore, Gan's death not only angered the Dian family, but also the other families. Daring to assassinate a direct descendant of the General's Mansion? Isn't this a challenge to the authority of the four major families?

"Are you sure it was done by a spy?"

"Judging from the cause of death, Gan was killed by someone he knew."

"Are you sure it has nothing to do with Pawnshop No. 18?"

"Not sure! But it's probably okay."

The four major families of wind, fire, thunder and lightning gathered together. After hearing the words of the head of the Dian family, everyone fell silent.

"So what are you going to do?"

"Investigate thoroughly, even if we have to turn the entire Acropolis upside down, we'll find the murderer."

"No!"

As soon as the head of the Dian family finished speaking, someone raised an objection.

"The Huyang family's special forces haven't left yet. If we make a big fuss and cause them to be dissatisfied, it will probably be more trouble than it's worth." The person who spoke was the head of the Feng family.

"Aren't you going to investigate? Humph, they are just two little brats from the Huyang family. So what if they have special identities? The Han people have a saying that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake." The head of the Dian family snorted coldly.

"Having said that, the Han people also have a saying, 'It's better to be safe than sorry.' The layout of the four generals' mansions has been completed, and all that's left is the finishing touch. If everyone's secrets are leaked because of a Gan, your Dian family cannot bear the responsibility." The head of the Huo family also stood up.

"Then tell me, what should we do next?" How could the head of the Dian family not know this, but he just couldn't swallow this tone.

"The dignity of the Four Generals' Mansion cannot be lost, so the murderer must die. I suggest that we let the city defense forces help us with the investigation, after all, this is their duty. Besides, aren't we helping Yang Walu find a woman? We can look for clues under the pretext of helping him find someone, and even if the two little kids of the Yang family feel disturbed, their anger will not be directed at us." The head of the Lei family gave his final suggestion.

"Well! I think it's feasible!" The proposal of the head of the Lei family was approved by everyone. After thinking about it, the head of the Dian family had no choice but to compromise.

Soon, Acropolis became tense again.

Maodun family.

Yang Diela lazily leaned on the fur couch. Beside her, Yang Walu was shaking her arm. "Sister, did you really see who killed Gan'er?"

"Of course!" Yang Diela pulled her arm free. "I was going to look for you, and I ran into you halfway."

"Then tell the four generals' offices about your man's appearance." Yang Walu said.

"Why should we tell them? What does the death of their people have to do with us? Besides, the more chaotic they are, the better off we will be." Yang Diela said with a smile.

Yang Walu was speechless, then scratched his head. He didn't quite understand these family affairs; they were too complicated, and nothing compared to playing with women.

Speaking of playing with women, he thought of the tall, strong man again.

So angry!

He thought Mu Zheng would stay in Yanchun Tower all night, but he ran away after only an hour.

Useless man, doesn't he know how many times to come again?

What a waste of his gem.

"That man was very decisive and skillful. If I can use him, he will definitely be a great help." Yang Diela was still thinking about the young man. After all, anyone who dared to take action in Acropolis was courageous, and she admired courageous people the most.

"There are many brave men. How can there be any cowards among the men of the Xiongnu Empire?" Yang Walu curled his lips and said, "I want to find that Central Plains woman as soon as possible and let her see the masculinity of Xiongnu men."

Yang Diela's face pulled down: "Yang Walu, I'll give you one more month at most. If you don't come back, I'll break your legs."

Yang Walu groaned, and then the light in his eyes faded: "One month is just one month. I don't believe I can't find that woman!"

……

At this time, Mu Zheng and Li Lian were staring at each other.

"My goodness, I told you that women are troublemakers. How long have you followed that woman to the inner city? And you directly killed a direct descendant of one of the four generals' mansions." Li Lian was really convinced.

"In life, be careful with what you say and do!" Mu Zheng did not answer Li Lian, but Li Cheng gave Li Lian a warning look.

"Why did you go to Yanchun Tower? If Old Sparrow hadn't found you, you probably wouldn't even have a place to live." Mu Zheng didn't want to discuss the matter of killing Gan's body, so he changed the subject.

"How could you have no place to live? I thought since you guys have been in the city for so long, there must be some movement. As soon as I asked around, I found out about Yanchunlou. If Old Sparrow hadn't discovered me, I would definitely have been able to get information about you from your new lover." Li Lian shook his hair complacently.

"Uh!" Mu Zheng was silent for a moment before he said, "I don't have a lover. I'm Liu Xiahui!"

Try not to let some things get to Yunniang's ears.

Because of Li Lian's arrival, Li Cheng asked him to work as a killer at Pawnshop No. 18. Li Lian was delighted when he heard this, after all, killing Huns was a gene etched in the bones of every Han Chinese.

On the way, Li Lian told Mu Zheng about some recent situations in the outer city.

"We've finally gotten some clues about the Beijing Drifters you asked us to investigate. An old man who just returned from the east said he encountered a caravan on the road, and his description of it was a bit like the Beijing Drifters. He said the caravan's destination was Tucheng. So I figured, instead of looking for a needle in a haystack, we might as well just sit back and wait."

"Are you sure that's Han Zi and his caravan?" Mu Zheng felt strange. After all, Tuwei City was not a trading city. Apart from caravans like theirs who came here specifically, other caravans would not come.

"Whether it is true or not, you'll know when you see it." Li Lian said casually.

Mu Zheng thought about it and said nothing more.

At this time, Li Lian mentioned the assassination of the four generals' mansions.

"Speaking of this, I have an idea." Li Lian stroked his chin and said, "Look, whether it's Haiqu, Xiangdao, Juxian, or Lanling, if we want to inflict damage on the enemy, we must first have a force of our own. I think that if we really want to destroy the four generals' mansions, killing them one by one probably won't work."

"What do you mean?" Mu Zheng asked.

"After spending a few days here, it's clear that the Xiongnu have a more obvious problem than the Central Plains: class conflict." Li Lian grinned and said, "It's the conflict between the lower class and the upper class. Among the lower class, there are many brave people who want to overthrow the upper class. Therefore, it's best for us to cultivate our own power, and our focus should be on these lower class people."

"Well, that makes sense. But the class concept here is so deep-rooted. How can we convince the lower class to dare to resist?" Mu Zheng asked again.

"Yes, this is a bit difficult to implement. After all, it is not easy to get everyone to break the inherent cognition that has existed for hundreds of years. During this period of time, we should try our best to find ways to stimulate the conflict between the two sides. If there is chaos on their side, our people on the border can live better, right?" Li Lian said.

"Okay!" Mu Zheng was pondering Li Lian's words. The Xiongnu had always been a thorn in the side of the Central Plains Dynasty, impossible to remove and deeply embedded.

According to historical records, when Liu Xiu was fighting for the unification of the country, the Xiongnu were very active and even cultivated a fake regime and a fake emperor to compete with Liu Xiu for the northern land. However, if he had established his own army and power in the Xiongnu beforehand, he would have been able to help Liu Xiu solve the problem of unifying the north.

"Good brother!" Mu Zheng was in high spirits. "You've bought yourself another pension insurance plan!"
