'Snapped! '
Qin Changdong put down his wine bowl, wiped the corner of his mouth, and took a piece of braised beef in soy sauce and stuffed it into his mouth.
While chewing, he said to Xu Shan beside him: "I heard about what happened in your family today."
"Well done!"
"It's like looking for a woman. When you need to be hard, you can't be soft!"
"Otherwise, you'll just get poked in the back and called a 'coward'."
Hearing this, Xu Shan smiled and replied, "Thank you, Uncle Qin, for your care!"
'boom! '
After saying that, he took the initiative to raise a glass!
"But Uncle Qin, does the Ximen family really have the support of Gu Dayong, one of the Eight Tigers of the East Factory?"
"Even if he has the support of the East Factory, we are not afraid of him!"
"Ah? Uncle Qin, before you drink, you say 'I'm from Yuhang,' and after you drink, you say 'Yuhang is mine'?"
"Doesn't the East Factory control the Pacification Office?"
"That was before, not now!"
"Oh? Is there any explanation for this?"
After Xu Shan finished speaking, Qin Changdong, under the influence of alcohol, said, "The current supervisor of the East and West Factories, Cao Zhengchun, came from Yongshou Palace."
"Yongshou Palace... Empress Dowager Lin's people?"
In his later years, the late emperor was obsessed with cultivating immortality and neglecting state affairs!
As a result, the imperial power fell into the hands of the imperial relatives - the Lin family in the capital.
Especially after the sudden death of the previous emperor, the Lin family became the most powerful family, and Empress Lin ruled the country from behind the scenes for nearly ten years.
His brother Lin Ruopu was even honored as the chief minister of the cabinet!
Until a few years ago, Empress Zhu Youwei awakened her ancestral veins, and was born with strange phenomena, with golden dragons circling the pillars...
Only then did Queen Lin, under pressure, return power to the king!
However, eight-tenths of the power in the court still belonged to Lin.
The princes stationed abroad, in alliance with the local martial arts sects, also obey the imperial edict and not the announcement!
In addition to tens of thousands of imperial guards, the empress only had the Pacification Office controlled by the imperial teacher.
"In order to fight for power and profit for their masters, the East and West Factories and the Pacification Office have been fighting openly and secretly for many years."
"Let's not talk about the distant past. Let's just take the Dali prince Duan Yu as an example. He expressed his obedience to the empress on behalf of the Dali Kingdom, and then he died in Yuhang."
"Even our Pacification Office didn't know about his incognito visit, so how did the Five Poison Sect, so far away in the Miao Territory, know about it?"
"And there's General Ma, who secretly reported someone for reselling military equipment and rations. Just as Shangguan arrived, he was gone."
Qin Changdong stopped talking after making the point.
Only at the end, I added: "It's a very complicated matter here!"
"However, one thing is certain..."
"As long as we are not caught by the slightest mistake, the eunuchs from the East Factory can't touch us, the Imperial Guards."
"Before, you were a captain, so you weren't involved in many things. Now you're a small flag officer, and you have a bright future..."
"You still need to know what you should know."
Qin Changdong's heartfelt words gave Xu Shan a certain understanding of the current situation.
"Xu Shan, are you here?"
"Where's Lao Qin?"
Just then, a loud voice was heard outside the door.
Xu Shan subconsciously turned around and opened the door. After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, he smiled and said, "Uncle Li!"
"You kid, you're really in the station. It seems that thing has nothing to do with you!"
The person who came was Li Ziqi, the leader of the Sixth Institute and the trial captain.
When Xu Shan's father was still alive, he was his old boss.
Normally, although he is not as attentive to Xu Shan as Qin Changdong, he still takes good care of him.
"What has nothing to do with Xu Shan?"
Qin Changdong, who also stood up, asked subconsciously.
"The Ximen family was almost wiped out."
"Destroy the whole family?"
Even Xu Shan was shocked when he heard these two words.
He only targeted Ximen Qing, so why did he wipe out the entire family?
"Ximen Qing's concubine was given a love potion and smeared with poison..."
"From Old Master Ximen, to Young Master Ximen, and down to the servants below, all died from the poison."
"Even the male dog was not spared."
'puff. '
After Li Ziqi finished speaking these concisely, Xu Shan and Qin Changdong couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"This amount of information is quite overwhelming!"
"Haha."
"Oh, by the way, Xu Shan, the Tangshi Hundred Householder of the Ninth Institution has specifically requested you to come over and help investigate a case."
"The horses are at the door, ready for you."
Hearing this, Xu Shan asked in surprise: "Nine?"
The jurisdiction of Jiusuo includes the canal ferry crossing.
There are many fakes and gangs there.
In order to fight for interests, they often fight.
"Another gang fight?"
"If it was a gang fight, why would you bother coming?"
Li Ziqi's teasing also made Xu Shan wave his hand in compliment.
"More than a dozen porters died."
"Captain Ji was furious and ordered Old Tang to solve the case within a certain timeframe."
"More than a dozen?"
This is definitely a major case in Yuhang.
Xu Shan, who was not pretentious, followed Xiaoqi from the Ninth Institute and hurried to the scene of the crime.
On the way, I also got a general understanding of the case.
"More than a dozen porters were tied to stone pillars and sunk into the river."
"The floodgates upstream opened and flushed them out from the riverbed. At first, there was only one body."
"But later on, they kept getting more and more. By the time we came to pick up Xu Xiaoqi, there were already twelve."
"Their identities have basically been confirmed. They are all porters who have been working at the ferry for many years."
Hearing this, Xu Shan frowned and asked, "Didn't their family report the case before?"
"Some employers require porters to accompany the ship. They can be gone for three or five days, and no one really cares."
"However, what is certain is that they were all urgently called away three nights ago."
"The foreman who shouted at them was also among the victims."
As they were talking, Xu Shan and his friend had already arrived at the scene.
After exchanging a few words with Tang Shi, the captain of the Ninth Institute, Xu Shan walked to the corpse.
"They were all killed with one blow!"
"I really can't imagine who these dozen porters had a deep grudge against, so they would hack them to death and then drown them in the river to cover up their deaths."
When Tang Shi Baihu said this, Xu Shan, under the pretext of checking the wound, used his spiritual power to reconstruct the scene before the death of the deceased.
"No, don't kill us!"
"We didn't see anything..."
'Sizzle!'
At the beginning of the scene, no matter how the porters begged for mercy, the man with the knife still attacked without hesitation.
Xu Shan, who is of the fourth level of innateness, can now deduce the scene of the deceased 60 minutes before his death.
The camera moves forward, skipping useless scenes.
After about thirty minutes, we finally found the key to the problem.
'boom! '
'Clatter.'
As their feet slipped, the two porters who were carrying a heavy wooden box fell to the ground.
The contents of the box were also scattered all over the floor.
"Ah? This, this isn't filled with brocade and porcelain."
"What's underneath is... a weapon?"
"No, I'm familiar with the branding on this. It looks like it belongs to the Arsenal."
"This is a capital crime!"
The conversation between the two porters also made Xu Shan's body tense a little.
What made him even more angry was...
A middle-aged man who was urging them to move the goods blurted out, "Bageyalu!" after seeing this scene.
The moment I heard this...
Xu Shan's angry bloodline, which had been passed down for two lifetimes, awakened instantly!
"Damn it..."
"devil?"
