Chapter 171: Scheming against Nan Batian

Chen, Chen Jiusi!
Seeing the person who walked in, everyone around looked at him, and all their eyes were focused on Chen Jiusi.

Chen Jie walked up to the lobby with a smile on his face, and bowed to Tang Wannian and said, "County Magistrate Tang, I'm here. I heard that someone said I was the murderer, so I'm here to fall into their trap. Please don't bother County Magistrate Tang to arrest me!"

Hearing this, Tang Wannian immediately smiled: "Haha... Master Chen, you are joking. How could you be the murderer?"

"It must be this adulterous couple who falsely accused Master Chen. Master Chen, please don't be surprised!"

Tang Wannian pointed at the young couple from the wine shop on the ground and said affirmatively that he dared to offend this young couple, so the problem must be with this young couple.

Do you think this young couple was wronged?
Is it important?
It doesn’t matter, because no one cares about their feelings. In this environment where the strong prey on the weak, only the strong can survive. As for the weak, do they deserve to be bullied?
Unfortunately, yes.

Because they have no protection from the strong and the weak do not know how to resist, they can only be used as food by the strong.

Chen Jie felt very sympathetic towards them, but he could not help them because Chen Jie was not yet the Supreme. If he were the Supreme, he could use his mercy to save the world, but he was not.

He is just a player in the game.

Chen Jie stood there, looked at Tang Wannian and said, "Mr. Magistrate, let me tell you about what happened yesterday. Yesterday's incident actually had nothing to do with my brother."

"If you say it's okay, then it's okay!"

At this time, the Mulan woman shouted sternly. After hearing this voice, Chen Jie looked at her with a squinting eye and asked, "Who are you?"

The woman said, "Tara's wife!"

"Who is Tara?"

Chen Jie looked at Tang Wannian. Tang Wannian was very upset. He didn't even know the deceased. Well, he was really a confused county magistrate. He judged a confused case. So let him be confused like this.

Tang Wannian pointed to the body on the ground and said, "That Mulan noble is Tara."

Chen Jie took a quick look and said, "Well, I haven't seen it. It wasn't someone from our White Tiger Hall who killed him."

The woman was immediately furious: "If you say it's not, then it's not. Who the hell do you think you are?"

Mu Lanren had always been arrogant, and at this time she started scolding Chen Jie directly. Chen Jie looked at her and frightened her so much that she stepped back repeatedly, almost unable to stand, and sat down on the chair.

Chen Jie glanced at her and said, "If you talk to me like this on a normal day, you'd be dead!"

"Hasn't anyone ever told you not to mess with the Thirteen Protectors?"

Chen Jie's voice was cold.

The woman shuddered, but her century-long sense of national superiority would not allow her to be intimidated by a Han Chinese, so she angrily said, "Why are you so arrogant? I am a noble Mulan people. So what if you are one of the Thirteen Guardians? You dare to kill me!"

Chen Jie squinted his eyes when he heard this and said nothing, because if it hadn't been in the court, she would have been chopped into pieces and thrown into the Mian River to feed the fish!
The situation was frozen for a moment, and Tang Wannian didn't know how to judge the case.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside, and then Qimuge, dressed in black armor, walked in and said, "Jiu Si, we are not done yet. Nan Batian and Old Monster Liu have already set out."

Chen Jie smiled bitterly upon hearing this and said, “Commander, this noble lady Mulan insisted on putting me in jail, and I was still thinking about how to beg for mercy from Lord Tang.”

Tang Wannian suddenly saw Qimuge at this moment, and immediately stood up, ran over and asked, "Commander, why are you here? What instructions does Lord Yelu have?"

Qimugege has a special identity in Mianshui County, that is, Lord Yelu's substitute. He often does things for Lord Yelu, so when other people see him, they basically understand Lord Yelu's intentions.

At this time, Qimuge said, "Master Tang, why are you so long-winded in trying a case? Just make a judgment quickly. Master Yelu said that Baihutang is not guilty."

After hearing this, Tang Wannian immediately said, "Yes, I understand."

Tang Wannian ran back to his desk as the county magistrate. The noblewoman beside him frowned at Qimuge and said, "Qimuge, what does Lord Yelu mean? We Mulan people are being bullied, but you are letting him go without knowing the reason? Is he an official of our Mulan people or a Han official?"

"Ok?"

Qimuge turned to look at the noblewoman and said with a mocking look on his face, "Wife of Muyet Tara, the highest member of your Muyet family is only a captain of a thousand men. With your lowly status, do you dare to question the decision of Lord Yelu, who was a prime minister for three dynasties?"

"You are worthy!"

Qimugege doesn't indulge any crappy noblewoman. Your family has produced at most one captain of a thousand men in the past hundred years. You guys who live off your ancestors' wealth dare to be disrespectful to Lord Yelu. You must be tired of living.

No matter how poor our Yelu family is, we are still nobles in Dadu. How can you country folk question that?

It's ridiculous.

You always flaunt the glory earned by your ancestors and even dare to question Lord Yelu's decision. Don't you know that you are not as useful as a manager of the White Tiger Hall?
Lord Yelu is helping you because of your Mulan identity, otherwise why would you be showing off here in front of Chen Jiusi?
Is it just based on the limited strength of your family?

It's ridiculous! If Chen Jiusi really wanted to get serious, it would only take him a word to wipe out your entire family!
Sometimes, Qimugege felt it was funny. How could these stupid fellows think that they, as ordinary people, dared to be arrogant to the Han martial arts masters just because of their noble status?

Yes, in terms of status, they are inferior to you. You are Mulan nobles, and they are Han people and untouchables.

But putting aside your identities, how can you compare with others?

madness!

This is the comment Qimuge gave them. In the past hundred years, some of the nobles in Mulan have become useless.

A hundred years ago, their ancestors were the Mulan heroes who galloped across the desert and conquered the north and south. They followed the Han Dynasty, galloped all the way, and conquered the Eurasian continent. How heroic they were at that time.

What happened after they took control of the Central Plains?
They were all eroded by the beauty of the Central Plains, indulged in alcoholism, and relaxed their military preparations, causing the fighting power that they once prided themselves on to be completely lost.

Only an empty shell of nobility remains.

If the establishment of the Darughachi Palace had not guaranteed their status, how could they have lived like emperors in various places?

The current Mulan tribe can be said to be in disarray. Apart from the three major legions that can still fight, the other tribes have basically no combat power to show for themselves.

Moreover, the Mulan people have never been willing to put down their pride, to assimilate, learn from the Han people, or integrate into the Han people. In the end, the only result is severe ethnic conflicts.

They always feel that the Han people are lambs to be slaughtered and consider themselves a noble nation.

But why don’t they think about the fact that more than a hundred years ago, they were also regarded as pariahs by others. At that time, there was a nation called Jurchens, who ruled Mulan for more than twenty years. Mulan was also called pariahs by them. But what about twenty years later?
The Jin Dynasty was destroyed!

Such a lesson is right before our eyes, but the people of Mulan never learn from it.

From the prime minister of the imperial court to the herdsmen in the local areas, all of them live with the ridiculous idea that they are a noble nation.

In fact, they didn't know that the Han people were trying to find a way to counterattack. If they didn't pay attention to the Han people and make use of them, their fate would be miserable.

All of this is what the Yelu family advocated, Sinicization. The population of the Han nationality is much higher than that of the Mulan people. Only by Sinicization and classifying the Mulan people as Han people, and then making no distinction between you and me, can the rule of Daqian be long-lasting and stable.

Unfortunately, the higher-ups did not agree, and Prime Minister Bayan even publicly refuted the Yelu family’s memorial as words that would bring disaster to the country.

The head of the Yelu family was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot and unfortunately died later. The descendants of the Yelu family were also sent to other places one after another and no longer served as officials in the capital.

As a servant of the Yelu family, Qimuge naturally knew what was going on here, and also understood Lord Yelu's purpose of winning over the Han people!
Because he couldn't stand these Mulan people who only relied on their status.

Tang Wannian sat back at his county magistrate's desk and slammed the gavel, bang!

"This county now declares that the White Tiger Hall is not guilty, and all the people involved will be released on the spot..."

After hearing this, Chen Jie went over and grabbed the iron chain on Chen Xiaohu's hand. He used all his internal strength to pull it, and with a crack, the iron chain broke.

This frightened the noble lady Mu Lan, who then turned around and left.

Watching Chen Jie and Chen Xiaohu walk away in a swagger, Lady Mulan angrily said, "Let's go back and find Uncle Alutai and ask him to judge the matter."

At this time, the housekeeper looked at the distraught young couple behind him and said, "Madam, where are they?"

Upon hearing this, the lady looked at them and said, "Since my husband Tara likes them so much, let them be buried with him, and do it cleanly."

"Yes!"

The housekeeper agreed immediately and left with the group. However, the young couple had no idea that the god of death had quietly opened its arms to them. They thought they could save their lives by betraying their consciences and falsely accusing Chen Xiaohu. In fact, since they got involved in this matter, it would be difficult for them to get out of it unscathed.

This is nothing new. Every year, at least dozens of Han people die at the hands of these Mulan people, and sometimes even hundreds of them.

And this is nothing new. The Han people have become accustomed to it, even numb to it. If anyone is killed by the Mulan people, it means he is unlucky and has bad luck. Everyone just sighs about his bad luck and nothing happens next.

This is the true portrayal of the Han people in this era.

After Chen Jie and his party left the yamen, Qimuge took them to Yelu Mansion.

Today, Yelu is going to host a banquet to entertain the three giants of Mianshui County, Nan Batian, Liu Laoguai, and Chen Jiusi. There must be something going on.

Thinking this way, the group soon arrived at the Darughachi Mansion.

When I entered the mansion, I saw that singing and dancing had already begun.

Old Monster Liu and Nan Batian sat on each side, with Yelu in the middle, half lying down and enjoying the dancers' performance.

A thin gauze covers your jade-like body, your black hair wraps around your soft legs, butterflies fly among the flowers, and cuckoos sing beside the trees.

What an extravagant dance.

Yelu looked at the erotic dance in front of him, and Old Monster Liu was also full of admiration. Only Nan Batian was absent-minded. No matter how beautiful the dance was, it did not stir any ripples in his heart.

Because it's useless.

While thinking this, Chen Jie walked in. As soon as he came in, Chen Jie bowed to Yelu first.

"Greetings, Lord Yelu."

Yelu opened his mouth and ate a grape, then looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, is the matter settled?"

Chen Jie said: "Thanks to you, sir, it has been properly handled."

Yelu said: "Sit down, sit down."

Chen Jie was placed at the top of the Southern Hegemony.

After sitting down, Chen Jie bowed to Nan Batian and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. The leader is still in high spirits."

Nan Batian glanced at Chen Jie and said, "You look very healthy too. I heard you visited the temple fair yesterday?"

"It's true that nothing can be hidden from the leader."

As he spoke, Nan Batian said, "By the way, I heard that Doctor Bai has come to Mianshui County. Send him to the headquarters when you have time. I haven't seen him for a long time."

"it is good."

Chen Jie smiled, and Nan Batian said, "By the way, don't let Doctor Bai do such dangerous things in the future. I heard that he was attacked on the way back and almost didn't make it back, right? If something goes wrong, my fishing gang will lose an excellent doctor."

Chen Jie's face darkened, and then he said with a smile: "Yes, what the gang leader said is very true. I will pay attention and will not let the thieves seize the opportunity next time."

The two of them were whispering to each other, and Yelu asked, "What are you two talking about?"

Chen Jie heard this and said, "Nothing, just chatting with the gang leader about the elders in the family."

Yelu said: "Okay, today we are having a banquet, so we won't talk about family matters. Now that everyone is here, you can all go down."

Yelu waved his hand and asked all the dancers to leave.

"Notify them to start the banquet."

After hearing this, the people below immediately brought a table, a big table, and served the food.

Fortunately, today is not a fish banquet. Our Lord Darughachi is well-known for his love of fish, but today's banquet is very sumptuous.

In the middle there is a roasted whole lamb, some Mulan specialties, and at the end there is a charcoal stove.

There is an iron plate on top, and its purpose is very clear. Because everyone has different tastes for meat, some like it to be grilled bigger, while others like it smaller. Therefore, one stove can be used for secondary grilling.

Soon, various delicacies were served, and the last dish was Yelu’s favorite sashimi.

I don't know why Lord Yelu has such a special liking for sashimi.

Yelu watched as all the dishes were served. He picked up the chopsticks first, picked up a piece of sashimi, and ate it with a look of satisfaction on his face.

Nan Batian took a bite, but Old Monster Liu didn't move. Chen Jie didn't eat raw food, so he fried the fish on an iron plate.

Take a bite.

Yelu said at this time: "Don't be restrained, everyone. There is no hatred or grudges here, no hierarchy, just feel free."

After hearing this, several people clasped their fists and said, "Yes, Lord Yelu."

Yelu smiled without saying anything, then ate a few bites of food, drank a few sips of wine, and glanced at Nan Batian. He saw that Nan Batian had a dark face and was staring at Chen Jie, looking very unfriendly.

Yelu coughed lightly and said, "Boss Nan, I've already said that today we are not going to talk about grudges, we are just going to eat. Why are you staring at Jiu Si? Do you have any unresolved grudges? Do you want my help?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Batian immediately said, "Lord Yelu is overthinking. Jiu Si and I have a very good relationship and we have no grudges against each other."

After hearing this, Old Monster Liu on the side said sarcastically: "Yes, there is no grudge, but you have set up many traps for Jiu Si. If Jiu Si had not reacted quickly, he would probably be killed by you now."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Old Monster Liu, when have I ever cheated Jiu Si?"

"Jiu Si is a pillar of my gang. I love him so much that I cannot suppress or frame him. Besides, how can you, a member of the Cao Gang, know about my Yu Gang? You only heard it from others. Don't stir up trouble for Lord Yelu!"

"I'm a gossipmonger!"

Old Monster Liu became angry immediately, but just as he opened his mouth, he thought for a moment and closed it, then sat down and stopped talking.

He didn't want to blow things up and cause a big mess.

Chen Jie also tried to smooth things over at this time: "Haha, thank you two gang leaders for your kindness. Let's not talk about this today. Lord Yelu invited us here today, not just for a meal, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yelu looked at everyone and said, "Well, nothing can be hidden from Jiusi."

Yelu thought about it and sighed, "It's hard for me to be a darughachi. The court has handed over a county to me, and I have to manage it carefully. If there is a problem, I will be sleepless and dissatisfied with you. I haven't slept well for a long time."

After hearing this, everyone fell silent and looked at Yelu and said, "Sir, you have worked hard."

Yelu said: "It's not hard. I work hard and love the people. Although I am a herdsman, I treat all Han people equally and have never targeted anyone..."

Everyone looked at Yelu, confused. What exactly was Lord Yelu going to do?
Thinking like this, Yelu finally changed his mind and said, "But why, why do I love the Han people so much, but the Han people want to rebel against me?"

When everyone heard this, they instantly understood that this was the key point.

At this time, Nan Batian said, "Sir, who dares to rebel against you? We will get rid of this harm for you!"

Upon hearing this, Yelu said, "Zoroastrianism!"

Everyone fell silent after hearing this. They looked at each other and then asked, "Has Zoroastrianism entered our Mianshui County?"

Yelu said: "Well, they have entered our Mianshui County, and are doing something big."

"Big deal? What big deal?"

Everyone looked at Yelu, who said, "They are making a batch of weapons to support the northern rebels!"

Ok?
Everyone's eyes widened after hearing this. The Northern Rebels refer to the Zoroastrian Northern Uprising Army, but they are actually manufacturing weapons in Mianshui County. This is too arrogant.

Nan Batian and Liu Laoguai looked at each other, with shock in their eyes.

They didn't expect that the Zoroastrian Church would choose to forge weapons directly in Mianshui County. After all, they knew that they purchased pig iron secretly, but they usually transported it away. So why did they choose to forge it in the county this time?

Chen Jie also had a look of shock on his face. There was no apparent problem, but he was not surprised at all in his heart.

What was he surprised about? Not only did he know that the Zoroastrians were manufacturing weapons in the city, he also promised the Zoroastrians to help them transport the weapons out of the city!
So there's nothing to be surprised about, but the show still has to go on.

For a moment, the three of them looked surprised. Yelu looked at the three of them and didn't find anything wrong. Could it be that these three didn't know?
Chen Jie then asked, "Master Yelu, is your source of information reliable?"

"Yes, Lord Yelu, is your source of information reliable?"

After hearing this, Yelu said, "Of course it is reliable. Come here."

As Yelu shouted, two guys with ferocious faces came into the house dragging a man who looked like a dead dog. The floor was covered with blood. The man was in tatters, and his limbs were not intact, with his arms and legs missing.

It looked like he had been severely tortured. Chen Jie took a look and didn't take it to heart. He knew that this was the person in charge of the transportation line of the Zoroastrianism.

At this time, Old Monster Liu looked at Yelu and said, "Sir, who is this person?"

Yelu heard this and said, "This man is the person in charge of transporting ironware and supplies for the Zoroastrianism. He was captured by Qimuge not long ago. After being tortured, he told me that a batch of military equipment was being forged in Mianshui County, mainly arrowheads for crossbows and bows. He was originally supposed to be responsible for transporting them out of Mianshui County, but he is no longer needed."

"That's easy. We just need to get him to tell us who made the weapon, and then we can just take people to arrest them."

Chen Jie spoke directly, and Yelu heard it and said, "If it were that simple, it would be great. This matter is a bit difficult to handle. These Zoroastrian rebels are very insidious. They actually use a single line of communication, which means that the people above know who he is, but he knows nothing about the people above."

"this?"

Chen Jie paused for a moment after hearing this, and then asked, "Could it be that he is keeping his mouth shut and won't say anything?"

Yelu heard this and said, "It's impossible. He has already used more than half of the torture instruments in the palace. No one with such a tight mouth can withstand so many tortures, so he really doesn't know."

Chen Jie thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "If he really doesn't know, how can we arrest him?"

After hearing this, Yelu said: "Well, this is the crux of the matter, so I drafted a charter."

Chen Jie said, "Master Yelu, please give me your instructions."

Nan Batian and Liu Laoguai also said, "Master Yelu, please give us your orders."

After hearing this, Yelu said, "Well, it is like this. It is difficult to identify the target if we want to capture people now, but they must leave the city, and to leave the city they must pass through the city gate. But I am afraid that they will be desperate and force their way in, so I hope you can do one thing."

"My lord, please give me your instructions."

Yelu said: "Each of you should send a Huajin warrior to lead 300 people to help the officers and soldiers guard the county town to prevent them from jumping off the wall. Qimuge will patrol outside the city with a black flag these days. When the time comes, as long as there is a problem, he will immediately send a signal arrow."

"Other forces should come to support us. This way, no matter how cunning the Zoroastrian rebels are, they will not be able to escape from Mianshui County."

After Yelu finished saying this, Chen Jie and the other two looked at each other.

Each family sends one Hua Jin, plus three hundred guards to guard the city gates. This is a high cost, considering that each gang now has a limited number of Hua Jin.

Old Monster Liu from the Cao Gang has only one subordinate, Bai Mosheng.

Chen Jie only has one Chen Xiaohu under his command.

The fishing gang has more people at its headquarters, but they are only Qin Ying and the Tiger and Leopard brothers, and the Tiger and Leopard brothers are counted as one.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie narrowed his eyes. However, the force guarding the city gate was very strong. If someone wanted to use force, the possibility of breaking in would be very small.

Therefore, if you want to transport the weapons out of the city directly, you need to use other methods.

Thinking about this, Chen Jie remembered the countermeasures he discussed with Sun Tiechui and the pretty beauty Han He last night.

At that time, they also mentioned the incident of someone being captured by the Darughachi Mansion, and they all agreed that this person would definitely confess to the fact that they had built military weapons in the city. Therefore, Chen Jie also discussed a countermeasure for this matter.

And made a series of arrangements.

Chen Jie actually found a good way to do this. This method can not only transport the military equipment out of the city, but most importantly, Chen Jie can also use this method to trick Nan Batian once, and maybe even completely defeat Nan Batian.

Chen Jie had originally been planning to find an opportunity to make suggestions to Lord Darughaci, but he did not expect that Darughaci would bring up the matter directly. This paved the way for Chen Jie, and what Chen Jie said seemed more natural.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie glanced at Nan Batian and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Nan Batian, you have harmed me so many times, it's time for me to cheat you.

Chen Jie thought about it and said, "Master Yelu, I completely agree with your opinion. My White Tiger Hall will dispatch personnel tomorrow, led by my cousin Chen Xiaohu, and follow Master Yelu's arrangements."

After hearing Chen Jie's statement, Yelu's mouth curled up immediately, thanking Chen Jiusi for being sensible.

Thinking of this, Yelu said, "Okay."

Chen Jie said, "But sir, I want to tell you that there will be a funeral in my White Tiger Hall in seven days, and Xiaohu may need to attend."

"funeral?"

Yelu looked at Chen Jie, and Chen Jie said, "Well, it's like this, Gang Leader Liu's son was poisoned..."

"My twenty-eight warriors risked their lives to rescue my master. I am grateful to the universe for this favor, so please approve it, sir."

Yelu heard this and said, "Okay, okay, such a guard should have a grand funeral. I agree."

"Thank you, sir!"

Chen Jie clasped his fists. Nan Batian, who was standing beside him, heard this and his face turned unhappy, because the insidious person Chen Jie was talking about was him. It was he who caused the deaths of these twenty-eight people. However, he was thick-skinned and didn't care.

At this time, Nan Batian also decided to let Qin Ying lead 300 people to join the city patrol team, and Liu Laoguai asked Bai Mosheng to lead people to join the city patrol team.

In this way, even if Yelu achieved his goal today and brought three masters of Hua Jin to guard the city gate, the Zoroastrianism would be unable to escape.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie said, "Master Yelu, we should not be so passive, but should turn passivity into initiative."

Upon hearing this, Yelu looked at Chen Jie and asked, "How can we turn passivity into initiative?"

Nan Batian and Liu Laoguai also looked over, wanting to see what Chen Jie was going to do. At this time, Chen Jie said with a smile on his face: "It's actually very simple. We can analyze it."

Yelu looked at him and said, "How to analyze it?"

"First of all, is this information accurate?"

Chen Jie asked. After hearing this, Qimuge said, "It is absolutely true. I found out through personal interrogation."

Chen Jie said: "That's great, that means someone is really making weapons in Mianshui County!"

Qimuge nodded and explained, "Then the matter is simple. Mianshui County is only this small. We can monitor it. If they want to forge weapons, there must be clanging sounds. It is not easy to cover up such sounds. However, no one has reported it for such a long time, which means that they have concealed it very well."

"There are only two ways I can think of to cover up the sound of the ironwork. The first is to dig a cellar. After digging it deep, raise some chickens, ducks and geese above the cellar to use the noise of the chickens, ducks and geese to cover up the sound of the ironwork."

Chen Jie explained his first method. This method had a source. When Zhu Di was fighting against the rebellion in Fengtian, he used this method to create weapons.

Of course these people didn’t know who Zhu Di was, but they thought it made sense.

Chen Jie said: "However, this range is too wide and difficult to investigate. We can put this aside for now. I think there is a second method that will not attract attention."

"what?"

Everyone looked at Chen Jie, and Chen Jie said, "It will be made in the blacksmith shop."

"Ok?"

After hearing this, everyone looked at Chen Jie, who said, "That's right, they made it in the blacksmith shop. Think about it, isn't it normal for a blacksmith shop to have clanging sounds all day long? But who knows whether they are making farm tools or military equipment?"

"So why don't we do a surprise inspection? Maybe we'll get something unexpected."

Chen Jie expressed his idea, and Yelu's eyes lit up. This is a good idea.
Although Yelu didn't understand the word "surprise inspection", he understood its meaning. He thought about it and said, "Well, what Jiu Si said is very reasonable."

"What do you think?"

Old Monster Liu said, "Well, what Jiu Si said is very true. This method is very wonderful."

Although Nan Batian on the other side didn't want to admit it, he still had to say: "Well, Jiu Si is right."

Qimuge nodded and said, "Well, this method works, Master, you can try it."

Yelu nodded and said, "Well, very good. In that case, let's do a surprise inspection. By the way, how many blacksmith shops are there in Mianshui County? Which one is the largest?"

After hearing this, Nan Batian said, "There are currently four blacksmith shops in Mianshui County, but the largest one is definitely the Sun Family Blacksmith Shop located in East City. Sun Tiechui is also one of the Thirteen Guardians."

Old Monster Liu said, "Yes, that's right, Sun Tiechui is indeed quite capable."

"Sun Tiechui?"

Yelu murmured, and then said: "Well, that's it. Qimuge, you gather your men and go to the East City immediately to search the Sun family blacksmith shop. Oh, and you three should go with him. Sun Tiechui is one of the Thirteen Guardians, so if you send a few more Huajin, we can have someone to look after him!"

After hearing this, everyone clasped their fists and said, "Yes."

Yelu waved his hand and said, "Well, you guys get ready first, I'll go back to the house and rest for a while."

Soon Yelu returned to the house. At this time, only Chen Jie and a few others were left outside. Chen Jie looked outside and said, "Okay, we have something to do this time."

Nan Batian looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, I see that you are very concerned about arresting the Zoroastrians."

Chen Jie laughed and said, "There's nothing I can do. Since I've joined the imperial court, I have to have an attitude."

As Chen Jie was speaking, he had already gone outside. Old Monster Liu followed him, and Nan Batian also followed him out. He didn't want Old Monster Liu and Chen Jie to be alone together, fearing that they would find ways to harm him.

When they got outside, Chen Jie gave Xiaohu a look, and Xiaohu immediately understood and left quietly.

At this time, Chen Jie looked at Old Monster Liu and said, "Boss Liu, my White Tiger Hall will hold a funeral in seven days. Please do me a favor."

Upon hearing this, Old Monster Liu said, "Well, these 28 heroes also sacrificed their lives to save my son. My Cao Gang owes them a favor. I will definitely be there. If my son Liu Song gets better, I will take Liu Song with me to see the heroes off!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Boss Liu."

Old Monster Liu said, "Brothers, let's not talk about this. Oh, why don't you ask your Nan Gang leader whether he will go there?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Nan Batian and said, "Boss, are you willing to go?"

Nan Batian heard this and said, "Something happened."

Why is he going? He was the one who killed the person. If he still goes, whose face will be lost then?

Chen Jie looked at Nan Batian and said, "Boss, don't you want your brothers to send you off and kowtow to you?"

Nan Batian said with a dark face: "I kowtow to them?"

Chen Jiusi said: "Shouldn't it be? Gang leader, you should know in your heart that if it weren't for your instigation, they wouldn't have died. Don't you want to repent?"

Nan Batian sneered and said, "Haha, who told them to follow the wrong master? If you follow the wrong master, you have to pay the price. This is my principle."

Chen Jiusi smiled and looked at Nan Batian and said, "Boss Nan, I will make you kowtow and admit your mistakes."

Nan Batian looked at Chen Jie and said, "Then give it a try."

The two men stared at each other in the air, and the situation was already tense. They were like water and fire to each other. If it weren't for the pressure from Darughachi, the war would have broken out long ago.

Old Monster Liu watched from the side without saying anything.

At this time, Qimuge came over, looked at the two men who were on the verge of a fight and said, "You two, this is Yelu Mansion. Even if you want to fight to the death, you have to wait until you get out of here."

Chen Jie and Nan Batian looked at each other, then sneered and separated.

We have already put enough in the house.

After they separated, Qimuge said, "You two, Lord Yelu said that during the time when the inspector is here, Mianshui County should not cause internal strife, so you two, please restrain yourself."

After hearing this, both of them fell silent.

Qimuge said: "The troops have been assembled. I will go and report to Lord Yelu."

After hearing this, the three men stepped back and made way for Qimugege. Qimugege then entered the inner hall and came to where Lord Yelu was.

At this time, Yelu was drinking tea and thinking.

At this time, Qimuge came in and said, "Sir, the troops have been integrated."

Yelu said: "Well, go ahead. Remember to check carefully and don't miss any corner."

After hearing this, Qimuge said: "Well, I know, but sir, this Sun family blacksmith shop is our property!"

Yelu remained silent.

That's right. The development of Sun's Blacksmith Shop was inseparable from Yelu's help. When Yelu entered Mianshui County, he was resisted by the indigenous Mulan people of Mianshui County and was short of funds. At this time, Sun Tiechui from Sun's Blacksmith Shop came to him.

He wanted to forge some iron farm tools and sell them. You know, iron farm tools are much more efficient than ordinary wooden farm tools.

If it could be sold on a large scale, it would definitely make a lot of money.

Then Yelu agreed, and the Sun Family Blacksmith Shop also made a lot of money through this, but the bulk of the profit went to Yelu. Yelu also attached great importance to this way of making money, so he introduced some guys who made weapons to the Sun Family Blacksmith Shop, and then he took a commission.

Including the large and small gangs in Mianshui County, their weapons were almost all made in the Sun family blacksmith shop.

Yelu also made a lot of profit from it.

Therefore, the Sun family blacksmith shop was also supported by Yelu. This is also the problem that Qimugege is worried about. Does he really want to investigate his own industry?
Yelu took a sip of tea and said, "Check!"

Zoroastrianism undermines the foundation of the Daqian Dynasty, and the harm it causes is enormous. If he ignores it for his own selfish interests, it would be a betrayal of the Daqian Dynasty and a betrayal of the Yelu family's hundred years of loyalty.

So this time, we must check.

If it is discovered that there is indeed a problem with the Sun Family Blacksmith Shop, Yelu will ruthlessly eliminate the Sun Family Blacksmith Shop.

He can distinguish between what is the country and what is personal gain!

Qimuge clasped his fists and said, "I understand, Master. I'll go right away."

After saying this, Qimuge turned around and left. When he came out, he saw Chen Jie and the other two and said, "Lord Yelu ordered us to set off!"

Chen Jie and the other two followed Qimugege and soon arrived outside, where a group of people were already standing.

And there were two incongruous groups of people, they were the guards of Nan Batian and Liu Laoguai. They both came out with their guards today, and there were quite a lot of them, around fifty or sixty people.

There are only two people in Chen Jie, Xiaohu and Chen Jie himself.

And just as everyone was about to go out, they saw a young man in black clothes running away stealthily.

Black clothes, this time Nan Batian's men, Qimuge frowned and pointed at the black shadow and said: "Who is running?"

After hearing this, everyone was stunned. At this time, someone in Nan Batian's team said, "Boss, Yu Laoliu ran away!"

"Where did he go?"

"He said his wife ran away after giving birth."

"Chase!"

When Nan Batian heard this, he immediately became angry and shouted to chase him, but Qimuge said, "Don't chase him, hurry to Sun's blacksmith shop," and he glanced at Nan Batian.

Nan Batian's heart skipped a beat and he felt something was not good. It seemed like a trap!

He suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Jie, but saw Chen Jie following Qimuge without saying a word. Old Monster Liu then walked up to Nan Batian and said, "What did you tell that disciple? Give birth to a child? Who would believe that?"

Nan Batian has a lot of grievances that he can’t express, but I don’t, and I don’t know.

At this time, Chen Jie was walking in front, and Xiao Hu came over and whispered, "Master, just to give them an illusion, you used the spy we spent half a year to infiltrate the Fishermen's Gang?"

Chen Jie smiled and said, "That's enough. His move is worth the money."

Chen Jie smiled. Seeing Chen Jie's smile, Xiao Hu said, "But we are not fools. Who can believe that it was Nan Batian who reported the news?"

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "They don't need to believe it. As long as there is a little suspicion, the spy will not be in vain. Send the spy back to his hometown and wait for the storm to pass before returning."

"Yes."

Chen Jie looked back at Nan Batian who had a depressed look on his face. It would take a lot of effort to bring down a giant like this, and the first step was to start with doubt.

The role of the spy is to make Qimugege suspicious. He doesn't need to believe it. As long as he is suspicious, it means victory.

And what comes next, haha, is the real fun of this scene.

Thinking about it, Chen Jie said to himself: I wonder how the blacksmith shop is preparing?
At this time, a worker from the Sun Family Blacksmith Shop rushed in and said, "Someone from the Yelu Mansion is coming to us."

Upon hearing this, Sun Tiechui looked at Han He and said with a smile, "Haha, the show is about to begin."
