Chapter 173 Chen Jiusi's Game within a Game (Subscription Request)
"Chen Jiusi, you are fucking me!"
Nan Batian slapped Chen Jie angrily. Chen Jie felt a bone-chilling frost suddenly locking onto him, and the entire space seemed to be frozen in an instant.
The terrifying palm power is enough to shock even the masters of Hua Jin.
This is the strength at the peak of Hua Jin. Such strength is simply difficult to match. Chen Jie feels that even if he reveals his Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms now, he may not be able to defeat Nan Batian.
Nan Batian's strength has obviously improved, and it is a level higher than when he fought with the old beggar.
In the past, after the old beggar learned the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, he was able to suppress Nan Batian and Old Monster Liu. But now, I am afraid that even if he has learned the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, he cannot suppress Nan Batian.
Nan Batian slapped him with his palm, but Chen Jie was not panicked.
Firstly, this is the Yelu Mansion, and here, Nan Batian dare not do anything to him. Secondly, Old Monster Liu is standing next to him.
Although due to Yelu's attitude, Old Monster Liu could not go to war directly with Nan Batian, but he and Old Monster Liu were allies, and Old Monster Liu would not sit idly by.
Sure enough, the moment Nan Batian attacked, Old Monster Liu suddenly took action.
call!
Chen Jie felt a whooshing sound next to his ear and the temperature suddenly rose. Immediately afterwards, he saw Old Monster Liu fly up and strike Nan Batian with a palm.
The two, one of ice and one of fire, suddenly attacked each other. With a snap, their palms hit each other, and it felt as if the air exploded. Ice and fire could not coexist.
With a bang, the two of them suddenly separated.
Nan Batian fell to the ground, looking at Chen Jie with cold eyes, while Old Monster Liu took a step back, and it was obvious that his skills were not as good as Nan Batian's.
Old Monster Liu had an ugly look on his face. Originally, the two people were evenly matched, but he didn't expect that Nan Batian would distance himself from him in such a short time. If he didn't test him today, he would be at a disadvantage if they really fought to the death in the future!
Nan Batian swept his cold eyes over Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiusi, now that you have someone backing you up, how dare you frame me?"
Chen Jie laughed when he heard this: "Boss, why do you say that? When have I ever framed you? It is you who has framed me time and again!"
"Haha, you don't want to admit it, right? You set me up today, right?"
"Bureau? What bureau?"
Chen Jie looked at Nan Batian in bewilderment. Nan Batian was so angry that he asked, "The guard who escaped?"
Chen Jie said, "What does your guard have to do with me? Oh, you are not trying to frame me, are you? You are not going to say that the guard is my man, are you?"
"Is not it?"
Nan Batian squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Jie. Chen Jie said, "Haha, Gang Leader, you have ruled the Fishermen's Gang for more than ten years, and I have only been in power for more than half a year. How can I place someone next to you? Then you are really useless."
"you!"
Nan Batian’s face was cold.
Chen Jie said, "Let me guess, is it something that Darughachi said that made you desperate? Now you want to pass this blame on to others, and I am the best person for you to pass it on to. But, Gang Leader, you are just trying to cover up your mistake by trying to cover up your mistake. Who would believe you?"
Chen Jie was very calm, because all this was in his plan, including the fact that Yelu would reprimand Nan Batian.
This is also one of Chen Jie's several action plans. Of course, this is not Chen Jie's only plan, but it is indeed one of them.
Nan Batian is now in the trap, and it will be difficult for him to escape.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie smiled and looked at Nan Batian. Nan Batian was silent for a long time and then said, "Let's wait and see."
After saying that, he left Yelu Mansion directly. He knew that he couldn't take action here twice, otherwise Yelu would definitely intervene.
At this time in Yelu's room, Yelu and his muge stood in front of the window. There was a special design on the window, which meant that one could see outside from the inside, but not inside from the outside.
Qimuge looked outside and said to Yelu beside him, "Master, do you think it was Chen Jiusi who framed Nan Batian?"
At this time, Yelu was looking at Chen Jie outside, and at this time, Chen Jie was also staring at Yelu in the room, intentionally or unintentionally, and their eyes met.
Yelu said: "It doesn't matter."
"Ok?"
Qimuge didn’t understand, so Yelu said, “Because whether it was him or not, Nan Batian has already gotten into trouble, and that’s what he wants.”
Qimugege didn't understand what he said.
Yelu didn't say much, just looked outside, his eyes full of admiration. This Chen Jiusi was a wise man.
He was right. Whether Chen Jiusi did it or not, he had already succeeded.
If it wasn't done by Chen Jiusi, then it was done by Nan Batian. Maybe he really had secret dealings with the Zoroastrians.
In this case, I was right to doubt him.
What if it isn't?
It was Chen Jiusi who framed him, but that doesn't matter. Nan Batian has always been hypocritical to me, and it's time for me to give him a warning.
Chen Jiusi just handed himself a knife.
but?
Yelu narrowed his eyes and said to Qimuge, "Keep an eye on Chen Jiusi recently. Report his whereabouts to me in time!"
Qimuge said: "Master, him?"
Yelu said: "Just keep an eye on them. Before this batch of weapons is found, everyone will be a suspect."
Qimuge said: "Yes."
……
The matter at Yelu Mansion was soon concluded. Chen Jie and Xiaohu left Yelu Mansion. Xiaohu asked, "Brother Jiusi, what should we do next?"
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Don't do anything. Ask your people to behave themselves for a few days. Yelu will send people to keep an eye on us. We just need to arrange the funeral normally and don't do anything unnecessary."
"Yes."
Xiaohu immediately agreed after hearing this.
Chen Jie returned to his mansion and immediately arranged for Si Xi to go to the coffin shop to order twenty-eight extra-large golden nanmu coffins to be used for the funeral seven days later.
Si Xi went to do it immediately.
Just like that, two days passed. During these two days, the entire Mianshui County was in a panic and was caught in a tense search.
The Yelu Mansion, the Fishing Gang, and even the Cao Gang all sent people to search the streets, especially asking everyone if they heard any sounds similar to jingling-dang-dang.
And it was under such circumstances that an earth-shaking event occurred in Mianshui County.
That was the once-powerful Mulan nobles, Tara's family. All 36 members of the family were killed overnight, leaving only a 70-year-old old woman.
This incident immediately alarmed the entire Mianshui County.
You should know that the Tara family was once prominent in Mianshui County.
But recently they have suffered misfortunes one after another. The first was Tara, who was killed by Chen Jiusi from the fishing gang while visiting the temple fair in Dongcheng. The case was brought to the Mianshui County government office, but the county magistrate was a timid person and did not dare to offend Chen Jiusi, so he directly announced his release in court.
As a result, the next night, all 36 members of the family were killed. If the slaves and workers were included, the total number of people was 70 to 80.
The only person who survived was an old lady paralyzed on the kang.
Moreover, the murderer was quite arrogant. After killing the woman, he went straight to the paralyzed old woman and said to her: "Your family has committed many evil deeds, and you deserve to be slaughtered. However, I feel sorry for you, an old thing, so I will spare your life. Just live well and see the retribution for your family!"
The old lady was so frightened and terrified that she fainted.
When they woke up, the entire Tara family had become a ghost town. Later, the nearby Mulan people discovered the miserable plight of the Tara family and reported it to the police.
After reporting to the police, Wu Hong arrived and after an investigation, he found that it was the Zoroastrianism that did it.
Why?
Because this group of thieves was so arrogant, they actually wrote a line of words on the gate of Tara Family: "If you do too much evil, you will be killed. The death-seeking ghost is watching you!"
Below is a huge red lotus.
This is the symbol of Zoroastrianism.
Seeing such obvious Zoroastrian symbols, if Wu Hong didn't know that it was done by Zoroastrianism, then something strange would have happened.
So Wu Hong wanted to ask the old woman who had fainted from fright.
However, they were stopped by a group of Mulan people.
"Why are you stopping us? We need to investigate thoroughly before we can arrest the person and seek justice for the deceased!"
One of Wu Hong's constables said as he looked at a Mulan man who was blocking the road.
The Mulan people said, "We Mulan people don't need you Han people to uphold justice. You guys should just go away. We will uphold justice ourselves."
Wu Hong frowned slightly and said, "You can't represent the family of the deceased."
The Mulan people looked at Wu Hong and said, "You are a Han official, don't you know where this is? This is the Mulan tribe's land. Here, you are just our slaves. What qualifications do you have to ask to see the master?"
"you!"
Seeing this Mulan man being so arrogant, the younger brother beside Wu Hong shouted loudly, but was stopped by Wu Hong just as he was about to speak.
At this moment, an old man walked out from among the Mulan people. When they saw this old man, all the Mulan people saluted solemnly.
Yes, this is the representative of the indigenous Mulan people in Mianshui County: Lao Alutai.
Old Alutai came over with his stick, looked at Mulanren and said, "Don't be rude."
The Mulan man immediately said, "Yes, Uncle Alutai."
Old Alutai looked at Wu Hong and said, "Hello, Han police chief. I am Alutai. They all call me Old Alutai."
"Regarding the extermination of the Tara clan, I have already gotten the answer from Tara's grandmother. The murderer was not some Zoroastrian, but a gang member named Chen Jiusi!"
"Chen Jiusi?"
Wu Hong was confused, and Old Alutai said: "Yes, it was Chen Jiusi. Last night, Chen Jiusi and his men..."
"Chen Xiaohu!"
At this time, a Mulan man behind him spoke up to remind him, and Old Alutai said, "Yes, there was also Chen Xiaohu, who broke into the house together and carried out a massacre. He also threatened my sister, saying that he would kill anyone he saw from Mulan."
Wu Hong frowned. When Old Aluta said this, Wu Hong felt it was possible. Chen Jiusi was a man who hated evil, but he would not believe that he directly exposed his identity and killed Tara's family. Chen Jiusi was not that stupid, right?
Wu Hong said: "I want to meet the family of the deceased."
"No, my elder sister has passed out due to excessive grief and cannot see guests!"
Old Aluta refused directly.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that old Aluta lied, and it was obviously not Chen Jiusi who was responsible for this incident, but old Aluta could not wait to throw the dirty water on Chen Jie.
The reason is simple, they have their eyes on Baihutang's refined salt business.
As long as the White Tiger Hall does not fall, they will not be able to reap enough benefits. This is the core demand of the Mulan people. Chen Jie is blocking their way to make money.
Moreover, old Aluta has confirmed through his connections that as long as Chen Jie takes over his salt fields in Nanhu, they will belong to the Mulan people.
So this is why Mu Lanren insisted on framing Chen Jie.
Including the county government, they instructed Tara's wife to accuse Chen Jiusi, hoping to take down Chen Jiusi and obtain the mining rights of Nanhu Salt Field.
As a result, Yelu intervened, causing the false accusation to fail.
They were originally planning to discuss the next step, but they never expected that, at the perfect opportunity, Tara's family would be wiped out.
You say this doesn't cause panic?
Of course it could cause panic, but there were also opportunities in the panic. Old Aluta was the first to react, and the opportunity had come.
He rushed over immediately, and when he arrived, he saw the comments and Zoroastrian symbols on the door. He originally wanted to erase them, but Wu Hong and his group arrived, and he didn't have time to destroy the evidence.
Then old Aluta prepared to find a witness and went straight to the paralyzed mother of Tara.
The old lady was already very upset after yesterday's intimidation and the death of her relatives, but fortunately, she had also gone through difficult times and was still conscious.
Old Alutai looked at the old lady and asked, "Old sister, have you seen the murderer clearly?"
The old lady said, "Now that I have seen it clearly, I will never forget them even in my dreams!"
"What does that look like?"
The old lady said, "I couldn't see clearly because they were masked, but they were definitely two women, two vicious women!"
Old Alutai: "Well, remember, they are masked, two men with local accents, and they are suspected to be from Xiantao!"
Old lady: Hmm?
"It's a woman, not a man!"
The old lady emphasized again, and then old Alutai said: "Yes, I know, two men..."
The old lady: "I want to see someone from the government office!"
Old Alutai: "Well, you need to rest. Okay, watch and don't let anyone disturb you!"
……
This is why the scene just now happened, where old Aluta blocked Wu Hong!
This dirty water must be thrown on Chen Jiusi. He made too much money from his salt fields. Such a profitable business should be given to us, the people of Mulan.
Wu Hong frowned and said, "Mr. Alutai, what you said is just your one-sided story. Do you have any witnesses?"
"Have!"
Old Aluta clapped his hands, and soon two servants came up with panicked expressions. After they arrived, they knelt directly on the ground.
"They are Tara's slaves. They witnessed everything last night!"
Old Alutai turned around and looked at them again and said, "The Captain wants to know what happened last night. Tell him what happened last night."
The two servants looked at each other and said, "It was Chen Jiusi. It was Chen Jiusi who killed the master's family!"
Wu Hong narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know Chen Jiusi?"
The two servants subconsciously looked at Old Alutai, who nodded. The two servants said, "Who doesn't know the famous White Tiger Hall Master? Of course we know him."
"Oh, it's easy if you know him. I want to ask you how tall this Chen Jiu is, is his face black or white, are his eyebrows thick or thin, and are his eyes big or small?"
Wu Hong looked at the two servants and asked.
"This……"
The two servants were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Old Alutai. Old Alutai frowned, looked at the two servants and said angrily: "You two bastards are talking nonsense. Didn't you say that Chen Jiusi was masked last night? You didn't see it clearly, right?"
"Yes, yes, I didn't see it clearly."
The two servants spoke up immediately. Wu Hong frowned and said, "How can you be sure it's Chen Jiusi's without seeing you?"
"this?"
The two looked at Old Alutai again, and Old Alutai said, "Didn't you say that the voice was Chen Jiusi?"
The two of them immediately said, "Yes, yes, it sounds like Chen Jiusi."
Wu Hong sneered when he heard this: "Haha, okay, since we can tell it's Chen Jiusi by the voice, how about we do an experiment? I'll call Chen Jiusi over and find a group of people, and you guys can find Chen Jiusi's voice."
"This~"
The two servants were speechless. Old Alutai frowned, turned around and looked at Wu Hong fiercely and said, "Are you looking for trouble on purpose?"
Wu Hong said: "I didn't, I think you want to frame someone else?"
"False accusation, haha, what a joke, how noble are we Mulan people to frame others, all right, you can go now, the case of our Mulan people will naturally be handled by the Darughachi Mansion, so there is no need for you Han constables."
Wu Hong looked at Old Alutai and said, "Okay, but I advise you, old sir, the court has its own laws, so don't act too recklessly."
After saying that, Wu Hong clasped his fists, turned around and left. He hated this group of Mulan people to the extreme.
But why did these Mulan people target Jiu Si? Did Jiu Si offend them?
No, I have to find a way to send a message to Jiu Si. Old Alutai looked at Wu Hong's back, and a sneer appeared on his face: "Haha... the court's laws? They are just tools for us Mulan people to control you Han people. What laws do we Mulan people need to be bound by? Haha, it's really ridiculous!"
Old Alutai smiled and shook his head, then said to the people beside him: "Gather representatives from all families and follow me to the Darughachi Mansion. I don't believe that we won't be able to find a place to reason with you!"
……
In the Darughachi Mansion, Yelu was enjoying his breakfast. His breakfast was very rich, with more than a dozen kinds, including Han people's steamed buns, fried dough sticks, as well as Mongolian people's milk cakes, fresh milk porridge and so on.
Darughachi was sitting there at that time.
A 28-year-old girl peeled a shrimp, dipped it in the sauce, and then fed it into Daluhaci's mouth.
Daruhachi tasted the sweetness of the shrimp, then opened his mouth, and a maid put a mouthful of fresh milk porridge into his mouth.
Nobles who know how to enjoy life don’t have to cook their own meals.
Yelu came from a wealthy family, so naturally he knew how to enjoy life. Yelu was eating happily when suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard outside and Qimuge walked in.
"master."
Yelu swallowed the fresh milk porridge in his mouth, looked at him and asked, "What are you so flustered about?"
After hearing this, Qimuge said, "Master, something has happened. Old Alutai has brought hundreds of Mulan people to block the gate of our mansion, and they are shouting for you to give them justice."
"Ok?"
Yelu frowned slightly, waved his hand to let all the maids who were serving dinner leave, and then looked at Qimuge and said, "What kind of justice do they want me to administer?"
“Master, I haven’t had time to report this to you yet. It’s the Tara family.”
"Tara? Who?"
"It's the Tara family who falsely accused Chen Jiusi of killing their man last time."
Qimuge spoke up, and upon hearing that, Yelu said, "Oh, him, what happened to his family?"
Qimuge said: "The family was wiped out!"
"What?! Destroy the whole family??"
Yelu's eyes suddenly widened. Are you kidding me? Wiping out the entire family? What a huge hatred and resentment!
"Tell me what happened in detail."
Yelu was no longer calm at this time. After all, the annihilation of the Mulan family was a big deal. If you calculate it carefully, it can be regarded as a dereliction of duty by him as Darughachi!
So he had to take it seriously.
At this time, Qimuge said: "It is like this. Last night, Tara's family of 36 people were all slaughtered overnight, leaving only 70 old women."
"After learning about this, the county government sent people to investigate early in the morning, but old Alutai and his gang found out in advance and drove away the county government's case handlers. Now everyone has come to the gate of our mansion, clamoring for us to do justice for them."
Yelu said: "Be fair. Yes, this matter cannot be taken lightly. You should ask the county government to conduct a thorough investigation and find the murderer within three days! Give an explanation to the local Mulan people."
Qimuge said: "Master, there is no need to investigate. The murderer has already carved his name on the pillar of Tara's gate. It was done by the Zoroastrians!"
"Zoroastrianism?"
Yelu frowned: "How can they be so arrogant?"
Qimuge said: "Very arrogant, but the problem now is not to catch the murderer, but these local Mulan people, they all said that the murderer is not a Zoroastrian, but Chen Jiusi!"
"Chen Jiusi? What does he have to do with this?"
Yelu was completely confused, thinking that this was just a frame-up.
However, Yelu soon understood the thoughts of these local Mulan people. Their purpose was not to kill the murderer, but to bring down Chen Jiusi.
Only when Chen Jiusi falls will they have the opportunity to get involved in the Nanhu Salt Field and gain benefits.
But how could Yelu bring down Chen Jie? The Mulan nobles had not yet investigated clearly that the largest shareholder behind the Nanhu Salt Field was Yelu.
In other words, the industry that these Mulan people coveted was actually Yelu's industry, and this group of people were targeting him.
Yelu narrowed his eyes, turned to Qimuge and said, "Go to the government office and call Tang Wannian."
Qimuge said: "Yes."
"Wait, there's also Wu Hong."
"Yes."
Qimuge immediately said after hearing this, Yelu smiled and said: "Okay, when Tang Wannian arrives, you can call old Alutai and the others in. "
"Yes."
Qimuge nodded.
Watching Qimugege leave, Yelu frowned.
Old Aluta is not an easy person to deal with. He is a representative of the local indigenous Mulan people. At the same time, he is also a long-lived person. He is already sixty-seven years old today. His long life has allowed him to see a lot of things, so he is called a wise man by the locals.
It also represents the interests of the local herders.
The south is different from the north. The north practices slavery, where slave owners are above everything else and the Han people are slaves of the Mulan people.
However, since the Mulan people in the south did not have enough ruling power, they adopted a conciliatory policy towards the Han people. Therefore, the Han people also had a certain degree of autonomy, and the Mulan people could not be too unscrupulous. They also needed to obtain their own interests through their own efforts.
In other words, at the very least, you have to manage your own business to gain more wealth, rather than robbing others openly.
Because of this, the life of the Mulan people in the south was very difficult, because they could not rob the Han people's businesses openly, but could only rely on their connections and take them down through the government. Moreover, the Han people could leave directly and could not be slaves of the Mulan people or manage their shops. As a result, even if the Mulan people robbed a shop, it would be difficult for them to run it as well as the Han people.
This is completely inferior to the North. The Mulan people in the North would take a fancy to the Han people's shops and directly rush in with their men. That same night they would put a slave collar on the male owner of the shop, and he would become the Mulan people's dog from then on.
The wife and daughter would also be sent to Master Mulan's bed to be played with by the master.
But what about the South?
As a Mulan person, I have gone to great lengths to use official means to make your shop mine, and then I have to run it. Is this fair?
Can't you just sit back and get paid?
It was precisely because of this policy that was extremely unfavorable to the Mulan people that they robbed many shops, which eventually closed down, and made their families poorer and poorer.
They had no choice but to stick together and finally chose a highly respected "wise man", old Aluta.
He really had some skills and they gained a lot of benefits. This time, old Aluta summoned them and said that there was another good thing and they could make some money.
Immediately, everyone came to Darughachi to appeal for justice. We were wronged!
Because of this, they hurried over, surrounded the Darughaci's mansion, and asked Darughaci to redress their grievances.
As for the injustice, it is of course the injustice of Chen Jiusi killing our friend Tara's family.
Soon Qimugege came back, leading a man behind him, who was the representative of the Mulan people, old Alutai.
At this time, Yelu was sitting at a table nearby drinking a pot of Longjing tea.
When he saw old Alutai, he immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Ah, Uncle Alutai, haha, long time no see!"
Yelu saw old Alutai forcing a smile, although he was not very happy and even did not want to see this hateful old Alutai. After all, this Alutai represented the interests of the local Mulan people.
The local Mulan people are fanatical supporters of Mulan Supremacy and also supporters of Daqian Prime Minister Bayan.
However, Yelu was the representative of the Hanization party and a political enemy of Bayan, so the relationship between the two groups was not harmonious.
However, after meeting, the most basic courtesy is still required.
Yelu greeted Old Alutai with a big smile on his face, took Old Alutai's hand and sat down, saying: "Uncle Alutai, I really miss you after not seeing you for a long time."
As he spoke, Old Alutai said, "I miss Lord Yelu, too."
Yelu said, "Uncle Alutai, would you like some Longjing?"
Alutai waved his hand and said, "I am not used to drinking Han tea, Lord Yelu. This time I came here to seek justice for Tara's family."
"Well, I heard about Tara's family. They are indeed extremely rampant. Don't worry, I will immediately mobilize all the people in the county to capture the Zoroastrian rebels and avenge Tara's family."
Yelu said to Old Alutai sincerely. Old Alutai was stunned and looked at Yelu and said, "Who said it was done by Zoroastrianism? The murderer is Chen Jiusi from the White Tiger Hall!"
"No, hahahaha... I read the case report from the county government. It was done by the Zoroastrian rebels!"
Yelu said with a smile again.
Old Alutai glared and said, "Master Yelu, you have been deceived. Can you believe the Han people's report on the case? They are all colluding with each other. You are the Darughachi of my Mulan people, not the Darughachi of the Han people. You have to make the decision for us!"
Old Alutai looked at Yelu and said, "Uncle Alutai, you are wrong. I am not a Han Darughachi, nor am I a Mulan Darughachi. I am a Daqian Darughachi, and I must abide by the laws of Daqian!"
"Isn't Daqian our Mulan people? So if you help us Mulan people, you are abiding by the laws of Daqian?"
Old Aluta looked at Yelu and said. Yelu remained expressionless when he heard this, but he cursed the old fox in his heart, "You are trying to make trouble for me, right? What's the difference? The difference is whether I give the interests of Nanhu to you or keep them for myself."
Is it possible for me to not make a choice in my mind?
Yelu said, "Uncle Alutai, I understand your feelings, but as the Daqian Darughachi, I must enforce the law impartially. I cannot give up my adherence to the laws of Daqian just because of your intimidation. Therefore, everything depends on evidence. You said that the murderer is Chen Jiusi, do you have any evidence?"
Alutai said: "I have..."
Yelu said: "Oh, let's not talk about those two lying servants. In fact, I can ask Tara's mother to tell us what happened yesterday and see who is the murderer."
"Master Yelu, why are you helping the Han people to embarrass us, the Mulan people?"
Alutai frowned. Yelu looked at Alutai and said, "Uncle Alutai, I am not biased towards anyone. I only believe in evidence. Mianshui County Magistrate Tang Wannian is here too. Let him tell us who the murderer is!"
Yelu gave Qimuge a look, and Qimuge immediately said, "Yes, I'll go find someone right away."
Soon Qimugege called Tang Wannian in, followed by Wu Hong.
When old Aluta saw Wu Hong, his brows immediately frowned, and his heart skipped a beat, knowing that this guy was not capable of telling a lot of lies.
"Your humble servant Tang Wannian (Wu Hong) greets Lord Yelu!"
The two saluted.
Yelu looked at the two of them and said, "Well, thank you both for your help. This is what's going on. Uncle Alutai, I don't know who the murderer is who killed the entire Tara family this time. You are the county magistrate and the chief of police. This matter is under your jurisdiction. Tell me, who is the murderer in this case!"
"Yes!"
The two of them agreed. At this time, Tang Wannian clasped his fists and said, "Master Yelu, this investigation was led by Captain Wu Hong. This county only learned about it later, so let Captain Wu Hong speak."
After hearing this, Wu Hong clasped his fists and said, "Okay, let me tell you something. After receiving the report, our county government immediately dispatched troops, and I also rushed to the scene as soon as possible. According to the situation at the scene, the murderer who killed Tara was a master swordsman."
"With a sword?"
Yelu looked at old Aluta, and Chen Jiusi was using a gun.
Old Alutai said: "That could be Chen Jiusi in disguise!"
Wu Hong said: "It is impossible. I checked the traces left by the sword technique. There are many places where it can be seen that it was done by the sword energy. Therefore, the enemy's strength should be at the level of Huajin. He must be a master of Huajin swordsmanship!"
Old Alutai: "Chen Jiusi is Hua Jin!"
Wu Hong continued, "And judging from the footprints left at the scene, the murderer should be a woman, and there are two of them. And they were wearing the same size shoes, so we can infer that they are of similar height and weight. This is not something a man would leave behind."
"This……"
Old Aluta paused, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Wu Hongdao followed closely and said, "In addition, the murderer also left handwriting at the scene. I copied it down. You see, the handwriting is beautiful. It is obviously a woman's calligraphy, not written by Chen Jiusi. You see, this is the handwriting of Chen Jiusi that I found. You can send someone to identify it by the handwriting."
Yelu said: "Well, I know a little bit about handwriting, and this is definitely not written by one person."
"Finally, I feel that it is strange that the family of the deceased has not shown up for such a serious case, so I think we can ask the mother of the deceased to find out the truth."
Wu Hong looked at Yelu and said.
Yelu glanced at old Aluta and saw that his face was blue and purple. He laughed secretly in his heart, did you not expect that this kid would really dare to argue with you?
But we still have to take care of the old guy's face and not go too far.
Thinking of this, Yelu cleared his throat and said, "Well, I understand, Magistrate Tang."
"The humble position is here."
"Take Wu Hong down."
"Yes."
Tang Wannian led Wu Hong downstairs. At this time, Yelu turned around and looked at Old Alutai and said, "Uncle Alu, why are you doing this? You have to wrongly accuse Chen Jiusi and ignore the real murderer. The Tara family who died in this way will not be at peace even when they see Changshengtian."
Alutai said: "Master Yelu, you are the patron saint of the Mulan people. The safety of the Mulan people depends entirely on you, Master Yelu. I hope you can help us get justice."
Yelu said: "You can seek justice, but Chen Jiusi is not the murderer."
Alutai said: "That's because he is your man, Master Yelu, but you should know that we are Mulan people, descendants of the Khan."
Yelu said: "Now we call him His Majesty the Emperor, not the Great Khan."
"What emperor? That's a conspiracy of the Han people. If we call him emperor, the Khan won't allow us to massacre the Han people. If we call him emperor, the Khan will allow the Han people to ride on our heads!"
Aluta was extremely angry. His plan had failed and it was obvious that Yelu would not be able to help him get rid of Chen Jiusi.
So he was venting his dissatisfaction.
After hearing this, Yelu looked at old Alutai and said, "Uncle Alutai, I am really sad to hear you say this, but I want to tell you that the Han people are no longer the Han people we can slaughter at will. Now we should be more friendly to the Han people. I don't know if you know that Lord Boyan has been impeached by Tuotuo, and His Majesty intends to dismiss him. Lord Tuotuo is pro-Han, which means we should have a good relationship with the Han people!"
“Haha, even if Lord Boyan is dismissed and Lord Tuotuo takes over, it is impossible for me to have a good relationship with the Han dogs. I cannot be friends with the incompetent Han people. I must be superior to them!”
Old Aluta roared excitedly.
The national pride in his heart would not allow him to bow to the incompetent Han people. Yelu looked at old Aluta and felt helpless about his stubbornness.
However, the situation cannot be changed. This was done by the Zoroastrians. What does it have to do with Chen Jiusi?
Yelu immediately issued an order to post arrest warrants throughout the city to capture the Zoroastrian evildoers, and not to let any bad guy go.
But old Aluta was persuaded to retreat.
When the Mulan people asked about the situation today, old Alutai gritted his teeth and said, "Yelü favors the Han people, which is really unfair, but I have decided to get back the ground for us Mulan people and never let the Han people suppress us, otherwise we will not be able to survive in Mianshui County in the future."
After hearing this, the people of Mulan also shared a common hatred for the enemy. Now that the Darughachis all favored the Han people, they had to suppress the Han people. Otherwise, how could they have a good life in the future?
Thinking of this, a group of people gathered together and thought about how to suppress the Han people, especially Chen Jiusi. They had to target him and suppress him.
Then a piece of gossip was brought up by them that Chen Jiusi seemed to be planning to hold a funeral in Baihu Hall to commemorate the twenty-eight heroes of their Baihu Hall.
In recent days, the news that Chen Jiusi spent one thousand taels to buy twenty-eight high-quality golden nanmu coffins for his subordinates has spread throughout Mianshui County. Which boss is willing to spend so much money to buy high-quality coffins for his subordinates?
Moreover, it is said that on the day of the funeral, the body will be taken around half a circle of the city, and finally exit from the East Gate and be buried in the green mountains.
"What? Chen Jiusi held such a grand funeral for a group of lowly Han guards and named them the Twenty-Eight Heroes. How can they be called heroes? No, we must suppress them."
After listening to the reports from the surrounding Mulan people, Old Alutai stood up and said, "No, we must suppress them. We will also hold a funeral, and it will be more grand than theirs. They, the Han people, can be called heroes, but our Tara brothers are even more heroes. We will also hold a funeral."
After hearing this, a Mulan man said, "But, but we don't have the custom of burying the dead?"
Yes, the Mulan people do not have the custom of burial, so they do not know the rules of burial. Old Alutai said: "It is not important. If you don't have it, go and learn it. Find the most famous Feng Shui master in the city and tell him that we are going to hold a grand funeral. By the way, when will Chen Jiusi and his family hold their funeral?"
A herdsman said, "Three days later."
"Then let's go around the city once in three days instead of half a circle. We must let everyone in the city know that we, the Mulan people, have the final say in Mianshui County!"
Old Aluta roared angrily. This time he must defeat Chen Jiusi. This is a battle of dignity!
……
At Chen Jie's residence, Chen Jie was practicing palm techniques comfortably in the yard. He was very peaceful now as all the plans had been set up and he only had to wait for the opportunity to close the net.
But now he had some free time, so he could practice boxing.
Just when Chen Jie was practicing martial arts peacefully, Xiao Hu rushed in, saw Chen Jie practicing martial arts, did not disturb him, but ran over to take the teapot, and filled himself up with water through the spout.
Chen Jie looked back and saw Xiao Hu sweating profusely. He said, "Drink slowly."
Xiao Hu said, "Haha, Brother Jiu Si, we have completed the task you requested. Han He said that they will tell us the location of the recipe once the items leave the city."
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Well, I'm not afraid that they will cheat."
"By the way, sir, our behavior over the past two days has aroused Nan Batian's suspicion, and he has sent people to the coffin shop to investigate us."
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Oh, it seems they are not stupid. Unfortunately, what they can find out are all what we want them to find out. Haha, this time, Nan Batian, I will kill you!"
