Chapter 174 The funeral begins, Nan Batian is full of confidence (Subscribe)

The headquarters of the fishing gang.

Nan Batian is now in a state of panic. Ever since he was framed by Chen Jie, he has been searching the whole city for the location of this gang of Zoroastrian thieves with his brothers from the Fishing Gang.

They turned almost the entire city upside down, but they still couldn't find the Zoroastrian monster, nor did they find the whereabouts of the so-called weapons.

At this time, Nan Batian was so anxious that he was running around all over the place and had no time to care about other things. This made Huang Wan'er in the backyard feel much more at ease.

However, the entire fishing gang was in a tense atmosphere, because they had been searching for two days and had almost searched the entire Mianshui County, but found nothing. The time given by the Darughachi Mansion was only thirteen days.

Nan Batian is so anxious.

But he was powerless. Just when Nan Batian was scratching his head, not knowing what to do, Tang Ziyue found Nan Batian.

"I've met the gang leader!"

Tang Ziyue bowed to Nan Batian, who said, "Ziyue, it's already this late, why are you still going through all this red tape? Hurry up, I'm almost dying of worry!"

"Don't worry, Gang Leader. Ziyue is here to help you solve your problems."

"Oh, Ziyue knows that I am sad?"

Nan Batian's eyes lit up immediately, and Tang Ziyue smiled and said, "Of course I know what the leader is worried about, but is it because of the fact that Darughachi asked you to arrest the Zoroastrians and confiscate the rebels' weapons?"

Nan Batian said: "Yes, yes, you were away these two days, I was very worried. By the way, Ziyue, where have you been these two days?"

Tang Ziyue said: "I walked around the Mian River to investigate some situations."

"Oh, what did you find?"

Nan Batian asked, and Tang Ziyue looked at Nan Batian and said, "Boss, you have sent thousands of people to search for the Zoroastrian rebels in the past few days. Did you get any results?"

After hearing this, Nan Batian said with a bitter face: "Nothing was gained."

Tang Ziyue asked: "Where did the leader search?"

Nan Batian said: "We have searched every street and alley in the city, but found nothing!"

After hearing this, Tang Ziyue said, "If that's the case, the leader hasn't discovered the problem yet?"

"What's the problem?"

Nan Batian looked at Tang Ziyue in confusion. Tang Ziyue opened the folding fan in his hand and said, "Boss, no gain is the biggest gain. Don't worry, let's analyze it first."

"Analyze what?"

Tang Ziyue said: "Analysis, which places in this city have you not searched?"

Nan Batian said: "We have confiscated and checked. They are from major families, government offices, and gangs. There are quite a lot of places."

Tang Ziyue said: "So, Zoroastrianism is likely to cooperate with these people in these places."

"Oh, yes, Mr. Tang, please sit down first!"

Nan Batian was about to get up when he saw this. Tang Ziyue asked, "Wait, where are you going, boss?"

Nan Batian said: "Take people to search all these places!"

Tang Ziyue shook his head and said, "Boss, you are confused. Can you check these places?"

"Which of these places that have not been investigated is not complicated and connected, and which one does not have a backer? If you rush to investigate like this, won't you offend everyone? Even if you find something by then, you will lose the support of the people, and the loss will outweigh the gain. Moreover, I guess they have already made preparations, and even if you search, you will not find anything."

Nan Batian sat down after hearing this, frowned and said, "Well, it can't be collected, so why are you saying this?"

Tang Ziyue said: "Boss, you can't be impatient to accomplish great things. In fact, if we change our thinking, we can also get useful information."

"for example?"

Tang Ziyue fanned himself with a fan, then took a sip of tea from the table and said, "Why does Zoroastrianism want to make weapons?"

"Support the war in the North!"

Nan Batian said, the northern rebels are fighting fiercely, everyone knows that they are not making weapons to support the war in the north, so are they just for show? This question is really funny!
Tang Ziyue said: "Yes, to support the war in the North. So, Boss, how is the war in the North going now?"

Nan Batian said: "The Zoroastrianism is still quite powerful. They are fighting back and forth with the Mulan people, and now it is a stalemate."

Tang Ziyue said, "Yes, it's a stalemate. Boss, the North is in great need of weapons right now. The weapons made by the Zoroastrians must be used to support the North. They can't afford to delay. If they delay for a month or two, plus the transportation in between, it will take more than half a year for these weapons to reach the North. Then, these weapons will lose their meaning."

"This is something that Zoroastrianism absolutely cannot tolerate. Therefore, I guess that Zoroastrianism should be very anxious now."

"Urgent? They are anxious, but I am more anxious!"

Nan Batian muttered, and Tang Ziyue said, "Boss, now we have to see who can keep their composure, and if they are anxious, there will definitely be loopholes."

"Flaw? What flaw?"

Nan Batian immediately became interested. Tang Ziyue said, "Boss, it's urgent. They need to find a way to transport the weapons out of the city, and they can't delay. They need to transport them out within half a month at least, so that they can catch up with the war in the north and play the role of these weapons. In other words, if they want to take action, they must do so within the next half a month."

Nan Batian nodded after hearing this, and left the city in half a month. Then, due to delays on the way, it took him about one or two months to reach the north, just in time for the large-scale decisive battle between the rebels and the Mulan people.

Tang Ziyue said, "Now the entire Mianshui County is under martial law. The government officials, the Yelu Mansion guards, and all the big and small sects in our city have sent people to the four city gates. With such guards, the Zoroastrians will definitely not be able to force their way in. Moreover, their followers who are transporting goods have also been captured by the Darughachi. In other words, if they want to leave the city, they must ask for help."

"Boss, what forces do you think are capable of transporting large quantities of goods out of this city right now?"

Tang Ziyue asked.

After hearing this, Nan Batian said: "That's a lot, our fishing gang, the shipping gang, Old Sun's Shunfeng Escort Agency, and..."

"Chen Jiusi from the White Tiger Hall!"

Tang Ziyue laughed, and Nan Batian said, "Yes, Chen Jiusi can also be chosen."

Tang Ziyue said, "I have done nothing else these days except investigating one thing. I found that now, no matter if it is our fishing gang or the shipping gang, let alone Old Sun's Shunfeng Escort Agency, everything leaving the city must be unpacked and inspected. No one can be exempted. This means that even if the Zoroastrians find us, it will be difficult to transport the weapons out of the city."

"Yeah, so what's the point of you saying this?"

Tang Ziyue said: "But Boss, there is one person who can do it. No need to check when leaving the city!"

"Who?"

Nan Batian frowned. Tang Ziyue slowly said a name: "Chen Jiusi!"

"Chen Jiusi? Why doesn't he need to be checked?"

Nan Batian frowned. What was so special about Chen Jiusi? Why didn’t he need to be checked?

Tang Ziyue looked at Nan Batian and frowned slightly. Even after talking to this point, you still don’t understand?

Ordinary goods need to be inspected, but there is one thing you cannot inspect!

Tang Ziyue said: "Boss, have you forgotten that Chen Jiusi will have a funeral in three days?"

Nan Batian was stunned and said, "Funeral, I know, what's wrong?"

Tang Ziyue frowned even deeper. Did he have to make everything clear?

As a scholar, he loves to play riddles because it makes him look very classy. It is a little quirk of a scholar.

Nan Batian said: "What do you want to say?"

Tang Ziyue said: "Funeral, coffins, boss, there is no need to check the coffins leaving the city. Chen Jiusi can hide these weapons in the coffins and transport them out of the city!"

"Yes! The coffin! That's right. Who would check someone else's coffin, especially the coffin of the hero of the White Tiger Hall? It was also the coffin that Lord Yelu personally instructed and agreed to hold the funeral. If it was checked, wouldn't it be a mortal enemy with Chen Jiusi and a slap in Lord Yelu's face? Who would be so stupid as to check Chen Jiusi's coffin?"

"If that's the case, we can really use coffins to carry weapons, and then we can conceal it and smuggle it out of the city!"

Thinking of this, Nan Batian said: "Well, you Chen Jiusi, you are so bold as to help Zoroastrianism transport military equipment. This time, I don't think you will die!"

Nan Batian stood up and said, "Someone come here."

Seeing this, Tang Ziyue immediately asked, "Boss, what are you going to do?"

"Gather the troops and search the White Tiger Hall. I will definitely catch him in the act this time!"

Tang Ziyue said, "Boss, how can you capture him like this? Besides, there are still three days before the funeral, and there are many variables in between. Chen Jiusi is so cunning that he probably won't hide the weapons in the White Tiger Hall. If we capture him now, we will most likely alert the enemy and gain nothing, so we can't do that."

Nan Batian frowned upon hearing this and said, "That won't do. Are we just going to watch Chen Jiusi transport the weapons out of the city, and then we'll be blamed and punished by Yelu?"

Tang Ziyue said: "Of course we can't do that, Gang Leader, if we want to be most certain, we need to be fair and aboveboard so that he won't be able to defend himself."

"So I think that the gang leader needs to do two things now. First, report this matter to Yelu. Second, maintain the intensity of the street search to prevent Chen Jiusi from getting suspicious. Third, intercept him at the city gate on the day of the funeral and open the coffin in public so that his despicable behavior will have nowhere to hide. In this way, he must die!"

After hearing this, Nan Batian fell silent. Did he have to tell Darughachi?

"Are you sure about this news?"

Nan Batian looked at Tang Ziyue and asked the question that concerned him most, which was, is this news accurate?

Don’t let him report to Lord Yelu, and then, after checking, Chen Jiusi is found to be innocent, which would make him look so incompetent!
Tang Ziyue looked at Nan Batian and said, "Boss, there is no such thing as foolproof information in this world. But Boss, I have investigated this matter for two days and can basically confirm that Chen Jiusi has the opportunity to transport the weapons without inspection within these fifteen days."

"And only Chen Jiusi has the ability to transport this batch of weapons."

Nan Batian frowned and said, "He is really so bold as to collude with Zoroastrianism. If Yelu knew about this, his life might be in danger!"

Tang Ziyue asked: "Boss, you have been in contact with him for such a long time, do you find that he is a coward?"

"He went from being a nobody in Xiantao Village to Mianshui County. He first broke into Yihonglou and rescued his sister by himself. Then he fought against Feng San of the Beggar Gang, killed Zheng Chuan, and defeated Feng Xuan. In just one year, he went from having nothing to becoming the third most important gang figure in Mianshui County. Do you think he is a coward?"

"Fortune and honor are sought through risk, and Chen Jiusi never lacks the courage to take a gamble."

"And his behavior is also very abnormal. Those 28 guards were loyal to him, but he made such a big fuss about his funeral, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't know about it. What is this? This is called being in the dark under the lamp. No one would have thought that he would transport the military equipment that was strictly under the imperial court's control out of the city under such a high-profile environment, right?"

"Also, I checked the batch of coffins he asked the coffin shop to make. The internal space of the coffin is very large. If it is filled with weapons, it can hold a lot. Normal coffins don't need to be so deep."

"And did you discover his route?"

"Start from the West City, go around the city halfway, exit from the East Gate, and then enter Qingshankou. Where is it after passing Qingshankou?"

Tang Ziyue asked Nan Batian, who was stunned when he heard it and said, "Xiantao Village, Xiantao Village Ferry?"

Hearing this, Tang Ziyue nodded vigorously and said, "These weapons can be transported directly to Xiantao Ferry, and then directly transported north along the Mianshui River. Moreover, Xiantao Ferry is the White Tiger Hall's lair. Gang leader, take another look at this!"

Tang Ziyue handed Nan Batian a piece of paper. Nan Batian looked at it and frowned, "What is this?"

Tang Ziyue said: "These days, the number of boats at Xiantao Ferry has doubled compared to usual. Although their dispatch schedule is very secretive, they can't hide it from me. The number of boats has doubled!"

After hearing this, Nan Batian said, "What a meticulous plan. Using the coffin as a cover, we can transport the weapons to Qingshankou, then take a boat to Xiantao Ferry and head directly north."

"Chen Jiusi is really insidious!"

Nan Batian felt that this matter was almost certain and the plan was quite meticulous. If Tang Ziyue hadn't pointed it out, he would never have dreamed that Chen Jie would actually think of using coffins to transport military equipment.

He would not think that Chen Jie would use such a grand funeral to plan such a big plan. He would only think that Chen Jie held such a grand funeral for the purpose of humiliating him. Yes, to humiliate him.

Although Chen Jiusi did not kill the 28 people who died this time, he could not escape the responsibility and could be considered as an indirect killer. Chen Jie wanted to hold such a grand funeral and made it very lively. Nan Batian instinctively felt that he was embarrassing himself.

But who could have imagined that he was repairing the plank road here in the open while secretly marching through Chencang?

On the surface, they held a funeral, but secretly, they used 28 coffins of the dead to smuggle the weapons out of the city in a way that concealed the truth. If you think about it carefully, everyone's attention was attracted by these 28 large golden nanmu coffins that day. They watched the coffins paraded through the streets and finally carried out of the city in a swagger.

If this plan succeeds, you, Chen Jiusi, will be so complacent. He has concealed it from everyone in the entire Mianshui County. He has made a fool of himself and Yelu!

hateful!

He was so insidious, so cunning that I almost fell into his trap. Fortunately, I had Zi Yue as my military advisor, who could see through his despicable schemes and prevent him from realizing his plans.

Besides, this is also a chance for me. Chen Jiusi is not easy to deal with!

He is deeply bound to Yelu, and if anyone wants to deal with him, Yelu will come out to get in the way.

But if things go well this time, he will be dead. For colluding with the Zoroastrian evildoers, just for this reason, how many heads does Chen Jiusi have to chop off?
Moreover, Yelu could tolerate many things, but he would never tolerate collusion with Zoroastrianism.

By then, Chen Jiusi will be disgraced, and I can kill him calmly to relieve the hatred in my heart!

Thinking of this, Nan Batian looked at Tang Ziyue and said, "Ziyue, what do you say about me going to the Darughachi Mansion now and exposing Chen Jiusi?"

Tang Ziyue said: "Okay, but Darughachi may not believe it."

"Ok?"

Nan Batian looked at Tang Ziyue in confusion. Tang Ziyue said, "Our previous thoughts were all speculations, and Chen Jiusi is a person that Lord Yelu values. If there is no real evidence, Lord Yelu will not agree to touch Chen Jiusi. So if you expose it now, it will have the same effect as if you expose it three days later."

Nan Batian narrowed his eyes and said, "I understand. To catch someone in bed is to catch him dirty!"

Tang Ziyue said: "That's exactly the truth."

Nan Batian said: "But I can't help but want to inform Darughachi. Do you think if I go, will it alert the enemy?"

Tang Ziyue said, "You are worrying too much, Boss. Although it is just speculation, our reasoning is perfect. Lord Yelu wants the Zoroastrian thieves and weapons, so he will not alert them and will just watch from the sidelines. When the time comes, Boss, you can arrest the man and the culprits! It will also be more in line with Yelu's wishes."

Nan Batian said: "Okay, if that's the case, then I will go find Yelu. This time, Chen Jiusi must be disgraced and die without a burial place, only then can I relieve the hatred in my heart!"

After saying this, Nan Batian ordered his men to prepare fast horses and go to Yelu Mansion to report.

Tang Ziyue watched Nan Batian leave in a hurry, so he tidied up the account book he had given to Nan Batian, his eyes full of provocation, "Chen Jiusi, our war has begun again."

That’s right, last time, he had a fight with Chen Jie in the woods, and ended up having his underwear seen through by Chen Jiusi.

He was even exposed by Chen Jiusi on the spot, which hit him hard.

As a strategist, he enjoys a battle of wits. Every time he crushes his opponent in terms of intelligence, he reaches an indescribable climax. The pleasure of watching the enemy being vulnerable to his wisdom is something that cannot be given by force.

He has always believed in the idea that the brain controls the hands and feet.

Even though Nan Batian seems to be invincible and the best in Mianyang River, many of his policies were formulated by Tang Ziyue, and Tang Ziyue was indispensable in his planning.

Tang Ziyue is his think tank.

And Tang Ziyue always thought that he was the one commanding Nan Batian.

He is the number one think tank in Mianyang River. When it comes to wisdom, he is afraid of no one.

But last time, he was taught a good lesson by Chen Jiusi. The plan for Xiantao Ferry was almost flawless, but it was stripped to pieces by Chen Jie, leaving even his underwear exposed.

That time, Tang Ziyue kept this incident in mind. Chen Jiusi, I must beat you this time. I must ask for an explanation for my IQ!
Don't you like playing Gobang? This time, let's see how you can beat me! I'll play with you till the end!
……

Chen Mansion! Hey~hey~hey!
Chen Jie took the chess piece in his hand and jumped it quickly on the chessboard. After three consecutive jumps, he finally successfully occupied the chessboard of Ruirui on the opposite side.

Ruirui saw this and said with a dark face: "Bad brother-in-law, how come you won again!"

Chen Jie laughed and said, "Because I'm an adult, and adults can lose when playing hopscotch."

Ruirui pouted. At this time, Si Xi walked in and said to Chen Jie, "Master."

Chen Jie looked at him, then said to Ruirui: "Well, Ruirui, go play with Sun Yong."

Chen Jie handed the chessboard to Ruirui, who said, "Brother-in-law, wait for me to practice. Once I learn how to play, I will definitely beat you!"

Chen Jie said: "Okay, you learn it first."

At this time Chen Jie stood up and walked towards the study not far away with Si Xi.

"Master, just as you expected, Tang Ziyue indeed sent people to investigate the accounts of our boat movements on the Mianshui River. We also followed the plan and gave him the fake records, making him mistakenly believe that we had moved twice as many boats."

Chen Jie laughed and said, "Well, I knew he would investigate. By the way, did Nan Batian go to Yelu Mansion?"

"Master, you know all this?"

Si Xi looked at Chen Jie in surprise. Chen Jie said, "And I also know what he will say to Yelu!"

Si Xi looked at Chen Jie, and Chen Jie said, "Don't believe it?"

Si Xi said, "I don't believe it."

Chen Jie said: "If you don't believe it, forget it, but the illusion spread outside must continue to be in place."

"Don't worry, our people have already made arrangements, and have deliberately left many loopholes."

Chen Jie heard this and said, "Haha, that's good. We can't let our gang leader and Mr. Tang down!"

"By the way, how is Hu Zi doing?"

Si Xi heard this and said, "Hey, Brother Hu Zi has been complaining these past two days. Watching the city gate is tiring and boring. He has complained several times these days."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Haha, tell the kitchen staff to send more delicious food to these people, but don't send them any wine."

"This job is really boring. We can't let them waste their time. Besides, we don't even care about having a full meal. Don't deprive them of food and drink."

"It's the Hall Master, I understand."

Si Xi agreed. After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Well, that's good."

After saying that, Chen Jie came to the study, checked the time and said, "There are less than three days left. When the time comes, Nan Batian, I will ask you to kneel down and apologize to my brothers!"

……

Yelu Mansion!
Yelu had just finished his meal and was lying on the couch to enjoy the cool air. A group of twin maids were holding large fans in their hands and were gently fanning Yelu. The cool breeze was very enjoyable for Yelu. There were also two maids beside him, holding ice cheese in their hands and feeding Yelu mouthful by mouthful with a silver spoon.

When it comes to enjoying life, our Darughachi knows how to do it very well. His ancestors were prime ministers for three dynasties and were highly favored.

Moreover, they advocate sinicization, so naturally they have studied many etiquettes of the Han people and naturally enjoy the same enjoyments as the Han people.

When it comes to enjoyment, you must not forget that the previous dynasty was the Zhao Song Dynasty, which was the ceiling of the world of enjoyment. The level of enjoyment, to some extent, was not inferior to that of modern people.

If you don’t believe it, you can take a look at the Qingming Festival Along the River, which almost contains the prosperous street scenes of Tokyo Bianliang.

When Yelu was enjoying his wonderful life, Qimuge suddenly rushed back into the house, clasped his fists towards Yelu and said, "Sir, Nan Batian wants to see you."

Yelu paused for a moment after hearing this, then looked at Qimuge and asked, "Why is he here?"

Qimuge said: "He said he had something important to report."

Yelu said, "Did he catch the Zoroastrians?"

Qimuge said: "I don't know, but it seems that he knows something."

Yelu heard this and said, "Haha, interesting. OK, in that case, let him in."

After hearing this, Qimuge immediately went to pass on the message, and soon Nan Batian came in and clasped his fists and said, "I am Nan Batian, your subordinate, and I am honored to meet Lord Yelu."

Yelu glanced at Nan Batian and said, "Why are you here when you're not out there catching the Zoroastrian demons?"

"Master Yelu, I am here to report this to you."

Yelu frowned and looked at Nan Batian and said, "Oh, do you have any news about Zoroastrianism?"

Nan Batian said: "Yes."

Yelu's relaxed expression relaxed, and he waved away his attendants, saying, "Go get some ice cream for Gang Leader Nan. It's so hot, thank you for taking the trouble to come here."

After hearing this, Nan Batian immediately clasped his fists and said, "This is my duty."

Nan Batian's attitude now is extremely submissive, and he always mentions his subordinates in every word.

Yelu looked at him and said, "Boss Nan is great. Tell me, what's going on?"

Nan Batian said: "Lord Yelu, I think I have found the weapons."

"Oh, tell me more specifically."

Yelu became more alert, and Nan Batian said, "But this subordinate is just a guess, I dare not guarantee it, but once I have an idea, I will report it to you immediately and let you know."

"Please forgive me if there are any mistakes."

Upon hearing this, Yelu looked at Nan Batian and said, "Haha, tell me, don't worry about anything."

After hearing this, Nan Batian said: "Then I can speak freely. I think the one who colluded with Zoroastrianism is Chen Jiusi..."

"Chen Jiusi?"

Yelu was surprised and frowned.

"Yes."

Nan Batian repeated what Tang Ziyue said. After listening, Yelu looked at Nan Batian and said, "Oh, is that what you want to say? It does make sense, but Chen Jiusi's funeral was told to me in advance, and I agreed."

"But based on what you said, I didn't expect that he had evil intentions. But Gang Leader Nan, are you sure about this? Don't misunderstand Jiu Si!"

Yelu looked at Nan Batian and said.

Nan Batian clasped his fists and said, "Sir, if I wasn't more than 80% sure, I wouldn't dare come to you to talk about this matter."

Yelu narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, and thought about it. After thinking for a while, he looked at Nan Batian and said, "What do you want to do?"

Nan Batian said: "Of course, I will catch the adulterer in bed. I plan to block Chen Jiusi on his way to the funeral in three days, and then pry open his coffin on the road. This way, he will have nowhere to hide, and his evil face will be exposed to the public. When the time comes, I will ask Lord Yelu to take charge of the situation."

Yelu heard this and said, "Okay, what Gang Leader Nan said is very true. Let's do as you say. When the time comes, we will pry open his coffin and see if there are any weapons of the Zoroastrianism in it. If there are, I will make the decision. After Chen Jiusi is arrested, you can deal with him. You can kill him or chop him up, it's up to you!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Batian clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, sir. I will certainly not be dissatisfied with your trust."

Seeing Nan Batian like this, Yelu smiled and said, "Okay, then everything will be done according to what Gang Leader Nan said. Don't worry, if this thing is done, I will not treat you unfairly. If Chen Jiusi really colluded with Zoroastrianism, then his White Tiger Hall will not need to be independent. I will decide to assign the White Tiger Hall to your Fisherman's Gang."

"Thank you, sir."

After hearing this, Nan Batian was really happy. It was an unexpected gain. The transfer of Baihutang to Yu Gang was a big deal. He had been troubled by Baihutang over the years. One of his goals was to take back Baihutang, obtain all the rights of Yu Gang and become the largest gang in the true sense of Mianshui.

Now, as long as Chen Jiusi is dealt with, all power will be back.

Thinking of this, Nan Batian was so excited that he almost shouted out, but just when he was most excited, Nan Batian said: "Well, Gang Leader Nan has been very busy recently. By the way, I heard that Gang Leader Nan has a very good relationship with the Tongpan in the mansion."

Nan Batian was stunned when he heard this, then his face froze and he looked at Yelu.

He didn't expect that Yelu even knew about the situation between him and Huangzhou Prefecture.

Huangzhou Prefecture is also the place that Nan Batian has been trying to curry favor with recently. Mianshui County is under the jurisdiction of Huangzhou Prefecture, and there are also officials within the city of Huangzhou Prefecture.

The most important one among them was naturally the Darughachi sent by the Mulan people, followed by the Huangzhou prefect. Under the prefect there were two major assistants, whose positions were equivalent to deputy prefects, and one was the Tongpan.

The other one is the garrison commander!

Nan Batian had been severely suppressed by Yelu some time ago, so he had to seek help from outside. Therefore, he found the Tongpan of Huangzhou Prefecture and gave him a large sum of silver as a filial piety. Unexpectedly, this little thing was known to Yelu.

However, such behavior is a taboo in the officialdom. It is considered as betrayal. Thinking of this, Nan Batian immediately clasped his fists and said, "Sir, it's a misunderstanding. The judge and I..."

Unexpectedly, Yelu said, "No need to explain. I don't want to know about your affairs with the judge. But I want to tell you that although the judge of Huangzhou Prefecture is a slave of Boyan, Boyan is about to fall. Even if Boyan doesn't come to power, my Yelu family is not afraid of them. Our Yelu family has stood in Daqian for more than a hundred years. My ancestors were prime ministers for three dynasties and have a deep foundation in the court. Although I can't interfere in the court now, I'm afraid no one will give me face when dealing with a martial arts sect."

"So, Gang Leader Nan, I hope you understand that in Mianshui County, my words still count. If you want to live a good life in Mianshui County, I will help you. But if you do something that betrays you, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"My subordinates dare not!"

After hearing this, Nan Batian fell to his knees. He was really scared at this time. Yelu's beating made him feel cold all over.

Some of the little thoughts that he shouldn't have had were instantly silenced, and Yelu was deliberately trying to warn him. Chen Jiusi was originally Yelu's chess piece to balance Nan Batian, but now this chess piece showed signs of being out of control. Yelu could only warn Nan Batian to let him know what the real situation was and who was in charge of Mianshui County.

Yelu looked at Nan Batian and said with a smile: "Haha, Gang Leader Nan, why are you kneeling down? You and I are friends discussing religion. Although we are superiors and subordinates, I treat you as a friend. I just said that to remind you. Sometimes people make mistakes when they are excited. This is not good."

After hearing this, Nan Batian said, "I will definitely go through fire and water for you, sir, without hesitation!"

Yelu said, "Well, I believe you. OK, go back and prepare. You must find this batch of weapons for me, okay? And Chen Jiusi is one thing, but we can't let our guard down in other aspects. If Chen Jiusi is not, then we will be passive. Don't let the Zoroastrian demon take advantage of us."

Upon hearing this, Nan Batian immediately promised: "I will definitely go all out and not let any Zoroastrian demon go."

"Okay, then I'll listen to Gang Leader Nan's good news."

After saying that, Yelu burst into laughter, and Nan Batian followed suit with a foolish smile. Then Yelu told him to see him off, and Nan Batian left with a cold sweat on his forehead.

This Yelu is so scary. He even knows that I have contacted the Tongpan of Huangzhou Prefecture. His network of relationships is too terrifying. Is there anything he doesn't know? These things are too scary. I can't let my guard down.

In addition, we cannot relax the matter of contacting Huangzhou Prefecture, we just need to be more cautious. After all, if we want to get rid of Yelu's control, we can only find a way from above. I, Nan Batian, can be your dog for a while, but I can't be your dog for the rest of my life.

Nan Batian thought, and then looked up at the sky. Wait, the funeral will be in three days. He will expose Chen Jiusi, kill Chen Jiusi, and take the White Tiger Hall into his possession. In this way, the power of the Fisherman Gang will be expanded, and he can find a way to deal with Yelu.

Haha, Chen Jiusi, I can’t wait to see you ruined and in despair!
……

Yelu Mansion, watching Nan Batian's back as he left, Qimuge walked out and said, "Master, Nan Batian is ambitious. Why did you promise him that you would give him the White Tiger Hall after Chen Jiusi fell? If he becomes stronger, won't he bite us back?"

Yelu squinted his eyes and said, "Alas, this is also a helpless move. If we want to keep Mianshui County running smoothly, we must use Han people to control Han people. Chen Jiusi was originally a good choice, but he was involved in the Zoroastrianism. If he can't be used, then we can only find Nan Batian and continue to use him. But a few days ago, my relationship with him became very tense, and I have to find a way to ease the relationship with him."

Qimuge heard this and said, "Master, are you saying that Chen Jiusi really colluded with Zoroastrianism? But what does he want?"

Yelu heard this and said, "I don't know about that, but Nan Batian's analysis just now is very thorough and reasonable. Chen Jiusi may indeed use this funeral to secretly transport the Zoroastrian weapons out of the city in the coffin."

"Before Nan Batian reminded me, I really overlooked this point. Now that I think about it, there is a far-reaching plan here."

Yelu said.

Qimuge said: "But I always feel that Chen Jiusi is not so stupid. The Zoroastrians are just like rats crossing the street in the South. If he colludes with the Zoroastrians, he will only bring trouble upon himself."

Yelu said: "I also feel suspicious, but some things are better to believe than not to believe. In state affairs, there can be no room for luck!"

Qimuge heard this and said, "What if Chen Jiusi is fine?"

Yelu said: "No problem, just keep using it."

"But if he knew we suspected him, he might have other thoughts, which would be detrimental to our control."

Qimuge put forward his own opinion. If Chen Jiusi knew that Yelu did not trust him, would he be unwilling to cooperate with Yelu?
Yelu laughed when he heard this and said, "Who said I don't trust him?"

"But what did you say to Nan Batian just now?"

Yelu said: "Yes, I asked Nan Batian to check Chen Jiusi's coffin. As for whether there are weapons in the coffin and whether Chen Jiusi was wrongly accused, it is all Nan Batian's business. What does it have to do with me? I didn't send anyone from our Yelu Mansion to pry open the coffin!"

"If it's not included here, haha, then it's Nan Batian's business, and it has nothing to do with us. Besides, I can also take this opportunity to vindicate Jiu Si. By then, even if Chen Jiu Si doesn't feel grateful to me, he can still resent me?"

"If this is the case, wouldn't it be unjust?"

Yelu looked at Qimuge and said, Qimuge heard this and thought, that's right, the ones who suspected you Chen Jiusi, the ones who wronged you Chen Jiusi, and the ones who wanted to pry open your Chen Jiusi's coffin were all Nan Batian, what does this have to do with our Lord Yelu, our Lord Yelu will not take the blame!
Therefore, whether this matter succeeds or not, Lord Yelu himself will not suffer any loss. The only ones who will suffer losses are Chen Jiusi or Nan Batian.

Let them fight each other.

"Haha, Master, you are indeed far-sighted!"

Yelu smiled but said nothing. It was just a small trick, not worth mentioning.

"However, this matter does need to be taken seriously. You led the Black Cavalry to collect weapons outside the city that day to prevent any problems. Although Chen Jiusi is young, he is not stupid. If he really understands Zoroastrianism, then we cannot take it lightly. If the weapons are really transported out of the city and become weapons for the northern rebels to use against the court, we will be in vain for the country."

Qimuge clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Master. I will make sure that not even a fly can fly out of Mianshui City that day!"

After hearing this, Yelu nodded and said, "That's good. Next, we have to see whether Chen Jiusi is a loyal or treacherous minister!"

A terrifying light shone from Yelu's eyes.

Chen Jiusi, ah, Chen Jiusi, I hope you won’t let me down, I really don’t want to destroy you with my own hands!

But if you really dare to collude with Zoroastrianism and oppose the imperial court, then I'm sorry, you will surely die.

So, let’s just wait until the funeral three days later!

……

In a blink of an eye, three days passed. Early this morning, white lanterns were hung outside the White Tiger Hall. In the main hall of the White Tiger Hall, twenty-eight large coffins were placed, and in the center, a wreath was arranged with a large word "甸" written on it.

The entire White Tiger Hall was filled with a solemn and sad atmosphere. A group of White Tiger Hall disciples, with white flowers on their arms, were busy running around.

The families of these heroes cried together in the hall.

Chen Jie was also hiding in the inner hall at this time, listening to the crying outside, tears streaming down his face.

At this time, Xiaohu rushed in, also wearing white flowers. When he arrived at the inner hall, Xiaohu said, "Everything is ready, and the weapons have been loaded into the coffin."

Chen Jiusi heard this and said, "Well, then open the door and welcome the guests!"

"Yes!"
