Chapter 36 Cicada, Mantis, Oriole(1/2)
Zheng Yixiang walked alone on the streets of Quanzhou Fucheng, hurriedly.
As a household in the Jinyiwei, who had accepted the orders of Chen Yanqing, although he had never thought that his luck would be so good. After just arriving in Zhangzhou Prefecture, he immediately received the news that his old rival Li Wujiu was poisoned and was in danger of his life, but Chen Wan'an was sent back to Zhangzhou Prefecture by Han Ran, but this obviously did not prevent him from immediately thinking about how to use this point to make a fuss.
Under his constant pressure, those Dongchang players who lost Li Wujiu, the leader, could not hold on after Li Wujiu died of poison. In order to ensure that Chen Wan'an's credit for being arrested were not separated by him, they proposed the conditions for exchange with Chen Wan'an's confession.
Without thinking, he agreed to the conditions of the Dongchang men.
Even if Li Wujiu died, Dongchang was still not easy to bully, and he did not dare to do too much. He just "utilized" the panic of these Dongchang players after Li Wujiu died. If he could get such great benefits, he would naturally stop when he saw the opportunity.
After that, he immediately led his subordinates to gallop along the way according to the information provided in the confession he received. In just three days, he ran hundreds of miles to reach Quanzhou Prefecture City.
However, although he knew from Chen Wan'an's confession that Mu Yixing was in Quanzhou Prefecture City and was the deputy leader of the Zhenhai Gang, after he led his men to arrive, he did not immediately go directly to arrest Mu Yixing as usual in the Jinyiwei's usual practice.
On the contrary, before he was about to arrive in Quanzhou Prefecture City, he specially ordered all his subordinates to scatter and sneak into Quanzhou Prefecture City to find out the news.
This is because he learned a lesson from Chen Wan'an.
Since Chen Wan'an, a wealthy businessman like Chen Wan'an, is just a middleman, then Mu Yixing, who is just the deputy leader of the Zhenhai Gang, can be the real mastermind?
He thought it very clearly that there must be another layer behind Mu Yixing, or even two layers of relationship, which can ultimately involve the real murderer behind the scenes.
Before, Li Wujiu suddenly acted and secretly captured Chen Wan'an and went to a small Qinxian Town. The news was leaked, attracting many assassins and killers, which shows that there are rich sources of information behind these people.
Therefore, if he came to catch people directly as the Jinyiwei this time, let alone whether he could catch people smoothly. Even if he could catch Mu Yixing smoothly, such a big movement would inevitably attract the attention of those people behind him, and those people would inevitably hide immediately.
Moreover, even Chen Wan'an, who was on the edge, attracted so many assassins and killers, and made a big noise in the open assassination at the gate of the city. He could imagine how much trouble it would cause after seizing Mu Yixing.
Then why not investigate quietly and then secretly arrest Mu Yixing? Moreover, maybe you can find out the information of the person behind Mu Yixing through Mu Yixing during the investigation.
Why not do it if you kill two birds with one stone?
But as the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes.
It was not enough that it had just arrived in Quanzhou Prefecture for two days, and Zheng Yixiang discovered that something seemed to be wrong.
Especially today, he had just left the inn where he stayed and came to the street, and he faintly noticed that there seemed to be a tail behind him.
Although he used the abortion, alleyways, and shops several times to try to get rid of these tails, every time, he was quickly targeted again.
This discovery undoubtedly made him feel more and more alert.
Although the Jinyiwei is an identity that is enough to shock many people, this time he chose to hide it. Moreover, since these people dared to attack the Dongchang team outside the gate of Zhangzhou Prefecture and even killed Li Wujiu, he had no doubt that these people would dare to kill him in Quanzhou Prefecture.
More importantly, this situation proves one thing:
Their roots and feet have long been exposed.
At this time, he felt a little regretful about the order he had been satisfied with yesterday.
However, there is no regret medicine in the world. After feeling the tail behind him again, Zheng Yixiang immediately threw away the regretful emotions behind him and began to think about what to do next.
He no longer considered the matter of continuing to find ways to get rid of the tail behind him.
The strong dragon does not suppress the local snake. After the other party already knew his identity and purpose, he had no way to get rid of these "local snakes" who were unknown in number and were extremely familiar with the situation in Quanzhou Prefecture City.
As for returning to the inn, it is even less of his option.
Doing this is like drawing a prison, and there is no help in the current situation.
The only option left is only one.
Zheng Yixiang looked up at the familiar building in front of her, sighed softly, with a little unwillingness and a strong helplessness on her face.
...
When Chao Wangtian saw those who were wearing soapy constables and those who were originally very familiar with smiles, but became extremely serious, appear in the Zhenhai Gang General Hall, he was nervous.
When he saw the figure wearing a big red flying fish suit and embroidered spring sword hanging on his waist after these detectives stopped their gang members, his uneasiness turned into complete despair.
In his opinion, the appearance of this Shenfei Fish Suit means that the nightmare has come true.
The factory guards who came before were really for him and Zhenhai Gang. He was afraid he would never have the chance to see the sun tomorrow again.
"Encyclopedia Wei, Chao Wangtian, where is your deputy leader Mu Yixing?"
But when the Jinyiwei, who was wearing a flying fish suit, spoke, Chao Wangtian, who had originally had his eyes no longer turned because of his despair, and there was no more anger on his face, could not help but turn his eyes slightly.
Wood is easy to move!
Could it be that these Jinyiwei came not for me, but for Mu Yixing?
"Ahem, Zheng Baihu, don't be angry. Let Xiaodi persuade him first to see if he can speak."
Seeing that Chao Wangtian seemed to have not heard Zheng Yixiang's inquiry, he was still standing there without any movement. The head of the constable standing behind Zheng Yixiang quickly coughed, approached Zheng Yixiang, and whispered, with a little flattery in his voice.
"Well. Don't waste time, let him speak as soon as possible."
Zheng Yixiang, who was originally angry at Chao Wangtian's "unaware of politeness", pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
He knew in his heart that his goal was Mu Yixing. What he needed now was to ask out Mu Yixing's whereabouts as soon as possible, rather than to argue with Chao Wangtian, who was like an ant in front of him.
Now Mu Yixing must have received the news. He must hurry up, otherwise it would be too late to catch Chao Wangtian and ask Mu Yixing's whereabouts.
"Old Chao, now is not the time to talk about loyalty in the world!"
The head of the constable Zheng Yixiang nodded and immediately pulled Chao Wangtian to walk a few steps away, whispering in a low voice.
He seemed to have a good relationship with Chao Wangtian, and he seemed to want to make some contributions with this "performance". Therefore, seeing that Chao Wangtian was still not moving, he couldn't help but feel anxious and continued to persuade him with great sincerity.
"If you are not careful, it will be the crime of raiding the family and extermination. If you know what you know, tell me. If the information you provide is useful, you will not only not be guilty this time, but you may also be able to make some contributions. You must be able to tell them clearly."
"really?!"
Chao Wangtian finally made some noise.
"When did I, Lao Qian, cheat you?"
Seeing that Chao Wangtian finally spoke, the Bantuo Qian was very happy, but immediately seemed to have been humiliated by Chao Wangtian, and asked back with great displeasure.
"Okay, if I can escape this disaster this time, I will definitely thank you very much."
"Hey, why should you and my brother be so disgusted?"
Although he said this, the smile on the face of Qian's Banting cannot be concealed.
"Zheng Baihu, Lao Chao has figured it out."
After saying politely to Chao Wangtian, he immediately turned his head and loudly reported the good news to Zheng Yixiang.
...
When Chao Wangtian took Zheng Yixiang toward the city gate, the many Jinyiwei who had received the orders of Zheng Yixiang immediately joined the team after seeing that Zheng Yixiang had recovered his identity. However, before they could walk out of the street where the Zhenhai Gang Hall was, they suddenly heard the shouts of killing and crying for help coming from not far away.
The expressions on everyone's faces changed.
"Hundred Houses, it seems to be..."
He has good ears, but he has heard that the cry for help seems to be made by their companions.
"Don't worry about him, keep moving forward, Chao Wangtian, speed up immediately."
But before Zheng Yixiang could finish his words, he interrupted him with a cold look on his face and ordered Chao Wangtian.
"Yes, the villain understands."
Although he was scared and shivered, Chao Wangtian responded immediately, and his feet urged his light skills to the extreme, and his speed was half faster, heading straight towards the direction of Santai Mountain.
No matter whether he could understand why Zheng Yixiang was asking for help from his subordinates, but ordered the acceleration of the Jinyiwei and constables, did not dare to say anything more, and followed silently.
...
"These emperors' hawks are so cruel. They clearly heard that their own people were being chased not far away, but they were not affected at all."
The spies under Mu Yixing who were lurking nearby to investigate the news couldn't help but scold their mother after seeing Zheng Yixiang and his party running towards Santai Mountain without any influence.
They were ordered by Mu Yixing to create chaos and trouble, and tried their best to stop Zheng Yixiang and others from the footsteps, but unexpectedly, they suffered huge setbacks at the beginning.
"Okay, if you have this time to curse, it's better to hurry up and make the next plan."
His companions were much more "dedicated" than him. Although they were both disappointed, they had no insults and were thinking about the next plan.
"The plan cannot be used to hold back their steps with the lives of the Jinyiwei scattered in the city, so we can only fill in the lives of the people."
But after hearing his companion talk about the so-called next plan, his temper became increasingly irritable.
"Star Lord's order is like this. Do you still want to disobey the order?"
"I didn't say I wanted to disobey the order."
Hearing his companion's questioning with warnings, he quickly explained.
"But this time he was a bit too much. He knew yesterday that these emperor hawks were coming, so he could just leave to avoid the limelight first. As a result, he was fine. Until now, he saw that the situation was not good and his life was out of danger, he was frightened and fled in panic.
In order to prevent the tail from being caught, we must also use our lives to delay time.
Tell me, since that's the case, why did we have to work hard and take risks to find out the news before?"
But his anger obviously could not disappear. It all burst out like a volcano that had been blocked for a long time.
But this time, his companions didn't say anything else, just sighed lightly, shook their heads, and immediately galloped towards the direction where Zheng Yixiang and his party left as quickly as possible.
...
When the two groups of people were rushing towards Santai Mountain, they did not notice that there were two people mixed between them and rushing towards Santai Mountain.
