The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Gu Yuchen thoroughly investigated the salt import incident in the past few years, which was secretly carried out, and the situation developed relatively smoothly. The Minister of the Ministry of Justice suddenly searched the yard of Zhang Si, a doctor in the Ministry of Finance, and dug out several boxes of gold from the yard. Not only that, but also land deeds, valuables Calligraphy and painting, etc.

Zhang Si was completely unprepared. It was not until he was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment that he slowly came to his senses.

He originally thought that he would be tortured soon, but he didn't expect that the Minister of the Ministry of Justice seemed to be unable to remember him at all, and turned around to look through the files of the former Minister of the Ministry of Finance.

People inside and outside the Ministry of Justice worked overtime for two consecutive days, and finally discovered something fishy in the files. The youngest son of the former Minister of Tobe was taken away by Hanako a few years ago, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

The Minister of Punishment immediately understood that the youngest son must have been arranged by the King of Chu as a hostage to the south of the Yangtze River, and he had come into contact with the younger son before the incident happened to the Minister of Hubu.

Only this possibility would make the former Minister of Household Affairs willing to die.

The Minister of Punishment submitted the investigation results to the emperor, and immediately sent someone to contact Qi Chengjun to dig out the younger son. He had a hunch that the younger son must be gone.

But the situation in Mobei Qizhou was not so smooth.

Zhang Yuankai took a total of twelve guards from the mansion and rushed to Qizhou overnight, and secretly met the Qizhou prefect in the outskirts of Qizhou. This was also the first time Zhang Yuankai met the Qizhou prefect.

Under the moonlight, Zhang Yuankai looked at the gray hair of the Qizhou magistrate and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Is this person the magistrate of Qizhou?
Obviously thanks to the information given by Chang Shi, this Qizhou magistrate is obviously only in his thirties.

Wei Chengrui, the prefect of Qizhou, was obviously no stranger to such looks and did not explain. He took out the token and whispered: "But Guard Zhang?"

After Zhang Yuankai exchanged tokens, he finally confirmed his identity. Zhang Yuankai whispered: "What's the current situation of Li Ji Escort Agency?"

It has been a few days since the bodyguard of Li Ji Escort passed away. During this period, Li Ji Escort was not said to be involved in lawsuits, but it really had no intention of continuing to work as an escort.

The people in the Li Ji Escort Bureau didn't know that the two groups of people who robbed the escorts were two groups. They only knew that this strange force that suddenly appeared was a ruthless master who was particularly good at killing people and robbing escorts.

Before finding out this strange force, how could they dare to act like escorts?

If they lose one more escort, their escort agency will probably end up like the Longchang Escort Agency.

The most troublesome thing for the shopkeeper of Li Ji Escort Agency is that now all the boss's thoughts are on checking the accounts and buying the salt. He just asked them to calm down and wait until the purchase of the salt is over.

So the current Li Ji Trading Company is very quiet.

Zhang Yuankai nodded repeatedly after hearing this and handed the evidence collected by Yuan Shiliang to Magistrate Wei: "This is what Xie Changshi asked me to bring to Magistrate Wei. He said these things should be useful to you."

In the dark, although Wei Chengrui couldn't see clearly what was recorded in the booklet, he understood the meaning of Zhang Yuankai's words and immediately put the booklet into his arms: "The Li Ji Escort Bureau is very powerful in Qizhou. Our government Many people in the Yamen are unable to use it, so..."

He glanced at the dozen or so people behind Zhang Yuankai and suddenly felt a headache: "Guard Zhang, it's not that I don't trust you, but the total number of escorts from Li Ji Escort Agency is 50..." Although they planned to raid Li Ji Escort Agency tonight, However, Li Ji Escort Agency has a large number of people and is very familiar with the layout of the Escort Agency. They have no advantage at all.

Thinking of this, Wei Chengrui couldn't help but worry in his heart, and his confidence in speaking became less and less: "Although I have the layout of Li Ji Escort Agency, our people have never gone in. And the escorts in Li Ji Escort Agency have never gone in." All teachers are ruthless people who have seen blood."

Zhang Yuankai knew this a long time ago, because he made a special trip to Xinliang before coming here and learned more about Li Ji Escort from Yuan Shiliang.

The few people did not enter the city, but went to the hiding place of the Huo Jiajun people. Once the lights were lit, Zhang Yuankai reopened the layout plan and outlined several places on it: "These are the cellar, the tunnel and the back door. "

Then he marked out a few more rooms: "The people in these rooms have just entered the escort agency, and there is no blood on their hands. It can be believed that the number of people is about ten."

Wei Chengrui glanced at him and finally resisted the source of his information. He took the layout map and passed it on: "Everyone, take a look and memorize the layout map. After entering, those who can persuade them to surrender will be persuaded to surrender. If it is not possible anymore, we will do so." Kill."

Li Ji Escort has done a lot of bad things over the years. Wei Chengrui wants to know the truth about these things, so naturally he cannot kill everyone in Li Ji Escort.

Wei Chengrui's brows furrowed. With this layer of scruples, their chances of winning were further reduced.

Zhang Yuankai continued: "When we get outside Li Ji Escort Agency, I will go in first and contact these people. You will wait for my news later."

In Yuan Shiliang's words, almost all the escorts who entered the escort agency later were recruited by him and respected him very much. Therefore, Zhang Yuankai, who held Yuan Shiliang's token, was very confident in countering these escorts.

After the two agreed on the plan, they started to act separately. Zhang Yuankai quietly sneaked into the escort agency with Yuan Shiliang's token, and based on Yuan Shiliang's trust level, he took the lead in entering the room of one of them.

Wei Chengrui, who was waiting for news outside the escort office, couldn't help but look at the night sky. The moon was hazy tonight, and few stars could be seen. Wei Chengrui couldn't help but think of a sentence in his heart, when the moon is dark and the wind is high, murders and arson are committed.

The waiting time is always very long. Wei Chengrui and others kept changing their positions. It seemed like an hour had passed. The back door of the escort agency finally opened slowly. Zhang Yuankai revealed his face and waved to several people.

Wei Chengrui looked at the opened door, and for some reason he always felt that it was like the mouth of a man-eating monster. Once they got in, they would never get out again.

He slowly exhaled a breath and watched Zhang Yuankai's people walk in quietly. He felt that he was overthinking it. He waved his hand and rushed in with the government officials he trusted.

Zhang Yuankai pointed to the bodyguard behind him: "Next, we will divide into three teams according to the original plan. The people in each team will be led by these bodyguards. We must capture all the bodyguards inside."

But what they didn't expect was that as soon as Zhang Yuankai finished speaking, they were surrounded by everyone from Li Ji Escort Agency.

The head of the Li Ji Escort Bureau slowly walked out with a torch in his hand. His eyes fell on Wei Chengrui, and his expression turned ugly: "I wonder why Governor Wei brought people to our Escort Bureau in the middle of the night?"

Zhang Yuankai and Wei Chengrui looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

No one expected that they would become turtles catching turtles in a urn!
