Zhang Shixun, a music major graduate, transmigrated to the Great Song Dynasty. Relying on his golden finger and superb talent, he rose rapidly in the capital. Gao Yan Nei became his follower; Li Sh...
"So, the people who tried to kill me on the street during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the people who broke into my house and killed and looted my belongings, were all members of Huang San's faction?"
"Yes! He sent people to do it all."
"It seems that he was the one who sent people to assassinate the emperor in Fanlou?"
Li Kui shuddered with fear. "I don't know about that. A few days ago, a few barbarians from Jiangnan came to Wuyou Cave. Huang San hid them in a separate cave and didn't let anyone approach. He made it very secretive. I was curious, so I asked my men to secretly investigate. It didn't take long for us to find out. When I heard who these barbarians were, I was so scared that I sat on the ground."
Zhang Shixun had a vague idea of where these people came from, but he still asked, "Who are they? Why would they scare you like this?"
"He...they are the remnants of Fang La."
Zhang Shixun couldn't help but laugh when he heard this... Damn! He is a rat, yet he calls others "remnants".
However, this also indirectly confirmed that the information Nie Shan obtained was quite accurate.
"Why are you afraid of Fang La's people?"
"My dear friend, although my brain may not be very bright, I am not stupid... Fang La is still imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and will soon be sentenced to death. His men secretly came to the capital at this time. Can there be any good news?"
"You mean they sneaked into the capital to rescue Fang La?"
"Of course they are. The imperial court is still cracking down on the remnants of Fang La. The situation is tense. They risked their lives coming to the capital, no doubt to save Fang La... I suspect the assassination attempt on the emperor at Fanlou was most likely carried out by these remnants of Fang La."
Things are getting more and more interesting.
Originally, Zhang Shixun was still a little worried about the farce in Fanlou, but now that everyone has pointed the finger at Fang La's people, the last bit of worry has disappeared.
Since everyone thinks so, Zhang Shixun is of course optimistic about it.
"They hid in your territory and committed such a shocking crime... Li Kui, your life is on the line."
"I know, sir, please save me." Li Kui kowtowed repeatedly.
"It's not difficult if you want me to save your life. Help me find Huang San." Zhang Shixun was not interested in the so-called remnants of Fang La, but the bastard Huang San must not be let go.
We must catch him and avenge Dawai.
The stolen "treasure" must be recovered as soon as possible.
"My dear, Huang San never told me his whereabouts, and I didn't dare to ask."
"Did you see him today?"
"I haven't seen him since last night. I don't know where he went." Li Kui said with a frown, "His whereabouts are usually uncertain and he doesn't have a fixed residence. Even when I want to find him, I have to tell his confidant first, and then his confidant will pass the news to him."
This is a cunning guy and it is not easy to catch him.
Zhang Shixun took a look at the positioning in the intelligent system. The little red dot was still in its original position, and it seemed that it had not been moved.
Since Huang San cannot be found at the moment, let’s find the “treasure” first.
"Do you know where Huang San put my things?"
"I don't know, but I know Huang San has a treasure cave."
"Treasure cave?" Zhang Shixun's eyes lit up.
"Most of the money and jewelry Huang Sankeng stole were stored in his treasure cave... Humph! He thought his treasure cave was so secretive that no one knew about it, but in fact, I already knew everything."
"So, you have an informant in Huang San?"
"Hehe! To be honest, I've been on guard against him for a long time. I secretly inserted my confidants among the others. Not only him, but also several other leaders have my spies."
Cunning guy.
Zhang Shixun decided to scare him.
"Huang San colluded with Fang La and attempted to assassinate the emperor, bringing catastrophic disaster to Wuyou Cave. The court is determined to wipe out Wuyou Cave completely. Not only have all the people in Kaifeng Prefecture been dispatched, but even the imperial guards from the Palace Guards have been sent... Li Kui, you're finished. I'm afraid even your family can't be saved."
"Please save my life, sir. I will work like a slave to repay you for saving my life." Li Kui kowtowed repeatedly, and his forehead was broken.
Zhang Shixun pondered for a moment before saying, "It won't be difficult for you to survive, but you must obey me and not compromise."
"I will obey you in everything. If I disobey you, I will be struck by lightning and will never be reborn." Li Kui pointed to the sky and the earth, cursing and swearing.
"Okay, as long as you listen to me, I can save your life... Now, take me to the treasure cave." Zhang Shixun did not dare to delay for a moment. He had to get his "treasure" back as soon as possible.
Li Kui agreed repeatedly and told his wife, "My wife, stay home with the children and don't go anywhere."
"Well! If you don't come back, I...I won't go anywhere."
Li Kui stood up, lit a lantern, and said to Zhang Shixun, "I will take you to the treasure cave right away."
Zhang Shixun followed him back into the cave and returned to Guifan Tower along the same route.
At this time, the Guifan Tower was very lively. After their victory, the officers and soldiers of the Palace Front Division and the public servants of Kaifeng Prefecture searched everywhere, almost turning the Guifan Tower upside down.
In the open space in front of Guifan Tower, Jiang Xuan got a tiger-skin chair from somewhere and sat on it with his horse and sword.
Seeing Zhang Shixun coming out, he asked with a smile: "Where are you, Master Zhang? I've been looking for you for a long time and can't find you."
"I'm going after their leader." Zhang Shixun wiped the mud off his boots on the stone slabs and spat, "You bastards! It's like a maze in here. It makes me dizzy and I can't get out."
"Who is this guy?" Jiang Xuan looked at Li Kui behind him.
"He was a small leader and I have already subdued him."
"Why keep him alive? It's better to kill him with one knife." Jiang Xuan said, standing up with the knife in hand.
When Li Kui heard this, he was so scared that he trembled all over.
"Wait!" Zhang Shixun hurriedly stopped Jiang Xuan, pulled him aside, and whispered, "This man can't be killed. He knows the treasure cave in Wuyou Cave."
"A treasure cave?" Jiang Xuan's eyebrows lit up when he heard it. "No wonder, we searched for a long time but couldn't find much valuables. It turns out these thieves have hidden their treasures."
"Hush...! Keep your voice down!" Zhang Shixun glanced at the soldiers around him and whispered, "Find a few of our own to guard the gate. Let's go to the treasure cave together."
"Young Master Zhang is truly righteous!" Jiang Xuan gave a thumbs-up, his face flushed with excitement. He turned around and called over a few soldiers, loudly ordering, "Guard the gate! No one is allowed to enter."
"Respect the order of the chief!"
Zhang Shixun couldn't help but laugh when he heard the word "Dutou" (a title of a general). "Old Chiang! You're such a loser! How did you become a Dutou?"
Jiang Xuan said dejectedly, "Master Zhang, you're bringing up something irrelevant."
"What do you mean?" Zhang Shixun pretended to be confused.
"I used to be the commander of the Hengban, the emperor's personal bodyguard. Because I failed to protect the emperor at Fanlou last time, I was demoted and became a captain." Jiang Xuan was very upset when talking about this matter.
