Chapter 520
"I don't need to elaborate on what role you play in this game, right?"
"Like the aftermath, huh?"
"I, the Imperial Envoy, am giving you this opportunity!"
After saying that, Xu Shan, dragging Lin Ke with him, walked to the lakeside and pointed to Taihu Island, where flames were blinding and explosions were heard from time to time.
As the local official, Lin Ke knew better than anyone that that was the lair of the Taihu Lake bandits.
"Later, after my men have dealt with the pirates on the island, Lord Lin will be in charge of cleaning up the mess."
"While this is going on, help this imperial envoy investigate who is behind the Taihu Lake bandits' rampage in Suzhou Prefecture for so many years!"
"Which high-ranking officials are secretly colluding with these officials and bandits?"
'Snap, snap!'
After saying that, Xu Shan slapped the man's cheek with his other hand, and added with a sneer, "If you find one, I, who holds the Imperial Sword, will kill him!"
"How many people do you think are still alive in the Wuxi government office under Lord Lin's rule?"
Fire shot up into the sky, piercing explosions erupted, and faint screams were heard...
Xu Shan's questioning was so horrifying to Lin Ke and the Wuxi officers and soldiers in the distance!
At the Duke of Qing's mansion, when they were preparing to use the Taihu Lake bandits to drown the imperial envoy in the lake, the enemy had already secretly dispatched troops to cut off the source of the problem.
None of the Wuxi officers and soldiers present could guarantee whether there was any evidence of their secret collusion in the bandit's lair.
not to mention……
Now the initiative is in the hands of Emperor Xu?
"The old saying is true!"
"It's only a thief who steals for a thousand days, so why should we be on guard against thieves for a thousand days?"
"If the traitor in Wuxi who is colluding with the pirates is not eliminated, then even if I, the imperial envoy, go to Suzhou to investigate the missing tax silver case, I am afraid of being attacked from all sides."
"What do you think, Lord Lin?"
‘Gulu. ’
Facing Xu Shan's questioning, Lin Ke, whose entire face was swollen from being slapped, had long lost the sharpness he had just had when he arrived.
He swallowed deeply and was about to say something when he saw Zhang Liansong, who was standing behind Xu Shan, suddenly draw his blade.
"Sir, I understand what you said."
'Whoosh! '
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Liansong, who was at the forefront, immediately rushed towards the officers and soldiers who came with Lin Ke.
He was a great grandmaster of the seventh rank, but he could chop these small fry as easily as chopping melons and vegetables!
Seeing that Goudan had taken action, none of the Jinyiwei standing there would retreat.
They rushed forward with knives in hand as if trying to grab the credit.
'Sizzle!'
"Ow."
"Master Lin, save us."
"Master Lin..."
'Pfft. '
The sudden scene stunned not only others but even Wang Qinian, who had been with his master for a long time.
Sir, is that what you mean?
Goudan, are you thinking too much?
Our master, on the surface, was speaking to Lin Ke, but in fact he was putting pressure on these officers and soldiers to let them take the initiative to report their master!
In order to achieve this without bloodshed, we must dismantle the bridgehead of the Duke of Qing’s Mansion in Suzhou Prefecture—Wuxi—from within!
Damn it, you killed all the people?
But now the matter is done, and when Wang Qinian saw that his master did not take any action to stop it, he just stood aside and tacitly approved his subordinates' actions!
But it has to be admitted that the Jinyiwei's behavior really scared Lin Ke, Wang Chen and others completely.
Since the fall of imperial power, when have the emperor's personal guards ever been so rampant and bloody?
After a few breaths, the officers and soldiers who had just accompanied Lin Ke and were responsible for encircling the escaped fish and completing the aftermath were lying in a pool of blood.
The huge post station fell into silence again.
The strong smell of blood in the air is really nauseating.
"Was it such a clean kill?"
"Don't you know how many to keep and how to deal with the bodies?"
"You can't ask us, the emperor's personal soldiers, to carry the corpse, right?"
"what?"
As soon as Xu Shan finished speaking, Zhang Liansong and others who were eager to kill were stunned.
At this time, Wang Chen rushed out in a panic and said, "Sir, I, I will lead my troops to clean up."
