Chapter 1106: Death of Xu Yuncheng

Yuzhou, Dongqiao County.

Han Jin and Xu Yuncheng have been visiting and investigating Dongqiao County for many days disguised as ordinary merchants.

They have already made some progress regarding the Red Moon Cult.

At present, the most suspicious one is the Wang family of Dongqiao!

However, the evidence they had was not enough to prove that it was indeed the Wang family of Dongqiao who was supporting the Red Moon Sect behind the scenes.

After visiting the county town under Dongqiao, Han Jin and Xu Yuncheng returned to Dongqiao County.

"Your father is the Minister of Finance. I believe Lord Xu should be good at checking accounts, right?"

On the way, Han Jin suddenly asked Xu Yuncheng.

“I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit!”

Xu Yuncheng smiled modestly and asked, "Why did Commander Han suddenly ask this? Commander Han, don't you want to check Wang's accounts?"

As Xu Shifu's eldest son, Xu Yuncheng was somewhat arrogant.

However, in front of Han Jin, Xu Yuncheng did not dare to be arrogant.

Han Jin himself is the deputy commander of the imperial guards and is close to Emperor Wen. His background is not inferior to his.

Now, Han Jin is the imperial envoy and his status is higher than his.

Moreover, before coming to Yuzhou, Xu Shifu and the prince repeatedly told him to establish a good relationship with Han Jin and try his best to get Han Jin on board with them.

Therefore, Xu Yuncheng was still very polite to Han Jin.

"Yes!"

Han Jin nodded gently: "The evidence we have now cannot fully confirm that it is the Dongqiao Wang family that secretly supports the Red Moon Sect, but we have also been visiting for a few days and have not obtained more powerful evidence, so..."

"So Commander Han wants to check the accounts to determine where the money of the Dongqiao Wang family has gone, so as to determine whether they are secretly supporting the Red Moon Sect?" Xu Yuncheng took over the conversation and asked with a smile.

"Yep!"

Han Jin nodded repeatedly.

Xu Yuncheng thought about it, frowned and said, "Although Commander Han's idea is good, it is a little unrealistic."

"I would like to hear Lord Xu's opinion."

Han Jin was also very polite to Xu Yuncheng and did not act like an imperial envoy at all.

Xu Yuncheng said solemnly: "If the Wang family of Dongqiao really has a connection with the Red Moon Sect, they should not be stupid enough to leave any traces in the accounts. Their money can be handed over to the Red Moon Sect without leaving any traces through many means..."

His father is Xu Shifu!

Even though he was not as proficient as Xu Shifu in matters of money and grain, he was much better than ordinary officials.

He knows the ins and outs of this very well.

Han Jin's idea sounds like a fantastic idea, but anyone who has worked in the Ministry of Revenue would not have such a fantastic idea.

Listening to Xu Yuncheng's words, Han Jin couldn't help but frown, "If this method doesn't work, where should we start next? The emperor and the crown prince are watching the Red Moon Sect. If we can't find out the truth as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain!"

"That's true."

Xu Yuncheng also frowned, and after a little thought, he asked Han Jin: "After our investigation, Commander Han, do you think that Yuzhou Governor Kang Guangyan is worthy of suspicion?"

Han Jin lowered his brows in thought, then shook his head and said, "At the moment, it seems that Kang Guangyan has nothing to do with the Red Moon Cult."

Xu Yuncheng laughed and asked, "Commander Han, do you think the other officials in Yuzhou are worthy of suspicion?"

Ok?

Han Jin was stunned.

Xu Yuncheng obviously has something else in his words!

However, Han Jin didn't quite understand what Xu Yuncheng meant, so he said, "Master Xu, please speak directly if you have anything to say!"

"There must be someone in Yuzhou's officialdom who has connections with the Red Moon Cult!"

Xu Yuncheng was confident and smiled, "Since there is no solid evidence to prove that the Wang family of Dongqiao has any connection with the Red Moon Cult, let's start with the officialdom of Yuzhou! As long as we find out the Red Moon Cult traitors in the government, maybe we can find more people through this line!"

Hearing Xu Yuncheng's words, Han Jin's eyes suddenly lit up.

After thinking silently for a while, Han Jin looked up at the roadside tea stall not far away, "Master Xu, let's go to the tea stall in front to rest for a while, and then talk about this in detail later!"

"well!"

Xu Yuncheng agreed with a smile.

Soon, they arrived at the tea stall.

There were a few men sitting around the tea stall taking a break.

"Shopkeeper, serve tea! Serve good tea!"

As soon as the two sat down, Han Jin asked someone to serve tea.

A group of people who were accompanying him and dressed as ordinary servants and guards also took their seats.

"Sir, please wait a moment. Tea will be served immediately!"

The shopkeeper nodded in response.

Han Jin glanced at the men sitting next to him, and then glanced at the shop owner who was walking over with a tea bowl in his arms.

Is it coming?

With just these little tricks, they dare to play this trick in front of me?

He really doesn't take me, the deputy commander of the imperial guards, seriously!

"Hurry up, hurry up, we are all dying of thirst!"

Han Jin urged the shopkeeper.

"okay!"

The shopkeeper smiled apologetically and quickly quickened his pace to place the tea bowls in front of them one by one. He then trotted over to get the teapot and poured tea for them one by one.

Han Jin picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

"puff……"

Han Jin spat out the tea as soon as it entered his mouth. He then stood up abruptly, grabbed the shopkeeper by his clothes, and shouted angrily, "Is this tea? This is swill! I asked you to serve good tea, and you use this rubbish to fool us?"

"Sir... Sir, please calm down!"

The shopkeeper apologized with a big smile on his face, "I didn't fool you, sir. This is the best tea we have!"

"Really?"

Han Jin frowned and asked, already having a definite answer in his mind.

The chassis of this store is very stable, it is obvious that they are trained!

"I dare not deceive you, sir."

The shopkeeper said tremblingly.

"What a lousy place!"

Han Jin complained and let go of the shopkeeper. "Okay, then just boil some water for us! Liu Er, go and get the good tea that I put on the carriage! Xiao Linzi, we have to delay for a while, take a few people to lead the horses to the side and give them some water!"

As he said this, Han Jin winked at the servant named Liu Er.

"Yes Yes……"

The two people who were named nodded and ran towards the carriage with a few people. On the way, a few people even winked at each other.

Soon, several people rushed to the carriage.

Liu Er jumped directly into the carriage and quickly took out a powerful crossbow. Several other people rushed to the carriage pulling the empty boxes and quickly took out the weapons hidden under the carriage.

It was not until they drew their weapons that the big men at the tea stall suddenly realized that they had been exposed.

"Do it!"

A big man suddenly dropped the tea bowl in his hand, quickly took out the weapon hidden under the table, and rushed towards Han Jin and Xu Yuncheng.

The other few people also quickly took out their weapons and attacked.

At the same time, all the servants and guards rushed forward to intercept.

Han Jin stood up, but did not join the battle. He just protected Xu Yuncheng, who had not yet recovered from his shock, and shouted, "Leave him alive!"

In an instant, a group of people started fighting.

The people accompanying them are all masters, but these assassins are also quite skilled.

Just as everyone was fighting fiercely, an assassin hiding behind the thatched wall suddenly rushed out and went straight for Xu Yuncheng and Han Jin.

"Lord be careful!"

Liu Er, who was holding a powerful crossbow, shouted loudly, immediately turned the direction of the crossbow, slightly shifted it, and then pulled the trigger.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow shot out, but just brushed past the assassin's body.

At the same time, the assassin stabbed Xu Yuncheng in the chest...
