But the storm of Miao Qian's murder has just begun.

It was late at night in Liu's house, and it was silent, only the sound of rain washed away,

A rapid knock on the door broke the tranquility. Liu Yongzhi, who was sleeping with a young girl, woke up from his sleep. He put on his clothes in a panic and went straight to Qianhu Station.

And when Liu Yongzhi arrived,

The lights are brightly lit and bustle,

Not only were the senior management of Qianhu Office basically arrived, but many officials from the government office also arrived.

Liu Yongzhi photographed an official and asked, "What's going on?"

When the official saw that it was Liu Yongzhi, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Liu, at midnight, Miao Qianhu was assassinated on his way home. A total of eleven guards were killed, and more than 20 people were seriously injured. Miao Qianhu... was also assassinated by thieves!"

Liu Yongzhi twitched hard,

He knew Miao Qian was dead, but he didn't expect the scene to be so tragic. He walked into the hall, looked at Miao Qian's body, looked at the deputy Qianhu who is in charge of the overall situation, and asked, "Where is the assassin? Have you caught it?"

Deputy Qianhu shook his head and said, "More than 3,000 constables have been urgently summoned to search the whole city. There is no progress at present. According to the Miao guards who survived the scene, there are only five murderers, all of whom are masters, and they are neat and neat. They are obviously prepared for a long time and the retreat route is planned perfectly.

It happened to be raining again today, and we were unable to help at six doors. By the time we arrived, Miao Qianhu was dead. These assassins were obviously professional killers. The methods were simply. When we tracked down the Ninghe River, we lost our traces. We found a ship that had been burnt downstream, but no useful traces were found."

Liu Yongzhi asked: "Are there any clues that are questionable?"

Deputy Qiandu shook his head and said, "One thing is that among the five assassins, four of them were clearly injured and could restore the injured location. Now that the whole city is blocked, it is possible to investigate it, but it is a bit difficult."

Liu Yongzhi's pupils shrank slightly, nodded, and said, "You must catch the murderer. If you need assistance from the government office, please come and find him."

At this moment,

There was a commotion in the hall.

"Master Ma..."

"I've seen Magistrate Ma..."

The crowds were surging and dispersed. A thin middle-aged man slowly walked in, wearing an open-minded blue shirt, looking very elegant. This person was the first person in the Beicang County government and the prefect Ma Kangping.

Ma Kangping looked at Miao Qian's body, and simply said a few words to the senior executive holding the six doors, and then left.

When turning around,

He suddenly stopped and looked at Liu Yongzhi.

"Master Ma." Liu Yong was not sure about why, so he bowed and held the ceremony.

"Let me go for a while!" said Ma Kangping.

"yes."

Liu Yongzhi followed Ma Kangping away with doubt.

After leaving the six doors, Liu Yongzhi got on Ma Kangping's carriage.

The carriage was moving forward slowly, and the carriage was very silent.

Ma Kangping sat quietly.

Liu Yongzhi couldn't figure out what Ma Kangping meant, so hesitated for a while and was about to speak, but Ma Kangping suddenly spoke first: "Who do you think the murderer will be?"

Liu Yongzhi shook his head and said, "I don't know, Liushemen has always been responsible for the security of the city and arresting bandits. Miao Qianhu is a six-door Qianhu, and is upright. He naturally has to offend people over the years, and the assassination of him has never stopped."

"I think it's Gu Qingshan." Ma Kang said calmly.

Liu Yongzhi's heart tightened and said, "This... probably won't be the case. Gu Qingshan is just a gang leader. How can he get the courage to assassinate Miao Qianhu? What's more, Miao Qianhu has always been very alert. How could Gu Qingshan succeed..."

"Do you really think so?" Ma Kangping had a tweet of joke on his face.

Liu Yongzhi's mind was calm, and he always felt that Ma Kangping's eyes revealed a lot of things, as if he had seen through him, making his scalp numb, but he still said with a thorny forehead: "It's just a man from all over the world. The government can eat for food. When the government opens his eyes, he has to kneel down!"

Ma Kangping chuckled, withdrew his gaze and said, "I have been following Gu Qingshan for a long time. Since he took over as the head of Qingluo Bay, I have been following him."

"Why?"

Liu Yongzhi was puzzled. He couldn't figure out what Gu Qingshan deserved Ma Kangping's attention. Not to mention that Ma Kangping came from the Ma family in Jiuyuan, even an ordinary magistrate would not be able to see a gang in the Jianghu. What's more, Gu Qingshan was just showing his talents at that time.

Ma Kangping said slowly: "Do you know that huge change in Kyoto a year ago?"

Liu Yongzhi frowned and asked carefully: "Sir, are you talking about the murder of the General's Palace?"

Ma Kangping nodded slightly, sighed and said, "Da Li is already turbulent. Although the general is suspected of autocracy, when he is young today, the empress dowager believes that the eunuch party is harming the country and the people. It is a good thing to be restrained by the general's autocracy!"

Liu Yongzhi swallowed his saliva, his face pale, and he had the urge to cover Ma Kangping's mouth.

Can you say this kind of thing casually?

This is going to lose your head!

Ma Kangping glanced at Liu Yongzhi with a pale face and continued: "The struggle between the general and the eunuch party has been going on for several years, and it has always been neither up nor down. Both sides are evenly matched and have formed a tacit understanding. No one has broken it, and it just barely stabilized the situation in the court.

Unfortunately, the general made a fool of himself. In order to eliminate the eunuch party, he secretly summoned the prefect of Liangzhou Hu to Beijing to prepare to work together to kill the eunuch party.

I don’t know what the general was thinking, but no one in the world knew that Huo Hu had a strong army and a wolf ambition, so he actually went to summon Huo Hu. After receiving the general’s secret letter, Huo Hu quietly notified the eunuch party.

The general did not know that the news was leaked, and was deceived by the eunuch party to the palace and killed it, which directly caused a mutiny between the army in the capital. The imperial city was in chaos. Huo Hu took the opportunity to lead his army into the capital and killed the eunuch party. After that, he directly controlled the court, and this traitor..."

"Sir!" Liu Yongzhi was so scared that he was limp and hurriedly said, "Sir, the official... the official... I really don't dare to listen!"

Ma Kangping glanced at Liu Yongzhi and said, "You don't have to worry, it's just that the news is blocked. You don't know the current situation. If you know, you won't be afraid of anything. I think it won't take long to come.

After Huo Hu's thief controlled the court, he became more and more excessive. Half a month ago, he directly abolished the emperor and appointed King Yan Xun as the emperor!"

"What?" Liu Yongzhi was shocked.

Ma Kangping took a deep breath and said, "In the court, many civil and military officials were killed by Huo Hu. Just my Ma family, there are twelve officials in the court who were killed!"

Liu Yongzhi's eyes were full of fear.

Ma Kangping continued: "Now, all parts of the world are in chaos, and all the places are raising troops, especially the royal family and clan princes have even shouted the slogan of going to Beijing to kill the thieves. So, in this situation, do you think it is not necessary to scold Huo Hu for a few words of rioters?"

"this……"

Liu Yongzhi really doesn’t know what to say.

He believed that Ma Kangping would not joke about such things, but he really didn't dare to comment on these things!

"Then... what does this have to do with Gu Qingshan?" Liu Yongzhi asked.

Ma Kangping said slowly: "It has nothing to do with him, but it has something to do with my Ma family. Now, several clans in Cangzhou are all raising troops. The prefect Zhang Xiu responded to the call to prepare to go to Beijing to serve the king, and Cangzhou is in chaos.

To put it bluntly, the world will be divided in no time. As a Cangzhou family, it is impossible for our Ma family to avoid this turmoil. If you want to gain a foothold in this turmoil, you must have enough influence.

As for Gu Qingshan, he naturally did not stir up the situation. However, in this Beicang County, he had enough influence. It was not just my Ma family who was preparing. The typical one was the Guan family behind Miao Qian. Otherwise, why did Miao Qian suddenly attack Gu Qingshan?

Originally, I wanted to support Gu Qingshan as the spokesperson for my Ma family in Beicang County, but now, I have changed my mind."

Liu Yong's doubts.

Ma Kangping said again: "Before, I thought Gu Qingshan was a young man with potential. Now it seems that this person's ability and courage are much stronger than I thought. I'm sorry, he is not suitable to be my spokesperson!"

Liu Yong's heart was anxious.

Now that he was already on Gu Qingshan's boat, he naturally hoped that Gu Qingshan could step onto the mountain of Ma Kangping. When Ma Kangping said he didn't want it, he hurriedly tried to win: "Master Ma, this matter may be a misunderstanding, and it may not be done by Gu Qingshan?"

Ma Kangping waved his hand and said, "I don't believe there will be so many coincidences in the world. In addition, I know your thoughts, don't be anxious first, listen to me.

I won’t mention my ability and skills for the time being. Gu Qingshan is indeed very courageous. It is really not suitable for him to be my spokesperson. However, he is suitable for being an ally. Please tell me what I mean to Gu Qingshan. I am willing to help him get the grain and horses and the canal transportation business.

In addition, I also helped him to suppress Miao Qian's affairs. Although he did it very cleanly, the Guan family behind Miao Qian is always troublesome. These two things are my sincerity in cooperation. If he is willing to cooperate, he will come to my house to see me. If he doesn't want to, he will regard it as a gift from him, a friend. Cangzhou will soon be in chaos. The Ma family cannot avoid it, and he cannot avoid it. We will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future!"
