After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1358 Qian Yu
"How many opportunities did you have to take action along the way?"

"Quite a lot." He Lingchuan whispered, "When important officials like this pass by, local officials will give them a warm reception. It's impossible for Xue Zongwu to bring all 200 soldiers to the banquet."

There was a distinction between the upper and the lower. When Xue Zongwu and other dignitaries were drinking and having fun, the soldiers under his command could only guard outside.

"The Black Armor Army has never attacked the Yao people. Xue Zongwu definitely would not have expected that he would become the next target of the Black Armor Army." He Lingchuan continued, "But he should know that he is the target of public hatred and would be careful to guard against it. If you have done something wrong, you will be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door."

"Even if the time and place are chosen, the information we have is not enough." Dong Rui picked up another file and flipped through it. "Xue Zongwu's true temper, habits, character, and on-the-spot reactions are not complete here."

He used to be a guest killer and took killing orders. He knew that assassination work was never easy, especially when the target was a general with a rank above ten thousand people.

He Lingchuan glanced at him and said, "You make a very reasonable argument, but I don't see how skillfully you assassinated Ke Jihai back then."

The old embarrassing things were dug up, and Dong Rui could only glare at him: "I did my homework for Ke Jihai, but I didn't do yours! Who knows where you are, who knows you will interfere!"

At that time, he didn't even care about He Lingchuan, a nobody, okay?

"So, there are many accidents during the assassination process. The one you chose is really difficult!" Dong Rui said angrily, "Unless you can get more and more complete information, I advise you to change your target. We can kill a few more minor officials of the Yao people and win by quantity."

"Killing ten minor officials is not as explosive as the death of Xue Zongwu." He Lingchuan shook his head, "Why do you think I chose to do it before the birthday of King Yao?"

Dong Rui thought for a moment and asked, "Send him a big gift?"

"Send a great gift to Yao Country to muddy the waters a little more. Otherwise, our trip to Yao Country is all part of King Yao's plan, and it will be hard to deal with." Since the king of the most powerful country in the Shining Gold Plain had tricked him into going to Yao Country, he probably had a trick up his sleeve. If He Lingchuan wanted to take back the initiative, he could start by killing Xue Zongwu and triggering a series of chain reactions.

He Lingchuan said word by word: "I will definitely kill this man."

He had made up his mind, and Dong Rui could only rub his hands: "Okay, where do we start?"

If you can't stop it, join it.

"You're right. This guy is much harder to kill than the previous targets, and we only have one chance. If we fail, Xue Zongwu will win and the Black Armor Army will lose." He Lingchuan took out a piece of paper from the information Dong Rui threw away and handed it to him, "So we must do all the preparations."

He Lingchuan had made sufficient preparations for all the targets that the Black Armor Army was going to kill. Some of them were easy to kill, as Dong Rui said, "a few cuts would kill them", so he also had to make several plans.

Even a lion will do its best to fight a rabbit, because accidents can happen anywhere and at any time. For example, when they entered Green Villa to kill Wu Ma and his son, another group of demon puppet masters suddenly appeared from the side, and the Black Armor Army even had to fight Wu Ma's soldiers and several demon puppets at the same time for several rounds.

"Since I started to prepare the Black Armor Army, I have been thinking about suitable targets in Yao Country, and quickly locked on Xue Zongwu, firstly because his sins are serious enough, and secondly because he has enough influence in Yao Country." He Lingchuan talked freely, "But our tentacles have just extended to Yao Country, so it took a lot of effort to collect intelligence. This information was obtained from Shuangxi. It would be even more difficult to get intelligence in Xue Zongwu's territory."

Dong Rui took the paper and looked at it, and quickly found a name:
"Qian Yu?"

"Qian Yu has been Xue Zongwu's account manager for ten years. He usually stays in Xue Zongwu's property, but every once in a while, Xue Zongwu will send him to lead a team to Shuangxi to audit the accounts."

"Auditing the accounts of Gongdi?"

"Yes. The taxes and grains paid by the tribute land every year have names and quantities, so they naturally need to be reviewed by a dedicated person." He Lingchuan explained, "Qian Yu and the people he brought with him verified that they were correct. Only then was this account table submitted to the Yao Wang Court by Xue Zongwu, so Qian Yu's work was very important."

The work is important, and so are the people. Dong Rui understood: "Is Qian Yu the breakthrough point?"

"Well, Xue Zongwu will only assign this kind of work to his own people."

Dong Rui looked at the information carefully and said with a long sigh: "So he is a family-born child."

Qian Yu is not only the accountant of the Xue family, but also the son of the second housekeeper of Xue Zongwu's mother.

Both their father and son generations have served the Xue family. The whole family depends on the Xue family for their livelihood, and their life and death are controlled by the Xue family. Of course, they can only be loyal to Xue Zongwu.

These are the “own people” that Xue Zongwu can trust.

Dong Rui laughed and said, "He has been managing Xue Zongwu's accounts for ten years. His father served Xue Zongwu's mother's family, so Qian Yu should know Xue Zongwu very well. Haha, where is this guy now?"

"Shuangxi." He Lingchuan felt that he was lucky. "During this period, he has been checking the accounts in Shuangxi."

Dong Rui was curious: "How did you find this person?"

"What goes up, the followers follow. This guy is as greedy as his master." He Lingchuan smiled. "The local officials in Shuangxi all know that this account-auditing Mr. Qian must get enough benefits every time he comes to Shuangxi, otherwise the tribute account of Shuangxi will not be settled. If Xue Zongwu gets angry, the local officials may lose their heads, and there is no place to appeal. So before and after Qian Yu arrived, the Xishuang government office had to raise money everywhere... Guess who they will go to when they want to get money?"

The answer is obvious: "Local wealthy people and businessmen? Oh, it would be best if they were wealthy businessmen!"

The big guys all have connections in the local area, and it is easier to deal with the rich businessmen. If you ask for something, it will give it to you.

He Lingchuan spread his hands: "So, we got this clue."

Dong Rui stood up and stretched hard: "Then let's go?"

……

The moon was at its zenith as Qian Yu yawned as he walked out of Tongyue Garden, followed by several guards.

The guards were assigned to him by General Xue. Every time he came to check the accounts, there would be guards following him to protect him.

The carriage was parked at the door. When he climbed up, he couldn't help but support his lower back, as his legs felt a little weak.

The new young lady in Tongyue Garden is really capable. Although her legs are thin, she is very strong.

His old waist hurts a little.

The garden was originally filled with only old and ugly people, and Qian Yu was too lazy to come again, but he could not resist the repeated hints from others, and as soon as he entered, he was indeed given the best treatment.

The other party did not show up, but Qian Yu knew exactly who arranged the young lady for him.

There was an unclear account of two thousand silver coins in the tribute. If he didn't agree and find a way to make it right, the other party would be in big trouble.

Just now the young lady handed him a box with a seal on the lid.
