Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Chapter 596: Abandoning Darkness and Joining Darkness

They were full of confusion and found it incredible.

As soon as the leader of the Iron Hand Group saw Ma Rong and Qiao Tai, he ran out and knelt down, which was fine.

Why turn around and attack your own people?

"It's really strange. Let's see what Ma Rong, the thief, and Qiao Tai will do next."

The square-faced man stroked his beard and lowered his head.

On the official road, Ma Rong was silent. After seeing that Hu Wei and Zhang Zhi's actions did not seem fake, Ma Rong shook his head.

"I never thought that after I left the martial arts world for so many years, there are still people who think that the Baihelin Nineteen Thieves are a team that will never disband."

Qiao Tai said, “If I hadn’t been with you all this time, I think I would have thought that the famous Baihelin Nineteenthief in the Jianghu would have stayed in one place all the time.”

"If the two of them act like this, they will definitely not be able to return to the Iron Hand Group. Even if they are traitors among us, they can't hurt the head of the family. So... can we help them?"

"The head of the family said that this time I will listen to you the whole time."

"Okay, let's tell the brothers in the forest."

Qiao Tai nodded, took out a talisman from his arms, and threw it into the sky against the wind.

The talisman spontaneously combusted in mid-air and turned into a bright red "kill".

Hundreds of people lying in ambush in the dense forest saw the signal and rushed out under the leadership of several small leaders.

The square-faced man was pulling a horse and leading his short brother out of the dense forest. His brother was holding a phoenix-wing gilded drill in his hand.

"Second brother, today is the day to make achievements!"

"The master will reward you with a large amount of gold and silver, and will allow you to have endless wine and meat every day."

"The master of the family will also find you a beautiful wife!"

As they walked out of the dense forest, the square-faced man gave earnest instructions.

The dwarf who was called "the second one" took a deep breath. Although he didn't say a word, the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

"Go ahead, second brother!"

The man lifted the short man onto the horse.

"The wealth and glory of the rest of our lives depends entirely on you."

The second brother nodded vigorously and raised the gilded phoenix-wing drill in his hand.

He squeezed the belly of the horse under his crotch hard, and the phoenix-wing gilded spear stabbed forward.

The horse galloped out like an arrow, heading straight for the Iron Hand killers who were already in chaos.

The two hall masters rebelled on the spot, and the remaining Iron Hand assassins were left without anyone to lead them. They were like a tangled mess and didn't know what to do.

People holding weapons gradually surrounded them from all directions, leaving them no chance to escape.

Ma Rong tilted his head and glanced at Qiao Tai, saying, "Kill him."

Qiao Tai nodded. Although he was an expert in bare-handed combat, he also took out a knife to kill people more efficiently.

Ma Rong drew out his sword, rushed into the group of Iron Hand killers, and beheaded four or five of them with one sword.

Qiao Tai followed closely behind, hacking and killing along the way.

After half an hour, the shouting and killing finally stopped.

Ma Rong kicked away a killer who was still holding his legs before dying, and cut off four of the man's fingers with a knife, making the arm fall off.

Hu Wei and Zhang Zhi came to Ma Rong's side, holding weapons, and treated him respectfully as if they were facing a god.

"What were your original names?" Ma Rong asked as he sheathed his sword.

Hu Wei said: "My name is Li Chuang."

Zhang Zhi said: "My name is Zhao Tuo."

"Why are you following me?"

"It's like abandoning darkness and joining darkness." Li Chuang said, "I think the person who can bribe you to work for him must be a very powerful and very scary person. If we follow you, we should have a better future."

Ma Rong was speechless.

But come to think of it.

He is also a well-known figure in the green forest, so it is normal for the other party to have such thoughts.

"Since you want to follow me, then follow me."

"However, I will not completely trust you until this case is over. After all, I also have to be responsible to my employer."

Ma Rong glanced at the two of them indifferently.

"Just follow me for the time being."

Li Chuang and Zhao Tuo were smiling so much that their mouths almost reached their ears.

"So, what should we call you?"

"Call me...just call me Zhu Rourong. I love eating pork."

"Got it, Brother Pig."

"..."

Just after dawn, an official from the Yangzhou governor's mansion came to report that he saw a lot of blood on two official roads, but could not find the body.

Wu Yanhao, who was awakened from his sleep, rubbed his sleepy eyes. Knowing that Li Cunxi's plan had been completed, he revealed a barely perceptible smile.

"Let's go down."

"Too many things have happened in Yangzhou City recently. I think we should think carefully about the order of first come first served."

"Let's investigate the Han Canal boat capsize case first."

"Everyone else please step back a little."

The reasons Wu Yanhao gave were so legitimate that others couldn't help but believe him.

The officer didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, so he left the government office and continued to go out to investigate for information.

Wu Yanhao washed his face, brushed his teeth with coarse salt, and rolled two bowls of tea in his mouth to get rid of the salty feeling.

"For breakfast this morning, let's prepare eight side dishes, five meat dishes and three vegetable dishes, and a bowl of thick millet porridge as the main dish."

"Tell the kitchen staff to finish preparing it and send it over as soon as possible."

Wu Yanhao said something to the servant behind him, then swaggered into the main hall and went around to the back hall.

In the back hall, Cui Liang, with bloodshot eyes, was leaning over the table, wanting to write but not knowing what to write.

On the desk, there were more than twenty sheets of paper filled with writing, stacked together horizontally and vertically. This was the result of Cui Liang's work over the past day.

"Not bad, you wrote so much."

Wu Yanhao picked up one at random and read it slowly.

Cui Liang was like an elementary school student who had done something wrong. He lowered his head and dared not speak or look at Wu Yanhao.

"Well, sure. Keep writing. The more you write, the clearer your mindset will be in terms of redeeming yourself from your crimes."

"Although I am unlikely to let you go, your wife and children will most likely not be implicated."

"You must work hard."

Wu Yanhao patted Cui Liang's shoulder gently and encouraged him.

Cui Liang knew that he was going to die, but for the sake of his family, he had no choice but to write down everything that had happened over the years.

"By the way, to prevent you from harboring any illusions, I want to tell you that the Iron Hand Group is like a grasshopper in autumn, and they won't be able to jump for many days."

"It won't be long before they die in our hands."

……

At 7:00 pm, in Yangzhou City, in the secret room of Prince Ying’s Mansion.

The sixth hall master Shi Xiong, the seventh hall master Xiong Sha, the eighth hall master Pi Xiu, the ninth hall master Suanni, the tenth hall master Mang Tai, the eleventh hall master Jiao Gang, the twelfth hall master Huo Qiang, the thirteenth hall master Diao Qing and the fourteenth hall master Gui Jie appeared on time in Prince Ying's mansion.

Yuan Qi arrived late with Long Feng, Hu Yun and Chen Yiqu. When he saw that there were nine empty chairs, Yuan Qi almost vomited blood.

"I have so many elite members in the Iron Hand Group, how come we are the only ones left now?"
