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

Chapter 701 Knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger

Hu Jinghui in mid-air attacked as fast as lightning, killing twenty or thirty people in one breath. After his body flew past, only corpses were left on the ground.

"This is a monster!"

Someone shouted loudly, but the people in the Cai Mansion finally felt fear.

Hu Jinghui had already killed three or four times, with countless souls on his hands. After flying over everyone's heads again, he landed steadily under the eaves and stood still.

"Hmph, you evil beasts disrespect the king and openly rebel against him, your crime is unforgivable!"

"I, General Hu Jinghui of the Qianniu Guard, have been ordered by the King of Qin and the King of Liang to surround you!"

"If you know what's good for you, put down your weapons immediately and I'll spare your lives. Otherwise, don't blame me for killing you all!"

The servants said nothing, but just kept waving their swords and charging towards Hu Jinghui.

As members of the Cai family, they will never obey the orders of others until their death, even if they are destined to die.

Hu Jinghui roared angrily, drew the sword from his waist, held the sword in his left hand and the knife in his right hand, and rushed forward like a dump truck.

The servants and guards who tried to stop him were no match for him. Blood splattered everywhere, corpses fell, and heads dropped to the ground.

In just a dozen breaths, the Qianniu Guards rushed in and, together with Hu Jinghui, surrounded all the servants and guards.

The killing lasted for a whole incense stick. After most of them were killed, the remaining servants and guards could no longer bear it. They dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

In the main hall, Cai Wuhai, who was sitting alone, silently raised his head and looked at the group of Qianniu guards who had gathered around him. He was unexpectedly calm.

"It seems you are ready to die."

Hu Jinghui, his body covered in blood, came in with a sword and a knife in his hand, his eyes full of brutality.

"Thanks to you, no one in the Cai Mansion will be left alive after tonight."

"I really don't understand why you, as a big family in Luzhou, would take the risk of attacking the imperial envoy."

Cai Wuhai didn't understand, but he didn't want to ask.

He knew all the bad things he had done.

In the past, he always thought that what he did was flawless, and the imperial court would not directly send troops to suppress it out of consideration for the reputation of those aristocratic families.

Now he feels that he was a big idiot before.

He had clearly done nothing these days, but the imperial army was about to destroy his entire family.

This says a lot.

The emperor didn't give them any chance to quibble or retreat.

"You're too calm. Your calmness makes me a little unhappy."

"Why, Patriarch Cai Wuhai, have you already prepared for failure?"

Hu Jinghui walked up and stared at Cai Wuhai who remained silent.

"I lost because I wasn't as skilled as him, but I'm really curious if Lu Dayou is really dead."

When Cai Wuhai was about to die, he completely accepted his fate.

I just don’t know where his stupid son Cai Wentao is now.

"Huh, how do I know where Lu Dayou is?"

"I'm not talking about you assassinating Lu Dayou, but about you sending people to assassinate the King of Qin and the King of Liang tonight!"

You old pig, at this point, you're still trying to pretend you know nothing. Do you really think you can hide this from us?"

Cai Wuhai was stunned.

How could he not know that he had sent people to assassinate the King of Qin and the King of Liang?

"Why bother to accuse someone?"

"I lost the game by a single move, so I lost. General, there's no need to insult me like that."

Hu Jinghui didn't bother to say anything more and just raised his hand and slashed with a knife.

Blood gushed out like a fountain, rushing into the air and falling down again. Hu Jinghui withdrew early and strode out of the room.

"Take the head of this old pig-dog and hang it up at the city gate."

"Then, conduct a city-wide search for this old pig-dog's accomplices. Don't let any of them go."

The Qianniu Guards had no idea who Cai Wuhai's accomplices were, so they looked at each other, and finally their eyes all focused on Hu Jinghui.

Hu Jinghui saw that everyone was looking at him, and then he realized that he had overlooked the most important thing.

"Go to each of the major families. The list of those families is with Zhang Huan. Divide the work and make sure to visit each family. Return to the Governor's Mansion before dawn and wait for orders."

……

Zhang Huan, who was originally guarding the front yard, took everyone to Shangdang County after receiving Hu Jinghui's order to search for people in various major families.

Of course, after a whole night, no one was found.

It only achieved the purpose of making a show of force to scare the enemy.

As soon as the sky was getting light, the patriarchs of several families chose to go out with gifts and went all the way to the governor's mansion.

It was already freezing cold this season, and the heads of the major families had their faces turned blue from the cold, but they did not dare to show any disrespect.

The Qianniu guards who were guarding outside the governor's mansion took a look at these clan leaders, thinking that they had not received any tribute yet, so they simply raised their heads and looked down on these clan leaders of big families.

Many clan leaders were dissatisfied, but they did not dare to act rashly. Li Qi, the head of the Li clan, walked out trembling, looked back at everyone, and after seeing the desire in their eyes, he slowly walked towards the Qianniu Guards guarding the gate, and tremblingly took out gold and silver from his arms.

"My dear soldiers, it's freezing cold, and you've all worked so hard. This small token of my appreciation is not enough to express my respect, so just think of it as me treating you to a couple of glasses of hot wine to warm you up."

As high-spirited as Li Qi was yesterday, he is in such a mess today.

Facing the ordinary soldiers whom he had always looked down upon, he lowered his posture and spoke in a humble tone.

Several soldiers looked at each other, and the leader took the gold and silver jewelry, weighed them, and then looked at Li Qi with a grin.

"I haven't asked for your name yet."

Li Qi bowed deeply: "Xiao Ke, Li Qi from the Li family."

"Oh, Li Qi, right? What's up with you?"

"I, Li Qi, have come specially to pay my respects to the respected Governor of Henan, Grand Master of the Imperial Palace, Minister of the Imperial Court of Fengtai, Minister of Luzhou, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, and the Right Prime Minister of Wenchang, His Royal Highness the Prince of Liang."

The sergeant snorted softly.

"There are so many of you, and you only give me this little, and you still want to meet the two princes?"

Li Qi was so angry that he was shaking all over. Wasn't that bag of gold and silver jewelry enough? This grandson couldn't even put it all in his arms, and yet he still thought it was not enough?

After a long time, Li Qi clasped his fists, came back to find everyone, and asked for a lot of gold and silver jewelry. He gave a package to each of them, and only then did the Qianniu Guards give up.

The leading Qianniu Guard raised his head and said:

"You still have some filial piety, so I'll let you know."

"Of course, whether the two princes are willing to see you depends on their mood."

"Also, regardless of whether the two princes are willing to see you or not, all this gold and silver is ours, and we will not return it."

"If you dare to ask us for it, or make a scene here, don't blame the sharp knife in my hand."

"Okay, wait here."
