Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1219

Xu Shan was so angry because the other party's methods were too cruel.

Moreover, it is extremely provocative.

Li Yuanfang, arriving as an imperial envoy, boldly reformed and consolidated the local military command.

Just as Wei He, a local Imperial Guard, was actively courting the Cui family of Qinghe, who were suspected of treason, the entire family was wiped out by bandits.

A family of more than ten people, all of them were killed!

Even the documents that handled these clues were implicated.

This put Li Yuanfang, who was just preparing to thoroughly investigate the Cui family of Qinghe, in a passive position...

It was like being slapped hard across the face from afar.

If the Zhenfu Division fails to respond to this matter for a long time, then their attempt to gain leverage in the north will be nothing short of a pipe dream.

The tragic consequences of those who came before will deter even more people with clues from stepping forward.

At that time, the Embroidered Uniform Guard would truly become a laughing stock in the area.

"Your subordinate is ashamed to have failed your entrustment, sir."

"I humbly beg Your Honor to punish me."

Li Yuanfang, who did not defend himself, immediately knelt down on one knee to beg for forgiveness.

Before the man could even kneel down, Xu Shan lifted him up and said, "I'm asking you, is the knife sharp?"

"No, I'm here to demand an explanation!"

"profit!"

"Brothers, you've fought against both celestial beings and earth demons with me. Why would you care about a powerful clan?"

Li Yuanfang understood this principle as well.

She was also filled with resentment.

However, the Cui family of Qinghe was too deeply entrenched in the area.

According to his investigation, the garrisons in Lu and Yi counties either consisted of their own clansmen or had been corrupted by them.

It even has intricate connections with the Jiaozhou Navy stationed in the Bohai Bay.

At this time, the Tatars and the Manchus are joining forces to march south.

If another mutiny were to occur in the rear of Beiliang, causing logistical supplies to be disrupted, it would affect the entire war situation.

That's why he hesitated.

"I know you're thinking of the bigger picture and don't dare to launch a radical counterattack. You're afraid it might affect the war situation in the north!"

"But the more timid we are, the more arrogant the other side becomes."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanfang immediately clasped his hands and said, "Please, my lord, grant me a chance to make amends."

"Your subordinates will be motivated by shame and strive to improve."

"Yuanfang, revenge must be taken. And it must be done quickly, ruthlessly, and accurately!"

"But how you report it is very important."

After saying this, Xu Shan looked at the map and said, "There are so many bandits around Wucheng."

"Even the local garrison was helpless."

"Yesterday, even the emperor's personal guards died. Why can't the Cui family members and their followers in Wucheng be slaughtered tonight?"

After Xu Shan finished speaking, Li Yuanfang, who had been by his side for so long, instantly understood his master's intention.

He quickly clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Your subordinate knows what to do."

"You personally oversee the operation... and have the people from the Dark Moon Pavilion cooperate with Ye Lin's team."

"I'll remember that, Yuanfang!"

"Since Wei He has voluntarily pledged allegiance to you, then he is now your soldier..."

“If your soldiers are slaughtered, you must make them pay tenfold or a hundredfold.”

"Before dawn, I will not allow a single member of the Cui family from Qinghe to remain in Wucheng."

"Even if he serves in the garrison in Wucheng, he will still be beheaded!"

"Yes!"

With murderous intent in his eyes, Li Yuanfang uttered this word and then stormed out of the camp.

After he left, Xu Shan stared at the map and said, "Heavenly Blood!"

"exist."

"Where are the Central Plains Tiger Warriors?"

Upon hearing his master's words, Tianxue, who had come ahead to prepare for the mission, quickly replied, "We have already entered Lu County. With today's rapid march, we should be able to reach Wucheng tomorrow."

"Where is the Jiujiang Navy's assault battalion?"

"With the help of the Exploding Sky Gang, we can reach Dezhou in the next two days via the Grand Canal."

"In addition, the Jiangnan navy, with Shenji Shu serving as its supervisor, has also entered the sea from Lianyungang. It is expected to reach the Bohai Strait in three days."

Tianxue briefly explained the current movements of the various armies, and then Xu Shan handed his waist pouch to Tianxue, saying, "Take my waist token and order someone to immediately go to Hengyang to mobilize the Beiliang army stationed there."

"Two days later, move closer to Qinghe."

"Yes."

Tianxue, having received the token from Xu Shan, vanished instantly.

Xu Da Guanren, who had been standing alone in front of the map for a long time, struck the Qinghe River heavily with the back of his finger with a loud 'bang'.

"I'll see how many rounds of suppression a clan with a history spanning hundreds of years can withstand!"

Inside a private room of the Cui family's teahouse in Wucheng...

Several generals dressed in the uniforms of the local garrison, along with a few local officials, sat around Cui Ran, the person in charge of the Cui family in Qinghe.

As the direct descendant of the Cui family of Qinghe...

Although Cui Ran held no official position and was ostensibly just a merchant, all the officials and generals present treated him with utmost respect.

His purpose in coming to Wucheng to oversee the overall situation was, frankly, to 'block' the investigation by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The massacre of Wei He's entire family was personally planned by him.

"Has the imperial court gone mad?"

"Dare to send the Embroidered Uniform Guard to investigate the Cui family of Qinghe at this time?"

"It is said that the leader is Li Yuanfang, Xu Bantian's right-hand man."

"That's quite a sight!"

"But today, shouldn't you be able to recognize your place here?"

"Haha."

When Cui Meng, the commander of the Wucheng garrison, finished speaking with a hint of tyranny, the huge scene erupted in laughter.

Even Cui Ran, who was in charge, showed a disdainful smile when he heard this.

But after a cold laugh, he still asked, "What's Lord Li's reaction now?"

"What's the reaction?"

"They're investigating this case like headless flies!"

"They even sent people to borrow troops from us to suppress the bandits."

"I dismissed him with just a few words."

After Cui Meng finished speaking, the laughter from the crowd became even more jarring.

"Is Wucheng the capital?"

"He's a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard; he can do whatever he wants right under the emperor's nose. But here..."

"Even dragons must coil up, and tigers must lie low!"

"Not lying down? Not sitting up?"

"We will make it impossible for them to move an inch."

"that's right!"

There was absolutely no respect for the 'Emperor's personal guards' in the crowd's words.

It even contained a hint of disdain.

"Second Uncle, the imperial court dares to order people to investigate our Cui family."

"If we don't make any move, wouldn't the Empress think we're easy to manipulate?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Ran confidently replied, "The old man has already secretly given instructions to each branch."

"The transport of grain and cotton clothing to the north shall be suspended for the time being."

"We have to let the imperial court know..."

"Without the Cui family of Qinghe to coordinate and supply the troops, the Northern Liang army would be left with nothing but the northwest wind when fighting against the Tartars."

After Cui Ran finished speaking, the garrison commanders and officials of Wucheng present immediately echoed, "That's right!"

"The imperial court will have to beg us."
