Chapter 58: Liang Hu commits suicide, a corrupt old monster Although Liang Hu was a flag bearer under the Outer South Division. But he was not a close confidant of Han Zheng, the commander-in-chief. Ever since Liang Hu's sister married into the Liu family. This person can basically be regarded as a thorn planted by the local forces of Gaoliu City in the Jiantian Division. He is the Liu family's spy stationed in Wainansi. It just so happened that Liang Hu was born in Qifeng Prefecture and had once served as a guard under Li Shenzong. Li Shenzong is in a high position and has great power, so the Heavenly Supervisor of Gaoliu City has to give him some face. "In fact, I was the one who helped you get rid of a problem, but you gained a lot of benefits." Lin Yan glanced at him and said, "How do you know that I will definitely kill Liang Hu tonight?"
"You once said that you have always been kind to others and have no enemies." General Han said calmly: "If you don't kill Liang Hu and his men tonight, you will have enemies." After that, General Han spoke again, saying, "Don't you have any idea of your bad reputation in Gaoliu City?" "What's the bad name?" Lin Yan frowned and said, "This is not fearing authority, punishing evil and promoting good!" "..." General Han was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "But you are relatively prudent in doing things." "At least at this moment, everyone thinks that Linjiang Division's flag bearer Wu Chang left the city in the afternoon and has not returned." "It is me who knows your true identity. So when I heard that Wuchang and Lin Yan left the city together, but only Xiaoqi Lin Yan returned, I knew what you were going to do!" "I'll finish this matter for you, but there's one thing..." General Han said solemnly: "Killing Liang Hu is enough! Deputy Commander Zhao Yuan, you can't kill him for the time being!" Lin Yan frowned and asked, "Why?" General Han said slowly, "He is the high-ranking official of Jie Jin that I have been keeping an eye on!" In an instant, many thoughts arose in Lin Yan's mind, and immediately became clear. "So, it wasn't because of the letter sent by Linjiang Division that made the deputy envoy dissatisfied?" "It was purely because of what happened at Niujiao Mountain last night. He wanted to test your strength, but he didn't expect that you would be so stubborn and almost killed him." At this point, General Han looked at Lin Yan deeply and said, "I thought I had already overestimated you, but I never thought that your talent is far beyond my expectations!" "I thought you had already become an extremely gifted person because you had cultivated inner strength. I was afraid that others would be jealous, so I kept it a secret for you." "I never thought that you would reach the pinnacle of inner strength in one step."
There was emotion and relief in General Han's eyes. Lin Yan hesitated and was about to speak and explain. But General Han waved his hand and spoke again: "With your age and the years you have practiced, I can hardly protect you from such an astonishing progress." "It was because Lord Lu stepped in and blocked the way for you, otherwise many people would want to take advantage of you." "He has the potential to become a strong man, so he is hailed as a genius... But in the inner city, there are many truly strong people." "Among them, there are some seniors, such as Lord Lu and the Great Commander of Zhaozhou, who attach great importance to talents and even cultivate them to train the backbone of the human race in the future." At this point, General Han couldn't help but sigh and whispered, "But there are also some so-called strong people who hold different attitudes." "They believe that Gaoliu City has existed for 120 years and has not been destroyed by the night, so it is safe and secure." "So, they just want to consolidate their current power. The talents in Gaoliu City must either be used by them or be strangled when they are weak." "They are afraid of rising stars who might shake their power and status." When General Han said this, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "These corrupt old guys have long lost their former passion and ambition." Lin Yan suddenly fell silent. He just lowered his head and looked at the knife at his waist. His current cultivation level is not enough to overthrow the entire Gaoliu City, so some of the words he said seemed too empty. But he believed that one day, with the knife in his hand, he could pierce through the current corrupt rules! One day, we will bury those old monsters who are getting older but still suppress the younger generations, ignore the situation of future generations of human beings, and want to continue to dominate all living beings! "Oh, there's one more thing. There's an old guy from the Liu family in Liang Hu's house." "Huh?" "I have cut off his head." "Well, we can blame it on Liang Hu." "Liang Hu was shot in the back with an arrow and stabbed in the back with a knife." "Why do you always like to stab people in the back?" General Han could not help but rub his brows and said, "It will be difficult for the two of them to commit suicide in this way..." According to past rules, this case should be investigated jointly by the Outer South Yamen, the Liu family in the inner city, and the Jiantian Division. His original intention was to take the initiative and do some tricks to cover it up. But this way of dying can't be considered suicide. Just when General Han was feeling helpless, he saw Lin Yan reach into his arms and take out a booklet. "Take a look at this." "Ok?"
General Han opened the booklet, glanced at it, and raised his eyebrows. The last page contains Liang Hu’s evidence. But in the first few pages, it was not Liang Hu. These names made General Han's eyes look a little strange. After a moment, he closed the book and exhaled: "It's okay, they both committed suicide." Lin Yan was quite surprised when he heard this. Han Zongqi Envoy smiled and said, "I probably don't need to do anything. The Liu family will do it and set up a suicide scene." He put the book away and said calmly, "You can even use some flaws to question whether Liang Hu was killed by someone, accuse the Liu family of covering up the truth, and extort some money from the Liu family." Lin Yan said slowly: "So the Liu family also knows that their dealings with Liang Hu are not to be made public, right?" "People who do evil often know better than anyone how vicious their deeds are!" Han Zongqi Envoy responded, and then said: "I'll take the booklet. As for the matter of the children, I'll have someone take care of it tonight!" Lin Yan nodded and reminded: "This is not the first time, nor the only time! Liang Hu and others have probably been operating for a long time..." "No one involved in this case will escape!" General Han looked solemn, and his tone was somewhat cold. He said this, and then said: "As it involves the death of Liang Hu, the merit of this case cannot be recorded in your name, but I will convert it and collect the medicinal bath materials and Zengyuan Pill on your behalf." "Let the general commander arrange it." Lin Yan nodded. "As you wish?" Han Zongqi Envoy sneered and said, "I've already said that you are not allowed to collect salaries without working, but you are actually collecting two salaries? If you add a few more fake identities, you can just collect all the twelve small flags by yourself!" Lin Yan whispered, "It's not impossible, even if I'm alone, I can calm the people in Linjiangfang." Han Zongqi was so angry that his face turned black, and he angrily said: "You kid, you are really..." "The old slave sent by the Liu family has no money on him. His family should be very wealthy and is in the inner city." "You are really likable." Han Zongqi touched his chin and said, "Generally speaking, people who do dirty things like this will set up businesses outside and hide their treasures." "So, while the Liu family hasn't reacted yet, I will go to the inner city tonight to check his background and take him away at night?" "Wu Chang, do you think this is feasible?" General Han looked at Lin Yan and asked. Lin Yan did not respond, but said thoughtfully: "The three small flags under my command..."
"What do you mean by three small flags? Aren't there twelve?" Han, the general flag envoy, said solemnly: "I have approved the list of the twelve small flags you submitted." (End of this chapter)
