Chapter 806
Just when the Great Tang monarch and his ministers were discussing how to deal with the war reparations demanded by Great Qin.
Qin Mu was walking swaggeringly on the streets of Jin Ling with Wu Meiniang and Yue Fei.
Wu Meiniang, who was in Jin Ling for the first time, was very excited.
She kept looking here and there.
Wu Meiniang had stayed in Chang'an for a long time; what hadn't she seen? She wasn't actually curious about the things on the street.
It was just that, as a concubine of Great Qin's inner palace, she had snuck into the capital of an enemy country.
She felt this was very exciting!
"Your Majesty, there is a betel nut shop over there; shall we go buy some to taste?"
Betel nut!
Qin Mu suddenly remembered that the only clue about the assassins who assassinated the Great Tang mission was betel nut, wasn't it?
He had let Yu Huatian investigate for so long; he didn't know if he had found the murderer yet?
He stepped into this betel nut shop.
Wu Meiniang happily bought a bag of betel nuts and fed one to Qin Mu.
At this moment, someone suddenly came to Qin Mu and whispered "Your Majesty."
It was Yu Huatian.
There were often guests coming into the outer room of the shop, so it was not a place to talk.
Yu Huatian took a few people to the back of the shop.
It turned out that this shop had also been bought by the Embroidered Uniform Guard and was now Great Qin property.
"Yu Huatian, I sent you to investigate a group of assassins, but you've opened a shop and started doing business here. Have the assassins been found?"
Yu Huatian smiled embarrassedly.
"There are clues. Your Majesty, your servant bought this betel nut shop in order to lure out the big fish behind it."
Qin Mu wasn't really blaming Yu Huatian; he believed he knew what to do.
It was just a casual remark.
"What big fish is hiding behind it? Is there any progress?"
Yu Huatian nodded.
"In the Pujiusi Temple in the suburbs of Jin Ling, a group of killers is hidden. They have been hiding in Jin Ling, seemingly with some ulterior motives."
"After such a long time of investigation, your servant has already found out that the master of this group of killers is named Yin Hongzhi."
Qin Mu knew this person, Yin Hongzhi.
Speaking of which, he was also one of Li Er's brothers-in-law.
However, because of the hatred of his family being wiped out, he had always been superficially respectful to Li Er while secretly engaging in some rebellious activities.
"You've already found the person; haven't you caught them?"
Qin Mu frowned at Yu Huatian.
Yu Huatian's smile faded, and he hurriedly bowed to reply.
"Your Majesty, Yin Hongzhi returned to Ganzhou; he is serving as a long-term official in the residence of the Prince of Qi, Li You."
"After your servant found him, I set off for Ganzhou. But I was a step slow; the person had already been caught by Cheng Yaojin."
The Great Tang's actions this time were quite fast.
Qin Mu said.
"Since they have already caught him, let's leave it at that. Next, it will be their internal struggle."
Yu Huatian seemed still somewhat ashamed.
After all, Great Qin had always been winning. This time, however, he had lost to the Great Tang in this invisible competition of catching assassins.
"Your Majesty, your servant has acquired one hundred shops in Jin Ling in one go."
"Through these shops, I am keeping an eye on the movements of the Great Tang at all times."
"Such a thing will never happen again in the future!"
"Hmm!"
Qin Mu didn't take this matter as a big deal.
The fact that the Great Tang side could catch Yin Hongzhi so quickly might be due to some other inside information.
This was not a competition to begin with.
"One hundred shops, then how is it such a coincidence that you are in this betel nut shop?"
Meeting Yu Huatian here today was purely a coincidence.
Yu Huatian said.
"Your Majesty, your servant discovered that new people have been coming to the shop recently."
"I suspect whether there might be assassins who have snuck into Jin Ling to rescue Yin Hongzhi?"
Rescue Yin Hongzhi?
If that's the case, it would be interesting.
So Yu Huatian was here, preparing to watch those assassins who had just snuck into Jin Ling?
Qin Mu thought for a moment and decided to make an interesting arrangement.
"Yu Huatian, if you can help these people, then just help them along the way. I want to see them cause trouble for the Great Tang imperial court."
"Yes!"
Yu Huatian also smiled sinisterly.
This is indeed more interesting; rather than struggling to stir things up in Great Tang territory himself, it is better to slightly support those "rebels."
Qin Mu added another sentence.
"If you rescue Yin Hongzhi, you can reveal your identity to him. Warn him not to mess around in Great Qin territory in the future!"
Reveal the Embroidered Uniform Guard identity?
This is interesting.
