Before leaving, Li Huan gave him a brief introduction to Zhao Zhi and Chen Yidao, the backbone of Langqi Island.
Without Li Huan having to say anything, Chen Yao knew exactly what attitude he should take when facing Zhao Zhi and Chen Yidao.
Even though his official position was higher than that of Zhao Zhi and Chen Yidao, when facing the two of them, Chen Yao did not dare to take advantage of them at all. When he saw the two coming, he stood up and saluted.
Chen Yidao supported Chen Yao and grinned: "Since Brother Huan sent you to deliver the message, he must regard you as one of his own family members. We are not so particular. Come and tell me, Brother Huan."
How is it in the capital now?"
The three of them sat down with each other, and Chen Yao began to tell Chen Yidao roughly what happened after Li Huan arrived in Beijing. Zhao Zhi and the others told Chen Yidao, and Chen Yidao and Chen Yidao were amazed.
Until dinner time, Chen Yidao and Zhao Zhi still tried their best to ask Chen Yao about Li Huan.
After having dinner and spending most of the day together, both parties had a rough understanding of each other's temperament, and now they were treating each other like brothers.
Zhao Zhi looked at Chen Yao and said, "Brother Chen, I'd like to ask you to help me bring a few letters when you leave tomorrow."
Chen Yao smiled and nodded: "This is a simple matter, just leave it to me."
Early the next morning, Chen Yao, accompanied by Chen Yidao and Zhao Zhi, visited Feng and Mrs. Lin, accepted the letter Feng asked him to bring to Li Huan, and then left Langqi Island.
It was late at night in Fuzhou City, and not a single human figure could be seen on the streets. Only the faint sound of the watchman's watch could be heard.
Suddenly, figures wrapped in night clothes appeared on the long street.
I saw these people, all of them tall and tall, holding cold-glow weapons in their hands, running towards a mansion silently.
This mansion is not considered luxurious, and the two stone lions at the door are not very eye-catching, but it can also be seen that the owner of this place is a member of the government.
One of the men in black waved his hand, and immediately figures jumped over the wall into the courtyard, and soon an extremely suppressed shout was heard.
"Kill for me, no matter who lives in the house, no one will be spared!"
Soon a scream was heard, followed by a powerful roar, and even the sound of a fierce fight was heard, but after a while, the sound of the fight disappeared.
It didn't take long for the flames to gradually spread, and even the fire spread at an abnormal speed. It was obvious that someone had specially added something to support the combustion. In the blink of an eye, the entire mansion was engulfed in flames.
As soon as the fire spread, the group of men in black disappeared around the corner of the street. At this time, someone discovered the fire and let out a scream of terror. Soon half of Fuzhou City was alarmed.
Chen Yao left Fuzhou City and went to Langqi Island. He came back and forth, and stayed at Langqi Island for a day. It was exactly three days before he returned to Fuzhou City.
Looking at the tall city gate from a distance, Chen Yao felt quite relaxed. Now he only needed to go see Han Ling. Then he had completed the task assigned to him by Li Huan and could return to the capital.
Returned to life.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly glanced and saw a group of people gathered at the city gate, seemingly looking at the notice posted on the city wall.
Chen Yao looked at the group of people and felt a little curious in his heart. He subconsciously stepped forward and took a look. The content on the notice was extremely horrifying. It was actually a wanted group of pirates who had killed officials and rebelled.
Chen Yao couldn't help being shocked. In this day and age, killing officials was equivalent to rebellion. Naturally, few people dared to kill officials blatantly. He never thought that such a shocking thing would happen in Fuzhou City.
Suddenly, a person next to him was stroking his beard and exclaimed as if he was not surprised: "Only those pirates with bloody hands dare to do such treasonous things!"
Hearing this, a person on the side said: "I heard that the incident this time was very big. The person who died was not an ordinary person. It is said that he was a Qianhu official of the Jinyi Guard. I didn't see that the entire Fuzhou City was under martial law! It seemed like a guard outside the city.
All the troops and horses have entered the city."
Originally he was just sighing and didn't take it to heart. Chen Yao, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and froze, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.
Chen Yao was a little doubtful that he had heard wrongly. According to what the man just said, the person killed by the pirates turned out to be the Qianhu Official of the Jin Yiwei.
However, as far as he knew, there was only one Jinyiwei Qianhu officer in the huge Fujian province, and it was Han Ling, the Jinyiwei Qianhu officer who was stationed at the Jinyiwei Qianhu Office in Fuzhou Prefecture.
However, he only met Han Ling three days ago, and even before parting, Han Ling specifically agreed to meet at his residence today.
In just two or three days, such a shocking change happened.
After calming down his mind, Chen Yao pricked up his ears and began to pay attention to the comments of other people around him. However, there was nothing unusual about him. Just like everyone around him, he looked curious and joined in the fun.
After a while, Chen Yao withdrew from the crowd. At this time, he was already sure that the person who was killed was Han Ling, whom he had met not long ago.
Moreover, the murder happened last night. According to the news he heard, it seemed that it was at the third watch of the night.
A group of thieves appeared out of nowhere and stormed into Han Ling's home. There were more than a dozen people in the Han family including servants, but no one was left alive.
In the end, the group of thieves even set off a fire, burning Han Mansion to ashes.
At this moment, Chen Yao looked at the city gate again, his heart palpitating, and he took a deep breath. Chen Yao calmly and slowly followed the flow of people out of the city and gradually moved away.
It wasn't until he was some distance away from the city gate that Chen Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
With Chen Yao's many years of experience, even if the information he had was extremely limited, Chen Yao could feel that there was something strange about Han Ling's death just from the discussions of those people.
Generally speaking, thieves kill more to rob money. There are many wealthy merchants and wealthy gentry's houses in the city, so you can rob them with confidence.
It is rare to hear that thieves will take the initiative to provoke people in the government, especially those with thousands of royal guards like Han Ling, and no one is willing to provoke them.
But listening to the discussions of those people, in addition to Han Ling's entire family who was wiped out, the rest of the officials in the city may be from wealthy families, but none of them were affected. It was obvious that they were going after Han Ling.
"Could it be that……"
A thought flashed through Chen Yao's mind, and then he shuddered. He looked at the clothes on his body. Fortunately, he was wearing ordinary clothes today, and not the official uniform of the Jinyiwei Baihu. Otherwise, he suspected that he might appear as soon as he appeared.
People were watching right at the city gate.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yao looked around to make sure that he was not being watched. Then he glanced in the direction of Fuzhou City. With a hint of gleam in his eyes, he recognized the direction and strode away.
