"Where are the Thirteen Gangsters?"
In the Public House, Tong Guan shouted at a servant the moment he returned.
"Old Master, the 13 Gangsters are all here. What instructions do you have? This old servant will call them over to pay their respects.”
"Tell them to kill Ximen Qing and bring his head to me!”Tong Guan was still furious.
"Yes, Master!"
Tong Guan's old servant walked out of the courtyard and called a lean young servant over to give him the task that Tong Guan had assigned him.
The young servant bowed and immediately ran out.
The Thirteen Gangsters 'encampment was in the western part of the city, but he took a turn in the alley and went straight to Ximen Qiao Manor.
That's right, he was also a member of Ximen Qiao's intelligence team.
When Shu Xiang heard his secret report, he hurriedly sent a messenger pigeon to the Yushitai Yamen. Ximen Qiao was there collecting the corrupt materials of Tong Guan Yi.
In the army, Tong Guan had the greatest influence, followed by Gao Qiu. However, there was still a huge gap between the two. Tong Guan directly controlled 800,000 Imperial Army soldiers, while Gao Qiu controlled the armies of the various prefectures.
The vast majority of the Imperial Army's minor commanders had the phenomenon of having their salaries empty. Just these 800,000 Imperial Army soldiers were a huge bubble. After the intelligence team's investigation, the actual number of Imperial Army soldiers was less than 300,000.
One could imagine how serious the situation of the imperial court's army being paid without pay was.
Ximen Qiao was currently concentrating on verifying the corruption figures of the Imperial Army generals. This was the most fatal blow to Tong Guan.
When the messenger pigeon sent the message of the book fragrance, Ximen Qiao was still unclear about the title of the Thirteen Gangsters. Was it an official position or thirteen people?
He decided to go home first to resolve this urgent matter, while the Imperial Army generals were handed over to the Imperial Censorate officials he had promoted.
After the order to investigate the 13 Gangsters was given, the entire intelligence team began to work on it. Soon, the information about the 13 Gangsters was placed on Ximen Qiao's desk.
" The Thirteen Gangsters are Tong Guan's thirteen godsons. All of them are skilled in martial arts and are good at fighting. Until now, not many people have seen their true faces. Their main responsibility is to eliminate Tong Guan's political enemies. Assassination is their main responsibility. Three Ministers of War were killed, two Grand Marshals were killed, and the provincial governors were assassinated countless times. They all disobeyed him and never failed.”
Ximen Qiao looked at the simple report. Even such a simple report had been compiled by dozens of informants.
This was a little tricky. The enemy was in the dark, and they did not know when to attack or what method to use.
Ximen Qiao called over the Six Beauties of Tianshan. They were now Ximen Qiao's most capable assistants. In terms of martial arts, they were all first-class experts.
"What is the ranking of the Thirteen Gangsters in Jianghu?”Ximen Qiao asked Reba.
"Sir, the Thirteen Gangsters have never been in the martial world. We don't know much about them. However, from the fact that they were able to kill Desert Wolf Dugu Yan, we can draw a preliminary conclusion that their martial arts should be above the six of us.”Reba said.
"Wasn't the Desert Wolf Grand Marshal Liu's personal guard in the past?”Ximen Qiao said. After the anti-corruption campaign, he was already very familiar with the personnel of the imperial court. He could be said to know the important officials like the back of his hand.
"That's right!"
"Do you think the Thirteen Gangsters will choose when and where to act?”Ximen Qiao asked again.
"Sir, according to the way they killed Dugu Yan, they liked to kill people in the middle of the city during the day.”
"It's really the opposite. Choosing to kill in the middle of the city during the day was even more intimidating. But what martial arts did they use?”Ximen Qiao said.
"Sir, we don't know about this. I think not many people in the Jianghu know about it. However, our master said a long time ago that there was a Thirteen Maiden Formation. It was very powerful.”Reba said.
"I heard from Eldest Senior Brother that the Thirteen Gangsters were once killed by Zen Master Yun Ding. Zen Master Yun Ding was ranked sixth among the Top Ten Experts of the World of Martial Arts.”Tong Li interjected.
"I've also heard that these 13 Gangsters don't show their faces when they kill. They are covered up tightly and their attacks are vicious. They directly take people's lives and never fight with others. Entanglement." Tong Ya also gestured.
