While Zhang Yong was hesitating, Li Hao suddenly jumped off his horse and kicked Zhang Yong in the stomach. The person did not even have time to react before he fell to the ground and could not struggle. "Take him down!"
He didn't have time to waste here. The longer he delayed, the more likely it would be for an accident to happen. Looking at the anxious Fang Hongliang, Li Hao smiled.""General Fang is also here. Then there's no need to trouble me to make another trip!”
He glanced at him coldly and ordered the guards on his left and right,"Take him away!"
According to Di Renjie's instructions, he left behind most of the Thousand Bull Guards and the Emissary's Guards to suppress the camp. There weren't many soldiers in the entire camp, only about two thousand. The composition was complicated, and only the united soldiers were easily unstable.
From entering the camp to capturing Zhang Yong and Fang Hongliang out of the camp, it took less than two quarters of an hour. After returning to the city, Li Hao finally relaxed.
Li Hao went out of the city to take over the generals. Di Renjie was also quickly moving in the city. The remaining Thousand Bull Guards and the Demotion Envoy Guards were ordered to secretly go to the various city gates to take over the defense. The arsenal and granary were also taken over. Di Renjie was clear that as long as Youzhou City was under his control, he could handle any storm!
Holding Zhang and Fang, he flew straight to the Governor's Office. At this time, the Governor's Office was still peaceful, as if it reflected Fatty Di's calm state of mind.
When he heard that Di Renjie was in the East Courtyard, he ordered people to keep Zhang Yong and Fang Hongliang in the hall. Li Hao went straight to find Di Renjie.
Along the way, it was obvious that the defensive power of the Governor's Office had decreased a little after sending out so many guards.
When he arrived at the main hall of the eastern courtyard, he saw Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang suddenly fly out of the hall, the weapons in their hands already unsheathed.
"What's wrong?" Li Hao was stunned.
Hu Jinghui stared at Li Hao warily, causing Li Hao's heart to thump. Li Yuan Fang also looked at Li Hao with a frown, which made him even more puzzled.
As he followed the two into the hall, Li Hao immediately understood what was going on. On the side seat in the hall, the Guangping County Magistrate, Zhao Chuanchen, had a serene expression. His eyes were open and his mouth was wide open…
"He's already dead!" Di Renjie stood beside him and said in a deep voice.
"How is this possible!" Li Yuanfang cried out involuntarily.
"He was talking about something important just now. He definitely wouldn't die for no reason!”Di Renjie said with certainty.
"But if it was an assassin, General Hu and I flew out, but there was no trace of an assassin!”"I don't believe that there's anyone in this world who can kill someone in front of General Hu and me without leaving a trace!"”
Hu Jinghui spoke at this moment,"We were outside the hall and only saw General Li!"”
Di Renjie raised his head upon hearing this. A look of suspicion flashed in his eyes. He glanced at Li Hao and then fell into deep thought. Li Hao wasn't stupid. He wondered if Fatty Di would suspect him…
"General Hu, what do you mean?”Staring at Hu Jinghui, Li Hao said coldly.
After discovering Zhao Chuanchen's death, Li Hao remembered that this was clearly Hu Jinghui's doing! However, looking at his performance, he was going to fall on him!
" Nothing much…" Meeting Li Hao's gaze, Hu Jinghui said indifferently,""However, there was an accident in this hall and Zhao Chuanchen died. When we flew out, we met you, General Li. Isn't this a little too much of a coincidence?"
Seeing Hu Jinghui's expression, Li Hao was slightly angry in his heart. He had an expression that said,""When I arrived at the Flower Hall, I saw you and Brother Yuanfang leave. The guards outside the hall can testify. General Hu didn't ask before and after, but suspected this general with a single sentence. Did he have other intentions?”
"Humph!" Hu Jinghui raised his head and looked straight at Li Hao.""I only believe what I saw with my own eyes. When we left the hall, you were the closest to the flower hall!”
Li Hao cursed in his heart. He almost said," It was clearly you who did it ", but he held back. Taking a deep breath, Li Hao cupped his hands at Di Renjie and said,""Milord, Hu Jinghui is slandering people and is being suspicious. Milord, please don't listen to his slanderous words!”
"What do you mean by slander? If you have something suspicious, why don't you allow me to say it?”Hu Jinghui said disdainfully,"Instead, you're so agitated. Could it be that you have a guilty conscience?"”
Hearing this, Li Hao looked at Hu Jinghui and his expression slowly changed. He regained his composure and said,""Why should I argue with you? With Daren's sharp eyes, he can naturally distinguish right from wrong!”
Li Hao's expression changed, causing Hu Jinghui to be stunned.
"Alright, stop arguing!" Di Renjie waved his hand to stop Hu Jinghui from speaking.""The cause of Zhao Chuanchen's death is unknown. Perhaps it was really an accidental death? Don't hurt your relationship because of this…"
Li Hao had been paying attention to Hu Jinghui's expression and noticed a hint of complacency. Li Hao knew that this Hu Jinghui was just trying to use him to divert Di Renjie's attention…
He snorted coldly in his heart, You think you're so smart? I'm afraid this will only arouse Di Renjie's suspicion! What are you so smug about? I just f * cked your woman in broad daylight…"
"Send Zhao Chuanchen's body down and let the coroner do an autopsy. We must find out the cause of death!”Di Renjie called in a guard and instructed.
Then, he looked at Li Hao." How are things on your side? Are there any accidents? How's the situation at the Northwest Camp?"”
Li Hao bowed to Di Renjie again and slowly reported,""Milord, Zhang Yong and Fang Hongliang have been locked up and brought back to the residence. Only Hu Jinbao resisted with a knife and was beheaded by this general! Right now, the Thousand Bull Guards and the Emissary's Guards were suppressing the camp. Without a leader, even if there were disloyal soldiers, they wouldn't be able to cause any big waves!”
"Good! Good!" Upon hearing the news, Di Renjie's expression relaxed. He smiled at Li Hao and said,""Li Hao, you did well! With the city in hand and the military camp settled, let's see what tricks Fang Qian and Wu Yizhi can play!”
"Jinghui, Yuanfang, let's interrogate Zhang Yong and Fang Hongliang separately and get the name list of Fang Qian's party! Especially those in the army!"
"Yes, sir!"
……
"Milord, something bad has happened!" In the governor's office, Wu Yizhi rushed into the back hall in panic.
Fang Qian was feeling uneasy. Seeing this, he quickly supported Wu Yizhi."What's wrong?"
"We've been tricked! Di Renjie was waiting for us to assassinate Zhao Chuanchen, but only one of the people he sent returned. He didn't succeed and was captured instead. Now that Zhao Chuanchen had been brought back to the state capital, he would definitely confess about the Tianbao Bank!”Wu Yizhi wailed.
