The two men kept the bodyguard as if they had already agreed. One of them pulled Butler Su and rushed out with his sword, while the other one slashed at Yang Qiuchi!

"Looking for death!" Song Yun'er shouted, flipped her wrist, and protected Yang Qiuchi in her hand.

Yang Qiuchi's personal guard Xu Shiling had already stepped forward to draw his sword to stop the bodyguard, and the two fought together.

Nangong Xiong smiled and said, "Miss Song, these two thieves don't need you to do anything. Let's deal with him."

Xu Shiling was a master of the inner rank sent by Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty to protect Yang Qiuchi. How could this bodyguard be the opponent? While chatting and laughing, the bodyguard who rushed towards Yang Qiuchi had been cut off half of his head by Xu Shiling and fell to the ground and died. In a panic, another bodyguard also cut off one of his arm by a sword, and almost fainted from pain.

In the blink of an eye, two bodyguards were killed and injured. Butler Su was stunned. He knelt on the ground with a gurgle and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy. The guards stepped forward and shook the iron chains and locked them.

Yang Qiuchi ordered Butler Su and another injured bodyguard to be taken to prison, and then called Captain Zhan Zhengzhan.

As soon as Captain Zhan entered the flower room, he saw a corpse lying on the ground with a broken arm, and blood all over the ground. He was shocked and saw that Yang Qiuchi was safe and then he breathed a sigh of relief and asked what was going on.

Yang Qiuchi said: "Lu Jianli, the chief shopkeeper of the Boiling Gang, sent a butler Su Renfu and Su with two bodyguards to find me. He spoke rudely, threatened my official, and even attempted to attack me, but was killed on the spot."

"This... this is really too bold!" Captain Zhan said fiercely.

Yang Qiuchi smiled: "You take two brothers to the 'Boat Store' and ask them to tell the shopkeeper Lu Jianli, and then say if he has anything to come to me directly."

"Yes!" Captain Zhan agreed and walked out the door.

Song Yuner said to Yang Qiuchi: "Brother, you are really good at attracting snakes out of the cave. When Lu Jianli comes, we will find another fault to arrest him and investigate slowly. We will definitely find out the real murderer who killed Shen Zhizhou's wife and children."

Yang Qiuchi laughed and said, "I'm afraid that this old fox will suffer this loss and learn cunning. I dare not offend me. I will use another move to throw the Yi Bao car and throw the Butler Su away. Butler Su is the confidant of Manager Lu, and he may know a lot of inside information. Let's go and try to pry his mouth open!"

After leaving the flower room, it was already dark outside and a little drizzle was drizzling. I suddenly felt a little cool. It seemed that I couldn't accompany Song Qing to buy clothes today, and Yang Qiuchi had more important things to do.

When he arrived at the prison, Su Renfu, who was shackled, was still in shock and kept begging for mercy.

Yang Qiuchi said coldly: "If you lead someone to assassinate me, it will be a death sentence, and you should be very clear."

This is a bit far-fetched. In fact, Yang Qiuchi wanted to arrest them, and the two bodyguards resisted, and there was nothing about Butler Su Renfu and Su, but he was the master, and the bodyguards were protecting him. Therefore, of course, the consequences of the bodyguard's behavior had to be borne by him, which made it barely understandable. Besides, there were no outsiders at that time, and the two bodyguards died and were seriously injured. Yang Qiuchi insisted that it was Butler Su's command, but Butler Su could not argue, and his face turned pale.

Yang Qiuchi continued: "If you can honestly explain what your boat gang has done, I might be able to let you go. How about it?"

Butler Su knew that this time it fell into Yang Qiuchi's hands and had no good fruit, but he knew better what he would do to betray the Boat Gang. He gritted his teeth and didn't say anything.

Yang Qiuchi smiled and said, "Do you think I can't do anything if you don't speak? Tell you, I have a way. You should think about it first. Now I want to take your letter to Lin Xiang, maybe he has something to say. I hope you will speak when I come back and ask you. Otherwise, hum, be careful of your flesh and blood suffering!"

After saying that, Lin Xiang came to Lin Xiang's cell and brought Lin Xiang.

The ban chess set up the Taishi chairs, served incense tea, and all tactfully retreated.

Yang Qiuchi took out the letter from Manager Lu from his arms and threw it into the cell to show Lin Xiang. After Lin Xiang read the letter, he immediately collapsed on the ground.

Yang Qiuchi sneered: "Shopkeeper Lin, now your shopkeeper has written a letter to clearly ask me to handle it strictly in accordance with the law and kill someone to pay for his life. What else do you have to say? What else can you expect?"

Lin Xiang turned over and knelt down, cried loudly, and kowtowed, "Sir, please spare me, I have old men and young men, I don't want to die!"

Fear of the Death! Yang Qiuchi laughed in his heart and said, "Do you accept my previous suggestion now? If you want to be able to help me solve this case, I can handle you with lenient treatment based on the actual situation. If you have fewer guilt and have made great contributions, I can not even pursue you, but arrange for you and your family to go to a place you want to go, hide your identity and live a new life. How about it?"

Lin Xiang was skeptical: "I beat your follower to death, don't you have to be responsible?"

Yang Qiuchi had long expected him to have this question and said, "As long as you make great contributions to help me solve this case, I can not pursue it. I will keep my word."

At this point, Lin Xiang had no choice but to say, "Okay, I said, I said it all. But this matter was arranged by the shopkeeper and the others, and I don't know much."

Yang Qiuchi's heart sank and said, "You tell me everything you know, do you use me to judge?"

"Okay," Lin Xiang made up his mind, "Chen Fengsong, the governor of Chen, found that we were selling private salt, seized a large number of our fleets of private salt trafficking, and arrested many of our gang members. Manager Lu instructed me to ask General Chen to give him a generous gift. General Chen, not only confiscated him, but beat me out. I reported to the boss. After a few days, General Chen, his wife and children disappeared. Later, they found their bodies. I guess they were sent by the boss. But I don't know the specifics."

Yang Qiuchi sneered and asked, "Shopkeeper Lu sent someone to Bazhou to kill people. Would you not know the shopkeeper's place?"

Lin Xiang said with a bitter face: "What else can I hide now? I am just a small shopkeeper of the Boat Gang. There are six or seven shopkeepers like me in Bazhou City. They are in charge of various business operations of the Boat Gang in Bazhou City. We are just doing some legitimate business operations. As for those who kill people, robbery and sell private salt, we never let us interfere."

No wonder Lu Jianli sent a letter to make him severely punish him according to law. It would be better to behead his head immediately and help him kill someone to silence him. Because he knew that he could not pry out anything from Lin Xiang's mouth.

Yang Qiuchi asked: "Who is the leader of this ship gang? Is it Lu Jianli?" Lin Xiang probably won't know about such secrets, but he's better to try his luck.

Sure enough, Lin Xiang said: "Lu Jianli is only in charge of the entire Baoning Mansion. He is the boss on the board of the Boiling Mansion. We are all under his command. As for whom the final leader of the Boiling Mansion is, I don't know."

"Who is responsible for selling private salt?"

"I don't know either. I am only responsible for the affairs of my business. Really, we won't interfere in those matters at all." Lin Xiang said anxiously for fear that Yang Qiuchi would not believe it.

Yang Qiuchi was a little angry: "You don't know this, and you don't know that, you can make a fortune like this? You can't make a fortune. Don't say that I can help you hide and live a new life, it would be great if you can keep your head."

Lin Xiang also knew the seriousness of the matter, and a cold sweat began to flow from his forehead: "Sir, please let me think about it, I think about it."

Yang Qiuchi snorted: "Okay. Let you think about it for a while, I will go and interrogate Butler Su first."

"Butler Su? Which Butler Su? Is Su Renfu?"

"Yes, he threatened me and wanted to assassinate me, but I have already taken it down and threw it into prison."

Ah? Lin Xiang took a breath and thought to himself that this young count was not bragging. He actually arrested the butler Su Renfu. This Su Renfu was Lu Jianli's confidant. Obviously, Lu Jianli gave up this confidant with him. It would be no wonder that he could give up himself. If he could give up Su Renfu, he could not afford to bother Su Renfu. It can be seen that this young count really has a great background and Lu Jianli could not afford to offend him.

Lin Xiang had confidence in Yang Qiuchi, and the young count might be able to really defeat the ship gang. Lin Xiang hurriedly said to Yang Qiuchi: "Sir, you mentioned Su Renfu, this reminds the villain of something, which may be useful to you."

Yang Qiuchi was happy and asked, "What's the matter?"

"A few days ago, I went to Lu Jian, Baoning Mansion to leave home and asked Butler Su to report to the business affairs. When I came to Butler Su's office, I accidentally heard Butler Su talking to someone."

Yang Qiuchi realized that words must be very important and hurriedly asked, "What did they say?"

"I heard a sentence. It was Mr. Su who said to another person, 'Before leaving, the sea sand was almost out of stock, and this batch must be delivered before the full moon.' After I entered the door, I saw that the other person was Lu Jianzhong. When they saw me in, they stopped talking, and then Lu Jianzhong said goodbye and left."

"Who is Lu Jianzhong from Lu Jianli?"

"It's the younger brother of Manager Lu, who has been doing business in Chongqing."

"What is sea sand? How do you talk to Jianghu yes." Yang Qiuchi frowned, as if Yang Zirong had arrived at Weihu Mountain.

"I don't know much, but it seems to refer to private salt."

Thinking of private salt, Yang Qiuchi felt aroused in his heart and asked, "Private salt? Are you talking about the sea sand they mentioned, the private salt sold by your boat gang?"

Lin Xiang said: "I am guessing, and I'm not sure."

Yang Qiuchi pondered for a moment. In the Ming Dynasty, salt was a specialty for the government's products, and private transactions were strictly prohibited. According to the provisions of the Ming Dynasty, it is generally necessary to sell private salt for 100 people and be slapped for three years. If it is organized and large-scale private salt sales, it is necessary to be killed in accordance with the "robbers have already achieved the financial law". Therefore, the ship gang organized the trafficking of private salt, which is a matter of losing their heads.
