Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1220

As the officials and generals present chatted amongst themselves, completely disregarding Li Yuanfang and the Imperial Guards from the capital...

An official cautiously reminded him, "Second Master Cui, this Li Yuanfang is just a martial artist and not a threat."

“But he is Xu Bantian’s absolute henchman in the capital.”

"This Xu Shan is quite something. He's powerful, resourceful, and most importantly, fiercely protective of his own. He's also ruthless and decisive!"

"He brought down the Donglin Party, the Eastern and Western Depots, Prince Ning, and Prince Shu."

"What if..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Cui Meng interrupted with a cold snort: "No matter how powerful Xu Shan is, can he really run around causing trouble in Lu and Ji provinces?"

“If he’s not out of his mind, he should know very well that the troops stationed here, including the Jiaozhou Navy, are all under the control of the Cui family from Qinghe.”

"What? The Northern Liang is being fought by the Tartars in front. Does the imperial court dare to let its own backyard catch fire?"

After he finished speaking, the garrison commander chimed in, "Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake."

"Putting aside other things, the Cui family of Qinghe has businesses in all walks of life."

"If Xu Shan really dares to touch the Cui family of Qinghe at this time, what will the Northern Liang army eat and drink?"

"They have nothing to eat or drink, so what are they still showing off for?"

"Ah ha ha."

"The words may be rough, but the principle is sound. That's the gist of it."

"Here, the Cui family of Qinghe is the supreme authority."

"Correct!"

After they had all finished expressing their opinions, Cui Ran calmly analyzed, "The Ming Dynasty is currently in a turbulent period, teetering on the brink of collapse!"

"It is already extremely kind of us not to hold them back."

"They actually dared to send people to investigate the Cui family of Qinghe, both openly and secretly?"

"When the Left Grand Commander was in charge of the Zhenfu Division, he was never this foolish."

"If Xu Shan really knew what was good for him, he should have focused on defending against the Tartars."

"Even if we take a step back..."

"If people in Jizhou and northern Shandong can be surnamed Zhu, why can't they be surnamed Aisin Gioro?"

Cui Ran's words were extremely treasonous.

However, none of the generals and officials present felt that anything was wrong.

After all, this is the foundation of the Cui family of Qinghe in the local area.

"However, better safe than sorry!"

"The idea from home is... not to ship out the equipment that has been freed up from the garrisons in various places for the time being."

"So that they won't have any leverage over us."

"What? Second Master, the price the Tartars are offering is now double the usual price."

"The fiercer the fighting in the north, the more money we make."

Upon hearing Cui Meng's words, Cui Ran sneered, "Just in the next few days."

"It mainly depends on how the imperial court handles the matter of Northern Liang."

"Once a conclusion is reached, we will address the problem accordingly."

"Those who are willing to get rich together are friends."

"If anyone dares to stop us from getting rich..."

"They even thought they were taking advantage of my kindness."

"sorry!"

"The entire family of Wei He, a centurion of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, serves as a cautionary tale."

After saying this, Cui Ran suddenly remembered something and immediately added, "By the way, Wei He's whole family was slaughtered by the bandits, right?"

"I reckon no one will bury him."

"Go and tell Lord Li that if the Zhenfu Division's funds are insufficient, our Cui family's assets are willing to contribute a sum."

"After all, Wei He has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Ming Dynasty?"

"Huh? Haha, yes, yes."

"I'll arrange for someone to go right away."

After the meeting, Cui Meng sent someone to the Zhenfu Division's headquarters.

Ostensibly, they claimed they would give Wei Baihu's family a grand funeral. But in reality, who couldn't see that the Cui family was humiliating the "imperial envoy"?

Originally, Cui Meng thought that a martial artist like Li Yuanfang would probably be enraged.

It's even possible that they'll come to blows!

In this way, I would have a good reason to let the other party know who is in charge in Wucheng.

But to everyone's surprise, the other party only made a public statement: to severely punish the murderer, to pay for the blood debt, and to bury Wei Baihu after paying respects to his spirit in heaven.

Ha ha!

The murderer must be severely punished!

Those 'mountain bandits' who made the move had already fled to the Jiaodong Peninsula.

What, you Imperial Guards, you dare to arrest people in Jiaozhou's naval territory?

Even if you had eight hundred lives, would you dare?

To everyone else, the Imperial Guards from the capital were nothing special.

It's all just empty talk!

Therefore, that night...

Cui Meng and his group should have some fun and enjoy themselves.

Even when drunk, he made outrageous remarks!

Inside the largest fireworks display in Wucheng...

The wealthy and powerful Cui Meng booked the entire venue and held a celebration there with the garrison commanders and their entourage.

Standing in the attic, holding a wine cup, he openly shouted as he toasted his brothers, "The Emperor's personal guards?"

"Xu Bantian's right-hand man?"

"Li Yuanfang is nothing."

"Haha."

"Yes, he's just a fart from General Cui."

'puff……'

“General Cui, if he lifts his buttocks, he’s finished.”

"Yep!"

'Swish!'

'Pfft. '

"what……"

At the same time, the generals below were loudly echoing and slandering the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The unexpected arrows instantly killed those generals who had been cheering and jumping for joy just a moment before.

"There's an assassin!"

"Protect, protect General Cui."

'Sizzle.'

The lieutenant, just as he realized what was happening, had barely finished shouting those words when a sharp blade ruthlessly slit his throat!

All of this happened so suddenly that the originally lively scene was thrown into complete chaos.

Although some generals carried swords with them...

But at this point, because they were having too much fun, they had long forgotten about their weapons and had just tossed them aside.

As a result, the scene became one-sided.

The 'fierce bandits' who rushed in were specifically targeting and killing these generals.

Moreover, each of them possesses exceptional skills, works in perfect harmony, and wields their blades ruthlessly.

After sweeping past the first tier, the second tier, following closely behind, not only provides support but also finishes off those who have already fallen.

This also ensured that none of the local troops stationed inside the museum survived.

"Protect General Cui! Evacuate from...from the window..."

The few remaining guards shouted these words as they met the men in black who charged forward.

Now that he was a bit more sober, Cui Meng was no longer the domineering figure he had been just moments before.

With his face ashen, he broke the window and prepared to jump into the alley behind.

In his view, as long as he could escape from here and return to the garrison camp, he could survive.

'boom! '

However, what he never expected was...

His body was just about to rush out when he was blocked by a barrier.

"Oops!"

"No, this is bad, General Cui. The entire area outside the restaurant has been set up with a 'talisman array' by the enemy."

"We are completely trapped here."

"There's no way to escape."

The lieutenant who had accompanied him in his attempt to escape the area cried out in despair, his voice trembling with sobs, after being similarly thrown back.
