Chapter 11 The Four Famous Detectives!

In front of the gate of the Northern Pacification Office.

The pacification envoy Yao Zhao looked at the corpses with a gloomy face.

The many Jinyiwei guards behind him also showed anger on their faces.

These corpses are all from the Northern Pacification Division!
The captain among them was Yao Zhao's confidant who had been cultivated since childhood.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is half a son.

Now that he has been beaten to death, one can imagine how he feels.

Fortunately, Yao Zhao was calm enough and did not lose his temper on the spot.

After raising his hand to suppress the commotion of his subordinates, he looked up and said coldly: "I need an explanation."

Opposite Yao Zhao was a man in his twenties.

He has a square face and is wearing the official robe of the Six Gates Constable.

The gold thread inlaid on the neckline is particularly eye-catching.

This person is none other than Tie Shou, one of the four great detectives!
Faced with the murderous looks of the Jinyiwei, neither Tieshou nor the group of constables he brought with him showed the slightest fear on their faces.

Not only that, some people even look eager to try.

It seemed as if he was eager for the people from the Northern Pacification Office to take action.

"Alas!~"

Hearing Yao Zhao's question, Tie Shou sighed deeply.

He clasped his fists and bowed perfunctorily, then shook his head and said, "It is a pity, I never thought that a flood would wash away the Dragon King Temple one day."

Yao Zhao didn't react and waited for the next step.

"This matter has to start with a caravan disappearance case."

Tie Shou pretended to recall and slowly explained the whole process.

"Two months ago, Yongji Company came to the Dali Temple to report that their caravan that traveled to and from Izumo State disappeared without a reason after entering their country. They would like to ask the Shaoqing to send someone to investigate."

"He claimed that he wanted to see the person alive or the body dead."

Bullshit!

As soon as Yao Zhao heard this, he knew Tie Shou was talking nonsense.

It's just a small business, and a caravan is missing. What qualifications do they have to ask the Dali Temple to intervene?

We should go to the state government where the disappearance occurred to investigate.

Even for such a small matter, the Dali Temple has to intervene.

Won’t the thousands of constables in the six gates be exhausted to death?
In similar cases, only when the local government is sure that it cannot handle the case will it ask the Dali Temple for additional personnel.

This is the normal procedure of the Three Judicial Departments.

How could the victim directly bypass the Dali Temple and make a request?

……

Yao Zhao’s face became increasingly ugly.

But he still didn't get angry, he just asked coldly: "What does this have to do with my people?"

"Of course it does matter!"

Tie Shou shouted loudly with an exaggerated expression.

Then, he continued according to the script he had prepared in advance: "When we were investigating the disappearance of the caravan, we found through clues that the other party was actually a group of beasts who only wanted to kill people but not take their money!"

"We, the Six Gates, will not allow such criminals to harm the people everywhere, so we dispatched more people to track them down. Finally, we caught up with the criminals when we were close to the imperial city."

"After careful planning, we successfully surrounded the city thirty miles outside the city."

"Alas!~"

Having said that, Tie Shou sighed again, and with great effort, he finally managed to squeeze a look of regret onto his face.

At this moment, Yao Zhao had basically guessed what had happened.

But still no action was taken.

He wanted to know how Iron Hand would explain it.

"At that time, after the criminals fell into the trap, they fought back extremely fiercely, and we were really helpless."

"As a last resort, I had to use all my strength to kill him on the spot!"

"For this, the Six Gates lost more than a dozen brothers."

"When we searched them afterwards, we were shocked to find that these guys were actually members of the Royal Guards!"

"No wonder he's so fierce."

"But...why didn't they say so earlier?"

Tie Shou shook his head.

Then, he casually bowed to Yao Zhao, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and continued: "Please forgive me, Lord Yao, we really didn't expect that a group of beasts who kill people without blinking an eye were from the Jinyiwei."

"Besides, why would they kill an ordinary caravan?"

Yao Zhao clenched his fists, his internal strength surged wildly, and his eyes were fixed on Tie Shou.

That caravan was indeed destroyed by our own people.

He knew his subordinates' style of operation. If they were interfered with by external factors while carrying out confidential tasks, they would simply kill the person to save trouble and skip the supervision option.

Zuo is an insignificant little person.

Although this move was excused as carrying out a confidential mission, it did cross the bottom line.

It doesn't matter if no one cares.

Once you are caught, the best outcome is that you can escape the death penalty, but you cannot escape punishment while alive!
But this is not a reason for the Six Gates to kill people directly.

There was no problem in arresting the man and putting him in jail. Even though Yao Zhao was very angry, he could only hold his nose and bear it.

After all, that was the responsibility of the Six Gates.

The only thing Yao Zhao could not tolerate was killing someone on the spot!

This was undoubtedly a provocation from the Six Gates to the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

If they can tolerate this, how will the Jinyiwei be able to gain a foothold in the court in the future?

What's more, if he didn't capture Tie Shou and others, he would have no way to explain to Cao Zhengchun.

call! ~
However, just as Yao Zhao was about to take action, a breeze suddenly blew up.

His anger-filled mind regained some sanity.

In an instant, he keenly noticed the flash of excitement in Tieshou's eyes!
wrong!

He had been deliberately provoking me, trying to entice me to take the first step.

Yao Zhao quickly calmed down, carefully sensed his surroundings, and his heart suddenly sank.

The Six Gates are definitely well prepared!

There are other masters hiding on the side.

If they fight at this moment, the opponent will be able to take him down in an instant without waiting for the Jinyiwei masters to arrive!

"We must not act rashly. The Six Gates are here with ill intentions and are coming with great force. We must report the news to the Lord Governor."

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, Yao Zhao took a deep breath, and slowly suppressed the restless internal energy in his body.

"Can you tolerate this?"

Upon seeing this, Tie Shou frowned immediately, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes as he looked at Yao Zhao.

He has done his best to provoke Yao Zhao.

It is safe to say that if it were him, he would have been unable to resist and took action long ago.

But now, Yao Zhao could not only endure it.

Even the hatred in his eyes was hidden by him.

"No wonder he was able to sit in the position of pacification envoy. Just based on this level of forbearance, it is something that not many people can match!"

Tie Shou thought to himself.

At the same time, he couldn't help but shook his head with regret.

The Six Gates are not like the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot, and they never act recklessly.

In the absence of solid evidence, one can only lure the other party into taking action and then take him down with justification.

This is a kind of "fishing enforcement" behavior.

Although it was a bit despicable and was despised by the detectives of the Six Gates, Guo Bujing strictly prohibited it.

But...it also depends on who it is directed at.

Tieshou believed that for someone like Yao Zhao who had done so many bad things, Guo Bujing would turn a blind eye even if he used some small tricks.

After all, reaching Yao Zhao's level, it is not an easy task to find conclusive evidence.

……

Since Yao Zhao has no intention of taking action, there is no point in staying.

"Let's go back to the government office."

Tieshou waved his hand in disinterest, unwilling to continue pretending to be nice to the other party.

He felt somewhat regretful that he failed to take the opportunity to capture Yao Zhao and bring him back to the Dali Temple.

"Are you a coward? How could you be so patient!"

Iron Hand muttered.

Yao Zhao heard it clearly, but he didn't get angry.

Whatever you say, I'll pretend I didn't hear it.

He was determined not to let the people from the Six Gates take advantage of him.

Even the final attempt ended in failure.

Tie Shou was completely helpless and could only leave helplessly.

But just as he turned around, he seemed to catch something out of the corner of his eye.

Suddenly turning his head to look at a high wall, endless surprise suddenly emerged in Tieshou's eyes.

"How dare you eavesdrop on the secrets of the imperial court!"

Before he finished speaking, the man rushed out, leaving a trail of afterimages.
