Chapter 680: The fish die and the net breaks

"Bangbangbang" As the sound of the bulge in the third day of the morning, Li Zhang couldn't help but yawn. Although he slept on the boat for a long time yesterday, so that he had the energy to deal with the matter in Quanzhou when he arrived today, he still couldn't help feeling sleepy at this time.

In addition, it was the first time that Li Zhang knew that people could not help but get seasick. People who stayed on the boat for a long time would also get dizzy when they first got on land. Of course, this kind of dizziness was not serious. It was just because they were used to the shaking on the boat, and they would feel a little uncomfortable when they stepped onto the land suddenly. They just need to sleep for a while and it would be fine. However, Li Zhang was still waiting for a news now, so he could only force himself to not let himself fall asleep.

Today, Li Zhang just arrived in Quanzhou and won Ma Fengjie with lightning speed. In fact, he had planned this way long ago. If the Dong family massacre can be suppressed, there must be people in the officialdom, and Ma Fengjie alone cannot do this. After all, he is a eunuch. The so-called eunuch is called eunuch, the full name is eunuch of the Maritime Market. His power is only in the field of maritime trade, and his ability to interfere in the Quanzhou officialdom is very small, so behind this case, there must be a heavyweight in the Quanzhou officialdom.

It was precisely because of the above that Li Zhang used the method of alerting the snake as soon as he arrived in Quanzhou. If there were other people involved, the other party would definitely have some changes. So Li Zhang also sent the wild dog out and targeted a person he suspected, and the other party was Sun Li, the governor of Quanzhou he had met today.

According to what Li Zhang learned, Sun Li was from Jiangxi and a Jinshi during the Xiangfu period of Dazhong. When the Dong family massacre occurred four years ago, Sun Li was not a magistrate, but held the position of convict. However, the Quanzhou magistrate was old and sick, and he had long been unable to handle political affairs. Therefore, the administrative power of Quanzhou was actually under the control of Sun Li. Later, the magistrate died, and he also took over the position of magistrate with justification.

Of course, if it were just the above, Li Zhang could not judge that Sun Li was related to the Dong family case. The most important thing was Dong Qing's confession. According to him, after the massacre that year, he also filed complaints everywhere, but no one in each yamen dared to accept it. At that time, there was no one else who could suppress this matter at that time. Except for Sun Li, there was no one else to think about.

Dong Qing's confession was still very credible, especially although the Dong family was destroyed, the centipede died without being stagnant. At that time, the power remaining in the Dong family was still quite large, especially in the officialdom. However, even so, it was still suppressed by others. From this, it can be seen that this person monopolized the power in Quanzhou, and the only one who met this requirement was Sun Li.

In fact, when Li Zhang was taking down Ma Fengjie today, he kept observing Sun Li's expression secretly. Unfortunately, he didn't know if he was a traitor or a true conscience. Anyway, Li Zhang failed to find anything abnormal in the other party's face. Instead, several officials around him turned pale, obviously they had some contact with Ma Fengjie.

In fact, Li Zhang could have not captured Ma Fengjie first, but instead pretended to be a false alarm with the other party on the surface, and then slowly investigated the officials involved in the case. However, Quanzhou was not a capital city, and Li Zhang was almost blinded by this place, and he didn't know who could trust in the officialdom, so he had no choice but to use this method. Although it was a bit risky, it could have a miraculous effect.

"Dongdong" With a slight knock on the door, I didn't hear any footsteps in advance, but this made Li Zhang relieved and said: "Come in!"

As Li Zhang finished speaking, a wild dog in black clothes pushed the door and walked in, which made Li Zhang immediately ask: "How is it, did that Sun Li meet anyone?"

"Brother has miscalculated this time. Sun Li went to his home to rest after he returned and did not see anyone." The wild dog walked to Li Zhang at this time, picked up the tea that Li Zhang prepared for him and drank it all the time.

Originally, Li Zhang came to Quanzhou today, and Sun Li and other local officials also prepared a reception banquet for him. However, because Ma Fengjie was arrested, and Li Zhang said that he was very tired and wanted to rest, so he refused the reception banquet. The wild dog followed him immediately after Sun Li and others left.

"I didn't see anyone. Could it be that I was wrong?" Li Zhang couldn't help but say in surprise when he heard the wild dog's report.

"Don't doubt it, brother, although Sun Li did not go to see others, there were people who went to see him, and there were more than one!" The wild dog put down the tea bowl in his hand and smiled. Since he started a family and started a career, especially with a child, the wild dog's temperament has become more and more normal, and he will even take the initiative to joke.

"When did you learn to speak in half?" Li Zhang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and then asked who had gone to see Sun Li. Maybe Sun Li didn't go to see others in the city, but it doesn't mean that others were as calm as him.

When the wild dogs saw the people he visited, they said one by one. Today, when Li Zhang met local officials such as Sun Li, the wild dog stood behind Li Zhang, so he remembered it very clearly when Sun Li introduced the various officials.

However, Li Zhang became more and more shocked when he heard this, because the people who went to see Sun Li today were Quanzhou envoys, secretary, and prosecutors, which almost included most of the senior officials in the entire Quanzhou officialdom. In other words, if Sun Li really participated in the Dong family massacre, it would also mean that the entire Quanzhou officialdom would be almost terrible.

"These people seemed to have made an appointment in secret. They rushed to Sun Li's house in casual clothes when it was getting late, and plotted with Sun Li in the study for a long time. I wanted to get close to eavesdrop, but Sun Li was very cautious and arranged many guards around the study. I couldn't get close to him at all, so I could only eavesdrop in the distance for a while. Although I was not very sincere, I heard their conversation mention the Dong family's massacre!" The wild dog finally answered seriously.

After hearing this, Li Zhang couldn't help but show a solemn expression. The worst situation finally happened. If the entire Quanzhou officialdom was already ruined, then his next actions would definitely encounter great obstacles or even dangers. After all, under the rush of the wall, these people might be able to do anything.

"Brother, I also discovered an important thing, that is, after Sun Li and others conspired, they actually sent a servant from the mansion, as if to report the message to someone. So I followed the servant out of the city and finally chased him to the navy camp. Who are you guessing that the other party was sending a message to?" The wild dog smiled again and said.

"Navigation Camp? Since you asked that, I must know this person. We just arrived today, and the only one we know is the commander!" Li Zhang was stunned when he heard the wild dog's words, and then said with great certainty.

"Brother guessed it well. The other party wanted to meet Commander Yu. But there were a large number of personal guards guarding the place where Commander Yu lived, so I couldn't get close to it, so I didn't know what they were talking to?" The wild dog nodded and said again.

"No, the other party is going to kill him!" Li Zhang suddenly woke up and immediately stood up and shouted.

If Commander Yu was also Sun Li and his men, then after Ma Fengjie was arrested, Sun Li and his men would definitely be worried that Ma Fengjie would give them out. In this case, instead of waiting for the arrest in the future, they might as well fight to the death. If they could kill Li Zhang and others, there would be a glimmer of hope. Anyway, Quanzhou is their territory, so it is completely possible to fabricate that Li Zhang and others had an accident, such as encountering a storm at the sea, and the court would not find any evidence at all.

Thinking of this, Li Zhang immediately ordered the wild dog: "Tell me my order, assemble the imperial guards immediately, and notify Commander Hu to prepare as well and listen to my order!"

When the wild dog heard Li Zhang's words, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, which made him regret why he didn't intercept the people sent by Sun Li on the road just now? But now it's useless to regret it, so he immediately informed the people on his side to gather.
