Hearing Zhou You mention the Iron Hands, Ge Tianba finally couldn't hold it in any longer and couldn't help but said, "How do I know if you will burn a bridge by crossing a river?"

"Haha, this is indeed a problem," Zhou You smiled noncommittally: "Actually, for the emperor, what she really hates are those dirty Yangzhou officials and the culprit who planned the shipwreck in Hangou. Do you think the emperor will care about you?

How about a Salt Owl?"

"For me, the most important thing is to solve the case as soon as possible, find out the culprit, and give the emperor an explanation. If I can do it well, it will be a great achievement! In fact, I won't worry about your life.

, Even if it is the lives of those dirty officials in Yangzhou, what do they have to do with me? They are just a stepping stone for me to achieve meritorious service. And you are just an insignificant stone," Zhou You continued.

As he said that, seeing Ge Tianba's expression changing and his face looking a little unsightly, Zhou You couldn't help but smile and said: "What? Are you angry? You should be lucky that in the eyes of me and the emperor, you are insignificant. Therefore, I treat you

Life is of no interest."

"However, if you are unclear about your identity and situation, want to negotiate terms with me, or do not want to cooperate, then I will have no choice but to kill you first, destroy your Crouching Tiger Villa, and then slowly investigate the person behind you.

Even, I think as long as I catch your daughter, you will cooperate obediently. Everyone in this world has weaknesses, your daughter should be your weakness, right?" Zhou You continued with a playful smile.

Seeing how Zhou Youyou always fell out of favor and made threats so casually and directly, Ge Tianba couldn't help but change his expression.

Before he could speak, Zhou You continued: "Perhaps, you can keep me here and take credit from the people behind you. However, your Crouching Tiger Villa is not a dragon's nest or a tiger's den! If you want to keep me, I'm afraid you can't.

So easy. Besides, do you think the people I brought here are really just a few weak women? To tell you the truth, among them, except for Li Han’s wife, all other skills are very good."

"How about it? Master Ge, have you thought about it? Do you want me to stay at your place for one night and let you think about it carefully?" Zhou You then asked with a smile.

Zhou You's wild bombardment immediately made Ge Tianba smile bitterly and nod: "Okay! I am willing to cooperate and hand over the remaining official salt to help you deal with the culprit behind it."

"Very good! Master Ge, you are indeed a smart man. You have to believe that the reputation of the official family is always better than that of the Iron Hand behind you," Zhou You nodded with satisfaction and smiled after hearing this.

Ge Tianba couldn't help but change his face slightly when he heard this: "You...you already know that the Iron Hand is behind us?"

"Huh, I've already found you. Do you think our internal guards really can't find the leader of the Iron Hands? I also know that the leader of the Iron Hands is Prince Ying Yuanqi. The emperor knows about this.

But I wish I could chop him alive," Zhou You said with a sneer.

Hearing this, Ge Tianba couldn't help but turned pale, staggered back a few steps, and fell weakly on the seat beside him: "No... worthy of being an internal guard, I... I'm convinced! I cooperate, I

I will cooperate fully, I just ask... I just ask you to give me a way out!"

With Ge Tianba's cooperation, the next thing would naturally be much simpler. Zhou You directly asked the inner guards to go and notify Di Renjie, who had also arrived in Xuyi, while he himself was waiting leisurely and comfortably in Crouching Tiger Village for Yuan Yuan.

Qi took the initiative to deliver it to your door.

It is actually not difficult to get Yuan Qi to come to his door. As long as he feels that Ge Tianba is doing tricks behind his back, then he will naturally deal with Ge Tianba.

However, when Ge Tianba was preparing a plan to lure Yuan Qi here according to Zhou You's instructions, Yuan Qi had not yet arrived, and his daughter Yun Gu returned to Crouching Tiger Villa first.

After learning that Ge Tianba actually chose to cooperate with Zhou You to deal with the Iron Hands, Yun Gu was shocked and naturally would not be easily persuaded by Ge Tianba. After all, she is still relatively loyal to the Iron Hands now.

Zhou You, who was not surprised by this, did not embarrass Yun Gu and let her go directly. Zhou You's move also made Ge Tianba believe in his promise not to settle accounts later, and cooperated with Zhou You more attentively. He only hoped that

After Zhou You defeated the Iron Hands, he could spare his daughter Yun Gu.

Zhou You was not worried that Yun Gu would tell Yuan Qi about this. After all, she should know Yuan Qi's personality. If Yuan Qi knew that her father had betrayed the Iron Hand, the consequences could be imagined.

In fact, Zhou You hoped that Yun Gu could tell Yuan Qi some information, so that Yuan Qi might be able to get to Crouching Tiger Villa faster.

Anyway, the matter is already under Zhou You's control. With Ge Tianba in hand, Yuan Qi, the culprit, has been exposed. Di Renjie, on the other hand, is also investigating several cases that occurred in Xuyi County.

Some supporting evidence related to the Hangou shipwreck case.

It can be said that no matter how much Yuan Qi and the others behave, the outcome is already doomed. In fact, what the internal guards want to investigate does not require any complete evidence. Even if Zhou persuaded Yuan Qi to rebel, Wu Zetian would not doubt it.

What. After all, Zhou You is now her close confidant!

Everything seemed peaceful, time passed quietly in peace, Yuan Qi finally brought people to Crouching Tiger Village as expected...

In the courtyard of Zhouyou's residence in Crouching Tiger Villa, when Yuan Qi led people into Crouching Tiger Villa, he was drinking tea with Xiaoyun, Ning and Ruyan who came from Xuyi.

Ruyan came with Di Renjie and the others, so she naturally came very quickly after knowing that she was wandering around Crouching Tiger Village.

"Yuan Qi is here," Xiaomei suddenly came in from outside to report: "The internal guards have also arrived. Should we go directly to capture Yuan Qi now?"

"Don't worry! Yuan Qi will not kill Ge Tianba easily. Let's talk later and let them talk first," Zhou You said casually with a smile.

Ruyan on the side couldn't help raising her eyebrows after hearing this: "Do you want Ge Tianba to suffer a little first, so that you can conquer Yun Gu?"

"What Ge Tianba did is really worthy of death! Although I said I would spare his life, I never said I would protect those under him." Zhou You sneered noncommittally: "Besides, Yuan Qiruo

If I really want to kill him, it will be his own fault, so what does it have to do with me? I never said I would keep him safe for the rest of his life."

Ru Yan was a little speechless. Xiaoyun and Ning naturally didn't care what would happen to these salt owl who bullied the market and did all kinds of bad things. Ge Tianba was a member of the Iron Hands, and the killer of the Iron Hands killed

Li Han and Ning didn't even have any favorable impressions of Ge Tianba.

At the same time, the killings had already begun in the front yard of Crouching Tiger Village. Although Crouching Tiger Village was heavily outnumbered, the Iron Hand killers brought by Yuan Qi were all very skilled, so during the fierce battle

The main ones who died were the thugs from Crouching Tiger Village.

After Ge Tianba was stabbed through the shoulder by Yuan Qi and nailed to the wall, some crossbowmen suddenly appeared on the surrounding courtyard walls. They were Zhou You's inner guards.

"Huh? Not good..." Yuan Qi realized that something was wrong upon seeing this, but he could only watch the arrows shooting out, treating his Iron Hand killers as targets.

The killers of the Iron Hands were very skilled, but the courtyard was empty and there was no place to hide. Faced with so many arrows, they barely managed to escape some of them, but most of them died from the arrows or fell to the ground seriously injured.

Even the few who were better at fighting were lucky enough to reach the courtyard wall and tried to kill the crossbowmen, but they were met by the good players from the inner guard and the sisters Xiaomei and Xiaofeng, and were killed neatly.
