Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Chapter 830 Yuan Tiangang's naughty idea

The goal of Li Cunxi and his team was to capture the leader first.

But this goal was later temporarily shelved.

It was not until they entered the Nineteen Prefectures of Jiangdong that they truly realized that Wu Sansi, the coward, had actually stationed all the Left and Right Eagle Guards near Shanyin County from the beginning.

A mere 6,000 cavalrymen, heading straight for Shanyin County, would immediately run into the encirclement of the Left and Right Yingyang Guards.

Fortunately, when Li Xiaoyi marched westward, he took with him an army of 100,000, which reduced the number of soldiers near Shanyin County by half.

Later, Li Kaigu entered Tingzhou, which frightened Wu Sansi so much that he sent Fang Ruhai to attack. Near Shanyin County, another 50,000 troops were lost, leaving only Yang Dacheng's 50,000 troops.

This time, Li Kaigu wiped out Fang Ruhai's 50,000 troops. Yang Dacheng could no longer sit idly by. He had to lead all his troops south.

At this time, Shanyin County was completely empty.

The tactic of capturing the leader first can be used at this time.

Li Cunxi stood with his hands behind his back, thinking carefully about whether Luo Binwang's proposal could be implemented. At this moment, he saw the sneer on Yuan Tiangang's face.

After being abducted to the Nineteen Prefectures of Jiangdong by him, this strange old man rarely spoke and even showed no expression.

Today is strange.

"Why, Mr. Yuan Tiangang, do you have something to say?"

Yuan Tiangang smiled and snorted softly, full of sarcasm.

"I laugh at Mr. Luo Binwang. Although he has a plan, he has forgotten the human heart."

Luo Binwang frowned.

Has he forgotten the human heart?

He is indeed not very good at understanding people's hearts.

If he had been able to understand people's hearts well enough back then, he would not have been so naive as to think that after Li Jingye started his rebellion, the descendants of the Li family would definitely rise up to help him.

"Please explain in detail, Mr. Yuan." He turned to Yuan Tiangang and said respectfully.

It was rare for Yuan Tiangang to talk about his expertise today, so he was not stingy. He flicked his sleeves, stood up, and began to speak incessantly.

"I just said that although Mr. Luo Binwang has a plan, he forgets what is in people's hearts."

"This is easy to understand, everyone. When Duke Ying Li Jingye rebelled against Wu, why did the Li clan's heir not send troops to help? Instead, why did Li Xiaoyi lead the expedition against Li Jingye?"

"The reason is simple. Although Your Majesty had killed countless people at the time, his evil ambitions were not yet so obvious."

This statement is very clear. Although Empress Wu controlled the government at that time, she killed only the descendants of the Li family who posed a threat to the throne.

Those who didn't see clearly enough thought she was guarding the throne for her child.

When faced with the choice between the Queen Mother and outsiders, the descendants of the Li family would definitely choose the Queen Mother.

Therefore, it was reasonable for Li Xiaoyi to lead the expedition against Li Jingye.

It is understandable that the descendants of the Li family who had been contacted earlier did not rise up in rebellion. This is the human nature.

"Now, even if you all want to capture the thief and the king, you have forgotten that in the Nineteen Prefectures of Jiangdong, there is another force that is capable of protecting the false emperor Wu Sansi!"

Yuan Tiangang looked around at everyone, ready to make a big move.

"That is……"

Li Cunxi chuckled and interrupted him: "A noble family, right?"

Yuan Tiangang almost fainted from lack of breath.

This Li Cunxi is so shameless!

He had been talking for such a long time, and when he was waiting for this last sentence, it was unexpectedly interrupted by the little brat Li Cunxi.

"That's right!" He took a breath and glared at Li Cunxi hatefully. "Wu Sansi was brought to the Nineteen Prefectures of Jiangdong by a prominent family. He has very close relationships with these people."

"Although he was assassinated before, the Lu and Zhang families in Jiangdong were killed."

"On the surface, they've made enemies with the aristocratic families of the Nineteen Prefectures of Jiangdong, but once these two families fall, the vast wealth they free up will go to the other families in droves!"

"Wouldn't these aristocratic families be grateful to Wu Sansi?"

"They have formed an alliance of interests with Wu Sansi. As Wu Sansi becomes more powerful, the benefits they will gain will grow."

"You want to catch the thief first, so you have to catch the leader?" Yuan Tiangang laughed disdainfully. "We also have to see if these aristocratic families are willing to do that."

"To put it bluntly, these people have been in the Nineteen States of Jiangdong for so many years, and their power has long been intertwined and colluded with each other. For the sake of greater interests, for these interests, they would not even hesitate to kill everyone present, regardless of who you are."

"They relied on the principle that the law does not punish the masses and supported Wu Sansi. Even if Wu Sansi was defeated, the worst they would get in the end would be a few scoldings, some donations of their property, and then they could continue to be the local tyrants."

The Nineteen Prefectures of Jiangdong during the Later Three Kingdoms period were already similar to what Yuan Tiangang described.

Li Cunxi only needed a quick comparison to know Yuan Tiangang's true thoughts.

This old guy actually hinted to him that he should wipe out all the aristocratic families in the 19 states of Jiangdong.

"Go on, old man."

Li Cun looked at Yuan Tiangang, ready to continue listening to what other insights the old man had yet to express.

Yuan Tiangang took the lead and continued, "The rebellion of Liang Wang Wu Sansi was essentially the result of the Nineteen Prefectures of Jiangdong trying to profit from the war."

"As everyone knows, in war, it is always the working people who suffer. Any aristocratic family that survives a war will surely profit immensely, as long as they are not wiped out. That is why these aristocratic families will spare no effort in stirring up trouble."

"It can be said that even if Wu Sansi didn't exist, there would be Zhang Sansi, Chen Sansi and others who would become emperors tomorrow with the support of the aristocratic families."

Luo Binwang suddenly reacted and looked at Yuan Tiangang beside him with horror.

"You, you, you... do you mean to kill all the noble families?"

Luo Binwang looked like he had seen a ghost.

He had never seen such a terrifying old man.

Without making any noise, he completely abandoned his tactic of "capture the leader first" and directly attacked the aristocratic families to cut off Wu Sansi's roots.

This old guy is so fucking cruel!

Yuan Tiangang chuckled and said, "Mr. Luo Binwang, is what I said even slightly wrong?"

Luo Binwang took a deep breath and confirmed Yuan Tiangang's idea, but he had no way to refute it.

Simply because everything Yuan Tiangang said was right.

He trembled and advised, "But, if there is too much killing, it might not be good. This is a bit too much."

"Too much bloodshed?" Yuan Tiangang closed his eyes and chanted like a mantra, "Li Kaigu killed fifty thousand of the Left Eagle Guards in Fuzhou. Li Kaigu killed fifty thousand of the Left Eagle Guards in Fuzhou. Li Kaigu killed fifty thousand of the Left Eagle Guards in Fuzhou..."

Luo Binwang was convinced and decided not to refute Yuan Tiangang any further.

The 50,000 Zuo Yingyang Guards were only Fang Ruhai's loss, but Li Kaigu also lost tens of thousands of people.

Because of the selfishness of these aristocratic families, the imperial court lost 80,000 troops, which is an unforgivable crime!

Li Cunxi looked at Yuan Tiangang with a sharp gaze and asked:

"Yuan Tiangang, is this what you really mean?"
