In Li Ling's previous guess, the person behind these people is likely to be related to another force in the Imperial City Department. After all, Ma Bangwen died under their escort.

According to this inference, they are likely to have received the benefits of the slaughter, thus silencing the entire Ma family.

If the answer from Shangguan Ao and the others asked this, Li Ling would not be surprised or embarrassed at all. He would take down the others in the next step, and then send it to the capital to expose the other party's various evil deeds, and help Lu Zhen get rid of an opponent.

However, when Shangguan Ao and the others mentioned that the conditions offered by the other party not only contained a lot of gold and silver rewards, but also gave them the most wanted and most difficult official position in the world, Li Ling's previous guesses about the Imperial City Department were completely shattered.

The Imperial City Department does not have such high power and can give these people the official position. Not to mention the people of the Imperial City Department, even their ancestors, the emperor and the emperor, Eunuch Wei, who is most trusted by them, do not have such ability. In this way, the answer is actually very obvious...

However, Li Ling still asked the other party and waited for them to give the answer.

The expressions of Shangguan Ao and others have changed. They know very well that once they explain the person behind them, they will completely stand against the Lord's Envoy and stand against the terrifying force. The situation is no better than letting Li Ling take it down.

But then, thinking of his family and being taken away, he didn't say anything. The other party wanted to destroy his mouth, and their concerns were eliminated: "That man was Shen Yuan. He was originally just a businessman with a little bit of industry in Wuchang City, but he had the ring of the God of Wealth on his hand. Do you know what that was?"

Li Ling looked at them with a serious expression: "The God of Wealth Ring is said to be the token of a mysterious man with huge wealth in the world. This God of Wealth is not only rich in assets, but also the most important part of the world. It is also because he has close contact with the court and is said to be the confidant of the Prince of the East Palace!"

The prince has four friends, but in terms of the most mysterious and terrifying thing, it is this guy named God of Wealth. Although he had no name, he was the one who could provide the greatest help to the prince. The reason why the prince was able to buy the hearts of many people in northern Xinjiang a few years ago is because this person could provide him with money continuously.

Thinking back to the time when King Yong was able to fight with the prince, he had also looked for the whereabouts of the God of Wealth several times and wanted to kill him, but he could not even find out the other party's identity, which caused him to lose his troops and generals. Later, Li Ling also wanted to use the power of the Imperial City Spy to investigate, but he found nothing.

The only clue I got was that the God of Wealth has always been around Huguang. As for who he was and who he was in front of everyone, he could not find out.

Now, this mystery seems to be solved with Shangguan Ao and the others' explanation. The only one who can hold the ring of the God of Wealth and give them such protection seems to be the God of Wealth himself.

"Shen Yuan!" Li Ling slowly read out this name, his face looked a little strange, as if he was abrupt, and he seemed a little surprised, and even had a hint of self-mockery - I should have doubted this person, but it was because there were too many things that happened so quickly that I completely ignored this detail!

At the same time, when talking about Chen Yuan, another name also emerged in Li Ling's mind, Chen Tian!

Yes, this Chen Yuan is the brother of Chen Tian, ​​a great charity in Suizhou!

When Gu Sizhu was ordered to threaten the Shen family that day, he mentioned that Chen Yuan had been arrested by Jiang Guixun and imprisoned. But later, when Li Ling came to Wuchang and quickly took Jiang Guixun down, thus controlling Wuchang City, he did not find Chen Yuan in the prison.

Li Ling did ignore this detail. As he thought, there were too many things happening between them, and there were too many enemies to deal with. Changes were connected one by one, making him poor at coping with it. Naturally, it was easy to ignore Chen Yuan, a small person who had never met before and seemed to be unrelated to the overall situation.

Li Ling had neither thought about it or did he leave the prison, nor did he have any interest in further investigation.

But in fact, this matter itself is full of doubts. If Chen Yuanzhen had been captured by Jiang Guixun and left the prison safely.

This is the person ordered by the governor to capture. He was imprisoned in the governor's jail. Where can an ordinary businessman get the ability to escape from it? The only explanation is that he is not an ordinary businessman, but has another special identity that even Jiang Guixun dared to offend!

Jiang Guixun was not willing to give up after defeating Li Ling, so naturally it was impossible to reveal this detail. So until now, Li Ling ignored this person. It was not until Shangguan Ao and the others revealed the commander behind him and connected him together that he woke up like a dream!

"Chen Yuan..." Li Ling said this name again, but his heart turned to another person, Chen Tian!

If Chen Yuan is the prince’s confidant “God of Wealth”, then who is Chen Tian? Did he know that his brother has such a noble and mysterious identity? Or, does Chen Tian also have a shameful identity, and even he is the real “God of Wealth”!

This is not because Li Ling is too suspicious, but because everything is right now is forbidden to make this guess. Although Chen Tian looks harmless on the surface and is still a well-known good man, who knows whether he has a deeper look behind his back? And the name of the good man can be used as a cover in a sense... At least Li Ling never doubted that Chen Tian had any problems before.

Soon, he pressed back these suspicions and looked at the four people in front of him: "Do you know where they are now? I want the specific location. Also, you will tell me the hiding places you use for emergency avoidance, so don't miss any of them. As long as you can cooperate with me and help me take down these thieves, I guarantee that your family will be safe and safe and unrelated!"

Shangguan Ao and others looked at each other again, as if considering whether Li Ling’s words were credible. Finally, after thinking about their own situation and looking at Li Ling with a serious look, they chose this only way: "We have not had any contact with him during this period. In fact, he rarely contacted us except for letting us do things. Of course, we cannot grasp his whereabouts."

After Li Ling frowned slightly, Monk Guangzhi smiled softly: "But this does not mean that we don't know some of his hiding places. Walking in the world and working hard, we must have more guarantees. As far as I know, in addition to some well-known industries under his name, there is an inconspicuous small inn in the west of the city. The business there is very poor on weekdays, but he will always go there in the first half of the month, and he disguises himself... So if I guess the information is good, that inn is the secret place he uses to hide."

So it is said that snakes have snake paths and rats have rat paths. After all, the methods of the people in the Jianghu cannot be hidden from the people in the Jianghu. If Li Ling had asked him to investigate at this time, he might not have been able to find this point, but then Monk Guangzhi had already figured out Chen Yuan's trump card.

Of course, this is also related to his failure to completely conquer everyone. They are more cooperative and mutually exploiting each other, and have not yet formed a real dependence between superiors and subordinates. So as the relationship breaks down, Li Ling can naturally ask everything out of them.

"Okay, as long as you can catch someone from there, I will give you another contribution!" Li Ling smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand to signal, allowing someone to take them back to the prison for guarding.

When several people were about to be taken away, Cui Wanbao suddenly stopped again and asked, "Mr. Li, I still have something to ask for."

"you say."

"You really dare to be enemies with them? Don't forget that there is the current prince behind him!" As he spoke, the four of them looked over at the same time.

Li Ling had already stood up at this time and gently patted his wrinkled clothes: "I'm not afraid of the prince, are you still afraid of one of his lackeys?"

These words made the four of them startled again, and then smiled bitterly... It seems that it is really not unfair to fall into this guy's hands. He is even more terrifying than he thought!

...

In the room, a light was like beans, which only illuminated a area in front of the table, reflecting Chen Yuan's slightly white face.

In the darkness in front of him, a man was walking back and forth, breathing a little rapid: "Are you not leaving yet? Now that Shangguan Ao and the others have fallen into the hands of the government, Li Ling has arrived. I'm afraid that it won't take long to explain everything. By then, you will be in danger."

After holding the cup and slowly sipping the tea, Chen Yuan said slowly: "Let's go? Do you think I can go where I can go now? Since it has been exposed, under Li Ling, I have nowhere to hide. Even if I run to the capital, can the prince really protect me?

"Even if I leave and leave here, even the prince's people will try to silence me, just like Ma Bangwen and the entire Ma family. I am used to doing such things, how could I not know this?"

"You...what do you have any plans?"

"Wait! When everything is calm. As long as Li Ling can't hold me, things will turn around. Only those people in the world will not be able to become any evidence. As long as I survive this period, I will be able to get up again when Li Ling leaves. Moreover, there are still some things on my hands that can save my life, and the prince will also be worried."

"You... are you already taking a gamble?" The person opposite sighed. Although he did not receive a response, the answer was already on the surface.

He stopped talking, but only looked at the abyss under the lamp, turned around, opened the door and left.
