However, due to his drunken teasing of Shangguan Laner and Ning Xuefei, even if Si Haixiao wasn't directly blacklisted by the Three Great Pavilions, he was still very unpopular. Normally, it should have been the higher-ups of the Law Enforcement Hall who came out to receive him, but this time, it was just an ordinary Law Enforcement Envoy. /
This law enforcer was none other than Niu Qiang. Back then, his sworn brother Ma Jian had been imprisoned for abusing his position to avenge a personal grudge. Now, he had been tortured to death. However, he had managed to escape this calamity and was not implicated. This time, the case of Wufu Ling Yi was under his charge.
"So it's Shopkeeper Si of the Central Chamber of Commerce. It's an honor to meet you. I am Law Enforcement Envoy Niu Qiang." Niu Qiang recognized Si Haixiao at a glance and hurriedly greeted him.
His backer Xu Lingchong was missing, and his sworn brother Ma Jian was imprisoned and killed. During this period of time, he had been living with his tail between his legs, not daring to offend anyone. He was afraid that he would follow in Ma Jian's footsteps. Now, it was rare to see a powerful figure. Even if it was Si Haixiao, who was not favored by the Three Great Pavilions, he had to find an opportunity to curry favor. Who knows, he might have another way out in the future.
"Oh, it's Law Enforcement Envoy Niu. I heard that you're handling Wufu Ling Yi's case?" Si Haixiao looked him up and down and asked.
"That's right, it's me. May I know what advice does Shopkeeper Si have?" Niu Qiang nodded and replied calmly.
"It can't be said to be advice, but I have a lead on that Wufu Ling Yi." Si Haixiao smiled mysteriously.
"Really?" Niu Qiang's eyes suddenly lit up. The arrest warrant had been issued for some time, but there was still no news. It was as if Wufu Ling Yi did not exist. He was worried about this matter, but he did not expect Si Haixiao to actually come to him with information.
Coming here specifically to deal with Lin Yi, Si Haixiao did not hide anything and told him what he found on Central Island, making Niu Qiang burst with joy.
"So Wufu Ling Yi is Lin Yi in disguise. That's great. I'll apply for manpower from the higher-ups right away to arrest and bring him to justice! "Niu Qiang could not contain his excitement as he said.
To put it bluntly, Ma Jian's death was caused by Lin Yi. Now that he had this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he could avenge his sworn brother's death and at the same time, he could use this opportunity to claim credit from one of the most powerful figures in Soaring Sky Pavilion. This was killing two birds with one stone!
"Don't worry. Right now, Lin Yi is still in Middle Island and hasn't returned. Don't let out any news so that he can make preparations. This is a rare opportunity. We must make it an ironclad case. Kill him in one move and don't give him any chance to turn things around! "Si Haixiao reminded from the side.
"An ironclad case?" Hearing that, Niu Qiang's expression froze slightly, and he said awkwardly, "That's a little difficult. He killed Su Zhaohu in the boundary of Hucai Tianwu Mountain, which is not within the scope of the north island. Strictly speaking, I've overstepped my authority by issuing an arrest warrant for him, and it's all because of Brother Su. The others turned a blind eye and didn't ask about it. "
"Brother Su? Who's that? "Si Haixiao couldn't help but be stunned.
"It's Su Zhaohe, the most popular young genius disciple in Soaring Sky Pavilion, who is about to be accepted by Pavilion Master Shangguan. Originally, his cousin Su Zhaohu was killed in the north island. Normal procedures wouldn't have opened a case. It was because of him that I took this task, "Niu Qiang explained.
Now that Xu Lingchong was missing, he was in a hurry to find a new backer. Coincidentally, he met a genius like Su Zhaohe, who had a promising future. Naturally, he would seize the opportunity to curry favor. Once he did this task well. In the future, he would be able to get in touch with Su Zhaohe.
Everyone knew about the relationship between the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, Gong Yangjie, and Shangguan Tianhua. Furthermore, Su Zhaohe was Shangguan Tianhua's disciple, and once he succeeded in becoming Shangguan Tianhua's disciple, he and Gong Yangjie would become fellow disciples. If Niu Qiang was able to climb up to such a powerful backer, it would definitely be a great benefit to him!
"So, the arrest warrant for Wu Fu Ling Yi is just to sell a favor, and this matter really can't be settled?" Si Haixiao couldn't help but frown.
"Exactly. If we have to do it by force, I'm afraid it'll be difficult … The only thing I can do now is to first capture Lin Yi and then let the higher-ups decide," Niu Qiang said helplessly.
When he thought of Lin Yi, he couldn't help but think of his close brother Ma Jian. Ma Jian died tragically because he wanted to deal with Lin Yi. If he used public office to take revenge, he was afraid that he would follow in Ma Jian's footsteps, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
"In that case, why don't we simply not go through the official channel? There are too many restrictions, and I heard that Shanghai Tianhua is good to Lin Yi. If it really gets out of hand, even if we capture Lin Yi, we won't be able to kill him. It's safer to go through private channels," Si Haixiao said while rolling his eyes.
"Private channels? What do you mean? "Niu Qiang was confused.
"Isn't it simple?" Si Haixiao looked at him and thought that this person was really stupid. He patiently reminded, "Why did you do this case? Isn't it just to sell a favor to Su Zhaohe? If you tell him about Lin Yi's identity, what do you think he will do? "
"Brother Su will definitely make a move on Lin Yi! He's currently at the peak of his power, and Lin Yi killed his cousin. How can he tolerate it? Even if he wants to swallow it, when the news gets out, others will definitely say that he's weak. It might even affect his apprenticeship. If that happens, he won't be able to not settle things with Lin Yi! "Niu Qiang's eyes suddenly lit up as he said excitedly.
"So, you tell him the information and bring him to Lin Yi. All you need to do now is to watch the show! For Su Zhaohe to be chosen by someone like Shanghai Tianhua, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's the strongest Foundation Establishment expert. At that time, he'll definitely be able to kill Lin Yi easily! "Si Haixiao laughed sinisterly.
In his eyes, Su Zhaohe had already become a sharp knife, and it just so happened to be aimed at Lin Yi. The only thing he had to do now was to encourage Niu Qiang to move Su Zhaohe's blade closer to Lin Yi's neck. That was all.
Unfortunately, he still didn't know Lin Yi's strength. He took it for granted that Lin Yi was definitely still in the Foundation Establishment realm. Back then, Wei Shenjin was injured because he was sneak attacked by Lin Yi from behind. That didn't count at all.
Little did he know that Lin Yi was an extraordinary person. How could he be judged by common sense? Su Zhaohe was the so-called strongest Foundation Establishment expert's blade. Even if Lin Yi took the initiative to approach, he still wouldn't be able to cut it!
"Good idea! Manager Si is indeed brilliant! " Niu Qiang nodded repeatedly as he listened. This way, he wouldn't have to risk breaking the rules, and at the same time, he could curry favor with Su Zhaohe. Moreover, he could take the opportunity to kill Lin Yi. It was simply killing three birds with one stone.
