The most intelligent general in the world

There is a not-so-big house in the northwest corner, which must be the residence of this level 5 official.

Although the house is not big, its structure is the most sophisticated and it has a side room that is not available in other houses. It is very likely that this is where he hid the proceeds of corruption.

Zhang Liang left the platform and came to a dark place. He took out the incendiary bomb he had prepared in advance, ran to the northwest corner of the house, lit the incendiary bomb, and threw it at the door of the side room. Worried that the fire was not big enough, he threw two more in succession.

Soon, the wooden doors and windows of the side room were set on fire.

Seeing the fire burning, Zhang Liang acted quickly, ignited other incendiary bombs and threw them at other houses. After doing all this, he hurried back to the platform, mobilized his internal strength to create an east wind, and intensified the fire.

Then, Zhang Liang deliberately sneaked into the house and escaped in a sneaky manner, deliberately letting several servants who were fighting the fire see his face, and then pretended to flee the scene in panic.

Zhang Liang used the same method to implement the same strategy against several other officials and forces who had been affiliated with Zhao Gao.

Suddenly, fires broke out in the imperial city and the temperature rose sharply. Many citizens were awakened and got up to witness this scene. They were filled with fear, worrying whether the imperial city was about to be in turmoil.

After finishing all this, Zhang Liang quietly returned to his apartment, cleaned up all traces, and rested.

The next day, when the news reached Ying Zheng, he was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter to find out which daring criminal dared to set fire to the imperial city.

If this matter is not investigated thoroughly, not only will the people's trust in the court be weakened again, but the person who dared to plan arson in the imperial city will always be a threat to the imperial city.

Ying Zheng did not want the Qin Empire to decline so quickly, so even though his physical condition did not allow him to take care of state affairs, he still insisted on solving this problem.

At this time, the gangsters had changed their hiding places and dispersed to various places in the imperial city, while their leader found a hidden and safe place to stay.

At this moment, they sat together, their faces full of fatigue and despair.

"Boss, we just went out for a while yesterday, and the brothers who stayed behind were killed. Who did this?" asked the thin man sitting next to the leader.

"Humph, I think this was most likely done by Zhao Gao's men, the mastermind behind the scenes. They saw that our power was growing day by day and posed a threat to them.

They are afraid that we will settle accounts with them, so they take the initiative to deal with us brothers!" said the burly man leaning against the door frame.

"Come on, stop talking. It's obvious that that group of people did it.

Damn, we went too easy on them, we only burned down their nightclub.

Humph, now, we have to get rid of these guys one by one! "After saying that, the gangster boss clenched his fists and looked out the window with gritted teeth.

At this time, a thin man rushed in, "Boss, something bad has happened!"

The sturdy man at the door grabbed the thin man and said, "What the hell are you yelling about? You didn't knock before entering the house. Do you believe I will beat you up?"

The eldest brother stopped him: "Okay, Lao Qi, let him go first and listen to what urgent matter he has."

The strong man let go of the thin man, who quickly said, "Boss, the brothers we sent out to monitor the major forces suddenly lost contact this morning. It seems that everyone has disappeared without leaving any clues."

"What! Were those brothers also killed by those bastards!" Before the boss could say anything, the burly man yelled.

The gangster boss lowered his head, clenched his fists, and said, "These people really forced me to kill people!"

"Boss, what should we do next?"

"Don't worry, send a few brothers out to investigate the current situation. In two days, we will give them a surprise counterattack!"

……

The leaders of several forces that were set on fire yesterday also gathered together to discuss the attack last night.

At a long table, various leaders sat with heavy hearts. Everyone had suffered huge economic losses because of last night's incident and was in a heavy mood at the moment.

They were originally vassals of Zhao Gao. They did whatever Zhao Gao said. Although they flattered him every day, at least they could make a lot of money.

Now that Zhao Gao is dead, the connection between them has been severed, and they each govern themselves without any conflict of interest.

They originally thought that even if Zhao Gao was gone, they would be able to keep their property. Although they could no longer be arrogant and domineering, they would have no problem living a peaceful and stable life for the rest of their lives.

However, a fire last night completely shattered their hopes. Now they were helpless and had lost all their property. The forces that were previously suppressed by Zhao Gao also began to bully them. It could be said that they truly felt despair.

"I say, sitting here doing nothing is not a solution, we have to come up with a solution.

“The fifth-rank official who was the first to suffer last night spoke up.

"Master Li, we have nothing now. How can we fight against others? We are already satisfied as long as we can keep our lives."

"Sir Wang, what you said is wrong. As officials appointed by the imperial court, who else can decide our fate besides life and death!"

"You two, calm down. We are in the same boat now, and we can't quarrel among ourselves!" Seeing that the two were about to confront each other, the old man next to them hurriedly tried to dissuade them.

"Although we have lost our former power, someone is now trying to bully us. We have to find out who this person is!"

"Yes! Find out who is so persistent that he won't let us go even after Zhao Gao dies.

No, even if I risk everything, I will make him pay the price! "

……

The forces of the two sides were completely antagonistic to each other and the fight was going to end, which was what Zhang Liang expected.

Zhang Liang sat in the courtyard, sipping tea leisurely. He knew everything that was going on outside without having to do anything himself.

Zhang Liang looked into the distance and the sky seemed even bluer. He believed that the haze in the sky would soon dissipate.

……

The gang boss is worried about his brothers' affairs, and troubles are coming one after another.

“Boss! Boss! Something bad has happened!”

"What happened again? Tell me!" The boss was very annoyed by the series of things happening, and his tone was full of anger.

"Boss, I just went to the city to collect intelligence and found that your portrait is wanted. Now it is posted everywhere in the busy areas of the city, and a reward of one million cash is offered!"

"What! I have been trying to keep a low profile during this period, how could I be wanted by the court! Tell me quickly, what crime does the warrant say I have committed?"

“The warrant says that you set fire in the city last night, disrupting public safety and defying the law.

I heard that several high-ranking officials in the imperial court are also offering a reward for your information privately! "

"Nonsense! I slept well at home last night, but when I woke up I was wanted!"

"Boss, is it possible that someone is impersonating you, or is this just a coincidence?"

“No way, I don’t think it’s that simple.

In this way, you notify the brothers lurking in the city to be more covert, secretly find out the ins and outs of this matter, and report to me as soon as possible.
