Chapter 910 – Thunderclap Method
6th month, 29th day, afternoon, Di Renjie and his group arrived at Quanzhou and stayed in the inn.
Seeing Gao Ying, Di Renjie raised his first request, which was personally participate in the investigation; this request put Gao Ying into a tough spot.
This request indicated an obvious distrust in their ability. However, who was the person in front of him? He was the number one detective in China’s history.
That night, Di Renjie interrogated the suspect.
In just one night, his identity as Difeng spy number 15 was unveiled.
The moment the result came out, Gao Ying was speechless.
When Emperor Wen heard the news, he was furious. He did not expect the Yanhuang Alliance to actually act like they wanted to cooperate but also try to drag Great Sui down.
Their actions disgusted him.
Ouyang Shuo took the chance to raise his first request, which was to list territories of the Yanhuang Alliance as enemies.
With that, not only did it stop them from recruiting talents from Quanzhou, but it also stopped the trading between the two. This would greatly prevent the Yanhuang Alliance from working with Great Sui.
Emperor Wen did not even hesitate and immediately agreed.
After being played, he had nothing but hate for the Yanhuang Alliance.
Di Chen would never be able to guess that a master stroke would actually cause so many problems. He would not have guessed how good Di Renjie was. He managed to find out so much in a single night.
As a top spy of Difeng, number 15 should not have admitted the truth so easily.
The name of the God Detective was real.
Apart from that, Ouyang Shuo was ready to act against Streamer.
Streamer was the Guardian Guild of Quanzhou Satellite City. Before the battle for the Satellite City, Jun Yilao was tempted by Silver Hand and betrayed Shanhai Alliance to join Yanhuang Alliance.
When Xunlong Dianxue revealed the ugly news regarding Streamer, it dragged the guild into the dirt. Moreover, Jun Yilao’s identity as a bastard son was exposed.
Even so, it did not cause much damage to Streamer and Jun Yilao. The traitor was still living a good life.
This time, Ouyang Shuo wanted to show him what a thunderclap method was; he wanted to make him know the wrath of a king.
The second request would be for Great Sui to remove Streamer from the position of Guardian Guild and choose someone else.
As the ruler of Quanzhou, Emperor Wen had the ability to do so; he only had to pay a small price. If he did well, it would basically cause no loss to Great Sui.
Since that was the case, he had no reason to reject.
The moment the news came out, Streamer was in chaos. Jun Yilao became the target of abuse, and the past matters were dug up once more.
Without a doubt, this only happened because Jun Yilao betrayed Shanhai Alliance.
To Streamer, the moment their Guardian Guild status was removed, it would be a catastrophe. Along with Great Sui becoming enemies with Yanhuang Alliance, it was like announcing the death of Streamer in Quanzhou.
Without mentioning the position of Guardian Guild, whether they could stand up in Quanzhou was a problem.
The survival of a guild concerned the interests of hundreds of thousands of members, so how could they not be anxious?
Streamer’s actions were really quick.
Just as the news spread, Jun Yilao was kicked out of the guild. Of course, his shares in Streamer were protected by law so he kept that.
Even so, it was a catastrophe for him. With no guild to support him, he would not be able to see the light of day.
Without a guild protecting him, he was in danger of being assassinated at any moment.
As the guild leader of Streamer, in the process of building the guild up, he had become enemies with many. Those enemies could not deal with the strong Streamer. However, dealing with a guild leader that was abandoned by his guild was just too easy.
Jun Yilao could only use his little shares in Streamer to spend the rest of his life.
As expected, the moment he walked out, he was assassinated and sent to the reincarnation hall.
The moment the matter went out, Jun Yilao became the first guild leader to be kicked.
Who knows whether he regretted betraying the Shanhai Alliance or not? Jun Yilao probably could not imagine that Ouyang Shuo would still take revenge so long after the matter passed.
The moment he got a chance, he used it.
The tragic end of Jun Yilao scared Priest Qingniu and Jianqi Leiyin. They were like Jun Yilao; they had betrayed the Shanhai Alliance.
None of them knew if they would face the same revenge as Jun Yilao in the future.
Thinking about this, Priest Qingniu could not fall asleep. He regretted his actions, and he regretted listening to his master. Although that was the case, he had no way back.
Similarly, the pain in Jianqi Leiyin’s eyes was getting thicker.
…
Just removing Jun Yilao would not be able to change the fate of Streamer. Obviously, they were not that foolish.
The moment the new guild leader – Horseman Haoran – was appointed, he rushed to contact Di Renjie. He said that as long as Great Xia was willing to remove their punishment, they were willing to do anything.
When Ouyang Shuo heard that, he laughed.
Since Streamer knew their place, Ouyang Shuo naturally showed mercy.
Destroying Streamer would not do any good for Great Xia. Instead, it would make people angry. It was not worth it.
If he really were to cut off the income of the hundreds of thousands of players in Streamer, it would be a problem when they tried to take revenge.
“I want to destroy individuals, not the whole group.”
Since Streamer submitted to their fate, Ouyang Shuo had no reason to go soft. Ouyang Shuo obviously wanted to control Streamer.
Ouyang Shuo had been through enough betrayals, and he would not easily trust anyone.
Hence, Ouyang Shuo gave them three conditions.
First, he would promote one Streamer member to deputy guild leader.
This person was a spy that the Shanhai Guards had placed inside Streamer. Now, it was just moving from behind the scenes to the front to represent the presence of Great Xia in Streamer.
Secondly, they were to give Ouyang Shuo 5% of the shares, and the title of honorary guild leader.
Although an honorary guild leader did not hold any power, the holder of the position held the same status and treatment. With that, he could control the guild at a crucial moment.
Thirdly, they were to merge with a Quanzhou guild known as Wuyi Alley, and they were to promote the guild leader Wild not Idle to the position of elder.
Without a doubt, Wuyi Alley was a guild that Ouyang Shuo had 100% control over.
The above three conditions, along with the spies that the Shanhai Guards had in Streamer, basically ensured Ouyang Shuo’s control.
Along with Streamer returning to the Shanhai Alliance, they had one more city in the guild circle, so they now had four out of nine.
With that, Silver Hand’s grand plan had failed.
……
To the Great Sui, not breaking the contract due to removing Streamer as a Guardian Guild was great; it was a delightful matter.
However, thinking back to how the Great Xia had used him as a knife, Emperor Wen was unhappy. However, he had no choice but to lower his head.
These two conditions were just the appetizers of the peace talks. The key condition was not raised yet. Thinking of which, he felt even more depressed.
