Chapter 119: When someone is a little bit like you, I get panicked!

When the flying boat left Yongzhou Prefecture, the entire city was already in turmoil.

However, all the major forces did not make any obvious display of activity, but instead sent people to follow the flying boat from a distance.

It was a whole night before the spy came back quietly.

Everyone received three important pieces of news.

The flying boat exploded.

There are traces of a battle between masters of the grandmaster level, and the preliminary estimate is that there are more than four of them.

Qin Muye and his group disappeared mysteriously, leaving only the broken arm remains of the puppet.

These three pieces of news make people excited.

But they did not dare to be happy too soon. On the one hand, they sent people to continue searching in the mountains and forests, and on the other hand, they kept a close eye on the city.

until noon the next day.

The second group of spies came back, still finding nothing.

And in the city, there was no news of Qin Muye.

Now, the stakeholders finally couldn't help but celebrate.

In a manor somewhere.

Finally, the demon officials and representatives of the aristocratic families gathered together again.

Niu Pingtian cleared his throat and said, "It seems that Qin Muye must have been killed by the people from the Stealing Heaven Pavilion. This is very important for us..."

"Niu Pingtian shut up!"

"Fuck you...alright, alright! Just say it, what are you yelling about?"

"Ah……"

Zhu Hui snorted coldly. A trip to Lingnan made him see clearly the good-for-nothings of some people.

Although Qin Muye's methods this time were indeed fierce enough, no one could defend against them.

But Niu Pingtian... he didn't have any defense at all, and was just thinking about those awesome things all day long.

A pure idiot!
Can this person be the chief clerk?

If I hadn't been so naturally gifted and forced to practice, I could have done it, too.

Seeing Niu Pingtian shut up, he felt a little better.

He glanced at everyone present and said calmly: "The flying boat is the emperor's vehicle, but it was sunk brazenly. It seems that the emperor is determined to kill him. Qin Muye came to Lingnan to fight a blitzkrieg. If he is alive, there is no reason for him not to show up.

Now they...are probably dead, or captured alive by the Emperor of Heaven. Do you have any objection to this conclusion?"

The demon officials and high-ranking nobles present looked at each other, all of them undecided.

Of course, they also felt that Qin Muye was dead.

But after all, without any evidence, who can guarantee it?

Zhu Hui said in a deep voice: "Now it is not a question of whether to believe it or not, but a question of whether to believe it or not! Everyone, if I remember correctly, there are still many people who participated in the case of the house-guarding talisman being detained, including many key figures.

If Qin Muye were still alive, he would definitely come back to continue investigating.

Even if Qin Muye died, the court would most likely send another imperial envoy to investigate.

Keeping these people detained is equivalent to leaving their heads under the knife.

Only by rescuing these people, burning the case files, and finding an opportunity to kill the clerks who took notes, and completely cutting off their thoughts of continuing to investigate the case, can we truly be considered safe!"

Everyone looked at each other.

Then they nodded one after another.

This case is so terrible that no matter when, as long as it is investigated, someone in each family will die. It is just a matter of how many people will die, and whether they will be scapegoats or high-ranking officials.

only……

Huang Ling's face was solemn: "But they are all in the government office. We can't just force our way in, right?"

Zhu Hui raised his eyebrows and raised his hands to high-five.

"Squeak!"

The door opened.

A man with a simple and honest look walked in.

Everyone looked at him, all a little curious: "Yang Lie?"

The person who came was none other than Yang Lie, the judicial officer of Yongzhou.

He is one of the two people with the highest official rank in the entire Yongzhou, except for He Li.

Yang Lie smiled and bowed to everyone: "I have some good news, I wonder if you guys want to hear it."

"Xisuo!"

Everyone became interested.

As the judicial officer in charge of criminal investigations in Yongzhou, Yang Lie naturally had a lot of dealings with them.

A close friend!

How could it be bad news that he could bring back with a smile?

Yang Lie cupped his hands and said, "You all may not know that Feng Shuang... is already dead!"

"died!"

"died!"

"How did you die?"

Everyone became excited.

Feng Shuang died, Qin Muye disappeared, and Yang Lie was theirs again.

As long as He Li, the old fox, doesn't cause trouble, the government office will be vacant.

Although Wang Meng led troops to guard the yamen, they had no administrative power after all. The only reason they could stay in the yamen was because of the verbal consent of Qin Muye, the imperial envoy. They could not even produce a written document.

As long as everyone gathers around a great scholar to debate with him, he may be able to win the argument.

Although Wang Meng seemed to enjoy licking Qin Muye, he was actually very honest and had basically no conflicts with the evil officials. During breaks in training, he would occasionally drink and chat with his friends from local noble families.

This time it was probably due to pressure from the imperial envoy.

Now that he doesn’t have Qin Muye to support him, he won’t be able to hold on for long.

Yang Lie scratched his head and laughed, "He was killed by Li Baobao in the Yong Palace. Otherwise, Qin Muye would not have been so angry and chased him on a flying boat. Just now, Lord He found me and used his house as collateral for the money. He said that such a big thing happened in Yongzhou and he was to blame. He has decided to run away with his mother and children."

Quiet.

Quiet.

Then, the room erupted in laughter.

The government office now is just an empty city even if it is guarded by thousands of soldiers.

Everyone was excited and stood up to get started.

Zhu Hui called out to them, "Wait a minute!"

Everyone stopped and asked, "Master Zhu, do you have any other opinions?"

"nature!"

Zhu Hui said calmly: "Although we have the advantage, we should still be prepared for a rainy day. Although Qin Muye is likely to have something wrong, it is not impossible that he has already captured Li Baobao.

This person has never had a brain and gets carried away easily.

Li Baobao, this stupid guy, killed Feng Shuang in front of him. No one can predict how he will retaliate.

So you must think about it, if he really catches Li Baobao, what should we do? "

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim: "Master Zhu is indeed very thoughtful and considerate."

Think for a moment.

A dog demon sneered: "No matter how hot-blooded he is, does he dare to kill Li Baobao? If he doesn't kill Li Baobao, why would he touch us?"

Zhu Hui asked back: "What if?"

The dog demon snorted coldly: "If he really dares to touch us, we will just riot. Anyway, the imperial court has weak control over Lingnan, so why not declare ourselves king? Anyway, the broken place of the Great Saint Temple is a place that we may not be able to enter once in a few years. It is better to practice with the Burning Heaven Furnace.

We just happened to be the king of Lingnan, so we can train as many people as we want, right? "

"Ouch!"

Hear this.

All the humans present took a few steps back.

Don't do it!

Who is following you?
We just come to Lingnan to get some benefits. Who wants to rebel with you?
To know.

Many of them have their families in the Central Plains.

If he really participated in the rebellion, he would probably be removed from the family tree right away.

Zhu Hui's temples throbbed: "Brother Gou..."

The other demon officials also realized that something was wrong and quickly advised: "Master Zhu, Brother Gou is joking. We all received the grace of the Great Saint Temple to obtain our official status and transform into wisdom. How can we betray the Great Saint Temple?"

Zhu Hui's expression then eased a little. He had temporarily taken away Niu Pingtian's power and was now fully responsible for the case.

If Lingnan were to cause a rebellion, he would not be able to hold his head up in the Great Sage Temple.

Even if he breaks through the great demon, he will not be able to become a temple keeper.

I saw that all the demon officials were protecting the Great Sage Temple.

His expression eased a little, "In short, my opinion is that you should inform everyone that if Li Baobao is really caught, all those who are not deeply involved must take the initiative to step forward. These people will just spend two years in jail or go to the Demon Academy to study for a few years.

Those who are more deeply involved should hide in the dark and wait and see. If Li Baobao dies, then you can just run away.

If Li Baobao hadn't died, the worst that would have happened to you would have been like going to jail and studying magic, which is better than losing your official position.

Those who cannot bear this can give up their official positions and return to the wild mountains with their wives and children to become evil spirits.

of course.

After this, forget about holding any position in the temple anymore.

Weigh your own opinions!"

As soon as these words came out.

The demon officials looked at each other in bewilderment. With their level of rank, they were not yet able to personally participate in the demon clan's important affairs.

But those who can appear here all have some background, and naturally know that this "palace" refers to the Demon King Palace.

By then.

That was the real heyday of the demon race. It would be a huge loss if I couldn't hold the position.

For a moment, they found it difficult to make a decision.

See them struggle.

Zhu Hui smiled and consoled them, "Don't worry, everyone. What I just said may have a probability of less than 10% happening. I just said it so that you can prepare for the worst.

The most urgent task now is to go to the government office as soon as possible to put pressure on them, to get the person back and send him away, then destroy the files and kill the clerks.

Even if Qin Muye brings Li Baobao back, he can't do anything to us."

Hear this.

The faces of the demon officials suddenly turned from cloudy to bright, and they each hugged their friends from noble families and left.

These high-ranking members of the aristocratic families had happy smiles on their faces, but they felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy in their hearts.

Just now, they had prepared for the worst. If Qin Muye really brought Li Baobao back and killed him, these evil officials would not have a good ending.

If too much killing occurs, the evil officials in Lingnan will surely cause chaos.

Even though they seemed to be hesitant just now, if the fight really gets to the point, they won't weigh so many considerations.

After all, Zhu Hui came from the Great Sage Temple and had been disciplined for more than ten years. He had no idea what these evil officials from Lingnan were thinking.

It will really get chaotic then.

What should we do with these people?
No matter which side you stand on, I'm afraid nothing good will come of it.

They could only pray silently in their hearts.

Pray that Qin Muye is really dead, so that the court will only vent its anger on Tou Tian Ge.

At worst, come back later, when the case can no longer be reinvestigated.

Or maybe Qin Muye could stay rational and let this matter go.

Live daddy!

Our fate depends on you!

inside the house.

Zhu Hui was quite pleased with himself. He patted Niu Pingtian on the shoulder and said, "Watch carefully and learn well. This is how a demon official is!"

Niu Pingtian: “???”

……

There are many beautiful manors in the north of the city, which seem to be in a different world from the backward urban construction of Yongzhou.

The largest one among them is He Li’s house.

As the governor of Yongzhou, the garden of his family is larger than that of the Prince of Yong's Palace.

And thanks to Li Gong, the garden design has a very elegant atmosphere. After all, the two were good friends who wrote poems and couplets.

Such a large house naturally has a lot of servants.

But now.

Almost all the servants packed up their things and left in groups.

He Li looked at all this with a complicated expression and let out a long sigh.

After the last batch of servants left with their severance pay.

He turned around and prepared to go back to the yard.

But I heard footsteps behind me.

Looking back, it was the butler.

He asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"

The housekeeper said quickly, "Master! The government office has been surrounded. Everyone is denouncing General Wang Meng. Even Master Kong from the provincial school has come. He said that General Wang Meng has overstepped his authority and has taken Lord Qin hostage. He is also occupying the government office. It is obvious that he wants to rebel."

"These people are really good at confusing right and wrong!"

He Li felt that this world was a little too absurd, and for a moment he couldn't help laughing out loud.

He sighed: "What about General Wang Meng?"

The housekeeper looked a little solemn: "General Wang Meng is very tough, the city guards have all drawn their swords and their bowstrings are all stretched to the limit, but more and more demon officials have gathered here, and several families have also sent a lot of people to boost their momentum, so I don't know how long he can hold out.

My Lord, this Yongzhou City will be in chaos sooner or later, you should leave as soon as possible!"

"Ok!"

He Li nodded, then walked quickly towards the backyard.

When he opened the back door, he saw that the carriage was already ready, carrying all his relatives and belongings.

of course.

He also spent nearly half of his cash to hire a team of expert guards.

He opened the curtain and got in.

The young woman eagerly grasped his hand: "Husband, when are we leaving?"

“Let’s go right away!”

He Li patted the back of her hand with one hand and stroked his son's head with the other.

aside.

The blind old woman asked anxiously, "Li'er, is Xiaoshuang still not going to go with us?"

He Li smiled helplessly: "I didn't find it, I guess I can't find it!"

"How can that be done!"

The blind old woman was so anxious that she burst into tears: "This child is very straightforward. If you don't stop him, he will definitely clash with those evil officials. You send someone else... No! You go and invite him in person. It's easy to break. If you don't take him away, you will harm him!"

He Li's eyes were red: "Mom! He won't leave."

"You don't even know how to ask him for help!"

The blind old woman was a little angry.

He Li blew his nose: "Mom! Why are you so nice to him?"

The blind old woman tightly grasped her cane. Because she was holding it too tightly, the bones on the back of her hand were arched like dead wood. "He...he looks like you when you were young!"

He Li: “…”

I don't know when, my eyes had turned red.

The blind old woman gritted her teeth and growled in a commanding tone: "Aren't you more powerful than him? If you go, you must tie him up! Otherwise, break his legs and send him back to the Feng family! Otherwise, otherwise...I will not recognize you as my son."

"Mother! Please forgive me for being unfilial!"

He Li covered his face and cried, "I can't bring Xiao Feng back!"

The blind old woman was furious: "You, you..."

He Li lifted the carriage curtain and patted the coachman on the shoulder: "Let's go! To Kyoto!"

"Kyoto?"

The young woman was startled: "Husband! Shouldn't we flee to Baiyue? If you are so derelict in your duty, wouldn't it be…"

He Li did not reply. When the carriage started moving, he jumped off.

He knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed to the departing carriage.

"Mother! Please forgive me for being unfilial and failing to save my dear brother's life!"

"My dear brother died on the Lingyun Road, and now his ambitions are not yet fulfilled. As his elder brother, I cannot sit idly by and watch."

"I can't accompany you any more, mom. Please take care of yourself!"

"When Xiao'er grows up, tell him that his father is not a coward!"

The cries of women and children were heard in the car.

The old woman remained silent for a long time.

The carriage went farther and farther away, but no one got off, as if someone was holding it back.

that's it.

while walking.

Disappeared from He Li's sight.

He Li stood up, and the housekeeper had already prepared the horse and came over.

He patted the butler's shoulder, his tear-stained face filled with a relieved smile.

"treasure!"

"treasure!"

He jumped on his horse and galloped towards the government office.

……

In front of the government office.

The two sides have already been on the verge of a war.

Wang Meng held up the document and said, "This is the document that Lord Qin entrusted me to take care of the prisoner. Why don't you believe it?"

"Bastard!"

The great scholar Kong Lingxiu of the provincial school angrily shouted, "You are such a bastard! Not only did you drive the governor away and hold the imperial envoy hostage, you also forged the imperial envoy's documents!
Detaining virtuous people and forcing them to confess by torture is inhumane!
The governor regards you as a friend, but you are interfering in his affairs. This is injustice!

The imperial envoy was acting for His Majesty, and you were so bold as to kidnap him by force. This is disloyalty!

You were born into the Wang family of Langya, but you did something that brought shame to your family. This is unfilial!

You are a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust lunatic. How dare you bark in front of me?

I advise you to give up your rebellious intentions and surrender!

Otherwise, we will not be polite!"

"Draw up a draft!"

Wang Meng was so angry that he cursed. He didn't expect that no one would believe the document written by Qin Muye himself.

If you want to suppress these bastards, I'm afraid only Qin Muye can do it in person.

But Qin Muye said that he should try to delay him for one day and not bother him unless it was absolutely necessary, because he had important matters to attend to.

But now...are we really going to fight?
Seeing that Wang Meng refused to retreat.

Huang Ling stepped forward with a gentle smile: "General Wang, you said that this document was given to you by Lord Qin, but you didn't let Lord Qin come out to see us! After all, this is the government office. If you, a military general, occupy this place for no reason, it will be inappropriate if it causes trouble in Kyoto."

Wang Meng's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

These Lingnan barbarians really have ulterior motives.

Relying on the fact that the emperor is far away, their faces are even uglier than those parasites in the capital.

He gritted his teeth and was about to inform Qin Muye through the simple puppet.

A man and a horse fell from the sky.

"Oh!"

He Li sat upright on his tall horse, looking straight at Wang Meng who was standing on the steps: "Sir Wang, you are a military commander, and you are indeed not suitable to handle the affairs of the government."

Wang Meng frowned: "He Li! You f*cking ......"

Huang Ling was immediately overjoyed: "Master He, you are finally here, hurry up and drive this guy away, and release the local sages they have detained!"

Hearing this, the others also became excited.

The demon officers all put away their demonic powers. Although they had the advantage in individual cultivation, the soldiers trained by Wang Meng were indeed not weak, and no one wanted to withstand a round of volleys.

The people of the aristocratic families also breathed a sigh of relief. He Li, the old fox, finally recognized himself and stood in the right place.

They are ready to welcome the "local celebrities" back home.

But I didn't expect it.

He Li turned his horse around, drew out the sword from his waist, and looked down at them: "The government office only holds criminals, not local celebrities. As the parent official of Yongzhou, I will be in charge of this case while the imperial envoy is away! Anyone who talks nonsense again will be punished with the same crime! Anyone who trespasses into the government office will be killed without mercy!"

Wang Meng: “!!!”

Huang Ling: “!!!”

Everyone present: “!!!”
