"Sir, Yun Hanjie from the Yun family and Zhao Yu from the Gongsun family have already arrived in Dongning City. Both families hope to see you immediately..." Qi Dechao walked in

Ye Mingsheng's study room, reporting the latest news to Ye Mingsheng.

Ye Mingsheng, who was busy writing notes on the memorial, heard this, nodded slightly and said calmly:

"The Yun family and the Gongsun family can no longer sit still!"

Ye Mingsheng seemed to have discovered something here, and said with some confusion:

I know Yun Hanjie from the Yun family, but who is this Zhao Yu? Why did the Gongsun family send him here?"

Regarding Ye Mingsheng's doubts, Qi Dechao immediately explained:

"Let me tell you, sir, this Zhao Yu is the son-in-law of the Gongsun family. He married Gongsun Huan's biological sister. He is very trusted by Gongsun Huan. Currently, he is mainly responsible for the Gongsun family's commercial trade in Changqing Mansion and land rent collection."

Qi Dechao's introduction gave Ye Mingsheng some understanding of Zhao Yu. After pondering for a moment, Ye Mingsheng ordered Qi Dechao:

"What's going on with the Cui family?"

Qi Dechao thought for a while and said:

"The Coordination Office said there is news that Cui Shao plans to come to Dongning to meet with the adults, but the accuracy of this news has yet to be confirmed...

"

Ye Mingsheng heard a sneer at the corner of his mouth. Cui Shao, an old fox, was really tolerant. Regardless of the rejection of those Cui party members, he insisted on promoting them and letting them touch the interests of the Gongsun family and the Yun family, just to provoke the three families.

The conflict caused the three families to be suspicious of each other.

Now the Gongsun family and the Yun family have sent people to talk to them just in case and to protect the family's interests. Most of their goals have been achieved, but the Cui family is still as smelly and hard as the stones in the pit.

, only this kind of baseless news comes out that is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Looking at the sneer on Ye Mingsheng's face, Qi Dechao guessed Ye Mingsheng's thoughts and cautiously asked:

"Sir, do you want the Coordination Office to confirm this news?"

"Whatever, if Cui Shao wants to come, he can come. If he doesn't want to come, forget it!"

After speaking, Ye Mingsheng calmly ordered:

"Yun Hanjie and Zhao Yu will ask them to wait for a moment. The most important thing at the moment is the military parade. All other matters can be postponed for a while!"

After finishing his words, Ye Mingsheng seemed to have recalled something and asked:

"By the way, have Huo San and the others caught the thief named Liu Baoshan that Ye Kui reported before?"

After hearing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Qi Dechao thought about his words before starting to say:

"Deputy Director Wang from the Coordination Office sent news yesterday, saying that Director Huo personally led a team to launch a siege against Liu Baoshan. Basically, all the gang assigned to Liu Baoshan by the Supervision Department have been arrested, and ten of them have been killed and captured.

Of the two, only Liu Baoshan escaped. The Coordination Office is still continuing to hunt Liu Baoshan..."

Listening to Qi Dechao's words, Ye Mingsheng said dissatisfied:

, "There are still five days left before the military parade. No matter what the Coordination Office does, I must kill this Liu Baoshan before the military parade begins. Liu Baoshan must not be allowed to pose even the slightest threat to the military parade ceremony!"

Ye Mingsheng attaches great importance to this victory parade. This is an action that he has been planning for a long time to show his strength to the gentry and people of Liaoyang to stabilize people's hearts, and to show off his force and muscles to the aristocratic families. He will use this as an opportunity to officially launch his own

The disarmament plan kicked off a series of reforms in Liaoyang.

Shen Jianzhong naturally had a premonition about Ye Mingsheng's thoughts, so he sent Liu Baoshan to destroy it.

Ye Mingsheng must not let their conspiracy succeed. If Liu Baoshan kills several officials during the ceremony, then the Fengwu Army and Ye Mingsheng will lose their lives. The military parade will not achieve the effect of calming the people and showing off force.

, on the contrary, it will intensify the panic of the people and cause social instability...

Listening to Ye Mingsheng's serious tone, Qi Dechao also said with a solemn expression:

"Sir, I will go to the Coordination Office to urge you!"

····················

····················

Maochengzi Town is fifty miles outside Dongning City.

The originally peaceful villages and towns were now in a state of turmoil. All entrances and exits of the town had been blocked by heavily armed Fengwu soldiers. No entry or exit was allowed. In addition, a large number of black-clad guards from the Coordination Office were also searching house to house.

At this time, he was in the Maoji Restaurant in the center of the town. Although Huo San was drinking wine and eating peanuts, his expression was full of solemnity at this time, and he was not at all relaxed and leisurely like when drinking in a pub.

Although he did not know the latest instructions just given by Ye Mingsheng at this time, he also knew the importance of the victory parade to the Fengwu Army, which also made him feel the seriousness of the development of the situation. As a local snake in Liaoyang, Huo Sanzao

During my years, I had heard of the name of Liu Baoshan, the "King of Yama", the top killer of the Supervision Department who was so derisive.

This time, after learning from an insider in the Supervision Department that Shen Jianzhong had activated Liu Baoshan, who had already retired, and led a group of capable personnel to sabotage the victory parade, Huo San immediately became vigilant and immediately set out to encircle and suppress the military parade.

The plan is to eliminate this group of people before they enter Dongning City and ensure the safety of the victory parade...

The plan originally went very smoothly. With the cooperation of insiders in the Supervision Department, Liu Baoshan led twelve men to Maochengzi Town. In the trap that Huo San carefully designed for them, Huo San was delighted to see the arrival of the prey.

Yu Ye immediately closed the net.

Surrounded by the soldiers of Fengwu and the action teams of the Coordination Office, these dozen killers of the Supervision Department were killed and captured. However, the only pity was that this Liu Baoshan was much more powerful than Huo San had imagined.

, even though he was hit in the arm by a Weiyuan gun, he killed more than a dozen soldiers and got rid of the pursuit.

After discovering this situation, Huo San felt a little bit lucky despite being angry. Fortunately, he was well prepared just in case, and blocked all the roads in and out of Maochengzi Town early.

If he had not blocked the access roads like this, once Liu Baoshan escaped, the consequences would be disastrous. If Liu Baoshan were allowed to kill several officials during the victory parade, Huo San can imagine that the furious Ye Mingsheng would definitely chop him down.

own head.

Although Liu Baoshan has not been caught now, Huo San is sure that Liu Baoshan cannot run far now and should still be hiding in the town!

Although I don’t know where Liu Baoshan is hiding in that corner of the town, it is not a big deal to Huo San. Maochengzi is a small town with a total of 500 households and about 3,000 people.

Not big.

After coordinating with the military, Huo San mobilized thousands of soldiers to Maochengzi Town. A thousand soldiers searched all over the place. Even if they had to dig three feet into the ground, they still had to kill Liu Baoshan!

Liu Baoshan is awesome! He is awesome! But no matter how awesome or awesome he is! He is still a human being!

As the saying goes, two fists cannot defeat four hands, and a good tiger cannot defeat a pack of wolves. There are more than a thousand people here, and one person can drown Liu Baoshan just by urinating!

Huo San just swallowed the wine in one gulp, and soon he drank up the whole bottle of wine. Just when he was about to ask the waiter to bring a bottle of wine, his confidant, the captain of the action team,

Townsend came over and reported:

"Director, several squires in this town are clamoring to see you, saying that we are now blocking the road to prevent the villagers from going out, which is delaying them from serving the crops..."

Huo San, who was not in a good mood after hearing this, waved his hands impatiently and said:

"Tell them all to get lost! How can their crops be compared with Liu Baoshan? If we can't catch Liu Baoshan, our entire coordination office will be in trouble!"

"Understood, sir! I'm going to blast them away!" Townsend nodded and was about to take action, but as soon as he took two steps, he heard Huo San behind him stop him and said:

"Forget it, Lord Governor, we still value the lives of these poor guys. If they file a complaint, they will be scolded even if they say nothing. Just tell them to count the losses in the past two days, and we will coordinate and deal with them.

Pay it forward!"

"Yes!" Townsend took the order and left.

Looking at Townsend leaving, Huo San, who was a little drunk, asked the waiter for a drink and couldn't help but sigh:

"What he has brewed is that the Governor loves the people like his sons, and the military discipline is strict. If only before when Song Wenhui was the governor, it would have been better if the soldiers entered the village and did not use troops to plunder property. Now they have the courage to block the road.

Waiwai············”

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo San felt a fierce wind hitting his neck. The speed of the wind was so fast that he had no time to think in the lightning flash. However, the muscle memory formed by his many years of martial arts practice made Huo San subconsciously twist.

His body rolled over. Although he was a little embarrassed, Huo San narrowly escaped the strong wind.

Huo San, who was lying on the ground drunk, was also frightened out of his sleep. Ding Qing saw in front of him a strong, honest-looking middle-aged man. If this man wasn't Liu Baoshan, who else could he be?

Seeing Huo San dodge his attack, Liu Baoshan also had a hint of annoyance in his eyes. If it weren't for his arm being injured by the fire blunderbuss, and the attack speed is now slower, or that hand knife just now

, enough to stun Huo San!

After fighting his way out of the dragnet set by the Coordination Office, Liu Baoshan wanted to wait for an opportunity to escape from Maochengzi Town, but he soon discovered that all the roads in and out of the town were guarded by Fengwu soldiers, and there were a large number of

Taxis entered the village and started searching...

Seeing this scene, Liu Baoshan's hope of escaping was completely shattered. Unwilling to surrender, he immediately came up with a new idea, which was to capture the thief first, capture the king, and then seize the leader of the gang.

Holding this person hostage, with a hostage in hand, his chances of escaping will be greatly increased.

Liu Baoshan made up his mind and took action. He first confirmed that Huo San was in the restaurant in the center of the town, then killed the guards and sneaked into the restaurant. Now was his best opportunity to take action. If he missed it, he would undoubtedly be

A dead end!

At this time, seeing that Liu Baoshan had already killed him, Huo San was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know why Liu Baoshan killed him, he couldn't care about it at this time, and immediately shouted:

"Come quickly! Liu Baoshan is here!"

Although Huo San has followed Huo Xiaoli in martial arts since he was a child and is very confident in his own kung fu, he is also self-aware that he is not Liu Baoshan's opponent at all, so after shouting this voice, he turned around and wanted to

Escape, he finally followed Ye Mingsheng, his life was bright, but he didn't want to lose his life here...

Huo San wants to run away, how can Liu Baoshan fulfill his wish?

It was too late, but it was too soon. I saw Liu Baoshan flipping over and landing directly in front of Huo San, blocking Huo San's escape. Seeing Liu Baoshan appear in front of him, Huo San's face was ashen. However,

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside. Hearing the footsteps, Huo San, who knew that his reinforcements were coming, felt reassured and became energetic.
To be continued...
