"In the morning, your uncle Wang asked someone to send a message, saying that your father was caught transporting pickles in the car and was sentenced to selling smuggled salt. He was ordered to pay twenty sticks and jailed for half a year."
On the surface, this punishment is within a reasonable range, but even a naive person knows that this is the continuation of the matter.
Pickling pickles with private salt is indeed a way to sell private salt, but in the local area, more pickling is done with vinegar, even with private salt, but no one cares about it, after all, it can be done
Those who live are either local tycoons or desperadoes.
Given Liu Jun's father's petty fighting situation, private salt dealers would never ask him to be a middleman.
Li Bo was left to take care of his mother, but Liu Jun went out to a cooked meat stall and bought more than ten kilograms of cooked meat. He squatted in front of the stall and ate it. The injury he had suffered in the past few days had not fully healed. Liu Jun needed to
Add lots of energy.
From a perceptual point of view, if his father is arrested, he, as a son, should immediately rescue him.
But from a rational point of view, it was already two days ago that my father was arrested, and the rod that deserved it has been slapped on him. If he immediately rescued him without caring about anything, or if he was prepared before taking action, the results may be completely different.
.
The development of the matter filled Liu Jun's heart with anger. He wanted to go on a killing spree and kill so many people that they were terrified and would not dare to trouble him again. This might get rid of him once and for all, but it might also cause bigger troubles.
In a short while, two kilograms of cooked meat had been stuffed into his stomach. Although the power of his qi and blood can only move in the muscle fascia now, the flow of qi and blood between the chest and abdomen will also accelerate the blood flow.
As the food flowed and his stomach gradually warmed up, Liu Jun stuffed the remaining meat into a package and carried it on his back. Instead of going to the inn to rent a horse, he threw off his two long legs and ran into the wilderness.
He ate every half an hour, and the carriage traveled a distance of two and a half days. It took him three hours to complete the journey by using the method of casting a golden body with fire.
By the time he arrived at Lijia Village, the sky had darkened. After taking a short rest, Liu Jun arrived at the door of Uncle Wang's house, but before he entered, he heard Aunt Wang's voice:
"Wang Zhuo, you are the only one who is capable, aren't you? Shitou caused such a big disaster, and you still want to tell others? Now, people are running far away, and you, if I hadn't gone to my father to go to the county magistrate
I beg you for mercy, you have already gone to see the street, do you know?"
"Madam, calm down, don't you think of Shitou's father risking his life to save me?"
"Yes, he saved you, but that person is not a practical person. If it weren't for your help over the years, their family wouldn't have enough food to eat. No matter how great the kindness is, it should be repaid."
"Okay, okay, I will never help you in the future. From now on, we can live our own lives and keep everything safe. Madam..."
Liu Jun left silently, a little confused. He didn't know where to go to get the news. After thinking about it, there was only one Li Ze, but he helped me take away the guards last time, and I didn't know how he was going to be dealt with.
For some reason, Liu Jun suddenly thought of the woman in the red gauze skirt. But she is from the Li family. Will she help me?
Thinking of the 100 taels of silver she had sent, Liu Jun gritted his teeth and thought he might owe more, spread out his body and ran towards the Li family manor.
After taking a bath, Li Xiangtong sat in front of the dressing table covered with gauze. A beautiful face was reflected in the polished bronze mirror. Her nose was slightly wrinkled, showing a bit of coquettishness, and her eyebrows were slightly raised, but she looked full of heroism.
No matter how many thoughts and tricks I have in my heart, it can't overcome the fact that I am born as a girl.
She was suddenly startled, as if she saw something in the bronze mirror that shouldn't be there. Before she could react, a rough big hand covered her mouth, and hot breath sprayed on her neck.
, which made her get goosebumps involuntarily.
"I don't mean any harm, don't scream, okay?" The man in the bronze mirror looked into her eyes, without a hint of lust.
Li Xiangtong blinked her eyes quickly. When the man let go of his hand, she turned around and saw that it was Liu Jun.
She stared at Liu Jun intently. A few days later, the aura on Liu Jun's body became different. The closer she got to him, the more she could feel that he exuded some kind of dangerous aura, not the kind that made people scared.
Danger only makes people want to explore. There is a trace of sadness in the clean eyes, and there always seems to be a trace of pity when looking at people.
Li Xiangtong shuddered and stopped looking at him, but anger welled up in her heart. The last thing she wanted to see in her life was pity.
"You broke into a woman's boudoir in the middle of the night and said you meant no harm, but that's not very convincing."
Liu Jun smiled bitterly, spread his hands, and did not hide anything.
"My father was arrested, but after much thought, I realized that you, a person I've only met once, could possibly help me."
A flash of joy flashed in Li Xiangtong's eyes. He stood up and turned around twice to calm down his mood. Then he walked up to Liu Jun and looked down at his eyes.
"How do you want me to help you?"
Liu Jun didn't dodge and looked directly into her eyes.
"Your Li family has connections in the county government. I want you to help me find out who is taking the lead in my father's matter."
"So that's what happened." Li Xiangtong straightened up, but was not as interested as before, "I can tell you right now, didn't you kill some people on the way? After you left, the county lieutenant went to check the scene.
But he found out that those people were members of the Red Lotus Sect. He wanted to get some credit, so he linked you to the Red Lotus Sect and had already reported it to the state capital. Of course, he had other reasons for arresting your father.
"
Liu Jun's eyebrows stood up, the light in his eyes was frightening, and his voice was hoarse: "That means there is absolutely no room for change in this matter."
Li Xiangtong couldn't help but take a few steps back when he saw him, caressed his thumping chest, and then summoned up the courage to walk up to Liu Jun: "It's not completely impossible. My father has a friend of the same age in the state capital. It's just that
Friendship becomes less and less the more you use it, and the price is very high.”
Liu Jun suppressed the light in his eyes: "What do you want me to pay?"
Li Xiangtong's face gradually turned red and her expression became a little uneasy, and Liu Jun began to have a bad feeling.
"Getting married!" Li Xiangtong said loudly, her face flushed, her eyes dull, and she didn't know what kind of struggle she had gone through.
Now that he had said it, Li Xiangtong let go, holding Liu Jun's arm tightly and staring into his eyes.
"I've checked your story. No matter where you learned martial arts, you are definitely a genius if you can kill a person who has been famous for more than ten years in the Qi and Blood realm after learning it for more than two months. And your temperament is not like other cultivators.
The peasants are so weak that they give people the impression that if they offend you, the emperor will kill you."
"I have an older brother above me who only knows how to fight cocks and walk dogs all day long. I think I am a hundred times better than him, but because I am a girl, I can't do anything. But with you, it's different. We can even do it."
