Chapter 12 Survival from Desperation

The man was finally found. The officer of the Wucheng Army and Horses Department wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded and bowed to the stunning woman and complimented her: "I am a little late, Miss Zhang. Please forgive me. Please forgive me."

A large group of officials were relieved and shocked.

God knows if there is anything wrong with this young lady and her father-in-law becomes angry, what kind of turmoil will be caused in the capital.

Don't say that everyone's jobs are not guaranteed.

I'm afraid that in an instant, countless heads will fall to the ground!

The stunning woman was indeed a lady from an official family. At this time, she became reserved again. She bowed to the military commander and said softly: "My lord, there is no need to be polite."

The officer hurriedly returned the salute: "Miss Zhang said something serious, I don't dare, I don't dare."

But the woman's elegant and bright eyes were looking calmly at the roof, in the direction where Shen Lie disappeared, and she suddenly stood up in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

In the snow.

The general said hurriedly: "It's windy on the street, Miss..."

The stunning woman nodded again, as if she had made some decision, and called the general over to give her instructions: "There is no need for the Five Cities Military and Horse Division to investigate today's matter...Father, the little girl will explain it herself... You are like this, do you understand?"

The sixth-grade military general was slightly stunned and looked at Miss Zhang's quiet and elegant face, with a serious look on her face.

The general quickly lowered his head and responded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I understand."

The stunning woman said softly: "Hurry."

Seeing the general nodding his head like garlic, the woman nodded and walked lightly towards the heavily guarded alleyway, escorted by a large number of policemen.

Not long after.

Heavy snow fell from the sky, covering up all traces.

Early morning, Wicker Street.

The heavy snowfall in the sky had stopped, and everywhere was covered with snow. Shen Lie hurriedly walked out of the alley with his arms folded and his body bent.

When passing by the alley, he bought two Huo Shao. Shen Lie walked and ate while hiding among the crowd.

After walking quickly through several streets, Shen Lie arrived at the entrance of an alley a few streets away. He raised his head and looked calmly at a teahouse opposite.

This teahouse is famous far and wide, and is where people from the Zaoyi Gang gather.

It looks like a teahouse, but in fact the backyard is a gambling house. At the open door, vicious people come in and out from time to time.

Shen Lie stamped his feet, pulled up his collar, touched the fire seal in his arms, a can of lamp oil bought from the grocery store, and touched an iron drill stuck to his waist.

It's urgent.

Shen Lie planned not to do anything but to sneak into this gambling house and kill a few people, and then set a fire to get rid of the scourge that had been harming the neighbors in Goulan Hutong for many years.

Then……

Shen Lie had already thought of an escape route. After finishing this important task, he planned to leave the city quickly and go to the northern frontier to become a bandit.

After he has settled down, he will think of a way to take Yun'er out of the city.

The ruthlessness of the black boxers in those years has become stronger. Shen Lie's eyes flashed with a cold light. So what if he fell out of grass and became a bandit? What if he became a mountain king?

With his skill and knowledge, it would be a way out to go to the frontier to find a bigger cottage to take refuge in, drink from a big bowl, and eat large pieces of meat.

Gritting his teeth, Shen Lie lowered his head and walked quickly through the snow-covered streets towards the lair of the Zaoyi Gang, secretly holding the hammer in his arms tightly.

But at this moment.

Suddenly, at the end of the long street, someone shouted, and there was the sound of horse hooves and footsteps. Shen Lie was stunned and followed the pedestrians on the road to avoid it.

Shen Lie had just stepped to the side of the road when he saw a group of cavalry leading a large number of soldiers and policemen from the Five Cities Army and Horses Division, swarming over.

The leader, wearing the official uniform of a sixth-grade military general, dismounted in front of the wine shop, looked at the lair of the Zaoyi Gang, and shouted in a low voice: "Surrounded!"

"Don't let anyone go!"

Following the general's order, the soldiers showed their crossbows and swords, and the government officials showed their iron rulers, blocked the front and back doors of the wine shop, and rushed in with murderous intent.

Suddenly, there were shouts in the restaurant.

"The Five Cities Military and Horse Department is handling the case!"

Soon, there were several screams and fierce fighting sounds in the wine shop.

Shen Lie stood on the street outside the wine shop, standing with a large number of pedestrians who came to watch the excitement. His eyes widened and doubts arose in his heart.

What is going on?

At this time, there was already a commotion inside and outside the wine shop. Pedestrians, vendors, and people from all walks of life gathered around, pointing towards the raided lair of the Zaoyi Gang.

Discussions came and went.

"What's going on here?"

"I don't know."

Amid whispers, murderous officers, soldiers, and government officials blocked the front and back doors, and soon overthrew the Zaoyi Gang's lair.

Within a quarter of an hour, there was a large number of Zaoyi gang members, who were pushed, kicked and beaten by the soldiers.

After a while, the soldiers actually dragged out several more corpses, with blood stains dripping on the white snow, which was shocking.

Immediately there was a burst of exclamation: "Oh my dear mother."

"Dead people!"

At this point, Shen Lie also understood that the Zaoyi Gang had been raided by the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, and it seemed that they had been uprooted.

Seeing several luxuriously dressed Wuyi Gang leaders being tied up and pushed out by the soldiers, Shen Lie quickly lowered his head and backed away.

Then he quickly left the place and walked all the way to the alley. Shen Lie couldn't help but look back and touched his head in confusion.

A strange thought came to mind.

"What a coincidence."

With the Wuyi Gang being raided, a scourge that had plagued Willow Street for many years was gone, and the sharp sword hanging over Shen Lie's head was also gone.

The big crisis on him was resolved in this way. I don't know if it was luck or...

"That's not right."

As Shen Lie walked, he murmured to himself: "How can there be such a coincidence in the world?"

Shen Lie thought and pondered, and had a vague feeling in his heart. He felt that the Zaoyi Gang had probably offended some big shot.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and Shen Lie stopped. The image of a stunning woman wearing a white fur and full of bookishness appeared in his mind.

"Could it be...that it's her?"

Once this idea pops up, it cannot be contained.

Shen Lie was stunned on the street for a long time, and couldn't help but carefully reflect on the woman's words and deeds. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it became.

Could it be that she really asked people to raid the Zaoyi Gang?

But.

"why?"

Could it be that she was moved by her heartfelt words, so she came to help?

This matter was too strange. With a trace of doubt in his heart, Shen Lie decided to hide in the city for a few days and wait and see before making any plans.

Two days later.

Another night has fallen.

Shen Lie, who had been hiding in the city for two days, finally confirmed one thing. The Zaoyi Gang was really uprooted by the government, and hundreds of gang members, as well as several of their leaders, were imprisoned.

Moreover, the Yamen did not post a wanted notice to arrest him, the villain who broke into houses, robbed houses, and took hostages. Now Shen Lie could finally be sure.

This matter has something to do with that stunning woman!

"This woman...hiss."

Shen Lie couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and muttered, this woman is not only stunningly beautiful, kind-hearted, and extremely smart, but also has a really scary background.

One word from her!

The military commanders of the five cities all had to do their jobs obediently, but just a Zaoyi gang was crushed to death like an ant in front of her!
