Chapter 224 Green forests gather, the wind and rain are coming
"The "Boning Knife" Zhu Butcher, the "Death-Eviscerating Ghost" Cui Yan, the "Evil Man" Zheng Zhi... what do these people want to do when they gather in Qing'an Mansion?" Li Mingzhu frowned slightly and murmured.
The names she mentioned all have great reputations in the world. They despise the government, ignore the law, and treat human life as nothing. However, their martial arts skills are extremely high and their traces are hard to find. It is difficult to catch them and put them to death.
.
Moreover, the imperial court and the Jianghu have always maintained a delicate balance. Not only do they not interfere with each other, but as long as these people do not rebel or do some extremely evil things, the imperial court will not make efforts to suppress them.
In the disputes between rivers and lakes, local governments actually turned a blind eye.
However, in recent days, countless people from the rivers, lakes and green forests have been gathering towards Qing'an Mansion. They have disappeared before entering the city. If they say that they have no agenda, she will never believe it.
She has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and is no stranger to the martial arts world. These people are extremely powerful. If they really want to get together and cause any trouble, they may have to use the city's garrison to quell it.
"In the past few days, I have asked my subordinates to keep an eye on their own jurisdiction. If there is any abnormal situation, report it to me immediately." She put down the official document in her hand and said calmly.
"Yes, boss, I will remind them right away."
Liu Yishou, who had been promoted to the captain of the third class of government officials, had a solemn expression on his face. He bowed his hand to her and immediately withdrew.
Only Li Mingzhu and a scribe were left in the hall.
It is impossible for those people to gather here for no reason, and their intentions must be understood. Xia uses force to suppress the ban. In fact, the court has always been uneasy about these people, especially for such large-scale events, and it pays even more attention to them.
tight.
Li Mingzhu looked thoughtful. After a moment, she spoke again: "Check what the purpose of those people is and report it to me as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, my subordinates will take care of it immediately."
When the young scribe heard this, he stood up, bowed and gave a salute, and then quickly disappeared.
…
…
More than ten miles away from Fucheng, there is a roadside teahouse beside the official road.
"Bah! I've been traveling all over the world for so long, and I've never had such a bad taste of tea!" At a table on the roadside, a bald man with a greasy face and a fleshy face spat out the tea in his mouth.
"Boy, get here here!"
After hearing the man's thunderous voice, the clerk with the white sweat towel on his shoulders hurried over and asked with a smile on his face: "What are your orders, sir?"
The bald man smashed the teapot on the table and said angrily: "Give me a pot of good tea. If you still fool me with the rubbish you just did, I will smash your shabby teahouse!"
"Sir, this is the most..." the waiter explained helplessly, but when he saw the man's face turned violently, he immediately swallowed the next words.
This teahouse was opened in the wild. In addition to the passersby and merchants, it received many people from the world. The waiter had been serving tea and water here for some time. Knowing their temperament, he broke up the small teahouse after a disagreement.
It's definitely more than just scaring him.
"Please wait a moment, sir, I will change it for you right away."
He said with a smile, but secretly complained in his heart, I am afraid that this time I have to take out the good tea that the shopkeeper kept at the bottom of the box, otherwise, I may not be able to pass the test of this evil guy.
There were many pedestrians resting in the teahouse, and many people frowned when they saw this, but it was best not to cause trouble when going out, and the bald man looked very difficult to offend, even if he was angry, he would not
Dare to speak.
The waiter quickly replaced him with a pot of good tea. This time, the bald man didn't make things difficult for him anymore. He cursed, "If you don't eat the toast, you'll be fined." After drinking the tea, he got up and walked outside.
The waiter's eyelids jumped when he saw this, and he hurriedly chased after him, "Sir, please wait a moment..."
"What else do you want?" The bald man turned around and stared at him.
"Sir, you haven't paid for the tea yet..." the waiter said timidly.
"Haha!" The bald man laughed a few times, pulled out two sharp boning knives from his back, and slammed them on the wooden table. The tips of the knives penetrated through. The evil man held the handles of the knives and said, "What did you just say?
I didn’t hear you clearly, please say it again?”
"No, it's nothing. Please go slowly, sir..." There was a cold light on the tip of the knife. The waiter shuddered all over and immediately hid far away, never daring to ask for tea money again.
The bald man took out the boning knife, laughed a few times, and walked away.
Inside the tea shed, a young man looked at his companions with dissatisfaction and asked, "Why did you stop me just now?"
The man next to him gave a bitter smile and said: "Junior brother, when you go out, you are not as careful as you are in the sect... You saw the two boning knives just now. If I guessed correctly, then
person is……"
After hearing what the man said, the young man's expression softened slightly, but he still glanced fiercely in the direction where the evil man left.
"The good martial arts world is turned into a mess by people like this. It's hateful, it's really hateful..."
"Shh, junior brother, please keep your voice down so that no one can hear you. It has not been peaceful here in the past few days..."
The man lowered his voice so that others could no longer hear him.
Somewhere on a mountain road.
The man with thin cheeks and gloomy face clapped his hands and said coldly: "With this little ability, you can learn from others to rob, be a bandit, or become a ghost..."
Lying on the ground in front of him were two notorious gangsters nearby, but at this time, the two men's necks were strangely twisted to one side, their faces looked frightened, and they had already stopped breathing.
Only two bangs were heard, and the man kicked the two bodies to the cliff. He looked left and right, and their figures quickly disappeared on the mountain road.
Elsewhere, by a stream, a figure hidden in the trees looked at several women washing clothes by the stream with evil eyes, and the light flashed in their eyes.
After a while, the ray of light receded again, and only a somewhat regretful voice was heard: "How can a mountain village girl be as tender as the rich girl in the city? Forget it, let's get down to business first."
The dwarf, who was short and fat with a fat head and big ears, glanced at the stream again, then withdrew his gaze with some nostalgia, turned around and walked deeper into the forest.

These days are extremely ordinary winter days for ordinary people in Anxi County. The gloomy weather has lasted for several days. Countless people are looking forward to the early arrival of the first snow this winter. The auspicious snow will herald a good harvest and good harvests in the coming year.
A good harvest, but after experiencing a drought, they could no longer withstand any hardships.
However, it was not easy for Minzhuang, the catcher of the Fuya County Government.
In the city, everyone cheered up and followed the instructions from above to search for suspicious people in the city, being extremely cautious.
Those who had the same mood were those in the political arena near Qing'an Prefecture. The news and rumors they occasionally heard from remote teahouses and restaurants made them feel vaguely that Qing'an Prefecture was not peaceful these days.
Already.
…
…
Liuye Village, which is isolated from the world, is as quiet and peaceful as ever. After the Ruyi sisters paid homage to their father, they stayed in the village for a day, and the next day, they returned to Fucheng with Li Yi.
"What my second uncle said makes sense, my husband should practice martial arts more." Liu Ruyi said with a smile after hearing Li Yi tell her what happened yesterday.
Li Yi curled his lips. The old man couldn't stand and talk without pain in his back. He usually practiced martial arts, but he just didn't make much progress. He still didn't feel the presence of true energy. He was helpless about this...
"Ruyi, take your brother-in-law and Xiaohuan back to the city first. I forgot something and need to go back to the village." On the way down the mountain, almost halfway through the journey, Liu Ruyi suddenly said.
Liu Ruyi turned around, looked at her and nodded.
Watching the three people disappear at a corner of the mountain road, Liu Ruyi turned around and looked at the low slope she had just passed.
