Chapter 222: Coming one after another, the suppressed murderous intention
In the astonished gazes of everyone in Huang An, Li Jie suddenly stood up.
He raised his head slightly and laughed, then raised his legs and walked towards the entrance of the main hall.
"I happened to bring some money today. Mr. Huang can use this money to send people to buy some. I won't come back until I get drunk tonight."
As he spoke, he actually raised his legs and walked towards a wooden box.
What he said was not a joke, but he took it seriously.
Everyone in Huang An looked surprised, even Luo Feiyao turned around and looked over.
This person, with such a low emotional intelligence, has really served as a county captain for so many years?
Can you still pass the exam?
How did he survive in the extremely complicated officialdom?
Everyone, including Huang An, felt incredible about this.
But soon, they figured it out.
The grassroots management of the county seat is not the center of the imperial court, nor the imperial agencies in Youzhou.
The yamen in the county can also accommodate stupid officials.
The Li family, a local snake, protected him from wind and rain.
This idiot was protected very well by the Li family.
The county captain of Yicheng is such a brainless thing.
Now it seems that the number of idiots among people from aristocratic families cannot be underestimated.
Chen Yu's eyes indicated that he asked Huang An if he should stop Li Jie Meng Lang's behavior.
Huang An paused for a moment and was about to shake his head and say no.
Suddenly, his ears moved.
Huang An heard a burst of slightly hasty footsteps coming from a distance.
At the same time, Chen Yu and the others also discovered it.
Everyone turned their heads and looked towards the entrance of the main hall.
Judging from the frequency and pitch of the footsteps, it should be the guard captain guarding the door.
Is he here to report a message?
Did someone come to the door again?
Huang An glanced at Li Jie, who had already opened the wooden box and was about to take out two large ingots of silver.
"If you are short of money, my Li family has it. Mr. Huang, please don't be polite."
Li Jie's performance was much worse than what Huang An heard about.
His powers of observation are too weak, and his ability to observe words and emotions is not much worse than those primary school students in his hometown.
Even Luo Feiyao, who had always had an expression on his face, frowned uncontrollably at this moment.
Li Jie's eyes were captivated by the Li family's previously lofty status in Feng'an City and the power he had been given by the imperial court.
Likewise, it also eliminated his normal thinking ability.
So much so that the way he behaves now is so brainless.
With a "click" sound, the guard captain appeared at the door of the main hall.
His arrival aroused everyone's curiosity.
Even Li Jie, who was holding the silver and preparing to speak to Huang An, paused his movements at this moment.
The guard captain did not stop, stepped directly into the hall, hugged Huang An with a fist, bowed slightly and said:
"Master Huang, the Prime Minister of Lishui County is asking for an audience outside the martial arts hall!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before he could continue speaking or Huang An gave instructions, Li Jie's eyes suddenly lit up and then darkened again.
There were beads of sweat on his forehead. He seemed to be afraid of his cousin's sudden arrival.
Huang An inadvertently glanced around and noticed something unusual about him.
He rolled his eyes, thinking deeply.
He knew that no matter how stupid the Li family was, they would not let this brainless Li Jie come.
He must have made his own decisions and secretly brought three boxes. No wonder there were so few wooden boxes.
Li Jie suddenly spoke.
The person he spoke to was none other than Huang An.
"Huang, Mr. Huang, I'll give the silver to you first. I heard that there will be a banquet the day after tomorrow, I..."
Party the day after tomorrow?
He actually figured it out so quickly, it seems his ability is not too bad.
Huang An's eyebrows flashed and he suddenly interrupted Li Jie's words. He took two steps forward, grabbed Li Jie's arm, and then said with a smile:
"Since Mr. Li, the county magistrate, has arrived, please invite him in! Hurry up!"
He deliberately emphasized the word "hurry up", obviously instructing the guard captain not to delay and bring Li Jie over directly.
"Yes, Mr. Huang!"
The guard captain was much smarter than Li Jie. He understood the meaning of Huang An's words, nodded to him, turned around and left quickly.
After sending the guard captain away, Huang An did not let go of Li Jie's hand. He stared at Li Jie's old face and Huang An suddenly laughed.
"Sir, please wait a moment. I believe your cousin Mr. Li Shui will be happy to meet you here. How can we talk about your Li family's affairs separately? Haha!"
After Huang An said that, he laughed first.
In just a short moment, he already understood that Li Jie came here without telling Li Shui.
At least, Li Shui didn't know that he came to visit him now.
In this case, Huang Anle has to watch the excitement of the Li family.
It would be interesting if Li Shui and Li Jie met here and had a conflict.
"This, this, Mr. Huang!"
Li Jie suddenly looked panicked and was about to open his grabbed arm.
He didn't want to see his cousin here, at least not now.
If his cousin found out that he had acted on his own initiative and came to visit him, he would probably not be able to eat anything when he returned home.
He wanted to hide, but Huang An grabbed his arm.
I pressed my lips tightly and tried hard, but they didn't move at all.
He tried harder, his face turned red, but he still couldn't break free.
Huang An's hands were like a pair of large iron pliers, with astonishing strength.
"you you......"
Li Jie glared at Huang An and struggled with his arms. After a while, he stopped struggling with a dejected look on his face until he heard familiar laughter.
He is also a warrior in the late Six Fu realm, but his strength is far from Huang An's.
Huang An looked at it with a smile, but didn't let go.
After all, according to the information he sent to inquire, since Li An, Li Wei and his son and other members of the Li family lost their lives, the entire Li family fell into the hands of Li Shui and Li Jie.
This pair of cousins jointly control everything in the Li family.
At the same time, the two brothers worked in the government office.
In the entire Feng'an City, the two brothers are the most powerful and powerful.
According to more detailed information, Li Shui and Li Jie are cousins. Li Jie has been Li Shui's follower since he was a child and obeys Li Shui's words.
Moreover, if he did something wrong, he would often be reprimanded by Li Shui.
Now it seems that it should be correct.
Soon, the sounds of footsteps and laughter became clearer and closer.
When the footsteps were already five or six steps outside the hall, Huang An felt relieved and put down Li Jie's arm.
Li Jie looked dejected. Knowing that he was blocked, he had no choice but to lower his face and remain silent.
With a "click" sound, a big foot stepped through the door of the main hall.
An old man in black and red brocade robes walked in.
He is about fifty years old, and he is not angry and assertive.
The old man's eyes quickly looked around the main hall, and his eyes paused for a moment on Huang An, Li Jie, and the three wooden boxes, especially the two large silver ingots held in Li Jie's arms.
After a short pause, he immediately cupped his fists at Huang An and said:
"Li Shui, the magistrate of Feng'an City County, pays homage to Mr. Huang!"
Subordinate?
County magistrate?
Huang An raised his eyebrows, interesting.
Deliberately lowering his profile and raising himself up, what does he want to do?
Use words to flatter yourself?
His eyes passed over the faces of Li Jie and Li Shui calmly. Huang An noticed that Li Jie lowered his head slightly, as if he didn't want to face Li Shui.
With a flash of his eyes, Huang An focused his attention on Li Shui again, stretched out his hand and said:
"Master Li, your words are serious, please take a seat quickly!"
Li Shui thanked him and did not sit down first. Instead, he directed his men to place a large number of large boxes neatly on both sides of the entrance to the main hall.
Huang An did not stop his actions, but just watched with a smile.
He visually estimated that the number of these boxes was no less than twenty.
Judging from its weight, the amount of treasures and silver contained in it is probably no less than the amount of treasures and silver contained in the three families of Zhang Sui'an, Zhao Ji and Qian Zhong combined.
The wealth of the Li family is much greater than that of the Zhang, Qian, and Zhao families combined.
Another large amount of money was put into the account, and Chen Yu and others were excited to see it.
The more money they get, the more money they can get in the future.
They are happy to see this phenomenon of enemies taking the initiative to send warmth to their doorsteps.
Huang An's eyes also showed greed and passion at the right time.
But the gloom and murderous intent in his eyes could not be hidden no matter what.
The contents of the file, each word with blood, kept lingering in his mind.
I am constantly reminded that these pieces of silver are soaked with human lives and blood.
Today, the two brothers of the Li family, one is smiling, and the other is embarrassed and proud.
They are laughing, laughing that they control the money.
They are laughing, laughing that they can use money to exchange for the safety of their family and the capital to settle down and live.
They are laughing, this is the rule of this world.
The strong become stronger and the weak become weaker.
How shameful!
The coldness in Huang An's eyes became more and more obvious and could hardly be concealed.
Fortunately, his reason was still there and he turned his head slightly, pretending not to look at the two of them.
Fortunately, the two brothers of the Li family were focused on these wooden boxes and did not see Huang An's eyes, otherwise today may have some negative impact on Huang An's plan.
About two minutes later, all the wooden boxes were returned to their places.
Huang An's mood has basically recovered, and at least the expression on his face can be controlled again.
Li Shui directed his servants to open all the wooden boxes, and then explained to Huang An, who pretended to be confused:
"Young Master Huang and City Lord Zhao came all the way, so they must not be well prepared. These gadgets are worthless, so they were given to Master Zhao and Young Master Huang. I would like to thank Young Master Huang and City Lord Zhao on behalf of the people of Feng'an City.
"
This old thief's shamelessness and clever words rival those of Zhang Sui'an.
Compared to his brainless cousin Li Jie, he is countless times better.
At least Li Jie couldn't tell such nice lies.
Huang Anpi nodded with a smile. Facing Li Shui, he really couldn't pretend to smile sincerely.
His acting skills still need to be improved.
Glancing at Li Jie, who was standing aside as a mute, Huang An found that Li Jie also had a smile on his face.
Secretly suppressing the anger in his heart, Huang An invited in a deep voice:
"Two adults, please take a seat!"
Under Chen Yu's guidance, Li Shui sat down opposite Li Jie.
Both of them were sitting at the bottom of the table. Li Jie, who had come to his senses a little, was dissatisfied with the seating arrangement.
He planned to argue for a few words, but his cousin glared at him and he had to lower his head again and stopped.
Huang An saw the actions of the two brothers in his eyes.
Sure enough, Li Shui has the final say on everything about the Li family.
But, what happened to these two brothers?
Why don't we come together?
The difference in time between the two of them when they came to the martial arts school to meet him was less than twenty minutes. They almost went in front and back.
Huang An glanced at Li Jie who was smiling silly, and then glanced at Li Shui.
His eyes were thoughtful.
My previous guess must be correct. Li Jie, who is good at making decisions, came to the door. When Li Shui found out, he immediately chased after him with the belongings he had prepared.
