The door shaft rotated in the door frame, and the door of the martial arts hall was slowly opened by Doubao.
"Sister Doubao."
Jia Youcai, who was supporting his mother, said hello, and then turned around and said respectfully: "Master Mu, sir."
When there are no outsiders, Jia Youcai always calls Jason Mu Ye, and only when there are outsiders will he formally call him the owner of the hall.
As for Li Deshang’s appearance?
Jia Youcai was not surprised.
Jia Youcai could identify the carriage parked outside the door whose carriage it belonged to at a glance.
"There is a rat in the house, and I have to be on duty at night. I have no choice but to ask Sister Doubao and Master Mu to help me take care of my mother."
Jia Youcai said, with pleading in his eyes.
"Are there rats?"
"That can't be underestimated."
"Jia Youcai, after you finish your duty tonight, take some people to have a look."
Li Deshang lied for his subordinates.
The chief officer of this mountain city really values Jia Youcai very much now.
Although Jia Youcai usually seems unreliable, he stepped forward several times at critical moments, which was enough for Li Deshang to understand that this was someone he could rely on, and could even be his confidant.
Therefore, not only did he promote Jia Youcai out of the norm, but he also urged Jia Youcai to learn martial arts.
At Jia Youcai's age, it's nonsense to think of any heights he wants to achieve in his martial arts studies. There are no 'big medicines' to change his physique, and it is estimated that if he develops 'muscles', he will be considered to have a good talent.
However, being able to become a warrior is better than not being able to do anything at all.
"Yes, sir."
Jia Youcai raised his hand with one hand.
Then, he looked at Jason again.
Jason's eyes first glanced at the Pu Dao where the blood stains had not been completely removed, and then he sensed it with his sense of death.
Just killed someone?
Or two?
"Doubao, go make arrangements with the old lady."
Jason ordered.
"Madam, come with me."
Doubao nodded and helped Mr. Li walk towards the martial arts gym.
Seeing his mother enter the martial arts gym, Jia Youcai gratefully bowed his hands to Jason and Li Deshang.
"Don't say any kind words yet."
"what happened?"
Li Deshang waved his hand and asked in a lowered voice.
"The thing is like this..."
Jia Youcai immediately relayed it.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Deshang's face became serious.
"Are they the remnants of the 'Pursuant Rebirth Cult'?"
"still……"
"The original six major households in the city?"
The voice of the mountain city official was low and cold.
Whether it is the former or the latter, they are already enemies to Li Deshang.
The kind that never stops.
He had never thought about a reward at first, but he didn't expect these people to show up so quickly and dare to attack his people.
Jason also frowned slightly.
He is now basically certain that the original six major households of 'Shancheng' were responsible for the fact that Jia Youcai's wife was almost kidnapped, because it was such a coincidence that he had just rejected Xu Dashan's intercession from Hongxiangfang.
Jia Youcai's mother almost had an accident that night, and Jia Youcai was still involved in the whole process.
only……
Are these big players too brave?
Or do you have anything to rely on?
Jason raised his eyes and looked at Li Deshang, and Li Deshang happened to also look at Jason.
The two looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.
"I'll go back and order all the soldiers to surround the houses of the big families first."
"Jia Youcai, send a team of people straight to Li Laizi's place and arrest him alive."
Li Deshang didn't hide anything and said directly.
"Yes, sir."
Jia Youcai cupped his hands and walked towards the carriage.
A few seconds later, the government officer who was driving the car and several police officers acting as bodyguards ran towards the outside of Wuguan Street.
Looking at his subordinates leaving, Li Deshang turned around and bowed to Jason.
"If anything happens in the future, I will have to rely on you, Brother Mu."
"I'm really grateful to Brother Mu."
"Brother Yu didn't want to say such words at first, but he felt that he didn't know what to do if he didn't say it, so Brother Yu said it again."
Li Deshang said and bowed again.
Li Deshang knew what happened in the martial arts hall today.
He was filled with gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
Because of this, I feel even more guilty.
Because he thought he didn't help Jason, but Jason helped him again and again.
Just like this moment.
The guilt and gratitude in the heart of this mountain city official were intertwined, leaving him not knowing what to do.
Originally, I wanted to bury my gratitude deep in my heart.
But now, I am neither vomiting nor unhappy.
"When you're done, treat me to dinner."
Jason said this.
Li Deshang, who was conflicted in his heart just a moment ago and didn't know what to do, immediately nodded and said, "No problem, even if I'm trying to sell iron, I still want to treat Brother Mu to dinner."
After saying that, Li Deshang felt pain in his face.
Inviting Brother Mu to dinner is really a pain in the ass.
At least his small treasury cannot be saved.
Some of these quietly accumulated items also have to be sold.
But, he doesn't regret it.
Even if he was forced to wash dishes in Zuixianlou, he would not regret it.
This in itself is what he owes to his brother Mu.
Looking at Li Deshang with a pained face, Jason smiled.
The reason why he is willing to continue to cooperate with Li Deshang, apart from Li Deshang's abiding by his duties, is because of his character - as long as he owes something to others, Li Deshang will definitely repay it, even if it hurts his body or his heart.
Is there anything better than a partner who doesn’t default on your business?
Naturally, he is one who pays back double the amount he owes.
Li Deshang is such a person.
"Brother Gou Sheng, would you like to go to Hongxiangfang with me?"
Jason invited.
"certainly."
Li Deshang smiled.
Although the matter at hand cannot be determined whether it has anything to do with Hongxiangfang, but since the old owner of Hongxiangfang acted as a lobbyist, the other party may know something about this matter.
The carriage stayed where it was.
Jason and Li Deshang walked side by side.
Jia Youcai wiped the knife clean and followed behind.
Hongxiangfang is also on Wuguan Street. It doesn’t take much time to walk from Mushi Martial Arts School to Hongxiangfang.
Moreover, it seems that because Xu Dashan just came back today, the business in Hongxiangfang Hidden Market is not open. At this time, outside the lantern in front of the door, there is only a little candlelight inside.
Bang, bang bang!
Jia Youcai knocked on the door and announced his identity.
After a while, Xu Dashan personally greeted him.
The three Jasons were brought into the living room, and tea and pastries were quickly served.
"Master Li, Master Mu, do you know why you two are visiting us late at night?"
Xu Dashan asked.
His eyes kept looking at Li Deshang and Jason, guessing their intentions.
Neither Jason nor Li Deshang spoke, and the latter just said lightly.
"Jia Youcai, tell Mr. Xu what just happened."
Jia Youcai immediately stood up and preached in detail.
Halfway through Jia Youcai's speech, Xu Dashan broke out in cold sweat on his back.
asshole!
Damn it!
The old boss cursed loudly in his heart.
He had just made a lot of guesses as to what was worthy of Jason and Li Deshang coming to his place together.
However, I never expected this to be the case.
He never thought that the six major households in the city who were begging him to come forward would do such a thing, but at this time, Xu Dashan could no longer care so much.
"Sorry, Jia Baotou."
Xu Dashan first bowed to Jia Youcai, and then bowed to Li Deshang and said: "Master Li, please atone for your sins. I have nothing to do with this matter."
Jia Youcai ducked to the side to avoid such a salute.
He has a wife, and he will never accept a gift from someone who is about the same age as his wife.
He is not afraid of losing his life.
What I'm afraid of is that I will be implicated.
Li Deshang sat there without moving.
He accepted Xu Dashan's salute as the chief officer of "Mountain City".
"Then tell me the whole story."
Li Deshang sat there and looked at Xu Dashan.
"I have received some news before, saying that the 'Pursuant Religion' has been causing a lot of trouble recently, so I plan to temporarily take refuge in the state capital. Then, when I come back, you will clean up the world. I agree with this, but the six major households in the city used to
I have a good relationship with the old man, and there are also a few people who know the truth. When he came to beg, the old man felt compassion and couldn't help but mention it to the master of the Mu Pavilion."
"That's the whole story. The old man just felt soft-hearted for a moment. There was absolutely no interest involved, nor was there any promise."
Xu Dashan said righteously.
Li Deshang looked at Xu Dashan, basically not believing a word of what the old owner of Hongxiangfang said.
What compassion.
What a moment of weakness.
Nothing of benefit.
It must have been that the six major households in the city had promised huge benefits, and then the old owner of Hongxiangfang couldn't help being moved, so he took the risk.
Moreover, the other party is quite cautious.
Instead of looking for him, he looked for his brother Mu.
Go to him, and if you refuse, there will be no room for turning back.
Brother Mu who came to him, even if he was rejected, he still raised the price.
What a sophisticated person.
Doing things can be said to be watertight.
Just for tonight...
Li Deshang's palm gently hit the armrest of the chair several times, while his eyes were fixed on Xu Dashan.
"I don't know anything about Jia Baotou and Jia Baotou's mother."
"This should be the decision of those big households. They want to get back what they lost, but they don't dare to go too far, so... they chose Jia Baotou as the target."
Xu Dashan said and bowed to Jia Youcai apologetically again.
Jia Youcai dodged again.
Xu Dashan wanted to pay his respects again, but was interrupted by Li Deshang.
The chief officer of the 'Mountain City' sneered and said: "Don't you dare to go too far? It's just that I have been waiting in the yamen for a long time and it's hard to make a move. Brother Mu is very skilled in martial arts, so they don't dare to make a move at all. This
I just chose Jia Youcai, hey!"
Speaking of this, Li Deshang sneered again.
In his heart, murderous intent suddenly arose.
He originally planned to let the rest of the big families in the city escape, but now it seems that he is still soft-hearted.
The weeds are not burned out, but they grow again when the spring breeze blows!
It must be done by cutting off the roots!
Li Deshang clenched his fists in his sleeves and made a decision in his heart.
Xu Dashan looked at Li Deshang. Although he did not see the clenched fists under his sleeves, he could clearly see the coldness flashing in Li Deshang's eyes, and he suddenly sighed secretly in his heart.
He knew that the six major households in the city were really doomed this time.
If there was a glimmer of hope before, now it is really a dead end.
'Li Deshang has such a murderous intention!'
'Why didn't you see it before?'
'Obviously he is a scholar.'
Just when Xu Dashan was sighing, Jason, who had never spoken, suddenly asked.
"Is the 'Pursuant Religion' making a big fuss?"
"Yes, the 'Pursuant Rebirth Cult' is not just in the 'mountain city', there are also believers in the state capital, and it is even rumored that there are also believers in the northern capital and the capital of Shu."
"They form a secret society and use a unified secret language. It is difficult for outsiders to intervene. Even if they want to conduct a secret investigation, it is difficult. The empire has sent many spies, but they all left without returning."
"Especially the altar masters in various prefectures, each one is a highly skilled person in martial arts."
"And, and..."
Xu Dashan, who had always been happy, suddenly stuttered.
"what else?"
Li Deshang asked.
Xu Dashan did not speak immediately, but stood up and closed the door of the hall, then returned to the three of them and lowered his voice and said: "There is also the 'God Envoy'!"
"Angel of God?"
This was the first time Li Deshang heard this term.
Jia Youcai was even more confused. He didn't even know that the Rebirth Cult existed in the state capital. He only thought that the Rebirth Cult was a cult that had arisen near the Mountain City.
Jason, on the other hand, looked calm.
Even, there is a faint expectation.
After all, the taste of [Blood Mist Evil Qi Beads] is pretty good.
"Yes, divine envoys are rumored to come and go without a trace, and can take people's lives without anyone noticing - some people have said that the reason why all the spies sent by the empire never return is because of these divine envoys!
"
Xu Dashan said in a voice that only a few people could hear.
"These?"
"There is more than one divine messenger?"
Li Deshang grasped the key words.
"right!"
"According to some information collected by our Hongxiangfang, there are at least four divine envoys of the Rebirth Cult. This is just what we have collected. As for whether there are more, I cannot be sure."
Xu Dashan said truthfully.
Moreover, without waiting for Li Deshang to ask further questions, he added.
"These four divine envoys are three men and one woman. Their specific ages cannot be confirmed, but they are all ruthless people."
"Except for the woman who didn't show any specific strength, one of the three male divine envoys can spit out flames and melt gold into iron, while the other can send frost flying between his fists and feet, turning living people into frost in an instant.
The remaining one is the most difficult to deal with. Not only is he invisible, but he can also steal people's souls and kill people invisible."
"The four of them have never appeared at the same time."
"But only one person came out at a time, and it stirred up a lot of wind and rain, which made people frightened."
Xu Dashan said, Li Deshang frowned.
He had never heard of any divine messenger.
But what Xu Dashan said in front of him was already a bit unbelievable to him.
Breathing flames from his mouth, melting gold and iron.
Frost is flying between the fists and feet, and the living person is frozen.
There are also soul-stealing and invisible killings.
Is this something that even the most accomplished warriors of ‘skin training’ are rumored to be unable to do?
Perhaps in the legend, warriors can reach a higher level?
But it’s impossible, right?
Is there such a master in the ‘Pursuant Rebirth Cult’?
Li Deshang was thinking deeply, and his face became serious again.
He thought he had overestimated the 'Pursuance of the Past', but unexpectedly he underestimated it.
‘We must write to the state government office again.’
'Only guard against death!'
Li Deshang thought to himself.
Jason suddenly realized that the divine envoy who carried the [Blood Mist Evil Qi Bead] before was probably the most difficult one among the so-called three male divine envoys.
‘I don’t know what ‘food’ the remaining three divine envoys will bring.’
Jason guessed what the food would taste like.
His eyes were looking outside the hall.
Tread, step.
There was a sound of rapid running, and a policeman ran in rolling and crawling.
"Sir, boss, Master Mu, something serious has happened!"
"Dead, all dead!"
"And, and..."
The detective said with a cry.
His voice was stammering and he couldn't speak fully. He was obviously frightened.
With a sudden movement, the four people present stood up.
"Calm down, what happened?"
Jia Youcai said to his subordinates.
"Boss, all the six families that your Excellency asked us to surround are dead!"
"And, and..."
"Come with me and you'll know it once you see it."
The detective glanced at Jason in fear as he spoke. Then, he didn't dare to speak at all and just led the way.
Jason was the first to follow.
There was no malice or death in this agent's body, but his heart was beating extremely fast. Coupled with the panic on his face and the look in his eyes just now, it was enough to show that the other party had seen something terrible.
Moreover, this thing is related to him.
Li Deshang and Jia Youcai followed without hesitation.
Xu Dashan hesitated for a moment before following him.
He doesn't want to go.
However, Xu Dashan knew very well that he was now involved.
If you go there, you can still take some initiative.
If you do nothing and just wait here, you will be passive in the true sense.
As a relatively successful businessman, Xu Dashan is very aware of the importance of taking the initiative.
He raised his hand and waved towards the follower.
Immediately, a dozen strong men with sticks came out and divided into two teams. One team guarded Hongxiangfang, and the other team followed Xu Dashan.
Li Deshang and Jia Youcai glanced at him but said nothing.
What does Hongxiangfang do? They both know you.
It is natural to have these manpower.
As for bringing some?
I can understand that too.
Anyway, since Mubai is here, they don't have to worry.
Moreover, they are not empty.
A team of twenty musketeers followed the carriage out of Wuguan Street. The men with sticks followed behind. In front of them was a team of five policemen holding torches high.
Jia Youcai was driving, and sitting in the car were Jason, Li Deshang and Xu Dashan.
Without any obstacles along the way, the group arrived at the mansion of the Zhang family, a wealthy family in the city.
Come on, the government officials will surround this place layer by layer.
When he saw Jason coming down from the carriage, just like the previous policeman, fear flashed in his eyes.
Jason frowned.
Without stopping, he walked straight into the mansion.
Corpse!
From the cloister to the hall, there are corpses everywhere!
A corpse that was suddenly blown up!
And on the wall next to the hanging flower door of the second courtyard, there are five big characters written in blood -
