As the nine buckets said, Li Mi went to investigate first, and it was true that he would not startle the snake, but Li Mi would also be trapped inside, although Asakusa Kaoru and others might not dare to kill Li Mi, but maybe they would take Li Mi hostage to escape, which was a little bad.

Jian Dingyong knew that Li Mi was capable and talented, if he wasn't worried that Chen Heguang and Song Zhiwei would transfer Li Mi to the Torture Hall sooner or later, he would also want to cultivate Li Mi with his heart, after all, the county government also needs a talent like Li Mi.

But in any case, the benefits that Li Mi brought to the county government were obvious, and he couldn't see Li Mi taking this risk.

"Let's think of another way......

Li Mi also knew Jian Dingyong's concerns, but he shook his head and said, "It's okay, they won't do anything to me, adults just need to respond in time." ”

This is not because Li Mi is blindly confident, but because of this situation, it is the best strategy for him to enter and negotiate.

Because Li Mi also considered an extremely important point, that is, in addition to the red-haired ghosts such as Emmanuer, as well as Kaoru Asakusa, it is very likely that there is also a group of robbers who kill officials and rob prisons!

If they are forcibly arrested, it is just a matter of startling the grass and snakes, and these desperate Japanese thugs, once they have the heart to die and break the net, they are afraid that they will be slashed and killed everywhere!

Now is the most lively time at night, the same hall is surrounded by restaurants, restaurants, Goulan, Washe, Qinlou, Chu Restaurant, the street is even more crowded, there are men, women and children in the night market, really want to rush out of a group of Japanese thugs, but I don't know how many innocent civilians to hack to death!

"My lord, if those thugs are cornered, holding on to the heart of burning jade, I am afraid that these people will all suffer from the pond fish, although the villain is not talented, he may not be able to surrender without a fight, but he can minimize the casualties, how can he not try?"

Li Mi explained all the reasons, and Jiu Bucket only felt that Li Mi was a big fool, but Jian Dingyong was really moved.

He is a parent official, although he is not honest and honest and loves the people like a son, but he is not a corrupt official with a bad heart, he just has a weak heart.

Li Mi is a head catcher, but he can consider the overall situation, be far-sighted, willing to contribute, and have such a noble heart and broad mind, how can he not be moved?

It is no wonder that Chen Heguang and Song Zhiwei value Li Mi so much, that is, Wu Weizhong wants to accept him as an apprentice, and Yuan Keli and Xiang Mu and others don't need to say it.

Jian Dingyong just thought that Li Mi was lucky at first, because when Li Mi wanted to intervene in Zhang's case, he even looked down on Li Mi.

At this time, he realized that people like Li Mi were peaceful and close, and he might feel ordinary at first, but the more he came into contact, the more he was surprised!

Li Mi said everything about this, and Jian Dingyong no longer insisted, and nodded at Li Mi: "Be careful!" ”

Li Mi was not hypocritical, hugged his fists, and walked forward with the nine buckets, watching Li Mi gradually disappear into the crowd, and those catchers scattered in all directions and acted separately.

But at this time, their mood was completely different, because Li Mi's back with a cloth bag and a knife lingered in their hearts.

They were nothing more than dogs in the prosperous era, and although the Japanese were often in turmoil, the most turbulent period was ten years ago, when Suzhou was an important city, and even at that time, there was no major war.

They had lived so long that they had never seen a hero.

When Li Mi's back was fixed in their hearts, these philistine catchers, these tolerance people who were thinking about fishing for oil and water all day long, suddenly felt a little ashamed, but they couldn't suppress the violent beating of their hearts.

Perhaps, this is the long-lost hero!

Li Mi didn't think about this, he walked with the nine buckets, and gradually approached the same hall.

At this time, the missionaries did not dare to preach in the open and bright, and the imperial court did not allow them to do so, let alone let them build Western-style churches.

Missionaries such as Guo Jujing and Luo Ruwang built a Western-style church like the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Nanjing, which was also seven or eight years later, and after the church was built, trouble soon came to the door.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, participated in the rebel army of the White Lotus Sect earlier, and the Red Turban Uprising initiated by Han Shantong, Liu Futong and Xu Shouhui and others gradually seized the world.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was very aware of the power of religion, so when he won the world, he began to strictly spread all forms of sects, and the White Lotus Sect was strictly forbidden.

In the early Ming Dynasty, whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang's Hongwu period or Zhu Di's Yongle period, Sichuan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Shandong and other places, I don't know how many White Lotus riots broke out.

Moreover, the White Lotus Sect has spawned thousands of small sects, and the gods they believe in are extremely complex, such as the Jade Emperor, the Yama Dizang, the Childless Old Mother and Maitreya, and so on.

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin is the world of the yellow robe, so he sent the generals to hell, making the civil officials of the Song Dynasty the most noble and the military generals the most humble, because he was afraid that others would stage the yellow robe again and take away the Zhao family.

And Zhu Yuanzhang participated in the peasant uprising, and the first thing to guard against is naturally a folk religious community such as the White Lotus Sect.

Therefore, the foreign missionaries also took advantage of it, and without the permission of the imperial court, they could only spread the doctrine on a small scale, through those literati and scholars who had even converted to God, and spread it to the common people.

Of course, the literati and doctors are the backbone, and they can influence the common people downward, and they can also work hard in the court, hoping to get the right to preach as soon as possible.

In this respect, the missionaries were also very wise.

There is no open preaching in the same church, let alone a decent church, and this small building is also a typical Suzhou style, with black tiles and white walls, beautiful as ink.

The closer he got to it, the calmer Li Mi became, and the nine barrels were a little incomprehensible.

"How dare you wander around in this dogskin? Aren't you afraid to scare away those thieves? ”

Li Mi just sighed and said to the nine buckets: "Shicai, can you see how many people are around Jian Dingyong?" ”

Jiu Bucket knew that Li Mi was a capable person, and he had seen it with his own eyes, so he thought that Li Mi had the heart to test him, so he closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and then opened his eyes and said, "It's twenty-six." ”

Li Miben just asked, but he didn't expect this little fat man to be right!

Li Mi knew that Jiu Bucket was not a stupid person, if he was smart, he was more than Qi Changkong, but he didn't expect his observation to be so keen, if it were someone else, who would notice this?

Li Mi nodded and said: "You're right, it's exactly twenty-six, and the county government is not enough at the moment, and this is already all the available manpower that the county government can muster......"

As soon as Li Mi said this, Jiu Bucket couldn't help but suddenly say: "No wonder no one patrols the streets tonight......"

Speaking of this, he seemed to have grasped Li Mi's train of thought, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he looked at Li Mi.

Li Mi patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "You little fat man is really smart!" ”

"Because of the concentration of manpower, there is no patrol to parade the streets, if you were Kaoru Asakusa's mother-in-law, would you be vigilant? It's too much, and it makes sense for me to go out on the streets. ”

As soon as Li Mi said this, the nine buckets were suddenly stunned, but Li Mi took out his cigarette gun at this time, but the nine barrels laughed.

"I thought you were fearless, but you also know how to be afraid, hahaha!"

Looking at the nine barrels of schadenfreude, Li Mi also gave him a blank look, but he was indeed a little nervous in his heart.

The danger here is natural, it would be a lie to say that he is not nervous, but what Li Mi is thinking about is not his own safety, he has the Qi family knife, and the old antique gun, Kaoru Asakusa is seriously injured, and he is not afraid of fighting.

Even if he can't beat him, Li Mi's life will not be in danger, because Kaoru Asakusa will take him hostage at most.

What Li Mi is worried about is that once these people are cornered, as he thought, these gangsters rush out and cut people all over the street, that is the crime.

So after walking near the Tongzai Hall, Li Mi suddenly changed his mind and said to Jiu Bucket: "Is there a way to sneak in first?" If you can capture the thief and capture the king first, and control Kaoru Asakusa, the others will not be afraid, so they can only be captured obediently......"

Nine buckets smiled and said, "I'll just say that our wronged boss won't be so stupid, come with me!" ”

Li Mi also smiled, knocked out the cigarette gun, and followed the nine barrels around to the back of the same hall.

The alley is so dimly lit that it looks like a tunnel in the middle of a busy city, and there is a sense of silence, with the occasional dog barking or two, but the sound of people buzzing in your ears.

The same hall is a large courtyard, surrounded by walls, in the middle is the main building, there are many side rooms before and after the main building, with a garden at the back, it was originally a manor bought by Suzhou during the Jiajing period, in the city of Suzhou, where every inch of land is valuable, and it is a downtown area, the value of this mansion can be imagined.

Li Mi followed the nine buckets over the wall and entered, don't see that this little fat dun has gained a lot of weight, but his legs and feet seem to be more neat.

After passing through the garden, they came to the back of the main building, where there were many rooms to the left and right, only some of them were lit, and the others were dark and quiet.

Although Li Mi had smoked and suppressed his fright earlier, his heart was still beating unconsciously, and the little fat man no longer talked much, and led Li Mi to the shrine behind the main building.

"What did you bring me here for?" Li Mi is looking for Kaoru Asakusa, I really don't understand why Nine Barrels brought him to the shrine, after all, Li Mi still knows a lot about Catholicism, their shrine is very simple, except for crosses and candlesticks, there are no strange things.

However, Jiu Bucket said in a low voice: "Brother has also seen a lot of red-haired ghosts chattering in Yaxing, and I also know what their bodhisattva looks like, but this red-haired ghost is not authentic, it is all evil, you can see it at a glance yourself!" ”

Li Mi had long speculated that this Emmanuel was not an orthodox preacher, or even an impostor, and now that he heard Jiu Bucket say this, he was also curious in his heart, if he could figure out the details of this Emmanuel, he would have confidence when he encountered it, and Li Mi pushed open a little crack in the door and dodged into the temple.

There was a candlestick lit in the temple, and although the candlelight was dim, Li Mi couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the vision!
