In this huge manor, there are only a few ghost-like old men playing chess, which is also a bit scary, but Zhen Mi is such a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and a muttering has caused the side eyes of these old men.

Seeing that these old men turned their faces to look at people, Zhen Mi also pursed his lips: "It turned out to be alive, and I thought they were all dead......

The long-bearded old man with his two fingers twisting the sunspot frowned, and said to Lu Jiamao: "Lu Jiamao, you dare to bring such a person here?" ”

Saying this, he just waved his hand lightly, and the chess piece came out of his hand and shot towards Zhen Mi!

Zhen Mi also walked the rivers and lakes, he knew that he was powerful, and he was about to dodge, but he saw Sima Hui stand in front, dance his sleeve robe in front of Zhen Mi, and roll up the chess piece.

"Words are words, hands are hands, don't be disrespectful to the old."

Sima Hui was also the leader of the great grandmaster, and several old men around the chessboard saw this hand, and they all stood up, as if the lights were lit up and activated in an instant.

"It's good to hold the lark in one hand, dare to ask Brother Taizun's surname, what is the sect?"

Sima Hui replied indifferently: "No name, no surname, no sect, just accompany the juniors to come over and play." ”

With that, Sima Hui threw the black piece back, but the piece landed on the chessboard, but instead of bounce up, it landed on the chessboard like glue, and that position was White's death hole!

When everyone saw this hand, they knew that Sima Hui had a good internal skill, otherwise they would not be able to control such a subtle force, and what was even more surprising was that Sima Hui did not look closely, but only looked at it from a distance, and only saw the general idea of the chess game, and he actually grabbed White's life at once!

This group of old men are malnourished one by one, they look like they are going to die, and it is impossible to go out even if they want to, playing chess is the biggest pastime.

However, Sima Hui saw through it at a glance, which shows how advanced his chess skills are!

With internal strength and active brains, how dare many old men underestimate such a person!

The old man who was in charge of the black stood up and glanced at Lu Jiamao, but Lu Jiamao didn't explain, so the old man spoke: "If you have something, just say it." ”

Only then did Lu Jiamao point to Li Mi and said to many old men: "He came to ask for someone." ”

"Who do you want?"

"Useful people."

"Why do you want someone?"

"His name is Li Mi."

"Li Mi? Do I recognize him? ”

"I don't recognize it."

"On what basis did he ask for someone?"

"He can overturn the case for you."

The dialogue is simple and fast, one question and one answer, very concise, as if one more word will cost a year, but Li Mi can also hear it, and the amount of information revealed in the last sentence is not small.

It is estimated that these old men are carrying some unjust cases, so they hide here for refuge, and they are strong in martial arts, and at the beginning they asked what sect and faction, all of which are the routines of the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, plus Lu Jiamao introduced Li Mi to come here to ask for people, which shows that they also have a lot of power under them.

But if they have so many people and such a big force, why don't they overturn the case themselves?

It can be seen from this that either their case is too big, or the case is too difficult, and looking at their age, it is estimated that there are old cases that cannot be investigated.

Li Mi deduced so much information in a short period of time, and the general situation was clear.

Lu Jiamao's last sentence obviously moved these old men, they looked at each other, their eyes were full of grief and indignation, although the years passed, they were afraid that they could not dilute the unwillingness in their hearts.

"On what basis did he overturn the case for us?" The old man looked at Li Mi for a while, and then asked Lu Jiamao, Lu Jiamao was also a little displeased, and said to these old men: "The old man is just thinking about the love for many years, help you draw a line, if you don't believe it, the old man will take him back." ”

Saying this, Lu Jiamao made a gesture to leave, but the old man took two steps forward and stopped.

"Don't you ask?"

Lu Jiamao was about to speak, but Li Mi grabbed the conversation: "It's not that you can't ask, you don't need to ask, you are only shallow in the next year, these things can't be done, and today is a disturbance." ”

After Li Mi finished speaking, he glanced at Zhen Mi, and then turned around, letting Lu Jiamao stare at him with a look.

"What are you doing this for?"

Li Mi smiled bitterly: "Old cases, there is no way to investigate, there are some clues, and it is time-consuming and laborious to investigate, I still have to accompany His Highness to study, at the beginning of the war ahead, I don't know when I will be able to go back, and I don't think about investigating the case for the time being." ”

It seems that Li Mi has not investigated such an old case as King Chu's life experience, although the difficulty is not small, but it is not impossible, but these are all martial arts people in the rivers and lakes, and it involves sectarian struggles or something, it is all disgraceful, but Li Mi is a person from the imperial court, and it is inevitable that there will be some unclear calculations.

Moreover, Li Mi does have the heart to support Zhu Changluo, even if he wants to investigate the case, he will not be able to settle down until Zhu Changluo enters the East Palace, how can he have the spare strength to help these martial arts people investigate the case?

However, he didn't say anything to death, and deliberately mentioned His Royal Highness and the like, also to reveal his details and let them know their official background, after all, most martial arts people hate people in the official mansion.

Although there was no shortage of heroes in the martial arts at that time, in fact, most of them were underworlds to put it bluntly, and those black shes in later generations were almost the same, and they didn't dare to say whether they did evil, but they were definitely not good people.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Mi said this, several old men immediately changed their faces, first, Li Mi mentioned the old case, and second, Li Mi mentioned the word His Royal Highness.

The old man immediately stepped forward and said to Li Mi, "Who are you?" ”

Li Mi only saw clearly at this time that this old man was in his fifties, but he was not tall, his face was wrinkled, and there were already age spots near his temples.

It is estimated that he was also a gangster in the past, and his speech was a little domineering, but this kind of style is nothing in Li Mi's eyes, after all, what Li Mi wants to do now is to bully the king, and he is bold.

Li Mi is a person who respects me, and I am still a human being, and I was polite and disliked and despised earlier, but now I don't ask for them, and I speak casually.

"Who are you?"

Seeing that Li Mi asked rudely, the old men next to him were a little displeased, and one of them said: "Mu Wu respects the elder, is this also what you can inquire!" ”

Li Mi also shook his head and smiled, thinking of this, he was inevitably a little disappointed, because when he came here, he knew that the eight major schools in martial arts novels and film and television works were not so godly.

There are few * when there are naturally, there should be warriors, but there are not so many masters, and the kung fu is not so exaggerated, as for the Huashan faction and the Hengshan faction, it is either apocryphalic or exaggerated.

Naturally, there are martial arts factions, but these folk gangs are disliked by the imperial court, because gangs and factions are all driven by interests, such as the chambers of commerce of Hui merchants, Jin merchants and maritime merchants, such as the Donglin Party of the literati, the Qing Party, the Chu Party, the Qi Party, etc., these are all gangs.

And the competition between these gangs is naturally not about the level of martial arts, but about financial resources and connections, etc., and what they do is a profitable business.

There are also a lot of shady things such as collusion between officials and businessmen, and as for what kind of sectarian martial arts competition, don't think it's too beautiful.

To put it bluntly, these people are the black shehui of the Ming Dynasty, and there are wars caused by fighting for territory and interests, and there may be those who can fight, and there should be masters, but most of them are fighting in groups, fighting fiercely, and there are also sergeants who desert as thugs, which are quite popular, because the sergeants are already deserters, wanted by the imperial court, and they don't care about it, so they are very ruthless.

So when Sima Hui talked about the story of Lu Jiamao, Li Mi was so excited and excited, because from Lu Jiamao, he finally smelled the imaginary smell of rivers and lakes.

After listening to the old man's reprimand, Li Mi also felt funny: "This disrespectful elder can't be used on me, and those who respect people will always respect him, if they are disrespectful to the old, how can they make people respect the old and the virtuous?" ”

"Besides, we have never met, and we have no friendship, it is ridiculous to say this, whether a person is worthy of respect, it depends on his character, not age, if you only talk about seniority, any old rascal to mess around, I have to call grandpa?"

As soon as Li Mi said this, the faces of the people present immediately looked difficult, after all, most of the people present were elderly.

However, what Li Mi said was not unreasonable, at least Sima Hui showed appreciative eyes.

These people are not defenders, since they can eat Jianghu rice, they are not very particular about these red tape, what makes them unhappy is Li Mi's tone and attitude, but they never reflect on their own actions.

Lu Jiamao also had the intention of pulling the two sides, otherwise he would not have brought Li Mi over, and when he saw this, he also greeted everyone.

"Okay, it's hundreds of years old, and it's good to fight with a young man?"

"He was born in a criminal name, and now he is a scholar in the Hanlin Academy, and Xuanfu in Shandong Prefecture, if I were you, I would first open my eyes and look at the knife on his waist, the more I live, the more I go back, my eyes are not good!"

As soon as Lu Jiamao said this, everyone focused their eyes on the Qi family knife inserted horizontally at Li Mi's waist, this knife was actually very long, and it was almost enough to reach the ground on his back, so Li Mi generally stuck his back waist, or stretched out backwards.

Sima Hui also said that Qi Shuai had used martial arts people, so these people may have grievances against the imperial court, but they are absolutely happy and sincere to Qi Shuai.

Sure enough, when everyone saw the treasure knife on Li Mi's waist, their eyes immediately lit up, and those official titles became dispensable.

Lu Jiamao added another sentence at this time: "He is Wu Weizhong's righteous son, you should always rest assured, right?" ”

"Wu Weizhong's righteous son? No wonder...... No wonder......"

The old man who was in charge of the black only introduced himself at this time: "Shicai is that I am slacking off the old man, and the old man is Cheng Beidou of the Shunfeng Society in Fujian and Zhejiang." ”

"Fujian and Zhejiang Shunfeng Society?" When Li Mi heard this name, he also had a plan in his heart, and estimated that it should be a gang of maritime merchants, but he could be named Fujian and Zhejiang, and he estimated that he was also wealthy.

It's just that Li Mi is inevitably suspicious, these old guys are on an equal footing, that is to say, the status of other old men should be similar.

Since they are all the bosses of various gangs, why are they hiding in the manor outside the Santun camp so desolately, living a life where no one is a ghost or a ghost?
