Chapter 355: Loyalty and Righteousness Are Hard to Achieve

In the dark night, the bright moonlight shuttles through the tulle. There was a dead silence in the silent resettlement area. This is the time when people sleep most soundly.

But suddenly, a pair of eyes lit up in the night.

Haoyue suddenly rolled over and got up, and foreseeing the coming danger was a necessary skill in this industry. Those who can become snitches are much more alert than ordinary martial arts people.

Fortunately, he had already placed those children elsewhere, and this was one of the places where he was dying.

The cunning rabbit is his instinct. Even, there are far more than three of his caves.

Haoyue came to the door softly, without even making a sound. Through the crack in the door, I saw several black shadows rising and falling on the roof. The corners of Haoyue's mouth were slightly hooked, and she gently hung a weighing stone on the deadbolt.

Then he gently pushed open the window, and the figure disappeared into the room in a flash.

Whoosh –

With a few inaudible sounds of landing, the four members of the Flying Fox Action Team landed outside Haoyue's room, and the four of them didn't make a sound, gesturing to arrange the order of action.

Three-two-one

Boom –

slammed the door of the room open, and a figure rushed into the room as fast as lightning and went straight to the bed, "Xuan Tianwei, don't move!"

"White wolf, it's a scarecrow, fake!"

"Boom-" Suddenly, a burst of firelight exploded, and the entire room was instantly illuminated by firelight. The flames spread rapidly, engulfing almost the entire room in an instant.

"Fire oil! Oh no, I've been tricked!"

"There's a fireβ€”"

A shrill scream rang out, piercing the sky.

Seeing the rapid spread of the fire, the four arresting team members rushed out of the room in a flash.

"That voice is there, chase!" the black wolf figure was about to move, but was grabbed by someone.

"White wolf, what to do?"

"This is densely populated, if the fire is allowed to spread, people will die, so it is important to save people!" he said, looking at the several iron buckets that were neatly placed at the door.

"That bastard...... It's all ready for us!"

"Bastard, every barrel is mixed with fire oil, and he still wants to yin us. Arrest him and see the other brothers, let's put out the fire!"

Because of that scream, the people in the resettlement area woke up one after another. And the flames don't just come out in one place. Almost in the blink of an eye, fires broke out in all three houses.

The entire resettlement housing area was completely boiling, and people crowded in the corridors in panic, hundreds of people either took buckets to fight the fire, or rushed out of the dormitory to the open field, and some took advantage of the fire to rob and fish in troubled waters.

Haoyue's body style was like a fish in water in the crowded crowd, and almost in the blink of an eye, he got rid of the lock of the Flying Fox Special Action Team and quietly hid in the night.

After getting out of the track, he immediately disappeared into the darkness under the cover of the night, and the hustle and bustle in the distance continued, and Haoyue quietly came to the construction area of the seventh resettlement house.

With the increasing number of immigrants, the rooms in the resettlement houses have become more and more insufficient, and more than a dozen resettlement housing areas have undergone several rounds of expansion. The seventh resettlement housing expansion area is under construction and is expected to be completed in six months. So this is the most ideal hiding place for Haoyue.

There are dense obstacles, there are not too many pedestrians, and the area is large enough, and the terrain is not generally complicated.

Sneaking into the construction site like a ghost, Haoyue looked at the voices in the distance, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a slight smile, "Dogs, you want to catch me, but there is no door." ”

Picking up a leaf that he picked casually, he just turned around, Haoyue's footsteps slammed, and his eyes instantly became cold.

The bright red official robe swayed in the wind, and the hair under the moon was like fairy clouds. In this world, the only person who can find Haoyue so accurately is Xianyun, because they are brothers, they grew up together, and they are too familiar with each other.

"Are you here to arrest me?" Haoyue smiled playfully at the corner of her mouth.

"I said, you can't make another move, as long as you do, I will arrest you! Why don't you listen to persuasion? Why?"

"Listen to persuasion? hahaha...... You are a soldier and I am a thief, why should I listen to you? Since you are so obsessed, then we have nothing to talk about as a brotherhood. ”

As she spoke, Haoyue slowly pulled out the long sword at her waist and pointed straight at the cloud in front of her.

Xianyun waved his hand lightly, and the battle robe behind him suddenly flew in the wind. The long knife on his waist was slowly withdrawn, inch by inch, reflecting the cold glow like the autumn moon.

"You don't use a sword anymore?" Haoyue's face was a little angry, he couldn't believe that Xianyun didn't even use the martial arts of his master.

"It's more convenient to use a knife!" Xianyun's voice was very low, and when the words landed, a momentum exploded. There was a sudden loud noise under his feet, a hole exploded on the tip of his foot, and his figure flashed, rushing towards Haoyue as fast as lightning.

A burst of moonlight exploded, and Haoyue's sword was just like his name, the sword light flickered, as quiet as moonlight. The two figures crossed each other, and the energy shot out like a rain of stars at the moment when the swords intersected.

Boom Boom Boom –

There was a burst of explosion like the sound of firecrackers, and the scaffolding beside him collapsed with a bang.

Xianyun and Haoyue swapped places, and the two turned their backs to each other, and both closed their eyes.

Tick, tick......

The sound of blood dripping was so harsh in the silence of the night, Xianyun had an extra backpack in his hand, and under his feet, blood was meandering and spreading.

Haoyue's sword trembled constantly. The moments of the hand-to-hand fight kept shaking in front of his eyes. It was Xianyun who withdrew his hand at the most critical time, otherwise, the one who died would definitely be himself.

However, one of his own swords stabbed at Xianyun mercilessly, although it did not hit the vital point...... But...... Haoyue's heart seemed to be torn apart. It's like being torn apart by someone, making Haoyue feel ashamed.

"Why? Why do you have mercy, why, why do you stop. Lao Tzu doesn't want you to let me, and Lao Tzu doesn't want you to let me even if he dies. ”

"Let's go!" Xianyun suddenly fell to one knee weakly, lowered his head and let out a low roar.

"Leave Chuzhou, don't come back. ”

"Captainβ€”"

"He's thereβ€”"

A few exclamations sounded, and Haoyue's face changed.

"Not yet!" Xianyun's low roar crushed Haoyue's last hesitation. Haoyue glanced at Xianyun coldly, jumped forward, and shot into the night again.

"Captain, how are you?" The members of the Flying Fox Special Operations Team arrived one after another, looking nervously at Xianyun's injuries one by one.

"I'm out of the way, you guys go after it!"

"White wolf, black wolf, green snake, you stay and take care of the captain, and the others will chase after me!"

"I can't catch up, no one in the Einsatzgruppen team can catch up with that guy except Xianyun. My lord, won't you make a move?" On the scaffold in the distance, Feng Jian asked Lu Sheng suspiciously.

"It doesn't seem good to see such a precious brotherhood, so ruined. The snitch named Haoyue has a little bit of meaning. ”

Lu Sheng did appreciate this snitch a little, and left a letterhead when he committed the crime, and his light skills were superb and his swordsmanship was outstanding, which made Lu Sheng have a sense of Chu Liuxiang's sight.

"What should we do with Xianyun?" Feng Jian asked again.

"It's time to teach him a lesson, since he is a law enforcer, he can't be rash. ”

"My lord, didn't you also let Haoyue go, if you fired Xianyun because of this, your subordinates were a little unconvinced. ”

"Letting go of Haoyue is not the root of this matter, the root is that Xianyun has not yet realized the ideology of being a law enforcer. I can spare Xianyun, and I can also arrest him at any time.

I let him go because he is still a principled thief, does not hurt others, and robs the rich to help the poor, and is not a great evildoer in the heart of this official, that's all. But the problem of Xianyun is far from simple.

I need to give him some punishment to make him increase his memory, whether to let Haoyue go or not, I have the final say, not his own opinion. I dare to say that even if Haoyue kills someone, Xianyun can let him go, believe it or not?"

"Understood!" Feng Jian nodded and quietly stepped aside.

The next day, early in the morning, in front of Lu Sheng's case, there were the stolen goods that Xianyun snatched from Haoyue yesterday, in addition to 100,000 taels of silver tickets, some gold and silver jewelry and an account book.

"My lord, judging from the content of the report of the shopkeeper of Shiweitian, the number of silver tickets and gold and silver treasures is in line with ...... But this ledger was not included in his report. Could it be that the ledger isn't his?"

Lu Sheng looked at the ledger, "It stands to reason that this bag of things should have been stolen from Shi Weitian, there is no reason why the ledger is not." And what is recorded in the ledger is also the purchase and sale of grain.

Strange, have we already fixed the grain price in Chuzhou, and we must not regulate the grain price privately?"

"Yes, since three years ago, only the Taishou Mansion has the right to change the grain price adjustment beyond us, why, this food is the sky and dares to raise the price of grain?"

"No, it's lowering the price of food. The price of grain on the ledger is thirty percent lower than what we have set, but at such a low price, that anyone is willing to sell it to him? And the amount is so huge?"

The spider took the ledger and looked at it, "Could it be the grain they purchased from other places?" Except for Chuzhou, the price of grain in other places is not limited. In May this year, almost all of the 19 states in China were bumper years. The grain price in our Chuzhou is stable, but the grain price in other states is very low, even if the food is the sky, there is still some money to be made by buying grain from other places. ”

"Maybe! But Shi Weitian reported the case and told the stolen things so clearly, but he forgot the ledger...... Not very reasonable. In this case, since he doesn't say it, we won't return the ledger to him. You tell the shopkeeper to take the things back. ”

"Yes!"

Lu Sheng got off work early, and today he made an appointment to go out with Bu Feiyan to watch the theatrical performance of the workshop. Because of the economic prosperity of Anqing Province, the people have excess disposable income. Driven by the fast pace of life, the life of the workers seems a bit dull and depressing.

Therefore, Lu Sheng also supported some entertainment industries to adjust the mental state of the people. Because of this, various industries such as theaters, acrobatics, cross talk, and storytelling began to blossom in Anqing Mansion.
