Chapter Twenty-Eight: Someone from the Government
"Liu Lao'er, today's old man admits planting. But don't be complacent, this time it's just your plot with poison, even if you kill me this time, you don't want to live in peace in the future. The fear of the Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable gradually faded, and all that remained was a burst of sarcasm.
Liu Qingyuan didn't take his words to heart, and sneered: "You don't have to worry about it." ”
Chu Yun looked at the Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable, with a hint of caution in the depths of his eyes.
Just now, when the other party used the method of poisoning the soul devouring that day, he guessed something, after all, there are not many such secret methods in the rivers and lakes, and Chu Yun in the previous life also knew some in the world of "The Legend of the Great Hero", this nine-fingered evil venerable is probably not as simple as it seems.
However, Chu Yun did not express his worries, because he was not sure if there was such an existence in this real world.
"Elder Liu, this Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable will be handed over to you to deal with. Remember not to alarm others, I don't want the news of the death of the Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable in the Chu Mansion in the rivers and lakes tomorrow. Chu Yun said indifferently, it seemed that just now slapping the Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable with one palm was just a trivial matter for him.
Liu Qingyuan bowed respectfully to Chu Yun and said, "Thank you Gongzi for your success, please rest assured, Xiao Lao'er will definitely handle this matter properly." ”
Unconsciously, Liu Qingyuan changed his title for Chu Yun slightly, from the original Chu Gongzi to Gongzi, although it was only a word difference, but the meaning was completely different.
Although Chu Yun heard the change in Liu Qingyuan's title, he didn't say anything.
First, he also saw Liu Qingyuan's temperament, he was definitely a person who admitted death, otherwise he would not have spent more than ten years chasing down the Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable to avenge the murder of his wife; Second, through this incident, he also felt quite a lot. Although he doesn't plan to get involved in the disputes in the rivers and lakes for the time being, even if he practices medicine, he will inevitably have some entanglements with the people in the rivers and lakes, and some things are inconvenient for him to deal with.
"Yu'er, let's go in first!" Chu Yun greeted and took Yu'er into the house. He knew the hatred of Liu Qingyuan's father and daughter for the Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable, and estimated that there were some pictures that were not suitable for Yu'er to watch.
Yu'er obediently followed behind Chu Yun: "Childe, ...... just now Are you okay? ”
Chu Yun smiled and said, "What can I do?" ”
After that, the two of them had already entered the room.
Liu Qingyuan in the courtyard knocked the Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable unconscious with one palm, and then greeted Liu Xishuang, and the father and daughter swept out of the courtyard wall and disappeared into the night.
"Childe, do you think Uncle Liu and Sister Liu will come back?" Yu'er heard the movement outside the house and couldn't help but ask Chu Yun.
After getting along for the past few days, she and Liu Xishuang also have some feelings, and now seeing Liu Xishuang leaving, she feels a little reluctant in her heart.
Chu Yun smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, they will come back." By the way, Yu'er, I see that your internal force cultivation is progressing well, and it is estimated that you are about to advance to the Acupoint Realm, right? ”
Yu'er raised her little head arrogantly and said, "Of course!" How can I be considered a half-apprentice of yours, Childe? You can't weaken your name. ”
Chu Yun patted her head and scolded with a smile: "Just you girl can say." ”
Yu'er immediately pouted and looked at Chu Yun, and after a while, she said with infinite admiration: "Childe, your move just now is really powerful, and a master as powerful as the Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable has been defeated by you with one move." ”
Chu Yun smiled and said: "To put it bluntly, the Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable is much stronger than me, the situation at that time was quite special, the other party used a secret method to improve strength, but it was much lower in terms of senses, and the other party didn't take me seriously at all, so there was such a result." If the Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable paid a little more attention, it is estimated that I would be the one who was sent out. ”
The two talked for a while, and Chu Yun explained some doubts about cultivation to Yu'er, and then Yu'er retreated to rest.
……
Outside the Chu Mansion, in a narrow alley.
There were two people sneakily huddled in the corner.
"My lord, I clearly saw a person walking over from outside this alley and running into the courtyard of the Chu Mansion." A gangster said very excitedly, this time he has made a great contribution, maybe he can blend into the Wang family.
You must know that the Wang family is a martial arts family in Gongzhou City, although in the eyes of figures like Du Chongxiao, the Wang family is nothing, but in the eyes of these low-level gangsters, the Wang family is already a top wealthy family.
Joining the Wang family is definitely a matter of honoring the ancestors.
The other said in a low voice, "Are you sure that person is the person I painted you in?" ”
The thug said, "Surely, I remember that look." I was curled up here pretending to be a beggar, and the old guy stared at me, and I felt like I was being targeted by a ghost. ”
The other party nodded, it seems that this matter is not far from ten.
"I remember your credit, and I'll go back and inform the master. You're just waiting for the benefits. The man said quickly, and then disappeared into the depths of the alley with a puff of smoke.
……
In the wee hours of the morning, Chu Yun was awakened from his sleep by a chaotic sound, he guessed that it was Liu Qingyuan's father and daughter who came back, and muttered: "Why did you make such a loud noise?" ”
Then Chu Yun got out of bed, put on his clothes and opened the door, only to find that the courtyard was empty, but there was a noise from the outer courtyard.
Chu Yun listened to it and snorted in a low voice: "It seems that some people don't know how to stop yet!" ”
At that moment, Chu Yun got dressed and walked out of the door, but just saw that Yu'er had already come to the door.
"Childe, I hear a noise outside, why don't I go and see it first?" Yu'er said quickly.
"No, let's go together. Some people are still not giving up. After speaking, Chu Yun walked outside.
Yu'er guessed that Childe already knew about the situation outside, so she didn't ask any more questions and followed directly.
As soon as the two of them walked to the door of the hall of the outer courtyard, they heard a voice say arrogantly: "Mrs. Chu, I advise you to know each other a little, we are ordered by the county order to search your mansion." If you obstruct it again, you will be guilty of obstruction of official duties. ”
"Liu Zhutou, although my Chu family is not considered a big family in Gongzhou City, it can be regarded as having some face. I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate for you to come to search late at night without evidence like this, right? Besides, about the theft of the Wang family's cheats, there was a conclusion last time, and now that Liu Zhutou has brought up the old matter, the slave family has to wonder if you Liu Zhutou have other plans. Mrs. Chu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
The Chu family has been able to develop so far, in addition to Chu Tianxing's business acumen, Mrs. Chu herself is not weak. After all, Chu Tianxing spends most of his time taking care of business outside, and many times it is Mrs. Chu who runs the house.
Liu Zhutou did not stop because of Mrs. Chu's words: "Mrs. Chu, since I personally led the team here, there is naturally evidence. ”
"If there is any evidence, you can tell me." Chu Yun stepped in and asked confrontedly.
Liu Zhutou and the others were a little surprised in an instant, but when they turned their heads to look at it, they found that it was Chu Yun, and they couldn't help but have a sneer on their faces, and said, "It turned out to be Chu Yun, the son of Chu, you had better persuade your mother." If your family really didn't steal the royal family's wild goose travel cheats, wouldn't we be able to confirm your family's innocence after we searched! ”
Chu Yun said: "My mother has her own decision, I just want to know what your so-called evidence is, Liu Zhutou." Although Liu Zhutou is the head catcher in the county, you can't trespass into private houses and arrest businesses at will. Although we, the ordinary people, can't cure your sins, if it spreads, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to Liu Zhutou's career. ”
"This matter involves the confidentiality of the case, so naturally I can't tell you." Liu Zhutou said awe-inspiringly, "Mrs. Chu, I'll just ask one thing now, do you let it or not!" ”
Mrs. Chu was suddenly angry, but she was helpless.
The Chu family is just a merchant, how can they oppose the government? Although she felt that tonight's matter was in charge of the Chu family, it was not enough to change Liu Zhutou's decision, even if she wanted to ask the county government for an explanation in the future, it would be after the search.
With Mrs. Chu's mind, she guessed that this search was not as simple as it seemed, and even this Liu Zhutou was likely to secretly do evil.
She has heard that the ability of the county government to catch fast and single-handedly plant blame is perfect.
"You are so bold that you dare to make trouble in Chu Mansion!" A voice came from outside, Liu Zhutou could even hear the power that frightened him from these words, this person must be a person in the martial arts, and his strength is definitely not low.
Liu Zhutou immediately turned his head to look, but found an old man who was over one hundred and a half years old standing at the door with a teenage girl, he had already recognized this old man, and the fear in his eyes was even stronger.
This old man is none other than Liu Qingyuan.
Originally, Liu Zhutou didn't know Liu Qingyuan, but during this time, the martial arts in the Gongzhou area made a fuss because of Liu Qingyuan and the Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable.
As the head catcher of the six gates of Gongzhou City, he naturally needs to understand who the other party is.
Therefore, Liu Zhutou not only knew Liu Qingyuan's appearance, but also knew that the other party was a strong man at the peak of the Cave Realm, a super master who could compete with Du Chongxiao, the strongest man in Gongzhou City.
"Your Excellency is Liu Qingyuan Liu Daxia?" Liu Zhutou asked cautiously.
Liu Qingyuan said: "The hero is not a hero, the little old man is Liu Qingyuan." ”
"Liu Daxia, what did you mean by this just now? Under the order of the county, he came to search the Chu Mansion, how could it be regarded as a trouble? Liu Zhutou said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Liu Qingyuan snorted coldly and said, "Why are you searching Chu Mansion?" Even if it is a prefectural order, it is impossible to order a search for no reason. ”
"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, Liu Daxia, right?" Liu Zhutou relied on the backing of the government, and he was not so jealous of Liu Qingyuan.
