Chapter 26: Yuan Hou
Overnight, prostitution kilns, gambling houses, docks, ...... More than a dozen underworld forces at the bottom of the Jiang Court were terminated, and nearly two hundred lives were lost. Just thinking about that bloody picture, Zhou Kuian felt stunned. If Zhou Kuian's fear of Su Yi before was due to the prestige of the Yuan Demon Sect and the poison in his body, then the fear that Zhou Kuian is even more afraid of now is Su Yi, a big killer who kills people without blinking!
So many people died overnight, and the governor of Jiangting City was also in a mess. Fortunately, the preliminary investigation results showed that none of these dead people were good people, but evil ruffians who made the people applaud, and there was nothing to do with it.
Because many murders last night occurred in Zhou Kuian's patrol inspection area that was a little related, Zhou Kuian, who was dressed in the skin of an officer, was also called to the inspection yamen today, and watched the other party make a big fire in front of his subordinates.
In fact, everyone present at the time knew that this case, which involved hundreds of lives, would eventually become an unsolved case, and the inspector and other relevant officials would inevitably suffer some hanging.
Another night fell, and Zhou Kuian at this moment was like an ant in a hot pot. I begged my grandfather to tell my grandmother that I hoped that the masked man would not kill again tonight, otherwise he would really poke the hornet's nest. Whether something will happen to the masked man at that time is another matter, but Zhou Kuian is inevitably worried that he will be implicated.
When he was anxious, Zhou Kuian suddenly heard the sound of his clothes dancing, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Su Yi who fell from the wall with his face covered.
"See the Lord." Zhou Kuian hurriedly came over to salute.
"No need to be polite." Su Yi waved his hand and came to the hall to sit down, and then asked about the impact of Zhou Kuian's incident last night.
Zhou Kuian hurriedly brought the news he found out today.
"The Lord used thunderbolt means to sweep away this gang of lawbreakers, not only the people applauded, in fact, the government is also happy to see it, the court has always been afraid of the people who violate the ban by force, the Lord cut off this generation is actually in line with the government's wishes, presumably when the limelight passes, this matter will be covered up."
Su Yi nodded, but he could understand that since ancient times, there have been countless examples of people in the rivers and lakes who have come and gone in this world to violate the ban with martial arts. The forces of various sects and gangs are intertwined and penetrate into all aspects of society, and the imperial court has no good way to control this.
Over time, as long as everything related to the grievances and vendettas of the rivers and lakes is not overdone, or if it involves the ordinary people's official mansions, they will not be able to see it, and even they wish that the people who practice martial arts can fight and kill each other as much as possible.
If it weren't for the fact that too many people died this time and it happened in the city, and there were too many witnesses to block Youyou's mouth, the government would have ignored it as if it hadn't happened.
Seeing that Su Yi didn't say anything after listening, Zhou Kuian asked cautiously, "I don't know what the Lord has to arrange tonight?" ”
"I still have important things to do tomorrow, and the people on the list you provided with clear evil deeds were almost done last night, and it must be enough to deter the young people, so let's stop this matter for now."
Zhou Kuian couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, if the masked man in front of him killed another river of blood and ran into those forces with a shallow foundation behind him, I am afraid that this Jiangting City would change the sky.
"By the way, where are the two masters and servants I rescued last night, you go and invite them over." Su Yi thought of Lu Xiangling and Lin Yu.
"Back to the Lord, the villain settled the two of them in the west wing of the backyard this morning, and the villain will call someone to invite them over."
After a while, the master and servant came in succession. Seeing the benefactor who was still masked, Lu Xiangling and Lin Yu showed a hint of joy in their sad faces, and after sitting down, Su Yi said.
"Miss Lu, I heard you say last night that you want to go to Yuanyang to seek refuge with your aunt, there are still three hundred miles to go to Yuanyang, and there will inevitably be some dangers along the way, I don't know what your plans are?"
"Don't hide it from the benefactor, the little girl's aunt's husband's family is now the Yuanyang Marquis of Yuanyang, after this suffering, the little woman intends to repair a letter and send someone to my aunt in Yuanyang, inform her of what happened on the road, and then ask my aunt to send someone to Jiangting to escort the two of us to Yuanyang, and then I am afraid that I will have to trouble the benefactor for some time." Lu Xiangling's face was slightly ashamed.
"Yuan Hou? You said that your uncle is the current Marquis of Yuan, Xiao Hongfei? Zhou Kuian was listening casually on the side, but suddenly interjected and asked.
"Exactly, Mr. Zhou knows my uncle?" Lu Xiangling asked with some surprise.
"Hehe, I don't know, but your uncle was a famous prodigal family in Jiangting City when he was young."
Zhou Kuian then pulled the topic away, and through his narration, Su Yi knew that the family of Xiao Hongfei, the Marquis of Yuan, was the land of Yuanyang Banyi after the founding military generals of Daxing. Xiao Hongfei is the third son of the Marquis of Yuan in the previous generation, because there is no hope of inheriting the lord, he studied in Jiangting when he was young and was famous for his profligacy, which caused many people to like to see right and wrong.
Until a year ago, with Xiao Hongfei's eldest brother and second brother passing away due to illness one after another, he left no heirs. The old marquis fell ill under the blow of losing his son, and died in less than two months, Xiao Hongfei inherited the position of Marquis of Yuan dramatically, and this matter also caused a heated discussion in Jiangting City.
Although Lu Xiangling has never seen half of her uncle, she still feels a little embarrassed to be talked about by her own family in person. After all, Zhou Kuian is an old and sophisticated person, and he finally stopped talking when he saw Lu Xiangling and the others with different faces.
"Look at my stinky mouth, I can talk nonsense, and please don't take Miss Lu to heart."
Lu Xiangling's face was slightly pale, but Su Yi's heart moved. According to the information of this world instilled in him by the system, the founding military generals of the Daxing Dynasty, in addition to the hereditary titles, the descendants are generally local real power military positions. Should this Yuan Hou be the same?
"Zhou Kuian, do you know what kind of martial arts position this Yuan Hou holds?"
Why is this asking? Zhou Kui was a little strange in his heart, but he still replied respectfully on his face: "Back to the lord, as far as the villain knows, this Marquis of Yuan is the commander of the Suiyang Water Division. ”
Su Yi's surface was immovable, and he quickly calculated in his heart. To the south of Jiangting is the Suiyang Lake, which is the waterway that Chiling Xiao's young son and his party must pass to return to their hometown in Guangyang. Since this Lu Xiangling's aunt is actually Mrs. Yuanhou, if you don't use this relationship to tie up Yuanhou to the big ship escorting Chiling Xiao's young son, I'm sorry for myself!
