A knife in love

Chapter 870

Seeing Li Qiufeng's repeated refusals, Huang Chong had no choice but to nod his head, and said, "Mr. Li has already made up his mind, if I try to persuade you again, it would be a little unreasonable."

Li Qiufeng said: "I don't dare to think about it. Your Excellency's kindness, I will remember it in my heart."

The two chatted for a while, and Huang Chong said: "The official brought Mr. Li back to the county government, not to ask about any case. It's just that the Town God's Temple is too chaotic, if someone with ulterior motives is hiding among the surrounding people I'm afraid that it will be disadvantageous to Mr. Li, so I invite you back to the county government office. I have already ordered Chief Yin to select a few capable arresters to follow Mr. Li. Unpredictable."

Li Qiufeng said: "My lord's kindness is appreciated by Li. It's just that the yamen is short of manpower when we are employing people, so don't bother me to send arresters to follow me. I have been with Wan Congyun, Mei Dali, Bayuyan and others. After discussing it, with their help, I think it will be fine."

Huang Chong shook his head, and said: "To be honest, these people you mentioned are all rascals in Xiuwu County. It may be useful to ask them to wave their flags and stand up to cheer. But relying on these people to charge forward and protect the people , They escaped faster than anyone else. I want Mr. Li to lead these people, not because I hope Mr. Li can lead these people to rise suddenly and become an elite soldier in our Xiuwu County. It is because of Mr. Li's martial arts and It is hoped that people can subdue these people so that they will not cause chaos and harm the people in this critical situation. You must know that these people are local snakes and they know the situation in Xiuwu County very clearly. In the event of an accident, no matter whether they take advantage of the fire to loot, or secretly collude with some people who have other plans, the disaster will be more terrifying than those people in the world."

When Li Qiufeng heard this, his heart couldn't help but tremble.He originally thought that Huang Chong was just a fair, honest and somewhat pedantic official.It's just that last night when I heard him discussing secretly with Hu Kun, I realized that this person is not as stubborn as I thought at first.At this time, listening to his evaluation of Wan Congyun and others, he was even more impressed.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, it turned out that Huang Chong had hidden a plan long ago, and wanted to use himself to restrain Wan Congyun and others, so that these local ruffians in Xiuwu County would not cause chaos.In this way, even if there is a change in the people who gathered in Xiuwu County, as long as the local ruffians in the city don't take the opportunity to make trouble, Huang Chong and others will have no worries, and things will be much easier to handle.

Seeing Li Qiufeng groaning silently, Huang Chong continued, "I have heard from Yin Butou and Master Feng that Mr. Li has excellent martial arts skills and has shown his might in front of Wan Congyun and others several times. These people respect Mr. Li again." I'm also afraid, because Mr. Li is in charge, so I can sit back and relax. I also ask Mr. Li to help me to keep Xiuwu County safe and sound before going to Shuzhong..."

He hadn't finished speaking when he heard someone knock on the door lightly, and then Yin Butou said outside the door: "My lord, the prefect of Han has arrived, and I want you to go to the main hall to talk."

Huang Chong's expression changed, he stood up abruptly, and said to Li Qiufeng, "The magistrate has arrived, and I must go to greet you. Mr. Li will go out with Yin Butou."

Li Qiufeng hurriedly bowed his hands and said yes.Huang Chong said loudly: "Bootou Yin, come in and talk."

Yin Butou agreed, and then pushed open the wooden door and walked in.The moment the wooden door was opened, there was already a tolerance in the yard, standing with his hands down.Presumably this person came to report.After Yin Butou entered the room, he did not close the door, but walked quickly to Huang Chong's side.Huang Chong said in a deep voice: "I have already asked clearly, the case of the Town God's Temple has nothing to do with Mr. Li. You will send Mr. Li out of the county government, and you will have to serve him well."

Yin Butou agreed, and then he and Li Qiufeng left the stone house with Huang Chong.

When he got to the second courtyard, Huang Chong wanted to go to the main hall to meet Han Qusi.Yin Butou bid farewell to Huang Chong, and led Li Qiufeng out of the county government.It was almost noon at this time, but there were few pedestrians on the street. Compared with the lively scene that Li Qiufeng saw when he first arrived in Xiuwu County, it was already very different.In front of the gate of the yamen stood more than a dozen Tolerance arresters, holding knives in their right hands and sticks in their left, guarding them extremely tightly.

Yin Butou sent Li Qiufeng out of the gate, then clasped his fists and said: "Since the prefect of Han has arrived, the villain has to wait for orders in the yamen, so I won't send Daxia Li back to the City God's Temple."

Li Qiufeng said: "Butou Yin is busy if you have something to do. Li will go back on his own, there is no need for Butou Yin to worry."

After the two left, Li Qiufeng immediately headed east.It's just that after he walked two streets, he turned north.It turned out that he had made up his mind early in the morning to discuss this matter carefully with Liu Yong and others.It's just that Huang Chong didn't expect Huang Chong to bring himself into the county government, which delayed him all morning.

At this time, the street was full of murderous atmosphere, and it was no longer bustling and lively as in the past few days.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, Jianghu gangs entered Xiuwu County on a large scale, and the common people could see that the situation was wrong, so they hid at home and dared not go out.It can be seen that if there is chaos in the world, the common people will be terrified.No wonder there is a saying among the people, which is called "Better to be a dog of peace than to be a person in troubled times".Right now, it's just a battle between the rivers and lakes, which has made the originally bustling and lively Xiuwu County look like this.If the world is really in chaos, with swords and soldiers everywhere, I'm afraid that Xiuwu County will immediately become a dead city.

Li Qiufeng walked forward slowly while thinking about something on his mind.Before he knew it, he had already crossed two streets, not far from the north of the city.At this moment, suddenly saw a group of people running in front of them.When he got closer, Li Qiufeng recognized that this group was Mei Dali and his more than 20 apprentices.

At this time, Mei Dali also recognized Li Qiufeng, and hurried forward to meet him, and after a distance of three or four feet, he cupped his hands and said, "Commander Li, we are going to the Town God's Temple to find you, but unexpectedly we will meet you here. It's the best!"

Seeing the terrified expressions on the faces of this group of people, Li Qiufeng thought to himself, these local ruffians have always been cunning, they are used to bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, and they are the local snakes in Xiuwu County, so they will not suffer easily.But looking at their appearance, it seems that they have suffered a big loss.

While he was thinking about it, Mei Dali had already run up to him, and said in a low voice: "Commander Li, something serious has happened right now, you old man should be careful."

When Li Qiufeng heard him call himself "Your old man", he was angry and funny.But looking at his appearance, he respects himself very much, but he is not easy to get angry.So he pretended to be surprised, and said in his mouth: "What happened again?"

Mei Dali said: "Commander Li must have heard about the City God's Temple incident."

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said, "I found out early in the morning. Seven people were killed in front of the temple, and Miao Zhu and I were both asked by the yamen for questioning."

Mei Dali looked around furiously, then leaned into Li Qiufeng's ear, and whispered, "Commander Li, to tell you the truth, when the county magistrate asked Master Feng to take you away, we hid in those spectators. Among the common people. The two bastards, Wan Laoer and Bayuyan, thought that Commander Li had committed a crime, and they discussed privately that they would go to the yamen to inquire about the news. If Commander Li loses power, they will make trouble and sue him. Commander Li's black form..."

Li Qiufeng listened to Mei Dali's ramblings, saying bad things about Wan Congyun and Bayuyan.He thought to himself, these three villains must have known that they were taken back to the yamen by Master Feng, and they only knew that they were involved in the murder outside the Town God's Temple, so they made up their minds to separate themselves from each other.Seeing the wind and turning the rudder, and throwing stones at the bottom of a well, are originally the forte of these market people.Don't look at Mei Dali's loyal appearance in front of him at this time, if he is really in prison at this time, he will definitely stand beside Wan Congyun and Bayuyan and report his black status.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he only heard Mei Dali say: "The villain knows that Commander Li is a great hero, a great hero. He was taken away by Master Feng and a few policemen, so he must have gone to help handle the case. Hearing Wan Laoer and Bayu These two bastards Yan Yan slandered Commander Li, the villain was naturally filled with righteous indignation, so he quarreled with these two bastards. Afterwards, the police took the seven corpses away, and we dispersed. But we walked not far , and heard that there was a fight in the north of the city, the villain rushed over with his apprentices."
