Liaozhai: A Poor Monk Transcends to Immortal

Chapter 7 County Prince Huang Yuandao

The Meihua Gang has a group of scoundrels gathered under it. These people are more numerous than the government officials in other counties, and their properties are spread throughout Yonghuai County. Their power is hard to estimate, and they have become a cancer that is difficult to remove.

Now even if he wants to cut it off, he doesn't have the strength. After all, it's okay to let these government officials patrol the streets and catch some petty thieves. If they work hard, no one will do it.

If it weren't for the Plum Blossom Gang still fearing the imperial court, I'm afraid even he, the county magistrate, wouldn't be able to do it.

"My lord, this matter?"

The old bookkeeper on the side asked with a worried expression.

Before Huang Yuandao could speak, there was a burst of rapid footsteps.

Immediately, dozens of big men appeared at the gate of the county government office, led by a lean man from the gambling house and a sturdy black-faced man.

The two men's faces were full of anger. They didn't care about him as the county magistrate, and they led people directly into the county government office. The government officials on the side were so timid that no one dared to step forward to stop them.

After entering the county government office, the two saw the bodies on the ground.

"Third brother!"

A look of sadness appeared on his face.

The three of them have been dependent on each other since childhood. Although they act ruthlessly, they are still very affectionate towards their own people.

After a while,
The two got up, with a bit of murderous intent in their eyes, and then respectfully bowed to Huang Yuandao in the hall:
"Please forgive me, sir. The three of us brothers have been dependent on each other since we were young. Now that we learned that our third brother died tragically, we lost our composure and ended up in court by mistake."

"It doesn't matter. The three of us are deeply in love. It's normal for us to be rude like this."

"Thank you for your understanding, sir."

"My brothers and I are going to take this body back and bury it alive. Please allow me to do so."

"Of course, you two can do it yourself."

"Thank you sir."

After saying that, in front of Huang Yuandao, he threw someone and carried the body out.

Faced with all this, Huang Yuandao was still smiling.

However, after the people from the Plum Blossom Gang left, Huang Yuandao's expression turned completely gloomy.

trespassing,

Taking away the corpse without permission for autopsy,
No matter which one it is, it is enough to be labeled as rebellion and the Plum Blossom Gang will be completely eradicated.

However, he had nothing to do except anger.

The court is currently in turmoil. Even if he reports it to the government, no one will pay attention to him in a short time. As for sending troops, it is impossible. After all, no one wants to get into trouble during this special period.

Looking at the group of cowardly yamen servants with their heads down, they were even more angry.

"Retire!"

He immediately flicked his sleeves and turned around to go to the back hall.

"Master, you are back."

As soon as I returned to the back hall, I saw a woman walking over with a pot of tea.

"Madam, you can just leave these trivial matters to the servants. Why do you have to do it yourself?"

"Xiao Tao made the tea. Xiu Wen just came back. I asked Xiao Tao to help Xiu Wen change clothes."

Huang Yuandao, who was holding the tea cup, suddenly turned gloomy when he heard the word "Xiu Wen".

"Is this traitor going out to gamble again?"

"Master, Xiu Wen is still young, let him go out and have some fun."

"Huh, I'm already over twenty-three years old. When I was as old as him, I would have already been a civil servant."

"Haha, I'm not still a county magistrate now."

Huang Yuandao's face turned red.

"lady!"

"Okay, let's have some tea."

"Oh, madam, please don't spoil this rebellious son."

"Master, Xiuwen is much more sensible than you think. Don't worry."

Since ancient times, there are many loving mothers and strict fathers. Seeing this appearance, he didn't want to say much, so he could only drink tea secretly.

After a while, a handsome young man in Confucian robes came over.

"The child has seen the father, the mother." "Hmph."

Huang Yuandao snorted coldly and said nothing.

Seeing this, the woman stepped forward to help Huang Xiuwen.

"Boy, don't be as knowledgeable as your father, he has such a bad temper."

"Save it, kid."

Huang Xiuwen glanced at Huang Yuandao cautiously. Knowing that his father was angry, he did not touch his brow again.

"Does the mother know what happened to the child on the street today?"

"Oh, but what's interesting?"

"My child went out to the street today and saw a young monk. The young monk claimed to be from Jinshan Temple."

"The eminent monk of Jinshan Temple, have you ever given me a gift in return?"

Huang Xiuwen shook his head.

"My mother doesn't know that the little monk likes to gamble. If the boy hadn't rescued him, he might have fallen into the hands of the Plum Blossom Gang."

The woman frowned slightly.

"Did I see it wrong, my child? Jinshan Temple is full of virtuous monks, why would they go to such a bad place as a gambling house?"

"The child also doesn't know, but the young monk did say that he is from Jinshan Temple and calls himself Pudu."

Hearing the word "Pudu", the woman couldn't help but be startled, and Huang Yuandao, who was sitting there, put the tea cup in his hand on the table and stood up with a livid face: "Sir, do you know what you are talking about? "

Looking at his angry father, Huang Xiuwen looked at the woman aside with confusion.

The woman sighed secretly: "Child, please don't talk nonsense in the future. That little master Pudu is a disciple of Elder Faming of Jinshan Temple. He has a very good reputation in Yonghuai County. He has gone down the mountain countless times just to pray for the deceased."

kindness?
so?
However, it is true that the young monk was in a gambling house.

Huang Xiuwen wanted to say something more, but the woman on the side held his hand and said softly: "Go down and study. Don't make your father angry again."

Huang Xiuwen saluted the two of them, turned around and retreated.

"Sir, what are you arguing about with the child? Where did the wandering monk Xu Fang come from and have a bad reputation? Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Huang Yuandao sat down again and sighed helplessly.

"Master Shen Guan looks very bad today, but what happened today?"

"Alas, a corpse was found at the Fortune Inn today."

Hearing this, the woman frowned again: "But is it the work of the Plum Blossom Gang?"

"It would be great if it was the work of the Plum Blossom Gang, but, alas~"

······
Ignore the county government’s melancholy,

In the gambling house, dozens of fierce men stood uneasily, looking at the corpse on the ground, as if they had felt the prelude of the storm.

Cheng Bao, the leader of the three gangs of the Plum Blossom Gang, was murdered in his own territory. It was a great shame and a challenge to the Plum Blossom Gang.

"Where is the person on duty at the inn today?"

Facing Cheng Long's question, a big man next to him said: "Brother, the five brothers Wang are on duty. Someone saw them leaving the city."

Cheng Hu smiled coldly: "Haha, my brother is dead, and they dare to escape."

Stand up while speaking.

"sit down!"

"Big brother."

"I'll let you sit down."

Facing the cold and stern Cheng Long, Cheng Hu sat down unwillingly.

"Those offenders will be dealt with later. Right now I need to know who is responsible for this. Check the people who entered the store yesterday and question them one by one."

"yes, Sir."

The big man beside him heard this and walked out.

Cheng Long's eyes were cold and stern, full of chills.

Since three years ago, this was the first time someone dared to take action against the Plum Blossom Gang in Yonghuai County.
