Chapter 37 Shadow!

Squeak.

The door shaft turned inside the door frame, and the door of the martial arts hall was slowly opened by Dou Bao.

"Miss Doubao."

Jia Youcai, who was supporting his old mother, said hello, then turned around and said respectfully, "Master Mu, my lord."

When there were no outsiders, Jia Youcai always called Jason Mu Ye, and only when there were outsiders would he officially address him as the owner of the museum.

As for Li Deshang's appearance?

Jia Youcai was not surprised.

Jia Youcai could recognize the carriage parked outside the door at a glance.

"There was a rat at home, and I have to be on duty at night. I really have no choice but to ask Sister Doubao and Master Mu to help me take care of my old lady."

As Jia Youcai spoke, pleading appeared in his eyes.

"There are mice?"

"That can't be underestimated."

"Jia Youcai, after you finish your duty tonight, bring some people to take a look."

Li Deshang lied for his subordinates.

The chief officer of this mountain city really values ​​Jia Youcai now.

Although Jia Youcai seemed unreliable at ordinary times, he stepped forward several times at critical moments, which was enough for Li Deshang to understand that this was someone he could rely on, and could even be his confidant.

Therefore, he not only promoted Jia Youcai exceptionally, but also urged Jia Youcai to learn martial arts.

At Jia Youcai's age, it's nonsense to learn how high he wants to achieve in martial arts. There is no 'big medicine' to change his physique. It is estimated that he can be regarded as a good talent if he develops 'muscles'.

However, being able to become a martial artist is better than not being able to do anything.

"Yes, my lord."

Jia Youcai raised one hand.

Then, he looked at Jason again.

Jason's gaze first swept over Pudao, whose bloodstains had not been completely removed,

Then, use the dead air sensor to sense it again.

Just killed someone?

or two?

"Doubao, go and arrange for the old lady."

Jason ordered.

"Ma'am, come with me."

Doubao nodded, and then helped Mrs. Li walk towards the martial arts hall.

Watching his old lady enter the martial arts gym, Jia Youcai bowed his hands to Jason and Li Deshang gratefully.

"Stop being polite."

"what happened?"

Li Deshang waved his hand and asked in a low voice.

"It's like this..."

Jia Youcai immediately recounted it.

After the words fell, Li Deshang's face became serious.

"Is it a remnant of the 'Rebirth Teaching'?"

"still……"

"The original six major households in the city?"

The voice of the chief officer of the mountain city was low and cold.

Whether it is the former or the latter, Li Deshang is already an enemy.

The kind that never dies.

Originally, he hadn't thought about rewarding him, but he didn't expect these people to appear so soon and dare to attack his people.

Jason also frowned slightly.

He is now basically sure that the fact that Jia Youcai's old lady was almost kidnapped should be done by the original six major households in 'Shancheng', because, what a coincidence, he just rejected Xu Dashan's intercession from Hongxiangfang, Jia Youcai's old mother almost had an accident at night, and Jia Youcai was still involved in the whole process.

only……

Are these big players too bold?

Or, what is there to rely on?

Jason raised his eyes to look at Li Deshang, and Li Deshang happened to look at Jason too.

The two looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.

"I'll go back and gather the soldiers, and first surround the houses of those big families."

"Jia Youcai, you sent a team of people straight to Li Laizi's place, and I arrested him. He must be alive."

Li Deshang didn't hide anything, and said directly.

"Yes, my lord."

As soon as Jia Youcai cupped his hands, he walked towards the carriage.

A few seconds later, the yamen servant who was driving the car and several police officers acting as bodyguards ran towards the outside of Wuguan Street.

Looking at his departing subordinates, Li Deshang turned around and bowed to Jason.

"If something happens later, I will have to rely on you, Brother Mu."

"I really appreciate Brother Mu."

"Brother Yu didn't want to say such words at first, but if he didn't say it, he felt that he didn't know what to do, so Brother Yu said it again."

Li Deshang bowed again as he spoke.

Li Deshang knew what happened in the martial arts hall today.

His heart is full of gratitude.

Because of this, I feel more guilty.

Because, he thought he didn't help Jason, but Jason helped him again and again.

Just like this moment.

The guilt and gratitude in the heart of this mountain city official made him not know what to do.

Originally, I wanted to bury my kindness in my heart.

But now, he is not complaining.

"Please treat me to dinner when it's over."

Jason said so.

Li Deshang, who was still conflicted in his heart at the last moment, didn't know what to do. After hearing such words, Li Deshang immediately nodded and said, "No problem, even if I'm trying to sell everything, I still want to treat Brother Mu to dinner."

After finishing speaking, Li Deshang's face was pained.

Inviting him, brother Mu, to dinner is really painful.

At least his small treasury can't be kept.

Some of these quietly accumulated items also had to be sold.

However, he has no regrets.

Even if he was sent to Zuixianlou to wash dishes, he would not regret it.

This in itself was what he owed his brother Mu.

Seeing Li Deshang with a pained face, Jason smiled.

The reason why he is willing to continue to cooperate with Li Deshang is because of Li Deshang's strict adherence to his duties. This is his personality—as long as he owes others, Li Deshang will definitely pay it back, even if it hurts so much.

Is there anything better than a good partner?

Naturally, if you owe something, you will pay back twice as much.

Li Deshang is such a person.

"Brother Gou Sheng, would you like to go to Hongxiangfang with me?"

Jason invited.

"certainly."

Li Deshang smiled.

Although it is impossible to determine whether the matter in front of him has something to do with Hongxiangfang, since the old owner of Hongxiangfang acted as a lobbyist, the other party may know a thing or two about this matter.

The carriage remained where it was.

Jason and Li Deshang walked side by side.

Jia Youcai wiped it clean, and Pu Dao followed behind.

Hongxiangfang is also on Wuguan Street, and it doesn't take much time to walk from Mushi Wuguan to Hongxiangfang.

Moreover, it seems that because Xu Dashan came back today, the sale of the hidden market in Hongxiangfang was not open. At this time, there was only a little candlelight outside the lantern in front of the door.

Bang, bang, bang!

Jia Youcai knocked on the door and announced his identity.

After a while, Xu Dashan greeted him personally.

The three of Jason were brought into the living room, and tea and pastries were quickly served.

"Master Li, Master Mu, who are you visiting late at night?"

Xu Dashan asked.

His eyes kept turning around Li Deshang and Jason, guessing their reason for coming.

Jason and Li Deshang didn't speak, the latter just said something lightly.

"Jia Youcai, tell Mr. Xu what happened just now."

Jia Youcai immediately stood up and preached in detail.

Halfway through Jia Youcai's speech, Xu Dashan's back broke out in cold sweat.

asshole!

Damn it!

The old club cursed from the bottom of his heart.

He had guessed a lot just now, what was it worth Jason and Li Deshang to come to him together.

However, it never occurred to me that this would be the case.

He never thought that those six big households in the city who begged him to come forward would do such a thing, but at this moment, Xu Dashan couldn't care less.

"Sorry, Butou Jia."

Xu Dashan first bowed to Jia Youcai, then he bowed to Li Deshang, and said, "Master Li atones for his sins, this old man has absolutely nothing to do with this matter."

Jia Youcai dodged the salute with a sideways move.

He is a man with an old lady, and he absolutely cannot accept a gift from someone who is about the same age as his old lady.

He is not afraid of losing his life.

I'm afraid that my wife will be implicated.

Li Deshang sat there without moving.

He accepted Xu Dashan's salute as the chief officer of 'Mountain City'.

"Then tell me the ins and outs of this matter."

Li Deshang sat there, looking at Xu Dashan.

"Because I got some news before, saying that there was a lot of trouble in the "Rebirth Sect" recently, I am going to take refuge in the state capital temporarily, and then, when you come back, you, my lord, will clean up the world. I agree with this, but the six major households in the city used to I have a good relationship with the old man, and there are a few people who know the basics, when I came to beg, the old man was moved with compassion, and couldn't help but mention something to the owner of the museum."

"The ins and outs of the whole thing are like this. The old man just softened his heart for a while. He absolutely didn't get any benefits involved in it, and he didn't get any promises."

Xu Dashan said righteously.

Li Deshang looked at Xu Dashan, and basically didn't believe a word of the old owner of Hongxiangfang.

What compassion.

What a soft heart.

Nothing is of interest.

It should be that the six major households in the city promised great benefits, and then, the old owner of Hongxiangfang couldn't help being tempted, so he took the risk.

Moreover, the other party is quite cautious.

Instead of looking for him, he looked for his brother Mu.

Looking for him, once he refuses, there is no room for turning around.

Looking for his brother Mu, even if he is rejected, he still has to raise the price.

What an old man.

Doing things can be called watertight.

just tonight...

Li Deshang's palm lightly hit the armrest of the chair back several times, and his eyes were fixed on Xu Dashan.

"I don't know anything about Butou Jia and Butou Jia's mother."

"This should be the idea of ​​those big households. They want to get back what they lost, but they don't dare to go too far, so... they chose Jia Butou as their target."

Xu Dashan bowed to Jia Youcai as he apologized again.

Jia Youcai dodged again.

Xu Dashan wanted to worship again, but was interrupted by Li Deshang.

The chief officer of the 'Mountain City' sneered, and counted: "Don't dare to do too much? It's just that the chief officer expects that it is difficult to do anything in the yamen, and Brother Mu is so strong in martial arts, they don't dare to do it at all. That's why I chose Jia Youcai, hey!"

Speaking of this, Li Deshang sneered again.

In his heart, murderous intent suddenly arises.

He originally planned to let the rest of the big households in the city live, but now it seems that he is still soft-hearted.

The weeds are endlessly burned, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates!

You have to cut the weeds and get rid of the roots!

Li Deshang clenched his fist in his sleeve, making a secret decision in his heart.

Xu Dashan looked at Li Deshang. Although he didn't see the clenched fists under his sleeves, he could clearly see the coldness in Li Deshang's eyes. Suddenly, he sighed secretly in his heart.

He knew that the six major households in the city were really doomed this time.

If there was still a glimmer of life before, it is really a dead end now.

'Li Deshang is so murderous! '

'Why didn't you see it before? '

'Obviously a scholar. '

Just when Xu Dashan was sighing, Jason, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

"The 'Rebirth Teaching' is making a big fuss?"

"Yes, the 'Rebirth Cult' is not only in the 'Mountain City', there are also believers in the state capital, and it is even rumored that there are also in Beidu and Shudu."

"They form a secret society and unify the secret language. It is difficult for outsiders to intervene. Even if they want to secretly investigate, it is difficult. The empire sent many spies, but they never returned."

"Especially the altar masters in various state capitals, each one is a generation with high martial arts skills."

"And, and..."

Xu Dashan, who had always been happy, suddenly stuttered.

"what else?"

Li Deshang asked.

Xu Dashan didn't speak immediately, but got up and closed the door of the hall, then returned to the three of them, and said in a low voice, "There are still 'God Envoys'!"

"An angel?"

Li Deshang heard this term for the first time.

Jia Youcai was even more bewildered. He didn't even know the existence of the "Walking Rebirth Sect" in the state capital. He only thought that the "Wangsheng Sect" was a cult force that had sprung up near the "Mountain City".

Jason, on the other hand, looked calm.

Even, faintly with expectations.

After all, the [Blood Mist Evil Qi Bead] tastes good.

"Yes, envoys, there are rumors that they can come and go without a trace, and can take people's lives without anyone noticing—someone said that the reason why all the spies sent by the empire never returned is because of these envoys! "

Xu Dashan said in a voice that only a few people could hear.

"These?"

"There is more than one envoy?"

Li Deshang grasped the key words.

"right!"

"According to some information collected by our Hongxiangfang, there are at least four envoys of the 'Rebirth Cult', which are just collected. As for whether there are more, I can't be sure."

Xu Dashan spoke truthfully.

Moreover, without waiting for Li Deshang to ask, he added.

"These four envoys are three men and one woman. The exact ages cannot be confirmed, but they are all ruthless people."

"Except for the fact that the woman did not show her actual strength, one of the three male angels can breathe out flames and melt gold into iron; The remaining one is the most difficult to deal with, not only elusive, but also capable of stealing people's souls and killing people invisible."

"The four of them never appeared at the same time."

"But only one person came out every time, and it stirred up a lot of wind and rain, which made people frightened."

As Xu Dashan said, Li Deshang frowned.

He had never heard of any divine envoy.

But what Xu Dashan said in front of him was a little unbelievable to him.

Breathing flames from the mouth, melting iron and iron into gold.

Frost flew between fists and feet, and the living people froze.

There is also the ability to steal people's souls and kill people invisible.

This is rumored to be something that even a great martial artist who 'practices skin' can't do, right?

Perhaps in the legend, warriors can reach a higher level?

But it's impossible, right?

Is there such a master in the "Rebirth Teaching"?

Li Deshang was thinking from the bottom of his heart, his face became serious again.

He thought he had overestimated the 'Rebirth Teaching', but unexpectedly he underestimated it.

'It must be written to the state government office again. '

‘Strictly guard against death! '

Li Deshang thought to himself.

Jason suddenly realized that the envoy with the [Blood Mist Evil Qi Bead] should be the most difficult one among the so-called three male envoys.

'I don't know what'food' the remaining three envoys will bring. '

Jason guessed the taste of the food.

His eyes turned to the outside of the hall.

Step, step.

There was a sound of rapid running, and a policeman ran in scrambling.

"My lord, Boss, Lord Mu, something is wrong!"

"Dead, all dead!"

"And, and..."

The catcher said in a sobbing voice.

His voice was stammering, and he couldn't even speak fully, obviously frightened.

Suddenly, all four people present stood up.

"Calm down, what happened?"

Jia Youcai said to his subordinates.

"Boss, my lord has killed all the six families we surrounded!"

"And, and..."

"Come with me, and you will know it at a glance."

As he spoke, the policeman glanced at Jason in horror, then he didn't dare to speak at all, but just led the way.

Jason was the first to follow.

There was no malice on this policeman, nor any dead spirit, but his heart was beating extremely fast, coupled with the panic on his face and the way he looked at him just now, it was enough to show that the other party saw something terrible.

Moreover, this thing is related to him.

Li Deshang and Jia Youcai followed without hesitation.

Xu Dashan hesitated for a moment before following.

He didn't want to go.

However, Xu Dashan is very clear that now he has been involved.

If you go there, you can take the initiative a little bit.

If you do nothing and just wait here, you will be truly passive.

As a fairly successful businessman, Xu Dashan is too aware of the importance of taking the initiative.

He raised his hand and waved towards the follower.

Immediately, more than a dozen strong men with sticks came out, divided into two teams, one team was guarding Hongxiangfang, and the other team followed Xu Dashan.

Li Deshang and Jia Youcai glanced at each other, but said nothing.

What is Hongxiangfang, both of you know you.

It is only natural to have these people.

As for bringing some?

I can also understand.

Anyway, with Mubai around, they weren't worried.

And, they're not nobody.

A team of 20 musketeers followed behind the carriage when they left Wuguan Street, and those men with sticks followed behind the better side, and in front of them was a team of five arresters holding high torches.

Jia Youcai was driving, and Jason, Li Deshang and Xu Dashan were sitting in the car.

Without any obstacles along the way, the group arrived at the mansion of the Zhang family, a big family in the city.

The policemen and government servants surrounded the place layer by layer.

When he saw Jason walking down from the carriage, like the previous policeman, fear flashed in his eyes.

Jason frowned.

Without stopping, he walked straight into the mansion.

Corpse!

From the corridor to the hall, there are corpses all the way!

A dead body that was blown up abruptly!

And on the wall next to the vertical flower gate of the second entrance courtyard, there are five big characters written in blood——

Murderer, Mubai!
