Chapter 265 Liu Er Gou and County Magistrate Chen Bo

Half an hour later, most of the men in purple were killed, and Li Cunxi also obtained all the information by force.

However, Li Cunxi could not guarantee whether the information was true, so he kept four people alive and waited until they were asked to sign and seal in court so that he could find trouble with Chen Bo, the magistrate of Liang County.

After making the four evil slaves of County Magistrate Chen's mansion kneel on one side, Li Cunxi took a bowl of water and poured it on the man.

The man who had been lying dead for a long time shuddered, immediately sat up, and looked around in panic.

Facing this man who was trying to divert the blame, Li Cunxi had no good temper at all. He looked at the man coldly, smiled sinisterly, and asked, "Name?"

The man looked around in horror. When he saw that almost all the men in purple were dead and the few who survived were kneeling on the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down and kowtowed to Li Cunxi.

"Xiao Liuzhuang, Liu Ergou, thank you for your help!"

"Liu Ergou? You really are a dog." Li Cunxi commented, "Before we attacked, we were just four ordinary fishermen. There were so many directions but you didn't go. Instead, you rushed to the trail with so many people. You really are a dog!"

“If there are only four fishermen here, I’m afraid these dogs like you won’t let us go.” Wu Yanhao also smiled sinisterly.

"You are lucky to meet us. If you didn't have some martial arts skills, you would have been in trouble today." Li Yuanfang also complained.

The so-called greater the ability, the greater the responsibility is actually bullshit. Most people in ancient times were ordinary people.

Ninety-nine percent of people would be unable to cope with such evil slaves in the homes of officials.

Liu Ergou's practice of leading the evil slaves to attack innocent passers-by is based on the idea that it is better to kill a fellow Taoist than to let his own life. After all, it would take time to kill Li Cunxi and others. Liu Ergou might escape while the evil slaves were killing people.

"If it wasn't us today but ordinary villagers, I'm afraid there would be more souls killed by the sword."

Li Cunxi sighed, then reached out and helped Liu Ergou up.

"What happened to you that you were hunted by these people? Who are they?"

When the men in purple heard this, they immediately wanted to say something. But when they looked up, they saw Hu Jinghui standing in front of them with a knife in his hand. He had a strange expression on his face, as if he could not hide his excitement before killing someone.

The few of them didn't dare to speak again. They knelt down quickly, lowered their heads, and looked at the slightly damp ground.

Liu Ergou opened his mouth tremblingly and told a sad story from the past.

He had been wandering outside for a full half month.

Half a month ago, Liu Ergou was still a poor farmer. Although he did not earn much, he had enough food and clothing. No one in his family joined the army, and he was the only child in the family.

Years ago, Liu Ergou's family found him a wife. The couple is very loving, their family is harmonious, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is also good.

They cultivate a few acres of land and go fishing from time to time. Their family is not wealthy, but they still lead a decent life.

Until half a month ago, Liu Wenbin, a wealthy man in Xiaoliu Village, took a fancy to the few acres of land of his family. Taking advantage of Liu Ergou's father's serious illness, he sent a servant to ask for the land deed. The old man refused to give it, so the servant beat Liu Ergou's poor parents to death, and then found the land deed and took it away.

When Liu Ergou returned home, the tragedy had occurred. Liu Ergou and his wife went to Liu Wenbin's house to ask for an explanation, but were beaten up by Liu Wenbin's thugs. Instead of getting an explanation, Liu Ergou's wife was taken to Liu Wenbin's house and told to work like a slave for them as an apology.

Without parents, a roof over his head and a house to live in, and his wife being taken away, Liu Ergou was heartbroken. However, he suppressed his grief and ran to the county government to sue Liu Wenbin.

Unexpectedly, Liu Wenbin had informed the county magistrate Chen Bo early in the morning. Not only did Chen Bo refuse to accept the case, he also beat Liu Ergou with ten boards and threw him out of the county government office, leaving him to fend for himself.

Nine days ago, Liu Ergou, who was living on the streets, heard that a high-ranking official was coming to Liang County. He wanted to find this official to file a complaint, but before he even arrived at the county government office, he was chased everywhere by the evil slaves of the county magistrate's mansion. He was only able to escape today.

After listening to Liu Ergou's narration, Li Cunxi silently brought two grilled fish and let Liu Ergou eat first.

Liu Ergou must have not had a full meal these days as he was being hunted. His life must have been so frustrating.

"You just said that you wanted to complain to that adult. Do you know who that adult is?" Li Cunxi squatted down and asked.

Liu Ergou ate the fish in big mouthfuls and said, "I don't know. It is said that he is a high-ranking official from the capital of the gods. He is young, but he has solved many major cases."

Wu Yanhao frowned and asked, "When did you hear about it?"

"About nine days ago." Liu Ergou said uncertainly.

Li Cunxi touched his chin and turned to Wu Yanhao.

"Nine days ago? We arrived in Liang County in the evening ten days ago. We checked into the inn the next day and went to meet Chen Bo, the magistrate of Liang County."

"That's right, which means that someone knew we were coming before we arrived."

"Not only did someone know our whereabouts very well, but they also informed certain people in Liang County in advance, allowing them to find us."

"This is bad news, Cunxi. I can't believe this is a good thing for us."

The two of them whispered to each other and reached a consensus.

Someone in the court was passing the message to the outside world, and the person who was passing the message to the outside world also knew the specific whereabouts of their trip.

"Cunxi, it looks like we have some work to do." Wu Yanhao said, "Let Liu Ergou come to us to complain, the purpose must be to deal with Chen Bo. It will be easy to deal with as long as we know who Chen Bo's disciple is."

"Well, eat first. We will go back to Liang County to settle accounts with Chen Bo later." Li Cunxi made up his mind and turned to the purple-clothed men. "Behave yourself, or you will soon know how to write the word death. Brother Yuanfang, Brother Jinghui, eat."

The four of them sat in a circle and shared the remaining grilled fish, a pot of fish soup and the grouse. They ate until their throats were full. Then they packed up their things, washed the dishes and chopsticks in water, and packed up everything that needed to be packed.

The few of them took another careful look around and confirmed that nothing was lost before they drove the four evil slaves of the county magistrate's mansion towards Liang County.

Like most counties, Liang County also closes its gates at the hour of Xu. Li Cunxi arrived at the hour of You, showed his token, and swaggered in.

Several evil slaves in the county magistrate's mansion were tied up with ropes, one next to the other. They had to walk around under the gaze of the crowd, and they looked a little embarrassed.

Li Cunxi lifted the curtain of the carriage, his smile growing more intense, and asked the tied-up people in purple:

"I've tied you all up all the way, aren't you curious about who I am?"

The few men in purple didn't dare to ask and just kept shaking their heads.

"You will know soon." Li Cunxi smiled and looked towards the gate of the county government not far away.
