Chapter 12 Is it you?
"What a great Cai Zhong! I underestimated him!"
In Bai'an County Zuichunlou, a young man of about 17 or 18 years old was quietly holding a wine glass, but his eyes were full of anger. In his eyes, he was just a prisoner, and he could easily deal with him.
But it was this prisoner who caused him to lose two generals, and he even ran away. This made him even more upset. For this reason alone, Cai Zhong deserved to die!
He did not think that he did anything wrong. Once the county magistrate's memorial was submitted, with irrefutable evidence of the Cai family's numerous crimes over the years, the capital would surely issue an imperial decree, and the entire Cai family would be unable to escape.
He was already giving face to Cai Zhong by letting someone send him off. But Cai Zhong was shameless and not only killed his people, but also ran away. He deserved death!
"Find Cai Zhong and kill him. This matter must not reach my father's ears!"
"Yes, sir!"
The shadow in the dark quietly disappeared, but the young man in the room could no longer suppress his anger and kicked the table over. The new county magistrate was a fool who couldn't even let his own dog have its day!
"Someone, bring me two more women!"
While the nobleman was venting his anger, Shen Yu walked out of the prison with an ugly face. He had just checked and found that all the people in the Cai family had been poisoned to death, except for the two men in black, who seemed to have their blood drained out. And this was obviously not a trick.
When Shen Yu thought about this unknown world of Jianghu, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. Who could know how many strange martial arts existed under this deep water?
Could this person be hiding in Bai'an County? Could this person be related to Cai Zhong? Would this person cause trouble for me in the future...
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Shen Yu was helpless in the end. He couldn't determine who the person was, let alone catch him. In the end, he could only issue an arrest warrant for Cai Zhong, but he didn't know if it would be useful. What if a blind cat meets a dead mouse?
The most important thing now is to find ways to strengthen your own strength. Only by being strong can you be invincible!
"Sir, the county lieutenant and several gentry invite you to a banquet at Zuichunlou!"
At this time, the lawyer came hurriedly with an invitation in his hand. It must be said that once Cai Zhong, the county magistrate, fell, the entire Bai'an County was almost reshuffled, and everyone wanted to curry favor with Shen Yu, the county magistrate.
"Zuichunlou? A brothel!" Shen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and took the invitation. He accepted the invitation purely to give the county lieutenant a face, not to see what a brothel looks like. Well, this is the main reason.
But then again, since he came to this world, he has never seen what a brothel looks like. But for some reason, he was a little excited. Ahem, I am a gentleman.
The purpose of this trip is just to get to know the local gentry in Bai'an County. Yes, just to make friends!
After returning to the county government office and changing into scholar's clothes, Shen Yu took Zhou Yuan to the street. The time on the invitation was evening, but it was still daytime, and Zuichunlou was probably not open. Shen Yu went to the street to understand the people's sentiments and to see if there was any opportunity to do justice.
After all, it was still early, so the more time I could sign in, the better. When the time was almost up, I would just go there. Tsk tsk, a brothel, I wonder what it would look like.
Following Shen Yu, Zhou Yuan, who was dressed in casual clothes, was also helpless. The county magistrate always took him with him, which completely ruined his idea of playing both sides. Now he was completely marked as the county magistrate and could never take it off.
This young county magistrate doesn't look very old, but he is a very evil person.
"Run, why don't you run?" A vicious voice suddenly came into my ears. I looked in the direction of the voice and saw five or six strong men sandwiching a weak girl in the middle.
The girl looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, beautiful, pure, shy, and with eyes full of glances. Most importantly, she looked youthful and lively, with a sunshine that was rare for ordinary people. The fresh and natural aura that emanated from her was the most attractive.
"Don't come over here. Do you know who I am?" Surrounded by these strong men, the girl's face was obviously a little flustered. "In broad daylight, don't you fear the law?"
"The king's law? Haha, in Bai'an County, our Feihu Hall is the king's law!"
"Oh!" Shen Yu, who was about to come over to rescue people, couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. Then, as the county magistrate, shouldn't he add a sentence, such a powerful person is not allowed in Bai'an County!
Although the people around who saw this scene pointed and talked, no one dared to step forward to stop them, allowing a few strong men to surround a weak little girl. When they snatched the little girl back, it would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
"Sir, it's someone from Feihu Hall!"
"Flying Tiger Gang? The number one gang in Bai'an County!" Shaking the fan in his hand, Shen Yu's face showed a hint of dissatisfaction. "The Flying Tiger Gang is so arrogant that they dare to rob women in the street?"
"Your Excellency may not know that the Flying Tiger Hall has deep roots in Bai'an County and is very powerful. There are hundreds of members and several second-rate masters. It is rumored that the head of the Flying Tiger Hall is a first-rate master. I am ashamed that I have been practicing hard for many years but can only reach the second-rate realm!"
"Before, County Magistrate Cai Zhong seemed to have made an agreement with Feihu Hall, telling them not to easily cause trouble during the day. Today, for some reason, they actually violated the agreement and dared to rob a woman in broad daylight!"
"You mean, it was because I captured Cai Zhong that the agreement between the government and Feihu Hall was broken?"
"I dare not!"
"You are not allowed to cause trouble during the day? Does that mean you can do whatever you want at night? If you are trying to get the skin of a tiger, you deserve death!"
"Okay, just say whatever you want!" Zhou Yuan listened to Shen Yu's words quietly, not daring to say anything easily, but he had to admit that Shen Yu was right.
Bai'an County looked peaceful during the day, but at night it was full of hooligans and riots. Not only did ordinary people not dare to go out easily, even the yamen runners did not dare to go out easily.
"Little girl, just come back with us obediently to avoid physical pain!" Walking towards the girl step by step, several people showed smug smiles on their faces, as if the girl in front of them was already in their pockets.
They have been in the streets of Bai'an County for so long, and have never encountered such a thing. Whether it is reselling it or handing it over to the hall master, it is a successful big deal. Especially since the other party seems to be an outsider, how can such a good opportunity let him run away!
Don't look at her struggling now, there are many masters to train her in Feihu Hall. Over the years, so many people have acted like chaste women, but in the end, they all obeyed obediently.
The big hand grabbed forward, and a ferocious smile appeared on the sturdy man's face. They seemed to see the scene in the future when they would be promoted, get a raise, and be reused by the hall master.
"Stop!" Just when the girl was about to be caught, Shen Yu shouted, and walked out quietly with a folding fan in his hand, his eyes were quite cold. In addition, with the momentum he gradually developed, he was really a bit intimidating when he appeared.
"A mere scholar also wants to learn to be a hero and save the beauty? Little kid, have you been weaned? Haha!" After a brief daze, several strong men began to laugh as if to regain their face that had just been shocked.
He is just a scholar, what is there to be afraid of? In this day and age, what else can scholars do besides talking nonsense? They are from the Flying Tiger Hall, what do they have to fear from the entire Bai'an County?
"Brothers, first loosen up this little scholar, and then take him and this little girl away. Let the people of Bai'an County know about this, so that no one dares to interfere in the affairs of our Feihu Hall!"
Two sturdy men walked forward with a fierce smile and surrounded Shen Yu. The scholar in front of him looked delicate and his smooth face had sharp edges and corners. The key was his temperament, which many people would probably like.
They have been in this business for a long time, so they naturally know that not only beautiful women can make money, but handsome scholars like this are even more valuable, and there are a lot of people who like this style. Today, this scholar came to the door himself, so don't blame him for being rude!
"How is this possible?" However, the two strong men just swung their fists and flew out at an even faster speed, with large mouthfuls of blood spurting out from the corners of their mouths. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that the two men even had some dents on their chests.
"You tough bastard! We are from the Flying Tiger Hall, how dare you?"
"I am attacking people from the Flying Tiger Hall. What do you want to do by attacking an official appointed by the imperial court in broad daylight?"
"This official? You, you are not that little county magistrate? Is it you?"
