"By the way, what did you want to see me about?"
Only then did Li Yuan ask the question.
"Oh, look, I forgot!" Liu He slapped his forehead. "This morning, someone from the government came to deliver a message that last night, warriors from the outer city launched a surprise attack on the four gates of the inner city, resulting in many deaths."
"And... there's no trace of his remains!!!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan's expression immediately turned serious. The body was gone... killing is killing, but this... is not normal!
"The head has gone into seclusion, so you need to go to the government office right away."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Li Yuan knew this was a serious matter, so he immediately set off.
However, before leaving, he reminded Liu He not to forget what he had been asked to do, since he couldn't be the kind of person who took the benefits and didn't do the job.
Li Yuan arrived at the yamen soon.
Before entering, he controlled the qi and blood in his body, instantly lowering his aura to a freezing point to prevent others from sensing his presence.
"Health-preserving exercises are really great!"
If it's an external martial art, even if you can control your qi and blood, it's still easy for someone with strong abilities to sense it.
A side hall of the yamen (government office).
There was already one person when Li Yuan arrived.
"Greetings, Chief Constable Song."
He stepped forward to greet him, after all, he was still the head constable, merely acting as the head of the Southern Police Station.
"Huang Wei really knows how to have fun."
Chief Constable Song's words were full of sarcasm, but his eyes revealed envy. If he could, he would also like to be a hands-off manager, but unfortunately, he didn't have the background.
"Perhaps Chief Constable Huang has reached a crucial moment in his cultivation."
He's his boss, after all; you have to take his side when he speaks.
"Only you would believe that."
Chief Constable Song was full of disdain. In his opinion, if Huang Wei was really such a genius, he wouldn't have been stuck at the eighth rank for so long.
As for what caused that injury?
He thought it was just a joke.
"What are you saying?"
Just then, Chief Constable Xu walked in. As the oldest of the five chief constables, he naturally had higher prestige.
Even Chief Constable Song nodded slightly in greeting.
Li Yuan was no exception.
"These are turbulent times, so the five of us chief constables should work together. Besides, Huang Wei did a good job last time."
Chief Constable Xu spoke up.
He had obviously heard what was said.
Last time?
At the mention of this, Chief Constable Song's expression turned somewhat strange. "Alright, let's wait for Master Gou to arrive before we discuss it further."
Li Yuan chuckled inwardly.
It seems Huang Wei really messed with him last time.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so sarcastic just now!
Not long after, the other chief constables arrived, followed by the people from the three major families.
The Yang family member is still Yang Zhong.
Li Yuan glanced at him briefly.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Yang Pei had actually asked him to take special care of Yang Zhong's business. This was tantamount to calling him a traitor to the Yang family!
"Big families are just different."
However, Yang Zhong was whispering something with the other two families and didn't notice what was happening here.
soon.
Master Gou arrived, followed by Fu Feng.
"Greetings, Master Gou."
Everyone stood up and bowed slightly.
"Please sit down."
After pressing his hands together, Master Gou sat down first, while Fu Feng sat down next to Chief Constable Xu.
"You all probably already know what happened."
"The outer city launched a night raid on the four gates of the inner city, and all of them were martial artists, the highest of whom was seventh rank. Many of the garrison soldiers were killed."
What do you think?
After saying that, he glanced down, but... neither the five chief constables nor the people from the three major families showed any intention of speaking.
Everyone in the yamen knows Master Gou's personality; this visit is most likely just a formality.
"Since none of you are speaking, then listen to what this advisor has to say."
"From this day forward, we must have a master in charge."
"But... the government offices don't have enough staff!"
As he said this, he looked towards the three major families.
It's to get people from the three major families!
Li Yuan immediately understood.
The three major families lost many people in the last battle with the rebels, so they directly recalled their martial artists. After all, it takes a lot of effort to train even a ninth-rank martial artist.
They can't afford to lose that.
In the side hall, the members of the three major families remained silent, as if they hadn't heard anything!
Seeing this, Master Gou narrowed his eyes. He had guessed that this was the situation, but did he really want to stand idly by?
"Your three families must send someone!"
If you don't appreciate my kindness, then I'll just be direct.
"Master Gou, our three families suffered heavy losses last time, and our businesses are all based on maritime transport, which requires a large number of experts. I estimate that we can't spare many people, at most one or two ninth-rank experts."
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man.
"One or two ninth-rank officials? Jiang Lin, are you joking with me?"
"How could I dare? It is indeed so. As you know, Master Gou, although the rebels have occupied the outer city, they have been frequently seen in Baoshan River recently. For the safety of entering and leaving, almost all of the family's experts have been put into transportation."
"A few days ago, another ship was intercepted! The entire family was killed!"
Jiang Lin said with grief and indignation, almost in tears, "Please, Master Gou, investigate this matter thoroughly!"
But Master Gou remained unmoved, instead turning to the other two, "What about your two families?"
"The Yang family's situation is the same!"
"The Qin family is the same!"
Both of them spoke up.
"hehe!"
Master Gou suddenly laughed.
Fu Feng below knew that he was burning with rage.
I never expected the three major families to be so ungrateful.
"good!"
"You three families haven't had it easy either, so..."
'
He turned to Fu Feng and ordered, "Give the order to reinforce all four gates with molten iron. All garrison troops are to go up to the city walls, and if anyone approaches, shoot them dead!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three members of the three major families changed drastically. If the four gates were forged with molten iron, it would completely cut off their business.
"Master Gou, if that's the case, none of the grain can get in, and the inner city will definitely be in chaos."
"Let it be chaotic!"
"It's better than the rebels breaching the inner city."
Master Gou sighed.
Jiang Lin and the other two exchanged glances. Finally, the other two nodded slightly. "Please prepare for our return, Master Gou, to discuss whether we can spare some martial artists."
"Well... alright, but hurry. If I don't receive any news before sunset, then pour the concrete for the four gates!"
"yes!"
The three bowed in response and then hurriedly left the side hall.
"You worthless bastard!"
After the three left, Master Gou cursed in a cold voice.
"Alright, you can all go back now. That's how things are arranged. You..."
'
He pointed at Li Yuan, "Huang Wei is in seclusion, your strength is a bit lacking... Let's observe first, and if there are any problems, inform Fu Feng!"
"Thank you, Master Gou!"
Li Yuan replied immediately.
"What exactly is the relationship between Master Gou and Huang Wei?"
This was the biggest question in his mind.
He also asked Qiu Tong, but only knew that they had a close relationship, without knowing the specifics.
"What?"
Yang Zhonggang had just returned to the Yang family and hadn't even had a chance to see Yang Jing when he heard that several of his businesses were being targeted by the Southern Police Station.
His face contorted with anger.
"Is the eldest son's situation just a coincidence?"
"Several other industries have also run into trouble!"
The servant quickly said.
"Huang Wei, I'll fuck your mother!"
