Being scolded as a poor widow, I relied on supernatural powers to counterattack in ancient times

Wenyou looked at Xiao Wu, "It's good to have a goal. Only when you know it can you take revenge."

"I will avenge this myself."

Xiao Wu's face was darkened, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.

From the moment he arrived, he felt something was wrong in the atmosphere.Especially when it comes to Liang County.Although the local county magistrate warmly received him, he was always vigilant. Whenever he went out, someone would follow him.

He had always pretended not to know about being followed, and would only leave people behind when things were important.

As soon as he got some clues, he was targeted. Whenever he had to deal with something, someone would always come out to interfere. These people were neither government officials nor ordinary people, and those people gave him the impression that they were like civilian gangs.

The gathering of civil gangs depends entirely on their loyalty and blood in the beginning. Once they reach a large scale, there will be conflicts of interests and there will be no harmony between the gangs.

Because he knew this, he asked someone to get acquainted with one of them in the form of a Jianghu person. As soon as he established trust, he learned that the man was the deputy gang leader of the Hongxing Gang, whose surname was Cao.

The other party also took the initiative to ask him to meet. After the two parties reached an agreement, they agreed on the next meeting time. Unexpectedly, the man disappeared shortly before the date.

He disappeared on this day. He didn't believe it was an accident, so he sent people to conduct secret investigations, but they didn't get much results.

Later, someone secretly sent a message telling him that Deputy Gang Leader Cao had a dispute with the gang leader before he disappeared.

A few days later, Deputy Gang Leader Cao disappeared.

After receiving this news, Xiao Wu's heart sank, thinking that Deputy Gang Leader Cao had once asked him a question about personal secrets, but he didn't say much about the secrets at that time. He originally waited for the next interview to discuss it in detail.

Something went wrong at this juncture. If it was an accident, a three-year-old child wouldn't believe it.

He didn't want to hear the county magistrate contradicting him every day, so he took the trouble to find the person who sent the message.

As soon as we met, we were attacked by a wave of men in black.
Cheng Qian and Cheng Ye resisted with all their strength. He was about to lead the man to retreat, but unexpectedly, the boy realized the danger and ran away.

He took Shuyuan and chased him into a nearby alley. He didn't see anyone, but he encountered another wave of black people.

These people were more powerful than those just now, and they mocked him for not overestimating his abilities.

At that time, he concluded that these people not only knew him, but also knew his identity.

In this way, there is no scruple, which can only mean that the person behind them is either a desperado, or has an official position and is above him.

Fortunately, Sister Wen descended from the sky and helped him solve the obstacle. The other party lost five dead soldiers at once. I wonder if he will become angry and try again?

Wenyou looked at Xiao Wu's thoughtful expression and gave him a disapproving look.
"You shouldn't take risks out at night,"

After listening to Sister Wenwen's lesson, Xiao Wu did not refute, but said softly,
"Ever since I arrived in Liang County, I have felt that something is wrong around me. Someone is tempting me to take the bait. I also want to follow the clues and see what kind of monsters and monsters can be brought out later?"

"It's stupid to run out if you know the other person has lured you into taking the bait."

Listening to Wenyou's unceremonious criticism, before Xiao Wu opened his mouth, Shu Yuan beside him couldn't help it anymore.

"My aunt misunderstood the Fifth Master. We got news that Deputy Gang Leader Cao seemed to be hunted down. That person said that there was a dispute within the Hongxing Gang..."

Before Shuyuan could finish speaking, Wenyou looked at him and frightened him into shutting up immediately.

"Go back first." Wenyou reminded in a low voice.

As soon as the few people turned the alley, Cheng Qian and Cheng Ye caught up with them, clasping their fists.

"Master, everyone over there has been dealt with. I wanted to leave one alive, but I didn't expect that guy actually committed suicide by taking poison." Xiao Wu was not surprised at all by this.These people who dared to come after him already knew his identity. Assassinating a court official was a capital crime. Even if they were captured alive, they would not escape the fate of being beheaded.

Wenyou escorted them back to the hotel. Xiaowu sat on the chair, subconsciously raised his arms and put them on the armrests, and couldn't help frowning.

"You are hurt?"

Wenyou walked over, grabbed his arm, and rolled up his sleeves, revealing a two-inch long wound.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Seeing that his master was injured, Shuyuan's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly went to get the medical bag.

By the time he ran over hurriedly with the medicine bag in his arms, Wenyou had already taken out Jin Chuang Powder and sprinkled it evenly, took out a bandage and tied it tightly, then sat next to him and drank some water.

"You are in a very dangerous situation right now. The other party doesn't want you to check the salt well problem at all. Especially when it comes to private salt, it is even more taboo."

"With such an obvious obstruction, every step you take is planned by others. Even if you find out some information, what will happen?"

Aunt Bai said that the problem of illegal salt has been inevitable in all dynasties. Even if it is finally found out and a few people are killed, it will still appear later.

Wild fire, in spring.

Xiao Wu sat in the chair, frowning and curling his fingers.

"As a magistrate, and in charge of these two counties, if I can't even deal with this problem, what's the point of sitting here as an official?"

Ever since he decided to pursue an official career, his first priority has never been to save the people, but to find a way to secure the chair under his butt.

If you can't sit still without shaking, how can you talk about anything else?

Wenyou looked into his deep eyes and didn't know what to say.

It is said that the first thing a new official does when he takes office is that he only wants to serve the people, but he did not expect to encounter such a difficult situation as soon as he took office.

"Don't take risks. I'll help you find out the forces behind the Hongxing Gang."

Since all the causes started from the Hongxing Gang, she would start there and maybe she could find out the cause.

After listening to Wenyou's suggestion, Xiao Wu thought for a moment and then nodded.
"Then it's Sister Wenxin's fault. Cao Jian, whom we contacted earlier, is at odds with Gang Leader Wang Shunxing. They have different opinions. There should be a breakthrough from this point."

Wenyou nodded and couldn't help but explain before leaving,

"You have been staying at the hotel for the past two days. Don't run around. Aunt Bai and I promised to bring you back safely. If the dignified Lord Zhizhou stays here, won't people laugh out loud if the news spreads?"

Watching Sister Wen disappear into the night sky, Xiao Wu stood by the door, looking at the dark night sky with unpredictable eyes.

His senior brother had already sent him a letter, telling him to calm down and wait patiently.

On the surface, things are calm in Kyoto, but undercurrents are surging among the clans, and partisanship has never ceased.

The clan represented by Prime Minister Mu is at its peak, but Prime Minister Mu is already old and is looking for a suitable successor.

This generation of Mu's children performed mediocrely, and Prime Minister Mu could only look for him among his students or fellow partisans.

You can plan things in the court, but others are not stupid and are all eyeing that position.

Although the position of prime minister is not accessible to ordinary people, it does not prevent others from muddying the waters.
