Lord of the Desert

Chapter 154
Northeast of Jinhai City.

There are many torches, illuminating the night like day.

Headed by Lieutenant Hong Cheng, the capital of the City Defense Department, Zhu Yiqi and Xiaoyong Cavalry as the backbone, and a team composed of over a thousand soldiers from the City Defense Department, surrounded the entire Li Mansion.

This is a rare bustle for the people of the city.

From outside the front street of Li's Mansion, where the military was under martial law, happy people who heard the news crowded everywhere.

Like Hong An, Hong Fu and other young children with sharp legs and feet, they even climbed walls and houses, wishing to grow two pairs of moves.

At the beginning of Haishi (nine o'clock in the evening).

Hong Jian, Zheng Zhun, and Gongsun Shi escorted Xiao Twelve to the Chengshou Mansion.

On the other side, Liao Zhenghao and Hong Wu were responsible for finishing the suppression of the Li family.

A quarter of an hour later, the city defense department forcibly separated the crowd with guns.

Hong Fan and others arrived at the main gate of Li Mansion.

There are thousands of elite soldiers, more than [-] are connected, seven are in the state of chaos, and four are in harmony with heaven and man...

For the Li family who lost their swords and cranes, this is already overwhelming.

Martial law has been imposed in Li's residence.

The gate is open, and only the two sides are sealed to reject the horse, which seems to show a clear conscience.

Li Licheng, the second master of the Li family, stood in front of the threshold wearing armor and pressing his saber, followed by dozens of fully armed Wudang cavalry.

As for the courtyard walls on both sides, there are hundreds of soldiers holding bows and knives on guard.

The two sides confront each other, and the streets are full of awe.

Pointed at by hundreds of powerful arrows, Hong Fan and his party stood still outside the gate.

Hong Wu and Liao Zhenghao exchanged glances, stepped forward and spoke loudly.

"I am Jin Haizheng Liupin City Judge Hongwu."

"Listen up, men, women and children inside!"

"The high-ranking members of the Li family collaborated with the rebels from the Fantian Society, and the Snakeman conspired to destroy Jinhai. The evidence is convincing."

"According to the order of Lord Chengshou and the entrustment of Gongsun Wujian, Liao Shoubei and I are now going to clean up the Li Mansion and pay off the remnants."

"Now I order you to kneel down and disarm immediately."

"If you resist in the corner, don't say that you are unpredictable!"

A few words spread out loudly, causing an uproar in the audience.

One of the three families in Jinhai, Li Tong Snake, this news is too big and too sudden.

The people watching the excitement in the streets and alleys were skeptical.

Wu Dangqi and the Li family's children felt that they had suffered an injustice, and their faces turned red.

"impossible!"

"Your Hong family is spitting blood!"

"I want to add a crime..."

Shouting and howling sounded one after another on the long street.

Until a thunderclap exploded.

It was Liao Zhenghao who stomped down and crushed a bluestone slab into pieces.

"This matter is confidential. It's normal for you to be kept in the dark, but what the Hongcheng judge said just now has been proved by witnesses."

He shouted in a rough voice, and before he had time to explain, his big copper bell eyes stared at Li Licheng who was dozens of steps away.

"Licheng, I just want to ask you, do you know about this?"

Li Licheng was silent when he heard the words.

He has served as a captain under Liao Zhenghao for many years, and he has been colleagues with Hong Cheng for many years.

After a while, the second master of the Li family just shook his head indiscriminately.

Seeing this, Hong Fan spoke out loudly.

"Second Master Li, you say you don't know about this, I believe you."

"Do you believe what the Hongcheng judge just said about Li Heming's connection with foreign races?"

he sneered.

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the back garden of the mansion now to see the tunnel that comes in from under the northern city wall, and the exit is there."

Li Licheng was silent again, neither speaking nor moving.

At this point, what else does Liao Zhenghao not understand?
"Li Licheng, you and I have worked together for many years, and have also killed enemies side by side..."

"I really can't think of it, you actually want to kill me?!"

He scolded angrily, clutching the handle of the knife, but there was sadness in his eyes.

Under the high gate, Li Licheng let go of the handle of the knife, and he no longer had the face to look at his boss.

"Second Master Li seems to have acquiesced."

Hong Fan continued to speak.

"The matter of Litong Snake Man was planned with Fantianshe and Li Heming at the core."

"Tonight in the Hong Mansion, in front of Lord Zheng and Lord Gongsun, Li Heming has already confessed."

But even if he said so, most people still refused to accept it.

"You talk in empty words, who knows the truth?"

"If we want to disarm and surrender, unless the family lord personally orders it!"

A disciple of the Li family shouted.

At this point, Hong Fan finally waved his hand back.

After death, exposing the corpse on the street is a severe punishment on the same level as digging a grave in Dahua.

But now there is no other way.

The soldiers yielded to the side of the road.

A rough horse pulled a cart covered with white cloth from behind, and it stopped in front of Li's residence.

Hong Fan walked to the side of the car and lifted the cloth.

Everyone looked along the flames and saw a dead body lying on the cart.

His chest was charcoal black, and his clothes were ragged.

But after cleaning his face, he was so handsome and clear that people in Jinhai could recognize him at a glance.

It is the deity of Jianminghejue.

Seeing Li Heming's dead body, the Li family members seemed to have their bones removed in an instant.

The people watching the excitement also stopped talking for a moment.

On the long street, the atmosphere turned to ice for a moment.

After receiving Hong Fan's signal, Hong Sheng took out another wooden box.

Open the lid, revealing the head of Xiao Shisan.

"The Fantian Club was formed by the descendants of the rebellious kings 200 years ago. The two people sent to Jinhai this time were named Xiao Shishi and Xiao Shisan, and they took shelter of Wudangqi."

Hong Fan said loudly.

"The former has been captured alive, and the head of the latter is here."

Hong Sheng moved the wooden box to the torch.

When everyone followed the light, they could clearly see the mixed gold blood dripping from the broken neck.

Gold in the blood is a characteristic of the noble species of the first-class aristocratic family.

And Xiao Shisan's face is not only Wudangqi, but also many people in the Li family recognize him.

Two-phase evidence, there is no more noise for a while.

And the Li family boy who questioned just now swallowed his saliva, faintly unable to hold the sword.

"Everyone, I've run out of good words."

Hong Fan put the white cloth back on the body, turned around and said.

"Think back and think about Haifei's abnormal situation some time ago, why Gong Quan's Lu family suddenly got the news, and why Li Heming suddenly insisted on moving the family..."

He scanned the people on the wall with awe-inspiring eyes.

"I have something to say first, and I have something to say now."

"If you don't cooperate later, you will be punished as open resistance to the law!"

No one answered.

Hong Fan knew the fire was coming.

Under the eyes of everyone, he put his hands behind his back, stepped into the formation in a commoner suit, and passed through the encirclement of Wudang cavalry holding swords on both sides, as if entering a land of no one.

Under the plaque at the gate of Li's house, Hong Fan stood still in front of Li Licheng.

The second master of the Li family is tall.

He clenched his fists and looked down at the most outstanding junior of Jin Hai's generation.

"Second Master Li still dare to look at me?"

Hong Fan looked at him and said with a smile.

"Why can't I look at it?"

Li Licheng clenched his fists and asked back.

Hong Fan laughed when he heard this.

"Heh, Captain Li dares to look at me, but he doesn't know if he dares to look at the people behind me?"

He turned and pointed.

"If your plan is successful, they will all die at the hands of the snake people."

"And Jinhai City will also be reduced to a forest monster!"

Hong Fan stepped aside as he spoke.

Li Licheng gritted his teeth and took a few breaths, but he couldn't raise his eyes after all.

Finally, he let go of his clenched fist.

"Hong Fan."

Li Licheng called out.

"You broke our business?"

He glanced at the center of the street, seeing Liao Zhenghao, Hong Wu and others letting Hong Fan take the lead, as if he had realized something.

"Today's game, you set it up?"

"it's me."

Hong Fan replied.

"In that case, the Li family should thank you."

Li Licheng sighed, unsheathed the long knife at his waist, and threw it on the ground.

"I will go to the city guard's mansion later, and please Li Duwei to tell the whole story."

Hong Fan said.

"Should be."

Li Licheng nodded.

"That's offended."

As Hong Fan said, he stepped up and punched.

Li Licheng didn't defend himself either, and let the blow land on his dantian.

The flow of heat pours in like a sea tide, burning the meridians and abolishing the cultivation base.

The second master of the Li family staggered back two steps, sitting down on the threshold of the Li residence like a mountain falling.

"Hey, ok!"

He was in severe pain, but he laughed loudly regardless of the blood staining his front.

"For a year, when I wake up, I feel like a dream, and when I dream, I feel like waking up..."

"I am so relaxed."

PS: There are fewer and fewer manuscripts, and I feel that I can't keep up with the two updates every day. How can I worry about it...
