Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 166 Why Use a Knife to Kill People
County government office, inner courtyard.

The house was brightly lit, with two silhouettes printed on the windows.

"Sir, I have accomplished my mission and have sent the person to Shiwan Daze."

Xiang Ting looked at Zhuang Renhe respectfully.

"very good."

Zhuang Renhe, who was in a depressed mood today, heard a rare piece of good news.

Xiang Ting was his personal bodyguard when he was the banker. He was good in martial arts, but more importantly, he was also good at doing things properly. Many shameful things were done by Xiang Ting.

Xiang Ting said worriedly, "Sir, on the way back, I passed by Chunyan Tower and saw that the door was locked. Did something happen?"

He knew very well.

The female charmer Baozhuer was specially planted in Chunyan Tower by the Ghost Cult in order to gather intelligence.

It is the most important part of this plan.

Speaking of Chunyan Tower, Zhuang Renhe's mood worsened again: "An Ning Guards still found out about the demon. I got the news and notified the demon breeder in the sect in advance to activate the secret method and turn it into blood. This is how we managed to cut off the clues."

Xiang Ting frowned: "I'm afraid Jiang Linxian won't let it go, Chunyan Tower."

There was a flash of killing intent in his eyes.

Zhuang Renhe's face was icy: "Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

"Yes!"

Nodded to the court.

Baozhuer, the enchantress, is dead if she dies. She is just one of many chess pieces.

However, Zhuang Renhe still had a lot of tricks up his sleeve in Chunyan Tower. If Jiang Linxian could trace it back to Zhuang Renhe, it would be troublesome, so it was necessary to cut the weeds completely and not leave any handles.

We can’t let Jiang Linxian continue investigating.

"Then what about An Ningwei?"

Zhuang Renhe sneered: "I have some old friendship with Cao Wei. I will find time to visit him. I think he will be happy to help."

It is no secret that Lieutenant General Cao Wei of Anning Guard and Adjutant Jiang Linxian are not on good terms.

In fact, most of the troops of the State of Yu were like this.

If the lieutenant general and the military officers were in harmony, the imperial court would have a headache.

Zhuang Renhe wanted to use Cao Wei to deal with Jiang Linxian's men in order to obstruct the investigation.

"Ning Zhongtian"

The name came out of his mouth.

Ning Zhongtian sent people to investigate Chunyan Tower, and he sealed it himself.

If he couldn’t bring down Jiang Linxian, how could he, a fifth-rank county magistrate, not be able to deal with Ning Zhongtian?

The more chaotic the An Ning Wei situation becomes, the less energy they have to continue investigating.

"Jiang Linxian, start with your men!"

Anning Guard Station.

They formed a circle after circle, with the soldiers in the outermost circle standing on tiptoe. From the middle of the circle came the wailing of a woman.

"Gentlemen, please help me. Damn it, this beast broke into my house and did such a dirty thing."

"My man went to Liangzhou to serve in the army after he opened up the village. This is bullying me, an orphan and a widow."

At this time.

Ge Hong angrily pushed through the crowd and walked to the center.

I saw a woman holding a middle-aged soldier's ankle and refusing to let go. A little boy next to her had a dirty face and was crying.

The crying sound moved everyone who heard it.

Many An Ning Wei soldiers stared at the middle-aged soldier with disgust, and cursed at him.

Military service refers to corvee labor.

If you go to the border state of Liangzhou, you will most likely be serving in the military.

To put it bluntly, they are of the same nature as them and of course share the same hatred for the enemy. When they think about their wives being bullied when they go out, they can't wait to rush up and tear the middle-aged man to pieces.

Ge Hong frowned.

Listening to the woman's cries, he roughly understood what had happened.

It's also anger coming from the heart.

"brute!"

He kicked the middle-aged soldier Ma San to the ground.

The reason why he appeared here was because he was a soldier in his camp and he often liked to go in and out of brothels.

Now he has done such a dirty thing, which makes him lose all face.

talking.

A sound of warehouse!
Ge Hong drew his knife and was about to kill Ma San.

When he was in Tiedao Martial Arts School, he was a person who could not tolerate any injustice. He was extremely strict with the apprentices in the school and prohibited them from bullying the weak.

Now his soldiers are doing such dirty things to insult their wives who are serving in the army.

Of course it cannot be tolerated.

Just as the scimitar in his hand was about to fall.

A hand firmly grasped his knife-holding arm.

Prevented the scene of blood splattering five steps from happening.

"Brother Li?"

Ge Hong was surprised. He didn't expect that the person who stopped him from eliminating evil was Li Rui.

Li Rui's eyes were calm:

"Brother Ge, this matter needs to be sent to the law enforcement camp for handling. If you kill this person now, it would be lynching."

Ge Hong calmed down immediately as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him.

Although he was the commander-in-chief of the Wu Camp, in theory he only had the power to lead the army. The soldiers in the camp were all from the imperial court, so he had no right to decide life and death.

I was so impulsive just now because I was so angry.

Although he would not lose his official position, it was inevitable that others would use this as a handle to attack him.

Ge Hong figured out the key and felt relieved. Fortunately, Li Rui appeared in time to stop him.

Impulse is the devil!

Li Rui glanced at the woman and said, "Don't cry anymore. I, An Ningwei, will give you justice in this matter and will not let you suffer in vain. Go back first!"

The official's authority is revealed.

The woman was so frightened that she stopped crying and held the little boy timidly, looking like an orphan and a widow who was bullied and dared not speak out because of the power.

Many of the soldiers watching frowned.

What Patrol Officer Li said was indeed somewhat inhumane.

It was clear that the mother and son had been humiliated, and now they were being scolded. Some soldiers from poor families grumbled in dissatisfaction: "I remember that Lord Li was born a slave, how could he do such a thing as helping the tyrant to oppress the people?"

"Now that I'm a high-ranking official, I don't care about my former poor friends."

In their opinion, if Li Rui was biased, then the matter would be resolved by going to the law enforcement camp.

These people spoke in low voices.

But it still fell clearly into Li Rui's ears, but he didn't take it seriously.

He winked at Ge Hong who was standing beside him.

Ge Hong immediately understood, grabbed Ma San, who was frightened by his scimitar and peed on the ground, and said with disgust: "Follow me!"

Under pressure, the crowd dispersed.

Li Rui and Ge Hong led their men straight to the law enforcement camp, and everyone followed them to see what was going on.

After a while.

A group of people rushed into the law enforcement camp in a noisy manner.

When General Zhao of the Law Enforcement Battalion saw this, he couldn't help but frown.

After drinking with Li Rui and Ge Hong, he went to Li Rui first.

"Brother Li, what happened?"

Li Rui glanced at them calmly and briefly told Zhao Zongqi what had just happened.

General Zhao is in charge of the law enforcement camp.

It is directly managed by Jiang Linxian. To put it bluntly, he is in the same camp as Li Rui and Ge Hong.

He has seen a lot of this kind of thing.

We can deal with it strictly, and some people will die in military battles, but we can also make a big deal out of a small one, and some will survive alive and well.

It depends on how it works.

He winked at Li Rui, trying to determine Li Rui and Ge Hong's attitude towards the matter.

Li Rui understood what General Zhao meant: "There are still some unclear points in this matter. I hope General Zhao will conduct a thorough investigation and restore order to An Ning Wei."

Check it strictly
Zhao Zongqi immediately understood: "We An Ning Guards have always had strict military discipline. As long as the evidence is solid, we will never tolerate it!"

Hear the two people express their opinions.

The onlookers breathed a sigh of relief.

But from the perspective of experienced veterans, it seems that General Ma San is at large.

Ge Hong frowned slightly.

He was not a rookie in the underworld, so of course he understood that although Li Rui and Zhao Zongqi seemed to want to punish him severely, they actually wanted to let him go.

But he really wanted to kill this evil scum.

But for the sake of Li Rui's face, he had to keep it secret.

Ma San was handed over to the law enforcement battalion for disposal.

Li Rui waved to the soldiers around him and said, "Go away."

See this.

Only then did the crowd disperse one by one.

soon.

Only Li Rui, Ge Hong and General Zhao of the Law Enforcement Camp were left in the camp.

Ge Hong then asked the question in his mind: "Brother Li, why did you protect this beast and let him do such a dirty thing? Wouldn't it be more satisfying to kill him with a knife?"

He asked this question because he knew Li Rui's character and was also clear about the details of the soldier under his command.

Otherwise, he would definitely think that Li Rui did this because he received benefits.

Li Rui sighed:

"Brother Ge, don't you think there's something wrong with what happened today?"

When asked this by Li Rui, Ge Hong was stunned.

After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't tell what was wrong.

Li Rui: "Brother Ge, Brother Zhao, tell me, how can a woman with no background and a boy enter the heart of An Ning Wei and find the target accurately?"

"This"

Ge Hong's pupils shrank slightly.

There seemed to be a flash of lightning in my mind.

Right!

Not everyone can enter An Ning Guard, let alone two orphans and a widow who are powerless.

There must be something wrong behind this.

Ge Hong narrowed his eyes slightly: "Brother Li, are you trying to say that someone wants to harm me?"

He was not a stupid person. After being given a little guidance by Li Rui, he discovered the clues.

Li Rui nodded: "Not sure, but I don't rule out this possibility."

He then turned around and clasped his fists to General Zhao of the Law Enforcement Camp: "Master Zhao, this matter is still unclear. Please take the trouble to investigate. If there is any result, please inform me and Brother Ge first."

Conversation between two people.

General Zhao listened to it all and was secretly amazed at Li Rui's meticulous thinking.

This may sound simple, but it is not easy to come up with this idea in a short period of time.

Otherwise Ge Hong would not have fallen into the trap so easily.

After all, it is this kind of orphan and widow plot that is so stirring and resonates with the weak.

"Brother Li is very careful and attentive. I admire you. I will take care of this matter."

Mr. Zhao laughed.

There was one thing he didn't say. To be able to discover the problem so quickly, besides being careful, one must also be ruthless enough. Only by looking at it from the perspective of a complete bystander, without a trace of sympathy, can one realize that something is wrong in the first place.

"No wonder they say people become more cunning as they age. When they see a lot, their hearts become hardened."

He secretly admired Li Rui's experience.

Step out of the law enforcement camp.

Li Rui looked calm.

He has experienced too much, so he has long understood one thing, that is, you can't just look at the surface of things.

Many times, the weak are better at disguising themselves.

What is right and what is wrong depends on evidence. What you see with your eyes and hear with your ears may be deceiving.

So we need to strip away emotions and analyze rationally.

This is why wise men are cold and indifferent.

He was thoughtful:
"Who could it be, and why Ge Hong?"
