Li Rui's mouth corners slightly raised.

A?

good achievement.

"come in."

Li Rui looked at Liang He, who had been standing at the door hesitating for a long time, and took the initiative to speak.

Liang He walked in.

He didn't say anything, and Li Rui didn't urge him.

The only sound in the room was the rustling of pages. Finally, Liang He couldn't hold it in any longer: "Master, I really can't figure it out."

Li Rui put down the Taoist scripture in his hand.

"I can't figure out something."

Liang He's face turned red, and he finally mustered up the courage to say, "Sun Ming did so many evil things, but he didn't get any retribution. He died because he bought some illegal salt?"

He is not an ignorant young boy.

Selling contraband salt is a serious crime, but there are fewer people in the Tiandi League and the Blood Tiger Gang selling contraband salt?

Not to mention the Tiandi Alliance, even the Zhu family and the Zhang family have unclear relations with the Salt Gang.

But what they did was not much better than what Sun Ming did, but the government always turned a blind eye.

Li Rui smiled and shook his head:
"You are so stubborn. Is this about smuggling salt?"

"No."

"But do you know who paid for the position of Constable Deng?"

"It's Deputy Captain Zhang."

"Then do you know who the previous head of the Wenwu Hall, Guo, worked for as a martial arts master?"

"It's the magistrate of Qinghe."

Liang He's eyes widened, and he was speechless for a moment: "I I."

Li Rui: "Smuggling salt can't kill Sun Ming. If you want to blame someone, blame him for standing with the wrong person and choosing the wrong time. The county magistrate and Deputy Captain Zhang want him dead, so how can he not die?"

Liang He fell silent.

After a long time, he slowly raised his head: "Master, I understand."

He always thought that it was the laws of the Yu State that triumphed over evil.

It turns out that he is just a victim of the struggle for interests.

Li Rui looked at Liang He who was leaving dejectedly and sighed softly.

"Some things are better known sooner."

If someone had given him the same advice as he is doing now, he wouldn't have suffered so much in the Zhu family stable.

Lived for so many years.

He knew very well that when he was weak, it was useless to rely solely on morality and laws to defeat someone.

If I remember correctly, the drum for appealing against grievances at the gate of the county government office never once brought justice to the poor.

It depends on interests.

Only when there are enough people with the same interests and they are strong enough can things be accomplished.

As for how to make use of these relationships, you can only slowly gain the proficiency over time.

noon.

Wu Tu showed up at the black market uninvited.

"Brother Li, you did a really great job."

As soon as he heard that Li Rui had sent Zhao Wei's younger brother who was planted in the black market to the black jail and that he had died in prison, he cried out in joy.

Li Rui said calmly: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just a good citizen who follows the law."

Good people
The corner of Wu Tu's mouth twitched.

But then I thought about it.

Indeed, everything Li Rui did was in accordance with the laws of the Yu Kingdom and the rules of the Tiandi Alliance, but it was precisely within these complicated rules that Li Rui was able to do it with ease. "Brother Li, you are a very particular person."

Wu Tu gave Li Rui a thumbs up.

He is a man of many years in the underworld and knows very well how much dexterity is needed to do things like Li Rui.

"Could it be that people really become demons when they grow old?"

Wu Tu muttered to himself.

Li Rui glanced at Wu Tu who was lingering in the room and asked, "Anything else?"

Wu Tu chuckled:

"Brother Li, I want to borrow some money from you."

Li Rui was so angry that he laughed: "You haven't even returned the Bone Strengthening Pill to me last time, and now you want to borrow money?"

Wu Tu licked his cheeks and took a step closer: "Brother Li, we are all family, I won't hide anything."

Lowering his voice:
"I found a piece of spiritual soil!"

Spiritual soil!

Hearing the word "spiritual soil", Li Rui also became interested.

Wu Tu chuckled and said, "Old brother, you know that I have been to Rongmen before. A few days ago, there were some kids who used to be kind to me. They learned that there was a family in Qinghe that had fallen on hard times and actually had spiritual soil."

Li Rui's eyes lit up.

There are not many opportunities like this.

In other words, Wu Tu had deep roots in Qinghe and was well-informed, which was why he was able to know the news in advance.

Wu Tu: "It just so happened that the old man liked to gamble, and he owed my gambling house a lot of money. After a while, he agreed to let me settle his debt, and then give him one thousand taels of silver, and then sell the spiritual soil to me."

Spiritual soil is not a magical medicine, but a good thing that can be used as a family heirloom.

Li Rui frowned and thought.

Soon, I remembered.

He remembered that forty years ago, when he was just a small groom and the Zhu family had not yet risen, there was a powerful family in Qinghe, the Lin family.

It’s a pity that Mr. Lin was a hero all his life, but his three sons were useless.

After the old man died, the Lin family declined rapidly.

In the past few years, there has been no news at all, and almost no one in Qinghe has forgotten that there was a Lin family in the city.

Li Rui asked: "Is that person's surname Lin?"

Wu Tu was surprised: "Brother Li, can you tell fortunes and even know this?"

When Li Rui heard this, he felt more confident.

With the financial resources of the Lin family back then, maybe they really had spiritual soil.

"Okay, we'll split it fifty-fifty."

"Row."

Wu Tu agreed without even thinking about it.

Spiritual soil is a long-term business, so it’s okay to give it to Li Rui first.

Agreed.

Li Rui took out a silver note worth one thousand taels from his pocket.

Of course, he exchanged this silver for the gold that Kong Ming had bribed him with at the merchant company.

Wu Tu saw that Li Rui really had 1,000 taels, and said:

"The black market is very profitable."

How could he know that Sun Ming gave away all the money he had saved for several years in order to bribe Li Rui.

Took the silver note.

Wu Tu left the black market happily.

Wu Tu is very efficient in his work.

Just one night had passed.

He came to the black market again and laughed triumphantly: "Brother Li, I got the job done for you!"

Li Rui heard it.

It is also difficult to suppress the excitement in my heart.

Good things like spiritual soil have always been in short supply. Once discovered, they will be targeted by powerful forces, making it extremely difficult for individuals to buy them.

Wu Tu took out a small wooden box from his arms mysteriously.

Take a closer look.

Wow, it’s actually rosewood!
Li Rui's appetite was also whetted.

Wu Tu slowly opened the lid.

The small wooden box, one inch square, was filled with black soil. Unlike ordinary soil, Li Rui could actually feel the breath of life from this black soil.

The spiritual soil is really extraordinary!
