Chapter 713: Capital City Handling the Case(1/2)
"Have you all eaten and drank enough? It's almost time. It's time to set off. I just sorted out the files sent by Cui Wei. There are probably no less than thirty places in the capital that need to be dealt with, and those that need to be exterminated directly
There are no less than ten places, all of which are very dangerous." Li Xiuyuan was wearing official uniform at the moment.
He took several accompanying soldiers to the backyard.
"The imperial court asked me to investigate the case of the Lantern Festival Fire and the Wutong Sect demons. I think this is an opportunity. I will take this opportunity to do a good deed for the people of the capital. I will step down in a month, and I will take charge of it then.
Nothing more."
"Sir, I have already had enough wine and food in my humble position. I can serve you at will." Cui Wei said.
But Yan Chixia smiled and said: "Scholar, you asked me to come all the way to do something for you. What will you reward me with afterward? Even if you join the army, you will be rewarded with silver. Don't fool me with gold and silver treasures.
I, I'm not interested in that stuff. Let's do this. Last time, the Western Regions tribute wine and grapes from the previous dynasty were
Wine, how about you bring me three jars?"
As soon as they met, Yan Chixia couldn't help but ask for a drink.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "No, no, the wine is gone. You and Xia Houwu drank it all last time. I didn't keep it secret at all. If Yan Chixia wants to drink, I'll treat you to it after the matter is over."
Drink like a fairy."
"Immortal is drunk? What kind of wine is that?" Yan Chixia's eyes lit up, as if she had already begun to imagine the taste of the wine.
"The Lord Zhenwu Shen only gave me a pot. I had a drink, but I am not strong enough to drink. I get drunk as soon as I drink it. I will take it out for you to drink at the celebration banquet later," Li Xiuyuan said.
Yan Chixia laughed and said: "It's cool, you are a scholar who has many treasures. Every time you have some good things, be careful of thieves." After that, she looked at the old Ghost King bag on his waist.
If an immortal is drunk, he will definitely put it in that cloth bag.
"Li Chao, I heard that your master is a silly monk?" Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan looked at the unfamiliar man beside him.
"Yes, yes, sir, I used to learn martial arts from Han He. The master taught me for a few years, and then he traveled around the world." Li Chao said hurriedly.
Li Xiuyuan nodded; "I have met the silly monk in Huaxian County before. We have exterminated demons together. He is not bad. He is traveling around, accumulating merits, and cultivating to become an Arhat. We should meet and talk about old times if we have the opportunity."
Li Chao was a little happy when he heard this. He didn't expect that the master actually knew this Master Li.
"Okay, get ready, grab your weapons, and set off immediately."
Without any further delay, Li Xiuyuan led these worldly top masters out of the Yamen.
There were hundreds of people waiting at the Yamen.
They were the head catcher of Liumen, a group of soldiers under Li Xiuyuan, and the Yamen servants.
We don't expect them to be of much use, we just bring them over to build up their momentum and attack. After all, it's easy to do things when there are many people. It's still too weak to rely on these top experts alone.
"Where is Zuo Qianhu? He hasn't come yet." Li Xiuyuan glanced at him and didn't see Zuo Qianhu bringing anyone over to help.
"Back to your lord, Zuo Qianhu sent someone to pass the message. He is still on duty and cannot leave his post without permission. When the shift changes, Zuo Qianhu said he will come to help you immediately." A head catcher said with his fists in his hands.
"It's time to follow the rules of the imperial court, so don't wait for him and let's go." Li Xiuyuan smiled, but he didn't mind.
This is indeed the character of Zuo Qianhu. He is upright and loyal, and he can complete the court's errands meticulously, even if he risked his life for it.
Immediately, Li Xiuyuan led Wu Xiang, Sha Jin, Li Chao, Yan Chixia, Xia Houwu, Cui Wei, six masters, and hundreds of people, and walked forward along the official road and the street with great momentum.
.
Along the way, many people in the capital were disturbed. They pointed and talked.
"What happened in the capital today? Such a great man showed up with so many people. What is he going to do? There is also Mr. Cui from the Six Doors. Could it be that someone has committed a major crime?"
"I recognize the leading official. He is the prefect who took over from Fang Shengyu a few days ago. I think he is going to investigate some big case."
"Drink, what an incredible style. The officer was followed by all masters. Even the famous former chief catcher Yan Chixia was invited, as well as Xia Houwu. I heard that his swordsmanship was very powerful, and
Yan Chixia is a sworn enemy. A few years ago, they had sword duels in a restaurant in the capital. Tsk, but then
This battle really satisfies my eyes, and it’s such a joy to have a battle between masters.”
"Look, it's Li Chao. Why was he released? Wasn't he imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice last year? I heard that he injured a certain Yamen and will be imprisoned for three to five years."
"Sha Jin, the chief escort of Shunfeng Escort Agency, is also here? He is also an incredible master. I heard that he has the unique skill of Iron Cloth Shirt, which makes him invulnerable to weapons and bullets, and he can chop a buffalo with his own hands."
There are quite a few rogues in the city streets of the capital, and even an idle man can recognize these masters.
Especially Yan Chixia and Xia Houwu, they had made great reputations in the capital's circles before, but later Yan Chixia got tired of worldly battles, practiced the magic of sword immortals, and went around killing demons and demons.
, and also killed many corrupt officials, so he has long since ceased to be the chief arrester.
Even if you are wanted, you will be given face by the six doors.
Now that these masters are gathered together, people can't help but be surprised.
Of course, for some literati and scholars, they have not heard of the rumors about this market master. They are just curious about what the prefect's Yamen organization wants to do with so many people?
You must know that the capital has very strict regulations on the transfer of arresters, soldiers, and government officials.
If there are more than a certain number of people, the court's decree is required, otherwise it will be regarded as a gathering of people to cause trouble, and there will be suspicion of treason.
"stop."
A group of people walked along the street, finally turned left and right, and stopped in front of an inconspicuous house.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the file in his hand, waved his hand and said: "This is it. This is a mansion. It seems normal, but in fact there is a demon hiding inside, refining pills, trapping children, and killing people."
He has become neither male nor female, taking the opportunity to seek money, preparing to break down the door and arrest people, and surrender to avoid death.
If you resist, you will be punished. Who among you will fight first in this first battle?"
After speaking, he looked back at everyone.
Li Chao immediately rode out and clasped his fists and said: "I dare not embarrass the master, but I am willing to take down the monster here for you."
"I'll give you twenty people, and the others will be responsible for surrounding them to prevent the demon from escaping." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said.
Li Chao was immediately eager to give it a try. He felt that the martial arts he had learned all his life could finally be used.
Immediately, he turned over and dismounted, ordered twenty people and strode to the door of the mansion. He punched it down and immediately broke a hole in the heavy wooden door in front of him. Then he took off the bolt with his backhand and rushed in with the people.
.
Soon, screams, exclamations, and various arresting sounds came from inside.
"Who? How dare you come to my house to cause trouble?" At this moment, an old Taoist with a sinister expression walked out of the alchemy room angrily, accompanied by several beautiful Taoist boys.
Li Chao said: "Your Excellency, Li Chao, came here to arrest the alchemy demon on the orders of the magistrate? Are you an old man like you? Why don't you surrender quickly?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a thunderous explosion under his feet, and he rushed towards him like a galloping horse.
"A master who has developed qi strength? Something is very wrong." The old man's expression changed drastically.
A person with this level of martial arts can defeat demons and gods if he is determined, and even with a masculine aura, even evil spirits would not dare to get close to him.
Not daring to be careless, the old Taoist hurriedly took out a Taoist talisman from his sleeve, and then muttered something. The Taoist talisman quickly burned, but before the Taoist talisman was finished burning, a gust of breeze suddenly blew by and it went out.
The spell fails.
"No, the magistrate outside is not simple. His righteous thoughts have enveloped this place, and his spells are no longer working." The old man immediately understood what was going on.
Try taking a look outside with your third eye.
In an instant, a white light enveloped the sky, and there was a faint golden light coming. The two rays of light intertwined, like a canopy, and the mountain pressed down on his mansion.
Under such circumstances, ordinary spells will not work at all.
"Is my disaster coming?"
This old Taoist thought came into his mind, and it was too late to escape now.
The next moment, Li Chao rushed over and punched the old Taoist in the chest. He immediately fell to the ground and vomited blood. His face instantly turned pale. He seemed to have broken his spiritual practice and became sluggish.
Go down.
"I'm not afraid of you even if you cast spells. The master said that when seeing a spell, the ghost itself will be fierce first. The more afraid of the spell, the more powerful it will be." Li Chao took the old man and went back to his life.
At this time, others also arrested many men wearing women's clothing and very colorfully dressed.
They are all just like Wang Erxi, who use the method of selling themselves to defraud money and sex.
"You did a good job. No one slipped through the net. Two people were left to seal the house and ransack the house." Li Xiuyuan glanced at the old man and said: "As for these people, they pushed back first. This man prevented him from casting spells and poured shit and urine on him first.
It ruined his aura."
"To deal with demons, you can let the people from the Six Gates do it. They are experienced people." Cui Wei said.
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "Then let the people from the Six Gates take charge of this monster, and the others will continue to follow me to the next place."
After saying that, he put the file away and took out the next file.
After leaving here.
Soon, Li Xiuyuan led his troops to a temple.
The incense here is not as prosperous as that of Xiangguo Temple, but there are still pilgrims and many people come to worship.
The temple is not big, with only a dozen monks inside.
"Surround them up and don't spare any monks. Cui Wei sent people to evacuate the pilgrims." Li Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Sir, Sir, what does this mean? I have not committed any crimes in this Golden Body Temple. Why do you want to surround my temple so well?" A monk's face changed greatly. Seeing this scene, he hurriedly led the way.
