Although Liu Ming’s concerns are not without reason, the assumption that “all the thugs in the village, including the servants, have been silenced” is still a bit exaggerated.

It is true that Sun Yixie is not a good person, but he would not have killed everyone in Murong Ji, a different village.

After all, these people are just employees who work under Murong Ji and have not committed any crimes that must be killed. Why do you need to kill them?

Furthermore, there has been an agreement between Sun Yixie and Lord Lu before that the bottom line of the local government in the game between the two sides is "Don't cause any death", so Brother Sun will not cross the line unless it is absolutely necessary.

To put it short, after a search, the elite thugs came back to report that the five or six thugs left in the village and more than a dozen servants were tied up and locked up in the woodshed without any casualties.

However, no loss of personnel does not mean no property or property...

During the search process, the thug found that the door of the warehouse in the village had been broken, and the silver boxes filled with silver in the warehouse had disappeared.

When Liu Ming heard this news, his face was ashamed, while Murong Ji was so shocked that he woke up most of the wine, and his face was twitching...

But he used these boxes of silver to make some money. He used it to open a casino, which was a huge sum of thousands of taels. Once the money was lost, what else would he open Huanyi Pavilion? The travel expenses for bringing these dozens of thugs back to his hometown are not enough.

"Tell me quickly! What's going on?" Murong Ji grabbed the collar of a thug who had just loosened his body and shouted loudly.

"Young Master...Young Master... Say your anger..." The thug replied tremblingly, "Things...this is the thing..." He thought for a few seconds, swallowed, and said, "In the evening, not long after you and Mr. Liu took their people away, a group of masked thieves broke into the village. Not only were they crowded, but they also raided guys... such as wooden sticks, sacks, ropes, lime powder... whatever you want... You took out most of the people in the village tonight. We were really unable to withstand the rest of us, and the servants and maids were not responsible, so we were captured by them."

"Then you tell them the location of the warehouse?" Murong Ji asked viciously.

"Young Master! You are wronged. Don't say we are unwilling to speak. Even if we are willing to speak, the other party didn't ask at all." The thug replied aggrievedly, "After they tied us up and blocked them, they threw them into the woodshed and never paid attention to us anymore. We don't know what they are doing outside."

Hearing this, Murong Ji was so angry that the blue veins on his forehead were protruding. Seeing him like that, it seemed as if he would beat the thug in front of him to vent his anger in the next second.

"Young master, I think what he said should be the truth." Liu Ming saw the clues and dissuaded him at the right time, "Our farm is only that big, and there are many people on the other side. Just search and find out where the warehouse is located is not difficult. There is indeed no need to ask any questions."

After saying this, he slightly suppressed Murong Ji's anger.

After Murong Ji thought for a few seconds, he pondered for a moment, then let go of the thug's collar.

"Hmph... they are such a bunch of trash." But after letting go, he still cursed and vented his anger.

"Young Master, in my opinion, it will be useless to blame them now. It is better to think about how to recover the lost silver." Liu Ming saw that the young master calmed down a little, and then continued.

"Well..." Murong Ji grew a breath from his nostrils and continued, "Could it be... Mr. Liu already has a clue?"

"That's natural." Liu Ming replied, "Young Master, think about it... Although we haven't been to Hangzhou for a long time, everyone knows that this village is already the property of your Master Murong. Who dares to come here to make your decision?" He paused, "But the group of people who came tonight are numerous and powerful, and they are ready to pick you up when you go to Sun Yixie's fish head banquet. Don't you think... this is too coincidental?"

Someone may have to say this when he sees it. Does Liu Ming still need to point out such a thing? Murong Ji himself couldn't think of it?

It is said that those in the authorities are confused, while those onlookers are clear.

In fact, as long as Murong Ji thought about it for a while, he would definitely think of it, but at that time, he suddenly suffered a drastic change, was shocked and angry, and he didn't wake up all the wine, so his mind wouldn't turn around so quickly.

As soon as Liu Ming reminded him, Murong Ji immediately figured it out: "Damn it! Yes! This Sun surnamed is playing with me tonight, and is it?"

"No," Liu Ming continued, "from the beginning, he deliberately put on the 'Hongmen Banquet' posture, which made us feel that he was malicious, so we had to bring a large number of people to the table, just in case... As a result, he was very happy to entertain us, leaving us with no reason to do it, and only with ourselves, dragging so many of us... On the other hand, he sent his subordinates to ambush near our village. When we left, we came to take the fire from the bottom of the pot." When he said this, he also showed a little annoyed, "Oh... I was a trick of chess, and I should have considered this."

"Mr. Liu, don't blame yourself." Murong Ji was very anxious at this moment. He didn't want to pursue Liu Ming, but just wanted to get the money back as soon as possible. "Since you already know that Sun Yixi did this, it's not too late. Let's go to Sun's mansion to settle the score with him!"

"No, young master... don't be impulsive..." But Liu Ming denied Murong Ji's idea, "This Sun Yixi is full of tricks and can pretend to act... Since he has done this tonight, he may have a complete solution. If we go rashly, we may be hit by his next move again."

"This..." Murong Ji's face turned red, "Can you just let it go?"

"What subordinates mean is... you might as well wait until dawn tomorrow before making a decision." Liu Ming continued.

Liu Ming's suggestion was undoubtedly correct. Although he did not know what "later tricks" Sun Yixie had hidden, based on his current contact with the other party, he had clearly felt that the young man's wisdom and scheming were definitely not easy. Such a person could not have calculated that Murong Ji had come back tonight and immediately went to fight back.

"Wait?" But when Murong Ji heard this, he widened his eyes and shouted, "No! How can I wait?"

"Young Master..." Liu Ming wanted to persuade him again.

"Mr. Liu, no need to say it, I have decided!" But Liu Ming was just a staff officer and bodyguard after all, and the person who made the decision was Murong Ji. "Brothers! Scrawl the guy! Come with me! Go and settle the score with the little bastard named Sun!"

He shouted, and the thugs around him echoed, but... the shouting was a bit weak, after all, this group of people hadn't eaten in five or six hours.

Liu Ming didn't say anything else. Seeing that he couldn't persuade the young master, he had to go with him.

Of course, his compromise was also carefully considered.

Liu Ming judged that Sun Yixie did not make things difficult for the servants in the village. The other party should not be the kind of scoundrel with no bottom line, at least he would not kill people easily. So no matter what, Murong Ji was not afraid of his life when he went there, and this... was enough.

If Murong Ji went there this time, he might die, then Liu Ming would definitely rather knock him out than stop him.

…………

The ugly time is coming, that is, it will be less than one o'clock in the morning.

At this time, it is basically the moment when everyone is sleeping soundly.

But tonight, there were dozens of people and a carriage running on the streets of Hangzhou.

It was Murong Ji who led Liu Ming and dozens of elite thugs under him, rushing toward Sun's mansion with torches, sticks, and machetes...

This time, Mr. Murong simply brought all the thugs except the maids of the house. Anyway, his village had been robbed and there was nothing to guard.

Slap sex-

When he arrived at the gate of Sun's mansion, Murong Ji didn't need the thugs to come forward, so he rushed down from the carriage, headed straight to the door, raised his hand and slapped.

While filming, he cursed: "Sun Yixie! You stealing bastard! Get out of here!"

Click—

As soon as he shouted for the first time, the small door next to him opened, as if someone had been waiting for him to come there.

"Oh, isn't this Brother Murong? It's been midnight, what's this for?" It was Sun Yixie himself who came out to respond.

"You dare to ask clearly?" Murong Ji's blood vessels were almost bursting, and he immediately lifted up his sleeves and rushed up to beat someone.

"Young Master!" Liu Ming quickly pulled him from the side, "Don't be impulsive..."

Although Murong Ji, who was stopped by him, stopped, stared at Sun Yixie with his eyes: "My surname is Sun! You can pull the tiger away from the mountain and rob me of money! Return my money quickly!"

"Ah?" Sun Yixie instantly showed a slutty look on his face when he heard this, and responded to the word "Something" with a smile. Then he paused for a few seconds and said again, "Where did Brother Murong's words come from? Why can't I understand?"

"Then you..." Murong Ji took a few more steps forward as if he was about to bite people.

Liu Ming could not hold him back, so he could only turn his head and say quickly to Sun Yixie, "Young Master Sun, you are a smart person, and I won't tell you anything... In a word, if you wish to make friends with our Murong family, then return the money. We just think this is a joke. The conditions we talked about at the West Lake Elementary Hall tonight will still count!"

"Hahaha...joke?" Sun Yixie did laugh, but just sneer, "I smashed my restaurant, beat my people, rushed to my fish market, and made fun of my business... are they all jokes?"

"Young Master Sun, that was a misunderstanding before..." Liu Ming also wanted to resolve the issue peacefully.

But at this moment, Sun Yixie directly interrupted him: "Is it a misunderstanding or a joke? What you said doesn't count..."

At this point, suddenly, outside the Sun Mansion, a large group of officers and soldiers suddenly surged out of the darkness of various streets and alleys, and in the blink of an eye, he surrounded Murong Ji and his group in the middle.

[The first release of this site, the fastest update]

Although the thugs under Murong Ji were usually quite domineering, they did not dare to act rashly when they saw this scene.

"Why is it so big in the middle of the night?" After a breath, the prefect Lu Wen appeared in the audience with the master and Captain Hu.

"Caomin...see Lord Lu!" Sun Yixie also pretended to bow loudly at the first time.

"I've seen Lord Lu..." Murong Ji and Liu Ming could only say it first when they saw this situation.

No matter how profound the Murong family's background is, they are just civilians on the surface, and they cannot be rude to the chief executive of the prefect in full view of the public.

"That... our mansion received a report saying that someone here intends to commit an offense. What's going on?" Lu Wen said immediately.

In fact, everyone understands that he has appeared here at this moment and must have colluded with Sun Yixie. Where did he just arrive and did nothing? You have already received the report and arrived at the scene?

But he still needs to pretend...

"Sir, it was the case sent by the grass-roots people to report." The next second, Sun Yixie also followed the flow and came, "Sir, you see it too... This young master Murong took a group of evil slaves in his family, holding a weapon, and wanted to break into my house. He also asked me for money as soon as he opened his mouth... I was afraid that they wanted to rob money and kill people and destroy my whole family, so he quickly sent someone to the government to call for help. Fortunately, he arrived in time and saved me from danger. Sir, he is really the rebirth of my people in Hangzhou. The sky is alive!"

After hearing this, Murong Ji was stunned: Is there any other kingly law? You robbed my farm first, and now you still call for catching thieves, turn black and white, and make a raid in the face?

"You! The surname of Sun, don't swear! It's clear that you sent someone to my other country to rob me of thousands of taels of silver. I'm just here to go back now!" Murong Ji quickly called for justice to himself.

"Oh? There is something wrong?" Lu Wen responded and looked at Brother Sun.

"Sir, I don't know what he is saying." Sun Yixie replied to Lu Wen without changing his expression, then put on his slutty expression and said to Murong Ji, "If Brother Murong's family is thieves, then he should go to report to the official. What are you doing to me? What evidence do you have to prove that I've 'sent someone to rob your money'?"

"I..." Murong Ji was speechless for a moment. Only then did he realize a serious problem-the people sent by Sun Yixie were masked and had never spoken to the subdued thugs at all. In other words, the group of "thieves" who robbed Murong Ji... no matter how they looked, they were not exposed. Even if Murong Ji's subordinates wanted to identify the people in the Sun's house, they didn't know who they should refer to.

"That group of thieves came prepared and specifically picked up the moves that our young master would take to the banquet tonight. The village was empty..." At this time, it was Liu Ming who took the conversation and tried to use logic to fight Sun Yixie. "And know when our young master will go to the banquet. Apart from our own people, that is, you, Mr. Sun."

"Ha!" But Sun Yixie was not panicked at all. "Just!" He immediately said sophist, "Can it be that a group of thieves have been staring at your farm, and then they happened to wait for an empty opportunity to take action tonight? Besides, I'm treating your young master to dinner, not to invite him to fight in a group. How do I know how many people he will bring? But what you call "our own people" may know, then they are more suspicious of collusion with outsiders and robbing themselves, right?"

"Uh..." Even Liu Ming didn't know how to argue now. After all, it was difficult for them to refute the other party with almost no evidence.

"Sun! Why are you pretending to be garlic?" Murong Ji was anxious again, "In this whole city of Hangzhou, except for you, Sun Yixi, who else dares to attack me? If you have the ability, please ask me to search in your mansion now, and my money must be in it!"

"Hehe..." Sun Yixie smiled, "What do you mean by saying this? Our Sun family is a scholarly family. Although I, Sun Yixie, is not talented and has not won the exam, I just acted as a businessman, but I do all my business. I don't care about the casinos and kilns... Why do you think of me as a bully bandit?" He paused, "Also, our Sun family is well-known in Hangzhou. Now you have no evidence to accuse me of robbery, and you have to search my house privately... Are you not treating us Lord Lu as a human being?"

"Well, Nephew Sun's words are reasonable." Lu Wen also echoed at this time, "Mr. Murong, don't say that you have no evidence to prove that Nephew Sun's money was robbed. Even if there is... this search should be the responsibility of our government. It is difficult for me to do this if you bring your servants to cause trouble."

It's over, it's completely defeated.

This is the only thought in Liu Ming’s mind at this moment.

Liu Ming is a self-aware person who knows how to judge the situation. When things are so far in front of him, he already knows very well that Murong Ji can never beat Sun Yixie... Not to mention Murong Ji, even if the head of the Murong family comes here in person, it will probably be a big deal.

He finally understood why the "East and West Poison" that became famous in the world in recent years can have such a status in the world through things other than martial arts.

"Young master... It's not appropriate to argue about this matter today. Let's go back first and make a long-term plan..." A few seconds later, Liu Ming quickly murmured softly in Murong Ji's ear, wanting to let him withdraw before he could give him more words.

When Murong Ji heard this, he was incompetent and furious. He could only stare at Sun Yixie before leaving and say again: "Sun, Yixie! Remember this for me, this matter is not over!"

After saying that, he got up and hugged Lord Lu, wanting to take someone away.

"Let's wait!" But how could Sun Yixie let him go?

"What else do you want?" At this moment, even Liu Ming was a little angry; in his opinion, Sun Yixiu robbed them several thousand taels of silver tonight, and then blew them up intellectually, and also made them lose face. All the property and venues they had lost before should have been recovered. If they were aggressive, they would have passed.

"Mr. Liu, don't get angry." Sun Yixie said, "I saw that Brother Murong still dissatisfied tonight, so I wanted to give him a chance...'Win it all back'."

"No need..." Liu Ming was about to refuse.

But Murong Ji seemed to hear some keyword, and turned around and snatched: "What does it mean?"

"Haha..." Sun Yixie saw him take the bait and continued, "I heard that Brother Murong, you have a nickname called 'Gambling Boy' in the world. I think you have some attainments in gambling... And I am usually fun, but I have no idea about my level and have always wanted to find a master to compete with..."

"Do you want to fight with me for gambling?" Murong Ji asked.

"That's right~" Sun Yixie replied, "Today, Lord Lu is here, so I can give us a testimony. We might as well make an appointment here to make a public bet..." He paused for a moment and said, "If I lose, I will pay you as much as I have been robbed by those thieves tonight. And I will do everything I promised to help you with in the West Lake Elegant Seat; but if Brother Murong loses..."
