"That's right, brother, our opponents are all second-generation dudes and so on. Guys of this level can be dealt with by the younger brother. Does he have any deep background?"
Li Mao thought thoughtfully and said, "Brother, I really want to hear this guy's name somewhere. What did he do? Brother, have you noticed him?"
Li Baiyi shook his head: "He has not committed any crime openly yet, but many of his people have been arrested by the county government before."
"I met him two days ago. He wanted to pay me to stop investigating a case. This case is very important and I must investigate him."
"Oh, brother, what kind of case is this? He actually paid you to stop the investigation."
Sun Bing looked serious.
"By the way, brother, you are usually either in the town government's government office or at the county government office. If a person like this wants to pay you, I'm afraid he won't have the chance. Where did you meet him?"
Li Mao asked curiously.
When Li Baiyi heard this, he couldn't help hesitating. The innocent person on the side directly revealed the truth: "I saw it with my own eyes in Goulan."
Li Mao and others suddenly became angry: "Brother, you are really unjust. You went to Goulan instead of calling your brothers, right?"
Li Baiyi quickly waved his hand and said: "Of course not, how could I not be righteous."
"Didn't I tell you, I'm going to investigate the case."
After everyone calmed down, Li Mao couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what kind of case is it? You should tell us."
"Yes, this man named Li Haonan was involved in some case, and he even paid you to stop the investigation. How much did he give you?"
Li Baiyi smiled and said: "It's not much, just fifty thousand taels of silver."
"Fifty-three thousand taels of silver." Tianzhen couldn't help but add next to him.
Li Baiyi looked at Tianzhen, his eyes filled with resentment.
"What, fifty thousand taels of silver? That's a lot. It's enough for us to go to a brothel for a year."
"Okay, brother, you have so much money on hand and you don't spend it on your brothers. It's really going to chill your brothers."
"Brother, are you still a good big brother to the brothers? You just made so much money, and you will use it on other little girls later."
"God, why is this world so unfair? We eat and die every day, but our eldest brother can make so much money casually. Is there any king's law? Is there any law?"
"Brother, this guy gave you so much money to stop the investigation. The amount involved must be beyond imagination. I am more and more curious about what kind of case it is that the other party can afford so much money to settle."
Li Mao frowned.
Sun Bing nodded: "Brother, after you have collected so much money, you must have done more things. Are you violating Dakun's laws? If so, we can't protect you."
Li Baiyi couldn't help but darken his face when he heard this: "What are you talking about? Do I look like that kind of person?"
"Although we want money, we must also be gentlemen who love money and use it wisely, right?"
Li Mao and others made a contemptuous gesture towards him. Li Baiyi immediately slapped his thigh and said: "He committed a case of abduction of women and children. Do you think I would bend the law for personal gain and get away with it?"
When Li Mao and others heard this, their expressions suddenly changed: "What, there are still people around the capital who are doing this kind of case. They are really audacious."
"Yes, brother, you dare to accept this kind of money, so you are not afraid of retribution."
Zhang Wen looked at Li Baiyi with disdain, forcing Li Baiyi to prove his innocence.
"There are differences in what people do, but there is no difference in the money. If I collect their money, I can weaken their strength, so why not."
"Besides, even after I receive the money, I may not actually obey their orders and do things as they imagine."
Li Mao snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "Brother, you are so awesome. You take money but don't do anything. You eat everything but don't acknowledge it, haha."
Li Baiyi rolled his eyes and said, "Good things taste bad in your mouth. Why are you like this?"
"Brother, don't pay attention to this kid. He has no clue. Just say what you want to do."
Li Baiyi shook his head and said: "I don't have any ideas, I just want to find out the details first. We may not be able to meet this guy this time."
"By the way, brother, do you know this guy's background?" Li Mao's voice became louder.
Li Baiyi shook his head and said: "I haven't investigated this guy yet, but I think that after a while, he will definitely reveal his flaws. Do you know who is running this kind of business?"
"The power behind this kind of business must be quite large. Otherwise, in the capital city, the occurrence of such a thing must have been exposed long ago. How could it have been concealed until now."
Sun Bing couldn't help but said.
"Yes, the fact that he can offer 53,000 taels of silver to bribe his elder brother means that he will earn at least 500,000 taels from this case. In other words, it is very likely that he has earned at least one million taels before. "
Li Mao frowned and thought: "Such a large-scale business, if it were in our Dakun territory, it would have been reported long ago. Could it be that this matter involves Beiyuan?"
As soon as Li Mao said this, everyone was immediately startled: "If Bei Yuan is really involved, then this is a big case, and His Majesty will definitely be furious if he finds out."
Sun Bing felt a little numb: "You're right, brother. Otherwise, we should report this matter to His Majesty as soon as possible. I think this is another case that may break the truth."
But Li Baiyi shook his head: "How can this be done? Even if there is some glaring case, I will still take care of it. Otherwise, what do you think His Majesty wants to do by asking me to serve as the magistrate of the county? Isn't it? Is there a buffer zone?"
Li Mao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Brother, you are indeed a buffer zone, but if the matter is too big, wouldn't His Majesty have to sacrifice you in order to protect himself?"
Li Baiyi glanced at him and said: "Do you think His Majesty is so cowardly, or do you think my father is cowardly? Is there anything that the two of them combined can't resist."
Li Mao looked at Sun Bing and others, nodded, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Big Brother makes sense. Even if we guys are scared, Big Brother won't be afraid. Don't you think so?"
While several people were chatting and laughing, Li Mao suddenly remembered something: "Brother, I finally remembered, what is the background of this guy? He is probably related to the Palace of Prince Daxi, especially the young prince Wu Cong."
