The strong man's eyes were sharp, but he still couldn't penetrate the veil on Shen Tianshu's hat.
He frowned and cupped his hands and said: "I am Kang Rui of the Beidou Gang. May I ask where this lady comes from and how she knows about our gang leader?"
Fan Yuru blocked Shen Tianshu behind him, stood with his hands behind his back and said, "It's not your place to ask where he came from. If you want to save your gang leader, then lead the way, otherwise I won't have anything to say to you."
"What is the identity of our gang leader? You can meet him just by saying a word. I'm not afraid to tell you that in the past year, there have been many people like you who either came to visit us on their own initiative or who acted mysteriously, but none of them have the real ability. Yes." A man behind Kang Rui rushed out and shouted, "Do you know what is happening to these people now? They are all sinking under the Sanfu Lake now! The water in our Sanfu Lake is now one level higher than a year ago. Big cut!"
Shen Tianshu naturally knew that this was false. Not to mention whether so many corpses would pollute the water quality after sinking into the pond, as far as she knew, Cao Chengyi was not such a character.
But these words also revealed a message. Cao Chengyi must have been seeking medical advice for more than a year, and may have even reached the point of seeking medical treatment in a hurry. It seems that his current situation is not optimistic.
However, Shen Tianshu didn't intend to explain anything more here. As long as she could get to Sanfutan, she was sure that Cao Chengyi could see her. At this time, arguing with these people here was just a waste of time.
And she has to be more careful with these people, but not everyone in the Beidou Gang wants Cao Chengyi to get well.
Maybe the following deputy gang leaders have already thought of replacing them.
"Since you don't believe it, let's forget it." Shen Tianshu pretended to want to retreat, not wanting to confront them head-on, "Mr. Fan, let's go back first!"
"Hahaha--",
The group of people behind Kang Rui thought Shen Tianshu was frightened and burst into laughter.
"Little lady, if you really want to see our gang leader, why don't you take off your curtain hat and show it to your brothers. If you are born in a beautiful country, maybe our gang leader can make an exception to see you."
"The gang leader is so easy to meet. He has to make us, Mr. Kang, comfortable before he can introduce you to you, don't you think?"
"Insolent! Shut your dirty mouth!"
Although Fan Yuru didn't know why Shen Tianshu gave in just now, he originally planned to follow her wishes and try not to conflict with the other party.
But these gangsters from the Beidou Gang were becoming more and more unclean, and he really couldn't bear to listen.
"Hey, this pretty boy actually dares to speak!"
"Let's play four, I'm going to play five and let's play six!"
"Master Kang, look, it's been a while since we've met someone who refuses to eat and drink as a penalty when toasting. It's just a good time for the brothers to stretch their muscles. How about it?"
Shen Tianshu took a look and saw that there were more than twenty people on the other side. He only had six guards on his side, and he had to protect Fan Yuru and himself, two people who had no power to restrain them. It was obvious that they were outnumbered.
Fan Yuru, however, was not afraid at all. He looked like he wanted to fight to the death with his opponent and had no intention of revealing his identity.
Although Kang Rui looks tall and thick, he is definitely not a fool to be Yao Yichen's confidant. He has been quietly observing the group of people on the opposite side.
Not to mention that the materials used in the clothes of the two of them were extremely particular, but the six young men guarding them looked like well-trained people at first glance.
Da Qi's control over weapons was not as strict as that of the previous dynasty. When traveling around the country or guarding escorts, you only needed to register with the government to purchase weapons for self-defense.
However, the quality of this kind of weapon is far from what the government rations. It can be used against ordinary people, but when it comes to officers and soldiers, it can only be captured without mercy.
But the guards in front of them were holding bright steel knives in their hands. It was obvious at a glance that they were all sharp blades.
Kang Rui's eyes glanced at their bulging waists and uneven sleeves, and he highly suspected that there were hidden weapons such as sleeve arrows or even hand crossbows hidden inside.
To be able to afford such a guard, these two people are definitely not ordinary wealthy merchants.
So Kang Rui hesitated for a moment and stopped his eager men.
"Today, my subordinates are not good at learning and the fault is in the hands of you two. You have nothing to lose, so why not hold each other accountable..."
Before Kang Rui finished speaking, a group of boys behind him were unhappy.
They have long been interested in the steel knives in the hands of several guards. This is a good thing that even money can hardly buy.
So what if the opponent's weapons are sharper? There are so many people on our side!
"Shut up! Why, it's hard for me to speak now, am I?" Kang Rui grimaced before finally suppressing the people behind him.
Shen Tianshu looked a little surprised, because she was in the southern Zhili territory and she knew something about the Beidou Gang in her previous life.
The Beidou Clan has very strict rules, and there is a clear distinction between superiors and inferiors.
But on Kang Rui's side, it was obvious that he couldn't control his subordinates.
Shen Tianshu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, without Cao Chengyi's restraint, the Beidou Gang would indeed become more and more disgraceful.
It seemed that I had to go to Sanfu Tan Water Pavilion.
Fortunately, in the end, thanks to Kang Rui's efforts, the two parties did not start fighting in the street and turned around and left.
After leaving Xiyang Street, Fan Yuru said to Shen Tianshu: "Miss Shen, don't feel too sorry for yourself. The guards of the palace are all elite soldiers who can fight one against ten. The prince also arranged for secret guards to accompany him for protection. Facing those mobs, You will definitely not suffer any loss.”
"I didn't expect that the prince would be so careful and even arrange for secret guards. If he had known this..."
Before Shen Tianshu finished speaking, one of the guards responsible for breaking up the rear suddenly stepped forward and reported: "Master Fan, that Kang Rui has been following us secretly! He has been following us for several streets. It is definitely not a coincidence."
The smile on Fan Yuru's face disappeared immediately. He finally asked Shen Tianshu to go out and have a meal. Everything was originally arranged, but unexpectedly, it was messed up by the Beidou Gang.
He said with a straight face and uncontrollable anger in his voice: "I let him go just now, but he still refuses to let me go. It seems that he doesn't take us seriously enough. If we don't give him some show, , I really think our Prince Rui’s Mansion is afraid of him!”
Kang Rui had just sent all his men away, and then turned back, not far or near behind Fan Yuru and Shen Tianshu, mainly because he wanted to see where the two would stop.
Seeing that the person in front of him turned a corner, he was afraid that he would be discovered if he followed too closely, so he slowed down slightly and waited for a while before continuing to follow.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned the corner, two steel knives were placed on his neck.
"Master Kang, I really didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."
