Liu Yu gritted his teeth, turned his head, and said to Yu Yue behind him: "Yuchang Shi, do you have a family here?"
Yu Yue smiled slightly: "The second room of Family A on the left side of the second floor is the property of my Yu family. I just don't know who owns the other boxes. Aristocratic families have rules and are not allowed to interfere in other families' affairs. , just take care of yourself. I only learned about the murder that night after listening to Liu Zhubo’s account. This kind of murder happens several times in Jiankang City almost every day, and there is no verification. In fact, there are many cases, maybe It’s still related to Xi Le.”
The corners of Liu Yu's mouth twitched slightly and he murmured: "I knew that Xile had been operating in Jiankang City for many years and had strong underground power, but I didn't expect that he could actually fight for the control of these industries from a century-old family. Quan, it seems that I still underestimated Xile."
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "After the Battle of Feishui, Xile divorced his old wife and married Wang Xun's niece. It was with the dual power of the Wang family and the Baihu family that he was able to move quickly in the city. The expansion and development of the country. Most of those who follow Xile are retired veterans of our Beifu Army, and many are gangsters and green forest strongmen who have been following him since he was in Jingkou. These people have actually been on the battlefield and killed people, and their combat effectiveness is unparalleled. In the capital, it is difficult for servants and servants of major families to be rivals, so in just a few years, Xile took over a lot of property and became the underground big brother of Jiankang City."
Yu Yue sighed: "Yes, those few years were really bloody. Almost every night, there would be unknown gunfire and murder cases. I heard the manager of our family said that Liu Yi personally took people there a few times. He has organized melees for hundreds of people. Of course, he has a cunning but disciplined approach, which is to avoid hurting anyone as much as possible. However, those who are his enemies will without exception have their hands and feet broken, or at least one arm cut off. Unable to fight."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "This is the great thing about Xile. In fact, for the opponent's thugs, maiming them is no different than killing them. Even the maimed people need to continue to be supported by the master's family, otherwise they will really be kicked out. It will chill other people's hearts. This is how the management rights of several big restaurants and gambling houses that I know come from. There are rules among aristocratic families and they are not allowed to interfere with other people's properties. But because of this, like this On the second floor of Lin Tavern, Yu Gong didn't even know whose family was next door. A big family could only fight dozens of servants, but Xile had hundreds of heroes who could fight alone. Whichever family is almost always guaranteed to win."
Liu Yu nodded: "Mu Zhi, I understand why you brought me here. You don't expect to find out the real culprit of Kuang Zhi's murder case, but you want me to see a real Jiankang City."
Liu Muzhi turned his eyes to Shopkeeper Li on the side: "Shopkeeper Li, you are a smart person and know what can and cannot be said. But with our Mr. Liu here, these darkness under the sun will eventually disappear. If you go and never come back, you can run this restaurant upright and with your head held high, and you don’t have to worry about anyone causing you to die."
There were tears in shopkeeper Li's eyes. This time, he was sincere: "Mr. Liu, can Gong Liu really protect us humble people?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "In my eyes, all living beings in the world are equal, and there is no inherent distinction between superiority and inferiority. I, Liu Yu, am just a farmer in Jingkou. I have achieved my current status through my own efforts. Many of our Beifu soldiers are He started like this. As long as he is willing to work hard in life, he will always have a chance to get ahead. If the children of aristocratic families do not want to make progress and make contributions, they will not be able to occupy the power of the world for a long time. I did not raise the army to overthrow Huan Xuan just to become a Another Huan Xuan, but for the sake of all people in the world, so that they can live with pride and pride and not be bullied by others!"
A trace of uneasiness flashed across Yu Yue's face. Seeing the extremely excited Shopkeeper Li who was bowing and saluting in front of Liu Yu, he coughed softly: "Shopkeeper Li, how was the murder case the night before yesterday handled in the end? "
Shopkeeper Li quickly wiped the tears on his face and said: "As usual, we are not responsible for handling this kind of thing. Afterwards, some men in black came upstairs. The leader of them told me to keep quiet, otherwise my store would be demolished. , leaving my entire family dead, and then these people never came down again."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "I understand, go down, shopkeeper Li."
Shopkeeper Li breathed a sigh of relief and bowed before retreating. Liu Yu turned around to go upstairs and said, "I'm going to take a look at the scene of the murder. There may be traces."
Liu Muzhi waved his hand: "No need, Jinu, there are obviously secret passages in these places, and the person who did it must have sealed the secret passage and will not leave any clues to us."
Liu Yu frowned. He thought of how he followed Wang Miaoyin in Jianjing Temple and passed through a long underground secret passage directly out of the palace. Jiankang City was connected in all directions, and along with the underground Qinhuai River The water channel can be accessed from anywhere, and the same is true for this small tavern. I am afraid that Liu Kuangzhi's body has been moved away from the secret channel long ago, and it will be impossible to find it in this life.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu stopped, but still felt a little unwilling: "Since he died like this, don't you want to check for some clues? Maybe through a comprehensive search, we can find some traces."
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "This is not necessary. The entire underground of Jiankang City is full of waterways extending in all directions. It is impossible to find clues. We are starting a great business. We do not have the time and energy to do such a thing. Moreover, a comprehensive search , will offend almost all the aristocratic families in the city, Yu Gong, I think you don’t want us to investigate your family property now."
Yu Yue's forehead began to sweat, and he forced a smile: "This, this is all up to Liu Gong. However, it is not as cold as a day. The property in our hands is also inherited from our father's ancestors. If... …”
Liu Yu waved his hand and interrupted him: "Yu Gong is worried too much. We are new to the city and don't want to be enemies with the high family. I just hope that in the future we will have national laws and regulations. It is best for these industries to be reported to the government and operated legally." , if there is another incident that hurts people's lives and maims people's bodies, Lord Liu and I will pursue it. I also hope you can tell the big families that everyone is an official of the court and should take the lead in abiding by the law. If we don’t abide by the law, how can we get people to abide by it?”
Yu Yue gritted her teeth: "How dare you ask Liu Gong, Xi Le him..."
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly, which made Yu Yue stop talking: "I will talk to Xi Le. If the situation changes, it will be the same for him!"
