When people around him saw that Yu Lie didn't move, they thought that Yu Lie was afraid of the ghost soldiers, so someone called out: "Tou'er Yu, if you follow Du Tou on your own initiative, you don't have to worry about the ghost soldiers sucking your blood."
Some people didn't bother to speak out: "This guy named Yu is really shameless. Du Tou takes care of him like this, and he's just pretending."
Others gloated: "Hey! Maybe he was scared. When the ghost soldiers pounce on him, they will only become more stupid."
Luobotou and Lao Hu also reacted.
The former's face was slightly pale, looking at the black air in the air with a frightened expression. The latter took a breath, kicked the carrot head quickly, and whispered: "Hurry up, you will go to the Yaofang Hall later and ask for an audience with Mr. Fang on Brother Yu's behalf..."
Discussions started again.
Du Liang waited for a few seconds and saw that Yu Lie didn't move, just staring at him.
His brows furrowed slightly and his voice became colder:
"Yu Lie, brother, I have given you a lot of respect today. You hurt your colleagues in the alchemy room for no reason. You must go to the yamen. Don't let brother have to do it!"
Swish! The eyes of everyone present were even more focused on Yu Lie.
But a chuckle suddenly sounded.
Yu Lie stared at Du Liang and said crisply:
"Du, who are you? You are worthy of being called 'brother' in front of Yu!"
His voice was clear and sneer, like a ladle of cold water, cooling down all the mutterings at the scene.
Everyone stared at Yu Lie in shock, unable to react for a moment.
Even Du Liang himself was holding the sign with a dazed look on his face, thinking he had heard the wrong words.
But immediately, Du Liang realized that he had heard correctly. His face twitched and he stared at Yu Lie with sinister eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person.
With a cold snort, Du Liang grabbed the sign, waved his hand to let the ghost soldiers fall, and tied up Yu Lie. But at the moment he was about to wave, he frowned again and hesitated.
Du Liang's eyes were filled with surprise, and he thought to himself: "I have carefully investigated the background of this Yu Lie, and he just doesn't have much to do with that Mr. Fang. Why does he dare to be so presumptuous today... Could there be someone else behind him? "
Du Liang was struggling, with thousands of thoughts in his mind, and gritted his teeth:
"Never mind! I'm going by the rules today, and I'm going to take this guy to the Yamen first. If someone comes to pick him up then, just ignore him. Anyway, the trouble will not come to my head."
He glanced at the round-faced Taoist boy beside him who looked ecstatic, and sneered in his heart.
It turns out that since the last time he lost a fortune in a gambling house, Du Liang had been suspicious of Yu Lie's sudden wealth, suspected that Yu Lie had a chance, and was eyeing Yu Lie.
For more than half a month, this person had acted cautiously. First, he personally inquired about Yu Lie's background, and then asked people to spread rumors and test whether Yu Lie had any other backers in the alchemy room.
After waiting for a while, Du Liangcai confirmed that Yu Lie had been a poor Taoist boy before, but he was just poor and rich at the same time. Therefore, he used the excuse that Yu Lie had been absent from work for too long and asked someone to take his place.
In this way, he could not only accept a bribe first to subsidize the gambling money, but also let the round-faced Taoist boy conflict with Yu Lie, while he stayed in the dark and watched the situation.
As Du Liang had expected today, Yu Lie had a conflict with the round-faced Taoist boy after Yu Lie's vicious attack, which gave him a good excuse to handcuff Yu Lie.
As long as Yu Lie is tortured into the Yamen, the people can break Yu Lie's bones and suck out his marrow, and squeeze out Yu Lie's way to make a fortune!
After Du Liang made his decision, he looked at Yu Lie and smiled ferociously in his heart: "No one can be rich without a windfall. How dare you bluff me! If no one comes to claim you in the future, I will squeeze the oil out of your bones for you!"
Woohoo!
The poisonous ghost soldiers circled and immediately followed Du Liang's finger and pounced on the remaining columns.
The cold is rising!
The faces of the Taoist boys who were close to the remaining columns changed and they hurriedly stepped back. Lao Hu also pulled the carrot head and quickly stepped back.
Yu Lie was still staring at Du Liang, his expression unchanged.
I saw him facing the rushing ghost soldiers and scolding:
"Poison-mouthed Taoist boy, if you commit the following offense, please capture him quickly!"
Its sound was like thunder, exploding in the ears of the Taoist boys around, making people frightened.
But what made the Taoist boys' eyes widen even more was that after the black energy hit Yu Lie's head, as soon as they heard the scolding, they immediately turned around and flew away.
Whoosh! The ghost soldier took the form of a human and landed behind the round-faced Taoist boy. The face of the round-faced Taoist boy who was originally ecstatic suddenly froze.
The man's face turned pale, his heels turned up involuntarily, and his body straightened up and became stiff.
The ghost soldiers torture people by sticking to the prisoner's back, almost like a parasitic possessor, making the prisoner unable to move on his own and subject to the orders of the orderer.
The round-faced Taoist boy was suddenly paralyzed. He felt his body was cold, and it felt like someone was pressing against him behind him. It was bone-chilling. He immediately panicked and shouted:
"Save me, Du Tou, save me!"
A loud shout rang out, waking the others.
Du Liang and the other Taoist boys looked at Yu Lie in surprise, their eyes dim again.
They clearly saw Yu Lie slowly take out a sign from his sleeve and wave it in front of their eyes.
When everyone saw Yu Lie taking out the sign, their eyes suddenly became dazed. Someone with sharp eyes was the first to ask, "What is this sign..."
"Middle Taoist!"
"When did these remaining columns get promoted to the rank of middle-ranking Taoist boy?!"
"He's only been here for a few months!?"
There were people constantly staring at Yu Lie with doubts and disbelief.
Luobotou, Lao Hu and others also looked confused. They were stunned for a long time before they thought: "Could it be that Mr. Yu has been in seclusion these days to break through and be promoted to the middle position..."
Only then did everyone realize that the reason why Yu Lie didn't panic at all when facing Du Liang and the ghost soldiers was because he was also a middle-rank Taoist boy and had the same status as Du Liang.
As for the medal in Yu Lie's hand, it was the bronze status medal he had received after being promoted to the middle rank of Taoist boy.
The middle-rank Taoist boy has many privileges in the town. Bronze medals can be used in all major houses. The role of commanding ghost soldiers is only one of them.
Although Yu Lie had just taken the initiative to beat up the round-faced Taoist boy, because he was a middle-level Taoist boy and the opponent was a lower-level Taoist boy, as long as Yu Lie did not kill him, the restriction in the ghost soldier's body would not be triggered.
On the contrary, no matter what the reason is, as long as the lower Taoist provokes the middle Taoist, it is reasonable and weak. The middle Taoist boy can call the ghost soldiers to restrain the opponent at any time, but he can no longer use lynching. He has to go to the Yamen to judge.
in the field,
Du Liang's expression was filled with surprise and uncertainty. He looked at Yu Lie who was right in front of him, and suddenly felt that Yu Lie's smile was extremely dazzling and sarcastic.
The round-faced Taoist boy next to him turned pale, and screamed even more tremblingly: "No! Go away, go away! Spare your life..."
The sound made Du Liang feel even more harsh.
Du Liang's expression changed, and he suddenly waved the sign, causing the ghost soldiers to silence the round-faced Taoist boy, making the scene suddenly quieter.
Then Du Liang took a deep breath and said to Yu Lie, "Brother Yu, when did you get promoted to a middle-rank Taoist boy?"
His face was like a chameleon's, and he managed to squeeze out a smile, but it was just not flattering.
Yu Lie looked at the other party's dry smile and said interestingly: "Recently."
"Haha, congratulations." Du Liang laughed dryly a few more times, then suddenly cupped his hands towards Yu Lieyi and said:
"Since Brother Yu is already a middle-ranking Taoist boy, today's matter is naturally a misunderstanding. Brother Yu will have full authority to handle it."
After saying that, Du Liang looked around with a tense expression, then decisively turned around and left quickly.
Today's calculation was wrong. He didn't expect that Yu Lie was already a middle-ranking Taoist boy, and he made a joke. Naturally, he had to interrupt the plan immediately and evade it quickly.
Lest he be unable to restrain himself later and offend Yu Lie even more, making it completely difficult to turn around and making enemies!
At this time, Du Liang still didn't know. In fact, Yu Lie had understood his plan early on.
After turning around, Du Liang bit his gums until they bled:
"Damn it! How long has it taken for this remaining column to complete the transformation of 'like a wolf and like a tiger'? It's less than half a year! How can he complete the 'copper ribs and iron bones' again and become a middle-ranking Taoist boy?
Where does the money come from? Why didn't he go on the field to fight with Gao Li? "
At the same time, Du Liang suddenly felt a burst of regret in his heart, regretting that he had not taken action earlier and had not rushed to take advantage of Yu Lie before he broke through the retreat. Otherwise, if he had done it earlier, he might have made a fortune.
His face was gloomy and he walked away quickly.
But suddenly a voice rang out from behind Du Liang again, causing him to stop in his tracks:
"Du Tou, please stay!" was Yu Lie's voice.
Du Liang didn't want to talk to him, so he decided to leave. But Yu Lie's next words forced him to stay still.
"The positions in the town should be occupied by those who are capable. Dutou, I see you as incompetent and want to replace you."
I saw Yu Lie standing behind Du Liang, folding his hands and saying with a smile:
"Since there are so many colleagues present who can serve as witnesses, then it is better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. Please ask Du Tou to abdicate today and leave the poisonous mouth?"
Two sentences in succession rang clearly in the ears of the poisonous Taoist boys.
Everyone's face was stunned, their heads were dazed, and their eyes were in a trance. There were also people who looked like they were watching a big show and were extremely excited.
