Feiying and others thanked Wu Yuan. Feiyun saw that Li Wu and Ruoxue had escaped, and there was no sign of Li Zhen. Liangchen believes that the boat gang must have other secret lairs, and it seems that they have to find another way to deal with them.
Feiyun nodded and agreed with Liangchen. But Wu Yuan said that the Boat Gang's main altar has been destroyed now, and the Boat Gang has become a lost dog, so there is no need to worry. Wu Yuan ordered the officers and soldiers to burn the boat gang's main altar, and then everyone returned to Nanyang City.
Zhang Jianzhi was overjoyed when he learned that the boat gang's headquarters had been breached and many people were captured alive. Zhang Jianzhi and Magistrate Wang immediately arranged a banquet to reward everyone.
After the banquet, Zhang Jianzhi invited everyone to the hall to discuss how to deal with the escaped boat gang leaders Li Zhen, Li Wu and Ruoxue. Some people think that a wanted person should be profiled, while others think that he should be investigated secretly. There is no consensus.
Zhang Jianzhi was undecided for a moment and looked at Liangchen. Liangchen understood and said that he really wanted to order the arrest of Li Zhen, Li Wu and Ruoxue, and also to ban the Boat Gang and Longqianzhuang, two gangs that were causing harm to the people.
Liangchen also asked to send personnel to inquire about information. At the same time, Feiyun was asked to go to the martial arts school and the escort agency to ask for their help. The disciples of Nanyang Martial Arts School are all over the city and outside, so they are naturally well-informed.
Zhang Jianzhi thought it made sense and immediately arranged it one by one. Feiyun also said that Bafang Escort Bureau and Fang Ming had done a lot for the court this time, and asked Zhang Jianzhi to reward them.
Zhang Jianzhi thought for a while and decided to reward Zheng Lang to run Sihai Bank. Zhang Jianzhi also rewarded Fang Ming with a hundred taels of gold and appointed Fang Ming as the chief arrester of Nanyang. Fang Ming thought that the Wu family would need to be taken care of in the future, so he readily accepted Zhang Jianzhi's appointment. Zheng Lang was also very happy and thanked Zhang Jianzhi and Feiyun.
It was getting late at this time, Zheng Lang and Fang Ming stood up to say goodbye and prepared to return to the escort agency. Feiyun, Tianxiang, and Liangchen sent them outside the Yamen on behalf of Zhang Jianzhi before returning.
Wu Yuan then asked Zhang Jianzhi, Feiyun, and Liangchen what to do with the captured prisoners. Zhang Jianzhi looked at Feiyun and asked for his opinion.
Feiyun hesitated for a moment and said: "Gaowei's bank has caused many people to lose their lives. Gao Wei of Sihai Bank is the culprit who has done many evil things and should be executed in public. As for the other disciples, please ask Magistrate Wang to verify them one by one. If there are any Those who have committed crimes should be given appropriate punishment. Those who have not committed serious crimes can have their martial arts disabled and be driven back to the countryside."
Zhang Jianzhi nodded, agreed to Feiyun's suggestion, and ordered Wu Yuan and County Magistrate Wang to follow Feiyun's wishes and start implementing it the next day. Everyone discussed for a while and then went to rest.
Early the next morning, Wu Yuan and Magistrate Wang interrogated and convicted the dozens of arrested ordinary gang members one by one. Under the protection of Fang Ming, Qiucao and Dongxue, Lian'er came to the government office to treat the officers and soldiers injured yesterday.
Feiyun said hello to Zhang Jianzhi, took Feiying, Feixiang, Tianxiang, Liangchen and beautiful scenery, left the government office and walked to Nanyang Martial Arts School. They passed by Yanyu Restaurant and saw Yang Feng leading people to rebuild the restaurant. Feiyun chatted with him for a few words before moving on.
More than an hour later, six people arrived at the Nanyang Martial Arts Hall and asked to see the two gym owners. Zhao Zheng and Qian Yi heard that Feiying, Feiyun and others had arrived, and hurriedly came out in person to invite the six people into the hall.
Feiying knew that the two museum owners and Feiyun and others had not met yet, so he introduced them to both parties. Everyone greeted each other, and Zhao Zhengzheng asked Feiyun and others to take a seat.
After Feiyun sat down, a good time and beautiful scenery stood behind him. When Zhao Zheng and Qian Yi saw this, although they felt strange, they didn't ask any more questions.
Zhao Zheng first said: "Young Master Lin, yesterday showed his great power at the foot of Wolong Mountain and on the bank of Baihe River, wiping out two evil gangs in one fell swoop. It's very admirable!"
Feiyun replied humbly: "Thank you, the owner of the museum. It was only possible with the joint efforts of all my colleagues in the martial arts world that we were able to succeed. It was not due to the efforts of the next person."
Qian Yi then asked: "With such a grand event, why didn't Young Hero send someone to inform our martial arts school so that we can follow you in the limelight? Does Young Hero look down on our martial arts school?"
Liangchen hurriedly replied: "Master Qian, what you said is untrue. My eldest brother heard Mr. Zheng introduce the martial arts gym in detail and admired the martial arts gym. Yesterday's battle at Zijin Mountain happened suddenly, so there was no time to know. Meet the two seniors. Besides, good steel is used on the blade. To deal with these two scum, there is no need to trouble the two seniors to take action. However, there is a very difficult thing to solve now, and you need your help. I just don’t know what the two guilds are doing. Is the Lord willing?”
Liangchen's words not only explained the reason why the martial arts school was not invited yesterday, but also praised the martial arts gym by the way, which made Zhao Zheng and Qian Yi feel extremely comfortable. After all, everyone loves to hear nice compliments.
Zhao Zheng smiled and said: "Miss Liangchen is overrated. If you have any orders, please speak frankly."
Liangchen said hurriedly: "We don't dare to take orders seriously. After yesterday's battle, the Boat Gang and Sihai Bank have disappeared. We wanted to eradicate the roots, but we have no clue."
The Boat Gang and Sihai Bank are becoming more and more powerful in Nanyang, and Nanyang Martial Arts School cannot accept it. It's just that they didn't provoke the Beggar Martial Arts School, so the Martial Arts School couldn't force their way forward.
Now that someone is taking the lead in dealing with these two factions, it is naturally a good thing for the martial arts school. In addition, Feiyun had an unusual relationship with Mr. Zheng, Zhao Zheng and Zhou Qianyi naturally would not refuse.
Zhao Zheng immediately understood what Liangchen meant and said with a smile: "Shaoxia Lin, Miss Liangchen, you want us to find out their lair, right?"
Feiyun nodded and replied: "Two masters, we know that your disciples are all locals of Nanyang and are well-informed. Any troubles in Nanyang City cannot escape the eyes of your disciples. Therefore, I took the liberty to come to ask for help. I hope you can help!”
Zhao Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Young Master Lin, since you have spoken, our martial arts school must do our best to help."
Feiyun was overjoyed and immediately raised his hands and said: "In that case, thank you two helmsmen!" Zhu Zheng returned the courtesy: "Liu Shaoxia, you don't have to be polite. This is just a piece of cake for this gang. But what should we do if we have news? Inform the young hero?" Liu Shui thought for a moment and said, "I will be at the Jiedushi Yamen for the time being. You can contact me there!" Zhou Yi asked doubtfully, "I heard that the Jiedushi has been replaced and the new one is here. The Jiedu envoys are Gao Qiong and his wife who made great achievements in pacifying the Southern Tang Dynasty. Does Liu Shaoxia know them?"
Liangchen smiled and said: "To be honest with you two helmsmen, my young master is the future husband of Princess Gao." Zhu Zheng and Zhou Yi were shocked, stood up in a hurry, saluted, and said: "It turns out that the young master is a county horse ! Disrespectful!" Liu Shui had no choice but to stand up and return the greeting: "You two helmsmen, you don't have to be polite. I don't care about the princes and horses, I only care about the morality of the world. I just don't want to make this matter public, so I ask the two helmsmen to keep it secret." Liu Shui said. Shui's words are true. He is not interested in high-ranking officials in the imperial court and is only interested in traveling freely. This was Liu Shui's personal privacy, so Zhu Zheng and Zhou Yi naturally agreed.
Liu Shui's matter had been settled, and he immediately left a lot of gold and silver and said goodbye to the two helmsmen. Zhu Zheng and his wife originally didn't want to accept the gold and silver, but Liu Shui insisted, saying that the Beggar Clan helped him twice when he encountered difficulties, and he was grateful. The two helmsmen said that this was what they should do. They also knew that Liu Shui had just fought against the White Lotus Sect and the Dragon and Phoenix Sect, and had also sealed off gambling houses and boat gangs. Naturally, they thought that Liu Shui had to deal with a lot of things, so they did not try to persuade him to stay. He personally sent the three people outside the government office before turning back.
On the way, Meimei complained to Liangchen and said, "Why did you tell them about the marriage between the young master and the princess?" Liangchen smiled slightly and said, "I did it intentionally. Think about it, with the ability of the Beggar Clan, I'm afraid they would have known about it a long time ago. If we take the initiative to explain, doesn't it show that we treat people with sincerity? If we conceal it deliberately, it will make people think that we are not sincerely friends with them." After listening, Liu Shui nodded and said, "Beautiful scenery, Liangchen's words make sense. This matter originally It's an aboveboard matter, and there's no need to hide it. I'm just worried about causing resentment and alienation among people in the world, so I don't take the initiative to mention it."
The three of them walked while admiring the street scenes on both sides of Jinling. Liu Shui suddenly thought of White Lotus and the two of them, and asked: "Good times and beautiful scenery, are you sure you can persuade White Lotus and Red Lotus to submit?" Mei Mei thought for a while and said, "I think it's difficult. When I was at Lotus Villa , I heard that they were all orphans and had no one to rely on, so they were adopted by Yang Xuelian. Yang Xuelian was kind to them. He not only raised them up, but also taught them skills. They regarded Yang Xuelian as a relative and were extremely loyal to them. It is probably impossible to convince them to betray Yang Xuelian."
Liangchen thought for a while and said: "If this is the case, it is indeed difficult. But it depends on the human condition. Let's give it a try. If we can convince them, that would be the best. If it doesn't work, it will do no harm to us. At most, it will be a waste of breath and time. . Maybe we can learn some clues from their replies, and that's possible. I feel like it would be unbearable to kill them like this." Mei Mei sighed and said, "They are actually not heinous bad people. , just because you followed the wrong person, the crime will not lead to death! Master, what do you think?"
Liu Shui had already heard Liangchen and Meimei's regret and sympathy for the two lotuses, and understood their thoughts. The experiences and situations of good times and beautiful scenery are very similar to those of the two lotuses. It's just that the two lotuses grew up with Yang Xuelian, and were inevitably affected. From innocent girls, they turned into loyal subordinates who did not distinguish right from wrong. In fact, this is the same as Liangchen and Meimei's loyalty to him, it's just that I have more care for Liangchen and the two.
Liu Shui thought for a moment and replied slowly: "Don't worry, although they have done some evil things, they are still young and ignorant, and were deceived and instigated by others. Even if I cannot convince them, I will not take their lives." . Since I can let Ruoxue go, I can also let them both go. Give them some opportunities, and maybe one day they will find their way back!" After hearing this, Liangchen Meijing was naturally happy, and they all praised Master Liu Shui for his wealth. Liu Shui laughed and scolded the two of them for being flatterers.
The three of them talked and laughed and returned to Jiedushi Yamen. Gao Qiong and Murong Zaixing were handling official business in the lobby, so Liu Shui went directly to the backyard without disturbing them. When I went in, I saw Lian'er practicing swordsmanship in the yard. She was sweating profusely and her clothes were soaked and clinging to her body, revealing her uneven figure. Liu Shui was stunned and couldn't help but stop. Liangchen quietly pushed Liu Shui and said softly: "Master, I think Miss Lian'er is in a bad mood. You'd better go over and spend some time with her!" After that, he pulled Mei Mingfeng and left quickly.
Liu Shui was stunned for a moment and then understood what Liangchen meant. Since meeting Lian'er yesterday, he has never had a chance to talk to her alone. Lian'er doesn't care about other things, but she cares about his attitude towards her. When Liu Shui saw Lian'er practicing swordsmanship hard, he obviously thought that he disliked her low martial arts skills, so he was indifferent to her. Liu Shui couldn't help but feel grateful and pity in his heart when he thought of Lian'er leaving her parents and traveling across the world for her own sake.
Liu Shui felt extremely distressed when he saw her panting from exhaustion. He hurriedly stepped forward and said softly: "Lian'er, take a rest and stop practicing." Lian'er turned around and saw Liu Shui, then smiled slightly and stopped. Sword power. But as soon as she stopped, she felt dizzy and shaky. Liu Shui was shocked, and hurriedly put his arms around her slim waist, and said: "Lian'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Lian'er's face was flushed, and she whispered affectionately from the corner of her eyes: "Brother Shui, I It's okay, I just feel a little tired." Liu Shui said hurriedly: "Then I will carry you back to your room to rest!" He couldn't help but pick up Lian'er with both hands, walked into Lian'er's room, and placed her gently on the bed.
Liu Shui saw that Lian'er was sweating and her face was red, and knew that she had practiced excessively. He first found a towel, soaked it with warm water, and then gently wiped her sweat. Lian'er said softly: "Thank you Brother Shui." Liu Shui said with complaint: "You really shouldn't be allowed to practice martial arts. How can you not care about your body so much? Martial arts can't be practiced in one day. You should know this That makes sense. Why are you so eager for success?" Lian'er replied softly, "I hope I can help you more in the future."
Liu Shui said softly: "It's my fault. I haven't talked to you in the past two days. Are you thinking wildly? I have said before that your weight in my heart is no less than anyone else's. I won't allow this in the future. Whenever I have I will spend time with you." Lian'er smiled shyly and said, "I know, I'm too impatient, so be careful in the future." Liu Shui gently held Lian'er's jade hand and said, "This is My good girl!”
At this time, Liangchen and Meimei came in with a bathtub and hot water and said: "Master, Miss Lian'er has just finished practicing and is covered in sweat. You go out for a while, and we will take care of her. Everything will happen later. , please speak slowly!" It turned out that Liangchen Meili did not go far, but looked at the two people from a distance. When they saw Liu Shui carrying Lian'er into the room, they went to prepare hot water. Seeing that it was a good time and beautiful scenery, Lian'er blushed and thanked the two of them. Liu Shui nodded, stood up and came to the door.
After a while, Liangchen opened the door and whispered: "Master, it's your turn to go in and serve the young mistress! We'll wait outside the door if you need anything!" After that, He Meimei took the bathtub, left the room, and opened the door. close.
