County government office, when Xiao Liu came back, Lou Zhixian and Lao Xing were already waiting for him in the meeting hall.
Xiaoliu walked straight into the meeting hall. He bowed and saluted Lou Zhixian with clasped fists.
Lou Zhixian was not polite. He waved his hand and asked Xiao Liu directly about the corpse.
Xiaoliu didn't hide anything. He truthfully reported to Lou Zhixian that the bandits paid to kill him. At the same time, he also told that the bandits who escaped would probably hire someone to rescue the rest of the mountain. A matter of thieves.
Lou Zhixian was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that this group of bandits would be so difficult to deal with. The trouble was getting bigger and bigger, and they even hired underworld killers.
Just when Lou Zhixian was panicking, Xiao Liu clasped his fists and said that he had come up with a way to wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop when he came back this time.
Lou Zhixian was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly asked Xiao Liu to come and listen. However, Xiao Liu did not say too much, but said that he wanted to ask a master of martial arts to help, and he was still in the process of asking for help.
Lou Zhixian and Lao Xing both nodded when they heard this. They knew that Xiao Liu's martial arts was taught by an expert, and they thought that the expert Xiao Liu mentioned was that expert.
Although Lou Zhixian is not a member of the Jianghu community, he also knows that people in the Jianghu community generally do not like to deal with the government, just as they do not want to deal with people in the Jianghu community.
So he didn't ask any more questions, but asked Xiao Liusu to ask the expert to take action, and promised that all the expenses would be paid by the Yamen, and as long as he could exterminate the bandits, he would be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!
Lou Zhixian was forced to have no choice. The gangsters were so courageous that they dared to buy the murder officer. Who knows if they would buy the murderer themselves if this continued.
When Xiao Liu heard this, he clasped his fists in joy and responded at this moment.
"Your Excellency, Miss Guo from Tongfu Inn came to report that there is an urgent matter and needs to call Deputy Yan to arrest the head." A government official came to report that it was someone from Tongfu Inn who came to report something.
Tongfu Inn was very familiar to the three people present, and even Lou Zhixian knew who the name Miss Guo was. Lou Zhixian looked at Xiaoliu.
Xiao Liu bowed and clasped his fists and said, "Sir, if nothing happens, Xiao Liu will leave first."
"Well, go ahead!" Lou Zhixian also waved his hand.
Lao Xing was also very curious about what was going on, and he was ready to resign, but he was kept by Lou Zhixian.
Arriving at the gate of the county government office, Xiao Liu saw Xiao Guo circling anxiously back and forth at the gate.
Seeing Xiao Guo's anxious look, Xiao Liu smiled and said, "What happened, Xiao Guo?"
When Xiao Guo saw Xiao Liu appear and saw the relaxed smile on his face, her heart calmed down. She quickly said to Xiao Liu:
"Xiao Liu, a gangster just came to this store. Lao Bai said he might be a killer who came to kill you."
"Yeah!" Xiaoliu's eyes narrowed when he heard this. Is the second one coming?
He asked Xiao Guo: "Where is he now?"
"I'm at the inn, Lao Bai is watching." Xiao Guo replied quickly.
"Okay, let's go." With that, Xiao Liu walked towards the direction of Tongfu Inn, and Xiao Guo quickly followed.
. . . . . .
At this time, in the inn, Lao Bai was staring at the stairs, and the other three shopkeepers were also gathered in the lobby.
However, Lao Bai did not tell everyone about the killer. Lao Bai knew very well that there were many people talking, so he only told the shopkeeper about it.
Xiucai was what he overheard when Lao Bai told Xiao Guo just now, and as for Big Mouth. . .
"Ouch!" The door opened, and Lao Bai hurriedly hid downstairs, but the one who just opened the door was not a killer.
Rather.
"Hey, I came down so early and didn't have much rest." Da Zui said hello as soon as he saw Hui Lan's father appearing at the stairs.
The reason why Da Zui is not in the kitchen but always in the lobby is because of Hui Lan.
In normal times, the shopkeeper would have to deal with the loudmouth who left his post without permission, but at this time, the shopkeeper was not in the mood to take care of him.
Father Yang also smiled politely at Big Mouth, and then he went to move the big box placed at the entrance of the stairs.
Dazui saw this and rushed forward to greet him.
"Hey, I'll do it, I'll do it, how can I let you come?" Dazui quickly stepped forward to snatch this task.
"This thing is very heavy, you can't do it." Lao Yang looked at Dazui and said.
When Da Zui heard this, he quickly retorted: "You can do this, can I still do it?"
With that said, Dazui went to move the big box, but the box was indeed extremely heavy. Dazui used all his strength to suck it, but it still didn't move at all.
Dazui looked up and found that Yang Huilan had also come out. He quickly said with a smile: "Oh my god, this thing is really heavy."
Seeing him like this, Yang Huilan didn't laugh at him, but chuckled and said, "Let me do it."
With that said, Yang Huilan stretched out her hand and grabbed the rope on the box, and then with her slender arms, she lifted the box up effortlessly.
When Yang Huilan walked past Dazui, she smiled politely at Dazui, but this smile took away Dazui's soul.
Dazui looked at Yang Huilan's back infatuatedly, while Lao Bai looked at Yang Huilan solemnly.
'This man is a master. I wonder if he is another killer who came to kill Xiao Liu? '
Yang Huilan's back disappeared from sight, and Dazui quickly came to his senses. He saw that Yang's father was still there taking other things, and he quickly went over to help.
After everything was tidied up, Father Yang loudly announced to everyone:
"Hey, we're setting up a stage at Dongjiekou for a competition to recruit brides. If you are interested, you can come and give it a try!"
"A contest to recruit a bride?" Dazui's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly pulled Yang's father to ask. "Are there any requirements for this martial arts competition to recruit a bride?"
"There are no requirements. All you need is the registration fee of two cents, and then bring some medicine for sores. If you are missing an arm or a leg, you can stop the bleeding in time and not die." Father Yang looked at Da Zui and said, Da Zui said. The mouth can't even lift a box, so if you go up there, you're looking for death.
"Death!" Big Mouth was shocked when he heard this.
Seeing Dazui's frightened look, Yang's father also knew that he had scared him, and quickly patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, with your physique, you will be disabled at most."
"Disabled!" But this also scared Big Mouth quite a bit.
When Father Yang saw this, he stopped trying to persuade him. He knew there was absolutely no hope for Da Zui. He shook his head, took his things and went out.
Dongjiekou is actually at the corner of Tongfu Inn, near the bulletin board.
At this time, Xiao Liu and Xiao Guo happened to come over and saw a stage being set up there. Xiao Liu took a curious look and saw that it was indeed Yang Huilan and his daughter who were setting up the stage there.
Xiao Guo looked at Xiao Liu and looked over there, especially when she saw that the flag on that side actually had the words "competition to recruit a bride" written on it. She quickly pulled Xiao Liu into the inn.
