After he gained a certain level of strength in the local area, he began to transform and operate casinos, brothels, and loan sharks.

At that time, the two largest local casinos went bankrupt one after another, and the casino business was also accepted by Liu Ershu.

Some people suspect that Liu Ershu was secretly making trouble, otherwise how could those two casinos go bankrupt at the same time?

But no one dares to speak out, and no one can find conclusive evidence.

Liu Ershu also proudly merged the two casinos and became the local leading casino tycoon.

He used casinos and brothels to make huge profits, and used this to prey on many children of wealthy families in the area.

A rich young man couldn't extricate himself after entering the casino. The housekeeper came to pick people up, while Liu Ershu offered a sky-high price to rescue people and doubled down on his family until his family was destroyed.

Anyone who owes usury loans, Liu Ershu will send Xia Duo to collect debts.

If a person who owes debts does not pay the silver, Xia Duo will order the person to be bedridden at the least, and the person to be cut off his hands and feet to serve as a warning.

A fat shop owner who owed thirty taels of silver, Liu Ershu ordered people to cut off one hand and one foot, and cut it into a disabled person. The thirty taels of silver eventually fell into Liu Ershu's pocket.

The romantic celebrity Bai Zhiruo also owed Liu Erdai 300 taels of usury due to his father's business failure.

When Liu Ershu saw that Bai Zhiruo was quite beautiful, he ordered him to go to the brothel to be a prostitute. Every day, the children of rich families went to squander, and half of the silver they earned were handed over to Liu Ershu until he paid off three hundred taels of silver.

Bai Zhiruo's body was covered with jade day and night, and she was exhausted both physically and mentally, and eventually died of illness in a brothel.

Liu Ershu took advantage of human weaknesses and material desires to acquire local brothels and lend money to usury, which made huge profits for years.

Those rich children and those who have entered brothels who have owed usury will either die or have their hands and feet cut off. Life is worse than death. Liu Ershu's cruel methods are outrageous, but they can't do anything about it.

Three years ago, Liu Ershu was not satisfied with the current situation and wanted to become an official, so he spent a lot of money to donate a county magistrate, equivalent to the deputy of the county magistrate.

A year later, the county magistrate Shangmu, who was in his prime, died of illness for some reason, and the position of county magistrate was temporarily replaced by county magistrate.

The position of county magistrate should have been appointed by the emperor to succeed him, but after Liu Ershu learned the news, in order to continue acting as the county magistrate, Liu Ershu immediately sent someone to the superior prefect, took out a large amount of money to bribe, and asked the prefect to cover up the death of the county magistrate and let him continue to act as the county magistrate, the reason why appointing a new county magistrate at this time would disrupt local government affairs.

After the prefect accepted the bribe, he quickly agreed to Liu Erxu's request.

When Liu Ershu was appointed, he immediately ordered the blockade of the news and did not allow officials to disclose the death of the county magistrate to the outside world.

At the same time, he donated money everywhere to win over officials to unite under his command.

Those officials who wanted to inform the truth soon died of a crime and no one knew the truth.

He then took over the greatest power of the local government.

The people here are suffering, but they can't do anything.

At this time, Liu Ershu dressed in home clothes and came to the court with the servant holding an oil lamp beside him. He saw three people kneeling in the hall and were tied up!

Seeing that they were not dressed like locals, they asked, "Who is the one in the hall? Who is the drum beat?"

"I tied people, and I beat drums!" Xia Duo said unambiguously: "Just these three 'Laohai' (people from the rivers and lakes) who claimed to have come from within, I have injured and traumatized several of my brothers! I wanted to kill them on the spot, but if you think about it carefully, it would be better to send you to the second uncle, you will go through the court for review first."

After listening to this, Liu Ershu felt confident, so he changed into the county magistrate's green official uniform and went directly to the court for questioning!

Liu Ershu sat in the public desk, slapped the agglomeration, and asked, "Who is in the hall? Let's sign up!"

Jiang Mingyu, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up at Liu Ershu and replied righteously: "I am surnamed Jiang, named Mingyu, and courtesy name Xingqiu. He is a fifth-rank imperial envoy, and is ordered to investigate the case!" Immediately afterwards, Tuxluo and Li Xuanren signed up for himself.

After the three of them reported their names one after another, everyone in the hall gasped!

Even Liu Ershu, who was sitting in the case table, was stunned and almost slid down from the chair!

"What are the imperial envoys sent to our remote areas?" Xia Duo approached Liu Ershu's ear and said timidly: "Since it is an imperial envoy, why don't you come to the county government first to meet, but check in the inn by yourself?"

Liu Ershu: "Then do you think..."

General Shado: "Are they liars?"

Liu Ershu: "How do you say this?"

General Xia Duo: "Earlier... I was in the aisle of Rumeng Xiaoye. They knew slander and must be from the world!"

Then, Liu Ershu took a photo of the gavel and asked: "The imperial envoy has no evidence, how can I prove it?"

Jiang Mingyu replied: "I have a token and official document in my luggage. You will know if you have picked it up and see it."

The yamen runners took the luggage they found from the inn from the troupe and presented it to Liu Ershu. When they opened it, they found that there was indeed a golden token, a official document, and a Vajra mace.

Liu Ershu held the golden token in front of him, looked left and right at the word above, muttering the words: "Is this word 'nan'? or 'bei'? What kind of word is this... It looks like the word 'chao', and the heels on the back seems to be 'ting'?" Liu Ershu looked surprised, and his fingers holding the token were white. Obviously, he never thought that he would encounter such a documentary problem.

Seeing this, General Xia Duo hurried over to study together, and was also confused.

He pointed to the words on the official document and barely recognized the word "long". As a result, he did not recognize any of the words he followed, and almost mistakenly recognized the word "long".

These two illiterate people studied for a long time and only recognized a few numbers, and the pain was beyond words.

Liu Ershu and General Xia Duo have been in the world of life, and their educational level is not high. In addition, they have not been exposed to documents for a long time, and they suddenly encountered the token documents, and immediately revealed their true illiteracy. This helplessness and embarrassment make people laugh.

Although the two of them are familiar with putting pressure on others, they become at a loss when they read and write. The contrast between the images is so great that it is really interesting.

"Hurry...go and invite 'Mr. Wu'." Liu Ershu instructed.

"Then, that, that..." Xia Duo stammered: "Mr. Wu... was beaten by the people under my hands in the afternoon. It is now that the person is still lying on the bed and can't come down. I'm afraid he can't come!"

"What?!" Liu Ershu opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise: "You have whipped the person up!"

In the past two years, Liu Ershu has relied on an old scholar in the county, a teacher, and a doctor to help him read and write documents. Unfortunately, the old scholar died of illness at the beginning of the year, and the doctor "Sanmu" happened to go to the neighboring county to practice medicine and was not in the county. At this time, Mr. Wu, the only literate person in the county, asked Xia Duo and others to get disabled!

Liu Ershu said in great anger: "Don't you just owe more than ten or twenty taels of silver? As for the person being seriously injured?"

Liu Ershu felt that his head was too big at the moment. The golden token and official documents in front of him made his already dull head even more difficult to turn.

And the person who can solve the current difficulties is one who dies of illness and the other travels far away. Mr. Wu, the only one who can rely on, is crippled again.

Now what exactly is the token document written and what should I do? Liu Ershu is so helpless that he hurts his mind.

Xia Duo was also suffering. He said: "Nine out and thirteen returns, and the profits are rising. Now it has reached 218 taels!"

Xia Duo also felt that at this moment he seemed to have fallen into the quagmire left by the passion of fighting, and the problems in front of him really made him feel overwhelmed.

He really couldn't figure out why Mr. Wu was injured. His embarrassment seemed to have caused trouble for Liu Ershu. Xia Duo didn't know how to explain to the other party for a while.

They are very good at being arrogant and putting pressure on others, but now, the problems in front of them are so much that they can't breathe.
