Chu Xisheng flew for dozens of miles and when he returned to Chu's house in Xishan Town, he saw Wu Meiniang standing at the door of his house.

She was holding a cigarette, leaning against the stone lion at the gate, her eyebrows were furrowed, and her mind was wandering.

Chu Xisheng walked over with a pale face and looked at her coldly: "What happened to Qingyun? Something happened to him this time, why didn't you give me a message?"

"Palace Master Chu, are you asking me to punish you?"

After Wu Meiniang came to her senses, she shook her head slightly: "It's Qingyun who didn't let me talk. He didn't want to involve you. I also think it's best for you to just sit back and watch this matter. This is not something you can interfere with."

She flicked the ashes from her cigarette and said in a low and hoarse voice: "But since you took the initiative to ask, I will explain the situation to you clearly. These are Zuo Tianlu's enemies and they want to put them to death."

Chu Xisheng raised his eyebrows: "An enemy? What kind of enemy? You don't have the qualifications to ask me a question?"

"He is the young minister of Dali Temple at that time!"

Wu Meiniang blew out a puff of white smoke: "In the past, when Zuo Tianlu was serving as censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he impeached this man until he abandoned his post and was demoted to southern Xinjiang as an official. As a result, seven members of his family died due to the plague.

Five. Now that this person has been reinstated, he naturally tries every possible means to get revenge. Zuo Tianlu originally had a solid foundation in the court and had many colleagues as aid, but he was stupid enough to impeach "ten big bucks" and gave others the money.

Take advantage of the opportunity."

Wu Meiniang looked at Chu Xisheng: "The young minister of Dali Temple was called 'Ting Wei Zheng' in ancient times. He was the deputy of Ting Wei. He was in charge of the prisons and was responsible for hearing and investigating all serious prison cases in the world. He has a high position of authority. This person must be left behind."

It's easy to kill a family. If he wants to crush you to death for a mere eighth-level person, it's just as easy as crushing an ant to death.

Although you are now a well-known figure in Xiushui County, in the eyes of the Dali Temple Shaoqing, you are nothing. He can easily make you a wanted criminal by the court. The Wuxiang Shen Sect will not accept criminals.

Yes, there are people with court records who have entered the Shenzong. So for your future and your sister’s sake, you’d better avoid them as much as possible.”

Chu Xisheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face turned dark: "Is there no other way to think of it?"

"This case was decided by the emperor, and the Zuo family cannot overturn it. The only solution now is to use money to clear the case and reduce the punishment as much as possible."

Wu Meiniang chuckled: "Qingyun has entrusted me with his family wealth and asked me to clear it for him. You don't have to worry about this matter."

After she said this, she walked towards a carriage not far away.

Chu Xisheng looked at her back.

Just as Wu Meiniang was about to board the car, Chu Xisheng suddenly said: "Have you ever thought that the Young Minister of Dali Temple might not intend to give the Zuo family a chance to go to Beijing for trial? He will deal with them on the way to Beijing?"

Wu Meiniang was shocked when she heard this, and turned back to look at Chu Xisheng: "What's the explanation for this?"

"There is a big problem with those Tianya Jinyiwei. I wonder if you have checked it out?"

Chu Xisheng put his hands behind his back and spoke coldly: "They made the Zuo family live in the worst cell, gave them sour food, and even used some invisible method to torture the Zuo family.

Qingyun also hinted to me in his words that it would be useless even if he gave me money.

The strange thing is that I just went to the county town and only spent one thousand taels of magic silver. They allowed me to meet Qingyun and were very kind to me. Do you think this is strange? What is the situation? "

Wu Meiniang didn't know what she meant at first, but then her expression gradually changed: "Are you trying to say that they might have a guilty conscience?"

Since those Jinyi guards were full of malice towards the Zuo family, they could completely refuse Chu Xisheng to meet Zuo Qingyun.

But they just agreed.

——Unless these people are unwilling to anger Chu Xisheng, causing Chu Xisheng to take further actions, causing what they want to do to go sideways.

Wu Meiniang thought back to the situation when she entered the prison yesterday and met Zuo Qingyun, her face turned slightly dark.

There are many details that she can actually notice.

"Check it out and see the background of those Jin Yiwei. All the children in the Yamen are under their control. He is so worried that he dare not say anything to us."

Chu Xisheng's eyes darkened again, and he gave Wu Meiniang a warning look: "If you have any news, please let me know."

After he finished speaking, he walked directly into the gate of the Chu family.

Wu Meiniang stood there blankly, frowning.

She thought Chu Xisheng's guess was very reasonable.

The situation in the Zuo family was ten times worse than she had thought before!

The young minister of Dali Temple was also more ruthless than she imagined.

Wu Meiniang thought for a moment, then boarded the car without hesitation: "Let's go back to the county seat quickly!"

She had to check the background of these Tianya Jinyi guards to see who they were and how they were related to the young minister of Dali Temple.

※※※※

When Chu Xisheng walked into the front door of her house, she saw many people kneeling in the outer hall. Most of them were wearing linen shorts and leather jackets.

He was slightly startled when he saw this.

Looking at the clothes of these people, they seem to be hunters in the Western Mountains.

But Chu Xisheng was suspicious and couldn't be sure.

He thought it couldn't be so fast, right?

This blockade will not even last ten days.

According to Chu Xisheng's estimation, it would take two or three months for the hunters in Xishan to bow to him.

He waved and called Xiang Kui, who was in charge of patrolling the hall today.

"What's going on with these hunters? What happened in Xishan?"

"Lord Hall Master!"

Xiang Kui glanced at those people after saluting, and there was a bit of sneer on the corner of his lips: "The bandits in Xishan are looting and plundering in the mountains, especially food such as firewood, rice, oil and salt. These Orion villages can't hold on anymore, what about Zoujia Village?

, Qijia Village, Jijia Village, Yuanjia Village, a total of twenty-seven villages, everyone who should come has come, and those who shouldn't come have also come.

Those who were robbed hated the Xishan bandits deeply, and those who were not robbed were also worried that their family's money and food would not be safe, so they came together and asked for shelter in my Xishan Hall. The leader of our family is angry at them for not knowing what is good for them.

Arrogant Hou Gong, excuse me because you are not at home and leave them alone."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chu Xisheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Are those Xishan bandits very short of food? Can't help it so quickly?"

"This subordinate is not clear about this matter."

Xiang Kui also felt strange: "But these thieves are raised by the Shen family and the Xishan County Army, and their lives are very easy. They don't have the habit of storing food, so it's not a surprise."

Chu Xisheng thought that this statement made sense.

But this is just their guess, Lu Pingyuan still has to find out what the specific situation is.

At this time, the hunters who were kneeling on the ground also discovered Chu Xisheng's figure. They turned around and ran over, surrounded Chu Xisheng, and begged sincerely.

"Palace Master Chu, we finally have you back."

"Master Chu, we are willing to pay the money for safety, and ask Xishan Hall to take action to protect our safety."

"It was us who were ignorant and deceived by the Shen family before. Please ignore the past grudges, Hall Master Chu, and save us Xishan Orions from the sea of ​​fire."

"Those bandits in Xishan are so rampant! If this continues, none of us in Xishan will be able to survive."

"We have no other choice. I heard that Hall Master Chu is a chivalrous and benevolent man, so we shamelessly asked him to come over. There are also children in our village working under your command, Hall Master. For their sake, please give me some help.

A chance for us to repent."

Chu Xi thought, how could such a good thing happen?

We must not let go of the peace money issue so easily.

He had a smile on his face and looked very kind.

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

"Please keep me up. Chu is young and cannot bear such a big gift."

"The peace money issue can be discussed again. Please allow me to think about it carefully."

"Everyone, this is putting me in a difficult position. Ping An Money is exploiting the people, and I have actually considered abolishing it. As for the bandits inside Xishan, our Xishan Hall is more than capable. You know, our Iron Banner Gang is in conflict with the aristocratic families in the city.

The fight is so fierce that there is no time to be distracted."

Chu Xisheng's tone was very sincere, and he even helped the old people kneeling on the ground one by one, but refused to tell the truth.

These village chiefs and clan chiefs were all human beings. They knew the situation was not good as soon as they heard it, and they all knelt on the ground and refused to get up.

"Master Chu, please help us. Our twenty-seven villages and thousands of hunters are all counting on you to save their lives!"

"We are willing to pay more, even if we follow Liu Dingtang's rules, as long as our village can be safe!"

"The hall master is so powerful and has impressive achievements! Even the Shen family and the Xishan County Army are no match for you. As long as you are willing to take action, the nine swords of Jiudao Village and the thirteen heads of Baiyun Village will stand in front of you.

None of that."

Chu Xisheng still frowned slightly, looking embarrassed and helpless.

Until one of the old men suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "As long as Xishan Hall is willing to protect our safety, we, the 273 hunters in Jijia Village, and the 273 sets of bows and knives, will all take Xishan Hall as our leader and obey Chu in the future."

Hall Master’s order!”

Chu Xisheng's eyes flashed, thinking that finally there was a smart person.

The many hunters who were kneeling on the ground were silent at first when they heard this, and then they scrambled to get ahead.

"Master, the same is true for me in Qijia Village. I would like to follow Xishan Hall's lead!"
