Leaving Wu Xiangdao's room, Zeng Kuan kept on running all the way into Zhu Ergou's room, forcefully lifting him up from the bed and slapped him across the face, "How did you do it? Who asked you to set a fire? "

Zhu Er Gou was startled, he was stunned, his mind was in a mess, he could not help but ask in a trembling voice: "Sect Leader, what happened?"

Zeng Kuang grabbed him by the ear and dragged him to the window. He pointed at the night sky which was illuminated by the flames and said, "Look at what you have done! "You brat, you're really done for this time!"

Zhu Ergou was shocked, and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't that Li Chunfu's home?"

"Do you know now?" Zeng Zhibang coldly stared at Zhu Ergou, "I asked you to report everything, why did you make the decision? How many times have I said that begging for money is enough, and hurting others is not allowed?

When Zhu Ergou heard that, he could not help but stomp his feet, and scolded in pain, "Sigh! These two stupid pigs! "

"Zhu Ergou, the pavilion master has already spoken. Whoever dares to cause trouble shall pay with their lives. This time, I think it will be difficult for you to escape this calamity!" Zeng wide road.

"Sect Leader, save me!" Zhu Ergou kneeled to the ground with a thump, kowtowing non-stop, "This matter is entirely because of Brother Liu, it has nothing to do with this lowly one!"

"It's useless. The pavilion master has already given his command. I'm afraid that even I will be punished as well, needless to say, you!" When Zeng Di said this, he couldn't help but sigh, "This time, no one will be able to protect you!"

When Zhu Ergou heard this, he felt his entire body go soft, as if someone had extracted all his muscles and bones. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly begged: "Sect Leader, if I kill the Liu brothers, can the hall master spare my life?"

"It's useless!" Zeng Di gave a bitter smile, "If you make such a big commotion, the government won't let it go easily. Also, those self-proclaimed righteous martial artists are all gathering at Yangzhou for the beauty contest. Do you know what they will do next?"

"Sovereign, but I can't just sit and wait for death!" Zhu Ergou cried.

"Do I want to?" Zeng Zhibang coldly glared at Zhu Ergou, "You stupid pig, you forced the Ru Yi Hall to the heart of the struggle, can't you see the crisis before us?"

"Sovereign, I have a way to turn the tide. I won't let the Ru Yi Hall become the target of public criticism. Give me a chance, I'll definitely block this matter completely. I beg you!" Zhu Ergou begged sincerely.

"Too late!" Zeng Di Kuan helplessly turned his face to the side, and slowly raised his right hand, about to smack Zhu Er Gou to death, when he suddenly screamed hoarsely, "Clan Master, please spare me! This lowly one has been following behind you for the past few years, even if you do not think of the merits, you should at least consider the hardships, I beg you to be magnanimous! "

After hearing this, Zeng Di could not help but feel a pang in his heart, because over the years, many of his good brothers had died from mistakes, and he already hated himself to the bone. He really did not want to see any more tragedies happen, but this Earth Gate's duty was the closest to tragedy, so what could he do?

Zeng Di could not bear it any longer, so he slowly turned his face over, wanting to take one last look at Zhu Ergou, and coldly said, "Don't blame me!"

As he said this, he was already determined to carry out Wu Xiangdao's orders. Right at this moment, he heard someone report from outside the door: "Is Sect Leader Ceng here?"

"Who?" Zeng Da asked coldly.

"Subordinate Tian Lun!" The person outside replied softly.

"Come in and answer!" Zeng Di glared at Zhu Ergou, indicating for him to stand up. Then he walked over to the table and waited patiently for Tian Lun's appearance.

After a while, Tian Lun walked in and glanced at Zhu Ergou. Then, he cupped his fist and said, "Replying to Sovereign, I have important news to report!"

"Go ahead!" Zeng wide road.

Tian Lun did not rush to speak of the news. Instead, he looked at Zhu Ergou. His meaning was clear, he disliked him standing in his way. However, he had heard him say: "He's on the same side, so there's no harm in doing so!"

"Yes sir!" "Yes." Tian Lun replied and went back to close the door. He then whispered, "Replying to Sect Leader, it's not good for this subordinate to bring two pieces of news …"

"Feel free to speak!" Zeng wide road.

"First of all, our men cheated all of Li Chunfu's silver and burned his house. Fortunately, there was no one left alive." When Tian Lun said this, he slightly frowned and subconsciously glanced at Zhu Ergou. He then continued, "The second item, Jia Yunlin is already in Yangzhou!"

"What?" Jia Yunlin has arrived? " Zeng Di was slightly surprised. "Didn't he say that he wouldn't come?"

"Your subordinate was also surprised. I believe Jia Yun Lin did not come with good intentions!" Tian Lun said.

"Humph!" This old thing, we didn't invite him to come and instead invited him, he didn't come! " Zeng Di Kuan frowned, "Did you find out his purpose for coming here?"

"I don't know yet!" Tian Lun said.

"Trash!" Zeng gave him a furious glare, "This man was our old rival, we must pay attention to his every move. I want to know what he eats and drinks for every meal, who he meets every day, and what he says. In short, I want to know all the details regarding him!"

"This subordinate understands. This subordinate will definitely accomplish it!" Tian Lun said.

"Anything else?" Zeng Di asked.

"The new Prefect, Zheng Qing, is very ambitious. He had a clear reputation when he took up his post in his hometown. The Li Residence had been on fire for less than an hour when the yamen runners arrived!" Tian Lun said in an indifferent tone.

"He can't stay idle. We must pay more attention to him!" Zeng Di instructed.

"That's what Sect Leader Chu meant as well. He requested me to inform Sect Head Ceng that it would be best to resolve the Li Residence case to the point where not a drop of water would be revealed. He absolutely cannot give the yamen's people any evidence!" Tian Lun said in an indifferent tone.

"Sect Leader Chu does not need to worry about this matter. Go back and tell him, let him find out the reason why Jia Quan Lin is here! I'm only afraid that this old fellow will not give up his evil schemes and still want to compete with our Fulfillment Hall! " Zeng wide road.

"Yes, sir!" Tian Lun silently remembered this in his heart. He then asked, "Sect Leader Ceng, is there anything else you need to tell me?"

"Not at the moment. Go back first!" Zeng Di instructed.

"This subordinate will take his leave!" He left the room.

Zhu Ergou watched as Tian Lun walked out. His eyes immediately lit up as he said, "Doyen, the Li Residence case is finally open!"

"Oh?" Zeng Huang subconsciously looked at Zhu Ergou, "What devilish idea do you have now?"

"Since the Li Residence's case has already been announced, the heroes of the realm will surely be shaken. When that happens, everyone will pay attention to the case. This subordinate will make a bold guess; the day when we will dominate the martial arts world will come!" Zhu Ergou's eyes lit up.

"What do you want to do?" Zeng Da asked with interest.

"Since the Lee family didn't leave anyone alive, there are many ways to make a move on this case. As long as we act in a roundabout way and arouse the suspicion of the righteous cultivators, they will clash with each other. The longer the fight goes on, the more we fear that we, the better our reputation will be." Zhu Ergou smiled evilly.

"You say it is simple, but what about doing it? I'm just afraid that if you make a mistake, in the end, you'll force the Ru Yi Hall into a corner! " Zeng Di said angrily.

"I won't!" Zhu Ergou confidently patted his chest, "As long as Sovereign trusts me, I will have the guts to do it!"

"What if it doesn't work?" Zeng Di Kuan asked with a stern expression.

"Your subordinate is willing to shoulder the responsibility. Even if your head and body are separated, I will never let fire lead to the Fulfillment Hall!" Zhu Ergou replied seriously.

Zeng Da stared at Zhu Ergou for a long time, his eyebrows locked tightly, and finally sighed, "Since you are prepared to sacrifice yourself, I will gamble. However, I need to find a helper for you to be at ease!"

"Is the Sect Leader not trusting me?" Zhu Ergou asked.

"Something like that!" Zeng let out a helpless sigh. "Who told you to overdraw my trust in you?"

When Zhu Ergou heard this, he could not help but smile bitterly. He then asked, "Then who does Sect Leader plan to send to help me?"

"Fang Zhenyuan!" Zeng Di gave an indifferent smile, "I think he'll be here very soon. After all, he can't stay idle!"

"Chief Escort Fang?" Zhu Ergou was slightly taken aback, "Why is it him?"

Zeng Di Kuan lightly patted Zhu Er Gou's shoulder, and laughed: "Rest assured! His brain is no worse than yours! "

"Yes, sir!" Zhu Ergou replied.

The next day was bright.

This was supposed to be the opening hours of Yangzhou City's merchants and merchants, but it was deserted right now. Everyone was thinking about one thing, was the amount of money they could get?

After all, Li Chun was rich and had lost his life. What about them?

Who would be next?

Many people who did not know the truth gathered together to discuss the extermination of the clan and the arson case last night. Many people who did not know the truth gathered together to discuss the extermination of the clan and the arson case last night.

As a result, some people brought up Li Chunfu's harsh character, others said he did not care what methods he used, and there were even some that he made too many enemies. All in all, all sorts of speculations were raised until Zhu Ergou appeared.

His appearance was not to point these people in the right direction, but to provide them with a job. That was, to dig up a corpse at the Li Residence and exchange it for twenty taels of silver!

This was supposed to be done by the yamen, but it was handled by the Ru Yi Hall, which made many feel that it was inappropriate. Zhu Ergou had said that the Ru Yi Hall was a big sect in the martial arts world, and they were known for their chivalrous reputations. They could not stand idly by and watch a tragedy happen, as they had the duty to bury the dead as soon as possible!

In the end, under the temptation of silver, some people went home to report to the Li Residence for a hoe!

The Li Residence had long since been reduced to ruins. Under the dim light of the sun, it seemed even more gloomy and gloomy. Many people walked back and forth tirelessly pouring water on the flames, while some people dug through the rubble for treasures, hoping to salvage some comfort in the chaos!

Although many of the roads were blocked by the yamen's men, there were still ways for the common people to make a detour, jump over walls, or crawl holes. All sorts of methods were being used, since the Li Residence had oil and water to fish for!

Zhu Ergou led a group of commoners around a few times and finally arrived at the Li Residence. He didn't even need to give any instructions, those people had already joined the intense work of exhuming the corpses. To them, corpses were like silver, and it was a moral thing to do.

Zhu Ergou chuckled, his hands on his waist as he stared coldly at the greedy commoners. He could not help but laugh in his heart, "You can dig, the faster the better. In any case, you guys are doing it for nothing! "Hahahaha!"

"I dug one up!" A villager was the first to dig out a corpse. He was so happy that his mouth was wide open, causing the surrounding villagers to scramble to find something. As expected, not long after, another villager shouted, "I have one here too!"

When Zhu Ergou heard this, he could not help but laugh coldly, "Hurry up and dig, the more money you dig, the more you will have!"

When the crowd heard this, their enthusiasm rose immediately. They only wished that their parents had given them less than two hands and that they could exhume seven burnt corpses in such a short time, but when they wanted to exchange their money, how could they find Zhu Ergou?

At this time, they saw Chief Li dare to lead a group of officials and rush over. He raised his finger from afar and said, "Stop! Who told you to dig here? "

The citizens who participated in the excavation were all shocked. They were all stunned on the spot, not daring to move, only to see Li Jun rushing over angrily while scolding: "Who allowed you to excavate here? Don't you know this is a crime scene? Do you know what punishment you dare to act recklessly in this place? "

"Chief Li, they told us to do this. They even said that digging a corpse would earn us twenty silver taels. We only dug it out for the sake of money!" One of the civilians explained.

"Bastard!" Where are the people of the Ru Yi Hall now? " Li Jun dared not be angry.

When the people heard this question, they went to find Zhu Ergou, but where else could they find him?

"From what I see, you guys clearly have evil intentions. Who knows, the Li Residence case might have been committed by you!" "Come on, bring them all back to the yamen and have them be sent to the lord!" Li Jun dared not be angry.

When the officials heard the order, they immediately drew their sabers and moved forward to take the person. This frightened the commoners to immediately kneel down and shout out their grievances, but they heard Li Jun angrily say, "What are you wronged for!? In my opinion, all of you clearly wanted to destroy the evidence. Now that you're seen by me, you actually dare to accuse the Prefect of being wrongly accused. Take them all away! "

As if chasing a duck, they chased the group of commoners towards the yamen. Along the way, they were met by a group of people who were doing good things, and thinking about the case of the Li Residence, many of them secretly guessed that the culprit had been caught. As soon as these words were spread, those who were used to flattering Li Dazhi raised their thumbs and shouted, "All of Li is brave and witty.

Li Jun knew that the other party had misunderstood her, but who wouldn't want to hear something nice from her? Therefore, even though he did not try to defend himself, his face was full of smiles. This made those people who liked to make wild guesses feel proud. Finally, this matter had been spread beyond recognition, to the point that the truth was drowned out and was hard to find!
