Chapter 286: The black man, Li Kui

Ximen Qing and his group were walking towards Lijiazhuang, preparing to go back to the village to have a drink. Unexpectedly, they met the old butler of Lijiazhuang on the way. The old butler ran over quickly, so tired that they were out of breath.

"Young Master...Young Master, something happened...is wrong, something happened!" When he saw Li Jun, the old housekeeper seemed to have seen a savior and hurriedly waved his hand.

"What's wrong? What happened at home?" Li Jun was stunned and asked hurriedly.

The old butler gasped for a long time before he calmed down. He hurriedly said, "The military captain of Jiangzhou Prefecture came to his house and said that we were secretly hiding the imperial prisoner. We were going to arrest the master now. You can go back and have a look!"

"What?" Li Jun was shocked, then looked at Ximen Qing, and then said, "Emperor Yi, it seems that your identity has been leaked!"

"Who leaked it? Are you looking for death?" Li Li roared immediately.

Tong Wei and Tong Meng also looked at each other and said, "How did you leak the secret? Yesterday, Emperor Yi put on makeup. Who can recognize that makeup? Could it be that there is an insider inside Lijiazhuang!"

Li Jun was angry and cursed directly: "There must be an insider at home! Damn, if I catch him this time, I will strip him alive!"

Ximen Qing frowned, then smiled bitterly, and said, "Brother Li Jun, don't be excited. It shouldn't be the secret reported by his family. I know how the secret was leaked! I went out to practice this morning and met a little hooligan teasing a good woman. At that time, I helped to save the woman. I thought, the person who informed me should be those little hooligans. After all, when I woke up in the morning, I did not put on makeup, but showed my true face!"

Li Jun nodded, his angry expression improved a lot. But Mu Hong and Mu Chun were angry. They claimed to be bullies in Jieyang Town, so they were naturally the gangsters in Jieyang Town. Now other little hooligans dared to tell their respect for others on their backs, which was simply a slap in the face.

Mu Hong and Mu Chun looked at each other, and the flames were ignited in both eyes.

Li Jun comforted the old housekeeper for a moment, and then said to Ximen Qing: "Emperor Yi, it seems that you can't go back to my house! In this way, how about I ask Zhang Heng to take you across the river and go directly to Jiangzhou Prefecture? As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest. If those officials want to break their heads, they can't believe that you will take the initiative to enter Jiangzhou Prefecture! By the way, Brother Zhang Shun is doing well in Jiangzhou Prefecture. If you go to his place, I will feel at ease!"

Ximen Qing nodded and said, "I can go anywhere, but what I am worried about is, how can you explain to the soldiers when I leave? If they can't catch me, it will be difficult for you and Mrs. Li. Then I would rather be captured by them!"

Li Jun was moved and said, "I, Li Jun, will die if I am, but I, don't worry, that those who are in the army dare not make things difficult for my Li family. I, Li Jun, have been in private salt business for so many years, and there are countless officials in Jiangzhou Prefecture who have bribed them. I have accounts here. If they dare to touch me, I will publish the account book and let them all go to prison, so you can rest assured."

At this time, the old housekeeper on the side interrupted and said, "By the way, Young Master Ximen's big white horse was kidnapped! It was said that he was dedicated to the Jiangzhou prefect Cai Jiu!"

"Damn..." Li Jun was immediately annoyed and scolded in anger.

Ximen Qing patted Li Jun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay, don't worry, my horse and the others can't take it away. Li Jun, you might as well go home and take a look. Brother Zhang Heng, please send me across the river!"

Zhang Heng nodded and said, "Okay! I happened to accompany Emperor Yi to the city and take you to my brother's place. I am also familiar with the city guards of Jiangzhou Prefecture, so I can protect Emperor Yi's safety!"

"Then it's time for Brother Zhang!" Ximen Qing said with thanks.

Then Ximen Qing, Gongsun Sheng and Zhang Heng went to the riverside, while Li Jun, Li Li, Tong Wei and Tong returned to Lijiazhuang. As for Mu Hong and Mu Chun, they went to teach those little hooligans a lesson.

Ximen Qing, Gongsun Sheng and Zhang Heng arrived by the river, boarded Zhang Heng's boat, and headed towards Jiangzhou Prefecture. The three of them quickly got on the shore without any danger along the way. Then Ximen Qing put on makeup simply, and then accompanied by Zhang Heng, walked towards Jiangzhou Prefecture.

At this time, soldiers were already investigating in front of Jiangzhou Prefecture Gate, and there were portraits of Ximen Qing, Song Jiang, Wu Song and other criminals on the notice board in front of the gate.

With Zhang Heng's help, the three of them easily entered the city. Then the three of them did not stop and went to the north of the city, which was the gathering place for fishmongers in Jiangzhou Prefecture. Zhang Heng's younger brother Zhang was there to be a fishmonger leader.

Walking on the street and looking at the bustling street, Ximen Qing smiled and said, "Cai Jiu is in charge of Jiangzhou Prefecture, it is very prosperous. It seems that Cai Jiu is not as greedy as his father!"

"Swish..." Zhang Heng sneered: "He is not greedy? Emperor Yi, you don't know many things! If Cai Jiu is not greedy, then there will be no greedy people in this world! Look at the prosperous streets and many hawkers are actually forced to sell them. Jiangzhou has fertile land and abundant water. Farming and fishing at home can definitely be self-sufficient and have a wealth of life. However, Cai Jiu's harsh taxes have too many, which has forced these people to farm and fish at night, and sell some things during the day. Otherwise, who would have thought that they would be as tired as a dog and work hard day and night!"

Ximen Qing nodded, then looked at the hawkers and found that they were indeed tired and sad.

At this time, Zhang Heng pointed to a place not far away and said, "There is the real lively place in Jiangzhou Prefecture!"

"Oh?" Ximen Qing looked at it and saw that the people who came in and out of the house were all people, and they were all men. Those who came in were full of hesitation and ambition, while those who came out were full of regret and were full of pain. At the same time, there was a banner hanging on the door, which read "Cai's Gambling House"!

There were few entertainment facilities in ancient times, and as men loved the most, they were brothels and gambling houses. Therefore, it was not surprising that Ximen Qing saw that the gambling house was booming. What Ximen Qing was surprising was the name of the gambling house. "Cai Family"? Combined with Zhang Heng's tone, Ximen Qing had to speculate whether the Cai Family was related to Cai Jiu.

"Brother Zhang, does this Cai family's gambling shop have anything to do with Cai Jiu?" Ximen Qing frowned and asked.

"Bang!" Zhang Heng snapped his fingers, nodded, and said, "That's right!" Then, Zhang Heng said angrily: "There are eighteen gambling houses in Jiangzhou Prefecture, 18 of Cai Jiu's houses, seventeen of them are Cai Jiu's houses, and ten of them are Cai Jiu's houses. It is said that Cai Jiu's daily income is thousands, or even tens of thousands of gold!"

"Damn!" Ximen Qing was stunned for a moment, and then cursed: "This Cai Jiu is really greedy. He actually controlled the gambling house and brothel, and controlled the two most profitable industries."

Zhang Heng said: "He relies on his father Cai Jiu's power to act as a blessing in Jiangzhou Prefecture. Brother, Cai Shuai, you are a good killer! Cai Jiu has no son, only Cai Shuai's nephew! Cai Shuai's father died early, Cai Jiu treats Cai Shuai as his own son. Now Cai Shuai is dead, haha, Cai Jiu doesn't know how sad it is!"

"I feel so too!" Ximen Qing said with a smile.

At this moment, a loud "bang" sound shocked everyone on the street. Then he saw a nearly two-meter-long ape with black muscles jumping off the second floor of Cai's casino. What a guy, this guy is like an iron tower, with a slight beard on his face, looking extremely ferocious, and can stop the baby from crying!

He held the silver in his arms, laughed, and rushed towards Ximen Qing. Behind him was the gambling house just chasing him.

"Li Kui, don't run away. Do you know whose money you robbed? Why don't you let it go quickly? If the prefect knows that he is not allowed, even Dean Dai will not save you!" The person behind him shouted.

The black man Li Kui laughed and opened his mouth bloodily, saying, "You birds, dare to cheat my money together. If I don't rob me, who will you rob me? Even if the magistrate comes, I'm right!"

As he said that, Li Kui's speed was faster.

But at this moment, among the people chasing behind him, someone suddenly threw a rope and directly caught Li Kui running in front. Then, the people pulled hard and tied Li Kui directly.

When Li Kui saw that he was tied up, he was furious and his arms suddenly exerted force. The hemp rope as thick as his thumb was suddenly broken.

"Haha, little girl, do you want to catch me?" Li Kui laughed, then ran away and wanted to run away.

But at this moment, more than a dozen people rushed out in front of them, all holding long whistle sticks, directly blocking Li Kui's way out.

Seeing that his own people came, the person chasing behind him also stopped. The person who had just spoken hummed again: "Li Kui, our people are here, you should just surrender, otherwise you will hurt you later. Hum, that's your luck! Don't say that I didn't give Dean Dai face!"

"You are so miscellaneous, there are so many birds singing, I snatch it all. I snatch it so much nonsense, so I suck it!" Li Kui cursed with his arms, and at the same time he did not forget to roll the snatched silver into his arms.

Seeing that Li Kui was not in, the man was upset, so he waved his hand and said, "Give me a try, subdue this black thing, and throw it into Xunyang River to feed the fish!"

After saying that, more than twenty people all held up their whistle sticks and beat them.

These people are all thugs raised by gambling shops. They all have some martial arts skills and are even more fierce than ordinary soldiers. Therefore, these people are holding whistle sticks and hitting them, even Ximen Qing dares to fight hard.

However, Li Kui's actions made Ximen Qing, who was watching on the side, stunned.

Li Kui held two iron fists and spread his arms and beat him. He didn't dare to be as fierce as the opponent's whistle stick. He was like a rhino, rushing around and being quite brave.

His iron fist hit the whistle stick, and directly interrupted the whistle stick, and then knocked away the person who was holding the whistle stick. The whistle stick behind Li Kui did not cause any harm to him, but only crackling sounds, as if he was playing drums.

"Haha, you birdmen are so powerful. Grandpa is uncomfortable, uncomfortable, try harder!" Li Kui laughed and then continued to fight with his iron fist.

Li Kui only had some simple martial arts and had never learned any internal skills. However, he was born with divine power, which was stronger than Ximen Qing and Wu Song. He also learned hard kung fu. His skin was like a copper skin, which felt like a copper skin and iron bones. This was the effect of practicing hard kung fu to a high level. Therefore, ordinary whistle sticks could not hurt Li Kui at all.
