Chapter 92 Capital tycoon, twelve horoscopes plunder

Jin Jiuling said it politely on the surface, but his intention to compete was clearly evident. He looked at Yan Ming with stern eyes and a bit of provocation.

Although Yan Ming has not yet entered Six Doors, Jin Jiuling already vaguely regards him as a competitor.

But before Yan Ming could answer, Magistrate Lou already showed a displeased look on his face.

"Captain Jin, you are here to perform official duties. Do you think it is appropriate to make such a request?"

"If there is nothing else, please hand over the official business and leave quickly. We, Yan Baotou, are not ordinary warriors who compete in battles. We have no obligation to deal with unreasonable challenges from bad guys. If you want to be brave and ruthless, please find another company, Yan Baotou

I’m busy with official duties and there’s still a lot to do.”

With that said, Magistrate Lou pointed outside.

Jin Jiuling was also quite surprised. He did not expect Lou Zhixian to react so strongly and defend Yan Ming extremely.

Although Lou Zhixian was an official in a small place, he obviously did not give Jin Jiuling face.

Although he has no intention of taking a further step in his official career, it does not mean that he has no energy!

The relationship with several people in Beijing is still very strong.

Jin Jiuling didn't answer, obviously not wanting to make things look too embarrassing.

But just as he said this, footsteps came from outside.

Immediately, someone came in to report that someone outside had reported a crime.

"ah?"

It was an accident for several people.

The security in Qixia Town has been very good recently, especially after Shangguan Yundun was arrested, no one dares to cause trouble here.

Besides, the folk customs in Qixia Town itself are pretty good. Usually even quarrels between couples don't get serious, and very few people report the crime.

What's going on today?

Yan Ming had no time to pay attention to Jin Jiuling and walked out. Jin Jiuling thought for a moment and followed out curiously.

When I arrived at the gate of the county government office, I saw several warriors standing there.

Yan Ming's eyes immediately fell on the leader.

I saw that he was a burly and strong man, tall in stature, with a square face and thick beard. He seemed to have an extraordinary bearing, so he must have an unusual status.

The clothes and accessories all around are very expensive, obviously worth a lot of money.

He also spends a lot of money, but he is very different from the nobleman Jin Jiuling. At best, he has a sense of heroism, and at worst, he looks like a nouveau riche.

The few followers who followed him all looked fawning.

However, several people's clothes were wrinkled and there were some signs of fighting. They should have fought with someone not long ago.

The thick-bearded man looked at the six gate officers at the door, wondering in his heart. When he raised his head, he saw Jin Jiuling.

"Jin Jiuling, why are you here?"

"Li Yanbei? What are you doing here?"

The two spoke at the same time, obviously knowing each other.

Li Yanbei?

Yan Ming heard this and understood the identity of this person.

Li Yanbei, a famous tycoon in Beijing!

To sum it up in two words: rich!

Li Yanbei's own strength is not very high, he only has the third level of Qi and Blood Realm, and his superficial identity is that of a member of the world.

But to be able to own such a large industry and become a tycoon in a prosperous capital city where various forces are intertwined, he must have a considerable background.

Moreover, Li Yanbei is not only rich, but also very fond of gambling and likes to play heartbeat games.

In the original work, on the eve of the decisive battle between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng, Li Yanbei made a huge bet with Du Tongxuan, who was also a wealthy man in the capital.

I have to say it’s a big deal!

Li Yanbei defeated Ximen Chuixue and won. Although he guessed the result correctly, he was shocked by Ye Gucheng's strength in advance and did not have the courage to see the final result, so he still lost most of the property in advance.

Of course, at this point in time where Yan Ming is now, it is still a long time before the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City, so Li Yanbei should be extremely rich now.

In addition, like Zhu Ting, Li Yanbei is one of the few people who can be friends with Lu Xiaofeng.

Yan Ming went through the information in his mind.

But if Li Yanbei doesn't just stay in the capital and live a life of debauchery, why would he come to Qixia Town?

Yan Ming couldn't help but wonder.

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Yanbei had already spoken.

"I'm here to report a crime. I heard that Capt. Yan here is very powerful. He can definitely help me!"

Li Yanbei said and looked at Yan Ming.

"This must be the legendary Yan Captou, right? I took these brothers to transport a batch of goods and passed by the Xiliang River by water, but we were robbed by gangsters!"

"I am no match for them. I lost a large number of valuable red goods! It happened not long ago."

Li Yanbei didn't shy away from it and spoke openly.

"Red goods" is a term used in the world of martial arts, generally referring to valuables such as jewelry and jade.

It must be worth a lot of money to have Beijing tycoon Li Yanbei personally lead a team to transport it.

Yan Ming asked clearly about the specific location of the incident. It was not in Qixia Town, but on the Xiliang River waterway more than ten miles away.

Strictly speaking, it is not within the jurisdiction of Qixia Town.

However, I haven't heard of any mountain bandit or bandit activities near Qixia Town recently, and there are no water bandits on the Xiliang River.

Otherwise, they would have been wiped out before.

It can only be shown that these people who started looting were not bandits who were stationed here, but warriors from outside. They specifically targeted Li Yanbei and the others and only started to attack nearby.

If this is the case, it will be a bit difficult to deal with.

After the enemy plundered them, they immediately fled far away, which greatly increased the difficulty of finding them.

Besides, Qixia Town can't handle this kind of case. It would be appropriate to go to Guangyang Mansion to report the case to Wen Zhongjun, but it would be too late to handle it.

Just as I was thinking about it, the system interface flashed in my mind.

[Successfully receive Li Yanbei’s report and help him recover his lost goods, and you will receive generous rewards. 】

Yan Ming was quite surprised, could this be triggered?

"When did it happen?"

"About half an hour ago, we rushed to report the incident as soon as it happened."

"By the way, the robbers did not reveal their identities, but according to our observations, they are likely to be the infamous Twelve Stars!"

Twelve horoscopes?

This is in line with their style of doing things.

It is rumored that although the Twelve Stars are a group of robbers that make people laugh, they have a clear rule, that is, they only take red goods and not silver when they rob.

Yan Ming even remembered the time he healed Elder Bei's internal injuries.

I am a little more wary of these twelve zodiac signs.

As Li Yanbei spoke, he looked Yan Ming up and down.

Generally speaking, when encountering this kind of thing, he can only admit it is bad luck. There are too many similar things in the world, and warriors in the world rarely report it to the official.

However, his subordinates suggested that there was a very powerful head catcher in Qixia Town recently, who could even capture Shangguan Yun Dun. Out of curiosity, he came over to give it a try.

That is to say, the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

I didn't expect to meet Jin Jiuling here.

Li Yanbei looked at Jin Jiuling.

"Hey, aren't you the one who claims to be the number one catcher? Please help me. I will be very grateful to you when we find this batch of goods when we return to Beijing!"

Jin Jiuling patted his shoulder with a folding fan, rolled his eyes, and immediately came up with an idea.

"Yan Captou! How about we both take action on this matter?"

"But don't get me wrong, this is not cooperation. As I said before, we are all members of the public. If we argue with each other, it will hurt the harmony, so why not take this opportunity to have a civil war."

"How to fight?"

"It's just you and me taking action separately. Whoever can recover the stolen property first will win. As for this bet, by the way, I lost the bet last time and promised to help someone dig up a hundred dollars."
