After the surprise interrogation of the prisoners, Zhu Chuanwu rushed to Li Jie to report.
"Brother, after asking everything clearly, they are Du Laosan's subordinates in Qingfeng Village."
Du Laosan?
This guy is so brave. He didn't even bother him first. Fortunately, he sent someone to attack him first?
It seems like this guy can’t stay!
When the patrol battalion first arrived at the boundary of Wushan Town, they needed someone to establish their authority. Du Laosan really wanted to break in because there was a way to heaven but no way to hell.
Li Jie waved his hand and ordered: "Clean up the battlefield and then move forward."
"yes!"
If Zhu Chuanwu's original temper was to be followed, he would have to instigate Li Jiejie to annihilate Wushan Town. But now and then, he is no longer the reckless young man he was before.
After several months of military training, discipline has long been engraved in his bones.
Soldiers should take obedience as their bounden duty. Although the patrol battalion is only a miscellaneous army in name, Zhu Chuanwu believed that even the regular army of the imperial court could not compare with them in terms of combat effectiveness.
The team continued to set off. About half an hour later, the building sign of Wushan Town was in sight. Before they formally entered, Li Jie saw the crowd gathering below the building sign from a distance.
This group of people were well-dressed and had rosy complexions, which formed a sharp contrast with the sallow and skinny people around them. At first glance, they didn't belong to the same group.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and Li Jie could vaguely see the outline of the leader. What surprised him was that the person standing in the front was neither Master Long Qi nor Master Long, but someone he had not seen.
People who have passed.
Although he has never met him, it does not mean that Li Jie does not know this person. His name is "Zhou Jianbai". His family runs all the gold shops, pawn shops and gambling houses in the town, and he is also a very powerful local snake.
Moreover, the Zhou and Long families were family friends and had a very good relationship with each other.
At this time, the people under the building also discovered traces of battle on the patrol battalion, and at the end of the team, there was a group of 'prisoners' strung up with ropes.
A chubby middle-aged man with a big belly pointed forward.
"Huh? Brother Zhou, look over there. Did Zhu Guan and them also encounter an attack on the way?"
Zhou Jianbai is not blind. There are so many 'captives', how could he not see them.
"I'm afraid so, but I don't know if the ones who attacked Zhu Guandai and the others are the same force as those who attacked Brother Long."
The pot-bellied man said with a serious expression: "I'm afraid so. Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence. Brother Long was attacked in the front leg, and the people in Yuanbao Town in the back leg were also attacked."
Having said this, the middle-aged man paused slightly, and then said in an uncertain tone.
"Brother Zhou, do you think Qingfeng Village did it?"
Zhou Jianbai hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Nine times out of ten, okay, let's not mention this matter for now. Let's go over and greet him first."
"good."
Immediately, Zhou Jianbai led a group of people and waited, striding forward to greet them.
"law!"
After the two sides met, Li Jie tightened the reins and dismounted cleanly.
"I, Zhou Jianbai, have seen Zhu Guandai!"
Zhou Jianbai cupped his hands with a smile on his lips and took the lead in greeting. Then in order to avoid misunderstanding, he quickly explained the reason why Master Long Qi was not present.
"Originally, the person standing here should be Master Long Qi, but just now, Master Long Qi was shot at the door of Songhe Tower. He is now in the hospital for emergency treatment. Therefore, Master Long Qi cannot greet Guan Zhu in person today.
Bring the arrival."
"I also hope Haihan!"
Li Jie frowned slightly, Master Long Qi was also attacked?
Is Du Laosan a mad dog?
Not to mention attacking yourself, but also attacking Master Long Qi?
"How is Master Long Qi's injury? Where is he now?"
Li Jie had a pretty good impression of the Long family, and the Long family were not unscrupulous landlord bullies. The reputation of the Long family and his son was pretty good among the local people.
Therefore, Li Jie doesn't mind saving the other party's life if necessary.
Zhou Jianbai looked at Li Jie quietly after hearing this. When this person heard that Master Long Qi was attacked, his first reaction was to care about Master Qi's injury. Therefore, his first impression of Li Jie was not bad.
"Master Qi is currently receiving treatment at the medical center in the town."
As he spoke, Zhou Jianbai's expression darkened and he sighed.
"It's just that the situation is a little bit not optimistic."
After hearing the news, Li Jie felt that maybe he should help Long Qiye, so he cupped his hand towards Zhou Jianbai and said.
"If it's convenient, can you take me to visit?"
Zhou Jianbai nodded with a heavy face: "Okay, come with me."
Afterwards, Zhou Jianbai took Li Jie towards Huichun Hall. On the way, Zhou Jianbai asked curiously.
"Zhu Guandai, did you also encounter attacks on the road?"
Regarding this point, Li Jie had no intention of hiding it and said frankly.
"Yes, it was Qingfeng Village who attacked us."
Zhou Jianbai paused when he heard this, turned around and said in surprise: "Qingfeng Village?"
"Um!"
"hateful!"
If it was still speculation before, then Zhou Jianbai is now certain that these two attacks must have been carried out by Qingfeng Village!
It’s really lawless!
How dare you do this in broad daylight!
Today, Qingfeng Village can snipe Master Long Qi, and tomorrow, Qingfeng Village can also snipe other people. In this way, how can they live a peaceful life?
Zhou Jianbai thought angrily that this cancer in Qingfeng Village must be completely eliminated!
When he thought of this, Zhou Jianbai turned around and bowed to Li Jie to the end.
"Please also ask Zhu Guandai to pull out this cancer for me in Wushan Town!"
As soon as the others saw Zhou Jianbai's actions, they immediately followed suit and bowed to the end, shouting in unison.
"Please also ask Zhu Guandai to pull out this cancer for me in Wushan Town!"
"Please also ask Zhu Guandai to pull out this cancer for me in Wushan Town!"
…
All the people present were prominent figures in Wushan Town. They all bowed to the same person in the street, which immediately attracted the attention of passers-by. Everyone looked at the scene and whispered to each other in low voices.
"What's going on?"
"Isn't that Boss Zhou from the gold shop? Why are you saluting a young man?"
"Not only that, look at the back, there are also Boss Liu from Qilu Restaurant, Boss Cai from Cai's Silk Shop..."
"Hiss! Who is this man? Do all these big bosses respect him so much?"
"Heh, it looks like he's a soldier, probably an officer from above, right?"
…
…
Although the onlookers didn't speak loudly, the street was such a big place, so those who leaned over could still faintly hear the comments of passers-by.
There were so many fellow villagers on the street. Seeing them salute a junior, their faces were a little uneasy.
After all, 'Zhu Guandai' is just a young boy, and the youngest among them can be each other's father despite his age.
However, Zhou Jianbai never made any move. Even if some people felt "losing face", they were too embarrassed to take the lead in getting up.
