Xu He was so excited that he grabbed the catcher's shoulder with one hand. It must have been too shocking and he couldn't control his strength. He immediately made the clerk grimace in pain and hurriedly begged for mercy.
The catcher's forehead was stained with sweat and he hurriedly said: "Xu Tou—Xu Tou! You should take it easy, the young one can't stand it."
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure," Xu He quickly let go of his hand, and then playfully patted the other person's shoulder: "But your body is not good, I will give you a good practice when I have time in the future."
The catcher had a bitter look on his face, but he just followed Xu He's words.
With this episode, Xu He finally recovered from his initial shock. He turned around, cupped his hands to Lu Hanjiang and the others, and said, "Everyone, I am on official business, so I will take my leave."
"Brother Xu, walk slowly." Tianquan returned the salute with his fists clasped.
Xu He acted vigorously and resolutely. After saying goodbye to the three people, he immediately hurried to the city together with the policeman.
Tian Quan watched the other party's retreating figure, but heard Shangguan Beicang beside him say in surprise: "It's really unexpected. I didn't expect that there would be someone in the Eastern Capital who would dare to commit such a major crime."
Although Shangguan Beicang was new to the world, as the young head of the Shangguan family, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, he never lacked such things as vision.
Although he can't talk about all the martial arts techniques like Tianquan, but there is one thing about him that is far inferior to him, and that is the vision and height that comes with being born into a wealthy family.
Even though the three major families in Dongdu and the Huo family are at odds with each other, and the two sides have even reached the point of fighting each other, but if you look closely, this still belongs to the category of Jianghu affairs.
The Jianghu and the imperial court are like two hedgehogs, both cautious about each other. Once they get too close, one of them is bound to be unlucky.
The conflict between the three major families and the Huo family is about the right to speak in Dongdu. To be precise, it is the right to speak in Dongdu's Jianghu. The winning side has the qualifications to bring this Jianghu into its sphere of influence.
But there is a premise for this kind of thing, that is, you can't go too far. After all, Dongdu is not an unclaimed land. It is a big city under the rule of the imperial court. Its geographical location and historical value are very important. It is impossible to let people in the world do whatever they want.
The previous battles between the three major families and the Huo family, although bloody, were innocuous because the two left each other with a certain amount of dignity.
It was not until the three major families launched a sneak attack without respecting martial ethics and hundreds of people blocked the street that the court's bottom line was touched.
But at this point, there is actually room for change, because the fierce fight between the two sides did not harm the common people, but the dead and injured were all knights and knights who helped each other.
For this group of Jianghu people, death means death, and the local government will never care.
But the next thing is different. The three major families have been entrenched in the Eastern Capital for a long time. The three families are not political forces in the traditional sense. In the Eastern Capital, in the eyes of the superiors, they behave more like local snake-like landlords and squires.
like image.
In other words, even if the Huo family wins the final victory, their lives will not be in danger. At most, the power in Dongdu will be eradicated, and they will either find another place to make a comeback, or they will settle for the next best thing and retire as rich men.
The Yamen's attitude towards the three families is different from that towards the Huo family. If it weren't for the people behind Boss Zhu who have great eyes and hands, Lord Fu Yin of Dongdu might not have watched the Huo family act recklessly.
And the news that the police officer just said, that three families were attacked by martial arts masters and suffered heavy casualties, is a slap in the face of the imperial court.
Although the three families have only half-stepped into the realm of Jianghu, they still essentially belong to the merchant family of Dongdu. Compared with the gangster forces who are always willing to pay a dime, they will pay enough taxes to the Yamen according to the rules every year.
But now, some people dare to risk the disapproval of the imperial court and brazenly carry out vendettas in the borders of Dongdu. This is simply intolerable.
Shangguan Beicang was born into the richest family in the south of the Yangtze River. Although he couldn't understand all the small actions that were hidden from the court in private, he could still understand some of them.
Hearing the little fat man's sigh, Lu Hanjiang smiled and said: "Indeed, if you dare to act so wantonly under the eyes of the imperial court, I'm afraid the person who comes here is evil, or it may be the work of the devil. This group of people are unscrupulous and have never been afraid of offending the emperor."
Law."
Whether the speaker did not mean it is not mentioned for the time being, but when the words came out, the listener did mean it.
"Brother Yue, tell me, could it be..." Tian Quan had a bad feeling. He always felt that what happened in Dongdu might be related to Qian Xiaoxiao.
"Dear brother, do you mean -" Lu Hanjiang pretended to be surprised, and immediately put on a troubled expression: "If this is really the case, I'm afraid this matter cannot be solved. The Eastern Capital is not a wilderness. I heard that this place
A bathroom equipped with a royal guard."
"Jin Yiwei..." Tian Quan was a little nervous. He had not dealt with this terrifying force of the imperial court many times, but the opponent's name was already well known to his ears.
He thought that even if Qian Xiaoxiao had an unexpected encounter and his martial arts skyrocketed, he might not be a match for these Jin Yiwei...
"Brother Yue, without further ado, let's go back to the city to see what's going on!" Tian Quan said impatiently.
"Okay." Lu Hanjiang nodded, and then looked at Shangguan Beicang. Not only was the latter not afraid, but he was somewhat interested.
"Let's leave now!" Shangguan Beicang said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, with Uncle Wen here, even if something goes wrong, we can still run out."
Although they came together as a threesome, Wen Chenyang was always secretly there. The other party came here to ensure the safety of Shangguan Beicang, so naturally they had to have a beginning and an end.
So, the three of them no longer hesitated and immediately set off for the city.
At this moment, the Huo family in the city was also surprised by the changes in the three families. Huo Yunqi never expected that while a disaster caught the Huo family off guard, there would be another catastrophic disaster that directly sent away the three major families.
.
But what he didn't expect even more was that the person who was most pleased with the difficulties faced by the three families now was not the children of the Huo family, but Boss Zhu.
When "Yueli Feng" escaped, Boss Zhu watched from behind and the blood all over his body became cold. The instigator made them escape together, and the three families who had suffered huge losses would definitely not let it go.
However, the fake Yue Lifeng left, but the real Yue Lifeng never showed up at all. Now there are only two ways he can go, or he can drag the three families and continue to walk all the way to the dark side, but thinking about Wen Chenyang's big
Showing his power, he felt that this was a dead end.
The other option is to pretend not to know about the deal between the three families, and continue to help Huo Yunqi to win the Eastern Capital with peace of mind. However, the three families will definitely not let him go. If the matter comes out in a hurry, he will do the same.
Life and death are unpredictable.
But at such a critical moment, the three families were unexpectedly attacked by masters, resulting in heavy casualties. According to the information from the Huo family, it seems that among the three families, the head of the family died violently, and not even a single one of his children and servants were left. There were almost no people left in such a large family.
