On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 1635 Blood Debt

Huo Changhe stopped and Yan Ruyu also looked towards the hill.

Not long after, a secret door appeared on the hill and someone walked out.

A lantern in one hand and a sword in the other.

Li Su returned.

Zhou Qi opened his eyes: "Brother Li!"

When Li Sugui saw the condition of the two men, both of them were injured, bleeding profusely, and tied up, he was also shocked.

He was quite surprised when he heard the bell ringing inside just now. No outsider had entered for such a long time.

He thought he had just walked in by mistake and it might not be a big trouble. After all, he knew Zhou Qi and Zhou Ba's skills.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry and only came out after finishing the things at hand.

Who knew it would be so serious.

His face suddenly darkened and he looked at Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu.

Seeing that the two men were wearing masks, one in black and the other in white, he couldn't help but snort coldly.

"You two, why are you playing tricks on me? You broke in here and hurt my brother. What do you want to do?"

Yan Ruyu lowered her voice and said, "Breaking in? What? Is this already your private territory? Who said that? Did you buy it?"

Li Sugui frowned: "I didn't come here to argue with you, let my brother go as soon as possible, otherwise..."

Before she finished her words, Yan Ruyu held a willow-leaf dart and stabbed it into Zhou Qi's other shoulder.

Yan Ruyu said with a smile: "How about otherwise? Keep talking."

Li Sugui: "..."

Li Sugui let out a long breath: "Okay, it seems that you two don't want to give me this face."

"How much is your face worth?" Yan Ruyu asked back.

Huo Changhe said slowly, "How can a person who is dead, whose name has been cancelled and who dares not show his real name to others have any face?"

Li Sugui was stunned, and Zhou Qi and Zhou Ba's expressions also changed.

They finally realized that the two people in front of them were not ordinary people and they had definitely not come by mistake.

Li Sugui bowed and said, "You two, please tell me your names. If I have offended you, I will apologize. However, I did everything by myself, so you can blame me. Please spare me and let my two brothers go."

Zhou Qi and Zhou Ba shouted in unison: "Brother Li!"

Li Sugui waved his hand, signaling them not to speak.

Zhou Qi ignored the pain and said: "Brother Li, we are not as skilled as others, but we are not afraid of death. Please don't do this for us..."

Zhou Ba shouted: "You can kill me or chop me up as you like. It's none of Brother Li's business!"

Each of these two people has a louder voice than the other.

Yan Ruyu was a little surprised that these three people were quite loyal.

However, among those who commit murder and arson, there are also those who are loyal. Being loyal does not mean that one can do evil things.

Li Sugui shouted, "Shut up, both of you!"

"I brought you out, so I should be responsible for you. If you still recognize me, don't say anything."

Zhou Qi and Zhou Ba gritted their teeth, their eyes turned red, and they dared not say another word.

Li Sugui said to Huo Changhe: "You two, please state your conditions. What do you want in exchange for releasing them? As long as I can do it, I will not hesitate."

"Money or things, it's all fine."

Yan Ruyu chuckled with a hint of contempt: "Do you think we look like people who are short of money?"

"We don't want money, but we have as much stuff as you do."

"Li Huanshan," Huo Changhe said in a deep voice, "Back then, you were a vanguard under the city protector of Shanghai. You faked your own death and fled before the two armies, and then quietly returned to kill the city protector. You committed numerous crimes."

"Li Huanshan, Li Guisu, Li Sugui, your name and identity change frequently."

"Unfortunately, changing your name cannot erase your crimes and blood debt."

Li Sugui's face suddenly changed, and he stared at Huo Changhe with fire in his eyes.

"Are you from the government?"

Zhou Qi whispered, "That's not right, Brother Li. Just now, I heard them talking and they are clearly from the underworld..."

Li Sugui hung the lantern aside, slowly pulled out the knife, and stroked the blade with his fingers.

"It doesn't matter. Since you already know my past, you can't stay."

Li Sugui chuckled softly and looked up again. Yan Ruyu actually saw a bit of sadness in his eyes.

"I am full of crimes and blood debts?" Li Sugui laughed louder, "Sure enough, this is how the world sees me."

"The government and the court all think I am someone who deserves to die."

"So, what about the Shanghai City Protector? He shouldn't have died?"

This was the first time Yan Ruyu heard Huo Changhe mention the city of Shanghai, but she had seen it on the map many times before.

Youcheng and Shencheng are about the same size, but Hucheng is very small, less than half the size of Shencheng, so it is often overlooked. When mentioning border cities, people usually talk about the two major cities.

Therefore, officials in Shanghai were often forgotten by the court, and often stayed in office for more than ten years or even dozens of years.

For example, the original governor of Shanghai died of old age while in office, and the court never sent a replacement. It was only when Huo Changhe was in office that he exercised the responsibilities of the commander-in-chief and let Governor Cao assist in the appointment.

In terms of geographical location, Shanghai is closer to Youcheng.

In fact, there was not much affairs to attend to. Governor Cao went there twice and handled some affairs. Their own officials were also relatively fixed and there was not much for them to do on a daily basis.

Later, Governor Cao rarely went there, and gradually, the city defense envoys of Shanghai took full control.

Until later, a bloody incident occurred.

I heard that the Shanghai City Defense Commander was going to conduct some kind of drill, so he led his troops out and sent several vanguard teams into the mountains. As a result, somehow they encountered bandits and the two sides engaged in a battle. The soldiers had not had actual combat for a long time and were not familiar with the terrain in the mountains. The number of the bandits was several times theirs, and they were almost all killed.

The team he led, including Li Huaishan, was completely wiped out.

Originally, this was an accident. The city defense army suffered a loss, so they would have attacked the mountain stronghold to ask for an explanation. However, I heard that the city defense envoy did not do so. Instead, he said he would go back first and make plans later.

It didn't matter that he didn't go looking for the bandits, but the bandits came looking for him.

The bandits had killed his people last time and still had captured tokens, clothes and other things in their hands. Under the cover of darkness, they ordered the city gates to be opened and killed their way into the city guard's mansion.

There were more than a few dozen people, including the city guards, and no one survived.

At that time, Governor Cao heard the news and left. It was winter then, and when he arrived, all the blood in the mansion had frozen into ice.

At that time, Governor Cao was just an ordinary official who just wanted to get by. When he saw the situation, he was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground.

Not to mention him, Huo Changhe was in the Dutong Mansion at the time. When he heard the news, he was also shocked and asked Xiao Chiye to go there in person to investigate the case.

The bandits' whereabouts were erratic, and the personal guards who had followed the city guard were all killed. No one knew where the bandits were hiding in the mountains.

By the time Xiao Chiye found it, the village was already deserted.

It took a long time of investigation and verification by several parties before they found out that it was Li Huanshan who did it.

Li Huanshan pretended to be dead, or he surrendered because of injury. Afterwards, he joined forces with the bandits and massacred the city guard's mansion.

In the end, that’s how the case was closed.

The current case file has one copy in the Dutong Mansion, one in the hands of Hucheng and one in the hands of Governor Cao.

It was this matter that Huo Changhe had sent a letter by carrier pigeon, asking Governor Cao to investigate.
