A certain person is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui.

Chapter 53 Knowing the truth
The news eventually leaked out.

This is normal. Where in the vast fields can we hide people?

There are always a few lucky ones among dozens of fish that slip through the net.

When the news reached the county government, Angel, who was still staying in Yishui County to press for follow-up matters regarding recruitment, immediately packed up and ran away without saying a word.

His errand to convey the message has been completed, and it has nothing to do with him in terms of how the recruitment will be completed later. He can stay and urge people to fulfill his due responsibilities, but he doesn't want to get covered in sewage.

Ding Zhixian's head was already big. He had just recruited Li Gui, but before the handover was completed, trouble started over there.

"Oh, Changping, I still have to work hard for you to go to Liu's house and have a nice negotiation with Mrs. Liu."

"Forget it about Li Gui and the others. As long as he spits out those birth dates and hand over a few scapegoats to take the blame, this matter will be over."

"Forget it about the local gentry. He is not qualified to touch the birthday card. It is in Grand Master Cai's pocket."

Master Song took the order and hurried to the prefecture city. On the next night, the tired Master Song hurried back. When he saw Magistrate Ding, he shouted with a bitter face:
"wrong!"

"It's all wrong!"

"Dong Weng, we all made a mistake. That Li Gui is not from the Liu family. He is really a rebel!"

"What?" Ding Zhixian was shocked and asked Duandi hurriedly.

Master Song went to Liu's house this time and hinted at the situation in a roundabout way. As a result, Old Mrs. Liu was confused and couldn't get along with him at all.

At first, Mr. Song thought that Old Mrs. Liu was pretending to be stupid. He became so angry that he revealed what he had said. As a result, Old Mrs. Liu sat down on the ground in fright and almost died.

After Old Madam Liu recovered, he grabbed Master Song's hand and swore that Li Gui had nothing to do with the Liu family.

At this moment, Old Madam Liu no longer dared to make detours in the mist-shrouded Yunshan Mountains, and told the truth.

The Liu family avoided disaster in the city because they were worried about being implicated in the death of the former magistrate. This was not just about reaping the benefits.

After hearing these words, Master Song thought back to the last conversation between the two, and immediately knew that both of them had misunderstood, which led to a big mistake.

After knowing the truth, Master Song did not dare to stay any longer, so he immediately left and returned to report to Magistrate Ding.

After hearing this, Magistrate Ding was also dumbfounded.

All his previous determinations were based on the tacit understanding between the two parties. Now that he knows that this is just false information, everything will be overturned.

Realizing that he had been sitting on the crater of the volcano for half a year and faced many life-and-death dangers, Ding Zhixian felt like he was covered in cold sweat and shivering.

"How can this be good?"

"If Li Gui is not a puppet of the Liu family, how should I get back this birthday card?"

Master Song walked around in circles a few times and said hesitantly: "Or, find someone to come over and explain it to you with reason and emotion?"

Magistrate Ding smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "How can Li Gui be willing to listen to advice if he does such evil things?"

Master Song tugged at the goatee under his chin and speculated: "Maybe when he was plundering, he didn't know that these people were escorting the birthday guide, or he didn't know what the birthday guide was. I'll wait for someone to remind them, maybe Maybe he is afraid."

"Huh?" Ding Zhixian thought about it carefully, and it seemed to make sense, "Then who can be reused?"

"How about Li Yun, the head of the county government?"

"Okay, then call Li Yun over!"

Master Song went out and called Li Yun into the house. Magistrate Ding painted a pie for him and then handed over the task to him.Li Yun didn't know that Ding Zhixian was painting cakes, but he could only pretend to be stupid under the eaves. He had no choice but to accept the order and go straight to Yushan.

When he arrived at Deyu Mountain, Zhu Fu saw him and came up to him happily, shouting: "Master, could it be that the master should take over the matter of taking over the village?"

Li Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing: "You are doing such a big thing, and you see that disaster is imminent, but you don't know it. Why are you still thinking about recruiting people?"

He was so frightened that Zhu Fu's face changed color, and he hurriedly invited Li Yun to the mountain. In the Juyi Hall, the four leaders gathered and asked: "Master, where did the disaster you mentioned come from?"

"What you don't know is that the convoy you intercepted before was a birthday package sent by the governor of Huainan East Road to Kyoto to celebrate Grand Master Cai's birthday."

Just this sentence scared Zhu and Fu to the point of flying out of their wits, shouting:

"Ah! What should we do?"

"I just said that those many cars, gold and silver treasures are definitely not easy to get along with, but I don't want to end up like this!"

The general manager of Huainan East Road couldn't scare them. Even though he had a high position and authority, he couldn't control them. He just robbed them. What could he do?

But they can’t afford to offend Master Cai!
Who in the world doesn't know that Taishi Cai is His Majesty's most trusted minister today and one of the founders of Hua Shi Gang.

Everyone hates it to the core, but everyone is afraid of the three points.

If Master Cai really wants to hold them accountable, he is afraid that he will lose his newly obtained official position immediately.

Li Yun saw that they were afraid, so he explained his purpose.

"What the county magistrate means is that as long as the birthday card is returned, Grand Master Cai must only care about the gold and jewelry and not the dead guards. If the village throws a few scapegoats out, everything will be reduced to a big deal. , let alone involve several generals."

Huang Silang hurriedly turned to face Li Gui who was watching the show above, and shouted: "Brother, this is a great plan. Before things get too serious, let's return the birthday card!"

Others also offered words of advice, but Zhu Fu remained silent.

Li Gui chuckled, stretched out his hand to pick up the big ax on the ground, and gently scraped the steel beard under his chin with the shiny ax blade, and said leisurely:
"Sure enough, the butt determines the head!"

"You have just been recruited, and you have not even served as an official for a day, and you have already contracted the bad habits of being an official."

"The birthday card is just some gold and silver, just an external possession. It doesn't matter whether you take it or not."

"Have you ever thought about which brothers you want to hand over as scapegoats?"

As soon as Li Gui said these words, the faces of all the generals immediately changed.

As a copycat brother, Jianghu's loyalty comes first, and no one dares to speak out and throw the brother out as a scapegoat.

Even Li Yun, the head of the imperial court, was also a man of righteousness and wealth. He always valued loyalty and was surrounded by many roosters, dogs, and thieves.Zhu Fu, a bandit, came and went in his house every day, and he never said that he would take it and hand it over to the court for reward.

They were only focused on keeping their newly acquired official titles, but they forgot that there was also the matter of scapegoats. In other words, in their subconscious, they actually didn't care about the lives of their pawns at all.

We are both bandits, and we have never experienced life and death on the battlefield together, so how can we have any friendship at all?

It's just that this kind of thing can only be done, not said.

In particular, all of their old brothers have been with Li Gui for a long time, and they know the leader of the stronghold who has descended from the Heavenly Killing Star quite well. Seeing him smile like this, and hearing his words, you can tell that he is full of murderous intent.

If they talk randomly at this time and don't agree with him, there's no telling what the next moment the stainless steel ax will fall on their heads.
