Chapter 94: Being Targeted (First order 2200 plus additional updates)
But he said that after Lin Dutou was beaten violently by Li Gui that day, he felt that Li Gui had offended Gao Yanei, and he was afraid that he would be unlucky in a day or two, so he didn't care about what he told him.

Feeling that his face had been damaged, he asked for leave and stayed at home instead of going to answer the question. He also tried to hide from the black guy.

Who knows if the official is assassinated, no matter whether he is Xiu Mu or not, he will be arrested and patrolled on the streets.

On this day, he was showing off his power and barged into an inn, commanding his men to search here and there, waiting for the innkeeper to take it no longer and come over to show his respect.

But suddenly the light in front of him dimmed, and a big hand patted his shoulder, "Lin Dutou, what a coincidence, we meet here. Are you ready for what I want?"

When Lin Dutou heard this voice, his body trembled, almost like a conditioned reflex.

He turned around in fear, and sure enough he saw the big black man standing behind him with a smile, a hand pressing on his shoulder, like a mountain, making half of his body numb and unable to move.

"You you..."

He pointed at Li Gui and spoke incoherently, almost frightening his soul.

While he was panicking, he suddenly noticed a group of forbidden troops passing by out of the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed and suddenly realized that the situation now was different from the past.

The streets are full of patrolling soldiers, and just a whistle can immediately attract a large number of reinforcements.

Just as he asked for help, he saw the leader of the forbidden army raising his hand, waving his hand in this direction, and calling out "Master Li", and Li Gui also waved his hands in response with a smile.

Lin Du's head suddenly became numb.

what happened?
Shouldn't the Imperial Guard be on my side?
How do you greet this guy?
Is this guy really a well-connected queen?
After Li Gui joked with the leader of the forbidden army and watched him leave, he turned back and looked at Lin Du's head, and saw an embarrassed smile.

"Master Li, it's not that he doesn't care about his work. It's because something big happened the night before."

"The villain was thrown to the street for patrolling the next day. He really didn't have time to go back to the Yamen to do things!"

Lin Dutou explained carefully, for fear of angering Li Gui and getting beaten again.

Li Gui reached out and patted Lin Dutou's shoulder gently. Every time he patted him, Lin Dutou's heart skipped a beat.

"The meaning behind your words is that you are only afraid of your immediate boss, but not me?"

"It seems like you took what I said as a joke!"

Seeing Li Guipi's smiling face, Lin Dutou was shocked and hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"No no, absolutely not."

"I will go back to the Yamen now, and within an hour at most, no, half an hour, I will bring you the list of names requested by the officials."

Li Gui turned his anger into joy and said:
"In that case, I will give you a ride."

"Come on, come on, get on your horse, I will go with you."

After Li Gui said this, Lin Dutou couldn't help but pull him onto the horse, and the two of them rode out.

Lin Du turned his head hurriedly and looked around, wanting to ask for help, but all his men seemed not to see him at this moment. They just lowered their heads and rummaged through the cabinets and boxes in the house to look for the assassin, completely ignoring his look for help.

Due to the blockade and search inside the city gate, the originally bustling Tokyo Street was now much deserted. Even if the horses were galloping, there was no risk of collision.

Li Gui did not speed up his horse, but just moved forward normally, and soon he arrived at the Kaifeng Mansion Yamen.

Li Gui put Lin Du's head on the ground and tilted his head towards the Yameni. He didn't say anything, but just looked at him coldly.

"The high officials will wait here, and the low-level ones will come as soon as they leave." Lin Du bowed his head in a hurry and hurriedly ran into the Yamen.

Even when the yamen guard in front of the door greeted him, he didn't respond.

Li Gui and others were sitting high on their horses, waiting across the street in front of the Yamen, facing each other with the Yamen servants on this side of the street, which caused the group of people to whisper and wonder what kind of immortal Li Gui was.

Lin Dutou, who was shocked, did not dare to play any more tricks this time. He obediently ran to find the relevant clerical staff in the yamen, stuffed some silver coins, and opened the joints.

They were all members of the yamen, and they often colluded with each other to do small things that were not worthy of publicity. They knew each other well, and the clerk did not ask him, but only found out what he wanted.

Lin Dutou quickly listed out the criminals who were recently deported from Yizhou, which ones were imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion and which ones were imprisoned in Dali Temple Heavenly Prison, and then hurriedly ran out again and returned to Li Gui's place. .After Li Gui took the list, he glanced at it and found his second uncle's name.

Unfortunately, the second uncle is a repeat offender and has been sent to the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison.

Li Gui remained calm and put the list into his arms. When he came out with his hand again, he had already taken an ingot of gold ingots and threw it into Lin Dutou's arms.

"Watch your mouth. You should know what you should say and what you should not say."

Lin Du held this unexpected fortune in his hands and was overjoyed. He bowed and bowed repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, I know this and will never say a word more. Please rest assured, sir."

Li Gui turned his horse around and returned to Daxiangguo Temple.

Now that I know where my second uncle is, the next step is clear.

First, I have to find a way to visit and see how my second uncle is doing now, whether he is suffering, what prison he is in, and what the defense situation is outside...

Only when all the information is clear can we make the next decision.

After returning to Daxiangguo Temple, Li Gui went to sit with Zen Master Zhiqing, chatted for a while, and asked about the affairs of Captain Gao. Zen Master Zhiqing smiled and reassured:
“Donors should not be impatient.”

"Buddhism teaches us about the law of fate. When the law of fate arrives, everything will fall into place naturally."

Li Gui became anxious, frowned and shouted:
"Old Zen Master, you must have defrauded someone of his money, right?"

"Tell me frankly whether you have a connection with Captain Gao here. Don't lie to me!"

Zen Master Zhiqing was also helpless. When he encountered such an unreasonable "customer", he even thought of not doing business with him.

Alas, money is hard to make!

Zen Master Zhiqing sighed secretly in his heart and patiently explained:

"The official Fang Zi was assassinated, and now all the civil and military officials in the dynasty are busy catching the assassin."

"As the leader of the military officials, Captain Gao has a heavy responsibility. He must sit in the center and mobilize all parties. He cannot be separated lightly."

"It's just an extra ten days and a half, so what's the rush?"

Of course, Li Gui knew that what Zen Master Zhiqing said was reasonable, but the problem was that he was not really here to run for office, so how could he have the patience to wait.

"The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. Even the lieutenants need to rest and eat!"

"I just want to invite Mr. Taiwei to come over and get to know each other. It only takes half an hour. You can't even spare this little time!"

After hearing this, Zen Master Zhiqing immediately scolded him angrily:
"How high and powerful is the Grand Lieutenant? He is always the one urging others. How can there be any reason for others to urge him?"

"If you are too rude and offend the lieutenant, I'm afraid it will have the opposite effect and even make you angry."

“Although donors need to know, haste makes waste.”

"Why not let nature take its course and wait for the moment when fate comes."

Li Gui had no choice but to say goodbye and return to the small courtyard.

As soon as they entered the house, a subordinate came over nervously and whispered:

"Brother, we may be being targeted."

"We discovered that there are quite a few urban foxes and rats probing around our residence today. I'm afraid they have bad intentions."

 The first order result has not yet reached this figure, but it is estimated that the problem is not serious, so I will update it in advance.
