"What did you say? Ah Hu confessed?" In a dark room in the commoner's residential area in the northern district of Qing 'an Prefecture, a burly figure slammed the table, his face full of disbelief.
"I bribed a bailiff from the county government. He said that Ah Hu confessed a few days ago and was taken away by the Ministry of Justice yesterday," another person sitting next to him said in a low voice.
"With the crimes he has committed, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out once he enters the Ministry of Justice." The burly figure stood up, and an oppressive aura suddenly exploded. The expressions of the people in the room changed slightly.
"With Ah Hu's character, how could he …" one of them said with a look of pity, shaking his head.
If he was in the county government, they could think of a way to save him. But if he was in the Ministry of Justice, he would be in a land of death with no hope of ever seeing the light of day again.
This sudden incident had completely disrupted their plans, causing all the preparations that they had made these days to fall short of success.
"Hmph! If it weren't for that woman, how could Ah Hu have been caught? " A gloomy voice sounded in the room. "If it were only those useless people in the yamen, I could kill them all with one hand."
"Although it wasn't that woman who did it herself, Ah Hu was ruined by her. We have to avenge him." Another voice sounded in the room.
After a short moment, the gloomy voice said angrily, "Are we unable to do anything to that woman with just us brothers? Why don't we take advantage of the darkness of the night to kill our way to her door and slaughter her entire family? It can be considered as taking revenge for Ah Hu."
"I agree!"
"I have no objections either!"
The rest of the people in the room agreed with this suggestion.
The people of the Greenwood Forest had always acted according to their whims. To them, human lives were like grass. Every one of them carried at least one life on their shoulders.
"All of you, shut up!"
Seeing that the room had become noisy, the burly figure suddenly shouted angrily. Only then did everyone quiet down.
"Although that woman is hateful, her martial arts are really good. Last time, my brothers and I joined forces to ambush her, but we only slightly injured her. In the end, Ah Hu was still captured by her and handed over to the yamen. Even if we go to her now, we probably won't get anything out of it. Besides, who knows if she has any helpers? We can't act rashly. "
"Big Brother is right." A man stood up and said, "You haven't fought with that woman, so you don't know how terrifying she is. If you act rashly, I'm afraid you'll follow in Ahu's footsteps."
When he said this, his face was filled with a strong sense of fear.
He had fought with the woman before. Several of his brothers had besieged her, but in the end, she had defeated one of them. The rest of them could only retreat temporarily. The woman was young, but her martial arts were extremely high. If they continued to fight with her, Ah Hu would not be the only one who had been defeated last time.
"Are we just going to let this go?" One of them said indignantly.
At this moment, the burly figure spoke again, "We must avenge Ah Hu, but this matter must be considered at length. That woman has been working for the yamen for the past two years and has offended many heroes of the underworld. Who knows how many people want her dead? If we can form an alliance with them, this matter will be greatly feasible."
"This is a brilliant plan."
"Big Brother is right."
"I need to find those who have a grudge against that woman first …"
"There's no hurry for this. There's a more urgent matter at hand. A few days ago, we were discovered by a female constable on the street. That person's martial arts is very powerful, and it wasn't easy for us to escape from her. I think our traces have been targeted by the yamen. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it's better to leave the city and lie low … "
As the burly man spoke, the voices in the dark room gradually quieted down.
…
"What, this is the gift you were talking about?"
Li Xuan held a small porcelain bottle in his hand, and his voice was raised an octave higher than usual.
Seeing that Li Yi nodded, a trace of black lines appeared on his face. "Isn't this just Ruyi Dew? The Prince's Mansion has as much as you want, and even the servants in the mansion have a bottle each. You want me to give this to Mother?"
Li Xuan somewhat regretted handing this matter to Li Yi, and he didn't pay attention to it anymore. He didn't expect that he would be so unreliable this time.
That painting was not bad, but this Ruyi Dew … Could he be a little more careful?
If he had known that this would be the result, it would have been better for him to search during this period of time to see if there were any rare treasures. It was better than stupidly holding a bottle of Ruyi Dew when the time came.
Li Yi also didn't bother to explain to him. Because he didn't have time to customize a new porcelain bottle, he used the packaging of Ruyi Dew. However, it contained the first batch of perfume that he had successfully tested.
There weren't many flowers that bloomed in autumn, and there were even fewer that could be used to make perfume. After he finally found all the materials and made the perfume according to the book, he found that the fragrance would dissipate very quickly and wouldn't last long.
Later, he looked up a lot of information and finally found something called "Fragrance Retention Agent" in a corner. After adding musk ingredients, it wasn't until two days ago that the real perfume was finally developed.
He rarely cared so much about unimportant things, and this guy actually didn't appreciate it …
"You don't want it? Okay, I'll give it to Arrester Li." Li Yi took the porcelain bottle from his hand and threw it in the direction of the door.
"What is this? Ruyi Dew? "
MIngzhu reached out and took it. As soon as she unscrewed the lid, a faint fragrance escaped.
She was surprised. The liquid in this bottle didn't have the refreshing smell of Ruyi Dew. Instead, it had a faint fragrance. It wasn't as pungent as the fragrance of the perfume bag, but it seemed to be more suitable for women.
"It's not Ruyi Dew?"
Li Xuan's nose didn't have any problems. Naturally, he smelled the fragrance. He couldn't help but regret that he was too anxious just now. He should have opened it first to confirm …
"Hehe, MIngzhu, this …" He said and turned to look at Li Yi. He asked, "What is this called?"
"Perfume." Li Yi said lazily.
"Yes, perfume … I intend to give this perfume to my mother. It's her birthday in two days. You see …"
"This perfume was given to me by County Arrester Li. If you want it, you can ask him again." MIngzhu glanced at him and put away the small porcelain bottle. She turned around and left without giving him a second chance to speak.
"Hehe, I was wrong just now …" Li Xuan turned back and looked at Li Yi with a smile. He said, "That bottle of perfume was taken away by MIngzhu … Give me a few more bottles."
"What perfume?"
Li Yi looked up at him and asked with a puzzled face.
