Chapter 588: They Eat the Imperial Grain

"As the old saying goes, 'When beating a dog, you must look at its owner.' Cui Ji, the beast, is dead, but his master is not dead..."

Gu Lianggong opened his mouth subconsciously, but before he could finish his words, he reacted and glanced at Zhuo Tie, sighed slightly, and said:
“That’s right. You and Taoist Master Ku Mu have no relationship. Your life or death is not your concern.

You only care about the fact that Taoist Master Kurumu killed the beast Cui Ji, so how could you possibly care about the fact that the eldest son of the Zhu family stood up for the beast Cui Ji.

Even if Taoist Ku Mu or even Le Zhuang died at the hands of the eldest son of the Zhu family, you wouldn't care!"

He really didn't like Zhuo Tie's attitude. He and Taoist Xuanqing were of the same age. Taoist Xuanqing had lived in Liangshui Town for many years, but because of his parents, he had never had much dealings with Taoist Xuanqing.

He had no feelings for Taoist Master Xuanqing, but at this moment, he was still very worried about Taoist Master Xuanqing's safety.

after all.

Taoist Priest Xuanqing helped them eliminate a great scourge in Liangshui Town!
Kill that beast Cui Ji.

If possible, he would be willing to make a longevity tablet for Taoist Xuanqing and worship it at home. How could he not worry about the safety of Taoist Xuanqing?

He was very dissatisfied with Zhuo Tie's attitude, but he also understood that people like Zhuo Tie mostly mind their own business, and the fact that he was able to suddenly appear in Cui Ji and rush to the Le family to inform them of the news as soon as possible was already better than most people. He was embarrassed to blame Zhuo Tie too much.

Not to mention that no matter how worried Zhuo Tie was about the safety of Taoist Xuanqing, he was just an ordinary civilian. Even if he wanted to help Taoist Xuanqing, he couldn't help at all. It was already very good that he didn't cause trouble for Taoist Xuanqing.

Zhuo Tie smiled awkwardly, and wanted to make some excuses, but when the words came to his lips, he just couldn't say them. Who made Gu Lianggong say it? He couldn't find a reason to defend himself, and there was no need for him to lie in front of Gu Lianggong. He said seriously:
"Uncle Gu, it's useless for you to tell me about this. Why don't you go talk to Taoist Master Ku Mu and ask him to take Le Zhuang away from Liangshui Town as soon as possible - no, it's better to leave Xiang County.

If you don’t have the money for the trip, we can get some together. We can’t help you with a big task, but I believe we can still help you with some money for the trip!”

"You're right. We need to talk to Taoist Master Ku Mu about this!"

Gu Lianggong stood up and prepared to walk towards Taoist Xuanqing. He didn't know whether Taoist Xuanqing had thought about the eldest son of the Zhu family's revenge before and after killing Cui Ji and the bodyguards of the eldest son of the Zhu family. Regardless of whether he had thought about it or not, he had to remind him that he should help if he could.

Maybe he can even give Taoist Xuanqing some advice!
As soon as he walked out of the hall and was about to walk towards Taoist Xuanqing, he saw Taoist Xuanqing suddenly call out to stop the several constables who were secretly preparing to leave the place. They were startled and said in a trembling voice:

"This Taoist Master Ku Mu, is he planning to kill the three detectives who tipped off the police?"

"Uncle Gu, don't you think about it? Taoist Master Ku Mu dared to kill even the bodyguard of the eldest son of the Zhu family. What's the big deal about killing a few small constables?"

Zhuo Tie followed Gu Lianggong, preparing to show his familiar face in front of Taoist Xuanqing. When he heard what Gu Lianggong said, he said nonchalantly:
"If you ask me, they deserve to be killed. They actually dared to tip off and call Cui Ji here. If they don't die, who will die?"

"What do you know?"

Gu Lianggong glared at Zhuo Tie, and seeing that he looked dissatisfied and obviously didn't understand what he meant, he explained:
"These few small detectives are nothing, but they are all in the government, they eat the emperor's food, and they represent the Great Xia court.

If Taoist Master Ku Mu really dares to kill them, he will easily be issued a wanted order by the imperial court. If he does this, he will be making an enemy of the imperial court!"

of course.

After all, these three constables in front of them are just small Liangshui Town constables. It is true that they are paid by the emperor, but they are not powerful figures and cannot be registered in the court of Daxia.

Killing them would not necessarily cause Taoist Xuanqing to be wanted, but if the Zhu family intervened, it would be easy to use this incident to make Taoist Xuanqing an enemy of the Great Xia court and face the Great Xia court's wanted order. If someone in the court was interested in Taoist Xuanqing, even if Taoist Xuanqing took Lezhuang to the ends of the earth, he would only end up dead.

but.

The chance of this happening is small, and at most it is within the influence of the Zhu family. He will be wanted throughout the county and the whole prefecture, but it is difficult to escalate to the whole state or even the whole country. After all, human and material resources are limited, and they cannot be wasted casually.

but.

There is an old saying: Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the worst!

just.

There is no need to tell Zhuo Tie about this, it's useless even if you tell him!
Zhuo Tie hurriedly said, "Uncle Gu, since this is the case, why don't you go and persuade Taoist Master Ku Mu!"

"Master Ku Mu..."

Hearing Zhuo Tie's words, Gu Lianggong reacted immediately and stepped forward. As soon as he said this, he heard Taoist Xuanqing order the three constables who were kneeling in front of him and begging for mercy:
"You are the one who caused these bastards to come here. You should clean up their bodies. Is that ok?"

"No problem, no problem, Taoist Priest, no problem at all!"

Chi Yongchun and his two cousins ​​were originally worried that Taoist Xuanqing had gone mad with anger and stopped them because he wanted to punish them for running to the county town to call over Cui Ji and his group. They were extremely terrified and worried that Taoist Xuanqing would kill them.

It's not that they didn't think about running away, but the sight of a pile of bloody corpses on the ground made their legs go weak. Taoist Xuanqing's voice was like the call from the King of Hell, making them unable to muster any strength. They could only kneel down in front of Taoist Xuanqing without any dignity as constables.

Kowtow and beg for mercy!

Never thought.

Taoist Priest Xuanqing stopped them because he was worried that they would run to the county town to call Cui Ji and his group. However, he did not kill them. Instead, he asked them to clean up the bodies in the yard.

Taoist Xuanqing scolded: "Since there is no problem, why don't you get started?"

"Do it now, do it now!"

Chi Yongchun's two cousins ​​didn't dare to say anything. They quickly got up from the ground and started to clean up the bodies in the yard. Even though there were neighbors watching the fun, they didn't call them to come and help.

Taoist Xuanqing watched Chi Yongchun and his two cousins ​​quickly clean up the bodies in the yard, nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to look at Gu Lianggong and Zhuo Tie who were walking over, and said:
"Gu Lianggong, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Nothing, nothing!"

Gu Lianggong laughed awkwardly. He suddenly called Taoist Xuanqing to remind him that he could not kill Chi Yongchun's cousin, at least not in public. After all, the three of them were constables. When they saw that Taoist Xuanqing called them and just wanted them to clean up the bodies in the yard, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject:

"Master Ku Mu, after Le Wenmao's funeral, are you going to take Xiao Zhuang away from Liangshui Town?"
