Chapter 25 You are a good person!
"Then Lord Ye, do you know that the group of bullies who took away my old house are Li Changjiu's people?"

After saying that, a self-deprecating smile appeared on Pei Zhixiu's pretty face, and she continued, "This is all Li Changjiu's conspiracy. He not only wants our old house, but also wants to occupy me. He is planning to get both people and money. If I hadn't sworn to die and refused to obey, I would have been humiliated by him long ago..."

Pei Zhixiu paused for a moment, then looked at Ye Mingsheng and said dimly, "Even if Lord Ye doesn't kill him, I plan to kill him and then commit suicide. Even death is better than living with someone like him."

Pei Zhixiu's voice was very calm, as if she was not talking about herself, but about something that had nothing to do with her.

After listening to Pei Zhixiu's story, Ye Mingsheng looked a little solemn. He really didn't expect that there was such a story between Pei Zhixiu and Li Changjiu.

After a moment of silence, Ye Mingsheng looked at Pei Zhixiu and said, "What are your plans next?"

Pei Zhixiu did not avoid Ye Mingsheng's gaze. When their eyes met, she smiled and said softly, "I told you before, I want to follow General Ye. You are a good person...at least that's the case for me!"

Ye Mingsheng had a complicated look at Pei Zhixiu's answer. Although he had just traveled through time not long ago, he had already taken several lives. Moreover, it was foreseeable that more people would die because of him in the future. He had never thought that anyone would say that he was a good person.

Seeing Ye Mingsheng was a little hesitant, Pei Zhixiu continued softly, "Do you remember what I told you? Although the toxicity of Broken Heart Powder is not strong, it is extremely difficult to deal with."

"Even if you take the detoxifying medicine, some of the poison will remain in your body, so Lord Ye, you need a doctor to accompany you to prevent any harm before it happens!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Mingsheng was shocked and immediately looked at Pei Zhixiu. However, the lovely girl had a serious expression on her face at this time, and she didn't seem to be joking at all.

Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but feel a little confused. After hesitating for a while, Ye Mingsheng looked at Pei Zhixiu and said;

"Since you have made up your mind, Miss Pei, I have a place for you to stay. But I have to say this: I will be in great danger if I am not careful. I will be doomed. Miss Pei, please don't regret it later."

"In troubled times, there is no place without danger. Lord Ye, I am ready!"

Pei Zhixiu unbuttoned his clothes slightly, took out a dagger from his arms, and showed it to Ye Mingsheng:

After taking a look at the dagger and then at Pei Zhixiu, Ye Mingsheng didn't say anything, just nodded, then turned and left.

Half an incense stick later, Ye Mingsheng ordered the army to end its rest and continue to march quickly in the direction of Liu Jing. Time was tight, and as the commander-in-chief, he had to lead these 3,000 people to the designated location as soon as possible.

･････････
･････････
While Ye Mingsheng was leading his men towards Liujing, Shen Jianzhong was listening to his men's reports in the secret room of Jufeng Tower.

"Reporting to the captain, we have searched everywhere in Ruishan County, but we can't find any trace of the bandit leader Kuroki Shinnosuke. Several of his servants disappeared with him. After confirming his identity, we immediately controlled his wife and children."

"But... these people had already taken the poison pills of the Black Dragon Society before. We didn't have time to interrogate them before they all died suddenly. In addition, we only found some money in his home, but did not find the hidden list of the Black Dragon Society." Liu Xun, a captain of the Supervisory Department, who was dressed in plain clothes and had a hideous scar on his face, reported to Shen Jianzhong with a self-blaming look on his face;

Shen Jianzhong was obviously very dissatisfied with the result given by Liu Xun. He glanced coldly at the subordinate in front of him.

Feeling the hostility in his boss's eyes, Liu Xun, the scarred man, immediately felt nervous and quickly knelt on one knee on the ground, anxiously waiting for Shen Jianzhong's decision on him.

Although he wanted to chop this pig-like Liu Xun to pieces with a knife, he thought that he needed people right now and this person was the first one in the Liaoyang Supervisory Office to join him.

If he killed him now, it would probably discourage many people who were waiting and watching, and Wang Zhongsen would take advantage for nothing. Shen Jianzhong suppressed his anger and said:
"How's the situation over there?"

When Liu Xun heard Shen Jianzhong ask this, he immediately realized that Shen Jianzhong would not embarrass him, and said very respectfully: "

Reporting to the captain, according to our observations, Wang Zhongsen and Wang Kangxin, the uncle and nephew, have not discovered anything and have already started to move towards the granary on Luochuan Road!"

After hearing this, Shen Jianzhong's gloomy expression finally improved. After thinking for a while, he ordered, "Keep a close eye on Wang Zhongsen's situation. If there is any unusual movement, report it to me immediately!"

"Yes! Lord Wang, I will keep a close eye on him and make sure nothing goes wrong. But how do we deal with the Black Dragon Society? These Japanese have been making trouble recently, and we even found a batch of armor from some of their secret hideouts..." Liu Xun seemed to have remembered something and said with some concern:
"Humph!"

Seeing that Liu Xun didn't know the difference between the primary and the secondary, Shen Jianzhong snorted coldly and said with some regret:

"They are just a few spies of the Black Dragon Society. Once I take the position of the Pacification Commissioner and dig out their hidden list, they won't be able to cause any big waves. The most urgent task of the Supervisory Department now is to take over the palace and complete the task assigned by the Prime Minister!"

"I understand. I'll go down and do the work right away!"

Seeing that Shen Jianzhong was angry again, Liu Xun did not dare to offend him. He lowered his head and nodded repeatedly, and then wanted to slip away.

Just as Liu Xun was about to walk out of the secret room and avoid Shen Jianzhong's anger, Shen Jianzhong's cold voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Go and get ten lashes yourself. This is your first offense. If you do it again, you know what will happen to you!"

"Yes!"

When Liu Xun heard Shen Jianzhong's order, who had just felt a glimmer of hope in his heart, he cursed in his heart, but he could only accept the punishment.
