Chapter 157 Back to the Imperial Capital
As he said that, Wei Daolin said to his confidant beside him, "Send the things to Mr. Xu and let him see them."
The two confidants responded softly, each took a large box from behind and handed it to Xu Luo.
Wei Daolin said: "In it contains the land deeds of various industries of the Wei family and the silver notes of the money house... In another box are some statements about what the Wei family has done over the years, and on it is my handwritten signature and seal seal..."
Xu Luo suddenly said at this time: "By the way, there is another thing: Most of the evil deeds of your Wei family are done by male children in the family, but there is one thing: Who did the little beggar girl who was made into wax figures?"
As soon as Xu Luo said this, a girl in the crowd immediately turned pale and shivered all over. She had a deep fear in her eyes and cried, "Don't kill me...Don't kill me!"
Li Hong walked up to Xu Luo and ordered: "Pull that girl out, don't kill her, go build a ancestral hall, enshrine the little beggar girl there, and let her guard the ancestral hall."
Hearing Li Hong's words, the little sister of Wei's family softened and fell to the ground. She was scared to faint.
Wei Daolin sighed and murmured: "You're a sin!"
...
The old city lord was drunk, Li Hong was drunk, and Xu Luo was half drunk and half awake, leaning there, humming unknown songs in his mouth.
"Boss, do you think our affairs are just?" Li Hong asked with a smile when he looked at Xu Luo with a drunken eye.
"Nonsense! Of course we are... just! The Wei family does many unjustly, and it is only a matter of time to be destroyed! Moreover, we took the Wei family's property and did not embezzle it. Instead, we compensated part of it to those who had been persecuted by the Wei family, and the other part to improve the public facilities in Hongcheng. The biggest head... we handed over the national treasury... we did not... fill our own pockets, and we... of course we are just!" The old city lord murmured.
Xu Luo smiled and said, "Justice and evil have never been as obvious as white and black. People who control power often don't care about the so-called justice or evil. If you take this issue seriously, you will be very tired in your life."
Li Hong nodded and smiled bitterly: "Maybe, you're right."
The old city lord there had already begun to fall asleep. Li Hong sighed: "Justice without selfishness can be considered righteousness."
Xu Luo smiled and said, "Who can have no selfishness when you are alive? For example, if you do something wrong, as long as it is not harming the truth, I will naturally protect you. Even if it is really harming the truth, I will not attack you, so..."
"So, you, it's hard to be a righteous person, hahahaha." Li Hong smiled and took over the words, then shook his head and sighed: "We are not saints, the old city lord is not. He has known all kinds of evil deeds of the Wei family over the years, and he is even one of the victims, but when facing the powerful Wei family, he does not have the courage to fight to the death, and can only wait for the opportunity; neither am I, I am a member of Hongcheng, and I have known about the domineering and all kinds of evil deeds of the Wei family, but until I took the position of deputy city lord, I never thought about it. I really want to destroy the Wei family. This... I'm just to protect myself."
As he said that, Li Hong glanced at Xu Luo: "Boss, you... Speaking of which, you are the most courageous. If it weren't for you, the Wei family would have harmed Hongcheng for many years, no one would know."
Xu Luo shook his head and said, "Before I saw the evil things that the Wei family did, I just wanted to do something for my sister-in-law. After seeing the evil things, what I thought of in my heart is first of all, the relationship between the Xu family and the Wei family. If the two tribes were allies, I would not have killed so much... I would only deal with those who did too much evil."
"No matter what, boss, you have done a great good thing for the people of Hongcheng!" Li Hong drank all the wine in his glass and pointed to the outside and said, "Did you hear it? It's been a long time since the incident happened. Hongcheng's firecracker shop has made a lot of money now..."
A guard who happened to bring in wine and laughed at him, "The Deputy City Lord said this to be wronged by those people. The owners of those firecracker shops are called as profiteers on weekdays, but this time they are really bleeding. All firecrackers are distributed for free! No penny is withdrawn!"
Listening to the scenes that were constantly crackling outside, which were even more lively than the New Year, Xu Luo thought speechlessly: How hateful this Wei family... should be in Hongcheng!
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Xu Luo was about to say goodbye to Li Hong.
This time, I accidentally passed by Hongcheng and caused such a huge trouble. Xu Luo was preparing to go back to meet the emperor's thunderous anger. Of course, for the people of Hongcheng, it was equivalent to doing something great for Hongcheng.
I don’t know who spread this matter, saying that the reason why the Wei family fell and was destroyed was all because the second young master of the general of the country passed by here and heard that the Wei family had done evil deeds and destroyed the Wei family with righteous actions!
Now, the whole Hongcheng people were sensational. They were blocked at the gate of the city lord's mansion early in the morning, and they wanted to see this legendary young hero, Master Qingtian!
At this time, as long as Xu Luo appears, his image in the minds of the people of Hongcheng will definitely be like a god. The problem is that Xu Luo is going back to be scolded and punished this time. How can the emperor punish him when he returns with the public opinion of a million people in Hongcheng?
Therefore, with the help of Li Hong and the old city lord, Xu Luo quietly left from the tunnel of the city lord's mansion.
The people from the City Lord’s Mansion there also went to the Xia Mansion to inform him. Xu Luo and the others also received notice last night when they happened to the Xia family.
For many people, Xu Luo is like a god, saving them from water and fire, but for some people, Xu Luo is like their plague god, passing by in Hongcheng, destroying a powerful family, and thus affecting the future development of another powerful family...
Ten miles outside Hongcheng, Xia Muyao and an old man were waiting there quietly, a low-key carriage parked in the distance.
They did not disturb anyone and came alone to see Xu Luo off.
When she saw Xu Luo, a smile appeared on Xia Muyao's face. She walked over and said in a gentle voice: "Xu Luo, thank you!"
Xu Luo smiled and waved his hand: "You are my sister-in-law, so I naturally cannot allow others to bully you. Don't worry, if the people from that small sect dare to come to Hongcheng to cause trouble for you in the future, let them come to me directly. If you dare to touch your finger, I will not let them go!"
Xia Dade walked towards Xu Luo and said with a smile: "Xu Ji really gave birth to a good son!"
"I have met Grandpa Xia!" Xu Luo came over to greet him.
Xia Dade smiled and said, "This time we all thank you for our Xia family, but we are a family. I won't say much more. If you use the Xia family for a day in the future, just talk!"
Xu Luo smiled and nodded: "It must!"
At this time, Xia Muyao picked up a wooden box from beside her. The wooden box was very long and heavy. Xia Muyao held it with some difficulty and handed it to Xu Luo, saying, "This is a knife for your brother."
As she said that, Xia Muyao blushed slightly. She had only met Xu Su twice, and met twice, and each time left a deep impression on her.
When I first met Xu Su, I was on the street of the imperial capital. At that time, Xu Su was fighting with a group of people. She was like a tiger, and she seemed to have endless strength to beat the group of people to cry and call her mother.
Then Xu Su stepped on one of the people and asked, "Do you dare to insult my brother in the future?"
"My future husband... is a reckless man?" This is Xia Muyao's first impression of Xu Su. He felt that he was very brave, but he was somewhat... brave but not resourceful, because he was so capable!
The second time I met Xu Su was that Xia Muyao had just taken over some family business and was going to the north to discuss a big business with someone in person. When he passed through the military camp where Xu Su was, Xia Muyao secretly asked someone to inquire about Xu Su.
What I got was an answer that was completely different from her first impression of Xu Su.
"General Xu Su? Unparalleled wisdom!"
"What? Don't believe it? Let me give you a few examples, all Xu Su won the most with less..."
"General Xu Su made people pretend to be a bandit and sneaked into the famous bandit group... Later, he destroyed the bandit group that had plagued the north of Cangqiu for more than ten years in one fell swoop..."
"On the border, General Xu Su is most famous for his military power. In fact, there are many people in the army with higher military power than General Xu Su, but they are all willing to obey General Xu Su's orders. Why? IQ!"
It was not until then that Xia Muyao knew that Xu Su, her future husband, would only turn into a brainless reckless man when facing the affairs of his younger brother Xu Luo, and only use his fists to solve the problem. In fact, he was a very wise soldier!
In the future, he will inevitably become a famous general who is not inferior to Xu Ji, the general of the country!
"Then I will thank you sister-in-law for my brother first." Xu Luo smiled and took the wooden box. He bought it very heavily and didn't need to open it. Xu Luo also knew that the weapons inside were definitely not ordinary ice blades.
"Tell you how much you take care of yourself." Xia Muyao said with a blushing face, then looked at Xu Luo and said, "I heard that you are so rich now. I really don't have anything decent to give you. You won't be angry. I blame you for being inferior to you, right?"
"How could it be, my sister-in-law take care of herself and wait to marry my brother!" Xu Luo said with a smile, then nodded at Xia Dade and Xia Muyao, then waved to Li Hong who was standing in the distance, turned around, and took the shaking step. In the blink of an eye, his back left.
Xia Muyao looked at Xu Luo's back, but what he thought was what he said before leaving: Sister-in-law takes care of herself, and waits to marry my brother... I don't know what I thought of, Xia Muyao's face slowly turned red.
Then, when he saw the grandfather who was smiling aside, Xia Muyao stomped her feet gently, revealing her little daughter's expression, and said angrily: "Grandpa, let's go home!"
Xia Dade laughed happily: "Okay, let's go home!"
After Li Hong greeted Xia Dade and Xia Muyao, he stood there quietly for a long time before sighing and murmured: "Boss, I really envy Brother Xu and the others. Speaking of which, they are your real brothers and can also firmly believe that they will follow you all the time, but I, with the ardent hope of the family, can only be here with you..."
Xu Luo galloped all the way, with a giant black tiger following behind, and the scenery along the way passed by, but his heart calmed down.
What happened to Tianxuan was originally in the world, and the bad aura that had accumulated in his heart also dissipated a lot with the destruction of the Wei family in Hongcheng.
"The power of the sect is by no means comparable to the world. Even a disciple from a third-rate small sect is so arrogant and domineering, which makes people disgusted. It seems that it is normal for those people from Tianquan to behave that domineeringly.
"Having powerful power, but not matching constraints, no wonder since ancient times, the royal family has not liked powerful warriors, and even more so, sects..."
"But the royal families of these countries, especially powerful empires like the Sky Kingdom, which have been established for more than a thousand years, really have nothing to do with sects?"
Xu Luo was rushing along the way while thinking about these issues. He thought that since Qiqi could easily enter the sect, although it was related to her excellent talent, the greater possibility was that the sect itself had a close connection with the Cangqin Royal Family!
"Otherwise, how could a noble sect care about the idea of secular imperial power?"
"In the secular world, Qiqi is a noble princess, but in the sect, she is just an ordinary disciple! She may even be excluded by some sect disciples from the secular world!"
"My mother also comes from a sect, but she doesn't know her name or where she can rank among the sects."
"Qiqi has entered the sect, and Phoenix is also in the sect. The tomboy I know Lin Luo... seems to be from the sect too..." Xu Luo murmured, and suddenly couldn't help but smile bitterly: "And I have never had a good impression of the sect, but now I suddenly realize that I have so many connections with the sect."
At this time, Xu Luo didn't know that the woman who was most important to him had also been taken away by the sect. Once he knew this fact, he didn't know what kind of sense would he have for those sects that were above him?
Xu Luo did not stop along the way, galloping all the way. He now really wanted to return to the imperial capital immediately and return to that warm home, because there were ripples waiting for him at home.
"It's been a long time since I saw Ripples. I wonder if she is doing well now? She will definitely be very happy when she comes back, right?" Xu Luo thought to himself, feeling more and more heartbroken.
...
The towering city walls that exuded ancient aura had appeared in Xu Luo's eyes. Although they were still far away, Xu Luo completely forgot about the fatigue of the journey and couldn't help but roar, and the sound was like a bell, shaking the sky.
The black-stained giant tiger under his crotch also roared, the beast king's roar was domineering, and the sky shook.
Xu Luo's heart was surging, looking at the walls of the imperial capital: I, Xu Luo... is back!
