【151】Approach
So that day, Li Muzi was speechless.
He watched helplessly as Chi Rui was surrounded and killed by the officers and soldiers led by Nangong Che.
Amelia Su misunderstood him so much that she wanted to kill him, but he still wanted to take her away by force.
As for why the county magistrate Nangong Che said that Amelia Su was in collusion with him, it has never been explained.
These days, Wu Nishang and Xue Lingyu are responsible for finding Su Xueer's whereabouts.
Chi Rui and Qian Yu were lurking in Weicheng, looking for an opportunity to get close to Mu Yuan, gain his trust, and then send him into hell step by step.
Mu Yuan was the first one. He would not kill them directly because that would be too easy for them.
He wanted them all to be unable to live or die, to eat rotten flesh, pus and blood every day and never to die, and to be despised by the world every night and unable to sleep.
Chi Rui tapped the table rhythmically with his fingers, looking through the beaded curtain of the teahouse at the bustling crowd on the street.
He whispered to Qianyu standing beside him, "The Canglan Gang has turned the entire Wei City upside down because of Mu Qingyao. Mu Yuan must be extremely worried."
Qian Yu leaned forward slightly and responded softly: "Master, our chance has come. As long as we can help Mu Yuan repel the Canglan Gang, we can take the first step to approach Mu Yuan."
Chi Rui coughed lightly. "I don't know why Mo Yanchen is so obsessed with Mu Qingyao. However, this gives us an opportunity. I heard that although the Canglan Gang is rampant at sea, they are so active on land this time. Their manpower and material supply lines must be very long and scattered. We can start with their supply lines. If we interrupt them a few times, they will definitely be in disarray."
Qianyu took the cloak and put it on Chi Rui: "Sir, how are your injuries?"
Chi Rui was about to speak when suddenly there was a commotion outside.
It turned out that the Canglan Gang had clashed with the Mu Mansion guards on the street again. Chi Rui's eyes turned cold, and he picked up a black iron mask and put it on his face.
The mask is cold and hard, fitting the contours of the face perfectly without any gaps.
Chi Rui's narrow pupils were filled with a cold light, as if he could see through everything that was happening in the darkness.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he stood up: "Let's go and take a look."
The two of them came downstairs and saw several Canglan Gang thugs confronting the guards.
Chi Rui shouted, "You are acting like this in broad daylight. Don't you have any regard for the law?"
When the minions saw Chi Rui, they drew their swords and pointed them at him without saying a word, sneering, "In Weicheng, our Canglan Gang is the law."
Chi Rui smiled and said, "Oh? Really? Then do you, the Canglan Gang, take the County Magistrate seriously?"
"County Magistrate? Why don't you ask around? In Weicheng, who is actually working for the people? Those officials, despite always talking about being honest and upright, are actually full of greed and corruption, plundering the people's wealth. Have they ever truly done anything for the people?"
Chi Rui sneered, "An official is an official, charged with governing a region and protecting the people's peace. A bandit is a bandit, knowing only to burn, kill, plunder, and wreak havoc on the world. The Weicheng County Magistrate is under the imperial decree and is responsible for handling the affairs of the people. How can you smear him?"
Not far away, Mu Yuan, who was in a sedan chair, was so excited that he burst into tears when he heard Chi Rui defending his reputation in this way.
He lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and took a look at the situation here, but found that Chi Rui was wearing a fine iron mask and his true face could not be seen.
He had already started fighting with the people from Canglan Gang. With two or three moves, he sent those Canglan Gang minions flying to the east and west.
Zhu Changzai, the chief clerk who was accompanying the sedan chair, said with a smile, "Sir, you see, even the people in the underworld have come to sympathize with your suffering and stand up for you."
