[153] Officials are not officials, and bandits are not bandits.
Seeing Chi Rui's resolute attitude, Mu Yuan didn't want to force him any further, so he changed the subject: "Mr. Su, now that you're in Weicheng, what do you think of the Canglan Gang? They've been causing such a fuss in Weicheng recently that it's really outrageous."
Chi Rui's eyes flashed with an imperceptible cold light, and he said, "The Canglan Gang has committed evil and caused unrest in Weicheng. Their crimes are truly heinous. I am willing to help you, sir, and assist you in repelling the Canglan Gang."
Mu Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Are you serious, Master Su? That's great! If I can get Master Su's help, I won't have to worry about the Canglan Gang being destroyed. Master Su, you can find more of your friends in the martial arts world to help you. When the time comes, if you destroy the Canglan Gang, I will reward them all."
Chi Rui nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. Since I said it, I will definitely do it."
Mu Yuan nodded repeatedly: "If Mr. Su can help me, I will reward him handsomely."
Chi Rui pretended to be greedy for money and asked, "I wonder how much the county magistrate can give?"
Mu Yuan narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips. Su Rui didn't want to be a servant. It turned out he was just looking for money?
That's much easier.
"As long as you can help me wipe out the Canglan Gang, this reward will definitely satisfy you."
"That's great." Chi Rui and Qian Yu beside him looked at each other, and looked at the furnishings in Mu Yuan's house with a greedy look.
He showed his greed for money to the fullest.
It was evening.
Chi Rui stood up and said goodbye: "Sir, I have disturbed you for a long time today. It is time for me to take my leave."
Mu Yuan was a little reluctant and said, "Mr. Su, are you leaving so soon? Why don't you stay at the mansion?"
Chi Rui declined politely, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I still have some things to deal with. I will visit you another day."
Seeing Chi Rui was determined to leave, Mu Yuan couldn't stop him and walked him to the door. "Mr. Su, I hope you'll return soon so we can rid Weicheng of the Canglan Gang."
Chi Rui bowed and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will definitely come back as soon as possible. When the time comes, don't forget to prepare a satisfactory reward."
"Of course, of course."
After saying that, Chi Rui Qianyu left the Mu Mansion.
Looking at Chi Rui's departing back, Mu Yuan's heart was full of anticipation.
After seeing Chi Rui's skills today, with Su Rui's help, even if we can't wipe out the Canglan Gang, we can at least inflict some heavy damage on him.
And the moment Chi Rui walked out of the Mu Mansion, a hint of cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Qian Yu followed behind Chi Rui and asked softly, "Master, are we really going to deal with the Canglan Gang?"
These days, in Weicheng, they have also heard a lot about the good deeds of the Canglan Gang.
They specialized in robbing merchant ships that were rich but unkind, and distributed all the stolen goods and property to the poor families in Weicheng and the fishermen on the coast.
They captured every government ship, but never robbed the supplies being transported to the border.
Because they knew that those were life-saving supplies for the soldiers at the border.
During the epidemic two years ago, the Canglan Gang donated dozens of trucks of medicinal materials. These medicinal materials were purchased by Mo Yanchen himself from other states at a high price by boat.
During the disaster year, he set up multiple relief points to help the victims, and led the entire Weicheng and the surrounding disaster-stricken refugees to get through the disaster year together.
On the other hand, the officials levied heavy taxes, took advantage of the situation to rob, oppressed the poor, killed innocent people indiscriminately, and treated the lives of the poor people as worthless.
In Weicheng, a city on the coast of the East China Sea, officials don’t act like officials, they act more like bandits.
The bandits are not like bandits, but more like saviors who take care of the people.
If such a Canglan Gang were really wiped out, the only ones who would suffer would be the people of Weicheng and the fishermen along the coast.
Chi Rui curled his lips into a cold smile: "It is impossible to wipe out the Canglan Gang, but we must do something to make this old fox trust us completely."
Qianyu nodded and said, "But, sir, what should we do next?"
Chi Rui didn't answer directly, but asked instead: "Is there any news about Xue Lingyu? Have you found her?"
"Not yet." Qianyu naturally knew that the person Chi Rui was looking for was Su Xueer.
Chi Rui looked up at the night sky, feeling in his heart that he shouldn't have pushed her away.
Oh my God, is this a punishment for him?
