Bang!
The splattering of blood that he expected did not appear.
The flashing cold light was now firmly grasped in Zhou Fu's hand.
The strong feeling of being weakened made Zhou Fu bend over and gasp for breath with his hands on his knees.
This feeling of weakness lasted for a few seconds, and then Zhou Fu's blood boiled again. The price was that the Yang Ming Wheel became empty, and even its rotation slowed down.
"How … how is this possible!
You are not … you are not … "
Lie Shiqi's eyes widened in fear.
There was a crisp sound.
The long blade shattered in Zhou Fu's hand.
Zhou Fu raised his hand and sent Lie Shiqi flying with a slap.
Whoosh ~
Hot blood rose from Zhou Fu's body. He looked at Lie Jiu and said, "The white light just now was very special."
This was not sarcasm, but a sincere compliment.
Although Zhou Fu could not use the Magical Whale Killing Fist now, he felt very relaxed.
This relaxation came from within his body and from his soul.
The Buddha's shadow in his mind was also covered with a layer of faint golden light.
A cool feeling spread out from his forehead, like a spring flowing in the mountains, nourishing Zhou Fu's body little by little.
Zhou Fu suddenly exerted force on his feet and rushed toward his opponent.
"Sigh ~"
Lie Jiu sighed in pain. Before Zhou Fu's fist landed on his face, he said, "There is some misunderstanding between us."
The fist stopped.
The wind from the fist shook Lie Jiu's hair.
Lie Jiu let out a sigh of relief in his mind, and then said, "Zhou Fawai, there is just some misunderstanding between us. There is no need to fight to the death."
"Oh?"
Zhou Fu pulled back his fist and looked at Lie Jiu in front of him in surprise.
Facing Zhou Fu's gaze, Lie Jiu raised his arms. There was not a single part of his skin that was not injured. Purple and green were all over his arms, and there were dozens of wounds that were still bleeding.
Lie Jiu smiled bitterly. "I'm not afraid that you'll laugh at me if I tell you this. My monthly salary is only a dozen taels of silver. There's no need for me to risk my life."
"Speaking of which …" Lie Jiu looked straight into Zhou Fu's eyes. "Even though my life is worthless, if Zhou Fawai were to kill me now, even the Xing Family would not want to bear the consequences."
Zhou Fu looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, "Maybe you're right, but since you said it was a misunderstanding, isn't this misunderstanding a little too big?"
Hearing that there was a turning point, Lie Jiu was overjoyed.
"What does Zhou Fawai want?
As long as it's within my power, I will definitely not disappoint you. "
Zhou Fu knew how to say such things himself. He just needed to listen to the excitement. He was also past that age of innocence, so naturally, he wouldn't believe the other party.
Lie Jiu was partly right. Killing someone from the yamen would be troublesome.
However, if he had his own people in the yamen, wouldn't it be much easier for him to do what he wanted to do next?
Actually, Zhou Fu also knew that the forces under his command, the Huang Jia and the Chen family, had already been exposed to everyone. There were some things that would be very inconvenient for him to do, such as the Jin family.
There was an old saying in television dramas that Zhou Fu remembered very clearly: The county magistrate who destroys the family, the prefect who destroys the family.
If the yamen were to act, not only the Jin family, but the small and medium-sized forces at the docks would also be a piece of cake in front of him!
As he thought of this, Zhou Fu's eyes flashed with a hint of a smile.
"You guys wait here. Of course, you can also try to escape."
After he finished speaking, Zhou Fu's figure disappeared in an instant without giving the other party any time to react.
Lie Jiu was stunned at first. Then, all sorts of thoughts surfaced in his mind as he continuously weighed the pros and cons.
"Sir … Sir …"
A muffled voice suddenly sounded from the side, giving Lie Jiu a fright.
He turned his head and saw Lie Shiqi, whose face was half swollen.
Seeing this person, Lie Jiu's heart was filled with anger.
"You're not dead yet!"
"Hehe!
Hehe! "
Lie Shiqi did not dare to get angry. Instead, he smiled fawningly and said, "It's all thanks to Sir that I'm still alive!
After this incident, I will definitely follow Sir's lead!
I'm willing to do anything for you. "
Lie Shiqi's words of loyalty did not make him happy. He sighed and said disdainfully, "Stand aside and wait."
"Yes!"
Lie Shiqi consciously stood behind Lie Jiu. He had heard the conversation between Lie Jiu and Zhou Fu clearly.
Lie Shiqi was not surprised by Lie Jiu's choice. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he was also thinking in his heart.
After today's incident, he and Lie Jiu were like grasshoppers on the same rope. They were bound together for good or ill.
Since Lie Jiu was his direct superior, wouldn't he be able to get some benefits from Lie Jiu?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense.
"What are you thinking about?!"
Even though Lie Jiu's back was facing Lie Shiqi, he could feel Lie Jiu's gaze on his back.
As for Lie Shiqi's thoughts, Lie Jiu immediately understood. After all, he had also climbed up from the bottom.
"No, no, I'm not thinking about anything." Lie Shiqi quickly admitted.
"You're not thinking about anything?
Hehe! "
Lie Jiu sneered, but he did not expose him.
At the same time, he was also thinking about how to get more benefits from Lie Shiqi.
After all, there were some things that needed to be done by 'servants.'
At the same time, a carriage stopped next to them. Zhou Fu's voice was heard, "Get in!"
Lie Jiu and Lie Shiqi looked at each other and got into the carriage.
…
The carriage entered the city and arrived at Zhou Fu's residence.
At the gate, the carriage did not stop. Instead, it went straight in.
In the quiet yard, Lie Jiu and Lie Shiqi got off the carriage first, followed by Zhou Fu.
"Let's go to my study."
Inside the house, the three of them sat down.
Yuzhu put down the tea and left.
Zhou Fu looked at Lie Jiu and said, "Killing you guys is not a good choice. Just as you said, it is a misunderstanding between us.
Since it is a misunderstanding, then there is no need to kill and kill. "
Lie Jiu said happily, "Thank you, Zhou Fawai."
Seeing that his superior had spoken, Lie Shiqi also praised Zhou Fu for his magnanimity.
Looking at the happy faces of the two, Zhou Fu asked, "Lie Jiu, you said before that your salary is very low, right?"
"Yes."
Even though Lie Jiu did not know why Zhou Fu asked this, he still answered, "Mine is considered good. Level 1 patrolman gets 15 taels of silver every month."
He looked at Lie Shiqi and said, "Level 2 patrolman gets 6 taels of silver every month."
"15 taels of silver … 6 taels of silver …" Zhou Fu sneered and said, "What can this amount of silver do?"
"Uh …" Lie Jiu was speechless. He did not know how to continue.
Zhou Fu shouted towards the door, "Men."
Yuzhu, who was waiting outside, walked in and said, "Young Master."
"Go and get two banknotes of one thousand taels of silver. One banknote of five hundred taels."
"Yes!"
Lie Jiu was confused. Was this Zhou Fu trying to bribe the two of them?
But he did not feel like it.
"Young Master, here it is."
Yuzhu placed the items on Zhou Fu's table and left.
Zhou Fu stood up and took the banknotes, paper, and pen. He walked over to Lie Jiu and said, "These two thousand taels of silver are for you. Also, write me an IOU for one hundred thousand taels of silver."
"What!?"
These words exploded in Lie Jiu's ears like a clap of thunder. He jumped up and stared at Zhou Fu with his eyes wide open.
