Although Li Shi does not have any great talents, he is a young master of a noble family after all. He still knows the big noble families in Youzhou, and the Liaodong Gongsun family is undoubtedly one of the big noble families in Youzhou. If the Li family is the overlord in Gu'an City

If so, then the Gongsun gentry are the overlords of Liaodong County. One is a gentry from a county, and the other is a gentry from a county. The difference between them is obvious.

However, the Gongsun family in Liaodong is prosperous, and there are many people with the surname Gongsun. This Gongsun Shou should not be a descendant of the gentry, otherwise he would not be associated with a small businessman in Gu'an County. Thinking of this, Li Shi felt relieved. He had no idea at all.

Thinking that Xu Kang would lie to him.

Xu Kang saw Li Shi's expression changing, and he was also worried. Now that Li Shi's expression had softened, he tried to say: "Master Li, since I have already killed the bastard who offended you, do you think it's okay?

Let me go."

"Put it away?" Li Shi looked at him funny and said, "Where is Gongsun Shou now?"

"He has returned to Liaodong." Xu Kang said honestly.

"Since he has gone back and you are his friend, let's get some interest on you first. If you come, give him a hundred lashes first." Li Shi sneered.

"No, I'm not familiar with him." Xu Kang hurriedly defended: "Otherwise, he just left not long ago, and they were using a carriage. They can still catch up now. Why don't you let me go? I'm willing to

I will lead the way for you, catch him back, and make amends." Xu Kang looked at him expectantly, as long as he could get out of this cell, he would have more chances to escape when he got outside.

"Hmph." Li Shi snorted coldly and said, "Don't dream about it. Since they have business in Gu'an, I believe they will come back, and I will naturally catch them by then. Okay, you guys are still waiting.

What? Do it."

"Yes." A big man bowed in response, then grabbed the whip and started to whip Xu Kang.

A whip shadow was a trace of blood, and Xu Kang screamed repeatedly.

Li Shi watched him smoke for a while and found it boring, so he walked out and said, "It's really boring. I'll leave first. Remember not to be lazy. And don't beat him to death."

"yes."

Soon Xu Kang's screams stopped. It wasn't that the execution was over, but that Xu Kang's whole body was numb from pain. Now each whip just made Xu Kang's body convulse. Xu Kang didn't remember that he had been beaten.

After so many whips, I felt that my whole body was on fire, my thoughts were a little confused, and my meaning began to become blurry. Looking at the blurry figure opposite who was still meticulously executing the whipping, he said: "You are still beating, anyway, your family

The young master has already left, no one will know if I give you a few more lashes, aren't you tired?"

The executor was stunned for a moment by Xu Kang's words and said, "I'm not tired." He continued to smoke.

Xu Kang pulled a wry smile from the corner of his mouth and said softly: "Damn, if every civil servant in the country was as dedicated as you, how rich and powerful China would be."

"What did you say?" The big man couldn't help but twitch his ears when he heard Xu Kang muttering, but there was no sound. Only then did he realize that Xu Kang had passed out.

"What should we do now?" the big man asked his companion beside him.

"What should I do? There are still five whips left. After the beating, give him medicine quickly. If he dies, it will be bad if the young master blames him." said the companion.

"Are there only five whips left?" the big man asked doubtfully.

"Then how many more whippings do you want?" said the companion: "This boy dares to joke and joke even when he is being beaten. It's not easy."

The big man pondered for a moment, whipped Xu Kang five times quickly, and then he and his companions put Xu Kang down and began to apply medicine to him.

In an ordinary house in the east city of Gu'an City, Zhao Bahu had been picked up by Cheng Yuanzhi, who explained Xu Kang's situation.

"Now, we want to know where Xu Kang may be imprisoned?" Cheng Yuanzhi said to Zhao Bahu.

Zhao Bahu squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and said: "There is a row of houses in the east garden of the Li family, which is the torture hall set up by the Li family. If there are no accidents, Xu Kang should be imprisoned there."

"You didn't lie to us, did you?" Deng Mao shouted.

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not." Zhao Bahu said, "He saved my life, and now I'm just paying him back."

Cheng Yuanzhi said: "Okay, I believe you, then tell us the situation of the Li family in detail, and we will take action tonight."

"Okay." Zhao Bahu replied.

In the dead of night, the crescent moon shines like a hook, illuminating the earth in a gloomy and miserable state. Most of the Li Mansion is already dark, with only a few lanterns here and there, emitting a lonely light.

Several figures quickly approached the courtyard wall of Li Mansion.

One of them said: "Do you remember everyone's mission?" It was Cheng Yuanzhi's voice.

"Yes." Others also said solemnly.

"Okay. Let's begin." Cheng Yuanzhi said.

The two people quickly held hands. Cheng Yuanzhi took a few steps and stepped on the place where the two hands were holding each other. The three of them used each other's strength, and Cheng Yuanzhi jumped up to the top of the ten-foot-high wall near Li's house. The rest were left.

Several people followed suit and jumped onto the courtyard wall, then bent down and pulled the last two people up.

Everyone jumped off the wall, and with Cheng Yuanzhi's forward gesture, everyone was quickly submerged in the darkness.

Due to the presence of the super spy Zhao Bahu, Cheng Yuanzhi knew all about Li Mansion's outposts and hidden stakes, and even the patrol time intervals. Therefore, he found the execution room that Zhao Bahu mentioned with almost no effort, and found

Xu Kang was unconscious and then secretly and silently rescued him.

The whole process was extremely secretive and fast, without any sloppiness.

Xu Kang woke up in a daze and found himself lying on the bed under the dim light. He was a little confused and almost doubted whether he had traveled through time again. Fortunately, Deng Mao's messy head appeared in Xu Kang's sight.

When Deng Mao saw Xu Kang waking up, he said happily: "Brother, he's awake, Xu Kang is awake. You're a good boy, you've been whipped so many times."

Xu Kang curled his lips, wondering what being whipped had to do with whether he could do it or not. At this time, Cheng Yuanzhi came over.

Only then did Xu Kang remember that he had such a cheap master. His eyes turned red for a moment, and he choked with sobs: "Master, you saved me?"

Cheng Yuanzhi nodded and said, "Now that you're awake, let's take good care of ourselves."

Xu Kang was already extremely weak. After hearing this, he nodded with a smile and fell asleep after a while.

Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao knew that Xu Kang was fine and left the room.

"We will leave the city early tomorrow morning. Just leave a few brothers to take care of Xu Kang." Cheng Yuanzhi said: "If the Li family finds out that Xu Kang has been rescued, they will definitely search the whole city."

"What are you afraid of?" Deng Mao asked: "Others are afraid of their Li family, are we two brothers still afraid of them?"

"It's not a matter of fear or not." Cheng Yuanzhi said: "Now is not the time to fall out with the Li family."

The next day, Xu Kang woke up and struggled to remember. But as soon as he moved, he felt severe pain all over his body.

"Just lie down." A voice said, "Your whole body is covered with injuries, but luckily no bones were injured. You will be fine after a few days of rest."

Xu Kang turned around and said in surprise: "Cheng Xiaoyao? Why is it you?" Xu Kang had lived in Chengjia Village for more than ten days and didn't know many people, but the seven people who went out to steal food with him at night were still

I know Cheng Xiaoyao is one of them.

Cheng Xiaoyao smiled and said, "If it weren't for me, would you still want to find a grown-up girl to take care of you?"

Xu Kang also smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to be here. Where is my master?"

"What is your master?" Cheng Xiaoyao said dissatisfied: "Master Cheng Xian is also my master."

Xu Kang was stunned. He really didn't know this. He only knew that Cheng Yuanzhi had many apprentices, but he never knew they were there. He then smiled and said, "I didn't expect that we are still brothers."

Cheng Xiaoyao smiled and said: "That's okay. I don't know how many apprentices the master has. Anyway, the master likes to accept apprentices. Every time he goes out, he has to recognize a few disciples."

Xu Kang joked with Cheng Xiaoyao for a while, and then asked: "Where is this place?"

"This is a secret hall of our Taiping Dao in Gu'an City." Cheng Xiaoyao said, "Don't worry, the Li family will never find it here."

In Li's East Garden, Li Shi stood at the door of the execution room and roared loudly. This morning, he was really shocked when he heard that Xu Kang was missing, and hurriedly came to check. He found that just as the servants reported, Li Shi was angry.

"You idiots." Li Shi stood on the steps and cursed at the four coaches standing in a row below. In order to train Li Shi, Li Su had given him some of the rights of the Li family.

.Therefore, although the four major coaches of the Li family have high status in the Li family, they still dare not refute Li Shi.

"You usually praise yourselves to the sky, but today someone was able to take people away from my Li family without anyone noticing, and what about you? No one noticed it. So if they come again tomorrow,

Wouldn't it be possible to take away my head from my neck?" Li Shi roared: "My Li family has made a lot of money, jewelry, and women support you, what's the use of it? Check it for me, check it carefully, check it carefully,

Anyone who obstructs you will be beaten and killed. If you can't find out who Chou Yin is, I will make it impossible for you to eat and just go around in circles."

The four coaches immediately bowed and said cautiously: "Yes."

So for the remaining two days, the entire Gu'an County was in a state of chaos.

Although there was a commotion outside, the yard where Xu Kang was located was indeed peaceful. Xu Kang's recovery speed was surprising, and he could get out of bed and walk in just two days.

Xu Kang knocked lightly in front of a carved wooden door.

"Come in." A deep voice came from the room.

Xu Kang pushed open the door and entered. The room was simply decorated. Xu Kang went straight to the bed and sat down. He said to the person lying on the bed, "How are you? Are you okay?"

"It's not the same as before. I'm not like you, I'm just like a monster, and I healed so quickly." The person lying on the bed turned out to be Zhao Bahu, who had broken his leg.

Xu Kang was a little proud when he heard this and said with a smile: "Don't you just lie on the bed like a waste all the time and come down for a walk occasionally?"

Zhao Bahu secretly rolled his eyes and ignored him. Xu Kang teased him again.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" and the door was knocked open.

Xu Kang looked at Cheng Xiaoyao who rushed in in surprise and said, "What's wrong? Didn't you go outside to find out the news? Why are you so anxious?"

Cheng Xiaoyao took a few breaths, flushed, and said: "Shopkeeper Xue, something happened to the Xue family."

Xu Kang stood up suddenly and said, "What happened to the Xue family?"

Cheng Xiaoyao said: "The Li family has not been able to find you in the past two days, so they are angry with the Xue family. This morning, the Xue family's nursing home broke into the Xue family's shop and asked about your whereabouts. Shopkeeper Xue didn't know it, and the two couples were killed."

When Xu Kang heard that Shopkeeper Xue and his wife were killed, Xu Kang felt his eyes go dark, staggered, and almost fainted.
