Li Rui's mouth curled up slightly.

A?

Not a bad grade.

"Come in."

Li Rui looked at Liang He, who had been hesitating at the door for a long time, and took the initiative to speak.

Liang He walked in.

He didn't speak, and Li Rui didn't urge him.

Only the sound of rustling book turning could be heard in the room; finally, Liang He couldn't help it anymore: "Hall Master, I really can't figure it out."

Li Rui put down the Daoist scripture in his hand.

"What can't you figure out?"

Liang He's face turned red, and he finally gathered the courage: "Sun Ming did so many evil things, and had no retribution, but because he bought some private salt, he died?"

He wasn't a naive kid either.

Selling private salt is a serious crime, but are there few people in the Tiandi Alliance and the Xuehu Gang who sell private salt?

Not to mention the Tiandi Alliance, even the Zhu family and the Zhang family have unclear relationships with the Salt Gang.

But these people don't do it much more cleverly than Sun Ming, but the government has always turned a blind eye.

Li Rui shook his head with a smile:

"You, you are just too stubborn; is this about private salt?"

"No."

"But do you know who bought the position of Constable Deng with money?"

"It's Vice Helmsman Zhang."

"Then do you know who Hall Master Guo of the Civil and Martial Hall used to be a town-house martial arts master for?"

"It's the Qinghe County Magistrate."

Liang He's eyes widened, and he couldn't speak for a moment: "I... I..."

Li Rui: "Private salt cannot kill a Sun Ming; if you want to blame someone, blame him for standing on the wrong person and choosing the wrong time; the County Magistrate and Vice Helmsman Zhang both want him dead, how can he not die?"

Liang He fell into silence.

After a long time, he slowly raised his head: "Hall Master, I understand."

He had always thought it was the Yu Kingdom's law that defeated evil.

It turned out to be just a victim of interest struggles.

Li Rui looked at Liang He, who left dejectedly, and sighed lightly.

"Some things, it's better to know early."

If someone had pointed it out to him as he was now, he wouldn't have suffered so much in the Zhu family stables.

Having lived for so many years.

He knew very well that when strength is weak, wanting to move someone, relying on morality and law is useless.

If he remembered correctly, the grievance drum at the gate of the county government office hadn't given justice to the poor even once.

You have to rely on interests.

Only when there are enough people with the same interests and they are strong enough can things be done.

As for how to use these relationships, it can only be slowly boiled out over time.

Noon.

Wu Tu came uninvited and appeared in the black market.

"Brother Li, you did this thing really beautifully."

As soon as he heard that Li Rui had sent the little brother Zhao Wei planted in the black market to the black prison and he had died in prison, he shouted happily.

Li Rui said faintly: "Don't talk nonsense; I'm just a good citizen who acts according to the law."

Good citizen...

Wu Tu's mouth twitched.

But on second thought.

Isn't it? Everything Li Rui did complied with the Yu Kingdom's laws and the Tiandi Alliance's rules, but it was precisely in these cumbersome rules that Li Rui did it with ease.

"Brother Li, a reasonable person."

Wu Tu gave Li Rui a thumbs up.

He is in the Jianghu, so he knows too well how exquisite the heat is needed to do things like Li Rui.

"Could it be that he is really an old man becoming a demon?"

Wu Tu muttered in his heart.

Li Rui glanced at Wu Tu, who was lingering in the room and wouldn't leave: "Anything else?"

Wu Tu smiled cheekily:

"Brother Li, I want to borrow some money from you."

Li Rui was instantly amused: "You kid haven't even paid back the last Body Strengthening Pill, and now you want to borrow money?"

Wu Tu leaned closer with a cheeky face: "Brother Li, we are all our own people, I won't hide anything."

Lowered his voice:

"I found a piece of spiritual soil!"

Spiritual soil!

Hearing the words "spiritual soil," Li Rui also became interested.

Wu Tu grinned: "Old brother, you also know that I stayed in the Rong Sect before; a few days ago, a few little cubs who remembered my kindness told me that they learned of a family in Qinghe that had fallen into decline and actually had spiritual soil in their hands."

Li Rui's eyes lit up.

Such opportunities are rare.

It was precisely because Wu Tu had a deep foundation in Qinghe and was well-informed that he could know this news in advance.

Wu Tu: "It just so happened that the old guy likes to gamble and owed my gambling house quite a bit of money; after going back and forth, he agreed to settle the account for him, and then give him another thousand taels of silver, and he would sell the spiritual soil to me."

Spiritual soil is not a spiritual herb; it is a good thing that can be used as a family heirloom.

Li Rui frowned and pondered.

Soon, he remembered.

He remembered that forty years ago, when he was just a small groom and the Zhu family had not yet risen, there was a family in Qinghe with quite a bit of strength, the Lin family.

It's just a pity that Old Master Lin was a hero for a lifetime, but the three sons were all incompetent.

After the old master died, the Lin family declined rapidly.

By these few years, there was no news at all, and almost no one in Qinghe remembered that there had been a Lin family in the city.

Li Rui asked: "Is that person surnamed Lin?"

Wu Tu was surprised: "Brother Li, can you still tell fortunes? Even this you know?"

Li Rui heard this, and his heart was three-tenths certain.

With the financial resources of the Lin family back then, it was possible they really had spiritual soil.

"Good, let's split it fifty-fifty."

"Okay."

Wu Tu agreed without even thinking.

Spiritual soil is a long-term business; it's fine to let Li Rui have it first.

Agreed.

Li Rui took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels from his bosom.

This silver was naturally exchanged from the gold that Kong Ming bribed him with at the firm.

Wu Tu saw that Li Rui really had one thousand taels and tutted:

"The oil and water of the black market are really extraordinary."

He didn't know that in order to bribe Li Rui, Sun Ming had sent out all the money he had saved for several years.

Took the silver ticket.

Wu Tu left the black market happily.

Wu Tu's efficiency in handling things was very high.

Only one night passed.

He came to the black market again, laughing triumphantly: "Brother Li, I've handled the matter for you!"

Li Rui heard this.

Also couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

Such a good thing as spiritual soil has always been priceless; once discovered, it will be targeted by big forces, and it is extremely difficult for individuals to buy it.

Wu Tu took out a small wooden box from his bosom mysteriously.

Look closely.

Good fellow, it's actually red sandalwood!

Li Rui's appetite was also hooked.

Wu Tu slowly opened the lid.

A small wooden box an inch square was filled with black soil; what was different from ordinary soil was that Li Rui actually felt the breath of life from this black soil.

Spiritual soil is truly extraordinary!
