Chapter 431 Huo Er Ye is a scapegoat!

se her grandson, sipping water slowly and savoring it to moisten her throat.That which was once a symphony of chirps and chatter, now only smiles with a mischievous glint in its eye, not uttering a si..."Brother, let's talk it out, let's talk it out!"

The middle-aged man raised his hands, his face as white as a sheet, terrified that the other person might get agitated and chop off his head like a turnip.

And the woman in his arms was already unconscious, soft and limp, pressing down on him so he couldn't breathe.

He wanted to get the woman down, but was afraid of being misunderstood as resisting. So he struggled to organize his language, "Which road are you brothers on But passing through Xindu, I'm short on money Don't worry, don't worry, I am the most righteous person."

“Take two hundred taels of silver first, no, take five hundred! You can spend it freely, brother. If you need more, just come back for it. We met by chance, it's fate!”

Unfortunately, his words were dry and lacked conviction. The saber around his neck remained untouched.

Just when he thought he had met a tough opponent today, and was surely going to die, several men in black who were checking everywhere came out. One of them whispered to the boss, “Master, there’s no one else in the rest of the house.”

"Alright, have two people guard the gate and keep an eye on the next-door neighbor's movements." The leader in black removed his face mask while giving orders, then greeted with a faint smile: "Ho Ming, Lord Ho Er, it's been a long time. I've heard much about you both."

The casino owner was even more frightened when he heard his name being called out.

If these people take the silver and leave, without showing their faces or communicating names, he still has a chance to survive.

Now that these people are openly showing their faces and calling him out by name, this is clearly an attempt to silence him.

After all, the dead can't speak. Knowing too much doesn't matter anyway...

Ho Ming shivered his lips, still desperately trying to save himself, "Brother, we have no feud, and I'm willing to support you with some silver. Brother, there's really no need..."

Li Zhensheng fanned himself with a cloth and then smiled as he walked to sit opposite Huo Ming. The lamplight illuminated his face, finally allowing Huo Ming to see him clearly.

"Mr. Li What is this..."

He even forgot the saber at his neck, such was his astonishment.

Li Zhensheng is a legendary figure in Xindu!

Without mentioning how prosperous his business had been at the Wang family before, let's just say that after he returned to his ancestral home, everyone thought he was going to see the King of Hell. Unexpectedly, he recovered as if nothing had happened and even went far away to Quanzhou to find new good quality seeds.

Faced with such immense merit, he did not ask for any personal gain. Instead, he pleaded with the emperor to grant his mother a noble title and bestow an earldom upon his younger brother.

Moreover, the several shops that originally belonged to the Wang family were also taken back by him and managed very successfully, even more prosperous than before.

At least the new dish at Qǐmǎxiān, he had tried it too.

He Mingru pondered over it, he couldn't figure out where he had offended Li Zhensheng. Why would Li Zhensheng bring people to his door and threaten him so viciously

But to his even greater surprise, there was still more to come…

Li Laoer and Li Laos also pulled out handkerchiefs and sat down at the table.

Huo Ming's mouth was wide open, but he couldn't make a sound.

The three Li brothers from Suijin Beach came together in the dead of night to take his head. Shouldn't he feel honored

Li Zhensheng stopped threatening him and motioned his younger brother to withdraw his saber. He said, "I apologize, Master Huo Er. Today, the reason our brothers came was to ask for clarification on something."

But Second Master Huo must also know that you have many people here, and we don't want anyone to be disturbed. That's why we acted so rashly."

Ho Ming instinctively touched his neck, trying to calm himself down, and asked, "Mr. Li, please speak your mind. As long as I know, I will certainly tell you everything."

"Alright," Li Zhensheng poured himself a glass of wine, took a half sip, acting as if he were at home. He casually asked, "Isn't there someone named Bao who manages for Er Ye Huo and works in the casino next door"

Huo Ming frowned and replied, "That's right, there's such a person. I don't like to show my face. The casino is almost all managed by him. I only come here occasionally. How did this dog slave offend Boss Li"

Li Zhensheng nodded, a cold smile playing on his lips. “Of course, and he went rather far in offending us. He’s plotting to ruin our Li family, to ruin Suijintan! I thought, even beating a dog requires looking at its master, how can we not let Master Huo know In the future, when raising dogs, one must choose carefully.”

This might sound harsh, but Huo Ming secretly let out a sigh of relief.

If he hadn't offended the Li family, his life wouldn't be in such danger today.

After all, the Li family still has to live in Xindu. His brother-in-law is a master at the Jingzhao Mansion...

Moreover, it was his dog that bit someone. Killing the dog would be a way to vent and basically solve the problem.

Thinking this way, Huo Ming’s voice became firmer. He proactively poured wine for the three Li brothers and asked, “Mr. Li, I don’t know how the dog I raised offended you Just tell me, if it’s his fault, I promise to give Mr. Li an explanation.”

Li Zhensheng looked at Li Lao'er, and Li Lao'er told him about how he had instructed Zhang Jin to lure Wei Dagun into gambling and get all the men in Xincun involved.

Huo Ming cursed inwardly. He had made it clear before that this was no longer the original Fu City, but a new capital where all sorts of immortals gathered.

The Huo family could still put on a show of power before, but now they can only lower their heads and make money quietly.

To my surprise, my subordinates still resorted to "fishing" tactics!

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, please don't be angry. This is just a blunder by someone below me. I'll have him come over right now and give you both a good beating to vent your anger." Huo Ming almost patted his chest in assurance. "From now on, no one will ever dare to provoke Suijin Beach again."

Unfortunately, Li Zhensheng stopped him, smiling sarcastically, "Second Master Huo, you misunderstand. If it were just this little matter, we three brothers wouldn't bother to visit together."

Huo Ming instinctively raised his heart again, "Then, Mr. Li means..."

Li Lao'er didn't want to say out loud that he had been tricked and seduced, so Li Zhensheng spoke instead: "This is guaranteed. I have a cousin named Liu Sanzi, who is a ruffian from Aoking Town. A few days ago, Liu Sanzi teamed up with several members of the Gong family in Aoking Town to kidnap the eldest mistress of the direct branch of the Gong family and threatened their granddaughter to work for them.

Under the bright sun, they set up a hero-saving-beauty scheme. Almost got Gong's granddaughter and grandson killed right in front of my second brother. My second brother found the whole thing too coincidental and suspicious, so he brought Gong's granddaughter and grandson back to Suijin Beach.

Today we took people to Aokizhen to investigate thoroughly. All the relevant people have been brought back. The granddaughter of the Gong family explained that her mission was to enter our Li family, either by marrying my second brother or finding an opportunity to poison our entire family.

When Huo Er Ye heard this, he was stunned and didn't react immediately. He subconsciously asked: "Has Li Boss offended someone in his family"

Li Zhensheng endured with great difficulty, not rolling his eyes.

With such intelligence, no wonder he can only guard a small gambling den and secretly sleep with a widow.

Li Laosi was getting impatient and interjected, "That's right, Liu Sizi has confessed. It was his cousin who instigated him to look for women and plotted against my second brother, even trying to kill our whole family!"

"And you're the one in charge here, so it's you who's trying to harm our Li family! That's why we've come to settle the score with you!"

"No, impossible!" Ho Ming finally understood, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

No wonder the Li family immediately put a knife to his neck. After all, his entire family was so ruthlessly schemed against, he would go mad too.

But he was wronged!that her mother had something to ask them, the two of them walked over hand-in-hand.Upon hearing the reason, Jia Yin frowned, instinctively feeling that Baozhu received the invitation because of her.D...
