The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

Chapter 217: Following the Clues, the Elder of Xun Family in Dahe City 2

Li Si was walking in front, obviously having walked here many times. He arrived outside Yulin County with ease and walked forward along the road on the left.

The mountain road was rugged and winding, with only a few scattered lights in the dilapidated villages, and many people had gone to bed early.

"Your Excellency, Lord Zhenguo, Xun Huo has brought great harm to Yulin County in recent years. Twelve or thirteen out of ten common people have starved to death. It is truly a horrible sight." Li Si walked with Ye Feng and saw small villages along the way. It was just getting dark and everyone had already returned to their rooms to sleep.

Many people may not even be able to afford dinner, and can only lie down in bed early to save some physical strength and consume less energy.

"You have a heavy burden on your shoulders. I hope that the next time I come to Yulin County, the people here will have enough food and clothing. Tomorrow I will give you some special seeds. Then you can lead the people to plant them and see if it works." Ye Feng said to Li Si as he walked.

After about two hours, Li Si and everyone arrived outside a valley. Even at a distance of nearly a thousand meters, they could still hear the noise coming from the valley.

"Your Excellency, those who sell opium are in the valley. There are about two to three hundred of them, all ruffians from Yulin County. I don't know how they got in touch with Zhao Changlin, and they often sell opium in Yulin County." Li Si pointed to the valley in front, where he could vaguely see the light spreading.

"Go! Surround them!"

Ye Feng brought Madam Xinling, with Dashan and Lao Huang following behind him, as well as two thousand cavalrymen. None of them rode on horses, and they quickly dispersed in the direction of the valley and surrounded it.

Everyone quietly came to the outside of the valley and saw several piles of firewood burning inside the valley. The flames illuminated the entire valley. There were many houses built around it, and it was obvious that these people had lived here for a long time.

The people in the valley were unaware of the arrival of Ye Feng and others.

They all knew very well that the county magistrate of Yulin County didn't care about them. As long as they didn't provoke Xun Huo in Yulin County, they didn't need to be on guard at all.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Ye Feng took a step forward and walked towards the valley, sinking all the way down. The soldiers surrounding him also followed suit and closed the circle.

"who?"

The people who were originally drinking and having fun in the valley suddenly looked in the direction of Ye Feng and others, with cold murderous intent in their eyes and unfriendly expressions.

"What? Someone?"

Everyone stood up one after another, stretched out their hands, and pulled out the weapons from their waists. Some people quickly went to the weapon rack next to them and picked up their weapons.

"Hahaha... who was I thinking? It turns out to be Constable Li Si. Didn't I hear that you were locked up in Tianlao by Xun Huo and beaten half to death? Why are you doing here in my territory in the middle of the night?" Not far away, a middle-aged man with a slightly sturdy figure and a cold look flashing in the depths of his eyes. He was holding a big knife in his hand and his face was full of flesh, looking extremely ferocious.

"Your Excellency, he is the leader of this group, nicknamed Liu Heng the Mountain Cutter. He used to be a horse thief in Yulin County, but later by chance, he somehow entered the realm of junior grandmaster, and his strength is very strong." Li Si looked at Liu Heng opposite him and quickly introduced him to Ye Feng.

"Zhen Guojun? Zheng Guojun? Why does it sound so familiar?" Liu Heng was a little surprised to see Li Si being so respectful to Ye Feng. When he heard the other party call Ye Feng Zheng Guojun, he immediately frowned.

"The boss... is the famous Zhenguo Jun of the Song Dynasty. I heard that he is very good at fighting." A subordinate quickly reported to Liu Heng.

"Ah... is it him?"

After Liu Heng knew that Ye Feng was actually the Lord of the State, his face changed drastically, and he smiled apologetically, saying, "I was blind and didn't know that the Lord of the State had come to visit. I wonder if you have any advice for me?"

His eyes flickered slightly. It was not easy for him to struggle for so many years. With his eyesight, he was naturally very clear that since Ye Feng dared to come, he must be fearless.

Moreover, when he saw the heroic female general wearing armor and holding a spear beside Ye Feng, he understood that the other party must be Lady Xinling.

"I heard that you were selling opium in Yulin County? Is that true?"

Ye Feng looked indifferent as he asked Liu Heng.

"Damn it, it must have been Li Si who discovered it." Liu Heng cursed inwardly, but he knew very well that since Ye Feng had come here, it would be impossible for him to quibble. He immediately knelt on the ground, his face full of grief, and said: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong... The reason why we all sell 'opium poison' is because we have been deprived of food by Xun Huo, so we took the risk."

The faces of Liu Heng's subordinates all changed drastically. They didn't expect that the usually arrogant and domineering boss would now kneel in front of Ye Feng, crying.

"We are willing to tell you everything we know, and we only ask that Lord Zhenguo can spare our lives." Liu Heng knelt on the ground and begged.

"You are quite forthright and confess quickly."

When Ye Feng saw Liu Heng kneeling on the ground, he realized that this man was no match for him, so he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy without even thinking of counterattacking beyond his ability.

"Let me ask you, where does your 'opium poison' come from?" Ye Feng asked Liu Heng.

"Your Excellency, Lord Zhenguo, we went to Changlin County to get them." Liu Heng did not hide anything.

"Who is the person that Changlin County is trading with you?" Ye Feng continued to ask.

"Your Excellency, we don't know who the person we are trading with is. He always comes wearing a mask and won't let us ask about his identity."

What Liu Heng said was true. Every time they arrived at Changlin County, they would wait outside the wild ridge. The other party would usually deliver the "opium poison" to them within two or three hours.

"In that case, are all your 'opium poison' sold in Yulin County?" Ye Feng looked at Liu Heng. According to his guess, someone from the Xun family must be involved in this matter.

Otherwise, with Liu Heng's mere grandmaster level of cultivation, it would be impossible for him to so brazenly distribute "opium poison" in Yulin County without anyone intervening.

This is such a good way to make money. As a county magistrate, Xun Huo is blinded by the money and will definitely want to get involved.

"Your Excellency, Lord Zhenguo, the profit we get from selling 'opium poison' is very small. We have no choice but to do so. The vast majority of the profits in the entire Dongyou County go into the pocket of Xun Yu, the second son of the Xun family." Liu Heng's face was full of bitterness. He did not think of hiding it from Ye Feng. He knew very well that his life was in the hands of the other party!

Ye Feng looked indifferent. He didn't expect Liu Heng to be so sensible. It was just a pity that he shouldn't have touched the "opium poison".

"Lord Zhenguojun, I have told you everything I know. Please spare my life. I will never touch opium again and turn over a new leaf." Liu Heng knew that he had said everything he should say, and he kowtowed to Ye Feng repeatedly.

"If you can escape death by confessing, then where is the law of the Song Dynasty? Remember not to touch opium in your next life. I hate this stuff the most!"

There was a cold murderous intent in the depths of Ye Feng's eyes. In his previous life in China, when he first entered the military camp, the most dangerous mission he carried out was to destroy the "Poison King".

In that battle, many of his comrades died, and only four survived. They later killed all of the "Poison King's" subordinates and his entire family.
