Chapter 2: He Won’t Meet You
Chapter 2: He Won\'t Meet You
"Bring someone here!"
Zhang Qing, who was guarding the door, immediately entered the courtyard after hearing it.
"Sir, what are your orders?"
"Make arrangements. I want all the incriminating evidence of Li Ming, the third young master of the Li family."
"This..." Zhang Qing hesitated for a moment and looked up, saying, "Sir, what is it that you want?"
Su Yang glanced at Zhang Qing and replied: "Do I need to explain it to you?"
Zhang Qing\'s body tensed up and he became nervous."Sir, I will do it now." Then, he quickly left the courtyard.
Su Yang continued to swing his sword in a regular pattern. Since he had something he wanted to do, strength was very important. He needed strength to protect himself.
....
After Zhang Qing left, he quickly gave Su Yang\'s orders. The hundreds of people under Su Yang immediately took action.
As a Weapon Master, Su Yang was in charge of hundreds of people. He was usually responsible for managing the security of Spring Wind Street in Ping Shan City. His full name was Spring Wind Street Weapon Master. If warriors or cultivators were making trouble, they would need to take action.
Su Yang\'s order caused quite a stir, and this matter reached Li Ming\'s ears in just an hour.
In Li family mansion, Li Heizi respectfully reported the information he had just received.
Li Ming tapped his fingers on the table: "Collect evidence of my crimes? This newly appointed Weapon Master of Spring Wind Street is really interesting…"
"Help me arrange a meeting with him."
"Yes." Li Heizi retreated respectfully.
...
Zhang Qing came to Su Yang\'s side from outside the courtyard: "Sir, the Li family said that Li Ming wants to meet you at Ju Xiang Tower. What do you think?"
Su Yang frowned, and a sense of disgust rose from the bottom of his heart. The Li family…He had only started his operation for half an hour, and the other party already knew about this matter. He looked at Zhang Qing meaningfully: "Do not meet him."
Zhang Qing\'s head shrank. He felt Su Yang\'s anger. He was about to say something, but he didn\'t dare to do so now. It was unknown how the Li family had offended the newly appointed Weapon Master.
However, Su Yang could not see the situation clearly. Was he, a Weapon Master, truly capable of handling it?
They arrived outside the courtyard and found Li Heizi waiting outside calmly with his back straight.
He wasn\'t worried that Su Yang would refuse. Because he represented the Li family. Seeing Zhang Qing walk out, Li Heizi smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, how is it?"
Originally, he had already prepared his next words. However, Zhang Qing\'s words made him suspect that he had heard wrongly.
"He won\'t."
"What?"
"My master said he won\'t meet you." Zhang Qing repeated.
Li Heizi frowned. Things were a little out of his expectations. He stretched out his hand and took out a banknote from his sleeve, "Can you reveal a little?"
Zhang Qing took it with a smile. After looking around, he whispered into Li Heizi\'s ear: "I\'m not too sure either, but judging from my lord\'s intentions, this matter is definitely done."
After saying that, Zhang Qing looked down and did not say anything else.
Li Heizi nodded and left. He brought the information back and reported it.
Li Ming sat in a pavilion with a displeased expression: "You can leave. I want to see what he wants to do."
...
Another four hours passed. Su Yang had already stopped practicing his sword and was listening to his subordinates report Li Ming\'s crimes. At the same time, there was a stack of sin books beside him.
"He bought all the fertile land from 17 families at a low price. Those who refused to comply had their legs broken…"
"He bought the shop at 77 Spring Wind Street at a low price. The boss was unwilling, and his son was thrown into the river the next day..."
"They bought the herbs collected by the herb gatherer at a low price and forced him to sell them only to him. Those who did not obey were beaten by the Li family\'s servants until they were willing. The herb gatherer sued the government, but he was fooled and had no place to complain. The person who sued disappeared the next day. Rumors said that he disappeared after entering the mountain, but in reality, it was very likely that the Li family did it."
"Under the oppression of the Li family, they could only choose to sell the medicinal herbs to the Li family at a low price."
Li Ming was very focused on making money, but his methods were tyrannical. In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient. How could it be easy for commoners to leave the place where they lived? When being oppressed, as long as they were not forced to death. Sometimes, one had to endure as much as possible.
However, how could they not hope that someone would stand up for them? They stood out, but they were easily pressed down by the Li family. Under such circumstances, they could only endure silently.
Fertile land was the root of commoners, and herbs were the only source of survival for herbalists. At this moment, Su Yang also understood that the will of all living beings was the desire of countless people. This was in line with what he wanted to do in the future.
Su Yang closed his eyes and calmed his anger. All these unfair things to the commoners made him feel indignant. Yet, his belief was even firmer. Since he had the ability in this life, he had to do something. There was no other reason but to feel carefree in his heart.
Su Yang quietly listened to all of Li Ming\'s crimes. At the end of the speech, the dozens of people standing in the courtyard fell silent.
What Li Ming did was too hateful. He relied on his identity and status to do whatever he wanted. He did not do it in secret. They had only casually investigated these matters and had already inquired about them.
The reason for this was that the Li family was the overlord of Ping Shan City. Even the government could no longer control them. Even... Weren\'t the officials wearing the same pants as them?
But could they only let Li Ming continue to be so arrogant? Everyone looked at their Weapon Masters with anticipation in their hearts. Everyone was looking forward to Su Yang\'s next decision.
Although in their opinion, what they were looking forward to was a little taken for granted, they were just looking forward to it in their hearts. Why not?
"Is that all?" Su Yang glanced at everyone and said again," Who is willing to go with me to capture Li Ming and bring him back for trial?"
Su Yang\'s words shocked everyone present. He really wanted to make a move on the Li family!? They clapped and cheered in their hearts. However, the scene was silent. No one answered.
They wanted someone to stand up against the Li family and Su Yang to stand up for these people. However, they didn\'t want to be the ones fighting against the Li family.
However, there would always be people who would stand up.
"Me! Sir, I\'m willing to go with you."
Su Yang looked at his subordinates. He was initially a little disappointed, but now it seemed that it was alright. Not all of them had their backbones broken.
"Very good. What\'s your name?"
"Zhang Hu."
As the first person stood up, more and more people stood up. In the end, everyone expressed their willingness. However, Su Yang did not know how many of them were sincere and how many of them were willing to agree.
Su Yang would not bring so many people, so he only selected the first ten people who spoke. He was there to arrest people, not to raid their homes.
With ten men, Su Yang left the courtyard and rushed to the Li family. A moment later, they arrived at the entrance of the Li family. However, just as he arrived, he was stopped by the servant.
"Stop, what are you doing here?"
Su Yang led the team without stopping and took out the Weapon Master Token.
"Arrest Li Ming."
The guard recognized the token at a glance and did not dare to stop him. One of the guards quickly rushed inside, wanting to report in advance.
