The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Tang Xiaoyan was practically grinding her teeth to powder as she watched Yin Baicai talking and exchanging glances with Shen Jin, tearing the corn husks in her hand with a loud cracking sound.

That shameless bastard is monopolizing Brother Li while also flirting with some unknown pretty boy.

I wonder where Brother Li went. I didn't see him when I passed by his house yesterday. If Brother Li finds out, let's see what excuse you, Yin Baicai, have left.

It seems I need to keep a close eye on these two. It would be great if Brother Li caught them red-handed when he came back.

Even if Brother Li hadn't caught him red-handed, I would definitely have gotten him back.

You shameless bastard, you're not worthy of Brother Li. Brother Li can only belong to me, Tang Xiaoyan.

After leaving He Qi to guard Fu Man Lou, Li Zhe left with Jiang Su. They couldn't stay there indefinitely, since Yu Ming was in the shadows while they were in the open. It was better to take the initiative than to be passive.

When Li Zhe arrived at the bustling city center, he saw the little beggars squatting by the roadside. He knew that these were the most well-informed people in the town.

Li Zhe handed him the meat buns he had just bought, saying, "Help me find out who the owner of Fu Man Lou has been in close contact with lately. I've found out he's been eating a lot of meat buns."

The disheveled little beggar snatched the meat bun that Li Zhe handed him and wolfed it down. In just a few bites, the meat bun was gone.

The little beggar licked his lips. "Really...really? Enough meat buns?"

Li Zhe: "Manage."

The little beggar immediately picked up his broken bowl from the ground and ran away. The big guy had said that there were plenty of meat buns, so he had to go and tell his friends to go and ask around.

I wish I could have a meal at Hongxilou Restaurant. Every time I pass by there, the aroma of the food is so tempting!

Jiang Su, with his good speaking skills, started talking to the vendors across the street and soon found out the physical characteristics of "Zhao Lin," who was on good terms with Wang Fu.

Could this "Zhao Lin" be the new porter Yu Ming found? But it's understandable, since the porter Yang Hu has already been dealt with, and he's probably already a pile of bones.

The Huang mansion was brightly lit today. Master Huang was overjoyed to learn that his illness could be cured and immediately held a grand banquet to entertain Yu Ming.

The servants filed out and brought out delicious dishes to the banquet hall, while Huang Nian stood by and directed the placement of the dishes.

A moment later, Huang Hou, looking delighted, was helped over by Huang Lianxi, followed by three concubines, with Yu Ming standing to his right.

When Huang Hou was taking his seat, he arranged for Yu Ming and Huang Lianxi to sit on his left and right, respectively.

Seeing the seating arrangement, the three concubines sitting next to them dared not utter a sound, and they secretly exchanged glances.

The three men who learned that Master Huang was terminally ill a few days ago had quite a few schemes up their sleeves, secretly plotting to seize his family fortune.

They even secretly tried to marry off Huang Yuanwai's only daughter so that there would be one less person to share the family property with.

Knowing that Master Huang's illness could be cured, the three women were already hatching their own plans, but fearing that Master Huang would hold them accountable, they naturally dared not utter a word.

So the three of them have been trying to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible lately, carefully trying to figure out what their master is thinking.

All three could tell that their master intended to match Huang Lianxi with this young master Lin.

The banquet lasted for two hours. During that time, Huang Hou and Yu Ming chatted a lot, and the more they talked, the more satisfied he became with the man.

He not only possessed medical skills, but his insights into matters also resonated with him.

During the banquet, Huang Lianxi kept stealing glances at Yu Ming, and the perceptive Yu Ming also picked up on some clues from Huang Hou's words.

He had no time for such things; he still needed to avenge Xiaorou and Zhao'er. Only by taking control of Qingshui Town could he hope that the powerful figure above him would eventually see his abilities, and perhaps then he could avenge his blood feud.

All he knew was that the person who wiped out his old stronghold was a man from the Northwest named General Weiwu, but he had not been able to find out anything about him.

It seems that only that person can help me; otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to succeed on my own.

After the banquet, Mr. Huang, who had intended to bring the two together, took advantage of his drunkenness and led everyone away from the banquet hall.

Now only Huang Lianxi, Yu Ming, and Xiao Ju remain.

Yu Ming broke the silence, "Miss Huang, then I'll take you home!"

Huang Lianxi nodded shyly, and the two of them headed towards Huang Lianxi's courtyard together.

Just then, they ran into Lin Xing, who had been ordered by Huang Nian to go out and buy things. Lin Xing was currently disguised as an investigator in Huang's mansion, and his identity was just a lowly guard. When he saw Huang Lianxi, he naturally had to bow and pay his respects.

After the three people walked away, Lin Xing suddenly looked up. He felt a strange sense of familiarity about this young master Lin.

But he firmly believed he had never seen this person before and must have mistaken him for someone else. Otherwise, if he had seen him, he would not have forgotten him.

Lin Xing can't be blamed for this, since Yu Ming had disguised himself when they fought in Qingning County, so naturally he couldn't recognize him.

Lin Xing handed over the things Huang Nian had arranged to buy to him. Seeing the joy on Huang Nian's face, he asked, "Uncle Nian, you seem so happy. Is there something good happening?"

Huang Nian stroked his beard and chuckled, "You don't know yet, do you? This Young Master Lin is a distinguished guest in our Huang family. Today, Miss heard that he knew a little about medicine, so she sent him to examine Master. Unexpectedly, Young Master Lin said he could cure Master's illness. Isn't that wonderful news!"

Lin Xing couldn't hide the shock on his face. How could this be? People who ingest Five-Stone Powder aren't sick at all. That kind of poison destroys a person's mind. This Lin Zhao claims he can cure it; either he's lying, or...

Suddenly realizing something, Lin Xing was startled and hurriedly said goodbye to Huang Nian. He had to tell Jiang Su and the others about this as soon as possible.

If Lin Zhao is a fraud, fine, but if he's related to Wushi San, it seems we'll have to dig deeper.

It's possible that Yu Ming is behind Lin Zhao's actions.

Moreover, I overheard the servants in the manor talking and they said that Young Master Lin had just saved Miss Lin and was injured when he came to the manor.

There's no such thing as a coincidence in the world. Maybe this is part of Yu Ming's plan.

I thought they had given up on the Huang family line, but they're still up to no good and have started again.

Since I can't make up my mind, I might as well go back to the courtyard and tell Jiang Su for his advice. That guy is quick-witted and might have a solution.

Li Zhe also learned from the little beggar about Yu Ming's general situation in contact with Wang Fu. He also learned that this "Zhao Lin" was someone who suddenly appeared.

Moreover, the fact that these two met was such a coincidence suggests there must be a hidden story behind it.

Li Zhe handed the promised meat bun to the little beggar, then turned and left quickly.
