Three Kingdoms' Great Agent

  Li Qingyuan listened to the knocking sound outside the door, and his heart felt a little strange. After a moment of inexplicable speculation, he suddenly thought that Wang Lei in front of him might be an escaped prisoner, and the person knocking on the door outside might be coming to capture Wang Lei. He couldn't help but smile and said boldly: "Wang Hu Tou, the officer outside the door must be here to catch you. If you surrender obediently and persuade Old Man Du to follow my arrangement, I'll help you this once and let you leave through the back door."

  Wang Lei's face was a mixture of smile and seriousness as he said in a low voice, "Cut the nonsense, open the door."

  "A dead duck with a hard beak."

  Li Qingyuan waved his hand and ordered: "Open the door!"

  The guard immediately opened the door, and two men in official uniforms walked in. Behind them was a boy of about 14 or 15 years old, who was Xiao Hao.

  Xiao Hao saw Wang Lei and told him the news that Du Lao Ye Zi was caught. Wang Lei had an idea in his mind, so he let Xiao Hao go to the county government office to get help. Quan Shou needed Wang Lei's help at this time, and they were also cooperating with each other. After seeing Xiao Hao, he ordered two yamen runners to take Xiao Hao over immediately, just as they encountered the scene where Wang Lei was surrounded.

  One of the bailiffs, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a broad waist, walked up with his left hand pressing on the hilt of his knife, and shouted: "Li Qingyuan, you little devil, are you trying to get yourself killed by putting your knife to an elder's throat?"

  Li Qing's body stiffened for a moment before she put away her steel knife.

  He scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Liu, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, this is all just a big misunderstanding."

  The bailiff, known as Liu Tou, did not have a good expression on his face. He scowled and shouted loudly: "What's going on here? Dozens of people are surrounding one person, what do you want to do? Disperse!" Liu Tou looked at Wang Lei with an uncomprehending gaze, but still smiled and nodded in greeting. As the bailiff of the county government, he often dealt with the local thugs and knew that Wang Lei was a troublemaker who had been involved in fights and killings. What puzzled Liu Tou was why the county magistrate had released Wang Lei and even personally entrusted him to help Wang Lei.

  Was Wang Lei and the county magistrate relatives?

  But I've never heard of it!

  Liu Tou felt it was very strange, and Li Qingyuan also thought so. He didn't dare to be arrogant anymore, and hurriedly ordered his men to disperse.

  Wang Lei threw down the wooden stick in his hand and smiled, saying: "Liu Tou, I left the county government office today and returned home. As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard my brothers say that the old man was caught. I rushed here in a hurry, without bringing anything with me. After returning home, I will personally come to thank you, thank Liu Tou and another big brother for today's affairs."

  Liu waved his hand and said: "Don't be polite, this is what I should do."

  Wang Lei shook his head and said sincerely, "It's a matter of course for you, but it's different for me." His words made Liu Tou feel quite relieved in his heart, thinking that Wang Hu was a sensible person. Wang Lei changed the subject and said, "The dispute between Li Qingyuan and I is just a small misunderstanding, let's consider it settled here."

  "It's a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding."

  Liu's head looked at Wang Lei in surprise, and his heart was even more surprised. It is said that Wang Hu's head is big and has no eyes, but the response just now is reasonable and has a good eye for opportunity. He had received the order from Zhu Shou to take care of Wang Lei, and Wang Lei had indicated that everything was fine and was willing to offer a generous gift, so he asked again: "Brother Wang, are you sure everything is okay?"

  With a glance, Liu Tou inadvertently glanced at Li Qingyuan.

  Li Qingyuan's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Wang Hu was really backing the county magistrate, and it was true that his ancestors' tombs were emitting green smoke.

  Wang Lei nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Liu, for your concern. I will remember it in my heart. These two days have been busy with the handover of the county magistrate's affairs. After I finish, I will personally come to thank you."

  "You're welcome, you're welcome, anytime."

  Liu's smile grew even wider on his face, thinking that Wang Lao Hu had indeed colluded with Ju Shou.

  Li Qingyuan felt a chill in his heart and his legs were trembling.

  Liu and another official glared at Li Qingyuan with a fierce gaze, then turned around and left. Xiao Hao finally got the chance to speak up, took a step forward, stood beside Wang Lei, and curiously asked: "Boss, when I went to the county government office to see the county magistrate, he was very polite to me and even instructed Liu and another official to help us, why?"

  Li Qingyuan's mouth twitched, this situation was too frightening, Wang Lei and Ju Shou had formed an alliance, the tripod-shaped balance of power in Yezhou's East City, West Street, and South Gate was about to change.

  Wang Lei ignored Xiaohao and said: "Let him go."

  Li Qingyuan's expression added a hint of flattery, and he nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, shouting: "Release him immediately, hurry up and let him go!" He ordered the guards to release Du Lao Yezi, and then apologized: "Wang Hu Tou, I was wrong this time, I'll come to your place another day to apologize."

  Wang Lei hummed a tune and supported Old Man Du as they walked away with big strides.

  Li Qingyuan watched as Wang Lei and Du Lao Yezi walked away, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

  ……

  Wang Lei, Du Lao Ye Zi and Xiao Hao returned home. Along the way, Xiao Hao kept asking questions nonstop, constantly asking about the reason why County Magistrate helped them. Wang Lei scolded him with a straight face, and Xiao Hao stopped asking. Du Lao Ye Zi had a gloomy face and didn't say a word. After returning home, Du Lao Ye Zi asked Xiao Hao to close the door and had a private conversation with Wang Lei in the room.

  Old Master Du straightened his hunched back, looking dignified and solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Speak, why did the county magistrate not only release you after catching you, but also specially sent someone to help you out of trouble?"

  Wang Lei replied: "The county magistrate found out that I was wrongly accused, so he specially sent someone to rescue me."

  "Fart!"

  Old Master Du's demeanor changed abruptly, his eyes gleaming with an unprecedented sharpness.

  A tiger dies, but its might remains. Although Mr. Du is frail and weak, at this moment, he gives Wang Wei a fierce and overbearing feeling. Wang Wei's mind turns around, guessing that the old man is probably not just a street thug. He has been practicing martial arts to strengthen his body under the old man's guidance, but an ordinary old man would never have such abilities.

  Furthermore, Li Qingyuan specifically caught the old man, which also confused Wang Lei. Unfortunately, the original Wang Lei only knew how to be brave and fight fiercely, and didn't know many things, nor did he understand Old Master Du's past.

  Wang Lei organized his words carefully, without mentioning the jailbreak, and said straightforwardly: "The county magistrate found me and asked me to help him intercept a eunuch who was on his way to Ye County, so he sent someone to rescue me."

  "Hiss~~"

  Du Lao Yezi took a cold breath, his face changing unpredictably, and scolded: "You little fool, the eunuchs now have absolute power, killing a eunuch is like killing an imperial official, if news gets out, you'll definitely be doomed."

  Wang Lei replied: "If I don't kill the eunuch, I'll be beheaded. If I kill him, there's still a way to live."

  Old Master Du frowned and said: "If it's after killing someone, what if the county magistrate kills to silence?"

  Wang Lei said with a relaxed expression and full of confidence: "The county magistrate has his own abacus, but I'm not a fool. I will definitely let people know about the interception, once something happens to me, I'll expose it. Zuo Xun is a clever person, he won't take action against me. On the contrary, I have already obtained Zuo Xun's support, he supports my unification of the heroic forces in Ye County, and I am the overlord of Ye County."

  Old Master Du's eyes were gentle, but he sneered: "Are you a tyrant or a turtle, it depends on whether you have the ability to survive? Assassinating court officials is not a simple matter, are you confident?"

  Wang Lei said with a smile: "I don't have half a grasp!"

  Old Master Du was so angry that he puffed out his beard and glared, wishing to whip Wang Wei with the sole of his shoe. He scolded loudly: "You good-for-nothing! How could you agree without thinking? This is not letting me, an old man, have a peaceful end in my later years! I've got stuck with this little beast, I must have owed you from my previous life!"

  Wang Lei's eyes were firm, and he comforted him, saying: "Old man, this is an unavoidable thing. Although we don't have a good grasp of it now, I've surveyed the terrain and chosen a good ambush location, so there's still a great opportunity."

  "Failure is not an option, we must succeed or die trying!"

  Wang Lei pretended to be relaxed, patted his chest and said: "Don't you know my skills yet? Besides, I haven't sent you off yet, how can I die first? You can rest assured, this battle will definitely be won."

  The old man was furious: "You little scoundrel, are you cursing me to death?"

  Wang Lei hastily shook his head in denial, and the two of them bickered back and forth while discussing business, actually quite enjoying themselves.
