The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 95 Bu Lei
Li Miao didn't say anything. He looked around, found a tree that was thick enough for a person to hug, and raised his hand to stroke it.

scoff-

With a crisp sound, the entire bark was torn off and spread on the ground.

At Yongjie's current pace, I'm afraid it won't be finished before dawn. And it's obviously a bit tricky, so Li Miao couldn't help.

Li Miao sat down on the tree bark, leaned against it, folded his arms, and closed his eyes to rest.

The scriptures for salvation are also quite hypnotic.

I waited until the sun set.

When Li Miao opened his eyes, he saw that Yongjie had finally dug a large pit that could accommodate five corpses.

The fingertips on his hands had been worn to the bones.

Li Miao frowned.

There are magical skills in this world that can heal wounds and restore flesh and blood, but they all require extremely deep skills, or at least a top-notch foundation.

Yongjie is obviously a boxer and palmist. With his hands ruined like this, his martial arts will definitely be affected and he may even relegate to second rate.

With his martial arts skills, he could easily dig this pit in just a few moves.

This doesn't seem like piety, but rather like deliberate self-harm.

Li Miao stood up and walked forward to Yongjie.

"Master, is it almost done?"

"Thank you for waiting for me, I will be well soon."

Yongjie lowered his head and said this, then stood up and walked to the corpses.

He was silent for a long while, his lips moved but no sound came out.

Yongjie carried several corpses into the bottom of the pit, then knelt beside the excavated soil pile, scooped up a handful of soil with both hands, and sprinkled it on the headless corpses.

He clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and began to pray for the souls to be reborn.

Li Miao waited for a while. After Yongjie finished reciting the sutra, he looked up and smiled at Li Miao.

"I'm really sorry, the monk is done."

Li Miao said, "Master, let me do it for you. If you keep burying it handful by handful of soil, you won't be able to finish it by tomorrow morning."

Yongjie thanked him and said, "Of course."

Li Miao raised his palm, his inner energy surged, and he was about to push the soil into the pit.

Just at this moment, he stopped and turned to look to the side.

"Old Bu?"

Before he finished speaking, a man emerged from the woods with swiftness, and stood in front of Yongjie in an instant.

The man first glanced at the bottom of the pit and sneered: "Humph, you are lucky that you didn't fall into my hands!"

The bodies were headless, but their shapes and clothing were recognizable. Plus, with so many people, it wasn't surprising that they were recognized.

After saying that, the man turned his head to look at Yongjie and frowned.

"Why... do you look so familiar?"

Then, his gaze turned to Li Miao.

This is not to say that he couldn't distinguish the primary from the secondary. It was really because Li Miao didn't leak any true energy, and there was no sign of martial arts on his body, so he was placed last.

Upon seeing this, the man's face suddenly fell: "Li Miao!?"

"Hey, Lao Bu, have you eaten?"

Li Miao smiled and said hello.

The person who came was Bu Lei, the pacification envoy of the Northern Pacification Division of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

He had come across the "Seven Monsters of Meishan" by accident, so he killed two of them, and the rest ran away. He was too lazy to chase them.

But when he finished his mission and returned to the local government office to rest, he happened to run into the waiter of the small shop where Li Miao and Yongjie had eaten, who came to report to the authorities.

After Yongjie and Li Miao left, the guy heard no noise outside and dared to come out to check the situation. As a result, he saw a pool of blood and brain matter.

He quickly ran to the nearby town to report to the police, and when he was describing the situation, he was overheard by Bu Lei.

Bu Lei had nothing to do, so he came here and followed the bloodstains on the ground to find this place, thinking of eradicating the root of the problem. As a result, he ran into Li Miao.

He cursed inwardly, pretended to be indifferent, and said: "What are you doing here? Have you finished the mission for Qi Lu?"

"Does the commander know you are here?"

Li Miao didn't answer at all, but looked him up and down and said with a smile: "It's none of your business."

"you!"

With just a few words, Li Miao broke through Bu Lei's defense and revealed his true form.

He said angrily: "Don't forget, logically speaking, you are still my subordinate!"

"Don't be so domineering just because the commander is protecting you!"

When Li Miao was reattaching Liu Baiyun's severed arm, he mentioned that a colleague who had a bad relationship with him lost the courage to compete with him after seeing him use this method to torture prisoners.

This person is Bu Lei.

When the position of Pacification Commissioner of the Northern Pacification Office became vacant, according to Zhu Zai, he actually wanted Li Miao to take the position.

But Bu Lei, who was also a thousand households at that time, also wanted to be the pacification envoy.

Li Miao didn't want to be promoted because once he reached the level of pacification commissioner, he would seldom do things personally, which was not conducive to the use of his golden finger.

But Bu Lei didn't know, so he often came to cause trouble for Li Miao.

I won’t go into details about what happened afterwards. Anyway, when Bu Lei became the pacification envoy, he immediately gave up Li Miao’s position as the commander of the Thousand Households Office. He usually avoided Li Miao and even moved his own cellar to the place farthest away from Li Miao.

Come to think of it, the two haven't seen each other for a year or two.

Bu Lei originally thought that Li Miao was old and he had secured the position of pacification commissioner, so he should give himself some face.

Who would have thought that when Li Miao opened his mouth, he still sounded the same as before - he didn't treat him as a human being at all.

"you--"

Before he could finish his words, Li Miao raised his hand.

Bu Lei swallowed his words reflexively and shrank his neck.

"Alright, alright, go away."

Li Miao waved at Bu Lei as if he was chasing away a fly.

Bu Lei's face turned blue and red, but he didn't dare to open his mouth to refute.

He is also extremely talented and his qualifications are top notch among the Jinyiwei. Looking around the world, he has very few rivals.

But he was afraid of Li Miao, involuntarily, because he had been beaten too many times in the past.

Moreover, Li Miao not only knows how to fight, but also how to treat. He can fight again after the treatment, and then treat again after the fight.

If someone else came to beat him, he would only get one beating at most. But if Li Miao came to beat him, it would be seventeen or eighteen beatings condensed into one beating, which was very unbearable.

Afterwards, there was not a single injury left and no one to seek justice.

Bu Lei can now talk to Li Miao normally, which is the result of his years of experience as a pacification envoy.

He didn't dare to curse back at the moment, but he was unwilling to run away in disgrace.

He glanced around and looked at Yongjie again.

Seeing this, Bu Lei seemed to remember something and a hint of pride appeared on his face.

"You, you don't go back to Shuntian Prefecture, but hang out with this kind of bastard!"

"I will report this to the commander!"

After saying that, Bu Lei rushed into the forest without looking back and escaped.

Li Miao shook his head in disdain: "Tsk, are you going to sue the teacher?"

Then he turned and looked at Yongjie.

"Master, you have a lot of stories. Even Old Bu recognizes you."

Yongjie clasped his hands together and sighed, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sir."

He heard clearly what Bu Lei said just now. Bu Lei had some reputation in the underworld, and with the words "commander-in-chief" and the like, he naturally knew that Li Miao was a Jinyiwei.
