Chapter 171 Wang Jue, Earth Snake Gang, Murder
The sun and the moon alternate, and a few days pass.
One day at noon.
Guanbai and Li Changxiao came to eat arm in arm. Li Changxiao was a rare long-term guest and had no money on him, so he naturally left his three meals a day to the inn.
Although it was just one more bowl and chopsticks, the proprietress insisted on "settling the bill clearly between brothers" and added the numbers to the bill one by one. The swordsman ignored her. In his opinion, not only could he eat for free here, but he could also drink for free, and it was the famous wine, which made him very happy.
When she came here for the second time, the proprietress's greedy nature finally revealed itself. She was so happy watching the money coming in every day that she started humming a little tune.
But he is still not satisfied and keeps complaining about not having enough money. In this world, vegetables and meat are not cheap.
Seven dishes were laid out on the dining table, including both meat and vegetarian dishes. The second in command had returned last night and sat on the right side of Li Changxiao. Guanbai and the cook sat on the left side. The proprietress had gone to the toilet and asked everyone to wait.
The second in command didn't care about all that. He heard that Li Changxiao was a good drinker, so he poured him half a bowl and started bragging to him while drinking with him.
After drinking to their heart's content, the proprietress came back. The five of them ate for a while. The second in command suddenly looked at the proprietress, then at Li Changxiao, with obvious meaning, asking whether the next topic should be discussed in front of Li Changxiao, an outsider.
Li Changxiao was tactful and was about to leave, but the proprietress rolled her eyes and seemed to have some new idea, so she asked the swordsman to stay.
"Little drunkard, there is a money-making project, do you want to participate?" the proprietress asked with a smile.
"Making money?" Li Changxiao was stunned.
"Ahem," said the second in command, "It's my part-time business at Laiqun Inn. As you know, this Laiqun Inn is located deep in the mountains and old forests. It only has a peak season once every ten years. Without other income, it really can't be sustained. Yesterday I received a big order."
The lady boss smiled and asked, "Just tell me whether you will accept it or not. Also, how good are you at swordplay? How good are you in the martial arts world?"
Hearing this, the swordsman roughly understood, and he said: "It can probably be considered first-rate."
The swordsman made a statement, "If it's a job that involves killing someone, I'll help you out, but I need to find out who and what kind of person it is."
The lady boss came over and patted the swordsman on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I have a way to make money. There is a big nest city nearby, and there is a local snake gang in the city."
"This gang has committed many crimes, including trafficking women and children, and performing mutilation."
……
at night.
The second in command, Guanbai, the cook, and Li Changxiao changed into night clothes and rushed to Dawo City overnight. The proprietress stayed behind to look after the store.
There will be blood tonight.
On the way, the second in command gave Li Changxiao, Guanbai, and the cook a few background updates.
According to his knowledge.
The Local Snake Gang has seven or eight dens. As its name suggests, it is a local snake-like force that has been entrenched for many years, and even the government is afraid of it.
Seven years ago, a new county magistrate came to Dawo City. Seeing that the people of Dawo City were suffering and the sky was covered with dark clouds, he vowed to clear out the evil and restore a bright and clear sky to Dawo City so as to live up to the sage books he had studied hard for many years.
However, just two months after taking office, his wife and children disappeared one after another. When they reappeared, their hands and feet had been chopped off, their eyes had been gouged out, their teeth had been broken, their tongues had been pulled out, their faces had been burned and branded, and they were left to beg in the vegetable market and the street.
When the county magistrate learned about this, his eyes turned black and he fainted. Less than half a month later, he fell seriously ill and died.
The most ironic thing is that his wife and children are still alive. When the local people learned about this...
Having said this, the second in command paused, and the Chancellor quickly asked.
The second in command then said that when local residents learned that the county magistrate's wife and children were still alive and had their hands and feet chopped off and were begging on the street, they went there every day to tease and trample on them. Beggars were common, but the family of this great magistrate was not.
Upon hearing this, the Kanpaku was furious. He thought it was simply unhuman that someone could do such a thing.
The chef, who had been taciturn all the time, spoke for a rare moment and said only one word, "Kill"!
Li Changxiao asked the second in command how much this order cost.
The second in command was silent for a moment, "The rich man offered a price of one thousand taels, but... I felt that these lives were not worth much, so I only took one hundred taels."
The regent, the cook, and the second in command all looked at the swordsman at the same time. If he turned around and left because the money was too little, they would not say anything.
Unexpectedly, the swordsman took a sip of wine and said casually, "It's still too expensive."
Hear the words.
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then they smiled.
Guan Bai smiled and asked, "Old Li, is your mortal martial arts really first-rate? You know, first-rate mortal martial arts are not bad at all, they can split rocks and break trees."
The swordsman patted his sword, smiled and said, "It's only stronger, not weaker."
……
Under the night.
Big nest city.
A few uninvited guests came today. After communicating the location of the Snake Gang's stronghold, the four of them dispersed and first eliminated the small strongholds, then the large strongholds, trying to leave no one behind.
The four of them were responsible for the four directions of east, west, south and north. Li Changxiao was in charge of the east. He was like a ghost, and even before Qingping was unsheathed, he already exuded a chilling aura.
He sneaked into an ordinary house.
A couple lived in the house. The girl loved expensive jewelry, and the boy was a gambler who had joined the Dishe Gang. He would knock out and tie up stray children or lone girls in the house.
After handing it over to the gang leader, they would get several taels of silver. It was late at night. The man and woman blew out the candles, had sex, and talked about the night. They were thinking about the girl from yesterday. She was pretty and they could sell her for a lot of silver, so they could live a carefree life for a while.
The woman punched the man and warned him that she wanted to buy jewelry with the money. If the girl hadn't been there for her, how could she have been cheated by such a rude man? The money should belong to her.
The man refused, and the two of them started arguing. As they were arguing, the woman was suddenly startled. She didn't know when a figure appeared in the room.
The swordsman looked calm as he walked towards the two men. He gently placed his hand on the woman's forehead, pressed her down on the bed, then slowly drew out his Qingping sword and beheaded her.
All in one go.
There is even a different kind of beauty.
The man was so scared that he peed his pants on the spot, but the swordsman looked calm and spit a puff of alcohol at him. The pungent smell of alcohol covered the bloody smell in the air. The swordsman did the same thing, pressed the stiff man's head on the bed, and then beheaded him.
It's over.
Compared to Li Changxiao's ease and comfort, Guanbai's approach was much simpler and more brutal. He sneaked into the stronghold based on the information, and after confirming that it was correct, he punched them one by one. After solving one stronghold, he would move on to the next one.
That night, lives were ruthlessly harvested.
After all the small strongholds based on households were eliminated, they went to the central stronghold.
There were still some martial arts masters in the Earth Snake Gang, but unfortunately they were still no match for Li Changxiao. He killed one by one with his sword at an extremely fast speed. Soon, not a single person was spared in the eastern stronghold, and nearly a hundred people died. Their wounds were all uniform, as if they had been beheaded.
He sheathed the Qingping sword and slowly walked towards the central stronghold.
......
After the Kanpaku eliminated the southern stronghold, he walked towards the central stronghold, getting closer and closer until it was only separated by a street.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Guan Bai's pupils shrank.
It’s Wang Jue.
How could he be here? Guan Bai was stunned. No matter how he looked at it, this matter had nothing to do with Wang Jue. Sensing that the visitor had bad intentions, he frowned deeply.
Wang Jue was thinly dressed and his body was like a furnace. He had not yet unsealed his spiritual body, but he hooked his finger at Guanbai, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Guan Bai's pupils shrank and his brows knitted tightly, "A mortal martial arts duel?"
