The immortal sect is lofty, but the dynasty is collapsing. The court is treacherous, and the martial world is perilous. In these troubled times, human lives are no more valuable than grass.
C...
"It's definitely more than three cups, I think it's thirty!"
"Thirty cups? You're underestimating Chen Shouyu too much. After all, his mother died. He should at least punish himself with three hundred cups!"
As time went on, the topic of discussion began to deviate.
For the onlookers, whether Chen Shouyu's mother had died was completely unimportant.
After an unknown amount of time, someone finally came out of the county government office.
The visitor was none other than Tan Tian, the chief constable of Hejian County.
He looked at Chen Shouyu and said with a wry smile, "Shouyu, why make such a fuss?"
The matter at Hejian Wharf is completely beyond the jurisdiction of Hejian County.
Behind Chen Shouyu stood Chen Xinchen, a top-tier expert.
Behind Weihu Hall, there is also the support of the third young master of the Chang family.
What can Hejian County do?
"Chief Constable Tan, I have a question for you."
"My mother and Brother No. 321 of the Knights' Hall, have they ever caused trouble in this area?"
Chen Shouyu looked at Tan Tian.
"Never!"
Tan Tian shook his head.
"If that's the case, do they deserve to die?"
Chen Shouyu continued to ask.
"No!"
Tan Tian replied.
"Now they are dead, they died mysteriously at the river dock."
I'm here simply to seek justice for them.
Chen Shouyu stepped forward and said firmly, "I understand that the county government is short-handed and cannot send out constables to apprehend the murderer."
I don't need the county government to send any personnel; what I need the county government to do is issue an arrest warrant.
Leave the task of apprehending the murderer to me.
This is tricky!
Tan Tian frowned. Although he was mentally prepared, he did not expect Chen Shouyu to be so determined.
He really couldn't send out the arrest warrant.
After all, let alone the third young master of the Chang family, he couldn't afford to offend even the Weihu Hall.
Tan Tian remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Master Chen, the murder case at the Hejian Wharf is still under investigation."
The arrest warrant cannot be issued until the investigation is completed!
"Then I'll wait here!"
Chen Shouyu looked at Tan Tian and stopped moving forward.
"Master Chen, is it really going to come to this?"
Tan Tian looked at Chen Shouyu with a complicated expression.
As long as Chen Shouyu stays here, news of his appeal to the emperor through drumming will spread quickly.
At that time, important figures will surely come down from the state and county.
Regardless of the final outcome, the entire Hejian County government will certainly be implicated.
In the future, let alone a promotion, it's hard to say whether he can even keep his current position.
But he simply couldn't do anything about Chen Shouyu.
In terms of martial prowess, let alone the powerful figures behind Chen Shouyu, even Chen Shouyu himself wouldn't dare say he could win for sure.
"Chief Constable Tan, I don't want to make things difficult for you!"
Please relay what I said to Lord Zou verbatim.
If you can't handle it, then wait for the higher-ups to handle it.
I will seek justice for my mother and my brothers in the Knights of the Three Kingdoms myself!
......
"You bastard!"
Who does he think he is?
He wondered where he was!
They want to get justice? They're just asking for trouble.
"That ungrateful scoundrel, he doesn't want to live anymore and he's dragging me down with him!"
Deep inside the county government office, Zou Tiansheng was furious.
Now that things have escalated to this point, no matter the reason, he can't extricate himself from the situation.
If he displeases any important figure, he will suffer greatly, even if he doesn't die.
"Sir, should we send someone to deliver the message now?"
Tan Tian stepped forward and asked.
"Deliver a message? Deliver my ass!"
Zou Tiansheng said with a gloomy expression, "Didn't he want an arrest warrant? Give him one!"
The targets of the arrest were to be Yang Biao, the third leader of the Tiger Guard, and his henchmen.
"Sir, now that we've issued an arrest warrant, will the Tiger Guard cause us trouble?"
Tan Tian looked wary.
"Looking for trouble? They'll only do that if the Tiger Guard can survive this ordeal!"
A cold glint flashed in Zou Tiansheng's eyes.
To be honest, there was an element of gambling in his decision.
He was betting that the higher-ups would make Weihutang a scapegoat.
If you win the bet, you can naturally pass the test safely.
If I lose the bet, all that's left is for Weihu Hall to cause trouble. At worst, I can just retire and go far away from Yuzhou. Anyway, I've made enough money over the years.
In short, there's only one principle: don't fall into an abyss.
It's better to gamble this time than to drag those big shots from the prefecture and county to Hejian County.
......
"That's it?"
"What else did you think?"
"I thought that Chen Shouyu, the swift swordsman from Hejian, would draw his three-foot-long sword and massacre the county government."
"Look, Chief Constable Tan is out again!"
As the crowd prepared to leave, Tan Tian emerged from the county government office once again.
This time, he had an extra piece of paper in his hand.
The ink on the paper was still wet.
This was the arrest warrant hastily produced by the county government.
"Master Chen, this is the arrest warrant. Are you satisfied?"
"Um!"
Chen Shouyu took the arrest warrant and left without lingering.
This scene reignited the discussion among the audience who were about to leave.
"An arrest warrant actually came out!"
"Is Zou Bapi that tough? Isn't he afraid that group will come and massacre the county government?"
"Could it be that we misunderstood Zhou Bapi before?!"
"Brother Li, that county magistrate isn't as bad as you say!"
Wang Kai looked at Li Hua.
"Don't speak, just go!"
Li Hua's expression changed drastically. He pulled Wang Kai out of the crowd and ran towards the distance.
......
Once Chen Shouyu's figure disappeared from sight, Tan Tian's face darkened: "Arrest all these unruly people!"
The surrounding constables were stunned for a moment, then rushed out like tigers descending from the mountain.
If they can't deal with Chen Shouyu, surely they can deal with these troublemakers?
When they rushed over, the onlookers panicked instantly.
What are you doing!
"They're hitting someone!"
My uncle is...
The scene was chaotic.
The onlookers were quickly apprehended.
"No matter who pleads for their release, without the magistrate's or my orders, they are not to be released!"
After giving the final instructions, Tan Tian turned and returned to the county government office.
Whether it was a plea for justice by beating a drum or an arrest warrant, Hejian County had to report it to higher authorities.
The purpose of arresting these people is to keep this information under wraps for longer.
At least, we'll have to wait until the murder case at the Hejian Wharf is solved.
Giving those adults a dignified living is giving yourself a way to survive.
This was the only thing Tan Tian could do.
......
That evening, the group arrived in Tianyu City.
The person in the lead was none other than Chang'an.
After returning to Tianyu City, he did not go back to his sect, but instead stayed in the most luxurious brothel in Tianyu City.
"Big brother, is this really a good idea?"
At the dinner table, Zhao Yun, the second-in-command of the Weihu Hall, asked in a low voice.
Good my ass!
Zhang Long, the leader of the Weihu Hall, wanted to curse out loud.
All the trouble was caused by this third young master of the Chang family.
Their Weihu Hall was incredibly unlucky.
During his escape, Zhang Long also figured out the cause and effect.
He only then learned the identity of the martial artist he had offended.
Chen Xinchen, the One Qi Sword Master, is a formidable figure who has reached the tenth rank of Dharma Manifestation and has only fought once before against the Demon Blade Dragon Daoji.
This kind of person could wipe out the Tiger Guard with a single breath.
"Should we contact Master Hua?"
Seeing that Zhang Long did not reply, Zhao Yun continued to ask.
