Chapter 29: A Hundred Evil Thieves in Jiangnan



When we returned to Fu'an Hutong, there were not many people left here. Thanks to Li Kuiran's beard, all the people who loved to watch the fun were scared away.

Only Taoist priests, monks and a few constables were still preparing a similar ceremony outside Fu'an Hutong.

Seeing Qin Yuesheng appear, the Qin family guards immediately came forward to greet him.

"Master, you are finally back. I hope you are not hurt."

Qin Yuesheng shook his head: "It didn't matter to me, but that guy got away."

"Some constables have already chased after them, but they haven't returned yet."

Qin Yuesheng laughed inwardly. He and Li Kuiran were so fast that they disappeared without a trace in a few seconds. How could they be caught up by those constables who were not even in the outer forging realm?

"Master Qin, I've noticed that your martial arts skills have improved over the past few days. I was dazzled by your speed just now. I couldn't even see your back, let alone your body."

Lu Juncheng hurriedly got out of the car and gave Qin Yuesheng the most sincere flattery.

"It's just a small matter, no need to make it public." Qin Yuesheng waved his hand.

Since the place had become deserted, the two of them naturally did not need to stay in the carriage to watch the fun. They went straight to Fu'an Hutong under the protection of a group of guards.

As they got closer, Qin Yuesheng was able to see clearly this famous alley in Qingyang City that was said to be magical.

This was his first time seeing Fu'an Hutong. He noticed that the entrance to the hutong was a bit narrow, and it took a while for the interior to gradually widen. The structure was quite strange.

Even though the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly, as soon as Qin Yuesheng stood outside Fu'an Hutong, he felt a chill in his face and his body felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Three Taoists and two monks were setting up their own altars and performing rituals outside Fu'an Hutong, with the Taoists on the left and the Buddhists on the right. They did not interfere with each other and did not stand next to each other.

Several constables stood by to guard against any disturbance.

Among these constables, one particularly caught Qin Yuesheng's attention.

This man was eight feet tall, with a dignified appearance and extraordinary bearing. Even though he was wearing an ordinary constable's uniform, it could not conceal his extraordinary temperament.

Although Qin Yuesheng didn't know much about physiognomy and people-reading, he could clearly feel the peculiarity of this person.

Damn, it's too conspicuous.

Even if he were thrown into a vast crowd, he would definitely be the one that would be noticed by others at first sight.

"Hiss, this guy's temperament is too strong. How come I, the young master of the Qin family, can't match his temperament?" Qin Yuesheng couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

"Shen Lang." Lu Juncheng didn't care about anything else and shouted directly to the constable.

Immediately, the constable who had been staring at Qin Yuesheng turned his head, and when he saw that it was Lu Juncheng, he immediately strode towards him.

"Brother Lu, how come you have time to come here today?" Shen Lang said with a smile.

"I heard something was happening in Fu'an Hutong again, so I came here to see what was going on. Who would have thought I'd run into a notorious bandit?"

Lu Juncheng extended his hand: "Let me introduce you, this is the future head of the Qin family, Qin Yuesheng, the eldest son of the Qin family."

Shen Lang looked at Qin Yuesheng and said with a bow, "Young Master Qin."

"Don't be so polite, you two seem to know each other well."

Lu Juncheng patted Shen Lang on the shoulder and said, "He is my childhood friend, a few years older than me. If his family hadn't fallen on hard times, he wouldn't have ended up running around in the government office like a constable.

"I'm telling you, Young Master Qin, my childhood friend is incredible. He's been incredibly talented in martial arts since he was little. By the age of twelve, he could already knock down three or four adults. He's even brave enough to capture a tiger and slay a python. If he can stay in the government for a few more years, he'll definitely be able to become a chief constable."

"You are so capable that you should join the army, make achievements and become a general in the future. What's the point of being a chief constable? You can only guard Qingyang City and take care of trivial matters." Qin Yuesheng smiled speechlessly.

Just as he was waving his head, Qin Yuesheng's eyes accidentally swept across a place not far away, where a figure seemed to be half exposed.

But when Qin Yuesheng looked over, there was nothing there.

"Shen Lang, every time something happens in your government office, you look for monks and Taoist priests. Is it any use? My brother got into trouble not long ago, how come he is embarrassed again?" Lu Juncheng asked.

Shen Lang smiled and said, "This is all the will of the higher-ups. Regardless of whether it works or not, at least when the people see someone coming to do something, they'll feel more at ease, right?"

Qin Yuesheng looked at the two altars outside Fu'an Hutong. There was a Taoist temple and a Buddhist temple near Qingyang City.

The Taoist temple is the Xiqishan Temple where Taoist Qingfeng lives, located south of Qingyang City.

The Buddhist temple is Hanshan Temple, located west of Qingyang City.

Generally speaking, when the people in Qingyang City need to do something, they will ask the Taoist priests or monks from these two places to help.

On this side, the Taoist priest's peach wood sword pierced through the talisman and burned with fire, and on the other side, the monk rang the bell and chanted scriptures, and the wooden fish flew up. The two sides were like facing each other, and the formations were quite powerful, but there was no special reaction in Fu'an Hutong.

After watching for a while, the novelty of watching the excitement had long passed. Qin Yuesheng suddenly felt bored and planned to leave.

Lu Juncheng had something to discuss with Shen Lang, so he stayed behind, and lent his carriage to Qin Yuesheng. After all, Qin Yuesheng's carriage had been stepped on by Li Kuiran and could no longer carry anyone.

As soon as he returned to the Qin Mansion, Cao Zhengchun was already waiting for Qin Yuesheng outside the gate.

"Master, I have already taken care of the burial of the bodies in Baihe Village. Everyone's bodies will be buried outside the city at Qingyang Hill, a place of beautiful scenery and Feng Shui."
