The name "Jiang Family" resounded like a thunderclap.
Everyone stood frozen in place.
Even if they had a hundred times the courage, they wouldn't dare to go against the Jiang family.
In Nanzhou, the Jiang family is the most powerful.
Slogans like "a life for a life" simply don't apply to them.
Several martial arts alliance warriors guarding the city gate also stopped in their tracks.
"Old Cat, go back and report!"
The leader whispered some instructions, and the man named Old Cat rode away at breakneck speed.
Seeing that no one was moving at the city gate, Jiang Yuanyin and his party began to enter the city.
......
"Quickly, get a carriage ready and send Manager Li's body back!"
After the Jiang family left, everyone hurriedly collected the merchant's body.
......
Twenty miles from the North Gate, a shop with a sign that read "Li Family Trading Company" was filled with the sound of coughing.
Inside the hall sat a pale-faced young man, and the coughing sound came from his mouth.
"Hua'er, it's time for your medicine!"
Just then, a middle-aged woman came from the backyard carrying a bowl of medicine.
"Mom, go and rest. I can do it myself!"
Li Hua took the bowl and drank the medicine in one gulp.
"Once your father brings back the lung-clearing fruit, and you've recovered, your mother will go to Old Liu's house to propose marriage!"
"Mother, what you think about me and Miss Liu is not what you believe..."
"Brother Li, I've made some fritillaria and snow pear soup, please try it!"
Just then, a woman wearing a long blue cloth dress walked in from outside.
"My sister is here!"
A middle-aged woman carried a stool forward, and the young woman quickly reached out to take it, saying, "Auntie, you go about your business, don't worry about me!"
"Ah Hua, you keep Ah Mei company and talk to her. I'm going to the backyard to do the laundry!"
After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she walked towards the backyard.
Inside the shop, Li Hua lowered his head and savored the pear soup, while Liu Amei gazed at him intently.
......
After an unknown amount of time, a carriage stopped.
A middle-aged man walked into the shop.
"Ahua, is your mother home?"
"Uncle Geng, my mother is in the backyard, I'll go call her!"
"OK!"
Lin Gen glanced at Li Hua but didn't speak to him directly.
Old Li knew that his son was in poor health.
He couldn't talk about his father's death in front of Li Hua.
When the middle-aged woman came out, Lin Geng pulled her aside.
Seeing the two acting mysteriously, Li Hua followed them.
......
"Sister-in-law, Old Li is dead!"
After Lin Geng finished speaking, the middle-aged woman stood there stunned.
"The thing is..."
The woman, distraught, came to the carriage.
Lifting the blood-stained burlap sack, Li Lei's body lay there quietly.
His eyes were wide open, and a forced smile still lingered on his face.
The woman covered her mouth, trying her best to hold back her tears.
That's the Jiang family!
We can't afford to mess with them.
No one in the entire Southern Prefecture can afford to offend them.
With red eyes, she reminded herself again and again.
"Father...cough cough cough!"
Just then, a violent coughing sound came.
"Hua'er, what brings you here!"
"Cough cough cough cough!"
"Mother...Father, cough cough cough..."
Amidst a violent coughing fit, Li Hua collapsed backward.
"Medicine, sister-in-law, hurry and get the medicine!"
Lin Geng reacted quickly, supporting Li Hua and pressing down on his philtrum.
The middle-aged woman rushed to the backyard in a panic.
When she came out again, she only saw Lin Geng looking helpless.
"Hua'er, my son!"
The woman's wails echoed through the streets.
A moment later, the woman got up.
Old Li is dead, Hua'er is dead, and our home is gone!
"sister in law..."
"Lin Geng, we entrust our family's funeral arrangements to you!"
After saying this, the woman mounted her horse and charged towards the Zhenwu Division's yamen.
They all say that Leader Li is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
They all say that Lord Yan is selfless and impartial.
They all say that no one in Tianguang County dares to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
This was her only hope.
Even if it means death, she will seek revenge!
......
"There's no way around it now, I can't even slack off!"
Yan Mingshu glanced at Xiaobai lying to the side, then sat up from his wheelchair.
He tried to circulate his internal energy, and although there was a slight obstruction in the flow of true energy, it was generally progressing in a positive direction.
It seems the injury to my dantian has truly healed.
Just then, footsteps came from the attic.
Wu Qifan went upstairs with a solemn expression.
"Lord Yan, something has happened at the North Gate!"
“A merchant made some remarks about the Jiang family when he entered the city, and coincidentally someone from the Jiang family came to Tianguang County.”
"That merchant was killed on the spot by the Jiang family's martial artists!"
Upon hearing Wu Qifan's words, Yan Mingshu's smile vanished instantly.
The Jiang family is as arrogant as ever!
They came, unsurprisingly, to deliver spirit fruits.
Logically speaking, one should keep a low profile after making an apology.
Once you arrive in Tianguang County, deliver the spirit fruit and leave.
Now they're killing people just because of a couple of sarcastic remarks. It seems they're still not convinced!
"Lord Wu, you are ill. I will take charge of the affairs of the Tianguang County Garrison Command!"
"Lord Yan, I'm not sick!"
"Besides, you've always been the one in charge of the Tianguang County Garrison!"
Wu Qifan looked at Yan Mingshu with a puzzled expression.
"Lord Wu, I'm going to bring the murderer to justice. Are you sure you're not insane?"
After Yan Mingshu finished speaking, Wu Qifan was still completely confused.
"Lord Yan, bring the murderer to justice. I am indeed not sick!"
"Fine, fine, then you can just stick with me to the bitter end!"
Seeing that Wu Qifan didn't understand, Yan Mingshu didn't continue to explain.
It might not be a bad thing to let Wu Qifan share the Jiang family's anger with him.
......
"Have Li Fan and Yan Mingshu come out to greet them and tell them that the Jiang family has arrived!"
Jiang Yuanyin rode forward on horseback in front of the Zhenwu Division's office.
