Chapter 30: Another Dark and Windy Night for Murder

One month later.

He Xu, the magistrate of Daning County, died suddenly, and it was said that he died on a pleasure boat.

In order to cover up the news, the government did not publicize it. Chu Ning also learned about it from Zhao Bing.

Another month and a half later, Chu Ning received bad news.

The teacher has to go to the school in the provincial capital because of the transfer order issued from the provincial capital.

"If the situation is hopeless and the priority is to save oneself, then He Xu's sudden death should be Huang Zhongtai's backup plan. As for your teacher's visit to the capital to report for the position, I'm afraid it was the effort of your uncle Huang's competitor. This means that the other party has set his sights on Daning County and must be taking action."

"Now I just don't know what's worth targeting in Daning County."

"But since the other party chose to use his connections to make me leave Daning County, it means that even if he takes action, he will not be a strong general. Otherwise, there is no need to transfer me."

Before Liu Junshan went to the provincial capital, he made a special trip to Xiafeng Town and gave Chu Ning a detailed analysis.

Chu Ning knew in his heart that the other party must have known that Uncle Huang’s wife and children were in Xiafeng Town.

The Huang family's power is in Qingzhou Prefecture, so they still have to be cautious about Raozhou Prefecture. Uncle Huang knew this, so he dared to leave his wife and children in Daning County.

As for taking Uncle Huang's wife and children with him, Chu Ning thought about it and rejected the idea.

He didn't know to what extent Uncle Huang and his competitor were fighting, and it might not be as safe outside as Xiafeng Town.

…

…

Three Bamboo Gang.

"Brother, that person is here again, do you want to see him again?"

"not see."

Li Yunshu refused without even thinking about it.

He was afraid that he would not be able to help but agree when he met the other party.

The other party gave too much.

The last time I came, the gift was one thousand taels.

"Don't forget, second brother. We three brothers have already decided. What we need now is stability. Back then, you were bullied as a laborer. Although you joined the gang, you could only barely make ends meet and were beaten from time to time. I am just a fishmonger. We three brothers are already content to have come this far."

Li Yunshu said earnestly: "There is no easy money in this world. The more money the other party gives, the bigger their plan is. What else can we, the gang members, gain from them? Isn't it just working as thugs for them?"

"We have enough money now. We should train the next generation well and send them to school. Our ancestors will bless them with martial arts talents and make them into captains of police in the future. Or if our ancestors' graves give birth to military commanders, it will be a complete turn of events."

The two deputy gang leaders also nodded repeatedly, thinking that what the eldest brother said made sense.

"In the past two years, the gangs in Daning County have been in turmoil. Many gangs have disappeared inexplicably, but our Sanzhu Gang has remained intact. What is the reason? Isn't it because we are stable?"

"Brother, what you said is absolutely right."

The two deputy gang leaders were convinced and stopped trying to persuade him.

…

…

The Blood Knife Hall headquarters in Daning County.

What was strange at this moment was that in addition to the elite disciples of the Blood Knife Hall, the elite disciples of the Flying Tiger Sect were also there. The two groups stood in the yard staring at each other, glancing at the lobby in front from time to time.

There were six figures sitting in the lobby.

There is the leader and deputy leader of the Flying Tiger Sect, the leader and deputy leader of the Blood Knife Hall, in addition there is an old man and another middle-aged man.

"Everyone, here is 10,000 taels. After the matter is completed, another 10,000 taels will be presented. And I guarantee that by then, only your two gangs will be left in the entire Daning County."

There was a mad look on the face of Wu Qiang, the leader of the Flying Tiger Sect. He had long been dissatisfied with the Sanzhu Gang and had been secretly encroaching on the Sanzhu Gang's territory over the years. Unfortunately, the death of the deputy gang leader last year forced him to put this idea aside temporarily.

Now with this old man's words, Li Yunshu and others from the Sanzhu Gang are like meat on the chopping board, to be manipulated at will.

Blood Knife Hall leader Wang Qinghua and Wu Qiang looked at each other. They both saw ambition in each other's eyes. They both wanted to get rid of the Sanzhu Gang, and now was a perfect opportunity.

They also knew something about the big shot behind the old man. In his eyes, the gangs in Daning County were nothing. In the past, he would not even look at them. But now was a great opportunity to curry favor with this big shot.

"Okay, we at Feihumen will take over this matter."

"We, the Blood Blade Hall, are also willing to serve Master Huang."

A smile appeared on the old man's face. Although the Sanzhu Gang did not agree, with the joining of Feihu Sect and Xuedao Hall, it would not be difficult to kill a constable in Xiafeng Town.

Huang Zhongtai thought he was smart and had hidden his wife and children very well, but he didn't know that they had already been discovered by the young master.

Others don't know why Huang Zhongtai's strength has improved so rapidly, but his own master knows that Huang Zhongtai has practiced an evil skill, and the price is that he will never be able to give birth to a child again.

As long as the mother and son were eliminated, Huang Zhongtai would not be able to take the position of the head of the Huang family. The position of the head of the Huang family would never be given to a person without descendants.

Having no descendants means having no worries and being out of control, which the Huang family elders will not allow.

Huang Zhongtai was still complacent, thinking that he could rest easy as long as he had tied down the young master's men. However, he didn't know that there is a thing in this world called killing with a borrowed knife.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"The two gang leaders should gather their troops in the next few days, and march towards Xiafeng Town at night three days later."

…

…

As the March deadline was getting closer, Chu Ning no longer went to the mountains to practice the Monkey Step, and he even didn't stay in the police station. Instead, he began to patrol secretly with the yard where Uncle Huang's wife and children lived as the center.

"Brother Chu, these are the dumplings my mother made. I brought them to you to try."

During dinner, the tightly closed gate of the courtyard opened and a boy in his teens walked out with a bowl of dumplings in his hand.

"Thank you, Xiaoxuan. Come in quickly."

Chu Ning rubbed the little boy's head, but the little boy said innocently: "Brother Chu, my mother...my mother said that if there are any bad guys, let me follow Brother Chu and ignore her. Mother said that I can't drag Brother Chu down."

"Don't worry, with Brother Chu here, you and your mother will be fine."

After patting the little boy on the shoulder and saying a few words of comfort, Chu Ning smiled and watched the little boy go into the yard. His face suddenly darkened.

Uncle Huang's wife is no pushover either. I'm afraid she also sensed the danger and deliberately conveyed this message to me through Xiaoxuan.

Don’t want to burden yourself?

Why not let Xiaoxuan say it instead of him saying it in person? Isn't it because it makes me feel that it is more sincere when heard from a child?

If I were really a native and had received kindness from Uncle Huang, I would be extremely moved to hear these words and would protect the mother and child at all costs.

Unfortunately, I am not.

Chu Ning had his own plan in mind.

If it is really impossible, take Xiaoxuan away. If even Xiaoxuan can't be taken away, then escape by yourself, and then take the old aunt away from Raozhou Prefecture and live in seclusion in other counties.

That night.

It was a dark and windy night.

The darkness fell, and Xiafeng Town was shrouded in darkness; even the night watchmen's calls stopped.

The reason is that Lord Chu is a light sleeper at night, and the sound of night watchmen and gongs can easily wake him up.

When the townspeople heard this, they were furious. Disturbing Lord Chu's rest would mean making things difficult for the entire town.

The night watchman Lao Luo was almost on the verge of committing suicide because of what the townspeople said. In anger, he smashed the gong.
