Chan Ho-nam lowered his head and replied, "Ho-nam has taken the liberty of coming here to ask the immortal to avenge the more than one thousand brothers and sisters of my Hung Gang who died tragically."
"On what grounds?"
Li Chang'an's tone turned somewhat unfriendly upon hearing Chen Haonan's words.
Hearing that he was a disciple of a deity, he came to make a wish.
Upon hearing this, Chan Ho-nam paused for a moment, realizing that his arrival had been somewhat abrupt.
“If the immortal is willing to avenge my brothers and sisters in the Hung Gang, I, Chan Ho-nam, am willing to be your lackey and do your bidding.”
"Heh~, I don't lack people. I can hire as many people as I want, as long as I want."
Upon hearing Li Chang'an's refusal, Chen Haonan fell silent.
Now, apart from a few hundred underlings and himself, the Hong Gang seems to have nothing else to offer that would allow others to help him.
Thinking of this, he felt disheartened, his body slumped down, and he felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
Master, I can no longer avenge you. May you rest in peace.
Li Chang'an picked up a teacup from the table, took a sip, and slowly said, "However, I've heard that you've offended Lord Yan Song, which makes me a little interested."
Upon hearing this, Chan Ho-nam suddenly looked up, his eyes lighting up.
Li Chang'an waved his hand, signaling Zhao Hu to bring him a chair: "Sit down and let's talk. Tell me why you offended Yan Song."
"There are two major gangs in the capital, the East Star and the Hung Gang. The East Star is backed by the scoundrel Yan Song, while our Hung Gang is backed by Lord Xu Jie."
Chan Ho-nam sat in a chair and slowly recounted the story of the Hung Gang.
"Six months ago, Lord Xu was framed and his entire family was executed. That scoundrel Yan Song sent people to make our gang leader join his ranks and become his lackeys."
"Chief Jiang refused to follow the example of the East Star Gang and commit evil deeds such as human trafficking and forcing women into prostitution."
"As a result, we offended Yan Song, who found a pretext for rebellion to arrest our gang leader and imprison him in the Heavenly Prison, where he eventually died tragically."
"Without Grandmaster Chiang, the Hung Gang was no match for Tung Sing. My master and several other hall masters were ambushed and killed outside the city by Cheung Yiu-yeung."
"The Hong Gang now consists of only me and a few hundred men. There is no hope of revenge on our own, so we have come to ask for your help, sir."
Li Chang'an listened to his words and closed his eyes to think.
Yan Song must die.
But you can't just rush in and kill people for no reason.
We need to find a reason.
He not only wanted to kill people, he also wanted to destroy their spirit.
As Li Chang'an was pondering, he saw Chen Da lead a group of thugs into the room.
"What's going on with these people?" Li Chang'an asked, looking at Shanji and the others.
“These people were hiding outside the mansion, whispering about a banquet and sending a few pairs of wreaths. I saw them when I came back and brought them in.”
Chen Da scratched his head: "But they said they were from the Hong Gang, so I brought them in. Let's see what you plan to do with them, sir."
Looking at Chicken and the others, Chan Ho-nam quickly explained, "These are my brothers. I told them to wait for me at the door."
Li Chang'an looked at the group of thugs with bruised and swollen faces, ignored them, and said to Chen Da, "You've come at the right time. Now help me think of a way to find an excuse to deal with Yan Song."
Upon hearing Li Chang'an's words, Chen Haonan asked, "Why don't we sneak around and kill him under the cover of night?"
Li Chang'an glanced at him: "If I wanted to kill someone, I wouldn't need to do it secretly. I want to find a legitimate excuse to uproot him and his men."
“What’s the point of killing him? If he dies, someone else will take his place. I want to use him to tell everyone that there are some things that cannot be done, and whoever does them will die.”
Upon hearing this, Chan Ho-nam began to ponder.
Luo Yang said, "Why don't we invite Yan Song over for dinner, then see which foot he stepped through the gates of the Marquis's mansion, and then use that as a reason to kill him?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an nodded: "As expected of a member of the Demonic Sect, this is a good idea. Don't think about it again."
Chen Da, carrying a knife, thought for a moment and said, "Sir, how about this? Since Lord Yan has committed so many evil deeds, why don't we find some people he has bullied, and then, under their banner, go and cause trouble for the Yan family?"
Looking at Chen Da, who was speaking, Li Chang'an couldn't help but think to himself: He truly deserves to be the person I chose. From now on, I'll leave those shady things to him.
"This method works, so now we need to find someone."
Chicken, who was hiding behind Chan Ho-nam, raised his hand tremblingly upon hearing this: "I have someone in mind."
Li Chang'an looked over and asked, "You have someone in mind? Who?"
When Shanji saw that everyone was looking at him, he felt a little nervous and stammered, "In the territory I used to be in charge of, there was a brothel called Yihong Courtyard. A few days ago, Yan Song's son, Yan Shifan, went there for a visit."
"He disliked those prostitutes for being unclean, and instead took a fancy to a young girl. He forced her to lose her virginity, and after it was over, he complained that the girl had scratched him, so he had his men take turns playing with her."
"The madam of the Yihong Courtyard couldn't stand it anymore and went to plead for her, but Yan Shifan beat her up and even ordered his men to demolish her Yihong Courtyard."
"While Yan Shifan's men were smashing things, the madam took the young maid and jumped off the building, escaping to our territory."
“They hide in a dry well every day and only dare to come out at night to pick up something to eat. I feel sorry for them, so I often bring them some leftovers.”
"What do you think of these two?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an's expression calmed down.
The Lamp of Hell, one more VIP.
"Okay, where are they? Bring them here."
He thought for a moment, then said to Luoyang, "You go with me and bring the person back to me."
Luo Yang felt a surge of anger upon hearing this.
In matters between men and women, it's all about mutual consent; there's no such thing as coercion.
She followed the pheasant outside and came to the vicinity of a dry well.
A disheveled woman was seen climbing out of the dry well, looking somewhat frightening in the moonlight.
The pheasant walked over and said, "Sister Pomegranate, Sister Pomegranate, is that you?"
The disheveled woman shuddered when she heard someone speaking and looked around.
Upon seeing the pheasant, he patted his chest and said, "That scared me to death! I thought we'd been discovered."
Sister Pomegranate looked at Luoyang behind Shanji and couldn't help but become wary, protecting Kujing behind her: "Shanji, who is she? Why did you bring people with you?"
"Hehe, Sister Pomegranate, don't be afraid. This is the person who came to save you. Our Hong Gang has found a new backer and is preparing to deal with Yan Song, so please come over with Dongxiang."
"He is prepared to uphold justice for you."
