Dongzhimen, in front of the market.
The white tiger's head was hanging high on a bamboo pole.
The bamboo pole, over ten meters long, stands in the most conspicuous place.
Thousands of people gathered around, looking up and whispering amongst themselves.
The Imperial Guards had grim faces and clenched their teeth as they looked up at Bai Hu's severed head.
No one dared to knock down the bamboo pole, nor did anyone dare to fly up and take the white tiger's head.
The murder scene must not be disturbed unless the Azure Dragon Commander arrives.
Xuanwu stood with his hands behind his back, and all the Imperial Guards present were filled with righteous indignation or anger, wishing they could kill Lin Bufan.
Only Xuanwu, with a clear mind, knew everything and sneered inwardly.
A moment later, Qinglong led a group of his men over in a long stride.
He walked while looking up at the sky.
Hanging from a bamboo pole is the head of one's sworn brother; it's a sight that would be hard for anyone to accept, a source of deep sorrow.
Qinglong grew angrier the more he looked, his fists cracking. "Second brother, go without worry, your elder brother will definitely avenge you."
He turned around angrily and asked Xuanwu, "What happened? Tell me."
Xuanwu tried his best to look sad and heartbroken, but when he wiped his eyes, no tears actually came out.
"Lin Bufan killed my second brother. He hadn't insulted me enough, so when my second brother stood up for me, he killed my second brother."
"Lin Bufan insulted you?"
Qinglong wondered if this was the root of the problem. "How did he insult you?"
"this……"
Xuanwu hesitated, his face gloomy, clearly reluctant to speak and embarrassed to bring up the embarrassing incident.
A member of the Imperial Guards next to him explained, "Lord Xuanwu was eating at a noodle shop when Lin Bufan passed by. Without saying a word, he beat Lord Xuanwu up and stuffed three copper coins into his mouth."
"He fed you coins?"
Qinglong looked surprised, his gossip-loving heart burning brightly, and asked curiously, "Did you poop it out? I mean... the copper coin."
"Uh... two pieces came out, but one piece hasn't come out yet."
Xuanwu was extremely embarrassed and wished he could disappear into the ground and quickly turn the page.
“It doesn’t matter if I’m insulted, the important thing is that I’m the eldest brother’s man. If he feeds me a copper coin, it’s the same as feeding the eldest brother a copper coin, feeding the entire Embroidered Uniform Guard a copper coin. I couldn’t stand it, so I went to the second brother. The second brother said he would stand up for me, but who knew…”
At this point, Xuanwu lowered his head, continuing to portray a sorrowful expression.
"I saw my second brother again here. His body was gone, and only his head was hanging on a bamboo pole."
"This is absolutely outrageous!"
Qinglong was furious. "That arrogant Lin Bufan killed my third brother in Fuzhou, and now he dares to feed you copper coins in the capital. He killed my second brother, where is he now?"
Xuanwu said, "Breaking news: he went to the Divine Marquis's Mansion, and Leng Lingqi has already gone to find him."
As they spoke, a path opened up in the crowd, and more investigators came over.
Gui Haiyi, along with Ji Yaohua and Butterfly, several female constables from the Six Doors.
The people from the Eastern Depot and the Western Depot were delayed in receiving the information and couldn't get there in time.
Qinglong glanced at Ji Yaohua, still angry, and gave her a cold look: "Does the Six Doors have no men? Sending women to handle cases."
Ji Yaohua was not to be outdone and retorted: "Are the men of the Embroidered Uniform Guard really that powerful? One was killed in Fuzhou, another was fed copper coins, and yet another was beheaded and his head was hung on a bamboo pole. Of the four commanders, who knows what fate awaits Lord Qinglong?"
"you……"
The veins on Qinglong's forehead bulged, and he wished he could strangle Ji Yaohua.
"How dare you, a mere constable, disobey this commander?"
“I work for the Six Doors, and I have the God of Arrest and the Emperor above me. I’m not under your jurisdiction, so why should I give you attitude?”
"Sharp tongue, fine, I'll teach you a lesson today on behalf of Liu the Constable."
Qinglong was about to teach Ji Yaohua a lesson when Guihai Yidao coldly said from the side, "Calm down, Lord Qinglong. We came here to help you catch the murderer, and you turn around and turn against us?"
"Hmph." Azure Dragon angrily flung his sleeves, ignoring the two, and ordered his men to quickly put down the White Tiger's head.
What's the point of leaving it hanging there all this time? It'll just become a laughing stock for the neighbors and give them something to talk about over tea.
No sooner had the white tiger's head been removed than the people from the Divine Marquis's Mansion finally arrived.
Zhuge Zhengwo walked in front, followed closely by Leng Lingqi, Tieshou, Zhuiming, and Wuqing.
Following them are Lin Bufan, Xiaolongnu, Zhou Zhiruo, and Zhao Min.
"The great demon Lin is here!" a member of the Imperial Guard exclaimed.
All the Imperial Guards were on high alert, and they quickly put their hands on their waists, touching their embroidered spring knives, ready to draw them at any moment in an emergency.
They didn't want to experience being fed coins or having their heads chopped off; the more careful they were, the better.
"Murderer, great demon, he dared to come here after killing Lord White Tiger."
"They are utterly arrogant and disrespectful, to the extreme."
"I hope Lord Qinglong can kill him with one stroke so we can get a good night's sleep."
The Imperial Guards were trembling with fear, whispering amongst themselves and criticizing Lin Bufan.
When Lin Bufan arrived, he caught sight of Baihu's bloodied head and almost laughed out of anger.
"That's it? Such a crude method of murder. You suspect I killed him?"
"You dare say it wasn't you?"
Xuanwu immediately stepped forward, angrily saying, "You forced me to eat three copper coins, humiliated me, and killed my second brother, Lin Bufan. Your infamy is notorious, and everyone has the right to kill you."
After saying that, he waved his hand and shouted, "Men, seize him!"
At this moment, hundreds of Imperial Guards had gathered around, all dressed in flying fish robes.
Azure Dragon, Ji Yaohua of the Six Doors, and Butterfly are here, as is Guihai Yidao, representing the Dragon Guard Manor.
With the Divine Marquis's Mansion and its large entourage, right under the nose of the capital, I don't believe Lin Bufan can turn the world upside down.
