“Sir, as long as you can avenge my son, I am willing to give all the Shen family’s property to Dongcheng Division! I just want those people to die!”
Shen Yizhi knelt in front of Su Mu, tears streaming down his face.
Su Mu was carefully reviewing the files of recent robberies of goods from merchants and travelers in Dongchengsi, and Shen Yizhi asked to see him.
As soon as he came in, he knelt down in front of Su Mu and started crying with snot and tears.
He is in his forties, but he cried like a child.
“Get up and talk, or you can get out now.”
Su Mu was not used to this and frowned.
“It is the duty of the East City Division to arrest criminals and eliminate bandits. I will do it without you telling me.
Dongchengsi will not treat you differently just because your son died.”
These days, Su Mu’s majesty has been growing. When he became so serious, Shen Yizi stopped crying.
He stood up and wiped his tears silently.
“Sir, I know where those thieves are hiding!”
Shen Yizi suddenly said.
“Huh? You know what?”
Su Mu shifted his gaze from the file and looked at Shen Yizi, puzzled.
He had sent Zheng Wang and others to investigate the matter, but found nothing.
Even Chen Song, the chief constable of Dongcheng Division, was trapped, which shows how powerful that gang of gangsters is.
So far, Su Mu has not seen any clues in the files of Dongcheng Division.
But think about it, Shen Yizi is the local boss of Dongcheng District, so it is understandable that he has his own methods.
These local tyrants may not be very strong, but if you underestimate them, you never know when they will give you a surprise.
“Sir, you know that businessmen like us inevitably have to deal with all kinds of people. After my son got into trouble this time, I mobilized all my connections to track down those people. In the end, I bought some information from the Golden Wind Tower!”
Shen Yizhi said in a deep voice.
Although he didn’t say it explicitly, it’s conceivable that he spent a lot of money on this.
Shen Yizhi was almost going crazy after his eldest son, whom he had painstakingly raised, was killed. Not to mention spending some money, he would definitely take revenge even if it meant giving up all his family fortune.
“Golden Wind Tower?”
Su Mu had a thoughtful look on his face.
He had heard of the name of Jinfeng Tower, but had never dealt with it.
Jinfeng Tower is not a force unique to Wuling City; it is spread throughout Daxuan, and its presence can be found in almost every important city.
It can be said to be the largest underground organization in the Daxuan Dynasty, specializing in selling information and some dirty work of killing people. It is a killer organization.
Unlike ghostwriters, the killers of Jinfeng Tower have no bottom line. As long as they are paid enough, they will kill anyone.
Although ghostwriters are paid for their work, they still have some conscience and will not take any job.
Of course, the killers of Jinfeng Tower are much better than ghostwriters and earn much more.
If you want to become a killer for Jinfenglou, the threshold is much higher than being a ghostwriter.
Su Mu once heard that Jinfeng Tower even had a successful case of assassinating a martial artist in the Transcendence Realm.
However, Su Mu’s biggest impression of Jinfeng Tower was that it was expensive.
If you want to ask Jinfenglou for help, you must have money, and ordinary money won’t work.
If you deal with them once, you may not even make a splash after spending thousands of taels of silver.
Although Shen Yizhi is one of the richest businessmen in Dongcheng District, it is conceivable that he must have suffered a heavy loss this time.
“Where are the thieves hiding?”
Su Mu said in a deep voice.
When Su Mu heard that Shen Yizhi’s news came from Jinfeng Tower, he no longer had any doubts.
Although Jinfeng Tower is expensive, it is worth it. Their information is generally not wrong.
The signboard of Jinfeng Tower is still very famous in the Daxuan Dynasty.
“It’s in a valley in the eastern suburbs. There are a total of forty of them, two of whom are at the fourth level of Body Tempering, ten at the third level of Body Tempering, and the rest are at the second level of Body Tempering.”
Shen Yizhi said, “They all have masks on their faces, so their identities are currently unknown.”
When he said this, hatred showed on Shen Yizi’s face.
It’s not that Jinfenglou can’t find out the identities of those thieves, but that Shen Yizi can’t afford to pay.
The money he had could only buy him so much information.
If you want to know more, you have to pay more.
Of course, if he added enough money, Jinfenglou could also help him kill all those thieves.
However, even if the Shen family went bankrupt, they could not afford to hire Jinfeng Tower to kill forty people.
According to current news, Shen Yizheng has already spent all the money in the Shen family. Unless he sells off his property, he will not be able to come up with more money.
The Shen family is one of the richest families in Dongcheng District. Just by buying a piece of information, they were almost emptied of their money. This shows how profitable Jinfeng Tower is.
But he does have this ability.
Things that even the detectives from the Dongcheng Division couldn’t find out were easily found out by them.
“Sir, if the East City Division wants to send troops, my Shen family still has 20 to 30 martial arts masters to protect the courtyard. I am willing to hand them all over to you, sir!”
Shen Yizi said seriously.
If Su Mu did not avenge him, he would sell all the Shen family’s property and then ask Jinfeng Tower to take action.
His son, the eldest son whom he had carefully nurtured for more than 20 years, was the only child of him and his first wife!
“Tell the guards to go to the East City Division and wait for orders. Also, tell me in detail where the thieves are hiding.”
Su Mu thought about it.
Among the forty people, only two have reached the fourth stage of Body Tempering. With such strength, do they dare to go wild on the territory of Dongcheng Division?
Shen Yizhi handed the map he had prepared long ago to Su Mu.
“Sir, as long as you can avenge me, from now on, my life, Shen Yizhi, will be yours. I will do whatever you ask me to do—”
Shen Yizhi said.
“What do I want your life for?”
Su Mu said calmly, “I know about this matter, you go home and wait for news.”
“grown ups–“
Shen Yizi wanted to say something else.
“I said, go home and wait for news.”
Su Mu said in a deep voice, intimidating without even getting angry.
“Yes.”
Shen Yizi sighed in his heart and walked out helplessly. He was hunched over and his back looked extremely old and pitiful.
Shen Yizhi knew that apart from Su Mu, there was only Chen Song, who was at the fourth level of Body Tempering, in the East City Division, and his whereabouts were still unknown.
The remaining constables were basically at the first or second level of Body Tempering, which was a huge difference from the thieves.
It was understandable that Su Mu hesitated. No matter how strong he was, it was impossible for him to defeat forty masters with a group of rabble.
Let him go back and wait for news. There is a high probability that there will be no further news.
It seems that they can only sell off their property and pay Jinfeng Tower to take action. But I don’t know how many people Jinfeng Tower can kill with all the Shen family’s property.
…………
Night falls.
The lights in Dongchengsi were still bright.
No one noticed that Su Mu, who was originally reading documents in the classroom, left the room at some point.
Yu Xiujiang and the other detectives thought that Su Mu had returned to the backyard, so they didn’t pay much attention and continued to be busy with their own tasks.
At this time, in the East City District shrouded in darkness, a figure was jumping quickly between the roofs. Not long after, Su Mu climbed over the outer city wall and appeared outside the city.
There are dangers everywhere outside the city at night. There are not only robbers and bandits, but you may even encounter monsters.
However, with Su Mu’s current strength, as long as he doesn’t leave the city too far, ordinary dangers will not be able to do anything to him.
After leaving the city, Su Mu completely let go of his restraints, and all his physical strength burst out. He took a step forward, and the ground under his feet exploded. The whole person leaped out several feet like riding on clouds.
It was clearly running, but it felt like flying.
The sound of the wind blew past his ears, and Su Mu even felt like he was leaving the ground.
The strong physique brought by the extreme state of body tempering, even if Su Mu has not deliberately practiced light body martial arts, his speed is far beyond that of ordinary body tempering realm warriors.
A little squirrel foraging for food on the roadside suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing, and then a black shadow floated past its eyes. It raised its head blankly, and its field of vision was empty.
Hit a ghost?
The fruit in the little squirrel’s hand fell to the ground with a plop. The next moment, it turned around with horror on its face and fled into the woods.
Su Mu released his power wantonly, and when the moon was at its zenith, he had already arrived at the valley that Shen Yizhi had mentioned.
The mountains in the eastern suburbs of Wuling City, like the mountains in the southern suburbs, belong to the 800-li Daxing Mountain Range.
This place is the outermost part of the Daxing Mountains, and even the nearest supply point for the city defense forces is more than ten miles away.
When Su Mu arrived at the valley, he saw dozens of people busy packing up their things. They looked like they were about to leave.
Su Mu’s heart moved slightly. Fortunately, he came tonight, otherwise they would run away and it would not be easy to find them in such a vast world.
“The blood and qi are vigorous, and their behavior is well-behaved. These people are well-trained.”
Su Mu lay on the top of the mountain, looking at the busy people below the mountain, and said to himself.
These people were very cautious. Even in the middle of the night, they still wore colorful masks on their faces, revealing only a pair of eyes.
Su Mu’s eyes swept across everyone and finally fell on a corner of the valley.
There stood a dozen rough wooden stakes, each with a person tied to it.
Those people were all covered in blood and looked horrible.
From their tattered clothes, it could be seen that those people were constables from the Dongcheng Division.
Su Mu’s face suddenly darkened.
Killing can only be done with a nod of the head.
This is no longer a simple robbery and murder, it is a humiliation and torture.
Ordinary bandits who rob and kill people would never do such a thing.
Throwing the constable’s body at the gate of Dongcheng District had already touched Su Mu’s bottom line.
Now the actions of these bandits have successfully aroused the anger in Su Mu’s heart.
Su Mu grasped the hilt of the knife and was about to attack.
Suddenly, there was a rush of horse hoof sounds.
I saw a figure riding a horse rushing into the valley, coming in front of the gang of bandits, and dismounting.
“Have you packed? Grab your stuff and leave now!”
It was late at night, in the mountains, and the man did not hide his feelings at all, nor did he lower his voice at all.
He doesn’t sound old.
“It’s already been cleaned up, what about those constables?”
One of the gangsters spoke up.
“Humph, my uncle asked me to let him go.”
The man on horseback sneered, “You can release them, but you have to leave a mark on them!”
Under the moonlight, the man’s eyes were as vicious as a poisonous snake.
“Cut off the thumbs of their right hands for me.”
The man said coldly, “I will make it so that they can’t even hold a knife steadily in the future. Let’s see if they dare to provoke people they can’t afford to provoke again!”
“Yes!”
The rest of the bandits burst into laughter, and a few anxious ones had already drawn their knives and walked towards the tortured and bruised constables.
I saw those bandits approaching.
suddenly.
With a bang, the sound of the rope breaking was heard.
Immediately afterwards, a scarred figure rushed out, roaring like a trapped beast.
Chief Constable of Dongcheng Division, Chen Song!
Chen Song rushed out two steps and suddenly ran into the arms of a gangster, knocking the gangster away.
He took the knife from the bandit’s hand and followed him like a shadow, killing the bandit with one blow.
This sudden scene surprised all the gangsters.
They all roared angrily, and two figures rushed towards Chen Song at a speed far exceeding their companions.
Chen Song killed a bandit and was about to kill another one in one go, but the two bandits in the fourth level of Body Tempering had already pounced in front of him.
Two muffled bangs.
Chen Song’s figure flew backwards.
He was already seriously injured. He had just broken the rope with a burst of anger, and had tried his best to kill a bandit. Now he was relying on a breath of air to hold on. How could he defeat two warriors of the same level?
He was knocked flying and rolled more than ten times after landing. Chen Song tried hard to get up, but he fell back weakly halfway through.
“Scared me.”
The man on horseback walked over, patted his chest and said, “I really thought you were going to turn the tables in anger.
Unfortunately, in my hands, you are like a grasshopper in autumn, no matter how much you jump, it is useless. “
“I originally wanted to spare your life, but now you have angered me, so I decided to chop off your head and send it to Su Mu.”
He grinned and said, “I wonder if the guy surnamed Su will have nightmares when he sees your dog head, hahahaha——”
He pinched his waist and let out a triumphant laugh towards the sky.
“I don’t know if I will have nightmares in the future, but I know that you will definitely never have nightmares again.”
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
The sound was not very loud, but it suppressed the arrogant laughter.
“You will never dream again.”
The sound fell clearly into the ears of everyone in the valley.
Chen Song suddenly raised his head, and a ray of hope suddenly burst out from his eyes, which were originally full of despair.
At this moment, a bright light descended from the sky with a terrifying whistling sound.
puff!
The young man who came on horseback was pierced through the chest by a long knife and flew backwards.
He flew out for dozens of feet until his body hit a huge bluestone, and then he finally stopped.
The whole person was stared to death on the boulder and hung there.
“puff……”
He Guangmao tightly grasped the hilt of the long sword with both hands, a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth, his eyes full of disbelief.
He looked in the direction where the long knife came from, and just in time he saw a man walking down the hillside.
Su Mu!
Infinite regret surged in his mind. If he had known this would happen, he should have listened to his uncle and not provoked Su Mu.
It’s a pity that there is no place in the world that sells regret medicine…
