The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 1997 From this moment on, everything here belongs to the Zhu family.

Lin Muxuan suddenly looked at the two, Skinny Tiger and Fat Dragon.

Skinny Tiger shook his head and said, "It wasn't me."

Fei Long shook his head, "Don't look at me, it's not me."

Liu Muxuan said, "My two brothers have misunderstood. I wanted to ask if you both saw what just happened!"

Skinny Tiger and Fatty Dragon exchanged a glance, both wondering whether they should say it or not!
Of course they saw who made the move!
That son-in-law, whom the Liu family looked down upon, was actually a master of unfathomable martial arts!

Based on years of experience, they were certain that it was Zhu Wu who made the move, but they couldn't even see what technique Zhu Wu used! Zhu Wu's speed was simply too fast!
With tears in her eyes and a ferocious expression, Liu Mudan said viciously, "What the hell are you asking?! Beat that Lin guy to death! Are you all deaf? You, and you, all of you, get him!"

Liu Zhaolin and Liu Jiangwan witnessed their father's gruesome death before their very eyes. Terrified and momentarily speechless, they finally reacted and roared at their followers, "Are you deaf? Kill them!"

Liu Mudan brought a total of four experts! She had long anticipated that her elder brother might break ties with her over the position of family head, so the four experts she brought included three at the peak of the eighth realm and one at the peak of the ninth realm! Her husband, Zhang Shicheng, had already figured out her elder brother's situation; her elder brother only had a maximum of three eighth-realm experts under his command, and their side's strength could completely overwhelm her elder brother!

In a flash, four experts surrounded Lin Chenming and his group. The four stood at the four corners, several feet apart. Although there were not many of them, their aura far overwhelmed the Lin family!
The Lin family has six members: Lin Chenming, Lin Xinghan, Lin Gaoxiang, Lin Songquan, Lin Juncai, and Lin Xingchi. Although they outnumber each other, they are all elegant and refined, well-read scholars. They look incredibly weak!

Liu Mudan roared, "Kill them!"

Suddenly, they heard Constable Jiang call out from afar, "Stop!"

As everyone watched, they saw Constable Jiang approaching, apparently having finished examining the corpses of the Six Fiends of the Azure Dragon.

Officer Jiang frowned and said, "What are you doing? Shouting and threatening to kill in broad daylight, do you think you can disregard a mere constable like me?"

He originally wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but when he thought of Magistrate Chen's strange expression, he felt that he couldn't leave any evidence against him! Magistrate Chen was a newly appointed Song official, and even a fool could tell that he was looking for an opportunity to establish his authority and was eager to make a name for himself. Everyone was being careful and didn't want to give the magistrate any leverage over them!
In previous years, the head constables were always there while the county magistrates came and went. Jiang Cheng would never have taken the newly appointed county magistrate seriously! Which county magistrate didn't rely on him, the local bigwig?
But things are different now! The Song army has just taken over the Shu region's government. To them, local bullies and local tyrants are all the same. They dare to massacre entire cities, so what's a few disobedient troublemakers?

Therefore, after Magistrate Chen took office, no one dared to act suspiciously! This was because Magistrate Chen arrived in armor, and he was accompanied by soldiers from the Song Dynasty!

Magistrate Chen said at the time that the Song court was short of civil officials and could only temporarily fill the gaps by having these low-ranking military officers fill the positions.

He said he didn't understand social etiquette and only knew how to be straightforward. If anyone tried to fool him or play tricks on him, he would chop them to death!

He said he now had a lot of authority because the bandits in Sichuan had not yet been eliminated and various rebellions could occur at any time. Therefore, these special county magistrates had the power to make decisions on the spot!

The reason everyone believed him was because his transfer order did indeed contain such a clause, and it was stamped with the seal of the Great Song Commander-in-Chief!

No secrets stay hidden forever, especially with so many people around. What's happening here could reach the county magistrate's ears at any moment! In the past, a county magistrate facing this kind of family infighting would most likely have chosen to turn a blind eye!

But the newly arrived magistrate would definitely not let go of this opportunity to build his reputation! Others hope for a peaceful and uneventful life as officials, but this magistrate was not like that. He liked excitement and liked to expose problems, because only in this way could he have the opportunity to solve problems and show himself to the Song Emperor!

Could a military officer who had just come from the battlefield sit idly in the yamen all day, or even just wait to die?

Liu Muxuan said, "Officer Jiang, my brother-in-law has been murdered!"

Officer Jiang frowned: "What?" His gaze then fell on the figure of Liu Mudan and the others surrounding Zhang Shicheng's corpse in the distance. He immediately moved over, but just as he was about to leave, he suddenly looked at Skinny Tiger and Fatty Dragon, "Why don't you two go and take a look?"

Skinny Tiger and Fat Dragon shrugged at the same time, making a helpless expression, as if to say: See, there's no way to escape it!

Officer Jiang looked at Zhang Shicheng's chest, touched it, and then began to unbutton Zhang Shicheng's clothes. Liu Mudan glared at him and asked, "What are you doing?"

Officer Jiang said, "I need to examine the injuries! Will you allow me to do so or not!" He then turned stern, looking at Liu Mudan with unwavering resolve in his eyes, waiting for her to say the word.

Liu Mudan gritted her teeth and uttered a single word: "Examine!" She wasn't so confused as to be beyond redemption at this point, and her momentary anger would hinder Officer Jiang's "search for the real culprit"!
His shirt was undone, revealing a muscular chest! A fist-shaped mark was clearly visible on it! It was now a purplish-black color!
Officer Jiang examined the fist mark and said, "This injury was caused by a punch delivered from a distance; a single punch shattered the internal organs!"

"Judging from the characteristics of the fist imprint, this punch came from his right front!" said the skinny tiger.

Fei Long said, "If he lands back where he was standing, and then lands in this position, the direction of his punch should be over there!" Everyone's eyes followed his finger and slowly focused on one person!
Everyone was astonished!

Liu Muxuan raised an eyebrow. "It's you?"

The others whispered among themselves, "Impossible! How could it be him?"

Zhu Wu laughed!

This long-lost feeling of being the center of attention is just wonderful!

He looked down at his people like an emperor!

Many people looked at Zhu Wu with a contemptuous gaze, as if the heavens were looking down upon ants on earth!

Skinny Tiger and Fatty Dragon frowned! They sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Zhu Wu that far surpassed the peak combat power of the ninth realm!
They observed that none of the people around them realized that danger was approaching!

Seeing Zhu Wu standing there with a smile on his face, Liu Muxuan became even more annoyed: "Zhu Wu! What are you laughing at?"

Zhu Wu said, "I wasn't laughing at anything!" He looked at Skinny Tiger and Fat Dragon and laughed, "I never expected that there would be two masters in this remote and impoverished place!"

Skinny Tiger's eyes darted around: "My brother and I are just lowly coroners, how could we be any experts!"

Fei Long also said, "Yes!"

The crowd couldn't help but feel puzzled. These two clearly didn't even put Liu Muxuan in their eyes, so why did they seem so wary of Zhu Wu, avoiding eye contact altogether?

Zhu Wu said, "Now that things have come to this, you two don't need to hide anything anymore! You two probably won't be able to stay in the yamen from now on, so why don't you come with me!"

Everyone was shocked!

A mere son-in-law openly recruiting two coroners as his subordinates? Many people shook their heads, wondering if they were dreaming!
Skinny Tiger said, "Brother, the reason we two are working as coroners here is that we don't want to get involved in the affairs of the martial world anymore. We appreciate your kindness!"

Liu Muxuan, Lin Chenming, and the others were all horrified!

These two coroners were actually retired martial arts masters! I never expected that!

Zhu Wu laughed: "Since you've retired, why are you meddling in things here again?"

Fei Long said, "We are coroners, sent by the county magistrate to examine the body. This is official business, and we have no choice but to come!"

Zhu Wu laughed and said, "So you came, and you managed to find me right away. Impressive!"

Skinny Tiger immediately clasped his hands in a fist and said, "It is our duty, and we hope you will understand!"

Liu Mudan cursed, "You two cowards! Now that you know he's the murderer, you're still calling him brother! This is favoritism and corruption! You're in cahoots!"

Zhu Wu raised his hand, and with a slap, a palm print appeared on Liu Mudan's left cheek!
Everyone was greatly surprised!

The act of slapping Madam Dan from a distance was truly astonishing!
Liu Mudan screamed in pain, covering her face and cursing, "How dare you hit me, you son of a bitch!"

Zhu Wu said, "Who are you? What's wrong with me hitting you?" He looked around. "Your brain is really something else. Everyone else is thinking, 'We're so far apart, how did I manage to slap you like that? Am I a human or a ghost?' And you, you actually dare to curse me! Don't you know what's important? I really don't understand how you've survived this long!"

His expression suddenly changed, and he exuded an aura of dominance. His imposing presence caused people around him to retreat, and a suffocating sense of oppression swept over them!

"From this day forward, everything here belongs to the Zhu family!"

Thank you for your strong support and encouragement from Yudong!
