From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 22

In the deep night.

The entire wide street was dead silent.

Jiang Chen raised the long stick, the tip of which was already stained with sticky blood.

There was a big hole in the throat of Qi Cang in front of him, and his death was very miserable.

But Jiang Chen didn't feel much at this moment.

After experiencing the two incidents with Qu Qingliang and Gao Wei, Jiang Chen has gradually become accustomed to the feeling of killing, and there are no more waves in his heart.

"Jiang Chen?"

A slightly puzzled voice came from behind.

Jiang Chen turned around and saw that it was a familiar officer from Shunanfang Yamen, Chen Ji.

Chen Ji looked at the body on the ground in confusion: "What's going on with you? Why are you making such a big noise?"

Jiang Chen's pursuit all the way here had caused a commotion that had already alarmed other police officers who were patrolling the streets at night in Shun'anfang.

Chen Ji followed the noise and chased after them.

Jiang Chen explained: "This group of people are from Shuiqingfang. They ambushed me on South Street."

"People from Shuiqingfang?" Chen Ji was stunned for a moment, and his expression gradually became serious.

Shun'anfang and Shuiqingfang are close to each other and are also hostile sects. Private fights often occur between the government offices on both sides.

But if they come directly to kill people, that would be a complete break-up!
Chen Ji couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "These bastards, do they really want to die?"

At this time.

Jiang Chen noticed that there were two or three figures standing on the opposite street, looking over here with unfriendly expressions.

Is that... a constable from Shuiqingfang?
Qi Cang ran quite fast. When Jiang Chen caught up with him, he was already at the edge of Shun'anfang, only a few dozen feet away from Shuiqingfang opposite.

The commotion here also attracted the police who were patrolling the street in Shuiqingfang opposite.

They had obviously recognized that the corpse on the ground was from their side, and they all had gloomy expressions.

But he did not rush forward and get into conflict with Jiang Chen and the others.

Soon, several Shun'anfang policemen from nearby streets gathered around Jiang Chen and asked him what happened.

A few dozen feet away on Shuiqingfang Street, the police from Shuiqingfang also quickly gathered.

Seven or eight people gathered on each side, staring at each other with cold eyes.

Although no one spoke, everyone could feel the smell of gunpowder in the air gradually becoming thicker even though they were dozens of feet apart.

At this time.

There was a sudden commotion on the opposite side, and then seven or eight Shuiqingfang policemen retreated to both sides, and a tall figure walked out from the middle.

He was a burly man, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a thick-backed machete hanging from his waist. His pair of tiger eyes swept over Jiang Chen and the others with cold eyes.

Chen Ji frowned and muttered, "Yu Yanghua..."

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

Yu Yanghua?
He had also heard of this name.

This man is the chief constable of the Shuiqingfang government office and an outer disciple of the Liuguang sect.

Like Captain Xing, they are all masters of the Mu Rou level.

The two sides have been holding grudges for a long time, and now that Captain Xing is not here, the situation might be a little bad if this person comes here.

……

Yu Yanghua glanced at Jiang Chen and others, then locked onto the body in the corner and recognized Qi Cang's face.

Yu Yanghua frowned slightly.

Qi Cang and the Black Street Gang are considered to be Yu Yanghua's subordinates.

Any dirty work that he is not convenient to do will be handed over to Qi Cang, and it has been quite convenient for him to use it so far.

But why did Qi Cang appear in Shun'anfang tonight and was killed by the Shun'anfang officials...

Sudden.

Yu Yanghua was shocked.

Could it be because of the beggar trafficking incident?

This was a task assigned by a big shot in Liuguang faction, to send a group of people to the Qishan mine.

This kind of thing must not be seen in the light!

Qi Cang is such an idiot. He acted on his own and didn't even bother to tell me!
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have given this matter to him...

Yu Yanghua's face darkened.

He crossed the border between Shun'anfang and Shuiqingfang and strode towards several Shun'anfang officials.

Upon seeing this, several Shun'anfang policemen looked slightly solemn.

The difference in rank between Copper Skin and Wooden Flesh is as huge as the difference between heaven and earth!
They are just copper skin, and they are definitely not the opponents of wooden flesh warriors. "You guys..." Yu Yanghua's cold voice sounded on the street as he walked.

But the next moment.

A voice interrupted his words.

"Captain Yu, what advice do you have for my Dragon and Tiger Sect disciples?"

Everyone looked up.

I saw Captain Xing and several officers including Kong Ye arriving here.

Yu Yanghua's face darkened, but he could only stop and said in a cold voice:
"I should be the one asking you this. It was you, the runners from Shun'anfang, who killed our people from Shuiqingfang!"

"hehe."

Captain Xing said in a gentle voice, smiling, "Why don't I report this to the City Guards? Qi Cang of Shuiqingfang was instructed by someone to attack the Shun'anfang officials at night. What do you think?"

Yu Yanghua suddenly fell silent.

Once this matter is reported, the City Guard will definitely send people to investigate.

Qi Cang's sneak attack on the Shun'anfang police was not a big deal. Anyway, the people were killed, so he could just take the blame.

But if the trafficking of beggars were discovered, the entire Shuiqingfang government would be in trouble!
Yu Yanghua suppressed his annoyance and said slowly, "Then according to Captain Xing, how should this matter be handled?"

"Pay the money."

Xing Fei said calmly: "My brother was attacked for no reason, so he should get some compensation, right?"

"Thirty taels of silver, and the matter is settled."

Yu Yanghua's eyes twitched violently.

Thirty taels?!

Even if you strip Qi Cang's entire family from head to toe, you still can't scrape together thirty taels of silver!

Thirty taels of silver is a considerable amount even for Yu Yanghua!

Yu Yanghua was furious, but he had to swallow the loss.

"Thirty taels is thirty taels, but you have to return Qi Cang and the bodies of those black street gang thugs."

Captain Xing nodded calmly: "No problem."

"Row."

Yu Yanghua turned and left.

After a while, he came back with a purse in his hand and threw it to Captain Xing.

Captain Xing nodded and said, "Hand the body over to them."

Several Shun'anfang policemen immediately brought the bodies of several members of the Black Street Gang and threw them to the people from Shuiqingfang.

"Walk."

Yu Yanghua said coldly.

Afterwards, he left with a few Shuiqingfang servants.

……

Captain Xing looked at Yu Yanghua's back calmly and threw the heavy purse to Jiang Chen.

"Here you go."

"This……"

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned.

Although he listened to the conversation between Captain Xing and Yu Yanghua, he roughly guessed that he would get a share of the thirty taels of silver.

But he didn't expect that Xing Fei would give all the thirty taels to him...

Xing Fei explained: "Today you told me about the Black Street Gang. I wanted to arrange for someone to investigate first, but I didn't expect them to act so quickly and attack you directly at night."

"This is my negligence. These thirty taels of silver will be regarded as your compensation."

Jiang Chen heard it and did not refuse.

Putting the purse into his arms, he bowed and said, "Thank you, sir."

Feeling the heavy silver in his arms, he felt a little happy.

I didn't expect such an unexpected gain...

The practice of martial arts consumes a huge amount of resources. I am now using "Green Jade Skin Tempering Liquid" to assist in my practice, which costs hundreds of coins every day.

When he reached the stage of Bronze Skin Perfection and was heading towards Wood Flesh, the "Green Jade Skin Tempering Liquid" lost its effect, and he naturally needed new resources for cultivation, which must be another large sum of money.

The seven taels of silver earned from selling the demon's corpse were definitely not enough.

By then, he will have a headache about how to make money.

Now that he has these thirty taels of silver, he shouldn't have to worry about resources for a long time to come...
