The Dominance of Martial Arts: Starting from the Tiger Roaring Golden Bell

Chapter 101 Isolation
"...Brother Hu, this is what happened. Ah Xu's body is now in the carriage outside the door, and Fan Jiu is waiting outside the site."

Qin Zhiming tapped the desk with his fingers. After a moment, he nodded to Zhang Yuhuai, who was feeling uneasy.

“If you bring someone here, I will definitely give you a favor and let him in.

As for Ah Xu... he announced to the public that he had found the evildoer Gu Fengjie hiding in the gang at the cost of his own life.

The body... Let's burn it. I don't think he wants to stay in this world any longer, even if only a shell remains."

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Fan Jiu took Dabao by the hand and looked at the corpse on the wooden door with interest.

His eyes moved back and forth over the corpse, analyzing the injuries on it.

Behind him is a group of people who are standing still and wandering in place.

"Brother? Brother?"

Suddenly, a man standing still by the stone wall touched Fan Jiu's shoulder with his elbow.

Seeing Fan Jiu looking at him, the man hurriedly said:

"Do you have a way to get in? If so, can you take me in?

You tell me how much it costs, as long as I can get in."

Fan Jiu looked at the man, then looked at the little girl who was coughing in his arms.

"She's sick."

"No! I'm not sick, I just have a sore throat."

The man quickly looked around and raised his voice to drown out Fan Jiu's voice, and explained in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Fan Jiu said nothing, but moved his eyes to the little girl's exposed wrist, where there was a boil.

The man followed his gaze and hurriedly pulled the little girl's sleeve to cover the abscess.

"Brother, please, take us in, okay?"

After the man finished speaking, he tried to stuff the purse full of silver money into Fan Jiu’s hand.

Fan Jiu stretched out his hand and pushed it away:

"It's not that I won't help you, but I may not be able to get in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yuhuai, wearing a medical bandage, walked out of the small wooden door in the stone wall.

He waved to Fan Jiu, and Fan Jiu pulled the boy towards the wooden door.

Seeing this, the man wanted to reach out and pull it, but he pulled his hand back halfway.

Fan Jiu walked to the wooden door, stopped and looked at the man.

"In this world, death may not be a bad thing."

Before the man could curse, he disappeared through the wooden door.

The man with a red face was left standing there, holding his daughter in his arms, at a loss as to what to do.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Zhang Yuhuai led Fan Jiu and walked along the busy street.

Looking at the vendors hawking their wares and the steaming food on their stalls, Fan Jiu said:
“Your place is different from other places.”

"What's the difference?" Zhang Yuhuai asked with a smile.

“You guys here all have smiles on your faces.”

Soon, Zhang Yuhuai led Fan Jiu into the study where Qin Zhiming was.

Qin Zhiming was holding a book with a frown on his face, and the table was full of open books.

Fan Jiu only took a glance and knew what he was looking for.

"It's no use. These books won't contain what you want."

Qin Zhiming put down the book: "How do you know?"

“When I was in the mountains, I had the same troubles you have now.

I wanted to find a book to verify what I wanted, but the books in the county town, big and small, didn't have what I wanted. Rather than saying that those were books, it didn't mean that they were all nonsense.

Until a caravan from the outer city passed by me, I invited them up the mountain.

I learned some things from them.”

"what's up?"

Fan Jiu raised the corner of his mouth:

"Are you sure you want me to tell you? You know, I've always gotten along well with the government.

Because of this incident, Nie Hongshen was brought to the mountain and was arrested and thrown into the dungeon."

Zhang Yuhuai was stunned.

"You killed all those people?"

"On the contrary, I released them all. Not only that, I didn't even take the goods."

"Then why did they arrest you?"

"I asked questions that I shouldn't have asked, and Nie Hongshen arrested me on the grounds that I wantonly slaughtered caravans and robbed goods.

That is to say, I let those people go, and then they died."

"Maybe your men killed those people?" Qin Zhiming said.

“Impossible, I saw those people enter the city with my own eyes.

Besides, my men have never disobeyed my orders." Fan Jiu shook his head.

"Tell me, I have probably guessed what it is.

Ah Huai, why don’t you go out first?
I think what Brother Fan said is similar to what I said that night."

After hearing this, Zhang Yuhuai immediately regretted bringing Fan Jiu here.

He nodded helplessly:
“Okay, Brother Tiger, I’ll be guarding outside, and no one will come in.

But I want to remind you again, try not to say some things out loud. "

After Zhang Yuhuai closed the door, Qin Zhiming invited Fan Jiu to sit down and chat.

"Is what you want to say related to that person?"

Fan Jiu looked at Qin Zhiming pointing his finger to the sky, and he nodded.

“I asked people from other cities, and they also have immortals there.

However, many people have seen the immortals there, and have seen them quite a few times.

Have you seen the fairies here?

They also said that you can sell anything from the outer city to Chaolan County, except for one thing. "

"Book?"

“Oh, that’s right, it’s books. Not a single book is allowed to be sold in Chaolan County.

Anyone who violates the order will have his entire family executed. This is an official order as well as a provincial order.

Not only that, the government doesn't allow people from outside the city to talk too much to us here.

Business matters are fine, but you can’t mention anything related to immortals or the past of the place.”

"Then how about we go to the outer city from Chaolan County?"

"You've never been out of the city, have you? To go to the outer city you need a pass, which clearly states where you came from, where you're going, and how long you're staying.

When you arrive at the outer city, you need to check into the designated inn. Every time you travel, you must bring someone appointed by the government with you.

If you don't have a pass, no matter how you explain, you will be thrown into the dungeon."

Hearing this, Qin Zhiming suddenly asked a question.

"How many immortals are there in the outer city?"
