Chapter 82
Gu Mo and Gu Chudong hurried down the mountain under the moonlight, deliberately avoiding those officials.
This case is quite big. If they stay at the scene, they will definitely be asked to go to the county government to go through the formalities. Given the complexity of this matter, it will take at least three or two days to complete.
So, they slipped away very quickly.
On the fifth day, when they reached the border of Qingyang County, they were caught up by Zhuo Qingfeng who was coming from behind.
"You two are such thieves," Zhuo Qingfeng complained as he caught up with Gu Mo's carriage on the official road. "You guys ran off with such a bang, leaving me here alone to negotiate with the Qingyang County officials."
Gu Mo leaned against the car window and said with a smile: "Aren't you a government official yourself? Are you afraid of dealing with government officials?"
"The key point is not that I crossed the jurisdiction without permission," Zhuo Qingfeng said helplessly. "Luckily, I successfully solved the cat demon case and also implicated the four major sword sects in the shady dealings behind the scenes. My contribution is great enough. Headquarters should not pursue my unauthorized cross-border activities too deeply. I also have people above me who can help me. When the time comes, I will issue a secret order and say that I was ordered to investigate the case."
Gu Mo smiled and said, "That means everything is fine. I can even take credit for my contribution!"
Zhuo Qingfeng nodded and said, "It's not completely okay. I will be scolded to death by my master."
"Who is the master?" Gu Mo asked.
Zhuo Qingfeng proudly said, "One of the two chief constables of the Six Gates of Yunzhou, Du Sha, known as the Martial Judge in Jianghu."
Gu Mo was slightly stunned and a little surprised. He knew that Zhuo Qingfeng had a background, but he didn't expect it to be so big.
The two chief constables of the Six Gates of Yunzhou not only hold high official positions, but are also officials of the third rank. They are also martial arts masters themselves. Among the ten masters of Yunzhou, two are from the Six Gates, and they are the two chief constables.
Gu Mo chuckled and said, "You have such a strong background, so what are you afraid of? Your master is Chief Constable Du Sha Du, what can't he handle?"
Zhuo Qingfeng said helplessly, "But when my master disciplines his disciples, he really hits them hard. Don't look at me now, I'm in my forties. When he wants to teach me a lesson, no matter how old I am, he still beats me like a grandson. Don't hide. The more you hide, the harder you get."
Gu Mo smiled slightly and said, "Then you're on your own."
Zhuo Qingfeng sighed helplessly and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Just take the beating. You can't escape it anyway. No matter how much you think, the outcome will be the same."
"By the way," Gu Chudong suddenly turned around and asked, "Captain Zhuo, how are the four leaders doing?"
Zhuo Qingfeng said, "They're in jail now. Zuo Yue has crippled the four old guys' skills. When they were rescued from the grave, they were tortured beyond recognition. But they don't deserve any sympathy at all. I used to think Zhao Congwu was a pretty good guy."
At this point, Zhuo Qingfeng's tone began to become angry. He said: "The Six Gates of Qingyang County conducted a thorough investigation overnight. You can't imagine how much blood and gore there is behind the famous Shenmao Temple in Qingyang County. There are human traffickers, forced prostitution, the extermination of entire families, the seizure of land, and other evil deeds. It is simply too numerous to list. Over the past few decades, I don't know how much blood, tears, and bones have been shed.
None of the four leaders was clean. The Divine Cat Temple was originally developed by them. After Fang Lianshan's death, the four of them hid their identities, secretly spread the teachings of the Divine Cat, opened Divine Cat Temples everywhere, and accumulated a lot of wealth, all of which was covered in blood. Later, they turned around and established the Four Directions Sword Sect. Each of them became a famous martial arts master, a founder, and was respected by people.
Honestly, I think they should be waiting in Fang Lianshan's grave, just like Fang Lianshan did back then, starving to death in that small, dark, silent tunnel, letting those wronged souls find them!"
Gu Chudong said, "Well, the Zuo family father and son did a good thing. If it weren't for them, perhaps the four leaders would still be respected until their death, no one would know their true identities, and they might even be remembered forever."
Zhuo Qingfeng nodded and said, "From various perspectives, the Zuo family father and son did a good thing. However, they are not good people either. While seeking revenge, they also want to seize the Sifang Sword Sect and continue to enjoy the bloody benefits of the Divine Cat Temple. If it was purely for revenge, with Zuo Yue's status as the young master, he could easily collect evidence of the Sifang Sword Sect's crimes.
Relatively speaking, Mo Qingxian was pretty good. Although he also made up a big lie, he would not deceive the poor people. His Blood and Tears Pill was used to fool the rich. But now, Lingyun Villa was in trouble. Over the years, the Blood and Tears Pill had long deviated from its essence and became a luxury product of credibility. Now that Mo Qingxian was dead and the lie was exposed, many people would lose their fortunes. Without Mo Qingxian, Lingyun Villa could not withstand the anger of those people.
Of course, the Sifang Sword Sect is also ruined. Too many of its leaders are involved in the affairs behind the Divine Cat Temple. I'm afraid it will scatter like monkeys when the tree falls. Even if it doesn't disperse, there will only be a few big cats and small cats left. However, the fall of the Sifang Sword Sect will bring unrest to the Qingyang County martial arts world again."
Gu Mo nodded slightly.
The fall of the Sifang Sword Sect involved huge interests in the martial arts world. At the same time, the title of the leader of the Qingyang martial arts world was worth the life and death struggle of countless sects.
"Hey," Gu Mo suddenly asked, "Have you found the Soul-Capturing Technique? That martial art is indeed full of mysteries."
Zhuo Qingfeng waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid that martial arts will disappear from the martial arts world. The secret manual that Fang Lianshan engraved in the secret passage was destroyed by the Zuo family father and son long ago. And after Zuo Yue's death, the Zuo family and the Six Gates have not found the relevant secret manual.
As for that bell, I spent quite a while researching it. It's very cleverly designed, but without the Soul-Snatching Technique, it wouldn't be very useful. Its sound is more impactful than that of an ordinary bell."
Gu Mo sighed, "What a pity."
"It's not necessarily a pity," Zhuo Qingfeng said, "This kind of martial arts might be some unorthodox martial arts. The cultivation method might even be some harmful and evil means. If it's lost, it's actually a good thing for the martial arts world!"
“That makes sense.”
"By the way, your bounty will be transferred directly from the Qingyang County Six Gates to the Linjiang Six Gates. I will give it to you directly when the time comes."
"Thank you, Captain Zhuo."
……
A few days passed quickly.
Gu Mo and Gu Chudong finally returned to Linjiang City.
After traveling with Zhuo Qingfeng for a day, Zhuo Qingfeng left first. He had to deal with a case he had handled across the border privately, and he couldn't return to Linjiang City as slowly as Gu Mo.
"Brother, should we go back to Qingping Lane first or go to Buer Villa first?" Gu Chudong asked.
"Let's go to Fuji Villa and say hello to Boss Yan first!"
Soon, the carriage arrived at Buer Villa. The servant in charge of guarding the gate of Buer Villa naturally knew Gu Mo and Gu Chudong. One servant immediately ran over to lead the horse, and another servant quickly went in to pass the message.
After a while, Ah Qi came out.
Ah Qi was still the same as always, dressed in black, holding a black long sword in his arms. He bowed to Gu Mo and Gu Chudong and said, "Master Gu, Miss Gu, my boss is meeting a guest. You two will have to wait a moment."
"It's okay." Gu Mo said.
"please."
Ah Qi brought Gu Mo and Gu Chudong to the backyard to the side hall for receiving guests. When passing by Yan Sanniang's office, they suddenly heard a fierce quarrel coming from inside. Yan Sanniang was very excited.
Ah Qi's face changed. Without waiting for Gu Mo and Gu Chudong to ask, he drew his sword and rushed in quickly.
"roll!"
Then, a dull male voice came from inside.
next moment,
Ah Qi flew out backwards.
Gu Mo quickly reached out and caught Ah Qi, preventing him from falling to the ground.
"Thank you, Gu Da..."
Before Ah Qi could finish his words, his whole body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
Gu Mo placed a hand on Ah Qi's back and quickly passed a stream of Qi into Ah Qi's body. He whispered, "Such a strong internal force, brother Ah Qi, don't hold it in, spit out the blood!"
immediately,
Gu Mo patted Ah Qi's back gently again.
"puff"
Ah Qi spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly pale, but his energy and spirit had recovered a lot, and he quickly thanked him, "Thank you very much."
At this moment,
Yan Sanniang hurried out of the yard and anxiously ran to Ah Qi and asked, "Ah Qi, how are you?"
Ah Qi said, "Master Gu helped me adjust my internal energy, so it's not a big problem."
Yan Sanniang hurriedly thanked Gu Mo.
Gu Mo waved his hand and asked, "What happened? Who hurt Ah Qi?"
Yan Sanniang sighed and said nothing.
Gu Mo did not ask any more questions, because he sensed that two people walked out of the courtyard. Gu Mo could not see them, but he could sense that those two people were martial arts masters, especially the one walking behind. Gu Mo felt a strong spiritual will, which was a trait that could only be possessed by martial artists who practiced the true meaning of martial arts and became strong enough.
now,
Just as Gu Mo had sensed, two people walked out of the courtyard. The one in front was a handsome young man, probably in his thirties. He looked a bit like Yan Sanniang in his eyebrows, and his temperament was very elegant, revealing nobility.
Behind the young man was an old man carrying a long sword on his back. He was wearing a long robe, as white as moonlight, clean and simple. His wide sleeves swayed in the wind like floating clouds. His beard was long and thick, as silver-white as snow, adding a bit of immortal air.
"Third sister!"
The young man didn't even glance at Gu Mo and Gu Chudong. He just looked at Yan Sanniang and said, "This is your last chance. Think it over carefully. I hope that the next time I come, I can get the answer I want."
Yan Sanniang's face was gloomy and she remained silent.
Ah Qi stared at the young man with angry eyes.
The young man glanced at Ah Qi, then looked at Gu Mo, pointed at Ah Qi, and asked, "Did you treat his injury?"
Gu Mo nodded slightly and said, "I treated it. What advice do you have?"
The young man shook his head slightly and said, "I beat someone, and you treated him. I can understand that you are provoking me. You shouldn't have attacked me without my permission."
"But I have already taken action." Gu Mo said.
The young man said, "So, considering this is your first offense, I won't hold it against you, but..."
The young man looked at Ah Qi and said, "This fellow must be punished a second time. If I ask him to lie down for half a month, he must lie down for half a month."
The young man spoke in a very calm tone, without any emotion, but with an air of superiority and arrogance.
The young man looked at Gu Mo and chuckled, "His second punishment is because you healed his injuries. Do you understand?"
As soon as the words fell,
The young man pointed at Ah Qi.
