Chapter 83 Settling both old and new scores!

The Zhou Yan Residence in the outer city of Jiande Prefecture.

A richly dressed, slightly plump woman was standing in the courtyard talking to Aunt Zhu.

Behind her followed several burly men.

Zheng Bo, his clothes covered in dust, was struggling to stand in front of Zhu Sao and her daughter.

Aunt Zhu held the sobbing Zhu Zhu, her face extremely pale.

"Sister, Second Sister-in-law didn't do it on purpose."

The woman glanced at Zhu Zhu and smiled, saying, "Good girl, Zhu Zhu, your aunt will buy you candy later."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhu cried even louder.

The woman's smile froze on her face.

"Who are you? Do you know whose house this is?"

Zheng Bo mustered his courage and shouted loudly.

These people arrived at the door without any intention of announcing themselves; they simply tried to barge inside.

Zheng Bo stepped forward to stop them, but was pushed to the ground by several strong men.

When the old man fell, he bumped into Zhu Zhu, who was playing in the yard.

The little girl then burst into tears.

The person who came was none other than Zhu's second sister-in-law from her maternal family.

The woman pursed her lips upon hearing this.

"Isn't this my sister and brother-in-law's house? I never imagined, sister, that you would live in such a big house now."

As she spoke to Aunt Zhu, she gestured around with her hand.

"If Second Sister-in-law had known you had this ability, why would she have let you leave the city in the first place?"

"presumptuous!"

Zheng Bo said angrily, "This is the residence of Zhou, the Commandant of the Black-Clad Guard. How dare you cause trouble here? Aren't you afraid—"

He hadn't finished speaking.

A burly man standing behind the woman strode forward and slapped Zheng Bo across the face.

Snapped!

Zheng Bo was old and frail; how could he withstand such force?

He fell to the ground on the spot.

"Fuck you."

The burly man shook his hand and cursed impatiently, "You old babbling rubbish, what are you spouting? You're just a low-ranking officer in the Black-Clad Guard, and you call yourself Captain Zhou? I'm the Prefect!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at his companions and burst into laughter.

Do you know who we are?

Just then.

A deep voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"I don't know who you are. All I know is that if you move again, you'll be dead."

The burly man's smile suddenly froze.

Everyone in the courtyard turned to look at the same time.

What came into view was a stern-looking young man dressed in the uniform of a black-clad guard captain.

He was walking slowly from the courtyard gate at that moment.

In his right hand, he also held a sheathed giant blade that was almost as tall as a person.

The boy's chiseled face showed no sign of anger.

A pair of calm eyes, yet they remained fixed on the burly man who had just made his move.

The burly man felt a chill run down his spine from his gaze and instinctively took a step back.

Zhou Yan looked at the group of people in the courtyard, walked step by step to the burly man and stood in front of him, looking down at him slightly.

Upon seeing the official's robes, the burly man, who seemed to have some experience, sensed something was amiss and lowered his posture, saying, "Sir, we are subordinates of Pan Jingang from the Giant Whale Gang, we..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Zhou Yan raised his right arm and swung out the Mountain-Crushing Sword, still in its scabbard.

boom!

The heavy scabbard slammed into the opponent's abdomen.

The burly man's eyes suddenly bulged out, and he flew out of the front yard as if he had been hit by a mountain, crashing heavily onto the street outside.

The burly man lay on the ground, twitched twice, and then completely lost consciousness.

The courtyard fell silent instantly.

The woman's expression suddenly changed, and she quickly took two steps forward, forcing a stiff smile.

"Hehehe... Lord Zhou, right? I am Zhu Asan's second sister-in-law. We are family."

Moreover, my fourth uncle, Pan Jingang, is one of the eight great warriors of the Giant Whale Gang, and he enjoys befriending young talents like Lord Zhou.

Glancing at her, Zhou Yan said indifferently, "Who's family with you? I'll count to three now, and you'd better get out of here, or I might spare your lives."

These words were spoken.

The air in the courtyard seemed to freeze.

The burly men who had been so aggressive just moments before didn't dare utter a single word.

I originally thought the other party was just a junior officer, but it turned out to be a captain.

If they were killed, the gang probably wouldn't avenge them; instead, they would cut ties with them.

The woman's smile froze completely.

"one."

Zhou Yan's calm voice rang out again.

The woman and the burly men exchanged glances, but ultimately did not dare to linger.

She turned to look at Aunt Zhu and said meaningfully, "Sister, it seems that Lord Zhou doesn't welcome us. I'll be leaving now. Remember to come home when you have time, after all, the old man misses you quite a bit."

After saying that, she hurriedly walked out with several burly men.

As they left, they didn't forget to drag their companion, who was lying outside the door, away.

Zhou Yan stared in the direction where the group had disappeared, his eyes gradually narrowing.

Giant Whale Gang —

Before he could even approach them, they came to him first.

It's not that he didn't want to detain all of them.

However, since Zheng Bo was injured and Zhu Zhu was also present, he simply didn't want to make the scene too bloody.

Besides, they're just a bunch of small fry; there's no point in detaining them.

If we're going to arrest someone, we should arrest that damned "Pan Jingang".

Zhou Yan withdrew his gaze, quickly walked to Uncle Zheng, and helped the old man into the gatehouse.

Zheng Bo was already quite old.

Now, after being slapped again, half of his face is swollen, and he is clearly somewhat listless.

Zhou Yan dared not delay and immediately went to a nearby clinic to fetch a doctor.

The doctor carefully took Zheng Bo's pulse, examined his injuries, left him some medicine, and instructed him to rest in bed for the next few days.

Only after confirming that the elderly man was out of danger did Zhou Yan breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he went to the backyard.

Aunt Zhu had just coaxed Zhu Zhu, who had been frightened, to sleep.

Seeing Zhou Yan approach, a hint of guilt appeared on her face.

"Ayan, about today's events—"

"It's alright, sister-in-law."

Zhou Yan interrupted her.

"How did these people find this place?"

Aunt Zhu sighed softly before recounting the whole story.

Ultimately, it all comes down to Zhu Asan.

As a constable, Zhu Asan had to patrol the streets every day, but somehow he was spotted by a maid from Zhu's wife's family who knew him.

After the maid returned home, she told Zhu's second sister-in-law about the incident.

The other party then found out their current address through the Giant Whale Gang.

That's why we're in this situation today.

The purpose of their visit is also quite clear.

However, she heard that Zhu Asan had become a constable in the prefectural city and knew the Black-Clad Guards, so she felt that this poor relative whom she had looked down on in the past suddenly had value to her.

So she wanted to repair the relationship and, incidentally, introduce her fourth uncle to the Black-Clad Guards.

But she was unwilling to back down and admit defeat.

That's why they specially brought a few members of the Giant Whale Gang to bolster their presence.

They were showing goodwill while simultaneously displaying their power.

After hearing the whole story, Zhou Yan's gaze gradually darkened.

He hadn't yet had a chance to settle the score with Zhu Asan's family for being driven out of the prefectural city.

Now, the other party has actually broken into his house again and injured his people.

It's good to settle both the old and new scores together.

Zhou Yan told Zhu Sao not to worry, and to take good care of Zheng Bo and Zhu Zhu. Then, he picked up Cui Shan with one hand, turned around, and left the house.

Zhou Yan returned to the Xuanyiwei yamen once again.

The guards in black robes who were guarding the gate saw him return, carrying that extremely exaggerated giant blade, and couldn't help but show some curiosity.

His face was clearly gloomy, and he didn't ask any further questions, but simply bowed from a distance.

Zhou Yan nodded slightly.

As soon as they entered the yamen, they ran into Song Hu and his group.

"grown ups."

Song Hu clasped his hands in a fist and said, "We were just about to go out to continue monitoring the Giant Whale Gang, what brings you here—"

"Perfect."

Zhou Yan looked at him.

"Call everyone together and come with me."

Song Hu was slightly taken aback, then immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"yes!"

After saying a few words to the long-faced man behind him, he hurriedly ran into the yamen.

Long-faced man hurriedly ran out the door.

Zhou Yanzhu stood there silently, holding the giant blade.

Soon, Li Kun and the others arrived.

Glancing at Zhou Yan's gloomy face, Li Kun tentatively asked, "Sir, what has happened to summon us?"

Zhou Yan glanced at everyone and briefly recounted what had just happened at home.

Upon hearing this, Li Kun and the others immediately showed anger on their faces.

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

Li Kun said loudly, "The people from the Giant Whale Gang actually dared to break into the residence of the Black-Clad Guard Captain and cause trouble, and even hit Mei Ren. They have never respected the Black-Clad Guard."

"Who is this Pan Jingang? What is his strength? Where is he now?"

Zhou Yan asked.

With a slight sneer, the black-clad guard named Yu Hua immediately clasped his hands and said, "Sir, this man's real name is Pan Lei. He is one of the Eight Vajras of the Giant Whale Gang, with a cultivation level of four, and is in charge of a gambling house on Chang Le Street in the outer city."

The four trainings, Vajra, plus the gang.

These factors combined immediately reminded Zhou Yan of a gang leader who was also involved in a gang.

"lead the way!"

"yes!"

Yu Hua clasped his hands in a fist salute and led the way forward.

The group of seven headed directly towards the outer city.

Zhou Yan and others had just left the alliance.

Not far away, a guard in black robes who had been keeping a close eye on the situation noticed a slight movement in his eyes.

He glanced in the direction the group had left, then quietly turned around and strode quickly into the depths of the government office.
