One Dao Fruit a day, starting with the Dragon Taming Technique.

East Street, the Canal Gang.

Yang Jinshan, who looked to be in his early thirties, was pacing back and forth in the room.

Eucommia ulmoides was critically injured and on the verge of death!

This was something he had never expected. Although he knew that those people who claimed to be close to the Tiger King were not easy to deal with, he never thought that they would dare to take advantage of the power of the constable and attack the head of the yamen army in public.

Could he afford to offend the yamen soldiers?

The canal transport in Shuofang Prefecture was not well-developed, and the influence of the canal gangs in Shuofang Prefecture was not particularly strong. Otherwise, Yang Jinshan would not have had to be so careful and tolerant all these years.

"Master Yang, are you afraid?"

Suddenly, two eerie sounds came from outside.

It seemed to come from the deepest hell.

Immediately afterwards, four figures slowly walked in, their bodies shrouded in black robes, with only a small part of their chins showing.

Yang Jinshan felt a sense of fear upon seeing the two.

"No, there are several adults here, so I'm not afraid."

Yang Jinshan forced a fawning smile and said in a low voice, his eyes filled with a hint of envy.

Compared to people like Zhang Hu and Huang Zhang, he had a better understanding of the demons in Shuoyun Mountain.

There is only one true demon king in Shuoyun Mountain, and that is the Tiger King. However, the Tiger King rarely comes down the mountain, so he has to settle for second best and curry favor with those demons, hoping that one day, through their introduction, he can gain the Tiger King's favor, follow the Tiger King, and become an extraordinary person.

Compared to demons like the Bull King and Lady Deer, he was much more obsequious to these men in black before him.

In his view, these people were extraordinary individuals who had obtained demonic power, his "predecessors".

Therefore, although he was angry that these people had attacked Du Zhong, he never dared to blame them and simply tried to find a solution himself.

"Heh heh, Hall Master Yang is a sensible person. I know what you're thinking. Isn't it just to become like us? No problem, once we kill that Xu Guang, we'll take you up the mountain."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jinshan's face lit up with joy. "Thank you, sir. As long as we can do your job well, the entire canal gang will follow your orders."

The four men in black exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with mockery.

To become like them?

Haha, there are still people vying to become a courier ghost.

So adorably silly.

Of course, killing Xu Guang wouldn't require such a big effort. It's simply because something has changed at Shuoyun Mountain, and the Tiger King is clearly becoming more powerful. The goal is to do more to please the Tiger King.

They also wanted to use this opportunity to filter out those scoundrels who had designs on the Tiger King's Taoist temple.

……

Upon returning to the city, Xu Guang dismissed his men and headed eagerly towards the Du family residence.

Before I even entered the door, I saw a man dressed as a doctor carrying a medicine box hurriedly walking out.

Xu Guang's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked at Du Changwei. Didn't he say that everything was fine at home?

Du Changwei, also puzzled, pulled Xu Guang inside quickly.

Upon entering the main room, one is immediately greeted by an extremely strong medicinal aroma.

Besides Liu Xiaocao and Du Youniang, there were three middle-aged people dressed in armor sitting there.

They were all captains of the yamen army.

Upon seeing Du Zhong lying on the bed, Du Changwei's eyes immediately turned red.

"Father! What's wrong?"

Eucommia ulmoides was pale and weak, and the bed smelled strongly of blood.

A chill ran through Xu Guang as he looked at one of the captains. "Uncle Sun, what's going on?"

Sun Jin was no stranger to Xu Guang, but he did not have a good impression of him. The main reason was that Xu Guang's parents had died and he had no one to help him, so he was not a good match.

He had liked Du Zhao since he was a child, and naturally didn't want Du Zhao to suffer.

Hearing Xu Guang's question, she subconsciously frowned, but when she met Xu Guang's gaze, a little fear arose in her heart.

"Yesterday, your Uncle Du got into a fight with the police officers from East Street in front of your cloth shop. I don't know how it happened, but someone ambushed your Uncle Du."

He explained the matter clearly in just a few words.

Xu Guang narrowed his eyes. Du Zhao saw through Xu Guang's thoughts and stepped forward to take his hand. "Brother Guang, don't be impulsive."

Du Zhao held Xu Guang's hand and whispered about what had happened outside the cloth shop in the past few days.

She didn't tell the captains that this matter involved the canal gang. Who knew if these people had any connection with the canal gang? At this juncture, she couldn't trust anyone except her brother and Xu Guang.

Du Changwei, who was standing nearby, was also listening, and a strange expression appeared on his face when he heard this.

"Xiao Guang, aren't you the chief constable of East Street now?"

The East Street Chief Constable is the head of the East Street Police Station. Before he even took office, his father-in-law was injured by the police. If word got out... it would be quite ridiculous.

Du Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said.

"The men who hurt my father weren't from the police station. The scene was chaotic. Two men in black suddenly appeared out of nowhere, slashed my father twice, and ran away. The police from the East Street station chased after them, but they couldn't catch them."

Xu Guang slowly tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.

That's really... interesting.

……

Meanwhile, the East Street police station was in complete chaos.

The constables were generally composed of a chief constable, a chief patrol officer, and a chief constable, with the chief constable being the head, and the chief patrol officer and chief constable each having their own responsibilities and acting as the chief constable's assistants.

A few days ago, the chief constable of East Street was transferred, and Chief Inspector Duan Shan and Chief Constable Wu Qi went to great lengths to compete for the position.

The chief inspector was in charge of patrolling the streets, so Duanshan had a good relationship with all the major and minor forces on the streets.

The chief constable is responsible for apprehending wanted criminals and investigating murder cases.

At this moment, in the Chief Constable's Office, Wu Qi leaned back in his chair, holding a document that had just been sent by the Prefectural Governor's Office, concerning the welcoming of Chief Constable Xu Guang to take office.

Wu Qi looked somewhat resentful. In order to get promoted, he had sent more than a thousand taels of silver to the governor's mansion and the general office of the yamen, but he never expected that a young lad from the yamen would take his place.

However, after carefully examining Xu Guang's battle record in the document, it was found that he killed eleven alien creatures in the chaos of battle, and single-handedly defeated three enemy formations, killing three demons with twenty years of cultivation...

The resentment in my heart faded a little.

It's only right that someone like him rises to the top, given his track record and ability.

Just then, someone suddenly spoke up.

"Chief Constable, things are getting interesting. If I remember correctly, this Xu Guang is the son-in-law of Du Zhong, the head constable of the yamen who was injured by Chief Inspector Duan yesterday."

Wu Qi rolled over and sat up abruptly. "Is this really true?"

His eyes darted around, his mind racing. This Xu Guang was so young yet already possessed such strength. Once his martial arts cultivation broke through, he would definitely be far from reaching this position. After he left…

Anyway, we've already outlasted two managers over the years, so losing one more won't be a big deal.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the general ward rounds was deathly still.

Duan Shan held the same document sent by the governor's office in his hand, but his face showed no resentment, only fear and disbelief.

Since Du Zhong was injured that day, he had investigated Du Zhong's connections, and Xu Guang was among them.

He had expected Xu Guang to come to him, but he didn't expect him to come as a chief clerk.

Damn it, the chief clerk hasn't even taken office yet, and I've already called his father-in-law...

Isn't this ridiculous?!

"Brother-in-law, things shouldn't be that serious, right? We weren't the ones who attacked Chief Du. Besides, when we found out Chief Du was injured, we even chased after the killer together."

A young man who looked like a skinny monkey whispered to the side.

Duan Shan wasn't that optimistic.

The yamen soldiers were known for their vindictiveness, and he didn't believe that Xu Guang, who came from a yamen army background, would have a good temper.

The key issue is that the murderer hasn't been caught yet.

As they were talking, the sound of gongs and drums and shouts suddenly came from outside.

"The chief constable has ordered all constables of East Street to immediately set out, surround the canal gang, and arrest Yang Jinshan!"
