If you don't bring disaster to the world, what kind of henchman are you to be?
Chapter 24; The Eldest Disciple of Mount Hua
"Who is the other person?"
"The man claimed to be Lang Zhongyi."
Zhu Qing paused slightly upon hearing the name, as if she vaguely remembered it.
By the way, the case files of the Northern Garrison Command mention that this person was the chief disciple of the Huashan Sect. He had previously killed the local militia instructor in a small town, and the case was later dropped.
"One is a self-proclaimed righteous disciple of Mount Hua, and the other is a lecherous scoundrel who defiles innocent women. This martial world is truly magical."
Zhu Qing sighed softly, then led his men into the Red Sleeve Pavilion.
The moment I pushed open the door, a strong smell of alcohol hit me.
There were two drunkards lying on the ground, completely drunk, with more than a dozen wine jars scattered around them.
"Brother Lin...this wine is excellent..."
Zhu Qing stepped forward, took out the wanted poster, and compared it with the two men's faces, confirming that the dark-skinned man was the lecherous Lin Zhigan.
"Uh...who!"
At this moment, Lin Zhigan vaguely saw a face. At first, he thought it was a waiter, but when he suddenly caught sight of the official hat on Zhu Qing's head, he was instantly energized and his pupils shrank sharply.
"Dude, you have quite the refined taste, coming to the chicken coop for drinks." Zhu Qing sneered indifferently.
Lin Zhigan sprang to his feet, and with a surge of internal energy, the smell of alcohol on his body dissipated completely.
He glanced warily at Zhu Qing's official robes, and upon discovering that he was only a hundred households under his command, he immediately gave a disdainful smile.
"Sir, you've got the wrong person."
"Have you got the wrong person? This isn't you?"
Zhu Qing flicked his wrist, unfolding the wanted poster. After seeing the portrait on it, Lin Zhigan shrugged helplessly.
"To be honest, the painters in your government office are really not very good. They didn't capture even a fraction of my dashing and debonair appearance."
"Then we'll admit it's you."
"Brother, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. I've slept with over thirty girls in sixteen counties and never failed. Do you think you can catch me today?"
Lin Zhigan was very confident. He sat down in the chair, poured himself a glass of wine with an extremely nonchalant attitude.
"Alright, let's sit down and have a drink."
"How dare you speak to an adult like that!"
Qi Yunfei shouted and drew his sword, then strode forward and slashed down with it.
Lin Zhigan chuckled and turned to the side, the blade slicing the table in half with a bang, but he was too lazy to even move his butt.
Qi Yunfei's attempt to strike failed, and instead, the other party splashed a cup of wine on his face.
"Sir, your swordsmanship isn't very good."
Enraged by this humiliation, Qi Yunfei immediately drew his knife and swept it across the room.
Hey~
His angry slash was caught between Lin Zhigan's two fingers, rendering him unable to move.
"Get out of here!"
With a sudden burst of strength, he threw Qi Yunfei, knife and all, to the ground. A powerful gust of wind swept through, causing tables, chairs, and benches inside the room to overturn.
"Hahaha!"
Lin Zhigan was able to lift the wine pot with great flair.
Zhu Qing's hair fluttered slightly, and seeing this, she finally understood why the constables had all failed before.
Although this lecherous thief appears carefree and irresponsible, he is actually quite skilled. Judging from his blood and energy just now, he has already reached the late stage of flesh refining.
If placed in the Northern Garrison Command, one would be at least a centurion.
"asshole!"
Qi Yunfei had never been so humiliated. He gritted his teeth and got up to fight again, but a fair hand immediately touched his shoulder and pressed him back down.
"You are no match for him."
Zhu Qing said in a deep voice.
Now that his subordinates have tested Lin Zhigan's true strength, it's time for him to take action himself.
"Sir, I see you're just a centurion, and as for cultivation, you're at most at the mid-stage of the Body Refinement realm. I advise you to..."
Whoosh!
A cold glint appeared.
Lin Zhigan was speaking with extreme sarcasm when he was suddenly jolted, and his voice abruptly stopped.
whoosh whoosh~
He took several steps back, his previous mockery vanishing, replaced by utter solemnity.
He reached up to his face and felt something sticky, only then realizing that the knife had already cut his face.
If he had been any slower, his head would probably be flying off by now.
What kind of swordsmanship is this, so swift and powerful!
"Oh dear, brother, you've disfigured me! How am I supposed to face all those young ladies and wives now?!"
"Fine, fine, I'm not going to argue with you."
Lin Zhigan realized the danger and immediately tried to rush to the window.
But he was fast, and Zhu Qing's knife was even faster. Lin Zhigan knew how fierce Zhu Qing's knife skills were, so he didn't dare to fight back and could only try his best to dodge.
"Don't push your luck!"
He was furious and raised his hand to unleash a palm strike!
The strength from the later stages of the meat-refining process was extremely powerful, rushing straight towards Zhu Qing's chest.
The latter was not afraid at all, and pointed his finger back, hitting the Laogong acupoint right in the middle.
Click~
In an instant, a chilling sound of bones breaking rang out.
"what!"
Lin Zhigan let out a miserable cry, and his hand drooped limply.
The saying goes that the ten fingers are connected to the heart. Zhu Qing's finger directly broke his hand bone, and the pain was beyond excruciating.
"Diamond Finger...no, that's not right, Jade-Destroying Finger!"
"How could you destroy such a beautiful finger!"
Having traveled extensively over the years, Lin Zhigan was quite knowledgeable and immediately recognized Zhu Qing's finger technique as the Jade-Destroying Finger.
But he stared intently at Zhu Qing's hand, which was long, fair, and had delicate skin, and did not look like the hand of someone who practiced finger techniques.
"You should be concerned about your own situation right now."
Zhu Qing spoke calmly, and taking advantage of Lin Zhigan's injury, she used her finger technique again to seal his blood and qi, completely rendering Lin Zhigan unable to move.
"Be careful, sir!"
Just as he took out the iron handcuffs from his waist, Qi Yunfei's voice suddenly came from behind him.
And a sharp, piercing sound.
Zhu Qing frowned and barely dodged the attack with a swift movement.
Looking back, I saw Lang Zhongyi holding a long sword, his eyes arrogant.
"Sir, my brother may be a bit of a womanizer, but surely he doesn't deserve to be thrown in jail?"
"As for..."
Zhu Qing: "He has committed multiple acts of rape and should be imprisoned. As a disciple of Mount Hua, who prides himself on being a righteous person, instead of eliminating this scourge for the people, you speak up for him?"
"Of course I'm a righteous person!"
Lang Zhongyi said righteously, "That's precisely why I can't stand by and watch you, the henchman of the imperial court, act recklessly."
"Brother Lin didn't kill anyone, and he even left some money behind. This is just a romantic debt at most."
"There are so many murderous bandits and robbers in the world, why don't you arrest them? Instead, you come here to show off your power. Don't you feel ashamed?"
Zhu Qing stood there, listening to these fallacies, and suddenly wondered if she had misheard them.
Why does he speak of this heinous crime so lightly and confidently?
Instead, it would seem as if he were abusing his power and making a big fuss over trivial matters.
Is this the kind of righteous person who always talks about chivalry?
"You people from the martial arts world have really peculiar values."
Zhu Qing sighed softly, finally seeing things clearly.
What chivalry? It's nothing more than these people indulging their nature and having no regard for the law.
"My lord, this man is the chief disciple of Mount Hua. Wu Feng, a guest elder of the Chu Prince's Mansion, was once an elder of Mount Hua. What do you think of this matter..." Qi Yunfei stepped forward and said softly, looking troubled.
"What Huashan disciples?"
Zhu Qing's face was gloomy, and his voice was icy: "According to the laws of the Great Yu Dynasty, those who collude with criminals are considered to be guilty of the same crime."
"Since you have already attacked me, this shall be considered as an arrest."
Upon hearing this, Lang Zhongyi's face immediately darkened, and he sneered, "Well, a lackey is indeed a lackey; he can pin a crime on someone with just a few words."
