From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

Flying Eagle Gang? Wolf Poison Gang? Fierce Tiger Gang?

It's one thing to know some merchants, but how come Chen Shi also knows people from gangs!

The guests Chen Yu had invited were mostly honest and law-abiding people. They couldn't help but take a few steps back to the wall and quickly lowered their heads, afraid of making eye contact with these gang members.

Compared to ordinary people, Wu Debiao was also a street hustler. Although he was in Gegang County, Gegang County was only a few dozen miles away from Yongqiu City.

It's one thing if others don't know, but how could he not know about the three major gangs that dominate Yongqiu?

The gang leader personally came to congratulate Chen Shi?

Wu Debiao kept wiping away cold sweat, feeling terrified and uneasy.

At this moment, Du Yueming and the other two had already walked in.

Wu Debiao gritted his teeth and stepped forward to meet him. Regardless of Chen Shi's relationship with the three major gangs, he had to strike first. After all, they were all street thugs; they might give him some face.

"My three leaders! We are so sorry for not greeting you sooner!"

"Um?"

Du Yueming and his group, who were about to congratulate Chen Shi, were taken aback when they saw Wu Debiao, who suddenly came forward with a big smile and clasped his hands in greeting.

Could it be my elder brother?

Not daring to be negligent, he quickly cupped his hands and tentatively asked a question.

"May I ask who you are?"

"Oh! I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Wu Debiao. I have about twenty or thirty brothers in Gegang County. We make a living on the streets."

"Oh, I see."

The three nodded and couldn't help but smile.

Yes, my elder brother is a scholar, how could he be so uncouth?

But he didn't take it to heart and readily agreed.

"Guests are always welcome. No matter what you do, if you come to offer your congratulations, you are our friend."

"Yes, yes, but I'm not here to offer my congratulations..."

Wu Debiao hesitated slightly, then said softly.

"I'm here to collect a debt."

"Um?!"

The three people, Du Yueming and Du Yueming, who had been smiling just moments before, suddenly turned pale.

"My three leaders, listen to me..."

Wu Debiao looked flustered and was about to explain himself.

"What are you doing standing at the door? Come in quickly."

Just then, Chen Shi gave a soft shout from inside the courtyard.

Du Yueming and the others snapped out of their daze, temporarily ignoring Wu Debiao, and quickly walked over, their faces beaming, and hurriedly cupped their hands in congratulations to Chen Shi.

"Congratulations on your promotion to the seventh rank, brother!"

"Congratulations, elder brother, on your appointment as a military officer!"

"Your younger brother has come to congratulate you, elder brother!"

Big brother?!

Upon hearing the three people address them and seeing the respectful expressions on Du Yueming and his companions' faces, everyone from the county magistrate Wei Shouren to the ordinary guests and commoners stared wide-eyed in shock.

These gang leaders, who looked like they were not to be trifled with and whom even Wu Debiao bowed and scraped, were actually Chen Shi's underlings!

Who is Chen Shi? Isn't he the boss of bosses?

Wu Debiao stood there, completely dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.

Originally, it was thought that Chen Shi only had some dealings with the three major gangs. After all, he was a local tyrant in Gegang County, and the county magistrate was his brother-in-law. Everyone would give each other face, and nothing would happen.

But to everyone's surprise, these people actually called Chen Shi "Big Brother"!

Wu Debiao, a man who roams the streets, knew all too well the weight and influence of this powerful figure.

"We've already celebrated at Wanxing Restaurant, so there's no need to make this trip again."

Chen Shi smiled, but couldn't help shaking his head.

"Brother, you're mistaken! Things have changed!"

The three of them waved their hands repeatedly and smiled at each other.

Before, at Wanxing Restaurant, it was just the brothers having some fun together, nothing special.

But this time it's different. The eldest brother has returned home in glory, so how could they, as his brothers, not come to support him?

"By the way, which one is the old lady, and elder brother, your elder brother? We have not yet paid our respects."

Then, the three of them asked another question.

Chen Shi chuckled and looked at Chen Wangshi and Chen Yu.

The three immediately understood and walked over quickly with smiles on their faces.

Chen Shi and Chen Yu were terrified to learn that Chen Shi knew someone in the gang, and even the gang leader. Just as they were wondering where to hide, they saw Chen Shi tilt his head at them, and the three men walked straight over.

Is this a revenge mission for Chen Shi?

"Greetings, Madam!"

"Greetings, elder brother!"

Upon reaching them, the three shouted in unison and bowed deeply.

"Ouch!"

Chen Wangshi and Chen Yu, who were already nervous, trembled with fear and were about to kneel down before the three men.

"Oh? Oh no! That won't do!"

The three of them widened their eyes instantly and, with quick reflexes, pulled the mother and child back to safety.

They are Chen Shi's younger brothers, and these are Chen Shi's mother and elder brother. Kneeling before them would shorten their lifespan.

I was puzzled again. Maybe I was speaking too loudly and startled them.

puff!

Inside the house, Cui Nong, who was watching the commotion with great enthusiasm, burst out laughing when she saw this scene.

Then he snorted coldly, "Serves them right, they should have scared this heartless bastard mother and son to death."

"Alright, come back now."

Seeing that Chen Wangshi and Chen Yu were trembling with fear, Chen Shi shouted to Du Yueming and the others.

The three of them frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

However, I didn't think much of it, since I was mainly here to congratulate Chen Shi.

"Chen Shi! Don't think that just because you've colluded with a group of wicked people, I'll be afraid of you!"

As the brothers were talking, Wei Shouren suddenly shouted.

He was already intimidated by Chen Shi's strength as a seventh-rank martial artist, and originally thought Li Changying was a savior, but unexpectedly he came to congratulate Chen Shi.

Then came the medicine merchants, and now even the gangs from Yongqiu City have come.

While shocked by Chen Shi's extensive network of connections, Wei Shouren suddenly felt relieved.

Yes, with so many people watching, he didn't believe Chen Shi would dare to do anything to him, a seventh-rank official of the imperial court, in broad daylight!

"Um?"

Du Yueming and his two companions were no pushovers, and with their current power, they really didn't take ordinary local officials seriously.

He glanced coldly at Wei Shouren, then turned to Chen Shi.

"Brother, who is barking like a dog?"

"The local county magistrate."

"So he was just a mere county magistrate."

Du Yueming and the other two smiled, their faces showing disdain.

However, the three did not directly take action against Wei Shouren. After all, even if they were to do something, they had to wait until after today and not let others see it, so as not to cause trouble for Chen Shi.

He ignored Wei Shouren for the time being and said with a smile.

"Brother, guess who it is, there's still one VIP who hasn't arrived yet."

"Could it be Commander Wu?"

"Hehe, Commander Wu should be here too, but..."

"Distinguished guest has arrived!"

Before he could finish speaking, another shout rang out from outside.

"Prefect Zhao of Yongqiu has arrived!"

who?!

Upon hearing this shout, the others in the courtyard widened their eyes again.

The Prefect? ​​The Prefect has arrived!

Wei Shouren, who had been so arrogant just moments before, was completely stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

Although this is Gegang County, Gegang County is ultimately just a place under the jurisdiction of Yongqiu.

Chen Wangshi and Chen Yu were filled with trepidation. The highest-ranking official they had ever met in their lives was Wei Shouren, the Prefect.

Among the guests, the instructor was not only shocked but also excited. Even the prefect had come in person to offer his congratulations; this Chen Shi was indeed no ordinary man.

"How did you manage to alarm even Lord Zhao?"

Chen Shi gave Du Yueming and the others a reproachful look, then quickly went to the door to greet them.

First, a group of constables entered to clear the way, and then Zhao Qiancheng, accompanied by Wu Gang, walked in.
