Chapter 119 (1/2)

An Zeng walked in front of Xu Zhengsheng and squatted down, looking into his eyes and said, ””I'm giving you face because you're a government official.””

You and I will not provoke anyone, I will do my bidding, and you will make your fortune.

But now that my man is dead and the killer is with you, I'd like to hear what you said.

This was the first time Xu Zhengsheng had encountered such a thing. He was clearly scared out of his wits, but he still persevered, ””An Zhan, as a fifth-grade official of the imperial court, how could I possibly be threatened by you?””

While I was investigating the murder case, you barged in and killed someone in front of me.

Now you actually want an explanation from me? I'm afraid you have to give me an explanation later in the court.

Even if you give an explanation, the laws of the Great Yan Empire's imperial court won't tolerate your impudence.

””Although you have the backing of the military, I have the backing of the imperial court's laws!””

An Zhan sneered, ””Don't say it so righteously, I don't have the time to listen to your nonsense.””

””I just want to ask you one question. Do you know about those people who bought me those a.s.sa.s.sins or not?””

Xu Zheng's face turned pale as he subconsciously crawled backwards, ””I … Are you threatening me?!””

An Zeng stood up, his hand holding onto the handle of the steel blade that had countless cracks appearing on it, ””Sir Xu, I repeat, don't say these official words in front of me.””

I tell you seriously, before I make your king rule by law, I will definitely kill you.

The dead are my family, and this is not over.

I'll kill whoever stops me.

If you don't want to die, tell me the truth.

””I've already killed dozens of people. I don't care about one more.””

The corner of Xu Zheng's mouth quivered as he replied, ””Master An... Master An, I really don't know.””

””I know your family is upset, but you can't just ignore all the laws.””

An Zhan turned around. ””Then I'll wait for Sir Xu's laws. You can try the same words as before.””

He strode out of the Fang Shen Mansion's yamen, and the constables in the main hall quickly retreated in fear.

They held the hilt of their sabers in their hands, but no one dared pull them out.

Liu Yi had already lost all courage, only now did he know what it meant to be a fugitive.

Ever since the founding of the State of Yan, perhaps no one had dared to chop off a head in front of the Prefect in the magistrate's court.

When An Zeng walked out to look at Liu Yi, Liu Yi was scared and retreated.

An Zhan coldly said, ””Later on, that Lord Xu who advised you on this matter, how should we deal with him?””

Even though our Heavenly Awakening Sect is not a big sect, as long as there is one person alive, we shouldn't allow our enemies to live well. ””

Liu Yi, of course, understood the meaning of this dispute and hurriedly nodded his head. ””Don't worry, Master An, I know how to deal with it.””

An Zou pulled out his sabre from a constable's waist. ””Lend me a sabre.””

The constable wanted to refuse, but there was no time to dodge.

He watched helplessly as An Zeng walked out of the yamen with his saber in hand. He wanted to ask his companions for help, but no one dared to step forward.

An An rushed out of the Fang family's yamen and said to Gu Qianye, ””Go back first. I killed too many people tonight. There might be someone who would make a move against the sect.””

””If anything happens in the sect, take them away and find a place to hide.””

Gu Qianye shook his head. ””I'll follow you.””

An Zaiyue wanted to persuade her, but he could see the determination in Gu Qianye's eyes.

He thought for a moment and said, ””If I die, then those scales should be able to fly out by themselves. Take it.””

Gu Qianye suddenly shouted angrily, ””You're a f * cking b.a.s.t.a.r.d!””

An Zaiye didn't understand why Gu Qianye was scolding him, so he didn't think too much and strode towards East Fourth Street.

Gu Qianye was so angry that his face turned pale. He looked at the departing back of An Sheng, then stomped his feet and followed.

As soon as she caught up, Qu Liuxi chased after her.

””Why are you here?””

Gu Qianye asked.

Qu Liuxi looked at the dispute in front of her, replying in an extremely calm tone: ””I've already healed my master's injury, and I've also healed Fatty Si's injury.””

””All I have to do now is follow him. If he dies, I won't live.””

Gu Qianye was silent for a moment. ””Follow behind me then.””

The three of them walked through several streets, and by the time they reached the fourth quarter, it was already late in the night.

The moon was right up, and the sky wasn't too dark.

The Four Corridors was in the middle of East Four Streets, and the facade was large.

There were many halls in Fanggu City, and all of them were built by merchants from various places in Fanggu City.

Almost every slightly larger prefecture had a meeting hall in the Fang family manor.

The goal of these merchants who came from the same place was to unite the people of their hometown and conduct business together. Together, they would face some difficult problems.

Although most of the time these merchants were also scheming against each other, when facing outsiders, they would often show exceptional solidarity.

It was precisely because of this that the large hall had such an astonis.h.i.+ng influence in Fang Bancheng.

If a businessman wanted to develop in Fang Gu City, he had to contact the officials in the capital.

Officials need money from them. They need privileges from officials, so they get along most of the time.

However, there were endless contradictions between the different halls.

After all, no matter how big Fang Bancheng was, business was only so big of a market, so the compet.i.tion was especially fierce.

The doors of the Four Corners were closed, and the two death-lights at the entrance shone with a pale light.

The gate was closed, and the courtyard seemed very quiet.

Generally speaking, the names of the halls were named after the prefectures.

For example, the meeting hall established by the merchants in the East Yang Province of Yan Country was called the Dongyang Hall.

However, this was called the Four Corridors, so it was impossible to tell from the name of this place where the merchants had set it up.

However, An Zaiyue did not think about that at all. There were only four words in his mind … ””Those who kill will die””.

He walked to the front door of the Four Seasons Garden, the longblade in his hand slas.h.i.+ng down in a straight line.

The long knife accurately cut through the crack in the door, cutting off the inner door.

He opened the door and stepped inside.
