Chapter 102 Fighting back to Shi County, enemies meet on a narrow road
boom!
Chu Tang, who was sitting opposite Xu Jin, slapped the wooden table in front of him with a loud sound.
But he stood up angrily and said angrily: "This is unreasonable! It's too much to bully others!"
Of course he was not scolding Xu Jin.
However, Xu Jin seemed to expect that he would be angry, his expression remained unchanged, he just raised his head and stared at him blankly.
Chu Tang still couldn't understand his hatred and cursed: "Damn the Shi family of Meng County, they dare to come to my Gui County to show off their crimes. When I see them, I have to cut them into several pieces!"
Yes, he had almost never been so angry.
Meeting Xu Jin today was originally a joy, but the news he brought completely ruined his good mood.
Xu Jin really came to ask for help:
The matter also mentioned the Five Realm Kung Fu competition incident in Shixian County last year.
At that time, a man from Mengjun next door got the "Ice Soul Magic Skill" by chance. Unexpectedly, the news was leaked and he was hunted down by martial arts people from Mengjun and Guijun.
Among them, the Shi Family, a five-level family from Meng County, also entered the scope of Shi County to participate in the secret book competition.
Their third son, Shi Zilin, had a conflict with Chu Tang. He did not dare to say anything openly, but secretly asked Lin Jie, the envoy of their Shi family, to come and take revenge.
As a warrior of the Four Realms, Lin Jie was overturned by Chu Tang, a warrior who had just entered the Four Realms. He was stabbed with a knife and was heartbroken. He died and met the King of Hell.
At that time, the Shi family retreated, thinking that the matter would be understood, but almost half a year had passed. Ten days ago, the Shi family entered Shi County with great fanfare, saying that they would find the murderer of their sacrifice and avenge him.
They first went to the Shixian Yamen to redress their grievances, saying that their man died in Shixian, and asked the Yamen to help find the murderer.
The arrester Xu Wei knew that Chu Tang was responsible for the incident. At that time, he helped downplay the matter and did not announce it to everyone.
So when faced with the Shi family's request, he pretended to agree while being conciliatory.
Seeing that there was no movement or results from the Yamen for several days, people from the Shi family began to threaten Xu Wei, saying that if Shi County did not hand over the murderer, they would not be blamed for using extreme measures.
As a member of the public family, Xu Wei naturally did not want to deal with these people in the world, and he did not tolerate them and left them to their own devices.
The people of the Shi family also understood the situation and did not dare to vent their anger on the civilians of Shi County, so they specifically looked for trouble for the martial arts people in Shi County.
For example, some gangs and martial arts schools would knock on the door directly. Not only would they humiliate people, but they would also ask people to help them with work and find the murderer together.
In addition, they came in large numbers and set up roadblocks on some important roads outside the city. Anyone wearing weapons would be stopped and interrogated.
Among these people, there were people from martial arts who were passing by, and some who were escorts. Most of them had bad tempers, and naturally they couldn't tolerate it, so everyone started to take action.
With this move, death and injury are inevitable.
Dozens of people came to the Shi family on this trip, led by a fourth-level warrior. There were several third-level warriors under his command. Their combat power was enough to sweep through the Shixian Yamen and Wulin. Therefore, most of the casualties were warriors from Shixian or people passing by. of quacks.
Seeing that they were unable to compete, and no one knew how many people would die if they continued to fight, they couldn't help but give up. They threw aside the backbone of the people in the world, and ran to the Yamen one after another, crying, calling for injustice, and asking for help. In an instant, they transformed from fierce warriors to ruthless warriors. He became a docile and well-behaved good citizen.
He didn't even care about his face and went to the Yamen to ask for asylum.
As the county's chief arrest officer, Xu Wei naturally couldn't just sit idly by and take matters into his own hands, so he led his people to meet with the Shi family for negotiations.
But the people of the Shi family were very powerful and arrogant. They didn't listen to the advice at all, and they didn't take Xu Wei, who was only a mere three-level cultivation, in their eyes. They bossed around and put aside their cruel words. They had no choice but to hand over the murderer who killed the Shi family. , they will give up.
Xu Wei became furious and inevitably spoke harshly. The two sides started to argue, and in the end they couldn't help but fight.
Without Chu Tang, there were only two third-level warriors, Xu Wei and Shi Zhifeng, in Shi County. They were no match for the Shi family, and they suffered a big loss.
Fortunately, the people of the Shi family still had some sense and did not dare to really quarrel with the court. They only injured Xu Wei and others without killing them.
Even so, Xu Wei was seriously injured and lay in bed for several days and still did not recover.
Even the Yamen could not suppress the people of the Shi family, and things became completely serious. The martial arts community in Shi County was suddenly under the power of the Shi family, and the sky was full of anger, but they dared not speak out in anger.
When the Shi family was at its most extreme, they controlled several official roads outside the county seat, tyrannizing passers-by, and even imprisoning people. They committed major and minor evils constantly, making the people of Shi County angry and resentful.
Xu Wei and Shi Zhifeng were both injured and unable to suppress them, so they could only delay the matter. When everyone in the Shi family saw that there was no result, they naturally retreated.
After all, they are from Meng County. No matter how strong and powerful they are, they would not dare to run wild in Gui County for a long time.
I have to say that their plan makes sense, but the people below are reluctant and want to ask for help.
Xu Jin, in particular, proposed to come to the county town to find Chu Tang and ask him to go back and suppress everyone.
Xu Wei was worried that the Shi family's target was Chu Tang, so of course he disagreed with the matter and strictly ordered Xu Jin to keep silent.
However, Xu Jin did not listen to him and acted without authorization. He left a letter and rushed to the county government office one by one, and finally told Chu Tang in detail about the matter.
Seeing Chu Tang's angry look, Xu Jin also felt emotional.
A month or two ago, Chu Tang was a police officer in Shixian County, assisting the county government in escorting prisoners to the county town, but he never thought he would never return.
Nearly a month ago, news came from the county government that they had promoted Chu Tang to serve as an errand in the county government and become the leader of their own squad.
From the head of the county government office to the head of the county government office, the number of people in charge may not be as many as the head arrests in one county, but the status is definitely better than that, and it can almost be said that they have risen to the top.
When Xu Wei received the letter, he not only sighed, but also praised Chu Tang for his future.
In addition to being a little confused, Xu Jin was also happy for his friend's promotion.
Especially when he heard that Chu Tang had entered the Four Realms and had become a person whose martial arts skills could rival those of the county government for arresting heads, Xu Jin could almost describe it as dumbfounded and in disbelief.
But when he thought of the earth-shaking changes that had taken place in Chu Tang in the past two years, Xu Jin felt a little relieved and felt that it was reasonable.
It was precisely because he knew that Chu Tang's martial arts had improved that he dared to come to him for help. After all, there were warriors from the four realms in the Shi family. If their strength was not equal, it would be useless to go.
"Old Chu, Capt. Xu originally told us not to speak out to you, so that everyone could swallow their anger. However, they injured Capt. Xu, and I can't bear it! Will you help us take revenge?" Xu Jin looked at Chu Tang eagerly. , eyes full of desire.
At this time, Chu Tang gradually calmed down and said: "Old Xu, you just came to me. The fact that you came to me as soon as possible means that you still treat me as a friend. Xu Captou has always treated me like a nephew. Especially after my father passed away, he took great care of me. Others bullying him is like insulting my father and uncle. I will get rid of him quickly!"
When Xu Jin heard this, he stood up and said excitedly: "Old Chu, I know you are a good friend, and you will not ignore us even if you become rich! Then what are you waiting for? Get your troops together, and we will fight back to Shi County !”
He had heard that the commander of the county government had many Third Realm warriors under his command!
Of course he hopes that Chu Tang can bring these masters with him and go back to cause trouble for the Shi family, letting them know that the people of Guijun are not easy to bully!
Chu Tang smiled awkwardly and said sheepishly: "Old Xu, things are not as simple as you think."
Seeing Chu Tang's hesitation, Xu Jin seemed to have thought of something and asked secretly: "Old Chu, you can't suppress your subordinates, they don't obey your orders?"
Chu Tang shook his head and said: "That's not the case. It's because our class experienced a great war half a year ago. There were countless casualties and our vitality was severely damaged. We haven't recovered yet."
"Then borrow people from other classes! Lao Chu, I can tell you that the Shi family not only has a fourth-level warrior to lead the team, but also several third-level warriors. Although you are now a fourth-level practitioner, I'm afraid It's hard for you to defeat four hands with two fists!" Xu Jin was anxious.
Chu Tang pressed his shoulders and asked him to calm down. He smiled bitterly and said, "There is one more thing I didn't tell you."
"What's up?"
"Actually, I was the one who killed the Shi family's worshiper."
"What?" Xu Jin's mouth was wide enough to stuff a big goose egg, and he was also embarrassed, "You... you killed him? That was half a year ago. He was from the four realms, and you... you were from the four realms at that time. Is it a state of mind?"
"No! I was still in the third realm at that time." Chu Tang had to deceive his friends. After all, he had just been promoted to the third realm for a few days. "I also used other methods."
"Oh!" Xu Jin thought he understood.
He knew Chu Tangyin's abilities and had seen a lot, so he did not doubt the so-called power of his methods.
Chu Tang asked Xu Jin to sit down, and then continued: "So, when the Shi family came to seek revenge this time, they really came after me. They were not the ones who were killed on official business at that time, so it can be said that it was between me and them. It’s a personal grudge. This makes it difficult for me to let people from the county government go to Shi County with me. After all, I have just been a shift leader for a short time, so there is no reason for me to let the people below work hard for my own affairs, right?"
Xu Jinqiang smiled and said, "What you said makes sense."
"But!" Chu Tang said firmly, "I will settle my matter! Now I will report to Zhuo Captou first, and then I will go back to Shi County with you."
Xu Jin also hesitated and said: "Old Chu, why don't you go back and pretend I've never been here. We'll do what Xu Jin said at the arresting station and wait for them to retreat on their own."
"What, you don't believe me?" Chu Tang was very unhappy.
Xu Jin said anxiously: "I'm afraid that something bad will happen to you! If you work alone, there are really three advantages and two disadvantages. Then wouldn't it mean that I have harmed you? Xu Xu will kill me!"
Chu Tang smiled and said: "Old Xu, you don't understand the power of the Fourth Realm. At the level of the Fourth Realm, it is not something that a few third-level warriors can handle. In my eyes, they are like chickens and dogs. Vulnerable!"
"real?"
"More genuine than your young lady from Yihongyuan!"
Xu Jin was suddenly speechless.
Chu Tang encouraged Xu Jin a few more words, and then asked the other party to prepare horses and wait. After he went to see the county government to arrest the head, he set off for Shi County.
After the explanation, Chu Tang immediately came to Zhuo Lien's office.
Although his body has not fully recovered, Zhuo Lien is already able to take command. He usually stays at the Yamen during the day and only returns home at night.
It was still late, and Zhuo Lien, who had finished his lunch break, was working on official documents at his desk.
Seeing Chu Tang coming in in a hurry, he was surprised and asked him what was going on.
Chu Tang did not waste any time and told the whole story, including the fact that Lin Jie was killed by him.
After listening, Zhuo Lien asked back: "You want to go back to Shi County by yourself, without anyone?"
Chu Tang nodded and said: "After all, this matter was caused by me half a year ago and has nothing to do with the other brothers in the county government."
Zhuo Lien said: "A thief who breaks into your home is no different from assassinating a court official. You were a police officer in Shixian County at the time, and you can be considered a colleague. There is nothing wrong with the county government coming forward for you."
Chu Tang shook his head and said: "I have just joined the county government not long ago. There is really no need to make the brothers unhappy because of this matter. Head arrester, I know that as long as you or I speak, the brothers will definitely follow, but it is difficult to say what they think in their hearts. Okay. Why make everyone unhappy?"
Zhuo Lien was silent in response, and then asked after a while: "Have you made up your mind?"
"I have to go!" Chu Tang said firmly, "I am on my own!"
Zhuo Lien sighed: "In this case, I can't say much. In this case, I will send you an official document saying that the Shixian county government is in trouble when the Shi family is causing trouble in Shixian County, and it will send someone to come The county government is asking for help. I will send you to Shi County to handle the matter as a matter of business."
"Thank you so much for your kindness!" Chu Tang was very grateful.
This is equivalent to the county government endorsing his trip.
What originally seemed to be a personal grudge, according to Zhuo Lien's arrangement, turned into Chu Tang's business trip.
When he arrived in Shixian County, he represented the Guijun County Government!
With this identity, it will be easier to do many things, and even people in the Shi family will have a lot of worries.
Even if they were dragons crossing the river, they would not dare to fall out with local snakes.
Seeing that Chu Tang was about to leave, Zhuo Lien suddenly stopped him and asked seriously: "Chu Tang, have you ever thought about why the Shi family suddenly went to Shi County to seek revenge half a year later?"
Chu Tang was stunned: "What does arresting the head mean?"
Zhuo Lien said: "It's just a mere tribute to a foreigner. Even if he has the cultivation of the four realms, is it worthy for the Shi family to cross the county to avenge him?"
Chu Tang was horrified and said: "The reminder from the head catcher makes me feel weird. If they want revenge, they can come long ago, why do they have to wait until now?"
"I'm afraid they have ulterior motives!" Zhuo Lien said more clearly.
Chu Tang humbly asked: "Why do you think they came, Mr. Headcatcher?"
Zhuo Lien shook his head and said: "I have only heard of the Shi family in Guijun, but I don't know much about them. We don't know anything about their style of doing things or what happened recently, and it's hard to guess their purpose. Maybe People are simply seeking revenge, or the drunkard is not interested in drinking."
"Then the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come and the soil will cover it!" Chu Tang was very confident.
Zhuo Li'en gave him a thoughtful look and said, "You might as well go and explore first. If you encounter any trouble, just ask the county government for help. There are hundreds of police officers in Gui County and the government office, and they are your backers!" "
Chu Tang thanked him again and said no more.
After bidding farewell to Zhuo Lien, Chu Tang found Xu Jin outside. No matter what the weather was like, he rode horses and galloped towards Shi County.
In addition to necessary rest and recuperation, they traveled day and night and entered Shixian County in less than two days.
At noon.
The scorching sun was high, making people's skin feel hot and painful.
"Old Chu, it only takes half a day to pass through three towns and we will reach our county. There is a tea shop outside the town ahead, where you can drink tea and eat snacks. Shall we rest for a while?" Xu Jin was riding fast. He shouted loudly to Chu Tang who was riding in front.
"How about running to the county seat in one go?" Chu Tang responded.
Xu Jin smiled bitterly: "Old Chu, I know you are eager to return home. But even if the man is not tired, the horse also needs to rest for a while!"
Chu Tang thought about it and agreed.
The two horses ran wildly for a while, and saw the tea shop next to the official road in the distance.
There were many people moving inside and outside the tea shop.
When the two of them got closer and saw who was there, Xu Jin immediately changed his expression and shouted in a low voice: "Old Chu, be careful! They are from the Shi family! Let's not stop and rush over!"
When Chu Tang heard this, he immediately reined in his horse, stopped outside the tea shop, and faced the people in the tea shop face to face!
A voice sounded in his heart: Enemies meet on a narrow road!
