Chapter 54 - 54 54 Intelligence Analysis

Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Intelligence Analysis Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Intelligence Analysis The Grand Ancestor Long Fist at the expert level had already been engraved into Chen Jie’s bones. Even with his eyes closed, he could perform the entire boxing move set.

So, while practicing his boxing, Chen Jie simultaneously reviewed today’s intelligence and analyzed it. It had to be said that today’s intelligence was indeed quite useful.

Every piece was closely related to Chen Jie.

With a punch, Chen Jie felt that his Grand Ancestor Long Fist had progressed significantly, not far from the Small Success Realm.

This should all be attributed to the medicinal bath.

Speaking of which, a ten-day supply of the medicinal bath was entirely absorbed by him, and through the first piece of intelligence, he was pleasantly surprised to discover.

He had accidentally upgraded Doctor Bai’s prescription.

He added a herb as a catalyst: floating wheat!

This increased the efficacy by forty percent, half of the effect. You could say it had dramatically transformed this medicine.

And this powerful medicinal effect allowed Chen Jie’s strength to advance by leaps and bounds. For instance, before soaking in the bath, Chen Jie couldn’t lift that large millstone, but now, he could barely lift it off the ground. This was a significant improvement.

His strength had increased by at least fifty pounds, and as for his skin, both its toughness and resistance to impact had improved a level.

The enhancements to his physique, in turn, improved his Grand Ancestor Long Fist’s realm.

This type of Ming Jin Martial Arts aimed to temper flesh. Once the flesh was enhanced, it easily benefitted martial arts.

As for so-called comprehension, well, before reaching Dark Force, it was not yet the time to compete in comprehension.

Ming Jin Martial Arts would yield results if you were willing to work hard and invest more money.

Chen Jie now felt that Su Yunjin was his lucky star. Her crying unexpectedly improved the prescription, and he thought he should properly reward her!

Then came the second piece of intelligence. Yu Biao wasn’t planning to pursue the matter further, meaning he believed the lie Chen Jie had fabricated, genuinely thinking there was a Hero of the River.

Wait, it wasn’t a lie at all.

There really was a Hero of the River!

Chen Jie combined it with the fourth piece of intelligence and thought of the Hero of the River he encountered today.

Huangzhou Prefecture, Ding County, which was the neighboring county. Zoroastrian Sect, killing officials to rebel!

*Alright, I knew that under the Daqian system, the Han people couldn’t possibly not rebel.* The Zoroastrian Sect, why does it sound so familiar!

*It seems like the three major rebel sects since ancient times: White Lotus, Zoroastrian, and Heaven and Earth Society!*

...

With a sigh, Chen Jie saw the third piece of intelligence. The third piece of intelligence stated that Ma Liu’s body had been found and sent to his master, Yu Sanliu, who still considered him a suspect.

It seemed he and Yu Sanliu could not coexist!

He had to find a chance to eliminate Yu Sanliu!

Lastly, the fifth piece, Lu San and Chen Sanliu, those disgusting toads, still bore a grudge against him. They dared to say that if they gained power, they would make him suffer. Well, he’d make sure they wouldn’t gain power at all!

Thinking of this, Chen Jie’s eyes became sharp.

*In this world, you wouldn’t be hated unless you were mediocre.*

*But if you dared provoke me, I would surely not let you off easily!*

*In the future, I’d still have to fight my way through, one punch at a time!*

...

Chen Jie practiced boxing through the night, only feeling that his Grand Ancestor Long Fist progressed rapidly, almost reaching Small Success.

After breakfast, Chen Jie instructed Su Yunjin and Ruirui, “Don’t go out during the day. Wait until the afternoon when I come back, and I’ll take you to the town to buy chicks and ducklings!”

Both young women eagerly agreed, and Ruirui excitedly hugged Chen Jie, giving him a firm kiss, showing quite the “gesture!”

Chen Jie left the house and headed straight for Doctor Bai’s home.

At Doctor Bai’s home at that time.

The Bai woman was eating and said, “Husband, have you heard? Ma Liu is dead!”

“Hmm?”

Doctor Bai took a sip of porridge, “Who is Ma Liu?”

“That’s the one who was collecting debts with Jiu Si!”

“Oh, how did he die?”

Doctor Bai asked, and the Bai woman replied, “It seems he was drowned. His body was found in the river bend downstream of Zhongtao Village, hanging on a tree branch. It scared the children who were swimming and catching loaches.”

Wu Hong frowned, “Did they catch the murderer?”

“Not yet, Yu Sanliu sent several groups of people to look for the murderer. But Ma Liu did many unethical things over the years, so he has many enemies.”

“Did they report it to the authorities?”

“What authorities would they report to? Their Guild Cao’s big incident was solved by reporting to the authorities. How shameless is that?”

The Bai woman replied.

Wu Hong put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up, “I’ll go take a look.”

“Sit down!”

Wu Zhong frowned and shot Wu Hong a look.

Wu Hong said, “Dad, there’s a murder. As a constable, I should check it out.”

“Have the people reported it? Traditionally, if the people don’t report it, the authorities don’t investigate. What excuse do you have to check it out? Besides, you’re home visiting family. The public cases in Xiantao Town are naturally handled by the people of Xiantao Town. How does it look if you intervene? Is this how your master taught you?”

“But...”

“Listen to your father and sit.”

Wu Hong sat down, and the Bai woman continued to eat, then suddenly spoke, “Do you think Jiu Si could have done this?”

“Jiu Si?”

Wu Hong frowned, and Wu Zhong slowed down his eating.

Doctor Bai put down his chopsticks and seemed to be pondering.

The Bai woman saw that no one was speaking and was startled, saying, “What is this behavior? I just mentioned it casually. I heard people say that Ma Liu trained, and it’s not easy to kill him unless one has skills. He usually bullied honest folks without many martial artists among them. Jiu Si happens to be one of them.”

Wu Hong stood up again, “I’ll go ask Brother Jiu Si!”

“Sit down!”

Wu Zhong frowned again and then looked at Doctor Bai.

“Dad, what do you think?”

Doctor Bai picked up the porridge bowl and said, “Jiu Si is a good kid.”

Then he didn’t say much more, and Wu Zhong squinted, while Wu Hong said, “Grandpa, a good kid can still kill.”

“Dad, what do you say?”

Wu Hong looked at Wu Zhong. Wu Hong’s character was influenced by his master, adhering somewhat stubbornly to principles.

Wu Zhong also looked at Wu Hong, studying his eyes, and said, “If it really were Jiu Si, what would you do, arrest him or kill him?”

“I!”

Wu Hong was stunned and didn’t know how to choose. He had become fast friends with Chen Jiusi, developing brotherly feelings, but as a constable, his professional ethics wouldn’t allow him to ignore it.

But when it came to making a choice, he was conflicted, unsure whether to uphold the law impartially or to indulge in favoritism.

Choosing one would betray his brother, choosing the other would betray his professional ethics!

*This choice was truly difficult.*

Wu Zhong, understanding his son well, thought for a moment and said, “Maybe it wasn’t him. When he arrives, let’s ask him.”

Hearing this, Wu Hong fell into silence.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Thud, thud, thud...

“Who is it?”

The Bai woman asked.

“Aunt, it’s me, Chen Jiusi!”

The voice came from outside the door!
