61: Today, both of you must die

Lu Xuanwu nodded lightly, "It's nothing serious. How can Martial Artists like us be good people?

With a Sharp Weapon, Killing Intent arises naturally, let alone for us. A little Evil Qi is harmless."

Qin Jiang shook his head, "No, what I mean is, I don't need to hide this Evil Qi in my heart."

Speaking of which, it's time to resolve the Li family's matter.

Standing up, he left directly.

Lu Xuanwu sat on the chair, watching Qin Jiang's receding back with deep eyes.

He suddenly felt that Qin Jiang seemed to have changed. Was it due to the influence of Evil Qi?

The extremely dense Evil Qi that day truly shocked him.

He thought that in his old age, he had never seen anyone cultivate the Red Tiger Fist's Evil Qi to such a degree.

That's right, such Evil Qi, it's normal for it to affect one's mind.

However, with the tiger fiend pill, he can still control it. From the looks of it, Qin Jiang is just a little extreme.

The next day, on the streets of the South City, hundreds of Red Tiger Gang members moved out in unison, like a black tide engulfing the street.

The residents and shopkeepers on the street immediately closed their doors and windows. In these times, they didn't want to suffer any unwarranted disaster. If they were caught in the crossfire, it would be too unlucky.

Thump-thump-thump! Thump-thump-thump!

Hoofbeats echoed on the street, and soon stopped in front of a mansion, which was Li Songzheng's Li Residence.

Whoa~~

Reining in his horse, Qin Jiang waved his hand, "Surround them! Don't let a single rat escape!"

The dense and rapid footsteps were numerous. In just a few minutes, hundreds of Gang members had completely surrounded the entire Li Residence.

The two house servants guarding the gate of the Li Residence looked at Qin Jiang with fear in their eyes, unable to utter a single word.

The Red Tiger Gang's fierce reputation was well-known; who didn't know how ruthless this Gang was?

Not in a hurry to break into the mansion, Qin Jiang rode his horse back and forth outside the gate with interest, the crisp sound of hooves like a drum beating in their hearts.

Soon, there was a commotion inside the mansion, and a stout man in brocade clothes came out with a group of servants. It was Li Songzheng.

There were about fifty servants, some holding knives, some holding sticks, looking fierce.

But upon seeing the Red Tiger Gang members who had completely surrounded the entire Li Residence, their bodies still trembled uncontrollably.

After all, the Red Tiger Gang was responsible for the order of the outer city, and in their eyes, their status was almost equal to that of the government.

"Haha! Esteemed sir, may I ask what brings you to my Li Residence?"

Li Songzheng said with a laugh, his big belly protruding. Anyone who saw his smile would only find it sincere, completely unable to tell that he was a fierce Martial Artist.

Qin Jiang looked at the other party and couldn't help but recall the night his arms were broken. It was truly difficult to reconcile the stout man in front of him with the eagle-like man from that night.

Looking at the other party's honest smile, he couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Master Li, you conspired with demons to slaughter over a hundred common people. The evidence is conclusive. Do you have anything else to say?"

Li Songzheng's pupils suddenly contracted upon hearing this, and his smile froze on his face.

Damn it! Who exactly is this guy?! How did he know about this?!

Having dealings with demons wasn't a big deal, and killing these common people in the outer city was just that, killing them.

As the saying goes, 'if the people don't complain, the officials don't investigate.' He had killed them all cleanly, so there wouldn't be any problems.

But if these two matters were combined and exposed, then it would be a bit troublesome.

However, years of pretense allowed him to quickly recover. Looking at Qin Jiang, he smiled, "Sir, you jest. My Li Residence has no demons, and we would never harm common people."

Saying that, he puffed out his chest slightly, "Perhaps, sir, you don't know, but my Li family has always had a good reputation in this South City. Although I, Li Songzheng, cannot be considered a gentleman, I have opened granaries and distributed porridge. I would never commit such acts."

Qin Jiang smiled upon hearing this, "Master Li is too modest. Whether it is or isn't, whether you admit it or not, we will know soon enough."

After speaking, he waved his hand, "Search them! Anyone who dares to resist, kill them directly!"

"Yes! Boss! Brothers, follow me!" Meng An directly drew his waist knife and led dozens of Gang members into the mansion.

The gleaming blades made the Li Residence's servants afraid to resist.

Li Songzheng's expression tightened upon hearing this. This fellow has such heavy Killing Intent!

Just as he was pondering how to respond, a bell suddenly rang in his ear.

"Ding-a-ling~~"

The vibrating sound swept through, and the Red Tiger Gang members outside the mansion stood frozen in place. Only a few of the head honchos and deacons still had the ability to resist.

"Hmph!"

Qin Jiang snorted coldly while sitting on his horse, and a surging Evil Qi directly swept through the entire street, restoring clarity to all the Gang members.

"Fellow Daoist, why be so aggressive? Master Li has always been pious and would never commit murder."

The voice came from inside the mansion, and a thin, mustachioed Daoist priest in a Bagua robe walked out.

He held a copper coin sword in his right hand and a golden bell in his left.

Qin Jiang ignored him and motioned for Meng An to lead the men in to search.

The Red Tiger Gang members rushed into the Li Residence, and soon after, a series of smashing sounds echoed.

The Daoist priest's face was gloomy. He looked at Qin Jiang, "Fellow Daoist, you seem to disregard this humble Daoist too much."

Qin Jiang laughed directly upon hearing this. He leaned slightly forward on his horse, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist, you won't escape either. Today, both of you must die."

The Daoist priest's expression changed. He seemed to understand something and tried to retreat into the mansion, but Li Songzheng stopped him.

"Don't go. I've arranged for someone to invite my younger brother and the county magistrate. They'll be here soon," Li Songzheng said.

He didn't want to face Qin Jiang alone here while letting that stinky rat find an opportunity to slip away.

The Daoist priest's face showed anger, but he ultimately didn't act on it, instead sharply flicking his sleeve and turning away.

Not long after, the commotion inside the mansion gradually subsided.

But before Meng An and the others could come out, a series of hoofbeats echoed on the street.

A carriage sped over, and as it moved, it showed no hesitation even when Red Tiger Gang members stood in its path. If they hadn't moved in time, they would have been crippled if not killed.

"Stop! What are you doing?! Who gave you the audacity?!"

A slightly shrill and harsh voice came from the carriage. A middle-aged man in official robes lifted the curtain and poked out half his body.

He wasn't particularly strong, but his hands were very thick, like palm-leaf fans, and slightly reddish.

Qin Jiang waved his hand, signaling the Red Tiger Gang members to clear the way.

"Who are you? Is this how Lu Xuanwu manages his subordinates?! Tell Lu Xuanwu to come see this official!" the middle-aged man said.

Qin Jiang smiled, "County Magistrate, please be patient. All will be revealed shortly."

Seeing Song Xiaoan arrive, Li Songzheng looked behind him and found that his younger brother hadn't followed, but he still became more assertive.

He looked at Qin Jiang, "Brother, although I, Li, don't know how I've offended you, I am willing to apologize. How about we just drop this matter?"

In just a few more days, after he finished up, there wouldn't be any so-called evidence.

At that time, he would definitely have his younger brother arrest this guy and deal with him properly!

Qin Jiang dismounted, walked in front of Li Songzheng, and his tall figure looked down at him, "Master Li, don't you remember me?"

Li Songzheng met Qin Jiang's gaze, a hint of confusion in his eyes, and then suddenly realized, "It's you!"

He recognized those eyes, that mysterious black-clad man who had disappeared!

For some reason, a sudden premonition of unease rose in his heart.

"Boss! We found it!"
