47: Chapter 47 Seeking One's Own Death

"Who is it?"

Chang Feng jerked his head up, meeting Su Bai's cold gaze exactly.

Under the moonlight, Su Bai stood quietly at the doorway, with two stunningly beautiful women standing behind him, trembling with fear.

As their eyes met, Chang Feng's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

He opened his mouth, just about to say something.

However, Su Bai didn't give him the chance to speak at all!

A flash of feigned shock crossed Su Bai's eyes as he suddenly pointed at Chang Feng, shouting with all his might, "Who are you! How dare you break into my home in the middle of the night and commit murder!"

"Someone help! There's an assassin! Murder!"

This roar was like a sudden clap of thunder, instantly spreading through the entire street!

The neighbors, who had just turned off their lights, had their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering from the roar and lit their lamps once again!

Meanwhile, Chang Feng, standing outside the courtyard, was completely dazed.

He stared blankly at the righteous and indignant Su Bai at the door, his mind a complete mess.

I killed someone?

When did I kill anyone?!

I just fucking got here!

The dozen or so confidants behind him also looked at each other, completely unable to grasp the situation.

Weren't we here to find trouble?

How did we become murderers?

After a brief, dead silence, Chang Feng's face turned the color of pig liver, and he said angrily, "You little brat! You're fucking spouting nonsense!"

"You dare frame me!"

He never dreamed that before he could even make a move, Su Bai would flip the script and pin such a massive blame on him!

This was simply a humiliation!

Seeing Chang Feng's exasperated state, Su Bai sneered inwardly, but his face showed fear, as if he were frightened by the other's ferocity.

Yet he spoke with righteous indignation, "I'm framing you? You brought so many people and appeared at my door in the middle of the night, and there are two corpses lying here. If you didn't kill them, could it be that I did?!"

Su Bai's voice was loud and clear, ensuring all the surrounding neighbors could hear him distinctly.

"You... you..."

Chang Feng was so angry his whole body trembled, and for a moment, he didn't know how to refute it.

Indeed, no matter how one looked at the scene, it looked like he had brought men to commit a crime only to be caught by the homeowner!

One of his trusted aides behind him snapped to his senses, quickly stepped forward, and roared, "Kid! Watch your mouth! Do you know who we are? This is the Deputy General of the New Recruit Camp, Lord Chang Feng! What does it matter if he kills two lowly commoners!"

These words were intended to use his status to suppress the other, but they played right into Su Bai's hands.

"Oh? Deputy General of the New Recruit Camp?" Su Bai raised an eyebrow, and the terror on his face turned into anger as he said, "What grand official authority! As a military commander, instead of thinking about defending the country, you lead soldiers in the middle of the night to harm the people! Is there no more law!"

By now, Chang Feng was blinded by rage. Hearing Su Bai's every word piercing his heart, he could no longer suppress the Killing Intent in his heart.

Framing me?

I'll make this charge a reality today!

I'll kill you first, then deal with those so-called witnesses!

"Law?" Chang Feng gave a cruel laugh and said, "In this place, I am the law! To tell you the truth, forget that I didn't kill them—even if I really did, what could anyone do?"

He took a step forward, and the Spiritual Qi on his body was released, instantly enveloping the entire small courtyard.

"I am a seventh-rank military officer, the Deputy General of the New Recruit Camp! Crushing you is easier than crushing an ant!"

The soldiers behind Chang Feng also drew their weapons one after another. The bright blades reflected the moonlight, brimming with Killing Intent.

At the entrance of the small courtyard, swords were drawn and bows were bent; a great battle was on the verge of breaking out!

Ji Yingying and Lin Chanchan inside the house had never seen such a display. Their small faces turned pale with fright, and they gripped Su Bai's clothes tightly, their bodies shaking like leaves in the wind.

Su Bai shielded them behind him, his eyes fixed on Chang Feng, having already calculated everything in his heart.

Come on, make your move!

As long as you dare to act, don't even think about leaving tonight!

However, just as Chang Feng was about to order his men to attack, a series of hurried footsteps came from the other end of the alley.

"Step aside! Step aside! The County Yamen is handling a case!"

A shout, like a raspy duck's voice, broke the tense atmosphere.

Chang Feng's movements froze, and he instinctively looked toward the sound.

He saw more than twenty Yamen Runners holding Staves, surrounding a middle-aged man in a green official robe with a goatee, rushing over aggressively.

The leader was the County Vice-Magistrate, Guo Jin.

Guo Jin was in a very bad mood right now, cursing as he walked, "That Zhu Jiang is becoming more and more outrageous! He's nowhere to be found at the critical moment! What am I feeding him for?"

"When I find him later, I'll have to skin him alive!"

He was under orders from the County Magistrate to handle a dispute in the west of the city overnight and needed the help of the local expert, Zhu Jiang. However, he had sent people to the Zhu residence several times, but there was no sign of him.

In his irritation, he heard someone shouting about killing and immediately brought his men over.

He wanted to see which blind fool dared to cause trouble on his turf!

Soon, Guo Jin and his party arrived in front of Su Bai's courtyard.

When he saw the tense scene at the courtyard entrance, his brow couldn't help but furrow tightly.

On one side were soldier thugs in military uniforms, and the other side seemed to be the owner of the house.

And between the two groups of people, two corpses were lying.

Guo Jin's gaze swept over the first corpse outside the courtyard wall. He felt it looked familiar, but since it was dark, he couldn't recognize it for a moment.

His gaze continued to move, falling on the corpse inside the courtyard.

When the light of the torches illuminated that face, Guo Jin's footsteps suddenly stopped!

He rubbed his eyes, looking again in disbelief.

That's right!

"Zhu, Zhu Jiang?!"

Guo Jin cried out in shock, completely stunned.

This... isn't this the Deputy Squad Leader Zhu Jiang he was searching the whole world for?

How could he have died here?!

The Yamen Runners beside Guo Jin also recognized Zhu Jiang's identity, and a commotion broke out instantly!

"It's Squad Leader Zhu!"

"Heavens! Squad Leader Zhu has been killed!"

Guo Jin's face instantly became extremely ugly, and a surge of anger rushed to his head!

You have to look at the master before you beat the dog!

No matter how much of a scoundrel Zhu Jiang was, he was still a man of the County Yamen!

To be killed at someone's doorstep now was simply a provocation to Guo Jin!

He looked up at Chang Feng, the only one in the field holding a weapon and leading a large group of subordinates.

No need to ask!

Who the murderer was was clear at a glance!

Guo Jin pointed his finger at Chang Feng and roared with stern severity, "What audacity! You villain dare to commit violence in the streets and murder my County Yamen's Deputy Squad Leader! Men! Take this fellow down for me!"

With an order, the twenty-plus Yamen Runners behind him immediately pounced!

"Yes!"

This time, it was Chang Feng's turn to be dumbfounded.

County Yamen Deputy Squad Leader?

Zhu Jiang?

He looked down at the corpse on the ground, his mind going blank with a buzzing sound.
