Chapter 99: Unexpected Fortune, Young Man with the Last Name Tang
Looking at the corpse under his feet, the fight just now was extremely brief. Su Lie's strength after the restrictions were lifted was stronger than the opponent's, and with the thunderous attack and the sudden hidden move, the fight ended in just a few breaths, without alerting the patrol personnel outside the Black Shark Gang at all.
After a quick search of the body, Su Lie found nothing. He then grabbed the body with one hand and threw it into the flowers in the backyard. This way, he could at least cover it up. By the time the Black Shark Gang members discovered the body of their leader, he had already left Nanqiao Town.
Su Lie took a lamp and walked into the house. The Black Shark Gang had been entrenched in Nanqiao Town for many years. As a local tyrant, they must have accumulated a lot of wealth. As the leader of the gang, Su Lie believed that there should be a lot of treasures in the other party's room.
When the door was opened, the first thing that came into view was a hall. There was an armchair placed at the top of the hall, and a few tables and chairs were simply placed on both sides. It was obvious that this was a place for gangs to gather and talk.
Su Lie walked through the living room and went straight to the side room, which was the bedroom of the Black Shark Gang leader. He put the light on the eight-immortal table in the middle of the room and began to explore.
He searched the wardrobe, wooden boxes, bedside tables...any place that could store items was not left out, and finally he actually found a small wooden box from the corner.
He pulled off the lock on the wooden box with one hand and opened the lid, and what came into view was the target of Su Lie's trip.
"No wonder this guy is alone..."
Looking at the neatly arranged stack of silver bills and some scattered gold in the wooden box, Su Lie suddenly realized something.
As the leader of a gang, Huang Feng was rarely seen without his beautiful wife and concubines, but his behavior was definitely not self-disciplined. Now it seemed that the other party was holding a treasure and was not confident about anyone beside him.
Reaching out to take out the silver bills, Su Lie did not count them carefully but felt the solidity coming from his fingertips, the amount of these silver bills should not be small. He casually put them into his arms and took out the broken gold.
Although the amount of gold is scarce, yellow silver can be exchanged for multiple amounts of silver.
After taking out all the gold and silver, Su Lie saw a small porcelain bottle lying in the corner of the bottom layer.
When the bottle stopper was opened, a faint herbal aroma emerged. Just by smelling this smell, Su Lie, with his perfect control over himself, could find that the blood flow in his body seemed to speed up a lot.
Without studying it carefully, he put the small porcelain bottle in his arms for the time being. Su Lie continued to walk around the room, and then found nothing.
This made Su Lie a little disappointed. Apart from the book on how to use force to leap forward that he had taken from Jia Xing, neither the flying thief nor the Black Shark leader had received any martial arts skills since then.
I don’t know if it is hidden somewhere else or just remembered in my mind.
Su Lie stepped out of the room thinking this way. Although he did not obtain any secret manuals, he had gained a lot from this trip. It is said that killing and arson can win you a golden belt, especially in this world of rivers and lakes where people fight with swords if they disagree with each other, the law of the jungle is reflected vividly.
……
The next morning, when the sky was bright, Su Lie and Mu Qing took their simple luggage and rented a carriage to head out of Nanqiao Town. Nowadays, the martial arts world in Hangzhou is surging, and as more and more people from the martial arts world pour in, the more remote the place, the less safe it is.
On the contrary, the area near the city of Hangzhou is well-ordered because of the presence of the Four Alliances and Tianbo Mansion, as well as the help of the Eight Desolate Sects, and conflicts are unlikely to occur easily.
Not long after Su Lie and the others left, a member of the Black Shark Gang brought a young man dressed as a scholar to call Huang Feng, but after waiting for a long time and no one responded, the young man walked directly into the hall.
Ok?
As soon as he entered the hall, the young man frowned and smelled a faint smell of blood and the smell of a decayed corpse.
Following the smell, the young man walked to the backyard and then stopped beside the flowers on the gravel path.
"Help, boss!"
The members of the Black Shark Gang who were following behind him also discovered Huang Feng lying in the flowers. His voice trembled and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
Huang Feng's death was really too miserable. His whole head was hanging on his back, and the scarlet blood solidified into blood scabs hanging on the corners of his mouth. His eyes were wide open and his skin had turned blue and purple. He looked like a devil crawling out of hell.
"Carry him out."
The young scholar was curious when he saw this scene, and he ordered the Black Shark Gang members to carry out the body in a light tone.
…The backyard was already crowded with people, all of whom were members of the Black Shark Gang. After hearing the news of their gang's death, they all came, but they did not come to pay their respects, but to seize the opportunity to get a piece of the pie.
The Black Shark Gang has been entrenched in the town for many years. Although it is not powerful, it has still accumulated a lot of wealth. As the core members of the gang, some people know how much wealth Huang Feng has accumulated from it.
"Sir, can you tell at whose hands my gang leader died?"
Amidst the silence of the crowd, a big man finally spoke. He was a big leader of the Black Shark Gang. The Black Shark Gang was not very powerful and only existed in this town. Therefore, unlike other gangs, they did not have a big boss or a second boss, or separate positions for the head of a hall.
In addition to the leader of the Black Shark Gang, there are various leaders under him. They are divided into big leaders and small leaders just because of the number of their subordinates.
As the leader spoke, the others also turned their eyes to the young scholar squatting next to the corpse. Those who were in the underworld had to develop extraordinary eyesight. Although they did not know the identity of the young scholar, they knew that he was definitely not an ordinary person just by looking at his clothes and temperament, and his courage to examine the corpse without changing his expression.
"interesting……"
Without responding to the Black Shark Gang, the young man retracted his gaze, tapped his palm lightly with the red folding fan in his hand, and said slowly:
"Your leader was defeated by a master. He was killed in one blow. The opponent's punch was very powerful and broke his head with one blow."
"What? Killed with one strike!"
"Which expert is this?"
……
Hearing this, the gang members around were talking about it. Especially those who knew Huang Feng's strength, that is, a strong man who has already achieved great success in health training and is about to enter the stage of internal organ training. With a pair of grappling hands, I don't know how many arms and necks of townspeople have been torn apart. However, such a powerful and ruthless gang leader was actually beaten to death by a punch. Could it be that some enemy came to find him?
Thinking of this, several big bosses looked at each other and made a decision. But before that...
"I don't know sir..., the death of my gang leader was strange, I hope sir won't make this matter public for the time being."
The big boss who spoke earlier bowed and said that once this matter was exposed and the gangsters in the town knew that the most powerful gang leader was dead, I am afraid that those who are interested would want to get a piece of the pie.
"Haha, everyone, rest assured that I will never reveal this matter." The young man shook the folding fan in his hand, and the red fan embroidered with green bamboo scenery unfolded. The fan danced lightly, bringing a slight breeze that brushed across the young man's hair, making him look very elegant and romantic.
"But I came here this time to ask Gang Leader Huang some questions. Now that he is dead, I wonder if you can help me solve my doubts."
"Please speak, sir. We will tell you everything we know."
"Okay!" The young man put away his folding fan, and the smile on his face faded a little. He said:
"On the fifteenth of last month, the only daughter of Old Man Liu in Qingshui Street was forcibly taken away by two people. The townspeople said it was done by the Black Shark Gang. Is that true or not?"
"At the end of last month, three children also disappeared from the fields outside the town. Was it the Black Shark Gang's doing?"
……
"Since the Black Shark Gang was founded, it has bullied townspeople and committed human trafficking more than 600 times. Are these facts?"
The young man spoke of everything, his tone became colder each time he talked about an incident, and at the same time, a huge momentum rose from his body and pressed down on everyone in the courtyard. Under the momentum of the young man, everyone felt it difficult to breathe, and they felt that the air around them became sticky like substance, and they couldn't even move their feet.
"Who are you?" One of the big bosses asked with difficulty, like a groan. At this point, he didn't know the purpose of this young man, but he didn't know who the other party was. Even the person in charge of the refining organ realm that he had met with the gang leader before didn't have such momentum.
"My surname is Tang."
The young man spoke briefly, then swept the folding fan in his hand. Needle-shaped hidden weapons were wrapped in energy, like a rain of flowers from the sky. They carried terrifying speeds and pierced through everyone's head accurately in an instant.
