An Zheng sat under the willow tree and chatted as he drank.

The fight in front of them had turned into a mess, and those who were making trouble had been beaten until they cried for their parents.

But on An Zheng's and Jin Sanling's side, it was so quiet that it seemed to only be the two of them.

"When I first arrived at Fringe City four years ago, the first person I recruited was Pang Si. At that time, you two were the only solo thieves in Fringe City. Other people say that you two killed people without thinking, but I know that you two never recklessly killed innocent people. "

An Zheng drank a mouthful of wine, "At that time, I wanted to toast you. But it seems to me that there has never been any kind of master-servant relationship between us. "I respect you for your character and call you big brother. That's why I drank one cup of wine from you and three from myself."

He passed the wine jug to Jin Sanling: "That year, all of the citizens of Fringe City's King Village were robbed by the Poisonous Wolf Stronghold, and over seventy people from a small village were killed. Seven arrows, three blades, two holes appeared on your body due to the long spear, the wound should still be there. "

Jin Sanling laughed with tears in her eyes: "Why not, it hurts when it rains on a cloudy day."

An Zheng nodded his head: "Drag all those scum over here to me."

The group of men dragged the group of men with broken legs to the front of An Zheng and threw them on the ground.

An Zheng said: "Take off your top."

Jin Sanling hesitated for a moment before he removed his shirt.

An Zheng pointed to the scars on Jin Sanling's body. "The reason why he did not retaliate against such a person is because he endured and not because he was afraid of you!"

He looked at Jin Sanling: "Later on, I asked around, the reason why you charged into Poisonous Wolf Stronghold alone was because an old granny from the King's Village cooked a pot of porridge for you when you were in a very poor and poor state. You said many times that if it hadn't been for that pot of porridge, you might have died. I heard that the Poisonous Wolf Stronghold's men robbed the King Village, so you came back from a hundred and thirty miles away overnight. By the time you arrived, the King Village would be covered in corpses. "

"Then you went to the Poisonous Wolf Stronghold and killed all the bandits."

An Zheng looked at the men on the ground: "You dare call yourselves men in front of him?! The reason he did not retaliate when you beat him up and insulted him was because he did not want Heavenly Awakening Sect to bear the reputation of bullying the common people. Do you really think he wouldn't dare to hit you? You don't dare to cripple you? "

One of the men knew that he had met a tough opponent this time and begged for mercy while enduring the pain, "Lord An, we know we were wrong, Lord An. This is our fault, let's just forget about it, alright? "

A woman howled from behind, "Forget it? How can you let it go when he beat you up like this? I want him to go bankrupt! "

An Zheng sighed before turning his head, "I have never been willing to see women getting beaten up. Most of the time, the men who hit women are bastards. "But a woman like you is not worthy of being a woman."

The woman was still screaming, "What can you do to me? If you dare hit me, I will let everyone in Fanggu City know that your Heavenly Awakening Sect is full of rogues! "

An Zheng sat down again. "Investigate their background."

Du Shoushou immediately arranged for people to investigate, in less than ten minutes, he had gathered a lot of information from the nearby streets.

"These people are all from the same family. They are all solid people. All year long, they had relied on the clashing of porcelain to amass wealth and gave Fanggu a lot of filial piety, so Fanggu did not ask too much. They were especially focused on the people who were entering the capital from outside the city. Many of them had their entire fortune extorted by them. These people were not the only ones. It was said that their group was larger than a hundred people. I reckon that there are still some of their people outside watching, and they're afraid of getting beaten up so they won't show their faces for now. "

Du Shoushou said to An Zheng in a low voice: "Every year, they can blackmail quite a bit of money from people who enter the city from outside. The locals will also be bullied quite a bit. Fanggu turned a blind eye to the rewards.

An Zheng nodded his head: "Drag all of them into the sect and send people to the Fanggu, and ask about how he plans to handle this matter with magistrate."

Mad Qu came over from the entrance: "I'll go."

An Zheng nodded his head: "It's good for you to go. You have been there more than once, so you can be considered to be familiar with the roads there."

Mad Qu laughed: "I'm already old, so running errands is fine. If he's twenty years younger, I'll go up and fight him. "

An Zheng laughed: "Forget it, beating people doesn't hurt, your hands do."

Mad Qu turned and walked over to the constables, who knew that An Zheng was not someone to be trifled with. The leader of the constables bowed towards An Zheng: "Lord An, we have all seen this, you can rest assured. If you ask, we will answer truthfully."

An Zheng said: "It's hard on you, I'll treat you guys to wine later."

When the few constables heard An Zheng's invitation to drink, they knew that there were benefits to be had, so they became even more courteous and turned to follow Mad Qu to Fanggu.

The women, including the old lady, were still lying on the ground. An Zheng could not be bothered with them and just allowed the big men to surround him. After an hour or so, those women felt that there was no point in lying down and throwing a tantrum. They all sat on the ground and started cursing. Even now, they still didn't feel like they had come across a boulder that they couldn't bite through.

These people were all greedy for money and had no brains. They felt that An Zheng and the others came to the capital from a foreign land, and because they heard that the Heavenly Awakening Sect was very rich, they plotted to come to the entrance of the Heavenly Awakening Sect.

Not long after, the master of the Fanggu, Liu Sui, and the most trusted person beside him personally rushed over. This was a person who always looked to have a very humble attitude, but An Zheng was very clear on how many flowers and plants there were in this kind of person.

"Lord An, look at what happened. It's so lively."

Liu Sui paid his respects to An Zheng at first, then came over and lowered his voice: "Prefect already knows about this matter. With such a huge commotion, you should still leave after the ceremony. In a while, my people will bring that Jin Sanling Master Jin to the Prefecture, and they will just casually walk around for a bit, and then bring the people back tonight. "

An Zheng still needed to rely on the Fanggu s to get closer to the higher ups of the imperial government step by step. He still had to save Xiao Qidao's mother, Ye Yun, so he could not fall out with the Fanggu s for the time being. Although he hated Xu Zhengsheng and hated him a lot, he still had to maintain his current reputation and spend all his money.

He smiled and replied, "Someone has come to your house recently with some local specialties. Someone will send them to your house for a taste later."

Liu Sui immediately broke into a smile, "Lord An, don't worry. Our Fanggu is a land of law, how could we let a group of rascals get the upper hand? "I'll just say it for the Lord, why don't you let this Master Jin suffer first?"

An Zheng nodded: "Pang Si, you and Jin Sanling will go to Prefecture."

Pang Si, who had a body similar to Du Shoushou's, immediately nodded: "Alright, we will go right now."

Mad Qu said, "I'll go too."

An Zheng acknowledged: "You go too, bring the person back tonight."

Liu Sui turned to look at the pengci people, "These people ? How does Lord An plan to deal with it? "

An Zheng asked: What do you think we should do?

Liu Sui thought for a while and said: "In the end, I still have to suppress this matter. I think it's better this way, I will bring him away first, in any case, Master Jin did not suffer any losses right? You beat them up badly enough. I'll teach them a lesson and let them show off their skills in the future. "When we get back, let them go, and this matter will be over."

An Zheng said: "You can decide."

Liu Sui cupped his fists: "Alright then, leave this matter to me."

He sent people to find a few large carriages, put in all the men with broken legs, and then left with the group of women who were crying like they had lost their lives.

An Zheng entered the main entrance of the Heavenly Awakening Sect and saw Qu Liuxi and Gu Qianye standing side by side with unsightly expressions on their faces.

"Did you see the ugliness of human nature again?"

An Zheng asked.

Gu Qianye sighed: "If it wasn't for Xiao Liu'er preventing me from taking action, these people would have already been annihilated by me."

Qu Liuxi said: "If we kill them, the matter will become too big, and it will not benefit our Heavenly Awakening Sect at all."

I don't understand," said Gu Qianye. "For a little money, how can a man be so ugly? That old woman was at least sixty or seventy years old. How could she be so ugly? I also know about Jin San Ling's matter. The old granny who saved him before was extremely poor, but she still used the last of her grains to boil a pot of porridge for Jin San Ling. That was good, that was love. They are both old people, why is there such a huge difference?

An Zheng said: "Humans are the most complicated creatures. I have seen it before... "More than this ugly one."

The crowd outside gradually dispersed, and many of them were in cahoots with those who had collided with the porcelain. Previously, they did not dare to move recklessly because they could tell that An Zheng's men truly dared to do so. They dispersed with the crowd, occasionally looking back, their eyes filled with ferocity. These people were actually the same as the vicious eyes of the wolves on the prairie. Because of their greed, they had the greed to cause others to fall.

After An Zheng entered the gate, he made some arrangements for everyone to continue training and then made a cultivation plan for Xiao Qidao, Du Shoushou and the others. An Zheng did not need to hire a teacher for Xiao Qidao. There were not many people in this world who were stronger than him. Although An Zheng's cultivation level cultivation level was far from what it used to be, the thing in his mind was still there.

Xiao Qidao was very sensible, so sensible that it made people's hearts ache. Having been in the capital for such a long time, he had yet to take the initiative to ask about his mother, but An Zheng was very clear on how anxious he was.

"Xiao Qidao, don't worry. I'm working hard right now and I'll bring your mother out soon."

An Zheng rubbed Xiao Qidao's head, "What you need to do now is to cultivate properly. Only if you become stronger will you be able to protect your mother and prevent her from being bullied anymore."

Xiao Qidao turned around and looked at the wine flag hanging outside his room: "Brother An Zheng, don't worry, I will cultivate well. In the future, I will not let anyone bully my mother, and I will not let anyone bully you, the people who bully our Heavenly Awakening Sect."

An Zheng laughed: "I believe you."

Xiao Qidao clenched his fists. "I also believe Big Brother An Zheng."

An Zheng looked at the wine flag. "Oh right, I haven't asked you before, who gave this wine flag to your mother, do you remember?"

Xiao Qidao carefully recalled: "I once asked mother before, and she only told me that when she had me, the most intimate person I had was one of the experts."

An Zheng thought about it and roughly guessed that the sword intent on the wine flag must have been requested by Xiao Qidao's biological father from a certain expert. The former crown prince of Yan Kingdom should know about his current situation, so he was worried that Ye Yun and her son would be in danger. It was unknown what method Lady Ye used to seal this sword intent onto the wine flag.

Back in Fantasy Eternal Residence City, An Zheng had borrowed the sword intent from the wine flag. However, at that time, An Zheng was too weak and the power he could borrow was also very weak. An Zheng had a nagging feeling that the true power of the wine flag was unreasonably strong and unreasonable.

Perhaps, only if he met a true expert, or if Xiao Qidao's strength reached a certain level, would he be able to unleash the true power of the sword intent sealed on the wine flag.

Time passed by very quickly, and after quietly slipping away from the gaps between the fingers of others, night descended upon the capital.

An Zheng looked outside and frowned: "Send someone to take a look, why haven't Jin Sanling and the others returned yet."

At this time, Pang Si, who was covered in blood, carried a person in his arms. Carrying another person on his back, he staggered as he rushed into the courtyard, "Quick, save them!"
