The next day, the sun rose high in the sky, but the people of Red Leaf Town's mansion were like a boiling pot of oil, unusually restless.

Long Xiaotian was dressed in official uniform, his slightly plump face exuding a trace of majesty.

He had a serious expression on his face as he sat high up on the main seat. Although his face was expressionless, he could feel a wave of fury rushing towards him.

To the right of Long Xiaotian sat a grim-faced scholar. He was none other than Yun Hai Sheng.

In addition, there were twenty to thirty other constables sitting below. Most of them were experts in martial arts, and most of them had trained in combination for many years. They might not be a match for a gifted warrior, but once they were put together, even a talented warrior would be able to contend with them.

There were a total of seventy-two constables in Red Leaf Town, and there were twenty to thirty of them. From this, it could be seen that Long Xiaotian had at least half of the elite forces in Red Leaf Town.

After all, the fact that Long Xiaotian was able to gather so many experts in less than a year was enough to prove a great deal.

And the reason why Long Xiaotian and the others were gathered here today was because of the earth-shaking incident that happened in Red Leaf Town last night. Not only did the incident infuriate Long Xiaotian, it also made the hearts of the Red Leaf Town's officials tremble.

There was no need to think too much, it was the matter of the top constable of Red Leaf Town, Feng Wu Yi, being killed.

Long Xiaotian had been in a good mood recently. A few days ago, not only had he wiped out the Red Leaf Town's Tiger Gang, but he had also wiped out the Green Bamboo Gang branch.

Who would have thought that today, he would be given such a great gift? The first time he heard of this, Long Xiaotian's heart was filled with nothing but anger.

A dignified county magistrate represented the prestige of the government. To be assassinated just like that showed how much this person disregarded the authority of the government.

"Speak, what is going on?" Although Long Xiaotian was furious, he knew that he had to restrain his emotions. He took a deep breath and spoke plainly.

"Reporting to Lord Long, I saw the Feng Residence's situation. Today, I wanted to go to the Feng Residence to report on their recent work, but who would've known, the moment I entered, I smelled an extremely strong smell of blood, at that time, I realized that things were not good, after entering, it was just as I imagined, the entire Feng Family was completely destroyed." A young man with a glimmer in his eyes crossed his fist, his eyes still hiding a trace of fear, after all, they were all constables.

"Do you know who did it?" Long Xiaotian asked coldly. Although his voice was calm, it was hard to contain his anger.

"If I'm not wrong, it should be the Tiger Gang." The young man recalled the scene and said coldly.

"Where did you see it?" Although Long Xiaotian had his own guesses about this, he wasn't sure if it was the Tiger Gang or the Green Bamboo Gang.

After all, they had recently destroyed more than half of the Hu Gang and the Green Bamboo Gang's strength in one go, and had almost completely annihilated the Tiger Gang and the Green Bamboo Gang in Red Leaf Town. Since they had completely offended these two gangs, if they wanted to take revenge, they would probably only be able to do so.

"Because the Feng Residence left behind a few large words written in fresh blood." The young man cupped his fist and said.

"What word?" Long Xiaotian's face darkened as he asked coldly.

"Whoever offends my tiger, however distant, shall be destroyed!" The youth said with fear in his eyes.

With a "Peng" sound, Long Xiaotian slammed the table, causing the table beside him to shake.

"You've gone too far, you've gone too far. Since you don't care about the prestige of the government, you should kill off this unruly subject!" Long Xiaotian said angrily, his voice loud enough to shake the house.

The faces of the twenty to thirty constables were shocked, but they did not say anything. They could faintly see traces of worry or fear on their faces.

After all, with Feng Wu Yi's strength in front of them, perhaps he was usually very arrogant, but an arrogant person always had the right to be arrogant. Perhaps in normal times, these constables would look down on Feng Wu Yi, but regarding Feng Wu Yi's strength, everyone could not help but admit that he was indeed very strong.

With such strength, if they were to end up like this, what would happen to the rest of them if they were to encounter such a situation?

Perhaps a few of the constables weren't afraid of this and thought that at worst, they would just die, but was there really no worry in their hearts? That was obviously impossible. Other than Zi Ran alone, all the others had families. Perhaps they were not afraid of this sort of revenge, but the family behind the scenes were not?

Thus, this matter caused the hearts of all the constables to tremble. However, if they wanted to use this matter to cause the constables to lose their morale, they were greatly mistaken.

Ever since the founding of the Chu Country, such acts of revenge had never been repeated before. However, there were also a few times when one had to submit. Anyone who did such heinous acts would never have a good ending.

Hearing this, the constable was initially worried and frightened, but very soon, he became furious.

That's right, it was anger. There had always been people like him plundering other people's homes. How could there be people like them plundering their own homes?

Just as the constable was thinking about his own things, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the door. A soldier wearing iron armor hastily walked in.

The moment he entered, Long Xiaotian saw him and quickly knelt down on one knee. He respectfully said, "Your subordinate greets Lord Long."

Long Xiaotian was puzzled as he looked at the soldiers that had suddenly barged in. He didn't know why they were here, but he had a faint guess that this wasn't a good thing.

"Stand up, what is it?" Long Xiaotian said calmly with an imposing manner.

The soldier did not dare to be negligent. He stood up and cupped his fist before saying, "Two guards were shot dead last night on the watchtower at the city gates. They were afraid that someone might intrude into Red Leaf Town."

Hearing this, Long Xiaotian's face darkened. From this, it could be seen that these two matters were closely related. If there were no mistakes, then these two events were caused by the same group of people.

Although Long Xiaotian was furious after hearing this news, he suppressed the anger in his heart and waved his hand, "I already know, so I will discuss with you. At the same time, send people to guard this area and don't let it happen again."

"Yes." The soldier respectfully cupped his fist before retreating.
