Chapter 36: The Land of Gangsters
Yu Zhang wandered in the courtyard of the Xiao family for a while, and everyone was enthusiastically discussing the accident yesterday - the tall golden giant and the sun-like birds and beasts.
Although the City Lord's Mansion and the Gold Auction House tried their best to block the news, the paper could not contain the fire, and there was still news of heavy casualties, but the specific death toll and death list may not be clear until a few more days are thoroughly investigated.
Because most of the people slaughtered by the Nightmare Demon were rich and noble families with heads and faces, for those families who were not weak, it was definitely unacceptable to lose a loved one for no reason, and in this way, it would definitely cause a lot of fluctuations among the high-level forces in the city.
If the City Lord's Mansion can't give them a reasonable explanation at that time, I'm afraid that these families will even secretly unite against the rule of the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion issued a wanted warrant early the next morning, and made every effort to arrest the people related to the bird and beast.
In the next few days, I am afraid that the city will not be very peaceful.
And the culprit of all this, Yu Zhangshaoxia, continued to wander the streets like a nobody, not afraid that someone would find out about him.
Li Yanli, the daughter of the secret agent of the Void Heaven Palace, has a special servant of the Xiao family to take care of her, and although she has not woken up yet, she does not have to worry.
Yu Zhang's plan today is to send the uncle he rescued in the scattered wealth shop back to his own home.
The uncle's injuries were also medicated and bandaged with the enthusiastic help of the Xiao family, but they had not healed yet, and he walked with a little limp.
At that time, when a few passers-by who didn't know each other carried this ordinary uncle to Xiao's house, the Xiao family's guards were still very vigilant, but when they heard that it was Yu Zhang's order, they suddenly didn't dare to slack off.
Not long after, he brought back a woman wrapped in a black cloth, like a shroud, and I don't know if she was dead or alive.
Yu Zhang's body was injured, and he didn't walk as briskly as usual, but the uncle followed behind him, using a cane, and walked more slowly.
The two wounded went out of the door together and went to the other side of the city.
......
"I really have something important to find Xiao Ju Gongzi, please report it!"
"I told you not to come again, Childe is in retreat, and there is no room for any disturbance, so please go back!"
"Little girl, it's been three days in a row, what do you have to do to find the fourth son? You tell us, and I'll tell you when he is out of the customs." ”
Who knows, Yu Zhang's two just got out of the gate when they ran into an incident.
A young girl in a green dress was being stopped by the guards, arguing with each other over something.
The little girl said anxiously: "No, what can I say about this? This is what Xiao Gongzi promised, he said that he would definitely help me, and please guard the big brothers, okay, report it!"
As she spoke, tears flashed in the little girl's eyes, looking very helpless and anxious.
Xiao Ju took a closer look and found that this person was a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that she was the girl who asked for help in the hunting competition before.
"Xiao Gongzi, Xiao Gongzi, I don't know, I still think it's the romantic debt you owe outside!" Yu Zhang smiled and teased in his heart.
The guard and the girl in Tsing Yi were pushing and shoving at the door, and suddenly, the little girl used her spiritual power to break through the guard's cordon and break inside.
The little girl's strength is not weak, she has the level of a low-level spirit governor, if this is an ordinary family, she was really surprised to break in.
But this is the Xiao family in the top three in Gaochuan City! The guards at the gate are all elites, and the little girl has just stepped out of her steps, and the guards reacted, and with three punches and two feet, they subdued her, escorted her, and made her unable to move.
"Girl, what are you doing, and if we do it again, we'll be in a heavy hand!" reprimanded the guard.
"Alright, alright, relax a little bit on both sides. Suddenly, a slightly unfamiliar voice came from behind, and the guard looked back to see that it was the eldest young master of the Void Heaven Palace, who had just arrived but had not been seen all day.
“... Uh, less... Hello Young Master Yu!" the guard suddenly remembered that this distinguished guest of the Xiao family, who was well known to the whole family, didn't know what to call it well.
The girl in Tsing Yi also saw Yu Zhang, and recognized at a glance that this person was the young man who had been with Xiao Hao before.
"Let her go, I'll take care of it. Yu Zhang said.
The guards didn't dare to disobey, so they obediently let go of the girl, but still didn't let her into the alert range.
Yu Chang approached and asked in a low voice, "The girl is here to ask for the debt of the million money?"
The girl nodded a little shyly.
"Xiao Ju is indeed in retreat, and no one is allowed to disturb him. In this way, it just so happens that I am going out too, you take me there, and I will help you pay it back. Yu Zhang smiled and said lightly.
The little girl looked at the confident young man in front of her, combined with the attitude of the guards just now towards him, she thought that this person should also be the eldest prince, so she believed him, didn't ask more, pulled up Yu Zhang's sleeves, and walked out, "Without further ado, let's go quickly, today is the deadline to repay the debt, I'm afraid that something will happen if it's late..."
"Hey, wait a minute. Yu Zhang gently broke free of her hand, turned around, and said to the two guards behind, "You send someone to send this uncle home." ”
The guard's job is to guard the mansion, prevent all idle people from entering, from morning to night, and cannot leave the post for half an hour, but now Yu Zhang has made this kind of request, which makes it very difficult for the two of them: "Young Master Yu, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave..."
"Then do you want me to ask Xiao Ying and let him deliver it?" Yu Zhang's voice raised slightly.
The two guards glanced at each other, immediately relented, and said, "Let's send it immediately, send it immediately..."
The two guards discussed, and then sent a man to send the uncle home.
After Yu Zhang settled the matter here, he followed the girl in Tsing Yi and walked quickly to the east of the city.
The east of the city is the territory of the Wen family.
Although the Wen family is strong, most of the people in the family are women, and their personalities are inevitably too soft. Even their male head of the family, Wen Ning, is as his name suggests, gentle and peaceful.
Because of this, the eastern part of the city is the area with the highest concentration of underworld forces and criminal gangs.
In the east of the city, powerful people, even if they do something to kill people and set fires, the Wen family will try to solve it peacefully, for fear of causing more trouble and attracting enemies.
In the area east of the city, everywhere on the side of the stalls, you can often see people stealing chickens and dogs and bullying people, and even if the stall owner notices, they don't see it, as if the honest people in the whole area are infected by the Wen family, and they swallow everything.
If this happened in the western area of the city under the jurisdiction of the Gao family, I am afraid that if there was a direct fight, it would develop into a duel between the "street vendor alliance" and the "gangster group" within a few minutes.
"Hey..."Yu Chang wanted to call the little girl in front of him, but suddenly remembered that he didn't know her name, so he had to call her "Hey".
"What's the matter?" the little girl glanced back at him, then quickly turned back and walked briskly forward.
"I don't know the girl's name yet. Yu Zhang said.
"My name is Zou Lian, what about you?"
"Yu Zhang. ”
Yu Chang asked again: "Miss Zou Lian, does the chaos on this street happen from time to time?"
Zou Lian knew very well what Yu Chang was referring to, and replied: "It often happens, even if it is as gentle as the Wen family, it is also intended to be controlled, but these gangsters have the same backer behind them, not only the Wen family, but even the City Lord's Mansion does not dare to touch him easily." ”
"Who is so powerful?" Yu Zhang was a little curious.
Zou Lian said in a deep voice: "Our trip is to go to his territory. ”
"Oh, then, I want to see how majestic this man is, who can single-handedly rule over the vast number of outlaws. Yu Zhang pondered in his heart.
The two came to a small courtyard, and a plaque was hung on the gate of the courtyard, which read: "Dongcheng Zou Family".
The courtyard was a bit deserted, with a lot of fallen leaves and weeds, as if no servant had cleaned it for a long time.
Zou Lian didn't say much, opened the door and went in, and Yu Zhang had to follow in.
The courtyard was slightly cleaner than the outside, but the whole was still desolate, sparsely populated, not only did not see any domestic servants, not even the master was there, only a thin man dressed in black sat on a rocking chair in the courtyard.
Seeing Zou Lian and the others enter the courtyard, the man stood up and said in a loud voice: "Yo, the little beauty is finally back, have you got the money?
Zou Lian secretly gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and shouted unkindly: "I brought the money, where did you get my sister and my parents?"
The man walked up to her and said, "Of course they are well protected in our gang's base camp, and now you are the only one, do you want to go in and have fun too?"
When he got closer, he gently stroked Zou Lian's cheek with his fingers, causing Zou Lian to tremble but not dare to resist.
"Smack!" only a crisp sound was heard, and the thin man's hand was firmly grasped by another powerful hand, and pushed away from the range of Zou Lian's side.
"What kind of bad virtue is used, you have to start when you speak, I don't think you need to keep this hand, why don't you cut it?" Yu Zhang tightly grasped the thin man's wrist, and the sharp dragon claws cut his skin to the point that a trace of blood oozed out.
"What are you doing!? Don't mess around, I'll back... There's the overlord behind him!" The man shouted in a panic.
"Yu Zhang, don't!" Zou Lian also exclaimed.
Yu Zhang let go. Yu Zhang also knew in his heart that if he moved the gang members here, he was afraid that he would cause a lot of trouble, at this time he was still suffering from internal injuries, and he also had a wanted warrant on his body, so he couldn't use his full strength to receive spiritual skills, in case the person known as the "overlord" was strong, it would not be a good end.
Yu Zhang was not afraid, he was afraid that these people would be counted on Zou Lian's head afterwards.
"Don't talk nonsense, where are the people? Hurry up and hand over the people, pay the money with one hand and hand over the person with the other. Seeing that the man still wanted to talk nonsense, Yu Zhang cut him off in advance and said.
As soon as the man opened his mouth, he still wanted to take advantage of his tongue, but he was choked back by Yu Zhang, and a sullen breath was blocked in his heart. His wrist was red, and he still had a faint pain, and from the moment he had just fought each other, he knew that this person was not something he could deal with.
The person who knows the times is Junjie, and the thin man no longer competes, and says with a dark face: "Hehe, if you have the courage, follow me." ”
The three of them came to a remote street, and on both sides of the street stood many fierce men, covered in scars, who seemed to be the kind of people who had been licking blood at the tip of a knife all year round.
The two of them were neatly dressed and beautiful, which seemed out of place with the environment here, and they were surrounded by malicious eyes all the way, if it weren't for a member of the gang in front of them to lead the way, I am afraid that these people would immediately pounce on them to rob the money.
Under this burning gaze, the two walked to the end of the street, a wide school field.
There are many gang members on the school ground, and they do not train collectively like the Xiao family, but are scattered and train alone. It seems to be chaotic, but in fact, all of them have hidden murderous intentions, which should not be underestimated at all.
There is a shade pavilion in the center of the school field, and in the pavilion is a heavy pitch-black chair, on which sits a middle-aged man with Erlang's legs.
The middle-aged man held his head with one hand, a herb in his mouth, his eyes were erratic, and he glanced around, looking bored.
And the moment Yu Zhang and Zou Lian stepped into the school grounds, the middle-aged man saw them, and his eyes suddenly glowed, like a tomb robber who had worked hard all night, and suddenly discovered a rare treasure.
In the next moment, the middle-aged man had disappeared from the seat, turned into a black shadow, and rushed towards Yu Zhang and the others with a fierce murderous aura.
