Chapter 24 The Long River Gang's Target

"Shen Lang!"

Sun Changhe pondered for a moment and said:

"What is Shen Lang's background?"

Lin Tiantong shook his head and said:

"Boss, Shen Lang's background is not important!"

"The important thing is that the Alliance Leader intends to cultivate good relations with the Liu family... no... the Alliance Leader intends to cultivate good relations with the Cangyuan Sword Sect. Although Liu Jun is only an inner disciple of the Cangyuan Sword Sect, he is a direct descendant of the Liu family. His aunt is an inner elder of the Cangyuan Sword Sect and a fifth-rank expert!"

"that's enough!"

"If we comply, the Liu family will owe us a favor, and the alliance leader will also owe you a favor!"

"In the future, my Changhe Gang will be able to enjoy more resources within the alliance!"

boom!

Just at this time,

A dazzling firework exploded in the southern part of Lechun County.

Lin Tiantong and Sun Changhe walked out of the Hall of Righteousness and frowned as they looked at the fireworks in the night.

"You actually found it?"

Lin Tiantong shook his head.

"Now that I've found someone suspicious, I'll go and investigate!"

Sun Changhe shook his head:

"go together!"

"Shen Lang won't leave Lechun County tonight; it's not too late to deal with him tomorrow."

"Let's go and see who dares to mess with us."

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Xiao Bieli walked out of the room, where Yunyan still had a resentful look in her eyes.

She was the top courtesan at Cuihong Courtyard.

After the Changhe Gang investigated yesterday, she thought she would have a romantic encounter with this extraordinary young swordsman, but unexpectedly, he just fell asleep again.

When the maid saw Xiao Bieli come out, she quickly said:

"Young Master Shen, Manager Qian and the others are waiting for you downstairs."

Xiao Bieli nodded and walked downstairs.

"Oh, how was your rest, Young Master Shen?"

When Manager Qian saw Xiao Bieli coming downstairs, he teased her.

Xiao Bieli nodded:

"Not bad, but I drank too much yesterday."

Liu Dali laughed and said:

"I just want to drink! It gives me a strong kick!"

Manager Qian smiled:

"Let's go, let's get something to eat first!"

"I drank too much yesterday, I'm starving!"

The three arrived at a restaurant.

Manager Qian had clearly been here before; he ordered the food in no time.

"Normally there aren't many people eating breakfast here, but today it's almost full!" Manager Qian looked around the lobby and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"There was a lot of noise last night!"

"It seems like all the experts from the Long River Gang have been mobilized!"

"Yes, I was woken up last night and couldn't fall back asleep for most of the night. What happened?"

"..."

"You didn't know this? Yesterday, Xiao Fusheng, the eldest son of the Xiao family, and Elder Lian of the Changhe Gang died in the Xiao residence. The commotion last night was all because they were looking for the murderer!"

"Has the murderer been found?"

"Of course we found him. I heard that someone witnessed a black-clad swordsman killing more than a dozen members of the Changhe Gang in the South City and then calmly leaving."

……

Listening to the conversations of the diners around him, Xiao Bieli felt somewhat bewildered.

Is someone taking the blame for him?

Manager Qian took a sip of wine and sighed:

"The Changhe Gang is the largest gang in Lechun County, and it's also a member of the Sanjiang Alliance. I never expected that the murderer would get away."

Liu Dali shook his head and said:

"When you're out in the world, your head is always on your side; you never know when someone will take it from you."

"So enjoy life while you can!"

"Like me, Lao Liu, as long as I have money, I'll spend it all!"

Xiao Bieli also picked up a glass of wine, but didn't say anything. He just listened to the conversations around him and filtered out the useful information.

"Hey...you guys don't know the identity of that black-clad swordsman, do you?" a martial arts practitioner, his face flushed from drinking, said.

These words immediately piqued the interest of the diners present.

"What identity?"

"Could it be the Twelve Linked Forts of Dongjiang County? I heard that the Twelve Linked Forts are currently locked in fierce fighting with the Three Rivers Alliance, and their waterways have been blocked!"

"It's definitely not the Twelve Linked Fortresses. If it really were the Twelve Linked Fortresses attacking, they would definitely be looking for trouble with the Three Rivers Alliance!"

"..."

The wandering swordsman chuckled and said:

"Han Wuyin, the third young master of the Han family."

There was silence.

A moment later, someone exclaimed:

"Is this the same young master of the Han family who was massacred overnight, with all seventy-three members of the Han family ten years ago? Back then, there were rumors that the Changhe Gang was responsible. Could it be true?"

"Oh right, I think I heard back then that only the body of the Han family's butler and the third young master, Han Wuyin, was never found?"

"So that's how it is. No wonder he tried to kill Elder Lian!"

"But why take action at the Xiao family's residence?"

"The Xiao family patriarch is close to Elder Lian, so he's probably implicated."

"..."

Xiao Bieli suddenly realized that the original owner of this body was still young ten years ago and had no memory of this incident.

However, he believed that he had not left any clues, and even if Han Wuyin was not blamed, he should not be able to find the source.

"Come on, let's drink!" Liu Dali raised his glass and exclaimed.

"This Han Wuyin is really quite capable. I heard that even Lin Tiantong, the Grand Elder of the Changhe Gang, made a move yesterday, but he still managed to escape."

The three of them clinked glasses and exchanged toasts.

Suddenly, a group of Changhe Gang disciples walked in from outside the restaurant.

Everyone in the restaurant lobby was startled.

"It's...it's Elder Lin!"

"I've met Elder Lin!"

"Elder Lin..."

Upon seeing Lin Tiantong, everyone in the hall immediately stood up to greet him.

The Changhe Gang held too much prestige in Lechun County.

Lin Tiantong is also the Grand Elder of the Changhe Gang, and in Lechun County he is practically the Emperor Emeritus!

Even Manager Qian and Liu Dali stood up and bowed to Lin Tiantong.

Only Xiao Bieli narrowed his eyes slightly.

If he remembered correctly, Lin Hai, who died at his hands, should be Lin Tiantong's grandson.

Lin Tiantong's gaze swept across the restaurant lobby, finally settling on Xiao Bieli, and he said with a faint smile:

"Young Master Shen!"

"I don't know where my Changhe Gang has offended you, but the first thing you did after arriving in my Lechun County was to kill an elder of my Changhe Gang?"

what?

Everyone in the hall was stunned.

It wasn't Han Wuyin who killed Elder Lian, but this young man in front of you?

"impossible!"

Liu Dali shouted, "Young Master Shen was with us all yesterday, and everyone in Cuihong Courtyard can testify to that!"

"Elder Lin, Young Hero Shen was invited by my Weixin Escort Agency. He could never be the one who killed Elder Lian of your gang!"

"Besides, Young Master Shen isn't even from my Manzhou. This is his first time in Lechun County. How could he possibly have made an enemy of your Changhe Gang?"

Lin Datong shook his head:

“I’ve already asked the people at Cuihong Courtyard. When Elder Lian died, you had already finished drinking.”

“Cuihong Courtyard and the Xiao family are only separated by a street, so there is plenty of time. Moreover, Young Master Shen has made quite a few moves in Dongjiang County, and his swordsmanship is superb. The swordsmanship he used to kill Elder Lian is exactly the same as the swordsmanship he displayed in Dongjiang County before!”

"Whether it is or not, Young Hero Shen, come back to the gang with me, and the gang leader will make the decision!"
