The battle broke out suddenly. The Xianqing Sect was holding its breath due to poor protection. The disciples of the Xianqing Sect, who had never been wronged before, were ambushed outside Jiangzhou City. The person being protected almost died. The key was to let

The Xianqing Sect was in great disgrace.

Therefore, the fighting broke out and ended quickly. Before Zhong Shanren could calm down his inner shock, Xianqingmen and the patrolmen had already grabbed injured people out of these houses one by one. Most of them had broken hands and feet and lost the ability to move.

One of the bearded men is particularly eye-catching, it is Gui Congrong who escaped from Jiangzhou City.

Ling Xin'an stepped forward and kicked the corner of his mouth. His teeth flew out and his mouth was filled with blood. He ordered someone to separate his mouth with a piece of cloth to prevent suicide.

"Who is the leader of these people?" Ling Xin'an asked.

"Sir, those are the ones!" Zhong Wuyan pointed at four of them and said.

"Take them together to the government office, drag the others to the vegetable market and kill them!" Ling Xin'an said coldly.

Zhong Shanren immediately trembled all over, looking at Ling Xin'an, his heart trembled.

At the vegetable market in Xinmin Town, looking at the faces of dozens of people dragging and screaming but unable to escape, some clapped and praised and some whispered.

When those people were kneeling in a row in the vegetable market, Ling Xin'an stood behind. At this time, most people in Xinmin Town rushed over, looking at Ling Xin'an, and he looked at the people of Xinmin Town and said coldly:

"Zhong Shanren, don't you say a few words?"

Zhong Shanren looked ugly, and squeezed out a smile on his face: "Sir, I don't dare."

Ling Xin'an glanced at him, then turned to the people and said: "When I took office, I ordered repeatedly that no gambling houses should exist anywhere during my tenure. Xinmin Town appeared again and again.

Last year, I was able to uproot all the gambling houses in Jiangzhou City overnight. Today I killed them in the vegetable market to tell the world that there are no gambling houses in any corner under my control. Once discovered, I will not kill them lightly.

!”

Puff puff……

The heads fell to the ground, and blood flowed out. The people looked at the blood spraying into the sky, feeling frightened and excited at the same time.

Dozens of heads soon fell, and enthusiastic cheers rang out throughout Xinmin Town. Many families hated the gambling house.

Ling Xin'an walked away, looking at his back, the people of Xinmin Town felt excited as never before.

In the Zhong Mansion, Zhong Shanren knelt on the ground, sweating profusely, and kept kowtowing: "Sir, I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"

"Last chance, do you know Gui Congrong?"

"Sir, I really don't know. Even if I have millions of courages, I would not dare to assassinate Miss Ling with this person. Please be aware of this."

On the way back, he finally learned why Ling Xin'an was so angry. It was not only because of the existence of the gambling house, but more importantly, because Ling Xue was assassinated and was on the verge of death.

"What about the gambling den?"

"Sir, it was a small mistake!"

"Is it enough to accept just one mistake?"

Zhong Shanren was sweating profusely.

"I will spare your life for now. If next year I don't see that the security situation in Xinmin Town is still messy, the people's income cannot keep up, the government decrees are unclear, and the atmosphere is unhealthy, then you can run as far as you want. It's best to run back to your mountain gate.

, otherwise I will show no mercy!"

Zhong Shanren was stunned, his head lowered, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

When he looked up again, Ling Xin'an's figure had disappeared.

Inside the Ling Mansion

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

, In Ling Xue's room, Ling Xin'an sat on the edge of the bed, holding Ling Xue's hand and said: "Xue girl, you must wake up. I have found the person who assassinated you. Don't worry, we will deal with it together after you recover.

them."

Xia Xiaoyu waited on the side and said: "Sir, have you caught him?"

Ling Xin'an shook her head: "It seems that things are not that simple."

"Leader Guo said it was Du Jiabao, but Du Jiabao has no enmity with you."

Ling Xin'an said: "Whether it is true or not, the Du family is indispensable for suspicion. What I am more worried about is Gui Congrong. No matter how I look at it, I don't think it is so simple. I found him so quickly. Even if he didn't expect it, I still feel that there is something wrong."

There is someone else behind the scenes."

Xia Xiaoyu said: "Sir, please take a rest. You haven't slept a wink since yesterday. You stayed with Xueer all night last night. You can go back and take a rest. I'll be there."

Ling Xin'an shook her head: "I'm fine. If you're tired, go back and rest!"

Xia Xiaoyu said: "It's all our fault, we are too weak!"

Ling Xin'an said: "I won't let anything happen to you in the future!"

At this time, Zhong Wuyan's voice sounded outside the door: "Sir, there is news."

Ling Xin'an gently put down Ling Xue's hand, covered her with a quilt, and kissed her forehead gently. This scene fell into Xia Xiaoyu's eyes, and her heart trembled again.

"Sir, Gui Congrong admits that he is a member of the Tongtian Sect." Zhong Wuyan said.

"How long have you been asking?"

"Less than an hour!"

Ling Xin'an pondered, stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."

Walking into the prison, Ling Xin'an saw the man with an aquiline hook whose limbs had been stopped from bleeding. At this time, he looked at Ling Xin'an who walked in with a calm face, without any disturbance.

Gui Congrong looked at Ling Xin'an who walked in. At this time, he was only wearing his underpants. His brown and black skin looked like a black man in later generations. His body was covered with scars. He was gasping for air. Looking at Ling Xin'an, he spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm.

He spit it out.

Ling Xin'an dodged and said coldly: "Tongtianmen?"

Gui calmly said: "Huh, Ling, you killed our elder, do you think we won't retaliate?"

Ling Xin'an smiled and said: "I don't care whether Tongtianmen takes revenge or not, but I do care about you."

Gui Congrong's face was slightly startled, but he still said angrily: "Even if you kill me, the Tongtianmen disciples will avenge me."

"Don't drag Tongtianmen into trouble. You are not from Tongtianmen." Ling Xin'an said.

Gui Congrong's expression changed, and Ling Xin'an said to the eagle-hook man next door, "You are not from Dujiabao either."

"If I guess correctly, you should be deserters!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Gui Congrong and the eagle-hook man changed drastically, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ling Xin'an looked at them and said: "It seems that I guessed right, you are indeed deserted people!"

Everyone was surprised, even Guo Song and Zhong Wuyan couldn't believe it.

"You have really done a lot of intelligence reconnaissance beforehand. You all know everything about the festival between me and Tongtianmen. You must have found out in Jiangzhou City, because here, everyone knows that I am with them.

The grudges between us." Ling Xin'an said.

Gui Congrong and the aquiline man remained silent.

Ling Xin'an smiled and said: "I know even if you don't tell me, the growth of Jiangzhou City is too dangerous for you, right? You deserters want to occupy Zhaozhou, along the Wu River, into the Li River, to Juzhou, and then into the Yangtze River, and

The first stop on the Yangtze River is Xinzhou, Yuanzhou. Yuanzhou and Xinzhou are located at the end of the Yangtze River. There is no danger to defend.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

As long as they occupy the Yangtze River coast, the deserters can continuously occupy Yuanzhou and Xinzhou from both sides. To enter Qingzhou, you must occupy Jiangzhou. However, you will never be able to go north to Jiangzhou. In addition, I am now the prefect of Wuzhou.

When the time comes, Xinzhou and Yuanzhou will definitely develop, so I want to assassinate the people around me, and then stir up disputes with the rivers and lakes to reap the benefits."

Gui Congrong and the eagle-hook man looked pale. Looking at Ling Xin'an, they felt fear in their hearts for the first time. The man in front of them was not only a man with superb martial arts skills as rumored in the world, he could govern Jiangzhou City and turn his hands into clouds and rain. The most terrifying thing was this

Man's plan.

"It seems that General Dugu has defeated you steadily!" Ling Xin'an said.

The four generals and Marshal Dongfang fought against the five barbarians at the same time, so one general led the soldiers to fight against one barbarian tribe.

Gui Congrong regained his composure and said coldly: "Haha, what's the proof?"

Ling Xin'an looked at him and said: "Just what you said is the proof. If they are really from Tongtianmen and Dujiabao, and I heard that they are desolate people, they will definitely refuse to admit it, and you even

There is no refutation. Again, and most fundamentally, they don’t dare to mess with the Xianqing Sect at all. Even if they want to kill the Xianqing Sect disciples, they will definitely silence them instead of letting them escape. But your goal has been running from the beginning.

People from my own ranks are here, so I didn’t believe you were from the martial arts world from the beginning.”

After saying that, Ling Xin'an turned and left, telling Guo Songdao: "Please dig up information about the deserted people for me. Don't let them die. Don't let them sleep. We torture him in turns every day and don't give him water or water."

Go to sleep, torture him for a few days first, don't let them die!"

"Yes, sir!"

…

Ever since they learned that Gui Congrong and the Ying Gou man were desolate people, all the chambers of commerce and suppliers who had been in contact with them were frightened and were invited to the government office. The whole Jiangzhou City became turbulent, and some chambers of commerce came to plead guilty.

Take the initiative to distance yourself from contacts with Gui Mansion and Yanxiang Pavilion.

Soon, three days later, Guo Song handed over the news.

Gui Congrong and the other two were indeed desolate people, and the general situation was indeed as Ling Xin'an said, but the reason that made them attack Ling Xue was actually that Ling Xue went out every other month. In their opinion, Ling Xue was acting for Ling Xue.

Xin'an transferred his wealth and attacked her in order to capture her and obtain Ling Xin'an's wealth.

Ling Xin'an felt sorry for him, Ling Xue went out just to deal with the mineral deposit chambers of commerce. Since the smelting plant was established, many chambers of commerce knew that they had been cheated by Ling Xin'an and went back to looking for ores.

Through Gui Congrong and Eagle Hook Man, Guo Song and Zhong Wuyan killed some local spies. The Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce looked at those colleagues who had been killed and when they learned that they were enemy spies, they had to form a camp again.

The chambers of commerce that made fortunes with Ling Xin'an in the past have become a gang in Jiangzhou, and they are also the largest gang. They trust and follow Ling Xin'an and will never do anything that harms the interests of both parties. Foreign chambers of commerce have become another group.

A group of people wanted to gain a foothold in Jiangzhou City, so they had to stay together and resist the expansion of the local chamber of commerce. Because it was later, they were all mixed up, and it was this group that got into trouble.

Fortunately, Ling Xue, who had been in a coma for four days and five nights, finally opened her eyes. Looking at the awakened Ling Xue, everyone's hearts finally fell. Half a month later, Ling Xue could finally get out of bed and walk, and learned that Ling Xin'an was...

Everything I have done is very touching.

At this time, Xia Xiaoyu and Ling Shuang had already ran into the practice room every morning, put on tight clothes, and asked Ling Xin'an to teach them martial arts in person.
