Chapter 114: Fury

  Remember in one second, wonderful internet for free!

  Huang Pu's external injuries were not serious, but his soul was severely shaken by the magic of Fu Xiao and Shang, requiring a long period of rest to recover. Due to the severity of his injuries, he couldn't even transform into human form during this time, so he had to hide in his room, unseen by outsiders.

  This is not a big problem, usually without orders, the servants dare not enter his room.

  After a long conversation, Huangfu's spirit became increasingly weak, and he leaned back in his bed, propping up his pillow. However, he was still unwilling to rest, gazing at Chen Sword Minister as he slowly said: "Liu Xian's body holds righteous energy, one in ten thousand, truly making this old man deeply admire him."

  "It's just an accidental cultivation."

  "Huang Pu let out a sigh: "What a coincidence! I thought it was just empty talk, the kind of nonsense written in sacred books. Who would have thought that Liu Xian could actually cultivate and achieve this? Alas, alas, I don't know what to say..."

  Chen Jianchen blinked his eyes: "When I was young, I also thought that gods and ghosts were all nonsense."

  Huang Pu's face changed with a smile, but he didn't think that it would stir up his injury, and suddenly he was coughing painfully without stopping.

  Jianna glanced at Chen Jianchen and said with concern: "Dad, don't talk anymore, go to bed early."

  Chen Jianchen also said: "Miss Huangfu's words are extremely correct, the official has injuries on his body and should rest more. That young man will take his leave now."

  As she spoke, He and Jiao Na closed the door and went out together.

  As they went outside, Joana suddenly said: "Sir, isn't today the day that Sister Lu returns to Jiangzhou?"

  Chen Jianchen nodded, originally he had promised to go to Suzhou City today to see them off, but a series of things delayed him. Now, Wang Fu and Lu Xi should have been on their way back to Jiangzhou long ago.

  Jianna suddenly said: "Sir, before I didn't understand things, please forgive me."

  Chen Jianchen smiled and said: "Does Miss Huangfu think I'm a petty person?"

  Jianna looked at him seriously: "I only know that Mr. is different from ordinary readers, um, Mr., we should go to class now."

  The student can understand the progress so well, and the teacher cannot be slow. Just as he was about to take a step, urgent footsteps were heard outside, and soon the housekeeper Ah Fu came in supporting someone.

  Wang Fu, indeed Wang Fu.

  All he saw was that his clothes were torn in several places, the left side of his face had been punched, swollen like a big steamed bun, and his left eye could hardly be opened.

  Chen Jianchen was startled and hastily asked: "Brother Fu Tai, what happened?"

  Wang Fu saw him and shouted: "Liu Xian, we've been robbed! Lu Xiuyue has been kidnapped!"

  "What?"

  Chen Jianchen's face changed color - these days have been a series of accidents, one after another, without a moment to breathe.

  At the moment, Wang Fuzuo sat down and told them about their journey - it turned out that they had left Suzhou early in the morning and started returning to Jiangzhou. On the way, Lu Xi was somewhat disappointed that Chen Jianchen did not come to see him off.

  Just as they were passing through a forest, more than ten masked men suddenly appeared on the side, each holding a knife, and rushed in without saying a word. They knocked Wang Fu and others to the ground with a few strokes, then snatched Ruxiao Yue away. The maid Xiang'er tightly grasped Ruxiao Yue's hand and refused to let go, but was brutally killed by the opponent with one knife.

  Xiang Er is dead?

  Chen Jianchen's fist clenched tightly, he had a good impression of this loyal and innocent little maid. He didn't expect it to end like this, so unexpectedly.

  Life is as fragile as a flower, seemingly flourishing at first glance, but withering away in an instant.

  Someone was kidnapped and a murder occurred, Wang Fu's first reaction was to return to Suzhou to report to the authorities, but being unfamiliar with the local situation, he didn't know where to start, so he rushed to Hu Village to meet up with Chen Jianchen and discuss a plan.

  Suddenly such a major accident occurred, even Chen Jianchen was somewhat flustered, and after calming down slightly, he suddenly asked: "Fu Tai brother, did the other side directly abduct Lu Niangzi? Was anything else robbed?"

  "No, they didn't even take our money."

  Wang Fu replied.

  Chen Jianchen took a deep breath, his mind already made up. "No matter what, reporting to the authorities is a must. Let's go, we'll head to the Suzhou Prefecture Yamen now to strike the drum and report the case."

  "Turn back to Jiona and say: "Miss Huangdu, you'd better stay in the villa, don't run around anymore.""

  Jianna originally wanted to go with him, but her father had someone to take care of, so she said: "Sir, I will listen. Hmm, and you don't have to worry too much about finding Lu sister either, Na can let Songniang ask around...

  "It's just these two days, I don't know what's going on, Song Niang is not in the village, and I don't know where she flew to."

  Song daughter?

  A very unfamiliar name, don't know who it is...

  Ke Zhen didn't think much and hastily left the villa with Wang Fu, getting into his carriage to rush towards Suzhou City. The two carriages sped along, with Xiang Er's body placed on top of the second carriage.

  At such a young and tender age, she was already so ruthless and merciless.

  Chen Jianchen did not look at the corpse of the maid, who was said to have been stabbed in the heart with one knife, and died a very tragic death. He feared that if he looked, he would burst into tears on the spot.

  The horse carriage galloped swiftly, the whip cracking loudly, and after entering Suzhou City, it headed straight for the Suzhou Prefectural Government Office.

  The layout of the Suzhou Prefecture government office is roughly the same as that in Jiangzhou - actually, the offices of officials all over the world are roughly the same: first, they are large, occupying a lot of land and having big houses; second, they have an air of majesty, with a grand architectural style, imposing and expansive, built to inspire awe in ordinary people even before they enter.

  Outside the main gate of the prefectural government office, on top of a drum rack to the left, hung a large cowhide drum with a white face and red body.

  Chen Jianchen moved swiftly, before the carriage had even come to a complete stop, he leapt out and rushed up the steps, about to strike the drum to summon the county magistrate. However, when he arrived at the drum, he saw that there was only this one bare drum, without any drumsticks placed beside it.

  What's going on?

  He was perplexed, looking around, when an elderly official slowly walked over, took a glance at Chen Jianchen's worn-out clothes and said weakly: "Do you want to beat the drum?"

  "That's right."

  "According to the old rules, you have to pay one copper coin before you can take the drumsticks."

  Chen Jianchen had never been to the yamen before, so he didn't know these rules. He was shocked and angry: "The official is already here, now that a murder case has occurred, hurry up and ask Master Fu to ascend the hall to try the case!"

  The old official yawned and scratched his ear with a small finger, saying: "Even if you're dead, you have to pay the silver first, that's the rule."

  "Hahaha!"

  Chen Jianchen was furious and laughed, suddenly feeling a ball of flames burning in his chest, almost setting his eyes ablaze. Courage born of rage, he raised his fist and struck the drum with a loud bang.

  Bang!
