I have an endless army of warriors, rampaging across the heavens.

Chapter 57 Heavens! How cruelly you have treated the Lei family! [First Update!]

"Ahhh!"

"Kill me too!"

A roar came from inside the Lei mansion, followed by a 'poof' sound as he spat out a mouthful of blood, making the sixty-something-year-old Lei Shijun appear even older.

"father!"

Lei Yuanwu had just returned to Shangyang City from Lei Family Fort.

He died young, unaware that his ancestral graves had been dug up and Leijiabao had been flooded.

He returned late and did not see the shop burned down or the key members murdered.

He went straight home as soon as he got back.

When he got home, his elderly father vomited blood.

Lei Yuanwu was shocked: "What happened?"

aside.

Lai cried out, “Damn it! Those people set fire to Lei’s shops and warehouses, and killed 66 shopkeepers and managers.”

He cried out, "Those were all old folks who had followed the Lei family for decades, and they're all gone! All gone!"

hum~
Lei Yuanwu's head was buzzing.

He couldn't believe it for a long time.

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
"The shop has night shifts."

"The warehouse has a warehouse manager."

"How could they have all been burned?"

Lei Yuanwen didn't believe it.

What Lai Da cried about most was the brutal murder of so many loyal old comrades.

However, Lei Yuanwu's primary concern was the Lei family's assets—

"Dozens of shops!"

"Dozens of warehouses!"

Even without considering the goods and supplies in the shops and warehouses, the losses to the buildings themselves alone amount to hundreds of thousands or even millions.

Add to that the goods and supplies inside, and the price will more than double again.

The Lei family's previous experience with a bank run was exacerbated by Lei Shijun's ingenious plan of "borrowing stones instead of silver," which led to a run on all banks in Shangyang Prefecture and even outside of Shangyang Prefecture.

For ordinary people, saving money in banks is easy to do—

Anyone who dares to come, just beat them with sticks.

No need to care.

But the Lei family didn't just take deposits from ordinary people; they also extracted money from small and medium-sized merchants.

These people, I suppose.

A single energy source is not very large.

But when they unite, they are not to be underestimated.

The Lei family had no choice but to sell off all the cash they had in their household.

Even though the Lei family's money shop lent out gold and silver without interest, many borrowers refused to repay the loans.

Why should I repay the loan if the due date hasn't arrived yet?
Some people are already short of money, otherwise they wouldn't borrow money in the first place, and they simply can't afford to pay it back.

Some people simply felt that the Lei family was in trouble and thought they could delay it for as long as possible, maybe until the Lei family went bankrupt, then they wouldn't have to pay back the money they borrowed.

This would be disastrous for the Lei family.

On one hand, they exchanged gold and silver.

They couldn't get their gold and silver back.

The Lei family's two-hundred-year-old wealth was almost wiped out by this bank's collapse.

Fortunately, the Lei family has a deep foundation, with numerous fixed and heavy assets in hand, and with Lei Family Fort as its backing, its ability to recover losses is extremely strong.

Give them a year or even half a year, and they'll be back to their old selves.

Unfortunately, fate didn't give us the chance!
"Oh my God!"

"How terribly you have treated my Lei family!"

Lei Yuanwu was so heartbroken after hearing this that he almost vomited blood.

He grabbed Lai Da: "Who exactly is behind this?!"

He roared, "Who is it?!"

Yes!

ridiculous!

Even now, neither Lei Shijun nor Lei Yuanwu knows who is targeting the Lei family.

Revenge is impossible.

There's no way to make peace.

Wrong!

They were extremely frustrated. As for the Qin family, they only realized after the blow that they were nothing but a fart, simply thrown out to take the blame. Their small size was no match for the Lei family.

The Qin family has been wronged.

They still have to die.

They were retaliated against by the Lei family and were torn apart alive.

The Qin family is gone now.

But that group is still around.

Doesn't this just prove that the Qin family has been wronged?
But no one cares.

Lei Yuanwu now only wants to know—

"Who is it?"

"You've ruined the Lei family!"

……

I'm not telling you~

"I won't tell you!"

Zuo Jing was like a badger in a melon patch, constantly jumping around on the assassins near Shangyang City and Lei Family Fortress, enthusiastically watching the two tragic events at the Lei family's place.

He was overjoyed.

"But this isn't the climax yet."

The real climax will come a day later—

The Lei family in Leijiabao learned of the changes that had occurred in the Lei family in Shangyang City.

The Lei family in Shangyang City needs to know about the changes that have occurred in Lei Family Fortress.

The two sides then communicated.

Wonderful!

The pain is doubled.

That's when each wave truly rises higher than the last.

Sakyo looked forward to it.

……

"I really don't know who it is!"

"Can't find it."

There were absolutely no clues.

When questioned by Liu Chunlin, the prefect of Shangyang Prefecture, the four famous constables, led by Fu Yijian, all shrugged: "Prefect Liu should know that it's not just us, the constables of the Criminal Investigation Department, who are investigating that gang of criminals. The Lei family, the prefectural government, and even all the high-ranking forces in Shangyang City are curious and investigating. It can be said that the whole city is paying attention, but so far there has been no progress."

Fu Yijian expressed his helplessness: "Even a city-wide search is so difficult. We are outsiders after all. Two hundred people may seem like a lot, but scattered throughout the vast city of Shangyang, we are insignificant. Our abilities are limited, and we are truly ashamed."

Shen Tingwen's expression was serious: "These people always operate underground. We have discovered that many tunnels have been dug under Shangyang City, which are intersecting and intricate. It would be difficult for two hundred people to investigate them all, and even two thousand people would inevitably get confused."

Zhao Xiongzhao shouted from the side, "It's not that we are incompetent, but that the enemy is cunning!"

This rough-looking guy is known as the 'strongest fighter' among the Four Great Constables. Despite his poor case-solving skills, he is still arrogant and unreasonable, making him a real character.

"Good good!"

Liu Chunlin was so angry he laughed.

He had originally planned to have the four renowned constables of the Criminal Investigation Department solve the assassination case of his son while investigating the Lei family case.

Now it seems.

That's completely wishful thinking.

"The Four Great Constables!"

"It's just a name!"

"I can't count on you!"

Liu Chunlin asked someone to send Fu Yijian and the other three away. His face was gloomy: "The yamen and the judicial department are useless. We must start this matter from the Jianghu."

Liu Chunlin wrote a letter with great speed and summoned his guards: "Send this letter to Xiyu Tower. No matter what price they ask for, agree to it. Just make sure they send men to Shangyang City as soon as possible!"

Fine Rain Pavilion!
how to say!

By analogy to the previous life, it can be regarded as a 'private detective agency'.

As we all know, there are countless grudges and feuds in the martial arts world. Sometimes, even after more than ten or twenty years, some people want revenge, while others want to repay kindness. But what can they do when they can't find their enemies or benefactors?

The Fine Rain Pavilion specializes in this kind of business, helping people in the martial arts world resolve such incidents.

When it comes to finding people, Xiyulou is second to none.

comprehend by analogy.

All in all.

If they're good at finding people, solving cases is naturally no problem for them either.

Liu Chunlin couldn't count on the bunch of good-for-nothings in the government office, nor could he count on the bunch of useless idiots in the judicial department. He could only place his hopes on the Xiyu Tower, which he had met in Hedong Province in his early years. He hoped that they, as outsiders with no ties and with their unconventional ways, could quickly solve the case and give his wrongfully deceased child justice!
This was his last simple wish as a kind and honest old father.
