Chapter 9 The Tiger Gradually Emerges from the Water

Chapter 9 The Tiger Gradually Emerges from the Water
He took office on Wednesday and was riding high.

Zuo Jing was at home, carefree.

The words are divided into two parts.

On the Wufutang side, Zhao San was in a terrible predicament.

The eighteen kinds of cruel tortures were used in turn, and even the toughest man was tortured beyond recognition.

But they just wouldn't budge.

a whole day.

at dusk.

Shangguan Ji, the owner of Wufutang, rushed over upon hearing the news. With his hawk-like eyes and wolf-like demeanor, he was clearly a ruthless and powerful figure. However, when he saw Zhao San, who was barely recognizable as a human, he was also shocked: "Whose family is he? Why is he so stubborn?"

aside.

Ni San, the accountant of Wufutang and a confidant of Shangguan Ji, looked worried: "Master, if this person has a personal grudge against Qin Pengcheng, that's fine. If he's all alone, that's also fine. What's scary is that he's not fighting alone, and crippling Qin Pengcheng isn't just for revenge. If he's targeting Wufutang, then that's troublesome."

Such a man—

Going through fire and water, cutting straight to the point.

They were subjected to severe torture to keep their mouths shut.

Where would a simple role be found?
If they were sent on orders, then those who could send out such thugs who were almost like suicide squads were clearly not good people.

Wei Sheng shouted, "There was no one who ordered it. In my opinion, it was Qin Pengcheng, that spoiled brat, who had offended some enemies outside and came to take revenge. It just so happened that he made his move at Wufutang."

He has a simple mind.

Shangguan Ji frowned: "Such loyalty and unyielding spirit, if he were my subordinate, I would definitely keep him by my side and would never let him go on a mission to his death."

Even if a man as tough as this is slightly weak, he is still a precious gem.

Who would be willing to do that!

Shangguan Ji instructed Wei Sheng: "Interrogate him again, but don't kill him. Find out if no one is behind this, and see if you can recruit him."

Wei Sheng exclaimed in surprise, "Senior brother, he's just an ordinary person."

Shangguan Ji laughed: "What I value is not his strength, but his ruthlessness."

With that kind of ruthlessness and backbone, as long as it can be put to use, there are countless things that can be done in the future.

As for how to subdue them—

“That’s easy.”

"If we save him, we'll repay him with our lives."

Shangguan Ji gave a little guidance.

Wei Sheng understood: "Senior brother, leave it to me!"

However, "The Qin family won't let this go easily. Senior brother, you didn't see it, this guy is incredibly ruthless. He crippled Qin Pengcheng, crippling all five of his limbs!"

What should we do if the Qin family wants someone?
"Cold salad!"

Shangguan Ji laughed and said, "Just say he died, was chopped up, and fed to wild dogs."

Death has no evidence.

What could the Qin family say?
Shangguan Ji is not afraid of the Qin family.

What he feared was that behind that hothead were other hotheads.

Although he is highly skilled, he is not afraid of being ambushed.

But Wufutang couldn't withstand it!
As the saying goes, the soft fear the hard, the hard fear the ruthless, the ruthless fear the stubborn, and the stubborn fear the reckless.

What if every now and then he goes around causing trouble or killing people in the casino?

Is he even going to continue his business?

I hope it's not!

……

Shangyang.

Qin family.

The head of the family, Qin Shaohu, was known as "Master Qin." Despite his rugged appearance, he was pretentious and cultivated his refined taste by writing calligraphy to calm his mind.

This day.

He is writing.

Suddenly someone came to report: "Master, something terrible has happened!"

Qin Shaohu's hand trembled, ruining the writing. His face darkened: "You must remain calm in the face of important matters. Have you all learned nothing from what I taught you?"

He shouted, "Get out and start over."

The man was anxious and hurriedly retreated, only to start over again.

Or not.

After several repetitions, a sense of helplessness and anxiety were worn away.

Got it!
If the master isn't in a hurry, why is he?
Once I adjusted my mindset, I immediately calmed down.

Qin Shaohu nodded: "That's right. Speak, what is it?"

The servant bowed leisurely and replied slowly, "Young Master Pengcheng was gambling at Wufutang when someone severed his tendons in his hands and feet, crippling his genitals. He is currently being treated at the clinic, and his life hangs in the balance."

……

"How brave!"

Qin Shaohu's eyes widened, and he slammed his hand on the desk, shattering it. He demanded of the servant, "Why didn't you tell me about something this important sooner?!"

The servant looked utterly terrified and said, "Master, please forgive me!"

He thought to himself with schadenfreude, 'So now they're not talking about 'calmness' anymore?'

Qin Shaohu was both ashamed and angry, furious and resentful. He raised his palm, which was as red as if it were on fire, and slapped it down on the servant's head.

The servant died on the spot.

Qin Shaohu sneered, "You dare to laugh at me? You're asking for death!"

He took Qin Pengcheng's biological mother, Aunt Zhao, to the martial arts school to see his son.

"My son!"

"My son is so pitiful!"

"Master! Master! You must avenge Pengcheng!"

Aunt Zhao, still charming, wept all the way, her face streaked with tears.

When she arrived at the clinic and saw her son on the sickbed, she cried so hard she almost choked and died.

Thank goodness I didn't cry myself to death. Now let's look at Qin Pengcheng.

The former playboy has fallen into ruin, lying in bed unable to move, no longer able to go out and bully others for pleasure. This is worse than death for him.

Aunt Zhao was also upset.

She has only one son.

The son is favored by his mother.

A mother's status depends on her son.

The mother and son are interdependent.

But now——

"Master~"

"My son is ruined!"

Aunt Zhao cried until her tears ran dry.

Qin Shaohu was annoyed by the crying: "Enough! Always crying! If you hadn't spoiled this little beast so much, he wouldn't be in this state!"

That's what they say, but Qin Pengcheng is, after all, Qin Shaohu's son. He can discipline him, but others can't.

Moreover, if he, as the father, doesn't show any reaction after his son is crippled, others will think that the Qin family is easy to bully.

"do not Cry!"

“I will personally go to Wufutang, arrest the murderer and execute him on the spot, and then have Shangguan Ji of Wufutang personally come to apologize.”

Qin Shaohu felt less heartache and more anger.

He needed to vent.

Let people know—

"The Qin family must not be humiliated!"

……

Zuo Jing completely disregarded the Qin family, the Wufutang, and Zhao San.

It's not that we'll ignore it.

It hurts.

"It hurts too much."

Zuo Jing possessed Zhao San and wanted to chat with the people from Wufutang for a while, but he was kicked away as soon as he possessed him.

Damn it!

Those bastards from Wufutang used too much torture on Zhao San. Zuo Jing only possessed him for a second, and it was excruciating.

He couldn't bear it.

Forget it.

tell you later.

He set aside his energy to organize another task he had done that day: some intelligence he had gathered in another field—

"Martial Arts School!"

There are forty or fifty martial arts schools of all sizes in Shangyang City.

Zuo Jing dispatched assassins today to scatter throughout Shangyang City, inquiring about everyone, regardless of rank.

"Half of them are small in scale, with fewer than fifty people, and some even have only a few apprentices."

"It can only be considered a small martial arts school."

"There are thirteen large martial arts schools with more than fifty people, which can be called large martial arts schools."

"The three most renowned martial arts schools all have more than a hundred members—"

"First, the Eight Immortals Martial Arts School teaches 'Eight Immortals Fist'."

"Secondly, there is the Wuzhuang Martial Arts School, which teaches 'Wuzhuang Fist'."

"Thirdly, there is the Sanhuang Martial Arts School, which teaches the 'Sanhuang Fist'."

Here:
The Eight Immortals Martial Arts School has the most expensive tuition, costing at least 20 taels a year, which is unaffordable for ordinary people.

The five martial arts schools take the longest to graduate; even ten years of arduous training may not guarantee success.

The training at the Sanhuang Martial Arts School is the most arduous, often resulting in injuries and disabilities, and the highest price is paid.

This is a drawback.

As for the advantages, they are actually pretty much the same.

The differences between the three schools are mainly in terms of teachers, martial arts skills, connections, and career prospects.

A person who practices martial arts.

The vast majority of them are in it to make a living, and they value finding a way out.

Those who graduate from these three martial arts schools are mostly able to work as guards for wealthy families, or as bodyguards for powerful merchants and officials.

Some of them were involved in gangs.

Some also became constables.

The three major martial arts schools have many branches and channels.

Disciples were found throughout Shangyang.

This is also one of the reasons why the three martial arts schools have stood the test of time and grown stronger.

All three are very good.

Which one should we choose?

Zuo Jing replied without hesitation: "Only children make choices, I want them all!"
