Chapter 84 The Promise to Combat Organized Crime

"Iron Pillar, break their legs."

Upon hearing Zheng Qian's order to take action, Zhang Tiezhu's blood boiled with rage.

The head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) finally assigned me a task. He walked towards the seventeen henchmen, his eyes blazing, a bloodthirsty smirk playing on his lips.

"Brothers, let's give it our all."

"Yes, there are seventeen of us. Are we afraid of just one person?"

"Go ahead and kill him."

A battle was about to break out. The henchmen of the Xinyi Gang brandished their weapons and charged towards Zhang Tiezhu, shouting as they approached.

However, having never practiced martial arts, they were easily torn apart like paper in front of Zhang Tiezhu, who was at the peak of the Skin Refining Realm.

Zhang Tiezhu's attacks were swift and precise; each punch was accompanied by a scream as he knocked one henchman to the ground.

"Good, well played."

In the crowd, someone shouted out first, and then shouts rang out, the crowd was indignant.

"Kill them, kill these beasts."

"They should have died long ago, they should have died long ago."

"Waaah, little brother, finally someone has avenged you."

“Three hundred and sixty-two people. In these three months, they killed three hundred and sixty-two people. They finally got their comeuppance.”

Zheng Qian listened quietly to the people's shouts, his anger almost burning him up.

How many evil deeds has the Xinyi Gang committed to provoke such widespread public outrage?

On the street, the henchmen of the Xinyi Gang began to panic. They hadn't expected Zhang Tiezhu to be so powerful; they started to retreat, filled with fear. However, Zhang Tiezhu gave them no chance to catch their breath. Like a tiger descending a mountain, he charged towards the remaining men.

Zhang Tiezhu used both his hands and feet, and his attacks were equally ruthless. Soon, all seventeen henchmen of the Xinyi Gang were lying on the ground, their legs broken by Zhang Tiezhu, howling in pain.

Zhang Tiezhu stood before them, his gaze icy. "This is what happens when you do bad things!"

Zheng Qian walked over, casually picked up a henchman, and said coldly through gritted teeth, "Go back and tell Feng Baqiang and Guo Zhengfeng that I will be waiting for them at Qingtaipo outside the city at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Tell them to bring all the members of the Xinyi Gang here for a decisive battle."

With a thud, Zheng Qian threw the henchman out. His killing intent surged like a spring. If it weren't for He Zuowen and He Ruoyun, he would have liked to rush to the Xinyi Gang's lair right now and wipe them all out.

At this moment, Zheng Qian was half-believing and half-doubting Lao Zhou's words. As the leader of the Xinyi Gang, Feng Baqiang really had never killed anyone from Xisi Street?

This matter must be clarified. If Feng Baqiang is a man who kills indiscriminately, then he is doomed tomorrow.

"What? He challenged our Xinyi Gang to a decisive battle at Qingtaipo?"

In the most luxurious private room of Yuncui Restaurant, Guo Zhengfeng leaned back in his chair, while Feng Baqiang stood obediently behind him, acting as his bodyguard.

Wan Gaotu knelt on the ground and said pitifully, "Yes, Chief Guo, he summoned me yesterday and threatened and bribed me. He said if I didn't respond to his call, he would kill me. I was forced to do it."

While fiddling with a small knife, Guo Zhengfeng asked casually, "Did he also call Yun Duo'er and Xu Shicai to the side room yesterday?"

Wan Gaotu nodded hurriedly, "Yes, but I was forced to go, I dared not refuse."

"Heh, as expected of people from a small place. You actually managed to get a bunch of good-for-nothings to respond to the call. What good is it?" Guo Zhengfeng stood up, walked to Wan Gaotu, squatted down, and smiled maliciously.

“Tell Zheng Qian that I will break every bone in his body at Qingtaipo at eight o’clock tomorrow morning.”

shuh...

With a flash of light, Guo Zhengfeng cut off Wan Gaotu's ear.

"Ah, my ears, my ears!" Wan Gaotu covered his ears, blood flowing from between his fingers, but dared not even think of resisting.

Guo Zhengfeng threw the ear on the ground and walked out of the private room. "This is just a small punishment for you. If you dare to be a fence-sitter again, I'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs."

As Guo Zhengfeng walked out of Yuncui Restaurant, he saw seventeen members of the Xinyi Gang crawling on the street. He sneered and walked deeper into the alley.

"Feng Baqiang, you'd better be at the forefront when we kill Zheng Qian tomorrow."

"I will only protect you, not kill anyone."

"Haha, I'll give you ten thousand taels, will you kill me or not?"

"I don't kill people."

Guo Zhengfeng and Feng Baqiang's voices disappeared into the depths of the alley. The Xinyi Gang had more than a thousand members. Guo Zhengfeng wouldn't care if a dozen or even hundreds of people died. As long as he had money, he could recruit ten thousand people.

He dared to kill not only the neighborhood headman in the street, but also the wardens, but not Zheng Qian and He Zuowen, because the higher-ups had given instructions that these two were the Fourth Prince's men.

Two hours after the Fourth Prince issued the document, he received news that He Zuowen and Zheng Qian had come to West Fourth Street. He would have eliminated the two without anyone having to arrange it.

Guo Zhengfeng, with limited power, provides unlimited support for the eldest prince's ascension to the throne.

On the street, Zheng Qian watched as the seventeen members of the Xinyi Gang crawled out of bloody trails, his heart unmoved.

At this moment, a woman with more than a dozen patches on her clothes and vacant eyes rushed into the crowd, hugged Wang Dawei's body, and knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.

"David, sob sob, you abandoned your mother and your two sons and left, how am I supposed to live, sob sob..."

"David, wake up! Let's go live in the mountains, we won't sell bread anymore, okay? Please, don't leave us, sob sob..."

Wang almost fainted from crying; her world had collapsed.

“Wang works from dawn till dusk, and I’ve never seen her rest. Now she’s going to have to suffer even more.”

“No matter how hard it is, we are not afraid of hardship as long as we have food to eat, but David has a mother to support and two sons to raise. No matter how hard she works in the fields, her family will probably starve to death.”

"What a corrupt official! He caused chaos in the David family as soon as he arrived."

"Who says otherwise? Sigh, let's go, be careful the Faith Gang comes to settle accounts."

The crowd quickly dispersed. They wanted to help David's wife, Wang, but they were also afraid. Last time, when someone helped carry the body of the person they had killed, the Faith Gang killed all of them.

Wang's hands were rough, and her fingers were covered in cracks, marks left from years of hard labor.

Zheng Qian squatted down and said softly, "Don't worry, I will help David get revenge and I will also arrange a job for you so that you and your family can live a good life in Yancheng."

Suddenly, Wang glared fiercely at Zheng Qian, "You corrupt official, kill me, kill my whole family, come on!"

She went mad. Nothing was more terrifying than the death of the only person in the family who could earn money. She slapped Zheng Qian on the head and then raised her fist to keep hitting him.

Zheng Qian just squatted there without moving, letting her hit him and vent her anger.

Zhang Tiezhu tried to step forward and pull Wang away, but Zheng Qian immediately stopped him, saying, "Step back and let her hit you."

The Wang family's power was not great, but Zheng Qian's heart ached. Wu Yanguo truly did not treat the peasants at the bottom of society as human beings.

The West Fourth Street is less than 20 miles from the Imperial Palace, yet a murder occurred in the street, and the people dared not speak out against it. This is a tragedy for the entire country.

The crowd gathered again. They saw Wang beating the neighborhood magistrate and thought Wang would be beaten to death in the street. The neighborhood magistrate punched the head of the Xinyi Gang leader and smashed it. Nobody thought he was a good person.

Unexpectedly, he remained squatting, letting Wang hit him.

"He must be a good official."

"I heard his name is Zheng Qian, and he just started working as the neighborhood head yesterday."

"I hope he will treat us well, otherwise life is too hard."

"Yes, I hope he's a good official."

Zheng Qian listened quietly to everyone talking about him, and only spoke softly when Wang Shi was tired of beating him.

“The dead cannot be brought back to life. I will help you take David’s body back. Believe me, the Xinyi Gang will disappear from Xisi Street tomorrow, and your family’s life will get better and better.”

Wang closed her eyes; she had no choice but to cry.

Zheng Qian picked up Wang Dawei's body and said loudly to the crowd, "I, Zheng Qian, stand here today to solemnly promise to every resident of Xisi Street and to everyone who cares about this land!"

His voice was loud and powerful, and every word seemed to resonate in people's hearts, evoking waves of emotion.

“I promise that there will be no more gangs collecting protection money on Xisi Street. We will crack down on all acts that violate the laws of Wuyan State and maintain peace and tranquility in the neighborhood. Every resident will be able to live and work in peace here without worrying about the intrusion of criminal gangs.”

His words, brimming with determination and resolve, seemed to bring a breath of fresh air, dispelling the gloom that had long shrouded the neighborhood.

“I promise that there will be no more oppression of the people in Xisi Street. We will establish a fair and just neighborhood management mechanism so that every resident can enjoy equal rights and treatment. Whether it is the elderly, children, or women, they will all receive the respect and protection they deserve.”

His promise was like a warm ray of sunshine, illuminating the hope in people's hearts. People began to believe that the future Xisi Street would be a place full of justice and harmony.

"I promise that life on Xisi Street will get better and better. We will actively promote the construction of infrastructure in the neighborhood, improve everyone's living environment, and enable everyone to live a good life."

Each of his promises was like drawing a beautiful blueprint for Xisi Street, giving people hope and possibilities for the future.

Finally, Zheng Qian carried Wang Dawei's body and walked towards his home.

clap clap clap...

Everyone started clapping, and they spontaneously followed Zheng Qian forward.

The fight against organized crime begins on Xisi Street.
