An Zeng sat under the willow tree and drank with the Golden Three Token to chat.

In front of them, there was a huge mess. Those who were causing trouble were beaten to the point of crying and crying for their mothers and fathers.

However, on the side of the Struggle and the Golden Three Token, it seemed so quiet that it was only the two of them.

""When I first arrived at Fringe City four years ago, the first person I recruited was Fatty Si, and the second was you.

""At that time, the two of you were the only bandits in Fringe City. Other people might say that you killed people with bloodl.u.s.t, but I know that you two never killed innocents.""

""At that time, I wanted to offer you a cup of wine, but you said that I was the Lord and that this cup of wine was not for you to drink.""

But in my opinion, there"s never been any master-slave relationship between us.

""I respected you as a person and called you "big brother". Thus, I drank one cup of wine for you and three cups for myself.""

He handed the flagon to Jin San, ""That year, the citizens of Fringe City"s King Village were robbed by the Poison Wolf Village. More than seventy people from a small village were killed.""

""Go into the Poison Wolf"s Camp with a blade in your hand. Take seven arrows and three sabers. There are two holes left in your body from the pike. Are you still wounded?""

Jin San smiled tearfully. ""Why isn"t he here? It still hurts even when it rains on a cloudy day.""

Ang nodded. ""Pull those sc.u.m over here.""

A group of men dragged a group of people with broken legs to stand in front of An Zeng. After throwing them to the ground, the group of people wailed in such a way that it made people"s ears go numb.

""Take off your coat.""

The Golden Three Token hesitated for a moment before dodging the jacket. The scars on its body were shocking to the eye.

An Zhan pointed at the scars on Jin San"s body and said, ""He didn"t fight back when you beat him up and scolded him. It was because he tolerated it, not because he was afraid of you!""

He looked towards the Golden Three Token, ""I have asked around since then, the reason why you killed your way into the Poison Wolf"s Camp is because an old grandma of the Great King"s Village cooked you a pot of porridge when you were poor and dest.i.tute.""

You said many times that if you hadn"t had that pot of gruel, you would have been dead.

""I heard that the people from the Poison Wolf"s Village ransacked the village. You rushed back from one hundred and thirty miles away in one night, but by the time you arrived, the village was already littered with corpses.""

""Then you went to the Poison Wolf"s Stronghold and killed all the bandits.""

An Xuan looked at the men lying on the ground and said, ""You dare call yourselves men in front of him?!""

The reason why he didn"t retaliate was because he didn"t want the Heavenly Ascension Sect to have someone who bullied the common people scolding them.

Do you really think that he doesn"t dare to hit you?

""Don"t dare to cripple you?""

One of the men knew that he had met a tough opponent this time. He endured the pain and begged for mercy, ""Master An, Master An, we know we"re in the wrong.""

""This is our mistake, shall we just let it go?""

A woman called after him, ""Forget it?""

How can he beat you up like this?

""I want him to go bankrupt!""

An Zeng sighed and then turned his head, ""I never want to see a woman get beaten up. Most of the time, the men who beat up women are all b.a.s.t.a.r.ds.""

""But a woman like you isn"t worthy of being a woman.""

The woman was still shrieking, ""What can you do to me?""

""If you dare to hit me, I will let everyone in the city know that your Heaven"s Enlightenment Sect is a rogue!""

""Look into their background.""

Skinny Du immediately arranged for people to investigate. In less than ten minutes, he gathered a lot of information from the nearby streets.

""These people are all from the same family, that is, Fang Gu.

All year long, they relied on touching porcelain to ama.s.s wealth, and gave Fang Shoufu a lot of filial piety, so Fang Shoufu also did not ask.

They were keeping an eye on the people who had come into the capital from outside the city. Many of them had been extorted by them to the point of losing everything they owned.

These people did not seem to be all. It was said that their group had more than one hundred people.

""I"m guessing that there are still some of them waiting outside, afraid of being beaten up and not daring to show their faces.""

""Every year, they extort a lot of money from people who enter the city from outside, and local people are bullied by them a lot,"" he said in a low voice.

The Fang family received the benefits and turned a blind eye.

An Chao nodded, ""Drag all these people into the sect, send someone to the Fang family"s residence, and ask how that Prefect Xu Zheng will handle this matter.""

Madman Qu walked over from the door, ""I"ll go.""

An Zeng nodded, ""It"s fine if you go. You"ve been there too many times, so you"re quite familiar with the route.""

Madman Qu smiled, ""I"m old, so I can run errands.""

""If you"re twenty years younger, I"ll go up and beat you, too.""

An Zizhi smiled, ""Forget it, it doesn"t hurt to hit someone. It hurts your hands.""

Madman Qu turned around and walked towards those few constables. Those constables also knew that it was not an easy fight to be dealt with. After listening to Madman Qu"s words, they came over.

The leader of the constables quickly bowed and bowed towards An Zaihai. ""Master An, we are also watching this matter. Don"t worry, if the Prefect asks us about it, we will tell him the truth.""

An Xuan said, ""It"s been tough, let me buy you a drink later.""

When those few constables heard An Zaiyue say that he wanted to buy them a drink, they knew that there were benefits to be had. After that, they became even more polite, turned around and followed Madman Qu to the Fang family"s residence.

Those women, including the old lady, were still lying on the ground, unable to get up. They were too lazy to bother about the fight, so they allowed the big men to surround them and not a single one of them was allowed to leave.

After an hour or so, those women felt that there was no point in lying down and started to curse.

Until now, they didn"t think that they would encounter a boulder that they couldn"t even chew on this time around.

These people were so greedy and greedy that they had lost their brains. They thought that An Zaihai had come to the capital from outside the city and had heard that the Heavenly Ascension Sect was very rich. Thus, they plotted to run into the entrance of the Heavenly Ascension Sect.

Not long after that, Master Liu, Master of the Fang family, and the closest confidant of the Fang family, Xu Zhengsheng, rushed over personally.

This was a man who always seemed to be humble, but Andersen knew exactly how many flowers there were in the belly of such a man.

""Master An, take a look at what"s going on, it"s so lively.""

Liu Suifeng first greeted An Xin, then leaned over and said in a low voice, ""The Prefect already knows about this matter. After making such a ruckus, he still has to leave.""

""In a moment, my men will take that Master Jin of the Golden Three to the magistrate court and casually walk through the crowd. In the evening, they will send him back.""

An Zaiyue still needed to rely on the Fang Residence to get close to the higher-ups of the imperial government. He still needed to save Xiao Qidao"s mother, Ye Yun, so he couldn"t afford to make a ruckus at the Fang Residence for the time being.

Although he hated Xu Zhengsheng and also hated Liu Suifeng, he still had to maintain his dignity and spend his money.

He smiled and replied, ""Recently, someone came to our house to bring some local specialties. Later, we will have someone send them to your house to have a taste.""

Liu Suo immediately broke into a smile, ""Master An, don"t worry. Our Fang Shun Palace is a place ruled by law, how could we allow a bunch of rascals to take advantage of us?""

""I"ll tell you what, do you want me to make this Master Jin feel wronged?""

An Zhan nodded: ""Fatty Si, you and Jin San Feng will go to the magistrate court.""

Fourth Fatty was a man with a body similar to Du"s. He immediately nodded: ""Ok, let"s go.""

Madman Qu said, ""I"ll go too.""

An Zeng nodded, ""You go as well. Bring the person back tonight.""

Liu Suifeng turned around and looked at the people who were touching the porcelain and asked, ""What do you plan to do with these people?""

""What do you think should be done?""

Liu Suifeng thought for a moment and said, ""In the end, this matter will be put down. I think it"s better this way. I"ll take him with me first, after all, I"m not at a disadvantage anyway.""

You beat them up pretty badly. I"ll teach them a lesson so that they can show off their moves in the future and not dare to cause trouble again.

""Let the man go, and this will be over.""

""As long as you take care of it.""

Liu Suifeng cupped his fist and said, ""Alright then, leave this to me.""

He sent for a few carts, loaded the men with broken legs, and left with the group of weeping women.

An Zaiyue entered the sect and saw Qu Liuxi and Gu Qianye standing side by side, their expressions all ugly to behold.

""Have you seen the ugliness of human nature again?""

Anjou asked.

Gu Qianye sighed, ""If Xiao Liu"er didn"t stop me, I would have already destroyed these people.""

Qu Liuxi replied, ""If we kill them, this matter will become a big issue. It won"t be beneficial to our Heavenly Awakening Sect.""

Gu Qianye said, ""I don"t understand. For a little money, how could a person be so ugly?""

That old woman was at least sixty or seventy years old. How could she be so ugly?

I also know about the matter of the Golden Three Token. The old granny who saved him was extremely poor in her own family, but she still used the last of her food to cook Jin Three a pot of porridge.

""We"re both old people, so why is there such a big difference?""

An Xuan said, ""Humans are the most complicated creatures. I"ve seen many times... much uglier than this.""

The crowd that had gathered outside gradually dispersed as well. Many of them were in cahoots with those who had broken the porcelain.

The reason why they didn"t dare to make a move earlier was because they could tell that the person they were fighting over really dared to make a move.

They dispersed with the crowd, occasionally turning their heads, their eyes filled with viciousness.

These people were the same as the ferocity in the eyes of the wolves on the plains, because of their greed, a degenerate greed.

After entering through the gate, An Zaixin arranged for everyone to continue practicing martial arts. Then he planned out the training plan for Xiao Qidao and Skinny Du.

There was no need for An Zaidao to hire Mr. Xiao Qidao. In this world, there were few people more powerful than him.

Even though his cultivation level was far from what it used to be, the things in his head were still there.

Xiao Qidao was very sensible, so much that it made one"s heart ache for him.

After arriving in the capital for so long, he hadn"t taken the initiative to ask about his mother, but An Zhan knew how anxious he was.

""Xiao Qidao, don"t worry. I"m working hard and will bring out your mother very soon.""

An Zhan rubbed Xiao Qidao"s head. ""What you need to do now is cultivate properly. Once you become stronger, you will be able to protect your mother in the future so that she won"t be bullied anymore.""

Xiao Qidao turned his head and looked at the wine flag hanging outside his room. ""Big Brother An Chou, don"t worry. I will cultivate properly and in the future, I won"t let anyone bully my mother or bully you or the people from our Heavenly Ascension Sect.""

""I believe you.""

Xiao Qidao clenched his fists. ""I also believe in Brother An Zou.""

An Zhan looked at the wine flag. ""Right, I"ve never asked you before. Who gave this wine flag to your mother? Do you still remember?""

Xiao Qishao carefully recalled, ""I asked mother before. Mother only told me that she asked for it from a master when she had me.""

An Zaidao thought for a moment, guessing that the sword intent on the wine flag should have been requested by Xiao Qidao"s biological father from an expert.

The former crown prince of Yan should know of his current situation. Therefore, he was worried that Ye Yun and his mother would encounter danger. After Ye Yun had just gotten pregnant, he had asked for such a sword intent.

It was unknown how Aunty Ye had managed to seal the sword intent on the wine flag.

When he was still in the city, An Zhe had borrowed the sword intent from the wine flag.

However, at that time, An Zhe was too weak, and the power he borrowed was also very weak.

An Zaiyue always felt that the true power of the banner was so strong that it didn"t make sense, and also didn"t make sense.

Perhaps, only after encountering a true expert, or when the strength of Little Seven reached a certain level, would he be able to display the true power of the sword intent sealed on the wine flag.

Time pa.s.sed by very quickly, and the night quietly slipped through the gaps between the fingers.

An Zeng looked outside and frowned slightly. ""Send someone to take a look. Why haven"t Jin San and the others come back yet?""

At that moment, Fat Four, who was covered in blood, ran into the yard with a person on his back and a person in his arms. He shouted, ""Quick, save him!""
