Chapter 58: Xiu'er! (Please ask for follow-up reading, old men!)

*Whoosh——! * Qin Jiang waved his hand, and the palm wind dispersed all the smoke and dust and thin mist.

Lifting his foot, looking into the pit, the wedding dress skeleton's body had broken into two sections, but the skull was still trembling constantly, and the teeth collision made a *crack* sound.

*Bang! * Stepping over, he directly stepped the skeleton's head to pieces.

Instantly, wisps of black smoke drifted from the skeleton's whole body.

Qin Jiang looked at the skeleton under his feet with some surprise. It died just like this?

Without thinking too much, he released *Sha* Qi, sweeping the entire courtyard.

A moment later, he frowned slightly. None? How could there be none? Could it be that that night, the elder sister didn't encounter a weird entity, but was kidnapped? Thinking about it, he still had no clue, his figure gradually shrank and returned to normal.

He looked outside the courtyard. "Old Meng, pour fire oil, burn this skeleton."

"Xiu'er!"

Before Meng An could say anything, Wan'er suddenly rushed into the courtyard, directly pouncing toward the dirt pit where the wedding dress skeleton was.

Her eyes flashed with tears, and when she finally saw the appearance of the wedding dress clearly, she couldn't help but cry.

Qin Jiang stood outside the pit. "You know her? No, you can recognize her like this?"

Wan'er sobbed and wiped away her tears upon hearing this. "My Lord, I have lived with Xiu'er for more than ten years, and we are like family.

This wedding dress on her was sewn by her mother, and I have repaired it for her, so I will never recognize it wrong."

Qin Jiang nodded. "I see that you don't seem to know she is dead. You and her are like family, so there is no contact?"

Just after asking, Meng An outside the courtyard led several gang members in, holding torches and fire oil in their hands.

At this moment, their eyes were still filled with a hint of fear. Just now, they all saw the monster-like side of Qin Jiang, which was simply terrifying! I'm afraid that with a casual slap, he could shoot them into meat paste!

"Boss, the things are here," Meng An said.

Qin Jiang raised his hand slightly, signaling him not to speak, and then looked at Wan'er.

Wan'er sniffed. "Back to My Lord, Xiu'er and I met on the road when we were fleeing during the great drought in Yunzhou. Later, we fled to this place and were taken in by Aunt Lan.

Xiu'er was also a clean girl here, later she was taken a fancy to by the County Magistrate and taken as a concubine, and then we rarely contacted each other, I didn't expect... I didn't expect..."

Having said this, her emotions were difficult to control, and she sobbed uncontrollably.

County Magistrate? Song Xiaoan? Does the elder sister's disappearance have anything to do with Song Xiaoan? Qin Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Meng An. "Burn it."

"Yes! My Lord!"

Before long, a big fire ignited in the courtyard, and the fire oil Meng An prepared was top-grade goods, and the fire burned very vigorously.

Wan'er watched the corpse in the fire pit with red eyes, and Yun'er comforted her on the side.

"Boss, should we burn the courtyard together?" Meng An asked, standing beside Qin Jiang.

This time, he prepared quite a bit of fire oil, thinking that he was going to burn the entire courtyard.

"Let's not burn it for now, lock the courtyard, I'll see if there will be weird entities appearing here again after a period of time," Qin Jiang said.

Meng An was shocked upon hearing this. "Boss, do you mean there are still weird entities here?"

Qin Jiang shook his head. "Not sure yet, don't let anyone get close after the courtyard is locked."

Although the weird entity had been exterminated, what he couldn't determine was where the pure black round bead in the well came from.

If it was man-made, it would be fine. The biggest suspect was the County Magistrate, at worst, find an opportunity to kill him quietly.

But if it wasn't... This well connects to a branch of the Stone Lion River in the Inner City. If it wasn't put in by humans, it could only have flowed in through the Stone Lion River.

Thinking of the hundred acres of withered farmland outside the west of the city, it was also related to the Stone Lion River. A sense of inexplicable irritability rose in his heart, just like knowing that someone was plotting something, but he had no way to deal with it.

"Understood, Boss," Meng An said.

"Hmm, you watch it here, I'll go back first."

The next day, Kaiming Ward, Red Tiger Gang Headquarters. Today's headquarters is a bit different from other days, with a bit more murderous aura.

Even the disciples guarding the headquarters gate had been changed, with a fierce look between their eyebrows, standing straight.

"Boss, those below the deacon level are not allowed to enter today. Shall I wait for you outside?" Meng An asked behind Qin Jiang.

Qin Jiang waved his hand. "No need, it's not a big deal. You go to collect antiques, and get another batch as soon as possible these few days."

Meng An was energized when he heard this. "Boss, don't you worry! This time the people I found are reliable! Those are all old tombs over a hundred years old!"

Just after speaking, his face stiffened, and he suddenly realized, shrinking his collar somewhat timidly.

"Hehe... he..." he laughed awkwardly.

Qin Jiang looked at him with a smile. "It's okay, I don't care about this. You are so dedicated, I won't forget your credit.

After I become Hall Master, I will allocate a sum of resources to you, practice the Red Sand Palm to the third layer as soon as possible, and then promote you to the position of deacon."

Deacon!! Meng An's eyes shone. This is a deacon! I, Old Meng, can actually sit in the position of deacon?!

Hehehe! When the time comes, let Old Tian work for me, Old Meng!

"Eh! Understood! I will definitely not let the Boss down!" he promised, puffing out his chest.

After Meng An left, Qin Jiang walked into the headquarters and was led by a gang member to the Red Tiger Gang's discussion hall.

Lu Xuanwu sat quietly above the hall, blowing lightly on a teacup in his hand. On his left were three chairs, and on the right were five chairs.

At this time, someone had already taken their seats. Sitting in the second seat on the left was Chen Feng.

Sitting in the top seat beside him was a man who looked nearly fifty years old, wearing black cloth clothes, with gray-white beard, strong body, and was closing his eyes to rest at this time.

Qin Jiang recognized this person. He had heard Chen Feng mention him before. This is the Great Elder of the Red Tiger Gang, Sun Qianzhao.

His martial arts were extremely profound. Several years ago, he had practiced the Red Tiger Fist to the peak of the third layer, and now he might have practiced it to the fourth layer.

"Deacon Qin, you are here. You should know the two Elders. As for these three, they are Hall Master Kong Hai of the Second Hall, Hall Master Liu Sheng of the Third Hall, and Hall Master Sun Yi'an of the Fifth Hall."

Lu Xuanwu pointed to the right side of the hall. Three people sat in the five chairs, and the top seat and the fourth seat were empty, representing the vacant position of Head of Hall and the Fourth Hall Master position to be confirmed today.

Qin Jiang looked over. The Hall Master of the Second Hall was a burly giant who looked nearly forty years old, with iconic one-character eyebrows.

He had heard the name Kong Hai. After all, he was the only old-generation Hall Master in the gang, and the other Hall Masters of the same generation were all dead.

He didn't know the remaining two, but Sun Yi'an looked quite similar to Great Elder Sun Qianzhao.

*Trot, trot, trot. *

Before Qin Jiang could say anything, footsteps came from outside the hall. Two figures walked in, exactly Nie Dongsheng and Zhang Lin.

Nie Dongsheng sat directly in the chair on the left, glanced at Qin Jiang, and then turned to look at Lu Xuanwu. "Gang Leader, since everyone is here, let's start quickly."

Lu Xuanwu put down the teacup. "Alright, since everyone is here, there is no need to wait any longer, let's move to the Xuanwu Platform."

Having said that, he was about to stand up, but Zhang Lin stepped forward and cupped his hands toward Lu Xuanwu and the Elders and Hall Masters.

"Gang Leader, Elders, and Hall Masters, I have already communicated with Brother Qin about martial arts, and I am convinced. Qin Brother is the new Fourth Master, and I have no objection."
