Chapter 984: Jianghu crackdown

The rain in the capital was pouring!

The first heavy rain of the year arrived, and the low-lying areas of the capital had already begun to accumulate water, appearing waterlogged.

Because the errand was handled poorly, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was criticized, and Xiao Jincheng took the blame for his subordinates to keep his position.

Qi Wuxiu ran to Chen Guanlou's house to drink and relieve his boredom, sighing.

He didn't want to go home; his wife at home would ask this and that. He didn't need care now, just wanted to relieve his boredom.

Chen Guanlou looked at the pouring rain outside the house and tsked twice. "Such heavy rain, yet it couldn't stop you. Is it really that annoying? It's just a fine of a few months' salary, is it worth it?"

"It is! With only the last hundred miles left to the capital, we capsized in the gutter, and the prisoner was lost. These Jianghu scoundrels are bold and reckless. They actually dared to rob people under the eyes of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. However, those above said that after a period of time, they will launch a crackdown on the Jianghu martial arts world to fiercely kill the arrogant flames of the Jianghu people!"

"Crackdown?"

Chen Guanlou was surprised.

He was very curious. "How are you going to crack down?"

"We have our own news channels and our own ways of doing things; you don't need to worry about this."

"Those sects, are you going to crack down on them too?"

"People above will negotiate with the major sects separately, letting the major sects manage their disciples well. Do not commit crimes during the crackdown. Once they fall into our hands, during the crackdown, we will not recognize anyone!"

Qi Wuxiu gritted his teeth, and at the same time, he looked very excited. He couldn't wait to participate in the crackdown and fiercely strike down the arrogant flames of the Jianghu people!

Chen Guanlou scratched his head; he didn't expect the Embroidered Uniform Guard to do things this way, actually choosing to crack down. He hoped Zhuang Yifei would hide well and not be beaten away. Life only has one line, and saving a life only happens once; there won't be a second time!

"It should be cracked down!" he echoed casually. "By then, the Imperial Prison will be full, and the Heavenly Prison can rent out cells."

Qi Wuxiu laughed happily upon hearing this.

"I heard it's ten taels of silver per person."

"Ten taels of silver per month. If there are many prisoners, we can offer a discount. However, the weather is so hot, it's not suitable for too many prisoners in the cells, to avoid epidemics. There won't be this worry in autumn and winter; locking three, five, seven, or eight people in one cell won't be a problem."

"Prison is still profitable!" Qi Wuxiu sighed softly.

Chen Guanlou mocked him. "If you envy prison for making money, you can apply to work in the Imperial Prison. The Imperial Prison makes much more money than the Heavenly Prison."

Qi Wuxiu shook his head repeatedly, firmly refusing. He wouldn't even step into the Imperial Prison, let alone work there. He worked in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, responsible for monitoring suspects, catching prisoners, and escorting prisoners—work that didn't require suffering moral self-judgment, self-doubt, and self-denial.

Many times, for big jobs, such as big jobs that required knives and killing people, he would take the initiative to avoid them.

It was also because of these reasons that his income couldn't compare to his colleagues.

When all is said and done, in this line of work, the moral bottom line cannot be too high, otherwise, it's oneself who suffers.

Fortunately, he only judges himself and doesn't judge others.

Over the years, he has also learned not to look and not to take it to heart. Most of the time, he stays out of it!

"Do you still remember a few years ago, I took in an apprentice named Wang Wu." Qi Wuxiu suddenly mentioned this matter.

Chen Guanlou nodded. "I remember! He was finally exiled. Why do you suddenly mention him?"

"I received news that he killed a local official and led a group of rebels into the mountains to raise a flag and rebel!"

Wow!

Chen Guanlou sighed. "When I first saw your apprentice, I knew that kid wasn't simple; he wasn't afraid of killing, and he would even grow to like killing, enjoy killing, and become a true killing demon. I remember, at that time, I even suggested letting that kid change his profession and become an executioner. The most suitable legitimate profession for him in the world is only an executioner. I didn't expect that even after being exiled, he wouldn't be peaceful and would actually dare to raise a flag and rebel!"

He is a character!

Sure enough, he has the potential of a killing demon.

Qi Wuxiu, however, looked like he regretted it. "I should have listened to you at the beginning; maybe he would have finished his apprenticeship by now. It wouldn't have come to this..."

"Looking at you like this, you aren't planning to go south to catch him yourself, are you? He raised a flag and rebelled; the local government will naturally clean him up. If the local government can't clean him up, let the local army be dispatched. There's always one that suits him."

"I do want to go south, but those above definitely won't approve. I just can't figure out why he is so bold, actually daring to raise a flag and rebel?"

"What makes you think he is timid? I said it at the beginning; that kid is suitable to be an executioner. Have you ever seen an executioner who gets excited when seeing blood who is a coward? He is bolder than everyone! He'd better not do it big; once he does it big, I don't know how many people will die."

With Wang Wu's bloodthirsty nature, this guy rebelling definitely doesn't have thoughts of becoming a hegemon. This guy is 100% just for killing, enjoying the pleasure of killing. Whether you are a good citizen or a bully, he kills them all.

This kind of rebel madman, no matter which dynasty, is a scourge.

Wang Wu is the true object that needs to be cracked down on!

He didn't even dare to imagine how unfortunate those who met Wang Wu were, and how many tortures they would encounter. A human purgatory!

Chen Guanlou patted Qi Wuxiu on the shoulder. "Don't worry too much; this kind of scourge will eventually be cleaned up."

Qi Wuxiu drank his wine. "Brother Chen, can you kill Wang Wu for me!"

Huh?

The two have known each other for nearly ten years; this is the first time Qi Wuxiu has taken the initiative to propose killing someone, and it's his former apprentice.

"You, are you sure?" Chen Guanlou looked at the other party with slight surprise.

Qi Wuxiu put down his wine glass and nodded heavily. "Must kill him! You also said he likes killing, enjoys killing, and his methods are extremely cruel. I saw his first murder with my own eyes; the ground was full of blood, and a man's intestines were dragged all over the floor..."

He couldn't go on, nearly vomiting. Although he had seen many scenes, every time he thought of the scene of Wang Wu killing people, Qi Wuxiu still felt internal discomfort.

"Now he has raised a flag and rebelled, nothing more than finding an excuse to kill, killing indiscriminately. He is my apprentice; I know him somewhat. I must not let him kill like this; I must stop him.

Relying on the government, I don't know how long it will take. In case he wanders around and becomes a wandering thief, it will be even more troublesome. Brother Chen, kill him for me. Others can't do it, but you definitely have no problem. With your foot speed, you only need a few days to solve him and completely solve this scourge!"

Chen Guanlou raised an eyebrow slightly. "Have you thought it through?"

"I have thought it through as clearly as possible. Must kill him; cannot let him live to harm innocent people."

Qi Wuxiu's determination was great. Clearly, this matter was the real reason for his annoyance.

"Fine! I also think keeping him is a scourge! When he was in the Imperial Prison, if it weren't for your sake, I would have already killed him. Letting him live for a few more years was indeed a mistake."

Qi Wuxiu smiled bitterly on the spot; it was all because his heart was too soft. ===== CHAPTER 985 =====
