Chapter 67: An Extraordinary Night

"My Lord, this is the White Bamboo Gang!"

After Shen Yu made his decision, Lu Ze had no choice but to offer his unconditional support. At this moment, he was already exposed in the eyes of all the major powers; his past disguises were likely useless by now. Aside from boarding the boat of this new County Magistrate, he had no other option.

This new County Magistrate wanted to play a big game the moment he arrived, and Lu Ze, as the local snake, took on the heavy responsibility of being the guide. Their first stop was the nearest one, the White Bamboo Gang. One can only say, "Too bad for you, who told you to be so close."

"My Lord, the White Bamboo Gang mainly operates small gambling dens and secret brothels. They have several small gambling dens in the city, as well as hundreds of forced prostitutes. Every year, many women are tortured to death by them, and every year, many families are ruined by them, forced to sell their children and wives, with their homes destroyed!"

"Besides that, the White Bamboo Gang has hundreds of skilled fighters, and their leader is even at the Postnatal Realm... My Lord!"

Before Lu Ze could finish introducing the situation, Shen Yu beside him had already kicked the door open and entered. Such an arrogant way of entering made the many White Bamboo Gang disciples who were drinking and making merry inside pause, almost grabbing their weapons to rush up.

However, after seeing Lu Ze behind the person who entered, they set their minds at ease. They had thought someone was attacking them, but it turned out to be the debt collector; a false alarm!

"Chief Constable Lu, what wind blew you here!" A man looking like a small leader in the White Bamboo Gang immediately came up with a fawning face. "Chief Constable Lu, hasn't the tribute for this month already been given? Why have you come again today?"

"Cough, cough!" Upon hearing this, Lu Ze coughed repeatedly, not forgetting to glance at Shen Yu beside him. You bastards, are you trying to get me killed!

"Chief Constable Lu, I understand the rules!" The other party thought Lu Ze's coughing was a hint, so he pulled him over and said with a smile, "Chief Constable Lu, come, it just so happens that our White Bamboo Gang received a batch of new goods today, let you have a taste first!"

"Bastard!" Seeing the expression on Shen Yu's face beside him, and noticing that this new County Magistrate did not seem dissatisfied because of this, Lu Ze quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately after, he broke free from the other's hand and pulled out his blade with a 'shing'.

"I am the Chief Constable of Sanshui County, and I stand against evil! Your White Bamboo Gang is full of crimes; in the past, I was only dealing with you superficially. Today, do not try to claim any friendship with this Chief Constable!"

"Damn it!" Did Lu Ze take the wrong medicine today? If he stood against evil, wouldn't they all be great philanthropists?

It seemed that Chief Constable Lu wasn't here to play around today; he was here to cause trouble. With just the two of them, they wanted to cause trouble at their White Bamboo Gang? These two must be crazy!

"Lu Ze, I give you face by calling you Chief Constable Lu. If I don't give you face, what are you!"

His gaze turned cold, and the small leader secretly made a gesture. The other White Bamboo Gang disciples understood immediately. They quietly picked up their respective weapons and surrounded them with unfriendly expressions.

"White Bamboo Gang, very good!" At this moment, Shen Yu beside him suddenly spoke. The faintly transmitted killing intent made Lu Ze, who was standing very close, feel cold all over, and he couldn't help but shiver.

The situation here at the White Bamboo Gang was even more chaotic than Shen Yu had imagined. Just now, when he kicked the door open, what appeared before his eyes were scenes too horrible to look at.

Inside, a dozen or so White Bamboo Gang disciples were surrounding a table, with wine and meat spread across it, and there were several young girls at each table. These White Bamboo Gang disciples were touching these girls without any restraint, and those weak girls dared not make a sound even when in pain, with only tears swirling in their eyes.

At some tables, the White Bamboo Gang disciples could no longer hold back and went straight to the point. The girls couldn't help but cry out in pain, but instead of receiving any pity, it drew a burst of cheers and boasting, as if they were showing off something.

These people, not one of them deserved forgiveness!

"Ding-dong!" With a cold gaze, Shen Yu suddenly had a zither in his hand—a peculiar but extraordinary-looking zither—and his hands were already placed on the strings.

The familiar zither music sounded again, and Lu Ze beside him instinctively covered his ears. Although he knew it was useless, it was at least some psychological comfort.

"Bang!" Following a muffled groan, the White Bamboo Gang leader who was just greeting him a moment ago had now fallen heavily to the ground. Large mouthfuls of blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his body twitched every now and then.

Tsk tsk, probably dead as can be. Serves you right, letting you be arrogant!

"Bang, bang!" Successive sounds of falling echoed in his ears. Lu Ze couldn't help but look up; White Bamboo Gang disciples were falling one after another. The large White Bamboo Gang was utterly defeated under this terrifying zither music.

That familiar scene appeared before his eyes again. Even though he had seen it once before, seeing it again still felt shocking and terrifying. Lu Ze watched this scene with his mouth agape, unable to recover for a long time.

The White Bamboo Gang, in a few breaths, was gone!

"Chief Constable Lu, let's go, the next one!"

"Ah, yes, My Lord, please follow me!" The new County Magistrate's cold voice echoed in his ears like a muffled thunder, making Lu Ze's heart tremble. Looking at this momentum, I'm afraid this new County Magistrate really meant what he said!

For the gangs of Sanshui County, today was likely a long and terrifying night!

"My Lord, this is the Green Snake Gang!"

"Oh, I see!" Nodding at Lu Ze, Shen Yu lifted his foot and kicked the gate open with force. Then, the familiar zither music sounded in his ears again. Needless to say, the Green Snake Gang was destined to be wiped out today!

"My Lord, this is the Long River Hall!"

"My Lord, this is the White Sand Gang!"

In one night, Lu Ze took Shen Yu all over Sanshui County, visiting seven or eight gangs. Not a single gang could last more than a quarter of an hour. I say, does this master not need to recover his internal energy? Why does he look more energetic the further they go?

In the end, even Lu Ze became numb, contentedly acting as his guide. At this moment, only one thought echoed in his mind: "A freak, too much of a freak!"

For the common people of Sanshui County, this day was just like any other, with no changes. But for the various powers of Sanshui County, big and small, last night was destined to be an extraordinary night, one that would likely make the entire Sanshui County difficult to calm down for some time to come.

The sky was already bright, and Shen Yu had arrived at his last stop, which was also the first stop of the new day: the Sanshui County Government Office!

"Chief Constable Lu, have everyone in the County Government Office come to see me!"

"Yes, My Lord. Please wait a moment, My Lord, I will send someone to notify them right away!"

"Chief Constable Lu, who is this person?" Seeing Chief Constable Lu bringing a young man swaggering into the County Government Office, the Yamen Runners were also curious. Could someone who could make Chief Constable Lu so respectful be an ordinary person?

Who didn't know that this Chief Constable Lu was the best at judging people by their status? If it were an ordinary person, he wouldn't even bother with them. Moreover, the tone of that speech just now was completely commanding. Could it be some young master from a wealthy family wandering into the County Government Office for no reason?

"Presumptuous! This Magistrate Shen is the new County Magistrate. Everyone, perk up and be respectful!"

"The new County Magistrate? So young?"
