emy from a disaster today.Otherwise, it would truly be as Master Li said, that when the exam hall erupts in chaos, regardless of which side suffers losses, the reputation of Luo'an Academy would be ru...Zheng Liuchun took a few deep breaths, but was still about to help Zheng Qi when the elder kicked Zheng Qi out with one foot.

It is evident that the elder's skill was unexpectedly formidable.

Just when everyone thought the old man would jump out the window to escape, he rushed towards Jiarren, raising his short knife high.

"You little brat, I've been walking the rivers and lakes my whole life, killing dozens of rich young masters. Tonight, I've actually met my end at your hands, you little bunny! Today, even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"

Just as Lu Cong was fumbling to light the oil lamp, the old man raised his short knife, his face contorted in a ferocious grin, causing everyone's hearts to turn cold with fear.

Jiarren gritted his teeth, raising his dagger to block the incoming blow. Unexpectedly, three crossbow arrows shot out from under the bed, striking the elder in the chest and abdomen.

The old man's body was pierced, gravity pulling him back a step, the ferocious expression on his face replaced with disbelief and unwillingness.

They were just a few nouveau riche youngsters. To him, they were like lambs to the slaughter, easy prey, simple as that.

How could I have lost this time!

These people don't seem out of the ordinary, but why do they carry such powerful crossbows and have such skilled servants...

What's wrong

The old man collapsed with a thud, dying with eyes wide open.

Jia Ren rushed forward and slashed at his neck again, completely severing his throat.

Zhengliu did the same, finishing off both the sharp-faced man and the burly man.

As for that woman, she has already been pierced by arrows like a porcupine. There is no need to elaborate further.

The stench of blood filled the room, making everyone's breath catch in their throats.

Finally, it was still Meow-ge who cried under the bed, "Woo woo, Big brother, I'm scared!"

Jia Ren quickly put away his dagger and rushed over to hug his younger brother, comforting him: "Don't be afraid, big brother is here, the bad guys are all dead!"

"Waaah, big brother, I killed someone! I saw him raise his knife, I was afraid you'd get hurt, so I shot an arrow. Waaah, I'm scared!"

The little cat was terrified. During his usual practice, he had even shot at some sparrows and wild chickens and didn't think much of it.

But tonight, he actually shot someone.

And under the light, he could clearly see the elder's corpse.

He hugged his brother, clutching his throat and crying desperately, as if this would somehow cry out the fear.

Lu Zonghe and Jia Xu stepped forward, wanting to offer some consolation but didn't know what to say.

Compared to Cat Brother, they were even more useless and didn't help at all.

Especially Lu Zong, he said his bodyguard would take action, but things happened too suddenly. It all took less than a few sips of tea from beginning to end, there was no time to react before it was over...

It was Li Ge'er who jumped out of bed, slapping his younger brother on the head and shouting, "Why are you crying This isn't at home! Snap out of it!"

"This old fellow wants to kill your eldest brother, you killing him would be saving your brother. When you go home, tell Grandma and your younger sister about it, your sister will definitely reward you, even your fourth and fifth brothers will be envious of you!"

"That actually worked! " Little Cat rubbed his eyes and asked, "Can I have a千裡眼 too, sister"

"Don't even talk about a thousand-mile eye, even ten thousand-mile eyes are there!" Li Ge’er understood his younger brother too well. With just one sentence, he amused Mao Ge'er.

Mao Ge immediately exclaimed, “Good. When I reach Quanzhou, I will write a letter to my younger sister and ask her to have everything ready for me.”

Seeing this, Jia Ren felt relieved and couldn't help but chuckle.

At this time, it was already noisy outside.

The commotion from the fight just now had woken up the tenants inside and the shopkeeper and assistants downstairs.

The shopkeeper and the clerk came up carrying a lantern, shouting loudly in the corridor, asking if something had happened.

Jia Ren told Zheng Liu and Zheng Qi to look after the two younger brothers, then he went out with Gou Sheng er.

Lu Zong hurried to keep up with him, Jia Xu hesitated for a moment and fell behind.

Just now, after a fierce fight, Jia Ren was covered in blood. When he appeared, the shopkeeper and his assistants were all startled and cried out.

"What's going on Murder...murdered"

Jia Ren nodded and said loudly, "Shopkeeper, we were sleeping soundly when suddenly a thief broke the window and jumped in to kill and rob us."

“However, we were all subdued and suffered casualties. We must report to the authorities and call for officers. You send a young man to lead the way!”

The shopkeeper's eyes darted around, unwilling.

Doing business, the last thing you want is to deal with people from your own guild. You always have to grease palms on a regular basis when nothing's happening. Today this clearly indicates something has gone wrong...

Thus, he remained stubbornly silent.

Lu Zong's impatience was rising, just about to reprimand them, when Jia Ren stopped him. He then said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, when one of your young men delivers water, ask him to help these scoundrels inquire about which room we are staying in and how many people are there."

"If you don't report this crime willingly, I have reason to suspect you are in cahoots with the thief!"

"No, no!" The shopkeeper finally couldn't take it anymore and quickly stopped the man. "Sir, you can't just say things like that! I'll have someone take you to report this!"

Jiārén just then took out the Hou Ye's post from his bosom and handed it to Gǒu Rè'er.

Gou Sheng'er took the notice and followed a young man away.

Jiārén and others secretly let out a sigh of relief. As long as the officials came, they would be safe for now.

Actually, Jiaren didn't want to take the post from the Marquis.

But the reputation of Zhongshan Hou's family name was only useful within Xin Du. Outside, it was far less intimidating than that of Marquis Xinting, who held a military title.

If we want the government office to not make things difficult and smoothly resolve this matter, we can only rely on the Houye's intimidation.

The shopkeeper dared not step forward, but catching the strong scent of blood, he cautiously asked: "Sir, how many bandits came Are there any injured people who need a doctor"

Jiarren shook his head and replied, "There's no need to find a doctor."

The shopkeeper also inquired, but the dog-boy and his companions returned from downstairs.

The shop owner's eyes widened, before a middle-aged man and seven or eight officers walked out from behind them.

Jiarren's eyes reddened at the sight of the man, and he cried out, "Uncle!"

Li Zhensheng took a few steps forward, sized him up and down, and asked, “Have you been hurt”

“No, Uncle. It’s all thanks to my sister’s thorough preparations.” Jiarren collected his weak emotions and quickly said, “There were four of them in total, all from the group that sold themselves to bury their father during the day. One of them was particularly skilled, we had to put in a lot of effort before we could kill them all.”

All killed!

Before Li Zhensheng could speak, the shopkeeper had already rolled his eyes and fainted from anxiety.

The most crucial thing in business is reputation. With people dying in his shop, who would dare to come back!

Li Zhensheng only glanced at the shopkeeper and didn't pay any attention. He turned his head and bowed to the leading officer, saying: "Wang Captain, you worked hard. This matter involves martial artists, and the children wouldn't be merciful. I'm afraid they have already suffered heavy losses..."

Jia Ren's uncle had received his message and hired an official to wait outside.

At this point, he chimed in, "Captain Wang, these people have accomplices. There's a beautiful woman, a man with an injured leg, and a middle-aged woman. They are probably waiting for them at their hideout.

"

"Besides, there is a young man working here who is an insider. The innkeeper knows who it is. If you want to investigate, you can get clues from him."

"Furthermore, there's an old man in this house. During our fight earlier, he ferociously said that dozens of wealthy young masters had died at their hands. This must be a huge case! If we could investigate it, it would definitely be a great achievement!"

As expected, Wang the Head Constable's eyes lit up immediately. He hurriedly cupped his hands together and went into the house... so they should belong to you.”When Jia Yin couldn't push the large box out, she stepped on a stool and sat beside it to pick through its contents."Alright then, let the brothers worry about finding w...
