Please Kill the Demon

Holding the treasure box in his hand, and looking at it for a while, Chu Liang suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

If it was those three little ones, he wouldn't feel guilty if he touched them casually, after all, they are not very good people. But this treasure chest seems to be of great value, and it is impossible for the three little ones to have treasures worth putting in it.

This is probably their stolen goods.

If it was someone else's, Chu Liang naturally couldn't keep it for himself. But those three little ones were running so fast, even if they tried to catch them and ask who the owner was, it was impossible to ask.

After thinking about it, he decided to go back to Yipin Jianlu first, and asked Xu Sui if he could help find the owner.

When he returned to the sword hut, Xu Sui happened to be away. He must have entered the sword hut to deliver food and water to Xu Kunwu. Chu Liang sat in the lobby and waited for him, playing with the treasure chest.

At this moment, Empress Feng walked in carelessly and asked, What are you doing here?

I picked up a treasure chest and didn't know where to find the owner, so I wanted to ask Brother Xu if he could help find it. Chu Liang replied.

Open it and see what's inside, maybe you'll know who the owner is. Empress Feng said.

But this treasure chest is quite miraculous, and it should only be possible with special techniques... Chu Liang raised it and said.

Let me be your teacher, I am the best at opening treasure chests. Empress Feng smiled confidently.

After finishing speaking, she saw her stretch out a finger, scoff.

An incomparably precise purple-golden flame leaped out of her hand like a bird, lingering in the air, fleeting.

Looking at Chu Liang's palm again, there was only a thick book left, so there was no box left.

Where's the treasure chest? He blinked and asked.

It's open. Emperor Feng said calmly.

No... Chu Liang gestured at the empty space, Is it open, where is the box?

It's all open, what do you need the box for? Emperor Feng asked puzzled.

What you said makes sense... Chu Liang was speechless.

He then focused on the book in his hand. It must be of great value to be stored in such a precious treasure chest.

The master and apprentice opened it, and it turned out to be a thick account book, which densely recorded the accounts for several years.

It's all... Emperor Feng also stared at it, and said solemnly: Numbers!

Chu Liang nodded, and he pondered: This is an account that records the private transactions between Wan Beast Hall and the Wolf Fang Gang, and it is not very visible. The proceeds are taken to other places and converted into Cultivation resources, and then re-incorporated into the Spike Gang.

I suspect that this is a private sale of spirit beasts by the high-level executives of the Ten Thousand Beasts, because the Spike Gang is just a channel rather than a buyer. It stands to reason that the Ten Thousand Beasts has the background of the Whale Gang, let alone in the Taotie City, even if it is not needed in Kyushu. This kind of high-dividend channel.

If there are high-level officials who are harming the public and benefiting private interests, then it is completely justified. The reason why this account book is kept tightly is not because it is so precious, but because once it is discovered, this dirty business will be exposed.

It is so easy to launder money in this world, as long as you go out and come back and say that you found treasure somewhere in a secret place or in a dangerous place. There is no way to find out the huge amount of property of unknown origin. It only needs to be replaced with a natural treasure to hide it carefully. If you want to thoroughly investigate these tricks from above, the only thing that is wrong is the number of monsters in the Hall of Thousand Beasts...

The arrival of Xu Hongqiu, the eldest lady of the Whale Gang, the turmoil in the Ten Thousand Beast Hall, the behavior of the middle-aged man who rushed to kill last night... because of this account book, they were suddenly connected in Chu Liang's mind.

I see.

He showed a dazed expression.

The Empress Feng was at the side at a loss, You can tell so much from this pile of numbers? What's the code?

well.

Chu Liang sighed silently, not blaming her.

Master is already very good at fighting, if he is more educated, how can others mess around?

At this time Xu Sui also came back from the door, and when he saw the two of them, he greeted them: Senior, Young Master Chu, are you here to find me?

Yes. Chu Liang raised his head and asked, Brother Xu, I want to ask you who is the shopkeeper of the Ten Thousand Beast Hall?

Huh? Hall of Beasts... Xu Sui was stunned, and thought about it: That is an important property of the Whale Gang. It is a master named Xu, who seems to be called Xu Nanling.

Chu Liang smiled slightly, it was really him.

...

Later, two uninvited guests ushered in the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall.

Because the name reported by the other party was Shushan Empress Feng, Xu Hongqiu put aside what she was doing and came out to greet her in person, followed by Xu Nanling, Elder Cang Xing, and two teams of Whale Gang subordinates.

It can be said that everyone who can fight in the Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts has come.

The junior whale gang, Xu Hongqiu, has long admired the name of the senior. When she saw the emperor's daughter Feng, she took the lead in bowing her head and saluting.

Then he raised a pair of bright eyes, and looked directly at the emperor's daughter Feng, her aura was not inferior.

The emperor's daughter Feng did not put any pressure on her, but put her hands in her sleeves, glanced at her lazily, and immediately smiled: Oh, you are Xu Bashan's daughter? He is so ugly that he can give birth to such a beautiful little girl like you. Baby, it's really...

Master. Chu Liang tugged at her sleeve lightly.

What's the matter? Didn't I greet her first, courtesy first and then soldiers. Emperor Nvfeng turned her head and said in a low voice.

Well, redefine Courtesy.

The Nanguan City case was thanks to the help of my seniors, my mentor and my apprentice, to clean up the door of the Whale Gang. I have been looking for an opportunity to solemnly thank my seniors. It's just that I have been involved in business here recently, so I didn't make it. It's really a junior Ashamed.

Xu Hongqiu didn't change his face, and showed some courtesy to Emperor Nvfeng.

Hey—— Empress Feng waved her hand, and said indifferently: There is no need to mention things like eradicating evil. I do a hundred or eighty things every year. I am here today mainly to ask about what happened last night.

Last night? Xu Hongqiu looked at Chu Liang.

Alas... Chu Liang sighed and made a gesture of twitching, I kept saying that I'm fine, it's all a misunderstanding, but the master insisted on pulling me to ask about the situation... Cough cough cough!

As he spoke, he coughed heavily.

There's no other way, it's not good for him to suddenly turn his back on him after he left so righteously last night. So the master and apprentice discussed before they came, one would sing the red face and the other would sing the bad face.

My apprentice is honest and upright. Emperor Nvfeng expressed her heartbroken, He is easy to be bullied when he is out of the house. As a master, I can't protect him. I just came to ask, who beat him last night? I'm an apprentice?

Senior, this matter is our fault... Xu Hongqiu looked troubled, and was thinking about how to explain it to Empress Feng.

Xu Nanling's face froze at the back, he was not a fool, so he could see that the master and apprentice were here to find fault.

Most of them will blackmail people.

But he was not afraid at this time.

Because after the turmoil in the Ten Thousand Beast Hall last night, all the monster deficits were included in the losses. Although it was very doubtful, there was no definite evidence, and his position was still unshakable.

Even if Xu Hongqiu came with a command arrow, he couldn't do anything to him.

In fact, he has always looked down upon Xu Hongqiu. Because this is basically the little girl he watched growing up, she is not yet twenty years old this year, what can she do?

Now that Xu Hongqiu was the first to admit his mistake, he was a little displeased.

If he admitted that it was Wan Beast Hall's fault, wouldn't that be the same as admitting that it was Xu Nanling's fault alone? What this little girl did was not only to make others feel bad, but also to be blackmailed, and she even sold herself out.

To say that she is incompetent is really enough. If this matter is handled by someone with experience in the world, he must kill himself. That's right. At best, it is a misunderstanding.

So he stepped forward and interrupted Xu Hongqiu loudly, I hit it!

Take the momentum first.

In the blink of an eye, he had already thought up all kinds of plans in his mind. No matter how Emperor Nvfeng asked him to be held accountable, he was confident that he could refute them one by one and let the other party return without success.

Unfortunately, the imaginary war of words did not happen.

Seeing him suddenly stepping forward and interrupting him loudly, Emperor Nvfeng retracted her smiley eyebrows, put her left foot on the ground, raised her right leg, and kicked in the air.

Bang——

Rumble!

This kick seemed neither fast nor heavy, but it hit Xu Nanling's chest, and his figure disappeared from the hall in an instant. Immediately afterwards, there was a bang on the lobby wall, then another bang on the outer wall of the courtyard, and then another bang on the wall of the shop across the street...

Every time there was a roar, the faces of everyone in the Ten Thousand Beast Hall trembled. Finally, after six or seven roars in succession, the sound stopped.

This seemingly easy kick kicked Xu Nanling three blocks away!

Empress Feng lowered her legs and dug her ears with her left hand. She looked in the direction where Xu Nanling disappeared with a displeased expression. She didn't know who she was talking to and asked:

Why are you so loud?
