I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 241 Choose the Eel and Follow It

The atmosphere in Baozhilin was extremely solemn.

Huang Feihong stood in the middle of the courtyard with a serious expression, and was about to dismiss his many disciples.

However, at this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the door.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw a burly man with a fleshy face striding in with his men.

This man's name is Yan Zhendong. He claims to be from Shandong. He claims to have mastered the iron shirt skill that makes him invulnerable to swords and guns. He also threatens to open a martial arts school in Foshan. He came here specifically to challenge Huang Feihong.

Not only that, Yan Zhendong was extremely arrogant and domineering. As soon as he entered the door, he ruthlessly beat up several yamen runners guarding the door. His ruthlessness was astonishing.

Huang Feihong was so annoyed that he could only deal with a few moves casually, and Yan Zhendong was lucky enough to win.

After the victory, Yan Zhendong not only showed no sign of restraint, but became even more arrogant.

He stared at Huang Feihong with a provocative gaze and shouted, "Huang Feihong, I won too easily today. This contest doesn't count! Let's fight again tomorrow on the street. If you don't dare come, from now on, the name Huang Feihong will be written on the bottom of my shoes!"

After saying this, he left with his new apprentice.

After Yan Zhendong left, Huang Feihong frowned and worriedly called Lin Shirong and other trusted disciples to his side.

He looked around at the people in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Commander Man is already dissatisfied with me because of what happened today. Now the guards at the gate have been murdered. The government will definitely hold me responsible for this. It won't be long before the soldiers come to our door."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, looked at Lin Shirong and Akai beside him, and said earnestly: "Shirong, Akai, there is no time to lose. You should quickly pack up some money for your journey and leave here as soon as possible to avoid being caught by those soldiers."

Seeing that several people did not move, he said again: "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and leave as soon as possible."

Several people looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Huang Feihong then said to Yaca Su, "Ah Su, I didn't teach you any kung fu, so you're the one who suffers the most."

"Master, Master..." Yaca Su wanted to say something.

Huang Feihong sighed softly and said, "Don't wait any longer. Leave now. It will be too late if you are late."

After saying that, he turned and went back to the house.

Lin Shirong said to Yaca Su, "Take care. I'll go in and help Master."

After a few simple goodbyes, they prepared to go their separate ways.

But I didn't expect to hear noise outside the door again.

A large group of soldiers armed with foreign rifles rushed in with great force.

Akai asked quickly:

"Hey, what are you doing?"

However, he only dared to ask verbally and did not dare to stop it at all.

"Are the people at Baozhilin planning a rebellion?" Admiral Man walked in with a gloomy expression. "They actually dared to injure the guards at the gate. They're simply lawless."

Hearing his voice, Huang Feihong hurried out to check.

Lin Shirong followed closely behind.

"Shirong, don't follow me. Take the patient away quickly to avoid unnecessary trouble later."

The next moment, Admiral Man had already walked into the yard.

After looking around, he revealed a sinister smile and said, "Huang Feihong, I'm releasing the tiger back into the mountains just to capture all the members of your militia. If I find that you still have members of the militia here, don't blame me for being ruthless. Come, search for me!"

"Yes!" With his order, many soldiers responded in unison, the sound was deafening.

However, at this moment, Huang Feihong suddenly stepped forward, stretched out his arms to block the way of the crowd, and shouted loudly: "Wait!"

Admiral Man frowned slightly upon seeing this, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. He said in a cold voice, "Why? Do you want to stop me from enforcing the law?"

Huang Feihong patiently explained, "Admiral, the people I'm taking in here are all seriously injured. They're staying here because they're too injured to move. I beg you to be kind and not disturb them, as this might worsen their condition!"

Upon hearing this, Admiral Man snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "So, I misunderstood you? Whether or not there are any members of the militia? A simple interrogation will reveal the truth. I'm going to catch you off guard and arrest you to see how many remnants of the militia you're harboring! Come on, search!"

After receiving the order, the soldiers rushed into the house like hungry wolves.

He happened to see Yaca Su helping someone escape through a small window and immediately shouted, "Something's happening over there. Someone's climbing over the wall and leaving."

The soldiers rushed over quickly. Huang Feihong saw that the situation was not good and shouted, "Shirong, don't do it!"

Lin Shirong, who had a bad temper, had long disliked these soldiers. When he heard Huang Feihong's order, he was a little bit incredulous. "Master, what did you say?"

"Get started!" Huang Feihong ordered again.

After hearing this, Lin Shirong immediately acted as if he had received an imperial decree and cursed the Manchu governor: "Manchurian dog!"

Admiral Man was like a powder keg with a lit fuse, striding straight to Lin Shirong.

He roared loudly, "How dare you, you ignorant fellow, insult me?"

Facing the aggressive Admiral Man, Lin Shirong remained calm and collected, only snorting in disdain.

Then, he shouted, "Overlord, lift the tripod!"

As he roared, his arm muscles tensed, veins bulged, and he threw a punch with overwhelming force.

This sudden attack was extremely fast and powerful, catching Admiral Man off guard.

There was a dull thud, and Admiral Man's body staggered back several steps like a kite with a broken string, and finally crashed heavily into a carved pearwood chair.

The extremely sturdy chair couldn't withstand such a huge impact and fell apart with a snap.

The soldiers who were ordered to capture people turned around and looked after hearing the noise behind them.

When they saw that their immediate superior, Admiral Man, was beaten so badly, they were all horrified and hurriedly turned around to save the situation.

Ah Kai, who had hurried over, saw that the two sides had already started fighting and quickly asked, "Did the master give us permission to fight?"

While Lin Shirong continued to fight with Admiral Man, he took the time to respond, "Approved!"

After receiving a positive response, Akai immediately cheered up and shouted, "Alright! Then teach these sons of bitches a lesson!"

Before he finished speaking, he and Lin Shirong launched a fierce attack, using their hands and feet, and attacked the surging soldiers like a storm.

For a moment, shouts and sounds of fighting filled the entire courtyard.

When Baozhilin became one of the best.

Shen Lang is completing his second charge against the three people.

Aunt Thirteen glanced at the time and said anxiously, "It's so late, you should leave quickly."

"Yes, husband, you should leave quickly, otherwise you will be blocked by others." The Ninth Miss also followed.

Facing the two people's urging, Shen Lang said calmly: "Why leave? You are now responsible for the expansion of my Shen family. If I leave, what will happen if the government officials catch you?"

He had no intention of leaving, he was just looking for an excuse to leave and come back.

As the saying goes, when three people walk together, there must be one who can make me wet. I will choose the ones that are good and follow them, and change the ones that are not good.

Because he is an eel, and Thirteenth Aunt is thin-skinned. She will definitely not agree without a suitable excuse.

So he used a little trick.

Hearing this, Aunt Thirteen was stunned for a moment. "You didn't plan to leave from the beginning, did you? Otherwise, how could you still have the leisure to think about branching out?" "How could that be?" Shen Lang denied it flatly. "I just changed my mind at the last minute. As the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes, so I decided to stay."

Seeing that it was getting late outside, he said, "The government officials haven't come for so long, I'll go out and take a look."

We should deal with the government and foreigners as soon as possible so that we can have time to do our real work.

It would be unpleasant to be disturbed later.

Then he withdrew.

A bang.

Since Thirteenth Aunt left.

Thirteenth Aunt asked worriedly, "What are you going to do? How about asking Tieyan to help you?"

"No need, Tieyan will stay to protect you." Shen Lang said, "I can handle it alone."

Tieyan nodded and said, "That's good. In case someone from the government comes to take them away secretly, I will keep them here to protect them. If anyone wants to take them away, I will definitely be able to protect them. You should be careful."

Shen Lang kissed the three of them on the cheek and said, "Don't worry, I can handle it."

He added, "Remember, no matter how good your martial arts skills are, you're still afraid of kitchen knives. If you encounter a foreign gun, don't confront it head-on."

After giving a few instructions, he stood up, put on his clothes and left.

Just arrived outside the Shen Mansion.

He met Admiral Man, who had just returned from Baozhilin, and his men.

These people also held Huang Feihong in custody.

"What's going on?" Shen Lang asked casually.

Huang Feihong replied, "Uncle, the Admiral thought I was involved in today's incident, so he took me back to the government office."

"But the way back to the government office doesn't seem to pass through here." Shen Lang asked again, "Did you change the route temporarily?"

Admiral Man interrupted, "I'm not changing my route at the last minute. I came here specifically to ask you to go to the yamen to investigate today's case. I hope you won't make things difficult for me."

He had just been beaten up in Baozhilin and was now afraid of being beaten again, so he didn't even dare to use the word "official" when referring to himself.

"Let's go to the government office. I'm also planning to meet the people you arrested today." Shen Lang agreed immediately. "Let's go."

Seeing that he agreed, Admiral Man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After the group arrived at the yamen.

Shen Lang casually asked, "Hasn't those people been tried yet?"

"We did, but they claimed to be members of the militia," Admiral Man replied, "so this case must be related to Wong Fei-hung."

Shen Lang said with a half-smile, "Are you planning to interrogate me too?"

"Well, well..." Admiral Man's mind raced, "I just want you to come back and assist with the investigation."

He was afraid that he would be strangled again.

"In that case, let's go to the prison to try the case. I have a lot of experience on how to try a case." Shen Lang said.

Stepping into the dark, damp, and foul-smelling cell, I saw that the gangsters captured today had their hands tightly tied with thick ropes.

Everyone looked listless.

Huang Feihong looked around slowly with a serious expression, frowning slightly. He said in a deep voice, "I have never met you before. How could you be part of my militia?"

Someone in the crowd said in a voice that had become unusually hoarse from not being in the water for a long time, "Master Huang, we are all legitimate militia members. Do you want to deny this fact?"

Before he finished speaking, the others echoed him.

"That's right, Master Huang. We all learned martial arts from you. How could you forget about us?"

"Master Huang, you are our hero. Now that we are in this predicament, you must come to our rescue!"

Some even cried out in tears: "Master Huang, my legs have been broken. I am afraid I will never be able to walk again. I hope you can take care of my family..."

For a moment, the entire cell was filled with pleading and crying sounds, which made people feel pity.

Admiral Man sneered and said, "Huang Feihong, what else do you have to say now?"

"I really don't know these people!" Huang Feihong said firmly, "They are clearly framing me!"

Admiral Man said coldly, "If someone can still frame someone after being beaten like this, then I've learned a lot. Come, lock up Huang Feihong."

"Wait a minute." Shen Lang suddenly stopped him, "I have an idea."

Admiral Man wanted to refuse, but after seeing his eyes, he swallowed his saliva secretly and asked, "What do you think?"

Shen Lang walked slowly up to one of them.

When the man saw Shen Lang, his body trembled violently, as if struck by thunder, and his whole body began to shake uncontrollably.

The reason was simple: this seemingly harmless man in front of him had just broken his legs with his own hands today, causing him to suffer great pain and torture.

So at this moment, his heart was filled with fear and anxiety, and he had no idea how Shen Lang wanted to deal with him.

The man's lips trembled, and his voice began to shake as he asked timidly, "What...what are you going to do?"

That look was even more terrifying than seeing a ghost.

Shen Lang showed a faint smile, but in the eyes of the other party, this smile was as creepy as a devil's smile.

But Shen Lang's tone was surprisingly gentle. He said softly, "Don't be afraid. I just want to ask you a small question. Tell me, are you really a member of the militia?"

Hearing this, the man hesitated for a moment, but quickly nodded and stammered, "Yes... yes."

Just as he finished speaking, Shen Lang suddenly made a move as fast as lightning, and one hand tightly grasped his neck like an iron clamp.

With a crisp "crack", the man's larynx was crushed.

His head tilted weakly to one side, his eyes were wide open, and his death was extremely miserable.

This sudden change plunged the entire prison into a dead silence.

Everyone, including Admiral Man, stared blankly at the scene happening before them with eyes wide open, their faces filled with disbelief and astonishment.

None of them had expected that Shen Lang would act so ruthlessly and decisively without any hesitation.

Shen Lang smiled as he glanced at the silent bandits around him and asked, "Who else is from the militia?"

Hearing this, the gangsters were terrified and almost pissed themselves to death.

They rushed to shout, "Sir, spare my life! I'm not from the militia, I'm a member of the Shahe Gang. Our gang leader ordered us to assassinate Wong Fei-hung and Jesus Ghost, and he wants to pin the blame on him!"

"Right, right, right. I'm not from the militia either. I'm just following the leader's orders. Our leader has joined forces with that American to do good deeds. The two of them are colluding to eliminate Huang Feihong, so they sent us to act under the banner of the militia!"

"Today, our gang leader sent someone to find us and threatened to kill our entire family if we didn't follow his orders. We had no choice but to lie and say we were from the militia. The master is very observant and must take charge of our case!"

For a time, all kinds of crying, begging for mercy and shouting for justice were heard one after another.

Shen Lang looked at Admiral Man and said, "Look, the problem is solved."
