Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 175 Bao'an Hall

The two met again at West Lake.

Although everyone was fully equipped, there wasn't an overly menacing aura. Xu Xuan was patiently explaining some very important things to his companions.

"Actually, we don't need to pay too much attention to the concept of cause and effect. As practitioners, we should not only follow the will of Heaven and the people, but also understand the original intention of going against the natural order to become an immortal."

As a monk, I shouldn't say much, but as a good friend, I still hope you can try to persuade Miss Bai.

Xu Xuan's senses regarding the White Snake are very clear.

First of all, the other person is beautiful, or rather, very beautiful; she almost perfectly fits someone's aesthetic standards.

Secondly, it has helped me a lot, whether it is in terms of knowledge or combat power, it gives me a great sense of security.

Finally, there's the karmic entanglement stemming from the legend of the White Snake in their past life.

It's perfectly normal to develop feelings for someone under these circumstances.

Of course, the absence of his senior brother was also crucial.

Essentially, it's not much different from pursuing pretty girls in modern society.

If the day really comes that we have to fight each other, I will definitely run away if I can't win.

Of course, if it were a battle of wits, he wouldn't hold back either.

Tears flowed as he suppressed the white snake.
After all, Xu Xuan may not be Xu Xian, but he must be Fahai.

Xu was having all sorts of little thoughts running through his mind, but Xiaoqing didn't care at all.

"Don't worry, she has been cultivating for more than three times as long as the two of us combined. With her cultivation level, she will definitely be fine."

He choked. This little monster is actually quite good at math. Doubling five hundred and one years is indeed not more than seventeen hundred years.

Moreover, they have their own logic, and they certainly won't be conflicted about going with or against the grain in the future.

Xu Xuan also put aside his worries and began to report the case to his friends, trying to enlighten the guy.

“I have examined the wounds of the dead man; it was indeed the work of a demon.”

“He dragged the young master out of the crowd, then pierced his heart with a claw, and with a gentle twist, severed the aorta, superior vena cava, and pulmonary arteries and veins.”

As he spoke, he made a gesture, similar to shaking his hands.

"It must have been pulled out completely; the technique was very skillful, indicating a repeat offender."

"Extremely arrogant and extremely rough, the ground was covered in blood, and the demonic aura was not concealed at all."

"It must be a country monster."

After listening, Xiaoqing also felt that this monster was no good, as he didn't understand any of the rules of a big city.

Since her debut, she has worked with Xu Xuan to handle several on-site situations, and there have never been any mistakes.

The two went straight back to the county government office.

With Magistrate Song out appeasing the powerful and wealthy families, it's natural that Xu is in charge here.

He naturally walked into the side hall and began issuing orders, and immediately the violent apparatus of Qiantang began to operate.

As a powerful figure in the local community, he naturally needs to rely on various resources to conduct investigations, rather than going through the arduous process of visiting and investigating everywhere.

As long as you're in Qiantang, you can get most of the information about many issues with just a word.

After a short while, Zhao Hu escorted in a burly man with a scar on his face, tattoos of dragons and tigers, and a chest hair the size of a palm.

When the burly man entered and saw Mr. Xu sitting in a chair pretending to sip tea, he immediately collapsed to the ground and began kowtowing repeatedly, his whole body like a sieve.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please..."

First, they begged for mercy, then they showered him with rhythmic and shameless flattery.

Xu Xuan was baffled. Didn't I look like a good person?
He was just asked to find a local ruffian to ask if there had been any changes in the city recently, but Zhao Hu immediately kowtowed. Did he commit a crime?

So she smiled gently and said not to be nervous, because being nervous is useless.

I don't need to live to be a hundred, so don't curse me. The woman next to me doesn't need to either, otherwise she'd be in her sixth incarnation by now.

Explain the problem clearly. If it's not serious, there might still be a chance to repair the river or perform corvée labor. After inquiring about the reason, I was speechless; it was a misunderstanding.

"Everyone in Qiantang knows about Young Master Xu's Iron Palm technique. The first person to be turned into bone and flesh by one palm is Zhang San. All the brothers in the underworld know this."

"The second Zhang San is said to have offended you and was also taken away by the yamen runners and his whereabouts are unknown. It is said that he was filled in the riverbed."

Mr. Xu's face instantly darkened. "I really didn't kill the first one! It was that White Lotus Cult deliveryman who did it."

The second one was what I ordered, but I didn't fill in the riverbed. Don't talk nonsense; that person is doing great work at the border.

Xiaoqing was curious: if she was so afraid, why did she change her name to Zhang San?

"The brothers in the underworld say this name carries a curse, and whoever dares to change their name will be recognized as their leader."

“I thought I would hide when the academy was on holiday, and everything should be fine.”

"I never expected this name to be so unsuitable. Waaaaah~~~~~"

The big man cried his heart out, how could he have been so bewitched? Today he was going to the gates of hell to become a lonely ghost.

Well, the only way for thugs to prove their bravery is by being aggressive.

Murder and arson are generally things one wouldn't dare to do, but bullying ordinary people is commonplace, so only something as mystical as changing one's name to court death can prove it.

Xu Xuan gave Zhao Hu a look, indicating that this person could also be dragged into prison to await sentencing later.

Such scoundrels exist in every era; they are unproductive and difficult to eradicate.

The Book of Jin, Treatise on Criminal Law contains clear records of rogues, pointing out that these people are vicious and unruly, and easily turn into thieves when they encounter difficulties.

The most famous one among them is Zhou Chu.

Zhou Chu, who eliminated the three evils.

There will always be people who take pleasure in bullying the weak. They cannot be easily reformed by sages and moral principles; only strong measures can change their ways.

Of course, asking for information is still the most crucial thing at this moment.

Zhang San cried as he spoke, rambling on about many so-called important matters, which annoyed the others.

until
"Yesterday I went to Bao'antang to cause trouble for the doctor, that old bastard."

"Hmm? Explain in detail, Bao'an Hall."

Mr. Xu recognized the term and needed to inquire about it further.

He was absolutely certain that there had never been such a clinic in Qiantang before.

Then Zhao Hu brought in the brokers for questioning.

The usual routine: kowtow, cry, admit mistakes, reflect on one's actions, and then explain the problems.

It seems this bastard can also be thrown into jail.

"That old man said he was from Jianyi and lost a hand in a fight when he was young."

"Our family's medical skills have no lineage, and I thought that there shouldn't be many bad people among those who become doctors, so I arranged for the Wu family steward to make this deal."

"The voucher... He offered twice the amount of money, but refused it."

Paying twice the price to buy a shop, no identification, missing a hand, ha!

It's getting more and more suspicious.

Xu Xuan was a somewhat meticulous person and lacked confidence in asking Zhao Hu to capture this suspected sorcerer.

Instead, they contacted people who had visited the clinic.

The results are quite interesting; it can treat sprains, bruises, headaches, fevers, and ailments, including internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, and pediatrics.

There are even high-end technologies for treating infertility, which is quite remarkable.

The key point is that the price is fair, or rather, cheap.
