Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 43 I can kill those from Qingcheng Mountain, and I can kill those from the Grand Canal Gang too.
The group rode their horses at breakneck speed through the city.

The commotion caused chaos in the city, and many people were pushed down and trampled while trying to escape, nearly losing their lives.

"Hangzhou is in complete chaos."

"Another spoiled brat like this. Can't someone be sent to keep an eye on him?"

"If this kind of person were in Wangyou County, I would chop his legs into mincemeat."

The accompanying constables pointed at the spoiled young man who was galloping wildly on horseback, their faces full of displeasure.

As constables, they despised people who disrupted the city's order.

If ordinary constables weren't limited to cross-border law enforcement, he would have already gone up there with his stick.

"Don't brag."

“That guy has powerful connections. He’s the young leader of the Cao Gang, the only son of Lu Tianxing, the leader of the Cao Gang. If you mess with him, you won’t live past tonight.”

Old Sun explained.

"No wonder he's so arrogant."

"Looks like she has a great dad."

"Hmph, even with a good father, you still have to grovel in Wangyou County."

"Yes, yes, but this is Hangzhou, so don't keep nagging."

"Talk less, do less."

"Speak little and do little."

"Understand?"

Old Sun's tone became a little harsher.

These constables have been following Lu Yuan for too long, and their understanding of the world has become increasingly naive.

They became increasingly arrogant and reckless.

They don't even consider that without Lu Yuan, what are they?
A low-ranking rogue, a minor figure in the martial arts world, almost insignificant.

Such people, let alone speaking ill of the Grand Canal Gang to their faces, would die a violent death even if they spoke ill of others behind their backs.

Because he had no power or connections, no one would care if he died.

"I know, Lao Sun, you're being a bit too sensitive."

“We are constables, government officials. The Grand Canal Gang is powerful, they wouldn’t dare to touch us.”

The young constable was somewhat unconvinced.

"So what if we're government officials? Our status might scare ordinary people, but those with connections won't be intimidated by it."

"Do you still remember Chief Constable Trojan Horse?"

"Do you remember how those dozens of brothers died?"

"Before the Chief Constable arrived, how many of our brothers in Wangyou County died at the hands of those江湖人 (jianghu people)?"

"If you don't have absolute strength, you'd better keep a low profile and not be too arrogant."

"Otherwise, you could be inexplicably killed at any time."

"Understand?"

"understood."

Constable Sun is instructing people.

Lu Yuan had no interest in this; he sat in the prison van, lost in thought.

The outside world's turmoil is irrelevant to him.

That's what Lao Lu said.

Don't provoke trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble.

It's none of your business, just hang it up high.

What happened outside of Wangyou County was none of his business.

……

Lu Yuan believed that if he didn't cause trouble, he wouldn't have any problems.

However, it is counterproductive.

Trouble is something you can't avoid just by actively avoiding it.

Especially Lu Yuan, whose stature was excessively tall.

Even when sitting, he is taller than most people when standing.

Very conspicuous.

This quickly caught the attention of the young leader of the Cao Gang.

"I go."

"Men, look over there."

"That dog-skinned constable is quite robust."

"Like a monster."

"Find a time to capture him, send him to the beast farm, and maybe we can even make a profit."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The young leader of the Cao Gang was surprised by Lu Yuan's physique when he saw him.

He immediately rode his horse toward Lu Yuan's location.

His words were full of disdain.

"Damn it, what kind of person is this, daring to insult our chief constable?"

"Does this idiot spoiled brat have a death wish?"

Before Lu Yuan could react, his constables couldn't take it anymore.

They would not allow anyone to speak ill of their chief constable.

Even if this person has a very impressive background.

Because of loyalty.

……

"How dare you! Do you even know who my young master is?"

"A mere dog-skinned constable, dares to resist?"

"It's an honor for you if my young master even glances at you."

“That’s right.” “Haha, well said, each of you will be rewarded with two taels of silver.”

The young gang leader tilted his head back, looking quite smug.

These underlings, though not very skilled in martial arts, are really good at talking, and they've got him really enjoying their flattery.

"Thank you, Young Master Xie."

"May the young master be blessed with boundless good fortune."

The lackeys were overjoyed.

This greatly displeased several of Lu Yuan's constables.

"You son of a bitch."

"What kind of dogs are you?"

"Honored? Honored my ass!"

"A spoiled brat, he really thinks he's something special."

"Send my chief constable to the animal farm? I'd rather send your mother to a brothel to sell meat."

"That stupid thing."

When it comes to cursing, no one knows how to curse better than them.

For a long time, their main job was to curse people.

"Asshole."

"Kill them!"

"Don't hold back, kill them all. If anything happens, I'll handle it."

The young gang leader was so angry that his face turned red, and he ordered his lackeys to beat Lu Yuan and the others to death.

As for whether they were government officials, the young gang leader no longer cared.

His father is Lu Tianxing, a peak second-rank martial artist. He can kill a few lowly constables without a second thought.

Would the imperial court really punish the Grand Canal Gang over these few minor constables?

"Kill them!"

"superior."

"As ordered by the young master, kill them."

A dozen or so lackeys, wielding large knives, came toward Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan's men were no cowards either.

Since the other side has already made a move.

They won't be polite either.

He drew his sword and charged forward as well.

Although there are many people on the other side.

But we can't back down.

The chief constable is still watching from behind; I can't let him down.

"stamping."

"Kill these bastards."

"You bastard, you're dead."

"Watch me plunge my white blade in and pull out my red one."

"Behold the power of my eunuch's knife that will make you childless and unable to have descendants."

The constables and gang members got into a fight.

However, due to the superior numbers of the opposing force, the constables from Wangyou County were quickly defeated and were beaten so badly they cried out in pain.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan finally stood up.

Just as the old man said.

People don't offend me, I don't offend people.

If anyone offends me, I will kill them.

The premise of "minding one's own business" is that others don't actively seek out trouble for him.

Since someone's causing trouble, don't blame them for going all out.

"Chief Constable, are you going to make your move?"

"If possible, do not take lives."

"Those canal gangs are very troublesome."

Officer Sun reminded him.

"The canal gangs are troublesome, but am I not troublesome too?"

"What is there to fear from mere grain transport gangs?"

"Two thousand people or hundreds of thousands of people make no difference to me."

Lu Yuan sneered.

He never took the canal gang seriously from beginning to end.

The Grand Canal Gang had hundreds of thousands of members, which was indeed a large number.

But among these hundreds of thousands of people, how many were truly willing to die for the Grand Canal Gang?
Didn't they all join the canal gangs just to make a living?
These people are just a mob; if someone has a bigger fist, they'll scatter.

Even if they were all willing to die for the Canal Gang, so what?

If he could kill more than two thousand disciples of Qingcheng Mountain, why couldn't he kill hundreds of thousands of members of the Cao Gang?

Are the lives of those who work for the Grand Canal gangs considered noble?

In Lu Yuan's eyes, there was no difference between two thousand and several hundred thousand.

It just means your hands will get a little more blood on them and it will take a little longer.

"Those who know what's good for them will die."

"What difference does it make if hundreds of thousands more die because they don't know what's good for them?"

"Old Sun, might makes right."
