My name is Huang Tian, ​​what the hell is this "Heaven is dead" nonsense?

Chapter 89 The Assassin
Inside the warm pavilion, Shirahara looked at the sky outside. The night was deep and the moon was like a crescent. He said to the three of them, "It's getting late. You should go back and rest."

After saying that, he looked at Huang Tian and said, "You should be able to receive the reward for capturing Zhang Yu and the others tomorrow."

Zhang Yu was a wanted criminal, and Huang Tian would naturally offer a reward for his capture.

"Thank you, Governor."

After thanking them, Huang Tian and the other two left the warm pavilion. Watching their departing figures, Bai Yuanfu stood with his hands behind his back, lost in thought.

'Huang Tian's aptitude and comprehension are too strong; there will be no shortage of people who want to kill him. However, with his strength, an ordinary fourth-rank cultivator shouldn't be able to kill him. The only concern is that a grandmaster might infiltrate the city...'

The masters of the five major sects are being closely watched by the authorities, but there's always a chance that one of them might pull off a surprise attack and successfully infiltrate the county town to kill Huang Tian.

'We still need to ask Commander Yu to come out of the pass...'

Yu Jingcheng, the only Grandmaster-level expert in the county's military guard, has been in seclusion for three months, focusing solely on cultivation and paying no attention to outside affairs.

However, the reason he ignored it was simply because there were no major issues that required his intervention. He could handle most things at the level of a thousand-household commander, and even higher-ranking officials like Shirahara Fu could manage them.

Unless it involves the Five Great Sects, Grandmaster-level experts, or Grandmaster-level exotic beasts, Yu Jingcheng doesn't need to do anything; he's happy to cultivate in seclusion.

But the situation is different now. The county and town guards have produced such a promising talent, but this talent was killed by the Flying Hong Sect because of his amazing talent. Grandmaster Yu Jingcheng must be invited out to take charge of the government office.

'Besides requesting the appointment of the Commander-in-Chief, I also need to send a letter to my family, instructing them to pay attention to the situation in the prefecture and to find out what the important figures there think of Kunyun County and Huangtian…'

Bai Yuanfu's family was considered a prominent clan in Qinzhou. The reason was simple: his family ancestor was a third-grade Grandmaster!
With a Rank 3 Grandmaster in charge, the Bai family has developed well for decades, with smooth sailing. The younger generation of the Bai family is also quite promising. Among them, the most outstanding is Bai Yuanfu, who is nearly fifty years old and has reached the Rank 4 Perfection realm, just one step away from becoming a Rank 3 Grandmaster!
Although this crucial step has trapped many people, and some never manage to cross it even in death, Bai Yuanfu is still highly regarded and expected to succeed by the Bai family patriarch, because as soon as he breaks through, the Bai family will immediately have two grandmasters in charge!

With two grandmasters, the Bai family's power will inevitably increase significantly, and their influence in Qinzhou will become even greater.

"I must ask the Ancestor to keep a close eye on the situation in the capital. If there is any major disturbance, please inform me immediately..."

The stronger Huang Tian's talent and strength become, the more people will pay attention to him. Bai Yuanfu believes that it won't be long before people in the state city will notice Huang Tian, ​​who is in Kunyun County. In that case, the attitude of the major forces in the state city will be crucial.

For example, among the state and town guards, is there anyone coveting the secret of Huang Tian's rapid breakthrough? Is there anyone who wants to transfer him to the state capital, or should he be kept in Kunyun County for the time being?

The military guard of a single prefecture is already so troublesome; behind it are the prefectural government, the Six Doors of the prefecture, the various powerful families and sects of Qin Prefecture, and the demonic cult hidden in the shadows.

All of these things need to be understood and analyzed to figure out their thoughts.

'It's a good thing that a genius has emerged, but being too talented can be a headache...'

Shirahara finally understood what the joy of trouble was. He chuckled and shook his head, then walked to the desk and began to write a letter to be presented to the family patriarch.

Meanwhile, in the dim light of night, Huang Tian had already entered Qinghui Garden and arrived at the main courtyard. Heng'er, dressed in a green dress, heard the commotion and ran out from a side room, exclaiming joyfully:
"Si Lang, you're back! There seems to have been a huge commotion in the neighborhood tonight. There are government officials everywhere outside. I heard that some ruthless thieves broke into the neighborhood and killed someone..."

A worry lingered in her eyes; the night had terrified her. She wasn't concerned for her own safety—Qinghui Garden was so close to the Zhenwuwei government office; those ruthless bandits weren't fools, they wouldn't dare attack from this location. She was simply worried that Huang Tian hadn't returned home and feared he might have encountered danger on the way, or perhaps he'd been injured while leading the capture of the thugs. Even more worrying was that the bandits were after Huang Tian…

Fortunately, though it was late at night, Huang Tian returned safely.

Huang Tian chuckled, "Don't worry, the gang of thieves from Baoqingfang has been captured by the Zhenwu Guard. Now, officials from various government offices are running around the city to track down their accomplices. The city will be calm again in a day or two."

After he said that, Heng'er finally felt relieved. "It's good that we caught it!"

She feared that the culprits would never be caught, and Huang Tian, ​​the probationary centurion of Baoqingfang, would have to keep leading men in pursuit. If he were to accidentally fall and get injured... Whenever she thought of this, her heart would clench, her face would turn pale, and her mind would wander.

Gently patting her head, Huang Tian said, "It's late, go to bed early. Don't think too much, it'll only upset your mind..."

"Uh-huh."

……

……

Although the night was getting deeper, the Huang residence was still bustling with activity. The lights were as bright as day, and servants moved about in the courtyard while the guests and hosts laughed happily.

Huang Xun, formerly a sixth-rank martial artist, drank a lot of wine but was not drunk. His face was just a little redder than usual. Huang Qian, as the protagonist of the banquet, drank dozens of cups of wine and looked a little tipsy, but in fact his eyes were clear and he was not drunk at all.

Huang Jian, who had taken half a day off from his studies to go home and attend his elder brother's celebratory banquet, and Huang Rui, who had barely recovered, drank heavily.

There was nothing they could do; they had been under too much pressure from Huang Tian lately, hearing bad news almost every ten days or so. The constant stream of bad news left them dizzy and depressed.

Now that their elder brother has finally brought some good news, it's no wonder they drank too much.

Sitting in the main seat, Huang Xunjiu saw that the second and third brothers were so drunk that they were almost falling over. He secretly shook his head, but he could understand their feelings, so he did not scold them.

"Hmm? Why is there such a commotion outside the manor? What happened?"

Just as Huang Xunjiu raised his wine cup, his ears twitched slightly as he heard a commotion of shouts outside the mansion.

Huang Qian heard it too. He exchanged a glance with his father, then got up and walked outside. He beckoned the steward and whispered, "Go outside and find out what's going on. Why is it so noisy?"

The butler nodded repeatedly and left quickly, while Huang Qian returned to his seat to continue drinking with the guests.

A short while later, the steward hurried back and whispered in Huang Qian's ear, "Young master, there are many constables patrolling outside. They seem to be arresting people. I bribed someone to inquire, and I heard that some thugs are causing trouble."

"A thug? What thug is so bold as to cause trouble in the county town?"
