After saying that, he bent down to pull the old woman up, and Wang Dingliu, who was standing nearby, quickly helped!

Together, the two steadily pulled the old woman up. The man's hands were now free, and he felt much relieved.

His face lit up with joy, and he immediately unleashed his signature move.

Like a swordfish emerging from the water, he leaped out, rolled over, and landed steadily on the boat.

Seeing that this man's swimming skills and fighting abilities far surpassed his own, Ruan Xiaoqi was overjoyed and immediately felt a sense of appreciation for his talent. She thought to herself, "..."

"This man's swimming skills are so amazing. If he can help my brother take back the mountain stronghold, wouldn't our Liangshan navy be even stronger?"

0 ........ 0

Thinking of this, Ruan Xiaoqi quickly asked, "Hero, where are you from? What's your name?"

As soon as the man came up, he bent down to check on his mother's condition. Seeing that she had only fainted, he was relieved.

Upon hearing Ruan Xiaoqi's question, he quickly stood up and gave a deep bow.

"My name is Zhang Shun, and I come from Jiangzhou!"

When Ruan Xiaoqi first arrived in the South, she didn't react much to the name.

Wang Dingliu, standing to the side, exclaimed in surprise, "Are you perhaps Zhang Shun, the one known as the White Streak in the Waves on the Xunyang River?"

“It is indeed a villain,” Zhang Shun nodded.

Ruan Xiaoqi asked curiously, "Brother Zhang Shun, why are you traveling in the middle of the night with your mother? Even if you have a reputation in the martial arts world, you should know that there are many injustices on this river!"

Zhang Shun sighed, his face full of helplessness: "I carried my mother all the way from Jiangzhou to treat her chronic back ailment. We traveled day and night, but as soon as we got on this ship, I couldn't hold on any longer and accidentally fell asleep. That's how I fell into the trap of those two thieves. Looking back now, I was really too careless!"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Xiaoqi advised, "Jiangzhou is hundreds of miles away from here. You're not made of iron, how can you not get tired? But who are you taking your old mother to the city to look for?"

Zhang Shun answered truthfully, "I have an old acquaintance in Jiankang Prefecture named An Daoquan. Everyone who knows him calls him a divine physician. There is no disease in the world that he cannot cure. That's why I brought my mother here to find him!"

"Brother, are you also going to see the Divine Physician An?"

Ruan Xiaoqi paused for a moment, then glanced at Wang Dingliu: "Brother told us to wait for Doctor An and his wife at the hotel, but judging from the sky, they probably won't leave the city tonight! Why don't we accompany this brother into the city to look for them?"

"Alright!" Wang Dingliu nodded.

"Xiao Liu, row quickly! Don't delay this old lady's treatment!"

Ruan Xiaoqi tossed a paddle to Wang Dingliu.

The two rowed with all their might, propelling the small boat toward the shore.

Zhang Shun was taking care of his mother and was incredibly grateful to the two men who were rowing so hard.

When the small boat reached the shore, Ruan Xiaoqi and Wang Dingliu returned to the village shop to pick up their clothes and put them on.

Zhang Shun carried his elderly mother on his back and waited to the side.

The three then headed towards Jiankang City.

　"083" ......

At this time, in a small courtyard near the city wall on the west side of Jiankang City,

Shi Xiu and Zhao Yuan got completely drunk during the day.

After being taken home by Ruan Xiaoqi and Wang Dingliu, he remained in bed, fast asleep.

He was fast asleep because he had drunk too much alcohol earlier.

Shi Xiu was awakened by the urge to urinate, still somewhat groggy.

He got out of bed, walked out of the room, and headed towards the outhouse in the yard.

After urinating, a cold wind blew in.

Shi Xiu's previously dazed mind cleared up considerably in an instant.

He yawned and was about to go back into the house when

Just then, a rustling sound was heard coming from the main room.

Could it be that a thief has broken in?

Although there was nothing of value in the main room, there was his uncle's memorial tablet.

If the spirit of my uncle is disturbed by this foolish thief, then I will have offended him!

Thinking of this, Shi Xiu quickly tiptoed over.

He originally intended to corner the foolish thief inside the house, apprehend him, and then deliver him to the government office at dawn the next day.

But just as he reached the door, Shi Xiu suddenly froze!

Because the sounds coming from inside the room weren't the sounds of a clumsy thief ransacking the place.

Instead, it was the sound of a man and a woman engaged in fierce combat!

The man's breathing was hard to make out, but the woman's voice was unmistakably that of his aunt, who should be bedridden!

Shi Xiu stood blankly at the door, all he could hear was the noise made by the adulterous couple inside.

Shi Xiu had naturally heard about his aunt's affair with Butcher Zhang.

This happened while he and his uncle were in the north trading sheep and horses.

After Shi Xiu returned with the coffin, the two never had any further relations.

Shi Xiu knew there was no smoke without fire, but firstly, he had no evidence.

Secondly, his uncle had just passed away, leaving behind only his aunt as a widow.

If he were to take his aunt to court at this time, he would inevitably be accused of trying to drive her away and seize his uncle's inheritance.

Thirdly, although this aunt hadn't treated him well, over the years she had at least shown him some kindness in raising him.

Shi Xiu didn't want to completely break ties with her until the very last moment.

When drinking with Zhao Yuan during the day,

Shi Xiu once said that his only wish now is to quietly observe three years of mourning for his uncle in order to repay his kindness in raising him.

However, even such a simple wish is now unlikely to come true!

Shi Xiu's eyes were bloodshot, and his fists were clenched so tightly they cracked.

He was about to rush into the room, seize the two adulterers, and hand them over to the authorities.

But when he reached out and pushed the door, he found it blocked by a bolt from the inside.

Shi Xiu was about to kick the door open when

At this moment, the two inside had engaged in a fierce battle.

The panting gradually subsided, and the sound of two people talking could be heard from inside the room.

Shi Xiu suddenly stopped, and heard his aunt scolding him from inside the house.

"You dare to come here while that jinx is still at home!"

"I just missed you!"

A man's voice teased, "Aren't you the same? I just walked into the house and you immediately pounced on me!"

This time, Shi Xiu outside could hear it clearly.

The man's voice was none other than that of Zhang the butcher who slaughtered pigs and sold meat!

"You rascal! I did miss you a little, but you shouldn't have taken advantage of my weakness to bring me from the bedroom to this main room!"

The woman complained, "Old Shi's memorial tablet is enshrined in this house. Aren't you afraid that if he sees you having sex with his wife, he'll turn into a vengeful ghost and crawl up from below to haunt you?"

"I wasn't afraid of that old ghost Shi when he was alive, let alone now that he's dead!"

Butcher Zhang chuckled and said, "Besides, didn't you suddenly become much more enthusiastic when we got into this room?"

"You rascal! You have time to think about these things, why don't you think about how to make us a lasting couple?"

The woman scolded, "And that Shi Xiu, you have to find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible, otherwise, if he finds out about that will, then this little courtyard will be left for neither of us!"

"That old devil Shi is a real bastard!"

Butcher Zhang cursed, "A perfectly good property, instead of leaving it to your own wife, you're giving it to your nephew!"

The woman snorted and said indignantly, "That old man raised his nephew like a son, so what's so strange about him wanting to leave this property to Shi Xiu!"

"However, you don't need to worry about that. The will left at your house has been burned, and the one in the yamen has been stolen by bribery, torn to shreds, and thrown into the river to feed the fish!"

Butcher Zhang comforted him, saying, "As for that poor scholar who helped Old Man Shi write his will, he also took my money and would never dare to say another word about it!"

"As for Shi Xiu, I do have an idea,"

Butcher Zhang said slowly, "Now there are only the two of you in this courtyard. No matter what happens, there are no other witnesses! It just so happens that Shi Xiu is drunk tonight. Why don't you take this opportunity to say that Shi Xiu tried to harass you while he was drunk!"

"With such a morally reprehensible crime, I can spend some money to bribe the officials in the government office. Even if I can't kill him, I can definitely exile him to a place thousands of miles away!"

"That's a good idea, you lazy bum, why didn't you say so sooner..."

Before the woman could finish speaking, a sudden gust of cold wind blew, causing her still-naked body to shiver violently.

"Why is there a sudden gust of cold wind? Could it be Old Stone...?"

The woman quickly turned to look at Uncle Shi Xiu's memorial tablet.

Unexpectedly, another gust of wind blew by, knocking the memorial tablet over!

"Old Shi, could it really be you? You...?"

The woman panicked completely, and even the butcher, staring at the fallen memorial tablet, suddenly shuddered...

Butcher Zhang looked around, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't panic, it's probably just the wind blowing through the window in the inner room..."

He stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking.

The woman lying on the table asked疑惑地, "What now? Didn't you say the window...?"

The woman was stunned, just like Zhang the butcher, after only finishing her sentence.

After a moment, she said, trembling,

"Shi Xiu, you... how could you..."

"Auntie, what a good thing you've done!"

Shi Xiu, expressionless, slowly walked out of the inner room, a knife in his right hand.

He had just retrieved the knife from inside the house. To avoid alerting the adulterous couple, Shi Xiu had even climbed back through the window from the inner room.

"Brother Shi Xiu, let me explain..."

Zhang the butcher was now trembling with fear, all traces of his earlier smugness gone.

He was about to beg for mercy when Shi Xiu's waist knife, gleaming coldly, sliced ​​across his throat.

"Woooo..."

Butcher Zhang clutched his neck, but he couldn't stop the gushing blood.

Aunt Shi Xiu, who was beneath him, was already pale with fright and was about to cry for help.

Shi Xiu, with a cold face, used his waist knife as a spear.

After piercing Zhang the butcher's abdomen, they also nailed the woman to the table!

Looking at the naked couple before me, leaning against the offering table like a string of candied hawthorns,

Shi Xiu suddenly let out a bitter laugh.

He stepped forward and straightened his uncle's memorial tablet.

He then knelt down on both knees and respectfully kowtowed three times.

“Uncle, it is your unfilial son who has done this! Although I knew that this woman was having an affair, I was worried about this and that, and I have not taken any action.”

"After listening to the conversation between that despicable couple today, I realized that while humans may not have the intention to harm tigers, tigers may have the intention to hurt humans!"
