The Imperial Guards, like Yama, slaughtered until the Empress cried out for help.

A series of footsteps sounded, and Wu Gang hurriedly came from the depths of the mansion.

He gasped when he saw Shen Qing's face clearly, but the thought of the two elders of Dongxuan hiding in the shadows put him at ease.

Wu Gang slowed his pace, his face stern: "Commander Shen? Why do you dare to intrude into my Wu family's residence!"

"Is there some misunderstanding here?"

"Misunderstanding? Wu Gang, you really have a bad memory. Can't you remember what you did? You must have made a lot of money selling children."

Wu Gang's face darkened: "Do you have any evidence?"

Shen Qing couldn't help but laugh: "Is that something on your neck that even a dung beetle couldn't resist?"

"Are you asking the Embroidered Uniform Guard for evidence?"

Wu Gang's face flushed red. Since he took office as the Assistant Magistrate of Luoshui City, no one had ever said such a thing to him.

Shen Qing was too lazy to waste any more words with Wu Gang. Now that the person in question was confirmed to be here, the task at hand was simple: kill, wipe out the family, ransack the house, and go back for a drink.

The Green River sword slowly emerged from his hand, its killing intent and sharpness soaring into the sky, terrifying everyone in the Wu family.

Just then, a man ran out from the inner room. He was Wu Yue, one of the heads of the Wu family and Wu Gang's younger brother. He ran towards Shen Qing while waving and shouting. In the blink of an eye, he had run within 30 meters of Shen Qing.

"Stop, stop, stop! The newcomer is none other than Shen Qing, the Lord of Hell, the one who saves all beings!"

Shen Qing glanced at him, her Qinghe sword moving at full speed, a streak of green light flashing as it slashed straight at Wu Yue.

Since the newcomers are from the Wu family, let's just kill them all.

Shen Qing doesn't care about this or that.

Wu Yue quickly stopped in his tracks.

"Is Lord Shen here about the human trafficking case? I'm the one who reported it! I'm the one who reported it!"

With a whoosh, a fierce gust of wind stung Wu Yue's face, but fortunately, Qinghe stopped half a centimeter away from his neck.

"Did you file the report?"

Upon hearing this, all eyes in the courtyard turned to Wu Yue, and Wu Gang was completely dumbfounded.

Wu Yue gasped as he looked at Qinghe, who was less than half a centimeter away from his neck. He felt his legs go weak. This was the first time since birth that he had felt so grateful that his parents had given him such a good mouth. He could speak quickly and clearly.

However, Wu Yue did not dare to hesitate any longer and quickly began to speak.

"Sir, the person who reported the case is Old Lady Sun from Guyue Street, right? I sent someone to direct her to the Hundred Household Office."

"I already had evidence of human trafficking in Wugang, which is why I asked Grandma Sun to report it to the police."

That makes sense. If no one had guided her, Grandma Sun probably wouldn't have thought of reporting the case to the Imperial Guards.

Shen Qing removed Qinghe from Wu Yue's neck and gestured for him to continue.

Wu Yue breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the Qinghe Blade being moved aside.

"That's right. I noticed something unusual last year and have been secretly collecting evidence. I discovered that Wu Gang not only trafficked children, but also women and even slaves."

"Since you already have concrete evidence, why didn't you report it to the authorities sooner?"

Wu Yue gave a wry smile: "How does Lord Shen know I haven't reported it? There have been quite a few cases of missing children in the city over the years, and I have secretly sent people to search for the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the yamen."

"The various government offices are a given; they're full of informants. This case simply can't get through. The Embroidered Uniform Guard occasionally investigates, but they mostly give up halfway through. Well... 'giving up when faced with difficulties' would be a more accurate description."

"Until I arranged for Granny Sun to report the case to you, I wanted to secretly observe your reaction. If it was like the previous Jinyiwei, I would continue to hide until someone capable of doing the job appeared. If you were willing to continue investigating, I would give you the evidence."

"I really didn't expect you to act so quickly, Lord Shen."

Shen Qing's expression was strange; it was actually a scene of sacrificing family for the greater good.

Upon hearing this, Wu Gang, who was not far away, finally couldn't hold back any longer, his face turning pale and then red.

"Wu Yue! You beast! You've betrayed us brothers!"

Wu Yue turned around, his face grim: "Brother, this is the last time I will call you brother. I am ashamed to be associated with you."

"How dare you face your ancestors in the afterlife after what you've done?"

"If I don't do something soon, the Wu family's legacy will end in your hands!"

Wu Gang stumbled back two steps: "So that's how you've always seen me!"

Shen Qing remained silent, watching the drama unfold. He only regretted not having popcorn and cola in his hand. This was such a dramatic scene of sacrificing family for the greater good. Wasn't this much more entertaining than some movies from his previous life?

This could be turned into a story and told for three days and three nights by a storyteller.

Seeing Wu Yue's resolute expression, Wu Gang hardened his heart and gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"Wu Yue! Shen Qing! Do you really think you can take me down?"

"I've spent so many years and so much money in Luoshui City just for this day!"

"Elders Dongxuan! Thank you for your help!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two elders from the East and West emerged from the shadows and stood in front of Wu Gang.

Ge Dong held a long spear, while Ge Xuan held a silver-backed sword.

Ge Xuan smiled and stroked his beard.

"You must be Shen Qing, the Yama who saves the world. I've heard so much about you."

Having said that, his true energy surged wildly, revealing the aura unique to a half-step Grandmaster.

"Unfortunately, you cannot take Wu Gang away today."

"How about we make a deal? We'll both leave today, and I'll take Wu Gang away from here. You can pretend you never saw us, okay?"

Wu Gang's face darkened: "Elders Dongxuan! Why be so polite? Didn't you say you'd split the score with Shen Qing 90/10? You get 90%, Shen Qing gets 10%."

"One price! Three thousand taels! Kill Shen Qing! Capture that slut Wu Yue! Then send me away from Yongning County!"

Upon hearing the news of three thousand taels, Ge Dong, who was standing to the side, also revealed an ugly smile.

"Three thousand taels? It's a deal then. I'll stretch my muscles a bit, young friend Shen. Sorry."

As soon as he finished speaking, an aura of a peak Innate Realm expert swept over us.

Wu Yue's expression changed drastically. He also had the cultivation of the Acquired Realm, so he could naturally sense the extraordinary nature of Ge Dong and Ge Xuan.

He couldn't help but swallow hard, looking nervously at Shen Qing. He had revealed all his cards today, and now the only thing he could do was rely on Shen Qing.

Shen Qing looked at the two elders of Dongxuan with a calm expression and spoke in a flat tone.

"One-nine split?"

Ge Xuan nodded: "That's right, 10/90."

Shen Qing laughed. This is too pretentious. This western part of Luoshui City is his home turf, yet someone is even more pretentious than him.

Outrageous!

Shen Qing's figure disappeared, and the roar of the dragon and elephant was released. The domineering aura surged and shattered the aura of the two elders of Dongxuan.

The two elders of Dongxuan suddenly became serious: "Something's not right! This is a tricky situation!"

The next moment, Shen Qing's figure reappeared in front of Ge Xuan, nine streaks of azure light flashed in succession, and several fine blood lines appeared on Ge Xuan's body.

Shen Qing's voice echoed in the air.

"Indeed, it's 10/90."

"In a single breath, I'll slash you nine times."
