Chapter 54 Confiscating Ximen Qing's Property

Such a scene is truly a feast for the eyes!

Seeing Chu Ke's unparalleled talent, Wu Song couldn't help but feel his heart surge with excitement, his blood boiling with passion.

"For some reason, I always felt I should go and fight that tiger, and beat up that show-off Ximen Qing, but unfortunately, my brother beat me to it."

Wu Song could no longer describe his state of mind at this point.

But one thing remains unchanged: our reverence for Chuk!

"County Commandant...County Commandant Chu, spare my life!"

Ximen Qing was held upside down by Chu Ke, his feet in the air, his head hanging down and congested with blood, his head throbbing with pain, his vision going black and seeing stars.

His former arrogance and fierceness had vanished, leaving only panic and helplessness. He felt as if his life was hanging by a thread, and he was so uncomfortable that he almost fainted.

"Oh, so you think I went to all this trouble just to teach you a lesson?"

"My lord! What...what do you want? I'll give you anything!"

Ximen Qing shouted with all his might.

Chuk grinned, then his expression turned cold.

I want Yanggu County to never have another high-ranking official again!

He glanced sideways at the steel knife lying on the ground, lightly touched the ground with his right foot, and smoothly lifted the long knife into the air.

Then, he forcefully pried open Ximen Qing's legs with both hands, lifted them up, and went straight to meet the falling long knife!

The steel knife whistled through the air and plunged hard between Ximen Qing's legs.

With a heart-wrenching scream, Ximen Qing's body stiffened, and excruciating pain drilled straight into the top of his head, as if every inch of his bones was being torn apart.

Seeing Ximen Qing's miserable state, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines and swallowed hard.

This...this is probably the most tragic and least desirable way for a man to die.

"Brother, your martial arts skills are truly amazing! This style of movement is something I've never seen before!"

Wu Song immediately came up to praise him.

After hearing Wu Song's praise, Chu Ke became even more enthusiastic.

With a quick twist of his wrists, he flipped the barely breathing Ximen Qing in mid-air, then with a sudden burst of strength, he tossed him high into the air.

As Ximen Qing crashed to the ground, the steel knife had already pierced through his body.

His body convulsed violently, and after struggling for a moment, the once arrogant Master Ximen breathed his last, never to be heard again.

The entire place was silent. Unexpectedly, the newly appointed magistrate of Chu County immediately set fire to the place, and it was the fire that belonged to Ximen Qing, the local tyrant of Yanggu County.

"County Magistrate Chu, killing Ximen Qing certainly felt satisfying, but what about the capital..."

At some point, Meng Yi returned to the field. Looking at Ximen Qing's miserable state, he felt a chill in his lower body.

Chuke waved his hand and comforted Meng Yi:

"Leaving aside whether Ximen Qing has any connection with the Cai family, even if he can establish that connection, why can't we?"

Chu Ke already had a plan in mind. Since Cai Jing needed tiger penis, and Ximen Qing could give it to him, he couldn't.

The tiger whip given by the tiger-slaying hero is no more interesting than the one given by a local ruffian.

If you just package this tiger penis properly, Cai Jing will have to thank himself profusely!

Looking at Chu Ke's confident demeanor, Meng Yi was still somewhat skeptical.

But thinking that even if the sky were to fall, at worst he could use Chuk to convict him.

What does it have to do with me?

Thinking of this, Meng Yi was about to laugh when he realized that Chu Ke's gaze had fallen on him at some point.

"Chu... County Commandant Chu, what do you mean by this?"

Recalling Ximen Qing's tragic fate,

Facing Chuk, this ferocious god, Meng Yi felt a chill run down his spine.

Just then, Chu Kele said, "Didn't the magistrate just suggest handing the tiger whip to Ximen Qing and then asking me what I wanted?"

How could this person be so greedy?

Ximen Qing is dead, so the tiger whip is naturally yours. What else do you want?

Meng Yi's mind went blank, and he shouted:

"I am a person of my word, and I will grant whatever Magistrate Chu desires!"

............

Zishi Street, Ximen Mansion.

"County Magistrate Chu, since you intend to confiscate Ximen Qing's property, why not take the valuables and just the courtyard and his pharmacy?"

Wu Song stood on the street, looking puzzled. Behind him were several county officials and constables, all of whom were specially selected by Chu Ke and were his former companions in the temporary tiger-hunting team.

Chu Ke smiled and explained to Wu Song:

"Ximen Qing is a local tyrant in Yanggu County. He's amassed countless riches through plunder. This huge piece of meat isn't something you can just eat as you please!"

"Brother, as a newly appointed official, I naturally want to make as many friends as possible. Only by actively sharing some of this lucrative opportunity can I avoid being seen as a second Ximen Qing by the local gentry."

Chuk looked up at the magnificent mansion before him and thought to himself, this is the first foothold I have established in this chaotic world.

Of course, there were some things he didn't tell Wu Song.

Chu Ke had long regarded Yanggu County as his own territory, and the so-called distribution of some wealth was merely a matter of transferring money from one hand to the other.

If I need it later, I can ask Meng Yi or the local gentry for it. Would they dare refuse me?

Then there's no need for such "talented people" to exist in Yanggu County!

Chu Ke waved his hand, and Wu Song led the officials and rushed into the mansion.

"You're Ximen Qing's steward, you should know how much wealth he has, right?"

Chu Ke didn't rush into the mansion. Instead, he grabbed the steward, who had been beaten half to death by Wu Song, and questioned him.

"Your Excellency, I will immediately write down everything I know, including some things that are not publicly known..."

The steward nodded vigorously, about to pour out his heart, but was interrupted by Chuk.

"No rush. What you just said about Cai Jing wanting tiger penis, is that true?"

The steward nodded vigorously and said, "Grand Tutor Cai has a lot of tiger penises, but he heard that tigers that have eaten human flesh are even more powerful down there, so he is looking for mostly tiger penises like this one."

He's still a seasoned foodie.

Chu Ke sneered and asked, "What benefits did the Cai family agree to?"

The steward immediately replied, "It wasn't explicitly stated, but it's bound to happen eventually, after all, he's the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty..."

"stop!"

Chu Ke felt a headache coming on just hearing Cai Jing's list of titles, and asked directly,

"If I traded a tiger penis for the position of Military Supervisor of Dongping Prefecture, what do you say?"

The butler frowned, pondered for a moment, and then exclaimed in alarm:

"Does Your Excellency intend to take command of the garrison troops in Yanggu County?"

"Those soldiers are under the command of Yunli Shou. If you want this military power, you're going against him!"

"Hmph," Chuk snorted coldly.

Yun Lishou? He's just another scoundrel.

This man colluded with Ximen Qing, bullying men and women in his daily life. After Ximen Qing's death, he even seized his good brother's house and widow.

Chu Ke was truly heartbroken to have the Song Dynasty's garrison troops under such command.

"Just tell me, if I hand over the tiger whip, will Prime Minister Cai agree to my request?"

In the chaotic world of Water Margin, gaining control of a local military force was the first step in Chu Ke's plan.

Even the few hundred soldiers in Yanggu County had their own start-up capital.

When Chuck asked again, the butler immediately assured him that...

"Yanggu County is just an insignificant county under Dongping Prefecture, and the position of Commander is not an important post."

"If you, sir, can win over Prime Minister Cai, what difficulty would there be in getting a position as the prefect of Dongping Prefecture!"

Although the butler's flattery was off the mark, Chuk still smiled slightly, indicating his satisfaction.

Suddenly, a commotion arose in the courtyard, accompanied by the woman's exclamations.

Then Wu Song was seen leading several young women out of the mansion.

"Magistrate Chu, these are all widows of Ximen Qing. What should be done with them?"
