Chapter 45 Conflict (a crucial day to test the waters)
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the small courtyard, there were sounds of stones hitting the wall one after another.
Chen Pingan stood in the house and kept throwing locust stones. Two full days have passed since the entrance to Locust Stone, and today is the third day.
+1!
As an extremely familiar symbol of experience emerged, Chen Pingan also stopped his morning practice.
His eyes moved slightly, and a panel appeared in front of him.
Name: Chen Pingan
Realm: Double Perfection of Qi and Blood
Martial Arts: Perfection of Iron Cloth Shirt, Introduction to Locust Stone (12/15)
"There are still 3 points of practice experience left! I will be able to complete the Locust Stone tonight!"
Chen Pingan was a little excited.
According to his deduction, as long as the Locust Stone is only a small amount, the Qi and blood emerging from the body will be enough to push his realm to the third level of Qi and Blood.
Three levels of qi and blood!
If he can successfully enter this realm, then he will be considered a high-ranking figure in this huge Nanquan Lane.
Like the smaller gangs in Nanquan Lane, the deputy gang leader is only at the third level of Qi and Blood.
A gang like the Hutou Gang is a bit more powerful, but the third level of Qi and Blood is enough to become a high-ranking member of the gang.
The Hutou Clan, Hu Ye and Qing Ye, have two gang leaders, one is the one and the other is the other. The three guardians are well-known. Among them, there are seven leaders as the mainstay, and there are hundreds of gangs below them like wolves and tigers.
Among the three guardians of the Hutou Gang, Mr. Xiao Hu is the weakest because he is the adopted son of the gang leader Mr. Hu and the gang's key training target. Except for him, who has perfect martial arts cultivation at the second level of qi and blood, the other two guardians are all at the third level of qi and blood.
According to information from Nanquanli Lane Town Fusi Li, Qing Ye, the deputy leader of the Hutou Gang, is suspected of having three levels of Qi and blood. The leader of the gang, Mr. Hu, was a martial arts master at the fourth level of Qi and Blood. However, in recent years, due to old age and weakened strength, his strength should no longer be at its peak, and it is only slightly stronger than the ordinary three-level Qi and Blood Perfection.
"The third level of qi and blood is enough to make the Tiger Head Gang take notice! It's a pity that my strength cannot be seen in the light, so I still need to hide it."
Chen Pingan felt a little hot in his heart. The third level of qi and blood can make the Hutou Gang take it seriously, but what about the fourth level of qi and blood?
That would probably make the Tiger Head Gang work hard to please them! ?
With expectations for the future, after Chen Ping'an and Chen Erya had breakfast, they went to Nanquanli Lane Town Fusi to go on business.
Nanquanli Lane Town Fusi is still the same as before. They go to the regular meeting, give a speech, and then go to patrol the streets according to the location assigned by the department.
Several people were wearing uniforms and walking in the streets, still quite majestic.
With Houtou and Dashan joking and chatting, Chen Pingan's day was not boring at all.
After getting off the job, Chen Pingan went straight home.
"I wonder what my daughter cooked today?"
On the way home, Chen Ping'an thought so in his heart.
After an afternoon of consumption, he was already hungry. After turning a corner, Chen Pingan saw the door of his courtyard open in the distance.
Um! ?
Chen Ping'an's pupils shrank suddenly.
There's someone in the yard! There are several more! Who is it?
Chen Ping'an's face darkened, his pace quickened, and he ran straight home.
"Little girl, don't be ungrateful! If you don't pay, don't blame me for being rude!"
The speaker was the rogue Liu'er, a confidant of Master Xiao Hu of the Hutou Gang. He looked at the little girl not far away with a fierce look on his face. Behind him stood two rogue followers, also with malicious intentions on their faces.
"The aunt next door said that the monthly money of the Hutou Gang is based on head. A young man is one denarius, a young woman is half a denarius, and the elderly and children are all twenty small denarii. There are only two people in the family, my brother and me. It’s only one hundred and twenty cents per month. How can I pay two cents of silver?”
Chen Erya had a trace of fear on his face, but he still stared at the people in front of him stubbornly, holding a black cloth bag tightly in his hand.
"The rules of our Hutou Gang have never changed! The monthly salary of our Hutou Gang is never less than two taels of silver! There are only two of you in your family, do you still want Mr. Liu and me to help make up for the rest? !? Say! Do you want to hand it over or not?”
The rogue Liu'er approached Chen Erya.
"I won't pay you two cents of silver!"
The little girl said stubbornly.
"Okay, you won't pay, right!?"
The rogue Liu'er turned around, lifted the table, and pushed it to the ground.
The table was originally full of food, but when he pushed it down, the bowls and chopsticks fell down, the vegetable soup spilled, and it became a mess.
Looking at the mess in the yard, Pipi Liuer felt happy.
"No one can refuse to pay the Tiger Head Gang's monthly payment!" After saying that, he wanted to reach out and take away the black cloth bag in Chen Erya's hand. It's just that he didn't expect that the thin little girl in front of him was clenching so tightly. His grasp was not successful, but instead he pulled the little girl away a little.
He felt cruel in his heart and exerted force on his hands, pushing Chen Erya away, and the black bag fell into his hands.
Popi Liu'er is a beginner in martial arts, so his strength will naturally not be small. Chen Erya was pushed to the ground and was rubbed by an uneven stone. The skin on her arm was broken and blood flowed out.
However, the little girl didn't care about this. She looked at Liu'er and shouted: "Give me the money back!"
"Little girl, you're quite stubborn? Hahaha, that's interesting." The two followers laughed.
"Interesting." Pipi Liu'er also sneered: "Little girl, are you asking for money rather than your life?"
He stepped forward and picked up Chen Erya's clothes. Just as he was about to give Chen Erya a beating to vent his anger, an angry shout came from outside the yard.
"Let me go!"
Chen Ping'an was very fast. He rushed into the yard, passed the two rogue followers, and grabbed Liu'er's arm.
"open!"
Chen Ping'an looked at Liu'er coldly.
"Brother~"
Chen Erya seemed to have found support.
"Nanny, don't be afraid." Chen Ping'an comforted Chen Erya, but the coldness in his eyes did not change at all. He looked at Liu'er coldly, his tone as cold as ice.
"Article 178 of the Daqian Law: Anyone who breaks a door to commit murder will be punished with thirty rods and five years in prison!"
"If there are casualties, the perpetrator will be punished with a hundred sticks and twenty years of imprisonment!"
Chen Ping'an's voice sounded in Liu'er's ears.
"Chen Ping'an, are you using Da Qianlu to suppress me!?"
Liu'er made a loud voice, trying to suppress Chen Ping'an with his momentum.
"Those who cause irreparable situations."
Chen Ping'an ignored Pipi Liu'er and kept talking word by word.
"Death with a stick!"
"Death with a stick!? Ridiculous! My Hutou Gang collects monthly money normally, how can I be involved in death with a stick? Kill me with a stick!? Just you?"
"Just rely on Daqianlu! Just rely on Zhenfusi!"
Chen Ping'an stared at Liu'er. It has to be said that Chen Ping'an had a certain momentum at this time, and Liu'er was stared at by him unnaturally for a while.
"Zhenfu Si! Zhenfu Si! Who do you think you are as a temporary servant? How dare you threaten me with Zhenfu Si?"
"If you don't believe it, you can try it."
Chen Pingan's tone was calm.
Looking at the expressionless Chen Ping'an in front of him, and wondering what he thought of, Pipi Liu'er loosened his grip on Chen Erya's clothes.
"Get lost! I don't have time for this!"
He glanced at the black cloth bag in his hand, and then looked at his surroundings.
"You are lucky today! Let's go!"
"Sixth Master?"
The two rogue followers were a little confused and thought they wanted to teach the boy in front of them a lesson. I never thought that Mr. Liu was ready to leave.
"Walk."
The rogue Liu'er looked gloomy and walked out of Chen Ping'an's yard.
Seeing this, the two rogue followers followed. Before leaving, there was a naughty man with an inch head who gave Chen Pingan a vicious look.
