As the most powerful Chief Constable in Nanquan Lane, Zheng Zhenwu had only to speak, and Spring Rain Pavilion had already prepared a girl for him.
The madam of Spring Rain Pavilion personally led the way, taking Zheng Zhenwu and Zheng Shiyong upstairs.
At Zheng Zhenwu's position, he was considered a significant figure in the lane.
"Who is that person? Why is the madam personally leading the way?"
"You don't know him? That's Chief Constable Zheng of Zhenfu Division!"
"Ah! Chief Constable of Zhenfu Division?! No wonder! No wonder the madam of Spring Rain Pavilion came to lead him personally."
"Indeed, if you want to make a living in Nanquan Lane, you have to manage everything up and down. You have to manage the surrounding Gangs, but the most important thing is to manage your relationship with Zhenfu Division."
"That's right. Compared to Zhenfu Division, these Gangs are nothing!"
"Shhh, watch your words. Be careful not to cause trouble with your mouth!"
"What's there to be afraid of! Do the Gang members dare to refute what I said? The Tiger Head Gang incident just happened!"
"If what you just said was heard, the Gang wouldn't refute it. It's just that you might have gotten yourself into trouble."
...
Watching Zheng Zhenwu go upstairs, the elegant guests in Spring Rain Pavilion discussed animatedly.
"My lord, this is it."
The madam smiled sweetly.
This Chief Constable Zheng commands six squads of Yamen Runners, basically the third in command at the Nanquan Lane Garrison Office. For such a person, she naturally had to be extra attentive and absolutely could not offend him.
"Mmm." Zheng Zhenwu nodded. Without much small talk with the madam, he led Zheng Shiyong into the room.
"These uncle and nephew are really having fun!"
The madam closed the door, muttering to herself.
Inside the room, Spring Rain Pavilion had already arranged two girls.
Zheng Zhenwu glanced at Zheng Shiyong, who understood.
"Come, girls, let's have some wine to liven things up!"
"Yes, master." The girls of Spring Rain Pavilion said charmingly.
A moment later, the two girls from Spring Rain Pavilion were drugged and fell unconscious on the bed.
Zheng Zhenwu reached out, repeatedly checking to confirm.
"Uncle, do we need to be so cautious just to kill that bumpkin?!"
Zheng Shiyong asked, puzzled, from the side.
"Foolish! Killing a Zhenfu Division Chief Constable is like taking your head off and putting it on your belt! If we're discovered, ten lives wouldn't be enough to pay!"
"You can never be too careful! Be careful when you go out later, don't let anyone discover us!"
Seeing Zheng Zhenwu's solemn expression, Zheng Shiyong repeatedly affirmed.
"To be honest, if Tan hadn't died, I would have really wanted to mend my relationship with him."
Zheng Zhenwu said with a grim face.
He had made this decision after careful consideration.
This kid Chen Ping'an, he didn't think much of him before. Now, the more he interacted with him, the more alarmed he became. In such a short period, less than a month, he had gone from a bumpkin who knew nothing of Martial Dao to a Martial Dao expert at Qi Blood Second Stage Perfection. Moreover, he even had connections in the Nancheng Suppression Office, becoming a Zhenfu Division Chief Constable, on equal footing with him.
It was foreseeable that Chief Constable would not be his endpoint! And Qi Blood Second Stage Perfection would not be his endpoint either.
Such a person was extraordinary!
Unfortunately, he had already made an enemy of such a person. Observing the other party's conduct, he didn't seem like someone who would let things go easily.
Although Tan Huacong's death seemed normal in all aspects, he always suspected it was related to Chen Ping'an!
Since he had already offended such a person, he might as well deal with him decisively.
If he didn't nip him in the bud while the other party was still weak, then when the other party rose, he would be the one to suffer.
"Let's go!"
Confirming that the two women were indeed in a coma, Zheng Zhenwu immediately got up.
"Remember, be careful in everything."
"With Uncle's move, it's a sure thing!" Zheng Shiyong subtly flattered him.
"This bumpkin really doesn't know his place. He's so arrogant after getting ahead! He made me toast and pour wine again and again. At the banquet just now, I tolerated him for so long! Soon, it will be time for him to pay the price!"
Zheng Zhenwu nodded, saying nothing.
He was at the Martial Artist with Qi and Blood Fourth Level Forging Bone Realm, while the other party was merely at Qi Blood Second Stage Perfection. With his deliberate planning, the other party, no matter what, could not escape his grasp.
If not for this, he would not have made such a risky choice.
...
Chen Ping'an walked alone on the street, the cold moonlight casting his long shadow.
The drinks at Spring Rain Pavilion had indeed gone on quite late. The entire street was deserted, appearing extremely quiet.
Ahead was a small alley. After passing through this alley and one more street, it would be Lihua Lane.
Suddenly, Chen Ping'an's expression subtly changed. His posture remained normal, but his right hand slowly and very discreetly moved to the saber at his waist.
Swish!
A flash of saber light appeared, and a dark figure leaped down from one side of the alley.
"Good timing!" Chen Ping'an sneered.
The saber at his waist was drawn from its sheath, like a sudden clap of thunder, the saber striking like a Dragon.
Whoosh!
This saber strike was not flashy; it simply and directly slashed towards the dark figure's head.
Zheng Zhenwu didn't expect Chen Ping'an to be so bold. He actually adopted a life-for-life fighting style. Facing his saber strike, he didn't dodge, but instead directly slashed at his vital point.
"Overestimating himself!"
Beneath the black mask, a hint of joy appeared on Zheng Zhenwu's face.
He had thought of many reactions Chen Ping'an might have when faced with a sudden attack, but the one he least expected was this life-for-life approach.
Ignoring everything, going straight for the vital point, the opponent, out of fear, would definitely hastily retract their move. It was a move to besiege Wei to rescue Zhao, turning a passive situation into an active one.
In many situations, this life-for-life method often produced miraculous results.
But this was based on the premise that the two sides were of similar Realms. If the Realms of the two sides were too far apart, then...
Death!
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Zheng Zhenwu's eyes. He had enough confidence that he could kill the other party directly before the saber struck him.
This was confidence derived from the Martial Dao Realm!
His saber, as he had expected, struck Chen Ping'an's body. However, it did not encounter the scene he had imagined; instead, it met with an unimaginable obstruction.
His saber strike seemed not to be cutting into flesh, but rather as if it were cutting into a piece of metal.
Just as Zheng Zhenwu was about to change his move to defend, he suddenly realized that, at some unknown point, he seemed to have flown up.
Yes, he had flown up!
Higher and higher, higher and higher. After reaching a high point, he began to slowly descend.
He seemed to see a headless body.
Where did this body come from...?
A hint of confusion flashed in Zheng Zhenwu's eyes.
With a "thump," he was heavily slammed onto the ground.
Just at the last moment, he seemed to suddenly understand something.
Oh, this was his body.
This was him...
Dead?
Killed by Chen Ping'an?
He had hidden his true strength so well!
Zheng Zhenwu's emotions did not last long before an immense regret and weariness surged into his heart. The next moment...
He completely plunged into darkness.
Nanquan Lane Garrison Office, Chief Constable Zheng Zhenwu, dead!
This scene left Zheng Shiyong, who was hiding to the side, ashen-faced, as if his soul was about to fly away.
His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief, his teeth chattering, and a chill spread throughout his body.
"Run! Run! Run!"
After a brief moment of freezing, Zheng Shiyong made the most correct choice.
However, just as he took one step, a sharp pain shot through the back of his right knee. While he was momentarily stunned, the other foot also felt a pain. Then, his entire body lost balance, and he fell to the ground.
Zheng Shiyong struggled to get up, and the moonlight suddenly dimmed. He looked up and saw a dark figure standing in front of him, looking down at him from above.
It was Chen Ping'an!
Zheng Shiyong fell into despair.
