Starting as The Young Master of A Pharmacy, He Trained Swordsmanship in Seclusion For Twenty Years - Chapter 126

Qingyun County Town!

He Yan, standing nearby, also realized the crucial point of the matter.

It seemed that this one… was from Qingyun County Town.

Because of this, the Commander had even sent Qian Hao and Li Daren to be stationed over in Qingyun County Town.

Furthermore, he had unprecedentedly assigned one of the Black Xuan Birds to the two of them.

With all these signs, even a fool could guess

That the Lu Family Pharmacy must have a significant connection to Commander Lu.

Lu Xuan’s face turned cold at this point, and both He Yan and Su An felt a faint pressure emanating from him.

“What did those people find out?”

Su An answered Lu Xuan meticulously.

“As for that, this subordinate does not know.”

After Su An finished speaking, Lu Xuan said nothing more. His eyes grew deep and somber, as if he was pondering something.

Vice-Commander He also stopped in his tracks due to Lu Xuan’s interjection, showing no intention of leaving.

A moment later, Lu Xuan slowly began to speak.

“Vice-Commander He, you and Su An are to secretly capture those people and bring them to me.”

“I want to see them today.”

Investigating Huang Yangping’s cause of death?

Lu Xuan wanted to see exactly what those people had managed to find out.

If it posed any threat to his family, then they had only themselves to blame.

Anyone who dared to target the Lu Family Pharmacy – let alone some minor Judicial Official,

Even if it were the Emperor himself, Lu Xuan would absolutely not let them off.

“Yes, Commander!”

“We obey your orders!”

Upon hearing Lu Xuan’s decision, Vice-Commander He Yan and Su An agreed without hesitation.

Before leaving, Vice-Commander He Yan also reminded Lu Xuan about the matter in Lanshan County.

“Commander, regarding the Bloodthirsty Corpse Fiend in Lanshan County, should we send someone else?”

Lu Xuan glanced toward the door, then replied calmly.

“No need. It’s still early now; it won’t take much time.”

Based on his own estimated speed, he was confident he could reach Lanshan County town before nightfall.

White Path Prefecture City!
Luo Residence!

Inside the estate, in a large room, a middle-aged man in his forties sat alone. Standing before him was a man with stark white hair.

“Sir, I have secretly contacted those people from the Misty Rain Pavilion. They are asking for three thousand taels of silver!”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man paused the teacup at his lips, then set it down on a nearby table.

“Three thousand taels? How dare they open their mouths so wide?”

“Hmph, if I didn’t want to handle this matter openly, I wouldn’t need to resort to using these useless fools.”

This middle-aged man was Luo Jinghe, the Judicial Official of White Path Prefecture.

“Never mind, give it to them.”

“I want everyone in White Path Prefecture to know that no one just touches someone under my, Luo Jinghe’s, protection.”

“The Lu Family Pharmacy in Qingyun County town will be the example I make to warn others.”

Yesterday, when the men Luo Jinghe had sent to Qingyun County town to investigate Huang Yangping’s death returned,

They had found out absolutely nothing about the truth.

However, unwilling to give up, they simply changed their approach and started looking into the forces that had held grudges against Huang Yangping.

It turned out that the number of forces that had grievances with Huang Yangping was more numerous than the grains of sand in a desert.

They were spread almost throughout the entire Qingyun County town!

No matter how arrogant Luo Jinghe was, he couldn’t possibly target the entire county town.

Therefore, Luo Jinghe arbitrarily picked a suitable target.

And this Lu Family Pharmacy was the best choice for him to use to establish his authority.

This Lu Family Pharmacy not only had significant influence but also relatively low actual power.

So, getting rid of this Lu Family Pharmacy would be extremely easy.

Of course, to Luo Jinghe, matters like these were merely trivialities, small as a sesame seed.

Having made up his mind, Luo Jinghe listlessly raised his hand and gave a light wave, signaling the man before him to leave.

“Alright, you may go.”

“And also, prepare the carriage. I will be going to the prefectural office shortly.”

“Yes, Sir!”

When only Luo Jinghe remained in the room, his face gradually darkened.

“That useless Du Ma, what a waste of all my effort!”

The Du Ma Luo Jinghe referred to was the Magistrate of Fenglin County.

Namely, the Fenglin County Magistrate who had died some days ago at the hands of those two fox demons.

Luo Jinghe had schemed tirelessly to secure this position of Fenglin County Magistrate for Du Ma, wresting it from Prefect Hong Zhi.

In the end, that useless fool Du Ma hadn’t even lasted a year in the position of Fenglin County Magistrate before dying just like that.

Thinking of the price he had paid to secure that Fenglin County Magistrate position made Luo Jinghe’s heart bleed.

The reason he was going to the prefectural office later was because Prefect Hong Zhi had summoned them

To discuss the candidates for the three official positions of Magistrate, Assistant Magistrate, and Captain in Fenglin County.

“Damn it!”

If Du Ma hadn’t died at the hands of two great demons, Luo Jinghe would have suspected someone was working against him.

Hundred Flowers Pavilion!
The largest entertainment house in White Path Prefecture City, and also one of the city’s biggest money sinks.

Inside the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, five men sat in a luxurious private room, their faces spread with wild grins.

Each man had a graceful, beautiful woman accompanying him.

“Brother Yong, the fact that we brothers can enjoy ourselves here in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion today is all thanks to your brilliance.”

“Who would have thought that going to a place like Qingyun County town, we could leverage the Master’s prestige to score some unexpected gains!”

“Jie jie jie!”

“Especially those women from those minor county town factions, we played with them right in front of everyone.”

“And those useless fools didn’t even dare to utter a word of protest.”

As these words were spoken, the men in the private room became even more arrogant. Their sinister laughter made the women beside them tremble with fear.

The man sitting in the seat of honor looked to be about forty years old. He was the captain of the guards at the Luo residence, Wu Yong.

“Hmph, those trash, when they hear the Master’s name, where would they find the courage to resist us?”

“However, there were some people who didn’t know their place and actually disregarded us.”

Wu Yong thought back to that day when he had been humiliated by that Lu Family Pharmacy.

Originally, seeing that the Lu Family Pharmacy was a large, established business, he had wanted to take his men to extort some money from them, but ended up being beaten and thrown out.

He, a Marrow Tempering realm martial artist, how could he allow himself to be humiliated by people from such a small place?

Just when he wanted to move against the Lu Family Pharmacy,

The Magistrate of Qingyun County, along with the Chief of Police, actually showed up and gave them a thorough lesson.

If those officials hadn’t been wary of their Master’s status, they would probably have already been dead in Qingyun County town.

“Brother Yong, don’t worry. The Master won’t let that Lu Family Pharmacy get away with it.”

Hearing this, a fierce light flashed in Wu Yong’s eyes, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

“This is the consequence of daring to oppose us.”
