In the lobby.
Li Hu was sitting in an armchair, drinking tea served by a servant. Behind him stood seven or eight constables. Outside the door, there were some servants of the Zi Mansion looking around curiously. They didn't know why the chief constable of Jiang Yin City, Li Hu, suddenly came here.
"Chief constable, today's matter is really strange. The servants of the Black-tiger Gang clearly said that they had seen Ning Qi and his family, but in the blink of an eye, Zuo Juncai and the others are dead, and Ning Qi and the others have returned to the Zi Mansion. Could it be that the death of Zuo Juncai and the others is related to this boy?"
A constable said in a low voice with a puzzled look.
If it was a normal murder, Ning Qi would definitely be the number one suspect. But which constable in Jiang Yin City didn't know the methods of the Black-tiger Gang?
As the leader of the Black-tiger Gang, Zuo Juncai's martial arts were very strong. More than ten constables couldn't capture him alive, let alone kill him without using military equipment.
They knew the background of the new son-in-law of the Zi Mansion, Ning Qi. He was just a useless scholar. It was impossible for him to commit such a terrible crime.
"Whether it is related to this boy or not, we can only know when we see him. But I am more inclined to believe that the Zi Mansion hired a master. No matter what the possibility is, the Zi Mansion can't get away from this matter. Today, open your eyes and don't let go of any clues. Jiang Posha and Zuo Juncai are dead. If the City Lord asks for an explanation, we can't bear it!"
Li Hu used the lid to stir the tea leaves in the cup, then took a sip. Looking at his movements, it seemed that he drank tea often. He seemed to be very relaxed.
At this moment, two figures walked into the lobby one after another. Li Hu's eyes swept around and stopped on Ru Yun for a moment. Then, his eyes fell on Ning Qi.
"You must be Young Master Ning Qi, right?"
Li Hu stood up and smiled.
Ning Qi glanced at him indifferently and sat on the main seat as if nothing had happened. After the servant served tea, he took a sip and slowly said, "What brings you here?"
Li Hu didn't make a sound during the whole process. His eyes were secretly looking at Ning Qi. When Ning Qi opened his mouth, he smiled and said, "Today, something big happened in the Black-tiger Gang. I wonder if Young Master Ning knows about it?"
'This boy is definitely strange!' Li Hu thought to himself.
From the moment Ning Qi entered the main hall to the moment he opened his mouth, his every move and action did not resemble that of a frail scholar at all. Furthermore, when he saw the bailiffs, he did not reveal the slightest trace of fear. Everything he did seemed to be slow and unhurried, and even … a little arrogant.
How was this the weak scholar rumored to be?
This made Li Hu feel as if he was facing the City Lord of Dark River City! "Black Tiger Gang?
Could it be that you think that my Zifu Palace would mix with such lowly people?
Why did you come to my Zi Fu to inquire about the Black Tiger Gang? "
Ning Qi glanced at Li Hu and said indifferently.
Despicable?
A trace of anger flashed in Li Hu's eyes. The other bailiffs were also secretly angry. Ning Qi's words seemed to be pointing at the mulberry tree and scolding the locust tree.
As bailiffs, they naturally had an unclear relationship with the Black Tiger Gang. This kind of thing was basically known by everyone in Dark River City, but no one would mention it so bluntly in front of Li Hu and the others.
"Regardless of whether the Black Tiger Gang is despicable or not, today, the Gang Leader of the Black Tiger Gang, Zuo Juncai, and the Clan Leader of the Jiang Family, Jiang Posha, and more than thirty people have died a violent death. I heard that Young Master Ning has set foot in the Black Tiger Gang today, so I would like to ask Young Master Ning if you …" Li Hu smiled. "Have you seen the murderer, or … Young Master Ning, you're the murderer!"
When he finished speaking, Li Hu's body revealed a trace of solemnity.
Clang! Several bailiffs drew out the sabers at their waists and stared coldly at Ning Qi. If Ning Qi made any strange movements, they would act immediately. For a moment, the atmosphere in the main hall became somewhat somber.
Ru Yun had never seen such a scene before. Her little face was a little pale with fear. When Ning Qi saw this, he patted her shoulder lightly and then took a step forward to stand in front of Li Hu.
He was half a head taller than Li Hu, so when he came to stand in front of Li Hu, Ning Qi sized him up from head to toe.
Throughout the whole process, the bailiffs nearby suddenly felt that Ning Qi's aura seemed to be stronger than Li Hu's.
"What's your name?"
Ning Qi smiled faintly.
"Chief Constable of River Yin City, Li Hu!"
Li Hu said coldly.
Ning Qi's attitude really annoyed him, but the more Ning Qi behaved like this, the more suspicious he was of Ning Qi.
"Oh, Constable Li Hu."
Ning Qi nodded slightly and then chuckled. "No matter what happened to the Black Tiger Gang, do you have any evidence to prove that it has something to do with Zi Fu and me?"
"Haha, although I don't … No evidence?
Then what are they doing with sabers?
Are they trying to rob our people? "
Ning Qi glanced at the group of bailiffs and then shouted angrily, "Put down your sabers!"
In an instant, Ning Qi's aura changed rapidly. The group of bailiffs felt as if a huge rock was pressing on their chests, and even breathing became difficult. They subconsciously loosened their hands, and the sabers in their hands fell to the ground.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Li Hu retreated a few steps in succession, and his eyes were filled with shock and terror as he looked at Ning Qi. Just a moment ago, an extremely terrifying aura instantly erupted from the body of this seemingly weak scholar, and he hadn't even seen such an aura from the City Governor of Rivermoon City! Compared to this, he felt that the City Lord of River Yin City was really insignificant! "Impossible! It's impossible for a scholar to have such an aura. He's not a great scholar! "
Li Hu's mind raced. "Could it be that he really caused the disaster of the Black Tiger Gang?
This person … is a martial arts expert? "
Ru Yun was a little afraid of Li Hu and the others, but when he saw that they couldn't even hold their sabers after being shouted at by Ning Qi, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Constable Li, remember not to use sabers and swords in other people's houses if you don't have any evidence in the future."
Ning Qi walked in front of Li Hu and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.
Li Hu felt an enormous force coming from his knees with a thump, causing him to be unable to help but kneel down.
"Chief Constable?"
When the group of constables came to their senses, they had just picked up the sabers and weapons on the ground. But when they saw Li Hu kneel down again, their faces suddenly showed a blank expression.
"You!"
Li Hu's eyes were almost spitting fire, staring at Ning Qi. He only felt pain in his shoulders. From what he saw just now, he could conclude that Ning Qi was proficient in martial arts! The fact was already very obvious. The person who caused the disaster of the Black Tiger Gang must be the son-in-law of Zi Mansion, who was less than 20 years old and only had the image of a weak scholar in everyone's eyes! "He deliberately showed martial arts in front of me! "Damn it!" Li Hu was shocked and angry.
"Oh, Constable Li, why do you bow to me? I can't afford it, I can't afford it."
Ning Qi said in surprise, while stepping forward to help Li Hu up.
Li Hu's face suddenly changed, and subconsciously looked at Ning Qi's palms that held his arms. Then, a sharp pain suddenly rushed to his heart, and Li Hu let out a scream on the spot.
"Chief Constable?"
The group of constables was even more confused. "What happened to Li Hu today?"
