221: Chapter 214: Your Face Looks So Yellow!
After settling the dispute between the Wen Family and other Martial Artists, Zhang San told everyone to rest on the spot.
Then, he asked Big Head Wang to take good care of Hei and the Little Fox riding on Hei’s back.
Everyone was curious when they saw Zhang San returning with a snow-white Little Fox.
Especially Big Head Wang, who felt that the Little Fox looked familiar no matter how he looked at it.
“Wang Ziteng, does this Little Fox look familiar to you?”
Wang Ziteng curled his lips and said, “Isn’t this the sa Little Fox that Zhang San saved on the road that night when we were hurrying?”
Big Head Wang suddenly nodded in realization.
Then he whispered to Wang Ziteng, “It’s so strange, I feel so familiar with this Little Fox, just like seeing a relative.”
Wang Ziteng smirked, “Maybe your mother has reincarnated, why don’t you try calling her ‘mom’?”
Big Head Wang glanced at Wang Ziteng and snorted coldly.
“Little brother, if I call her ‘mom,’ what would you call her?”
Wang Ziteng was at a loss for words.
It seed that Big Head Wang was getting harder to bully.
Speaking of which, why was the position of the fourth brother vacant at the oath ceremony?
Could there be a fourth brother in the future that I can bully!
At this mont, Zhang San had already arrived at a secluded grove, set up a Formation around to prevent prying eyes from the outside, and began searching in the Gluttonous Bag for a mirror, only to realize that he had never put a mirror inside it.
“White Shadow, do you have a mirror?”
White Shadow erged, also with an embarrassed expression.
“I never use a mirror either.”
Having no choice, Zhang San waved his hand at White Shadow, “I have sothing very private to do, turn around and don’t look at .”
White Shadow got the hint and rged into the shadows of a nearby tree, leaving Zhang San’s shadow.
Then Zhang San made a small pit on the ground, unbuttoned his pants, and hissed…
Next, he took out a small abacus and began to dial.
When Cui Jiu saw that Zhang San had finally made contact, he was very happy, but he couldn’t help frowning when he saw Zhang San.
“Zhang San, your face looks so yellow!
Have you not been resting well recently?”
“Shut up!”
Zhang San was very upset about his yellow face.
“I am tracking Lv Dagen and should get the ledger soon.
But there are so things I need your help with.”
“Speak.”
“Since I still have people from the Wen Family by my side, knowing that the Wen Family is a distinguished family in the Capital and has suddenly reached into Chuan-Yu Road, they are likely after the ledger as well.
So, you need to give a contact thod to reach our people in Fuling City.”
Cui Jiu nodded, originally the Heavenly Punishnt Sect also planned to support Zhang San.
After showing the contact details of the liaison on the mirror, Cui Jiu asked Zhang San, “Is there anything else you need help with?”
“I also need you to help spread so information through other channels.
These ssages must not be spread through the Heavenly Punishnt Sect, as that might lead to suspicions about .
But it is crucial to let all the Martial Artists in Chuan-Yu Road know as soon as possible.”
Upon hearing this, Cui Jiu beca nervous as well.
“What is the information that needs to be spread quickly?”
“It’s the young master of the Wen Family from the Capital, Wen Ruchu, who ca to Chuan-Yu Road and joined the Town Martial Office.
He was arrogant and reckless, indiscriminately killing martial artists and even extorted the Corpse Nether Sect, arbitrarily capturing the righteous people of the Dragon Slaying Alliance.
Luckily, Zhang San ca out several tis to clean up his sses, or else he would have been dood.”
Cui Jiu grinned and asked, “With the news spreading like this, won’t people suspect it ca from you?
It sounds like you are boasting about yourself!”
“Mind your own business!
Besides, what I’ve said is based on facts, though so of these facts aren’t very solid.
However, it doesn’t matter.
As long as Wen Ruchu’s reputation in Chuan-Yu Road is ruined, there will be a chance to squeeze him out.
After all, he has the powerful Wen Family backing him.
If he stays here, it’s hard to say whose hands the ledger will end up in.”
Cui Jiu understood that the Wen Family was indeed a problem.
After ending the call, Cui Jiu imdiately did as Zhang San instructed.
anwhile, Zhang San also made contact with the highest authority of the Heavenly Punishnt Sect in Fuling City.
Zhang San never imagined that this person would be Xia, the sa one he had staged a fight with last ti.
“Xia, it’s you?
You’re in Fuling City.”
Xia, not expecting it to be Zhang San, couldn’t help but laugh.
“Yes, I’ve been investigating the Dragon Serpent Gang’s waterway business around here recently.
What’s up?
Do you have another staged fight for to join?”
“Pretty much, I’m about to take so people to Fuling City.
I suspect the ledger might be here.
So, I might need your help then.
Just giving you a heads-up, we’ll connect later.”
“Alright!
Just let know if there’s anything, and try to give a little more to the beggars you see on the road.”
Zhang San laughed and nodded in agreent.
After ending the contact with the Heavenly Punishnt Sect, Zhang San stood up and pondered the upcoming trip to Fuling City.
He could sense Lv Dagen’s general location, but pinpointing the exact spot was sowhat troubleso.
Because the Golden Light Divine Incantation had been away from his body for too long, the sensation was now sowhat blurry.
Clearly, although the Golden Light Divine Incantation could be used for marking, it could not be used for long-term marking.
This was a drawback, sothing to be mindful of in future uses.
Having dealt with the Heavenly Punishnt Sect, Zhang San then went back to gather the mbers of the Town Martial Office and headed straight for Fuling City.
Fuling City was the largest city in Lingzhou, and the city’s civil affairs were managed by a governor surnad Hu.
Zhang San did not know this governor’s na, but he deeply felt the governor’s administrative capabilities even before entering Fuling City.
The first clue was that before even entering the city gates, one could see people selling vegetables along the road outside the city.
Zhang San could not believe that such a large city as Fuling had no place for selling vegetables.
But why were these people selling vegetables outside the city?
As Zhang San and his group approached the city gate, they were asked to pay a two-coin entry tax, and then he understood.
It turned out that these farrs had to pay tax even before they could sell their vegetables inside the city.
But wouldn’t they have to pay taxes again when they re-entered the city after selling their vegetables outside?
Zhang San shook his head with a wry smile and said to the gatekeeper, “We are martial artists from the Town Martial Office.
Do we need to pay to enter as well?”
The man looked up at Zhang San on his black horse and shouted, “What’s so special about the Town Martial Office?
You have to pay too!
No money, no entry.”
Zhang San laughed, turned around, and called out to his followers from the Town Martial Office, “Orders from above, Town Martial Office mbers, scale the walls!”
The gatekeeper was startled upon hearing Zhang San’s command.
Following that, the martial artists from the Town Martial Office swiftly scaled the city walls.
The heights of Fuling City’s walls were truly nothing for these martial artists.
Yet, upon reaching the top of the walls, everyone was shocked by the scenes inside the city.
Zhang San jumped to the top of the wall and looked out over Fuling City.
The streets of the city were sparsely populated, and at a glance, the largest group of people turned out to be beggars.
At that mont, Zhang San finally understood why Xia was in Fuling City—it was a beggar’s haven!
Among the many beggars, one young beggar who occupied a spot on his own caught Zhang San’s attention.
