Chapter 49: The Tiger Eating People Case (Conclusion)

"Zhang Han was merely a frail scholar, how could he possibly match a martial man like me? With a single palm strike, I knocked him down and pinned him. He still thought I was my brother Changnian, and asked me what I wanted to do. I told him he had to be eaten by a tiger, and he thought it was completely absurd!"

Chang Rui sank back into the memories of the crime, even closing his eyes.

"The instinct for survival made him want to escape, but I trapped him firmly. He said he had a daughter suffering from lead poisoning to take care of and begged me to let him go! I said, for the sake of—"

No wonder Ruoxue reacted so strongly; Pei Shiyin's words had indeed struck right at her most painful spot.

"J-Just now, was Young Master Wu kneeling to that young man wearing... wearing a white shirt?" Long Hai asked Xuelan, his body trembling, his voice filled with terror.

Compared to Toda Zhinosuke, who felt that the business of this teahouse was rather mediocre upon entering, Chen Wan, who was following beside Zhao Tiehu, knew that this was one of Chen Liquan's intelligence stations set up within the city.

Legend has it that immortals dwell upon Penglai Fairy Island. Baochun did not know whether immortals resided here as well, but judging solely by the location of the divine temple, one could tell it was extraordinary.

However, their numbers were originally far greater than this. At the beginning, this patrol team of theirs numbered as many as one hundred thousand, but all the rest had died in battle on the spot, leaving behind only those of them with lower cultivation levels.

While ordinary citizens transported grain and stripped-down military uniforms and other such supplies, the supplies escorted personally by the guerrillas and regular troops were precious items, such as weapons and ammunition. Such supplies were generally not handled by civilians.

Yile took the Lao Gan Ma chili sauce and first sniffed it carefully, catching a hint of Wuli Township's Sichuan peppercorns, then took out his chopsticks and lightly dipped them into the red chili oil, tasting it to assess the quality of the Lao Gan Ma.

The car that came to pick us up was a Maybach. My only hobby in the past had been cars, and I still had two car magazines in my room, so I could recognize most cars—even a Maybach, which was famous for its low profile.

The children had a habit of practicing their martial arts early in the morning; without needing to be called when the time came, they spontaneously got up and walked out into the courtyard.

He had always been far too polite. When I first met him, I hadn't quite grasped his personality, but the more we interacted, the more I felt his character was truly wonderful. At most, he would wear a helpless expression, but the rest of the time he was entirely gentle—gentle yet unpretentious, with a sort of natural aura flowing through him.

How disheveled he looked now, reminding him of how arrogant he had been when he first clashed with Su Haishan, using the Invincible Vajra Divine Skill to charge forward recklessly, leaving Su Haishan with almost no room to counterattack.

"Furthermore, before spreading gossip, it is best to first figure out what is actually going on, lest you... make a fool of yourself." Having said that, Elder He did not look at her again, but stood up and walked away.

Xing Qianqiu first gathered all the monks in front of the Great Heroes Hall, and then had the court officers of the Mirror Division lead these monks into the Great Heroes Hall in batches.

The registering police officer immediately looked up and fixed his gaze on Tar, looking him up and down with sharp eyes. Anyone who had gone out last night, especially young women, was a primary target of surveillance.

"Watching television." With that, he brushed past her and walked into the room. Yu Haichen, standing behind her, remained silent for a moment, then walked over to the sofa and picked up his clothes.

With the monk certificate and this set of monk robes, Xu Ping and Fahai encountered very few troubles along the way. Even mountain bandits felt it was bad luck just seeing them, waving their hands for them to scram before they even got close, lest they delay their fortune-making at the foot of the mountain.

After calming his agitated emotions, Qin Xiang stared fixedly at the character's quest for a moment in a daze.

At that moment, Tang Ye leaned in and whispered a few words into his ear, causing Wusun's earlobes to turn slightly red.

"Your mother's illness seems severe, you should go check on her," Lü Jiangbei said sympathetically and understandingly.

As tonight's host, Hua Yueyue had already prepared her manuscript and a few deep breaths. Arriving backstage, the makeup artists had yet to arrive. She took out the evening gown that the boss lady had had delivered to her office that morning.
