This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 76 - The Dirty Affairs of the World

Chapter 76: Chapter 76 The Dirty Affairs of the World

When Li Fei first transmigrated, after reading the “Great Blue Chronicles,” he knew that this feudal dynasty, which had been established for over five hundred years, must be thoroughly corrupt.

Afterward, when he saw that a local gang, the Tiger Saber Gang, could actually control the Martial Arts Hall and even directly influence the election of the Inspector General, Li Fei was not particularly stirred.

He simply felt that this was the way of the world; there was nothing remarkable about it.

After all, having lived through those dark two years in his previous life, Li Fei had actually grown accustomed to it.

It wasn’t until he reviewed the cases that Feng Zhenshan had handled and listened to this old man’s account that Li Fei truly understood what a completely “rotten” feudal dynasty meant for the commoners at the bottom.

The darkness he was seeing now was probably just a tiny, insignificant speck of dust accumulated over the more than five hundred years of the Da Lan Dynasty’s existence.

...

Compared with the civilized society of his previous life, this world was more raw, more bloody, more oppressive, and more despairing!

As someone who was always cautious, Li Fei had long been accustomed to being prudent in his actions. He thought he should remain a dispassionate observer, as in his previous life, a single impulsive act had brought about two years of oppression and ultimately led to his sudden death…

But after hearing the old man’s story, Li Fei couldn’t help but feel angry.

Perhaps it was because the other’s powerlessness inevitably reminded him of his own experiences in his past life.

Li Fei’s initial purpose in taking on the task involving the Tiger Saber Gang was to gain the opportunity to participate in more important actions later, which might allow him to gather crucial evidence as groundwork for confronting the Tiger Saber Gang in the future; the Third Level Protective Clothing was of secondary importance.

But now, he was undertaking this mission for more than just confronting the Tiger Saber Gang.

In his previous life, he was an ordinary civil servant with no background, forced to endure oppression, unable to resist.

But in this life, he had a blade in his hands!

“Old man, there may truly be no ‘law’ in this world.”

Li Fei looked into the other’s eyes, “But there is still justice.”

With that, he stood up and left the yard.

The old man was stunned, and then he shook his head, muttering to himself,

“Justice?”

“Where is justice, really?”

…

Under the cover of night, a string of cars drove out of the back gate of the Court of Judicial Review.

The cheapest ‘Pegasus’ brand car cost over thirteen hundred yuan, and not a single one of the cars that came out of the Court of Judicial Review was a Pegasus; they were all more high-end, more expensive luxury cars.

From this, it was evident that the officials in the Court of Judicial Review were indeed dripping with wealth.

Three luxury cars drove out of the Court of Judicial Review one after the other, eventually turning onto a street in Kaiping District.

Kaiping District was the most developed district of Xing City and also a well-known affluent area—the average housing prices here were more than three times that of older districts like Qingyuan District!

The three cars finally stopped in front of the gate of a compound, with the people in the car ahead and the one following getting out first—a total of eight individuals quickly surveyed the surroundings and formed a guard line.

All of these individuals were private guards, each holding a blade.

Then, from the middle car, a burly man got out from the passenger seat, two single-handed war axes stuck in his waist.

The man went to the rear seat and opened the car door for the person inside.

A man with a goatee, thinning hair, wearing the uniform of the Court of Judicial Review, and with a frown on his face, stepped out of the car.

“Feng Zhenshan! Lord Feng!”

As the frowning man exited the vehicle, not far away, a man in a suit ran over with two strong men, waving as they approached.

“Stop!”

The guards on the outskirts immediately drew their blades to block these three individuals.

“Lord Feng, it’s me!”

The man in the suit kept waving towards them.

Feng Zhenshan glanced at the approaching figure, yawned, and said wearily,

“Let him come over alone.”

Subsequently, the guards allowed the suited man to approach Feng Zhenshan, while the burly man with two single-handed war axes at his waist placed his hands on the handles, ready to act at any moment.

“Lord Feng.”

The suited man looked at Feng Zhenshan with an ingratiating smile.

“Did you bring the money?”

Feng Zhenshan gave the other a glance and asked languidly.

“Got it, got it!”

The suited man produced a wad of cash from his chest, all in thirty-yuan denominations, the largest available.

Feng Zhenshan didn’t immediately reach out to take the money but glanced at the burly man beside him.

The burly man stepped forward and took the stack of bills from the suited man, confirming everything was in order before handing it over to Feng Zhenshan.

Feng Zhenshan quickly counted the bills and then stashed them inside his coat, saying to the suited man,

“The person you’re looking for is in the trunk, take her yourself.”

“Thank you so much, sir.”

The suited man hurried to the back of the car and opened the trunk.

Inside was a burlap sack, with a living person inside, continuously moving and making muffled noises.

The suited man dragged the sack out of the trunk with force, then untied the ropes to reveal the person inside.

It was a disheveled and dirty young woman.

Upon seeing the young woman’s face, the suited man’s expression twisted with hatred:

“Bitch, you killed my son. Now that you’re in my hands, I’ll make your life a living hell!”

Beside them, Feng Zhenshan yawned again, impatiently saying,

“Hurry up and take her! Remember, don’t kill her, and don’t maim her. I want her back in one piece in a month.”

The young woman’s father-in-law had already mortgaged their house and couldn’t squeeze out any more money, so Feng Zhenshan had a sudden idea. He told the victim’s father, the suited man, that for a price, not only could he sentence the murderous couple to death, but he could also hand over the young woman for a month to satiate his vengeance for his son’s death.

Since they were doomed to die anyway, why not put them to some use?

Upon hearing this, the suited man readily agreed, leading to this transaction.

“I really know how to make money.”

Feng Zhenshan stroked his goatee, feeling somewhat proud of himself.

This one case had earned him several years’ salary!

Just as the suited man was about to drag the sack-enclosed young woman away, she began to struggle furiously.

Slap!

The suited man slapped her hard across the face, loosening the cloth gag in her mouth.

The young woman spat out the cloth and looked towards Feng Zhenshan, screaming with a piercing voice,

“Evil official, do you have no regard for the law? Aren’t you afraid of retribution?!”

Feng Zhenshan frowned slightly.

Without needing to speak, the burly man next to him pushed the suited man away, then crouched down and stuffed the cloth back into the young woman’s mouth.

“Mmmphhh—”

The young woman struggled desperately, fixing Feng Zhenshan with a gaze filled with extreme hatred.

Feng Zhenshan felt slightly uncomfortable under that stare. He walked up and looked down at the young woman,

“The law?”

Bang!

He suddenly kicked her hard in the head,

“I am the law!”

The young woman was knocked unconscious by the blow, and Feng Zhenshan looked towards the suited man,

“Hurry up and take her away.”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

The suited man hastily began to drag the sack containing the young woman along the ground away from them.

After they passed beyond Feng Zhenshan’s protective circle, the two thugs who had come with the suited man immediately stepped forward to help, lifting the sack.

“Thank you, Mr. Feng.”

Before leaving, the suited man didn’t forget to bow and thank Feng Zhenshan.

Feng Zhenshan could not be bothered to watch him and turned to head back into his yard.

Just as he was reaching the gate, he suddenly heard two dull thuds, followed by the terrified voice of the suited man,

“What do you want to do?!”

A shock went through Feng Zhenshan, and he quickly turned to look.

He saw that the suited man, who had just left, was struck down by a blade, his two thugs already dead, their heads relocated, lying in a pool of blood.

A figure wearing a black martial robe, donning a green Evil Ghost mask, and wielding a blade, was walking towards them.

Their gaze penetrated the tens of meters between them, settling on Feng Zhenshan, a chilling voice emerging from beneath the horrifying mask,

“Let’s see what the law looks like?”
