The world of Taoism

Chapter 23 Sending everyone to the underworld
The rune sword is estimated to be three days.

After three days, the mysterious man's injury should improve.

At that time, they might launch a counterattack against Zhou Xuan.

So Zhou Xuan wanted to collect evidence of the Su family's crimes within three days, or find an excuse to enter the Su family.

Otherwise, there is nothing, and it is not easy for the superiors to search the door.

If it was the heyday of more than a hundred years ago, no matter what evidence or not, just rush to the door.

It's different now, this is a place where Jing Tiansi's forces have never set foot.

So find a legitimate reason, a suitable reason to catch the ghost and a remnant of evil, and leave no one else talking.

Zhou Xuan felt a little helpless when he saw it.
What the government wants is rules, and many times it is wasted on internal friction.

Zhou Xuan put away the letter, and then walked to the Cao Gang headquarters.

The leader of the Cao Gang is named Lu Gaofeng, known as Lu Sanye.

Legend has it that Lu Gaofeng used to be a water bandit with ruthless methods; later, he gradually cleared his name and used his accumulated power to monopolize this piece of river.

Even the government has to look down on him.

Not only that, according to the information given by Fu Jian.

Lu Gaofeng is arrogant and arrogant, he doesn't even give the government face, it seems that there is a backer behind him.

Fu Jian thought to himself, this so-called backstage might be the Su family.

Although Su Shilong is known as a great Confucian, he still has to eat to support his family, and how can he support such a big family with a meager salary.

In addition to the family property, he also has business dealings with the outside world.

The Su family has a stake in this Cao Gang.

Jialing Tower was built by the Cao Gang, and it is a combination of brothels, casinos and restaurants.

Five floors high, people come and go.

Zhou Xuan came to the front of Jialing Tower, and then stepped into it.

As soon as I entered, I heard a noisy sound, and a lively atmosphere rushed towards my face.

The first floor is a place for merchants to drink and eat. The shouts of guests and the pungent smell of alcohol made Zhou Xuan frowned.

At this time, a junior greeted him.

"Guest officer, are you here to play or to eat and drink?" Xiao Er said respectfully.

"Call your supervisors to come here!"

Xiao Er was taken aback when he heard the words, saw the clothes Zhou Xuan was wearing, and obediently went to find the hall deacon.

Xiao Er has been in the classroom for many years, and still has a little vision.

Zhou Xuan's body was well-dressed, his skin and hands didn't look like he often slept in the open, and he looked like he had a high status.

After a while, a black-faced strong man came over.

"What does the guest officer want me for?" the black-faced burly man asked.

This black-faced burly man had a fierce look on his face, but he spoke surprisingly kindly, without any airs.

Zhou Xuan directly took out the official document, which was stamped with the seal of the county magistrate, and ordered: "The government is doing business, take me to your leader Lu Gaofeng, without delay."

The black-faced burly man looked at the words above, and his heart suddenly felt, and then he smiled and said:
"I'm going to report to the leader right now, can the honored guest wait for a while? Xiao Liu, serve tea to the honored guest."

Zhou Xuan sat for a while, and the black-faced strong man turned back, followed by two followers, and said with a smile: "Master Zhou, the lord is welcome."

Zhou Xuan followed the black-faced burly man up to the fifth floor.

Entering the hall, a middle-aged strong man sat on the main seat.

This person's face was dark, his brows were wrinkled into Sichuan characters, he was not angry and majestic, exuding a fierce aura, his eyes were as sharp as a wolf's.

Standing beside him was an expressionless man with a long scar on his face.

The other one is short and fat, with a three-stroke mustache, and a shrewd look in his eyes.

There were five or six people sitting next to the hall, wearing exquisite clothes, who seemed to be the core figures of the Cao Gang.

The middle-aged brawny man is the leader of the Cao Gang, with thousands of underlings in his hands, a ruthless character who would shake the entire Jiajiang River by three points.

Next to it should be the deputy gang leader and military adviser.

"This is Lord Jingtiansi Zhou, please meet me soon." Lu Gaofeng said with a smile, stood up and cupped his hands at Zhou Xuan.

Lu Gaofeng looked kind, not like a ruthless gang leader.

The rest of the subordinates called Master Zhou and saluted Zhou Xuan, but their expressions were perfunctory.

He actually knew that I was from Jing Tiansi, it seems that Lu Gaofeng is indeed well-informed.

Zhou Xuan thought to himself, and a smile appeared on his face: "Bangzhu Lu, I have been waiting for a long time."

Several people immediately became polite, and Lu Gaofeng enthusiastically introduced his subordinates.

The deputy head of the gang is named Jiang Lingchuan, who masters the thugs of the Cao Gang and has high martial arts skills.

Another fat man named Lin Xue, with a delicate name, was very shrewd and held the financial power of the Cao Gang.

"Master Zhou is new here, why don't you let me be the host, how about having fun in this building, Jialing Loutou is proficient in everything..." Lu Gaofeng laughed.

"No, I'm here to inquire about something, I wonder if it's convenient for Chief Lu?"

After speaking, Zhou Xuan glanced at the people around him.

Lu Gaofeng waved his hand: "There are core brothers all around, so don't avoid suspicion, Master Zhou, please tell me if you have anything to do!"

Seeing Lu Gaofeng's trust, the surrounding subordinates were all touched.

Zhou Xuan said bluntly: "I don't know what is the relationship between Chief Lu and the Su family?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the deputy gang leader and Lin Xue changed slightly, and they couldn't help but glance at Lu Gaofeng.

Lu Gaofeng looked normal, shook his head and sighed:

"The Su family is a scholarly family. I once visited at home, but unfortunately they looked down on us mud legs. As for the relationship? There must be no relationship."

"Really? I heard that the Cao Gang has done a lot of things for the Su family, and it seems that human lives are involved?" Zhou Xuan said meaningfully.

Lu Gaofeng's face changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly.

"Master Zhou, I don't like to hear your words. Lu is a law-abiding citizen. He usually treats people well and abides by the law. How could he do such an outrageous thing?"

Suddenly, a big man with a black face stood up and scolded: "Surnamed Zhou, I respect you as an official, don't push yourself too hard, you don't even have a soldier under you, how dare you come to Jialing Tower to play wild!"

"Sixth, what are you talking about, let me out!" Lu Gaofeng shouted in a deep voice.

The black charcoal man snorted coldly, and then walked out the door.

"Master Zhou, I hope you don't pay too much attention to me, I hope you don't mind too much." Lu Gaofeng expressed a perfunctory expression.

Jing Tiansi has a great reputation, but now he is just two or three big cats and kittens.

I have someone to back me up, so why be afraid of this unknown junior.

Lu Gaofeng knew that Jing Tiansi's people had methods that ordinary people could not guess.

Could it be that under the watchful eyes of all the people, the people in the government dare to attack him for no reason?
"It doesn't have to be like this, but I was rude and wronged Chief Lu." Zhou Xuan didn't care at all.

"Master Zhou, I still have some important things to do here, you see..." Lu Gaofeng clearly wanted to chase away the guests.

Zhou Xuan turned around and went out, and there were faint titters from the crowd behind him.

Suddenly, he turned around again.

"Look at my memory, I almost forgot my gift, I have something for Lord Lu."

Just when Lu Gaofeng turned around in doubt.

Zhou Xuan's figure was agile, spanning a distance of three meters in an instant, and drew out a gleaming dagger with his right hand.

Zhou Xuan moved forward without hesitation, like an ancient blood-splattered five-step assassin, with a dagger like a dexterous poisonous snake.

"How dare you...er..." Before Lu Gaofeng finished speaking, the dagger directly pierced his right eye and penetrated deeply into his skull.

The eyeballs burst open immediately, and the brain mixed with blood dripped to the ground.

"Send everyone to the Underworld..."
