Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 207 - 200: I, Zhang San, carry out cases without needing evidence!

Chapter 207: Chapter 200: I, Zhang San, carry out cases without needing evidence!

The martial artist surrounded by torches knew he couldn’t escape the moment he saw Zhang San.

But he still looked at Zhang San with an unyielding defiance.

"Town Martial Office’s own, use whatever methods you have! If I even furrow my brows, I’m no hero!"

Zhang San laughed.

"I like those who talk tough. Come, beat him to a pulp for me."

As soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned.

Even the members of the Town Martial Office couldn’t understand—having gone to all this trouble to capture him, just to beat him to death?

The other party was also shocked. Aren’t you supposed to gradually increase intensity? How come you’re going full force right from the start?

But Big Head Wang was very obedient, charging forward with a few people to pin down the opponent, unleashing a brutal beating, and in doing so, sealing the opponent’s Qi to prevent him from escaping amidst the chaos.

The result was the opponent being pinned down and savagely beaten by a group of people.

After seven or eight people finished their beating, Zhang San, looking at the other party lying in a pool of blood barely hanging on to life, immediately applied Wood Series Spell to treat his injuries.

As the opponent had just caught his breath, Zhang San called out to the female disciples who had just joined the Town Martial Office nearby: "You all, come here and hit him. It’s a good practice to learn how to beat someone. Ximen Jinxing, come and provide guidance."

"Yes."

Then, the martial artist, who hadn’t even had time to stand up, began to be brutally beaten by a group of female warriors.

Once the beating was over, Zhang San continued to treat the injuries.

Meanwhile, the eleven Pond Masters watching the spectacle from a distance had expressions even more ferocious than the beaten man.

"Military Chief Zhang really is ruthless! Oh dear, that Groin Kick, it’s actually a continuous combo!"

"Do you guys think Military Chief Zhang is just dealing with this martial artist who sneaked in? He is intimidating the surrounding martial artists. Just think about it, over a thousand people came with the Town Martial Office. Half were previously female disciples from the Dragon Serpent Gang, the other half from the Mysterious Soldiers Sect. How many true Town Martial Office people are there? But now, who dares to defy Zhang San? This is called intimidation!"

"Speaking of which, wasn’t it through using the Language of All Things that Military Chief Zhang got the Giant Python to help capture this guy?"

At the mention of the Giant Python, the eyes of the eleven Pond Masters present all lit up.

After the Gang leader and the two vice leaders who understood the Language of All Things died, no one else in the Dragon Serpent Gang could communicate with these Giant Pythons.

But the disciples still dared not fail to feed the Giant Pythons with food. After all, if those Giant Pythons got too hungry and there was nothing else to eat, they would have to eat people.

If Zhang San could take all these Giant Pythons away, that would save a considerable unnecessary expense for the Dragon Serpent Gang.

At this moment, the captured martial artist, after being repeatedly pummeled by the crowd, could no longer withstand it.

You hit me, I can endure it.

But continuously aiming Groin Kicks at me, that’s too much!

Then, Zhang San walked over and set up a soundproof Barrier, squatted down, and asked the other party, "Now, will you talk?"

The other party glanced at Zhang San with annoyance and coldly said, "Did you ever consider that I have backers that you can’t afford to provoke?"

Zhang San laughed coldly.

"Isn’t it just Governor Chen Jingxue? Just a Governor, he amounts to nothing! Now spit it out, what’s really going on?"

The other party was shocked, never expecting Zhang San to already know who was behind him.

"It’s not... You already know who’s behind me, and you still let them beat me?"

Zhang San laughed.

"I naturally hope you’ll say something I don’t know. You’re skilled in Shadow Trick, and such a person would normally not be employed, for you are too good at stealing information. So you must be a trusted confidant of Chen Jingxue. Being a trusted confidant, you must surely know some things others don’t, right?"

It never crossed the other party’s mind that this young man from the Town Martial Office would not only be good-looking but also so smart.

"Indeed, I am privy to some information others aren’t. I’ve been with Governor Chen when he met the Dragon Serpent Gang leader Pang Gezhuang, who had a woman and the vice-leader Lv Dagen by his side at the time. So Lv Dagen knows about our dealings with each other."

"And now with the Dragon Serpent Gang leaderless, there are rumors that Pang Gezhuang was just a decoy and the real Gang leader of the Dragon Serpent Gang is actually the former Officer Bai Yucheng from the Town Martial Office. So Governor Chen sent me to find Lv Dagen, saying he should know where the ledger is. Once, when a business deal went sour, Bai Yucheng threatened Governor Chen with the ledger. Therefore, Lv Dagen must know where the ledger is."

In that moment, Zhang San couldn’t help thinking back to every encounter he had had with Lv Dagen.

It seems that guy is quite clever, but why do I always feel like he’s easy to deceive?

However, what can be ascertained now is that this Chen Jingxue isn’t so clean either.

"Okay, I’ve got it, thank you."

Hearing this, the martial artist on the ground immediately asked, "Can you let me live?"

Zhang San smiled and countered, "Do you think I’m the kind of person who is fond of killing?"

"No."

"You... really can’t judge people accurately."

Pff—

...

The hottest spot in Hezhou is Yunxiao Pavilion.

Yunxiao Pavilion is so popular that even Governor Chen Jingxue often comes here to "supervise" the work.

Today, Chen Jingxue sat at the highest spot opposite the stage, nodding his head to the music.

His left hand rested on the thigh of a well-shaped woman on his left, his right hand on the waist of another woman with delicate skin on his right.

The Dragon Slaying Alliance and the Dragon Serpent Gang had already started fighting, and he had received the news early on.

Next, he just waited for the good news of their mutual destruction, as well as the good news that his trusted men would bring back the ledger left by Bai Yucheng.

With this ledger, once handed over, the Crown Prince would surely promote him mightily.

What benefit is there in being a governor on the Chuan-Yu Road? One must move towards the capital to earn more.

At this moment, a young man dressed in white came over and sat next to him, picking up a pair of chopsticks to start picking up food.

After eating a few bites, he even poured himself a cup of wine.

"This wine isn’t bad, good stuff."

Chen Jingxue frowned and glanced at the handsome young man, asking, "Who are you?"

The young man looked up at Governor Chen and said with a smile, "I’m from the Town Martial Office. Your subordinates have spilled all the beans about your deeds."

Chen Jingxue raised his hand, and the women accompanying him in eating and drinking immediately withdrew.

Chen Jingxue said with a cold face, "I have no idea what you’re talking about."

At this point, the handsome young man, still picking up food, wasn’t in a hurry and pointed towards somewhere not far away.

"Sorry, one of your subordinates died in the chaos, and we couldn’t be bothered to look for his body. These two halves, you recognize them, right?"

"The one sitting there who has already started wetting his pants; next to him, the one who seems to be lying face down on the table, but in fact, his head has been smashed to pieces; and the one in that jar, since I accidentally smashed him to bits with one punch, we could only stuff him into the jar. We spilled some along the way, so it counts as half a body."

Seeing this scene, the color drained from Chen Jingxue’s face.

"Do you realize I am a Great Sui governor! Accusing an official like me without evidence, do you understand the gravity of your crime!" roared Chen Jingxue as he slammed the table.

Only then did Chen Jingxue notice that, without knowing when, the performance on the stage had ended, and even all the guests in the hall in front had disappeared.

In the entire Yunxiao Pavilion, there were only himself, the young Martial Artist next to him, and the people from the Town Martial Office not far away.

The young man smiled.

"Evidence?"

"Right! Without evidence, you have nothing on me!"

The young man couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter, saying, "When Zhang San handles a case, where is the need for evidence? Just by arresting you and giving you a beating, you’ll spill everything about the people behind you, and that’s that!"

"Don’t worry, if you don’t talk, it doesn’t matter. I can claim that you incited Martial Artists to rebel, and once these Martial Artists are suppressed by the Town Martial Office, one of them who slips through will come back for revenge. By the time we arrive, you’ll already have been killed."

Chen Jingxue sneered coldly and said, "But this way, anyone with clear eyes can see through it. Aren’t you afraid of retaliation?"

Zhang San laughed.

He realized that this Governor Chen did indeed have some brains.

Unfortunately, not enough of them.

"Is it possible that the Town Martial Office actually wants someone to seek revenge? Once someone does, that avenger will be your secret mastermind, and the Town Martial Office can bite down hard on them. What a heavenly merit it would be!"

At that moment, Chen Jingxue felt a chill run down his spine from head to toe.

Despite his years of office, it was the first time he had encountered such an unscrupulous and heartless madman!

A madman!
