Chapter 61

As the noise and shouting outside grew louder, Li Cheng had to stand up and said to Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou, "Xiaolong, Senior Fei Hou, please sit down. I'll go and handle it."

Huang Xiaolong shook his head, "Let's go out together." Since someone was causing trouble at the Li family silk shop, he couldn't just sit there and ignore it.

Li Cheng was naturally pleased to hear that Huang Xiaolong wanted to go out with him. Thus, the seven of them walked out of the hall and headed towards the front shop.

When Huang Xiaolong and the others arrived at the front shop, they saw more than ten people in blue attire throwing and smashing things inside the shop.

These people were throwing and smashing things while cursing loudly.

"What silk? It's just stinky cloth picked from a garbage pile, stinking to high heaven! How dare you use such stinky cloth to make clothes for us? Damn, you must be tired of living!"

"Smash it, smash it hard!"

Some of the shop assistants who tried to stop them were beaten by these people. Already, six or seven of them were lying on the ground, groaning in pain, their injuries not light.

Seeing this, Li Cheng's face changed, and he was both anxious and angry, "Stop, all of you, stop!"

However, the dozen people in blue attire seemed not to hear him and continued to throw and smash things even harder.

Li Cheng was furious and was about to step forward when suddenly one of them leaped up, spread his arms, and lunged at Li Cheng with a powerful claw, his aura not weak, indicating he was a late-stage Seventh Rank.

Li Cheng's face turned pale. Just as he was about to block, a figure moved faster than him, instantly striking the attacker and sending him flying. The attacker let out a惨叫 and crashed to the ground, his body curled up, looking as if he wouldn't survive.

The one who acted was a Ninth Rank guard from the Marshal's Mansion.

The situation suddenly changed, and the dozen blue-clad people who were smashing things stopped and looked over.

A middle-aged, muscular man who seemed to be the leader of the blue-clad group looked at the curled-up figure and his face darkened. Then he looked at Huang Xiaolong and the others.

"Who are you? This is the business of the Blue Eagle Gang. You'd better not meddle!" the middle-aged man said sternly.

The blue-clad people stopped smashing things and gathered behind the middle-aged man.

"Blue Eagle Gang!" Li Cheng's face changed dramatically.

Blue Eagle Gang? Huang Xiaolong looked puzzled. At this moment, a Tenth Rank guard from the Marshal's Mansion stepped forward and said to Huang Xiaolong, "Young Master, the Blue Eagle Gang is one of the three major gangs in the capital city. The gang leader, Jiang Wei, is a Tenth Rank expert and has good relations with many nobles in the capital."

One of the three major gangs in the capital? Huang Xiaolong nodded. These gangs were essentially the same as the so-called criminal organizations on Earth. However, since the Blue Eagle Gang was one of the three major gangs in the capital, their power was not to be underestimated.

Huang Xiaolong looked at Li Cheng. The Li family's shop shouldn't have any grudges with the Blue Eagle Gang, so they were likely acting on someone's orders.

"Indeed, the Blue Eagle Gang is one of the three major gangs in the capital!" the middle-aged man said proudly, then looked at Huang Xiaolong with a fierce expression, "In this capital, few dare to injure our people!"

Huang Xiaolong's face was indifferent, "Speak, who ordered you to cause trouble here?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face darkened, "Boy, which family are you from? What you're doing could bring destruction to your family!"

His words were not an exaggeration. Many families who offended the Blue Eagle Gang in the capital didn't have a good end.

When the middle-aged man finished speaking, the four guards from the Marshal's Mansion exchanged glances and all laughed.

Destruction?

A Blue Eagle Gang trying to destroy the Marshal's Mansion?

Huang Xiaolong also shook his head and smiled.

Seeing the four guards from the Marshal's Mansion laughing, the middle-aged man and his group looked even more displeased.

At this moment, Huang Xiaolong said to the four guards from the Marshal's Mansion, "Go and capture them. Find out who ordered them to cause trouble."

"Yes, Young Master!"

The faces of the Blue Eagle Gang members changed. Just as they were about to retreat in shock, it was too late. The four guards from the Marshal's Mansion moved swiftly, blocking their escape and attacking simultaneously.

Cries of pain echoed.

These Blue Eagle Gang members were generally Fifth or Sixth Rank. The middle-aged leader was stronger, but only at the peak of the late-stage Seventh Rank. How could they be a match for the four Ninth and Tenth Rank guards from the Marshal's Mansion? Soon, all the Blue Eagle Gang members were lying on the ground.

A Tenth Rank guard from the Marshal's Mansion, Wang Ning, looked at the middle-aged leader lying on the ground and asked coldly, "Our Young Master wants to know who ordered you to cause trouble here!"

The middle-aged man glared, spat out a mouthful of blood, and did not answer.

Wang Ning smiled coldly, grabbed the man's arm, and twisted it, breaking it with a snap.

The middle-aged man let out a cry of pain.

"If you don't want me to break both your legs, speak up," Wang Ning said coldly.

"I, I'll speak, I'll speak!" The middle-aged man's face turned pale, and he stammered, "A few days ago, someone came to the Blue Eagle Gang and ordered our leader to do this, to have our members cause trouble here!"

"Ordered?!" Huang Xiaolong's eyes flashed. Someone who could order the Blue Eagle Gang leader to do this must have a significant background.

Who was this person? And why were they targeting the Li family?

However, the middle-aged man didn't know the identity of the person, so the interrogation didn't yield any results.

Huang Xiaolong looked at Li Cheng, who shook his head. He couldn't think of any deep grudges the Li family had with anyone.

"Could it be them?!" Suddenly, Li Cheng's face changed, and he said to Huang Xiaolong, "Xiaolong, do you remember the day of my father's eightieth birthday!" As he spoke, Li Cheng's face turned sad and angry.

Eightieth birthday? Huang Xiaolong recalled the events of the day of Elder Li Mu's eightieth birthday, when those two mysterious people with venomous snake martial souls appeared.

At that time, they even brought the body of Li Lu's older brother, Li Feng, as a birthday gift.

Huang Xiaolong turned to the Tenth Rank guard, Wang Ning, and asked, "Where is the Blue Eagle Gang's headquarters?" To find out if it was those two people with venomous snake martial souls, they needed to ask the Blue Eagle Gang leader, Jiang Wei.

The Huang family and the Li family were old friends. Since this matter had happened, Huang Xiaolong couldn't just stand by.

"Reporting to Young Master, the Blue Eagle Gang's headquarters is in the southern part of the city, not far from here," Wang Ning quickly replied.

"Xiaolong, I'll go with you!" Li Cheng stood up, saying that for over a year, they had been investigating the whereabouts of the murderer. Every time he thought of his son Li Feng's tragic death, his face turned sad and angry.

Seeing Li Cheng's sad and angry face, Huang Xiaolong nodded and then turned to Fei Hou, Wang Ning, and the others, "Take him with us. We're going to the Blue Eagle Gang's headquarters now." He pointed to the middle-aged leader of the Blue Eagle Gang lying on the ground.

"Yes, Young Master!" Wang Ning and the others respectfully replied.

Thus, Huang Xiaolong, Li Cheng, and the others left the Li family's small shop and headed towards the Blue Eagle Gang's headquarters.
