Chapter 786 419: The Heroine Emerges from the Coffin, the Young Hero Brings Misfortune, Eliminating All Irrationality!
The summer in Yu State feels like a furnace, humid and stifling, only among the Qingshan can one find some coolness.
This particular mountain villa is called "Qingyin," hidden in the Qingshan, it's a perfect summer retreat.
It's said that in summer, not only does the villa enjoy the mountain coolness, but many women practicing the Ice Frost Technique lie naked, channeling their power, allowing the Manor Master's guests to sit holding them for coolness.
Now, even as winter approaches, this summer retreat remains occupied.
The Fierce Crane Gang's Gang Leader, Ai Dalei, was sitting on a soft couch holding a very large-chested woman, alongside County Magistrate Zhang Bohu, who held a similarly large-chested woman.
At this moment, Ai Dalei couldn't help but sigh, "See, Lord County Magistrate, I told you not to meddle in the Gu Family affair, Old Demon Duan is indeed no ordinary man."
"Before the victory is decided, whether to accept less gold and silver from the Gu Family to lessen our involvement in their alliances, especially the absolute ones."
The County Magistrate of Yishui City, Zhang Bohu, having just received news, wiped his sweat and said, "Brother Ai's wisdom saved me, I almost sided wrongly."
When Gu Family's Young Master, Gu Dile, arrived, Yishui City naturally opened its gates, extending the utmost hospitality. The County Magistrate, greedy for profit, once considered cozying up to the Gu Family, who owned Gold Mountain and Silver Mountain.
Previously, he envied his colleague in Wangchun City, also a County Magistrate, who earned a fortune there.
Now Wangchun City has become an unprofitable Demon Cave, yet the other person's way of making a fortune left a deep impression, leaving the County Magistrate wanting to align with the Gu Family, turning here into another Wangchun City, or an even greater one, to rake in gold.
However, at this time, Ai Dalei, the Fierce Crane Gang's Gang Leader, was always his good brother and advised him not to forcibly forge connections and ran outside the city upon hearing news of Old Demon Duan's arrival.
While the Immortals fight, they chose to hide first, not siding with the Gu Family.
It must be said, this brother's insight is indeed uncommon, his much-anticipated Gu Family Young Master was killed in Yishui City.
The Gu Family's supporters, too, were tortured by Old Demon Duan, unable to die even as they begged for it, mouths crooked.
Luckily, they hadn't sided, which meant they hadn't offended Old Demon Duan.
The whole Martial World knows, Old Demon Duan's mind is the smallest, smaller than a needle's eye.
At this moment, the County Magistrate couldn't help but ask his subordinate, "Has Mr. Duan, Young Hero Duan left yet?"
The subordinate shook his head, saying, "No."
"No?"
"He's having hot pot in the city with a woman who looks like a Heavenly Immortal," the subordinate replied.
"Right, one must eat. After eating, he should leave. No, full and warm thoughts turn to desires, after eating one would want to play, once he's tired of playing he should leave," County Magistrate Zhang Bohu pondered.
Then, he ordered, "Keep a close eye on Young Hero Duan, don't offend him, report immediately if there's anything."
"Yes."
The subordinate left, and the County Magistrate inside the villa breathed a sigh of relief, starting to seek pleasure.
How lucky not to have sided wrongly!
Otherwise, where would he still have the chance to enjoy inside this villa.
For a moment, Qingyin Manor filled with a joyful atmosphere.
The result was that the joyful atmosphere did not last long, the subordinate reported again.
"What's going on?"
"After eating hot pot, Young Hero Duan did not go play nor leave."
"He went to the accounts room."
"Which accounts room?"
"The one where you and Gang Leader Ali Dalei collect silver."
This statement made Gang Leader Ai Dalei and County Magistrate Zhang Bohu suddenly sober up, cold to the bone.
"Why is he going to the accounts room?"
"I don't know, could he be checking the accounts?"
"Checking accounts? Why would he check accounts? What's our accounts got to do with him?" The County Magistrate was puzzled.
At this time, Ai Dalei was sweating, saying, "Young Hero Duan, when he started out, killed a County Magistrate in his hometown."
County Magistrate Zhang Bohu couldn't help but exclaimed, "Kill a County Magistrate? How dare he..."
He unconsciously stopped short of his reprimanding words, instead broke out in goosebumps, asking, "Why did he kill a County Magistrate?"
"It's said he claimed that County Magistrate's protection fees were unreasonable," Ai Dalei nervously stated.
"What's unreasonable about that? It's justified!"
The County Magistrate looked righteous, but his voice was getting softer.
The reason Old Demon Duan is called a Demon is that he often does things that defy the natural order.
This justified action could be a crime in Old Demon Duan's eyes.
Thus he got a bit panicked, saying, "Brother Ai, is there going to be trouble?"
Ai Dalei calmly replied, "Relax! Nothing's going to happen! My accountant is professional, capable of taking the heat when needed!"
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Zhang Bohu relaxed slightly.
After such a scare, regardless of the beauties with scant clothing or that aged wine, for a moment they lost their appeal.
After a period, new news arrived — "Sir, Young Hero Duan has left with the Fairy, they've left the city!"
Upon hearing this, Ai Dalei and Zhang Bohu couldn't help but laugh heartily.
False alarm!
False alarm!
The accountant is really reliable!
The two couldn't help but start drinking again, marveling at how well they had trained the accountant.
After a few cups of wine, new news came.
"Sir, after leaving the city, Young Hero Duan seems to be heading toward the mountain."
At this, Zhang Bohu and Ai Dalei were flabbergasted.
They exchanged glances and made no hesitation to flee.
At that moment, Ai Dalei exclaimed, "Send all the beauties in the villa over, entertain Young Hero Duan well. Must entertain him well."
His Qingyin Manor's Ice Woman is famous for their ice and fire qualities.
If they could stall Old Demon Duan for twenty breaths, that would be sufficient for their escape.
"Let's go, come with me."
Ai Dalei never expected to use the secret passage of his villa.
How is Old Demon Duan so sinister!
He swears he absolutely didn't offend him, not a hair's worth!
After exiting the house and walking towards the secret passage, halfway they encountered a pair of males and females.
The man handsome beyond compare, the woman pristine as snow, they looked perfect together.
This must be Old Demon Duan and the woman like a Fairy from his subordinate's description!
Old Demon Duan is so ruthless, even Star Fury can be so purely beautiful.
Though this is not the crux.
The key point is how Old Demon Duan got here so quickly!
The villa's twelve Ice Women, excluding traveling time, even ten breaths each shouldn't be this fast!
At this time, Fierce Crane Gang Leader Ai Dalei showed a stiff smile, saying, "Young Hero Duan arrives here, it's my inability to welcome from afar, please forgive me."
Duan Yun waved his hand, with a friendly demeanor, saying, "How is this a crime, am I that petty-minded?"
Ai Dalei couldn't help but laugh heartily, "The world knows Young Hero Duan is broad-minded like the sea, how could he be petty-minded."
County Magistrate Zhang Bohu joined in the laughter.
Except he wasn't truly laughing, the laughter was just his shield.
Laughing along, they stopped laughing.
Because Duan Yun wasn't laughing.
If the Young Hero isn't laughing but they are, could it cause trouble?
At this time, Duan Yun spoke again, "However, there are indeed some crimes you need to address."
County Magistrate Zhang Bohu couldn't hold himself back, asking, "What crime?"
"Your entry fees are unreasonable."
With this sentence, the two felt as if the sky was falling.
Then Duan Yun said, "The unreasonable can be understood, after all, there are many unreasonable things in this world, I kept thinking, if you could have used any of the illicitly collected silver, even a tenth, later I thought forget a tenth, if there's a hundred tael silver used for the people, I could even reluctantly say you used at least a bit for the people."
"Unfortunately, none, not even one tael silver."
As soon as the words fell, Duan Yun and Shen Ying struck simultaneously.
Shen Ying's fingertips tugged on silk, instantly brought over the two who wanted to escape, simultaneously, Duan Yun's knife emitted two red lines.
Thus, sounds of cries and howls like ghosts and wolves arose.
The two major figures in the city, who thought they escaped the city's full suffering, now had their mouths crooked too.
Pain, so much pain!
"Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm!"
"Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm!"
As they suffered long enough and their howls were too unpleasant, Duan Yun and Shen Ying each delivered a head-exploding punch, then a decapitating cut, executing the end of unreasonable fees.
After finishing this deed, the Young Hero and Lady Warrior both felt refreshed, thus returned home as a married couple leaving two bodies behind that charged unreasonable fees.
