Sann City, a small city in the south.
There is also a Tiger Saber Gang here.
This Tiger Saber Gang has nothing to do with the one in Xing City that was destroyed by Li Fei.
It just happens to have the sa na.
The Tiger Saber Gang in Sann City is not as prestigious as the one in Xing City; its leader, Zhang Qihu, does not have the cultivation of the Tao Foundation Stage, nor has he managed to connect with the Chief of the local Zhi Ge Court.
But crows are black everywhere.
The vile deeds done by the Tiger Saber Gang in Xing City, the Sann City Tiger Saber Gang has done them all too.
Today is February 8th of the first year of Yuanxing, and the biggest news in the World is that Yuhua Sect's Master Wu Hui has beco a True Monarch.
But matters of the Peak, matters of the True Monarch, Zhang Qihu does not care about.
That kind of World is far too distant from him.
Today marks the deadline for the Sann City Tiger Saber Gang to acquire all the deeds of the old residential district in South City. If they miss the deadline, the Director of the Main Engineering Departnt in the Internal Affairs Bureau will not let the Tiger Saber Gang off!
This is the World that Zhang Qihu is concerned with.
"Mr. Zhang, we share the sa surna, and a hundred years ago we were of the sa family. Just give a little face and sell this house,"
Inside a courtyard with three entrances and four buildings, Zhang Qihu said with a smile to an elderly man leaning on a cane, with white hair.
"Ptooey!"
The old man spat on the ground and said to Zhang Qihu in a stern tone, "Who is of the sa family with soone like you?"
"I've already said, I'm not selling this house!"
"All of you get out!"
The old man was exceptionally agitated, his face flushed red.
Zhang Qihu's smile slowly faded, his gaze turned cold:
"You old fool, I've given you plenty of face already. Don't drink a toast only to drink a forfeit!"
Although this leader of the Tiger Saber Gang was not a master of the Tao Foundation Stage, he was a Refining Strength Martial Master of the Innate Qi Change Middle Stage; once his imposing manner flared, ordinary people were like mice encountering a cat, utterly terrified to confront him.
However, this old man was evidently no ordinary person. He stared fearlessly at Zhang Qihu:
"Today I stand here, and I want to see what you dare to do to ?!"
The old man was nad Zhang Jun, a forr Director of the Main Engineering Departnt within Sann City's Internal Affairs Bureau, now retired.
It was precisely because of his forr official position that Zhang Qihu personally ca to negotiate with a group.
Now, in the old residential district in South City, only this diehard remained.
The deeds to all other residences had been bought by the Tiger Saber Gang.
Seeing Zhang Jun's indomitable defiance, Zhang Qihu's heart burned with a wicked fla.
He subconsciously fiddled with the jade ring on his thumb, leaned forward half a step, and whispered nacingly to Zhang Jun:
"Old man, I'll tell you the truth, you are not blocking the wealth of my Tiger Saber Gang, but the entire Main Engineering Departnt!"
"During your tenure, you offended many people. Now that you have stepped down, consider carefully if you can still afford to offend?"
Zhang Jun was one of the rare good officials who refused to collude, but he had offended many colleagues as a result.
He had no family background and rose step by step from a poor scholar to a Level 9 Subordinate Official through his own ability. Ultimately, he stopped there without assistance, failing to advance further and beco an Imperial Official.
He has been retired for many years now, and the few people he once had good relations with have also retired, so Zhang Qihu is not very concerned about him.
But Zhang Qihu didn't want to make a big fuss, forcing the upper authorities to clean up for him and affecting his own reputation, which is why he had delayed until now.
But today, Zhang Qihu didn't want to delay any longer.
"Old man, you are forcing ,"
said Zhang Qihu in a chilling tone.
He then turned and gave a look to his underlings behind him.
About a dozen mbers of the Tiger Saber Gang took out prepared iron rods and spread out in all directions, heading towards the houses around.
Zhang Jun's expression changed: "What do you want to do?"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
From inside the house ca the sounds of iron rods striking and things being smashed.
Zhang Jun's wife passed away early, his son had long gone abroad to work, leaving him alone in Sann City, so the Tiger Saber Gang had nothing to threaten him with.
Except this house.
This was the house Zhang Jun and his wife scraped money together to buy, where they had spent the most beautiful twenty-five years of their life together, filled with his most precious mories.
So Zhang Jun was unwilling to sell this house no matter what.
But now, the Tiger Saber Gang was going to destroy it directly!
"Stop it!!"
Zhang Jun roared in anger, stepping forward, trying to grab Zhang Qihu, but Zhang Qihu easily dodged, causing Zhang Jun to fall to the ground.
"Stop it! Is there no law in your eyes?!"
Zhang Jun lay on the ground, demanding loudly.
Zhang Qihu looked down at this forr Level 9 Subordinate Official, feeling a strange pleasure in his heart.
He spread his hands, smiling:
"Our Tiger Saber Gang always follows the law. How much is this house of yours worth? If it's damaged, I'll pay you back equal to its worth. My brothers can just spend a few days inside [jail]."
"You... cough, cough, cough!"
Zhang Jun coughed violently in anger, utterly helpless.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm giving you one last chance."
Zhang Qihu squatted down, "As long as you agree to sell this house, I will still offer you the price we agreed on earlier. Otherwise, I assure you everything in this house will be destroyed today!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of smashing echoed continuously from all around.
Zhang Jun looked painfully at the items his wife had personally arranged being destroyed one by one.
He struggled to stand up, his eyes bloodshot:
"Then I'll say it one last ti, even if you smash this entire house, I won't sell it!"
"..."
Zhang Qihu took a deep breath, his eyes revealing a murderous intent: "Old man, do you really want to force to take everything to the extre?!"
