The expression on Teng Qingshan's face changed as he said with slight anger, "Chang Ye, don't say such beautiful words, but you want to slip away secretly. You can't leave unless you've settled the matter today!"

Du Qi was extremely unhappy as he heard these words. He snorted in anger and calmly asked, "May I know what matter you wish to resolve with the Sect Leader?"

Hearing this, Teng Qingshan couldn't help but be surprised. He said indifferently, "Actually, it's not a big deal. We just need to discuss who should be the one talking here."

Du Qi replied, "This is where the Du Clan is located, so I don't have other people to come here to speak to. I can invite you to join them, Sect Master!"

His expression changed again towards Qingshan as he said sullenly, "Who are you, to dare to breathe so harshly in front of me? Furthermore, the Du Residence has already lived and died, and those with virtue and ability can make their own decisions! "

Du Qi suddenly said hatefully, "Speak well to the Sect Leader! "Brat Du Qi, you should be considered the new owner of the Du Residence. Please clear the way to the sect master and see if the prestige of the Du Residence still exists."

The reason why the Du Family's fame was so great and respected was not because of martial arts, but because of their literary talent, and also because of the Du Family's many generations of virtue and love from the martial arts world. Although Du Qi won the title of Xiangyang Scholar at the age of ten, it was only considered flowery fighting skills and was simply not worthy of respect, because no one knew that Du Qi's martial arts were passed down in their own families.

When Yao Fugui heard this, he was astonished and hurriedly said, "Little Qi, let Sect Master Chang handle this matter."

Chang Xiaowu also tried to stop him, "Young Master Du..."

Du Qi used a hand gesture to stop Chang Xiaowu from speaking as he said to Yao Fugui and Chang Xiaoliu, "Please be at ease, Uncle. I know what I'm doing."

Although Teng Qingshan was secretly surprised by Du Qi's words, he still scoffed without a care, "You should go play on the side. Besides, punching and kicking is not an issue for adults, and if you accidentally hurt that tender skin of yours, how do you expect me to treat everyone in the neighborhood?"

He then lightly said to Qingshan: "Sect Leader, if you really can put me down, the bodies of the one hundred and sixteen Du Clan members will suffer as you wish, and no one will dare to come and fight with you for the treasures left behind by the Du Clan. If the Sect Master is unable to do as you wish, please leave quickly. We still have matters to attend to, do you want to come alone or do you want to join the 'Scorching Sun Gang'?"

Then he shouted to the people around him, "Everyone here, please bear witness for me, Du Qi, and the Sect Leader!"

Du Qi's words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake. It immediately stirred up monstrous waves, which instantly spread layer after layer. No one thought that not only did Du Qi dare to challenge Teng Qingshan, he even didn't put the entire 'Scorching Sun Gang' in his eyes. For a moment, some were secretly worried, some were surprised, some were secretly happy, and some were gloating. It was precisely because of Du Qi's words that some of the people who were plotting against him had no choice but to take a wait-and-see attitude. There were even some who weren't strong enough to give up on those perverted thoughts. Just as everyone was discussing and feeling emotional, they suddenly heard someone say leisurely: "Good, you are ambitious! My permit is willing to be a witness for Master Du. If someone disobeys what Young Master Du said just now, that person will be opposing my permit. "

Everyone followed the voice and looked over. They saw a man in his fifties, with a clean face and a solemn expression. He was wearing a blue brocade suit. As he spoke, he was unhurriedly leading the crowd over.

Those with experience in the martial arts world would know that the permit was the famous' Thunderbolt Divine Judgement 'in the martial arts world. They would always speak impartially and speak highly of it. They would be praised for being virtuous and respected, and if there were any disputes, they would definitely ask him to decide it. Seeing him arrive, those with ill intentions didn't dare to act rashly. Everyone around him, whether they were familiar with him or not, all rushed to greet him. The people in front of him all consciously made way for him, allowing him to walk unhindered near Du Qi and Teng Qingshan's group.

As he responded to the crowd, he proceeded forward as if he was walking in an uninhabited area. Finally, he stopped outside of Du Qi and Qing Shan, and looked around with a burning gaze. Seeing that no one had any objections, he turned to look at Du Qi, his eyes filled with praise.

Although Du Qi did not know who he was, he could tell that he was not an ordinary person. However, seeing him speaking up for him, he couldn't help but exclaim happily, "This old uncle's words are true, Du Qi will thank you first!"

The permit said: "I am only here as an intermediate witness. Young Master Du, you don't have to thank me."

Seeing the arrival of the permit, Teng Qingshan couldn't help but be surprised. Seeing how confident Du Qi was, he couldn't help but recall the legend of the Du Family's martial arts that could be considered the champion of the martial arts world, and only at this moment did he realize the seriousness of the matter, knowing that he might have made an unforgivable mistake and wanted to retreat. However, after hearing the permit, he couldn't help but think that Du Qi was only a child after all.

Just as he was about to attack Teng Qingshan, he suddenly heard a person shout, "Who dares to cause trouble here in public? Hurry up and disperse! "

As he shouted, a group of people rushed over. Most of them recognized this group of people; they were the police officers of the city. The one who had spoken was a short and fat man who was about forty years old. Right now, he was leading the thirteen constables and arrogantly leading the crowd away. Standing opposite of Du Qi, Yao Fugui, Chang Xiaowu, he arrogantly asked, "What's going on? Hurry up and report this to me!"

Normally, these gangsters would more or less do or do something shady in public or in secret. The thing they were most afraid of was that these gangsters would come looking for them and even if they saw them on the street, they would circle around them to avoid making them feel awkward, not to mention that Huang Da's martial arts was strong and that they couldn't afford to offend him just by relying on his own abilities. Now, they were coldly looking at each other, and as if they were afraid that Huang Da had caught them, some of them would slip away and leave while others were busy hiding.

Huang Da seemed to be very satisfied with this effect. He arrogantly lifted his chubby face and looked around. In the end, he turned his head to look at Qingshan, indicating that he wanted him to answer his question.

When Teng Qingshan saw Huang Da looking at him fixedly, he knew he couldn't refuse. He could only step forward and cautiously say, "Qingshan didn't know that Sir Huang had come personally, so he didn't welcome you. It's really a sin!"

Huang Da coldly waved his hand and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty. You haven't replied to me yet, do you think that I have come at the wrong time?"

He spoke to Qingshan in a flattering manner, "Sir Huang has come at the perfect time. For some reason, the Du Residence vanished in the same night. I've already sent someone to inform the officials. We're all here to see if there's anything we can help with." Then he pointed to Du Qi and said, "This young master who claims to be the survivor of the Du Residence, he should know the details."

Huang Da saw that Du Qi's lips were bright red, his nose was wide open, and his skin was white and shiny. His appearance was very pleasing to the eye, and in addition to the faint grief he revealed, it caused people to feel even more pity for him. How can I help you? "

Du Qi said, "Last night, a fire broke out in my house, and none of my 116 family members were spared. Please uphold justice for me, and chase away the idle people, and help me take care of my affairs with Sect Master Chang."

Huang Da straightforwardly said, "Good, everything will be as Young Noble says."

Du Qi said gratefully, "Du Qi thanks Lord Huang for his help!"

Huang Da hastened to say: "It is my duty to do business for this person, not to mention working for the Du Residence. We will definitely do our best and won't dare to take responsibility for our actions." He then ordered his men to increase their vigilance, disperse the bystanders and prepare to clean up the scene of the disaster.

Just when everyone was feeling dissatisfied with Teng Qingshan, they suddenly heard someone say coldly, "Constable Huang, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to deal with this matter like this!"

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw two people slowly walking over. The one who spoke was a man in his forties who wore a scholarly mask and wore a white robe with three morning glory embroidered on his chest with golden threads. His figure was well-proportioned and his appearance was quite upright. His surname was Luo Changhe, and he was also known as the "Iron Stick". There were not many people in the Xiangyang Manor who did not fear him, and he was a powerful character who feared people and worried ghosts. The other was a muscular man in his forties who was dressed in a flying fish outfit. Yao Fugui also recognized this person as Guo Qinggong, he was a small flag that stayed at the Xiang Yang Mansion's Embroidered Uniform Guard, he had always been arrogant and rampant, always sticking close to Luo Changhe whenever he had nothing to do, never leaving him, always advancing or retreating together. Now that the two of them had joined forces to call out like this, everyone knew that nothing good would happen.

Hearing Luo Changhe's words, Huang Da asked in confusion, "What's wrong with it?"

Luo Changhe said slowly and gloomily, "My Lord Constable Huang, why don't you use your brain to think about it? The entire 116th Du Residence was burned to death, why is this kid able to escape death?" Is there anything we don't know about it? "

Everyone felt that Luo Changhe's words made sense, and even Yao Fugui's curiosity was piqued by his words. Huang Da could not help but say with a pale face, "Please advise!"

Luo Changhe said lightly, "This matter is not as simple as it seems. It is clearly a scam. How can you dare to clean up this murder scene before you know the whole story?"

When the crowd heard Luo Changhe's words, they all knew that he had not come here for no reason. Instead, he had come for some reason. However, what exactly did he want to do? Huang Da seemed to realize this, but he could not ignore Luo Changhe's words. He could only feign ignorance as he asked, "Why is there a trap?"

Luo Changhe said sinisterly, "You still don't understand such a simple matter?"

Huang Da added: "Please forgive me for my ignorance, don't you understand?"

Luo Changhe still shamelessly asked, "What can I possibly mean? "I'm just reminding Constable Huang that if Constable Huang insists on acting on his own, won't he be helping the culprit destroy the evidence?"

However, Luo Changhe did not have the authority to deal with Du Qi, and could only use his fake hands. Huang Da was naturally unwilling to let Luo Changhe use his own hands, so he tried to force Luo Changhe into a corner, "Cleaning up the scene is also a way to find evidence. If there is one, then why do you keep stopping me?"

Luo Changhe glared at Huang Da, but continued to point at Du Qi and slowly said, "How could this commoner dare to stop Lord Huang from handling the case? "However, if Lord Huang immediately invites this kid back to the yamen, he might be able to find out some secret information and find out the whole story. At that time, the person who will be doing meritorious service will be you, Constable Huang."

At this point, everyone knew that Luo Changhe was here for Du Qi. Although there were many people who felt indignant, no one dared to stand out and defend Du Qi, especially the gang members who feared Luo Changhe over Huang Da. They couldn't avoid him in time, so how could they stand up to him? Although Chang Xiaowu wanted to stand up for Du Qi, he did not care about the lives of the hundreds of gang members. Yao Fugui was not afraid of anything, but he could not find any words to say.

Huang Da originally did not want to make things difficult for Du Qi, and assumed that Luo Changhe would not dare to speak out against Du Qi, so he spoke in such a manner. Although Huang Da was an imperial court official, and Luo Changhe was just a commoner, he did not dare to openly go against Luo Changhe's orders. All because of Luo Changhe's ability, in truth, he was not someone a small government constable like him could contend with, if he acted according to Luo Changhe's words, he would feel that the consequences would be even worse than if he did not act according to Luo Changhe's words.

Seeing that Huang Da did not do as he said, Luo Changhe suddenly said in a low voice, "Huang Dajun, have you obtained any benefits from this brat? Do you want to do that kind of thing in front of everyone's eyes?"

Huang Da was a very quick-witted person, but in front of Luo Changhe, he did not show any signs of concern, and now that he heard Luo Changhe's words, he did not know what to do.
