All Heavens: Starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 45 Overthrowing the Money Gang Branch

[Daily Intelligence: The Dingzhou branch of the Money Gang has officially been established, with "Flying Spear" Yan Shuangfei as the leader and Shen Yuanwai (Shen Laosan) as the deputy leader.]

"Swallows flying in pairs?"

Gu Yu's expression shifted.

This man was originally a bandit leader in Guanzhong, and his weapon was a throwing spear.

He ranked forty-sixth on the weapons list, but he was arrogant and conceited, always wanting to compete with Li Xunhuan to see whether his flying spear or Li Xunhuan's flying knife was more powerful.

If we could take down a branch of the Money Gang, we'd probably get a lot of Fate Points, right?

More than ten miles away from Dingzhou City, there was a tea stall by the roadside. Because it was located by the official road, there were many people coming and going, so the business was naturally very good.

When traveling the world, tea stalls, taverns, and inns are always good places to gather information.

Gu Yu and A Fei sat in the corner, unrecognized by anyone.

Because the two used the disguise method recorded in the "Precious Mirror of Pitying Flowers" to slightly change their appearance, they were unrecognizable to anyone who wasn't particularly familiar with them.

After drinking tea for a while, Gu Yu heard a familiar name—Lin Xian'er!

A short, thin man, looking rather mysterious, whispered, "Do you know who I saw the other day?"

"I saw your grandpa!"

"Stop fooling around! Let me tell you, I saw Lin Xian'er, the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world."

"Really?"

"I've seen her once before, I'm absolutely certain. That day I saw Lin Xian'er get into a carriage with a man in front of Shen's Pawnshop."

Everyone was incredibly envious.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Who is that man?"

"At first I didn't know either, but after secretly inquiring, I found out that the person was actually Chief Shangguan..."

Gu Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Shangguan Jin Hong actually went to the Dingzhou branch in person, which means this branch is quite important.

We absolutely have to pick one!

Rather than being secretly plotted against by Lin Xian'er and the Money Gang, it's better to take the initiative and disrupt their rhythm.

Dingzhou City.

As night fell, a three-story building in the north of the city was brightly lit, with guests coming and going, creating a lively atmosphere.

This building is the largest brothel in the city—Xiangxiang Pavilion.

A year ago, the owner who founded Xiangxiang Pavilion died mysteriously. After that, it was taken over by Shen Laosan and became one of the properties under Shen's name.

However, now all of Shen Laosan's businesses bear the logo of the Money Gang.

Shen Laosan was in a bad mood tonight.

Extremely bad!

He deeply regretted collaborating with Shangguan Jin Hong.

In the past, the Shen brothers were very successful in Dingzhou City. Although he was not as powerful as he is now, he was not short of money.

Later, he was blinded by greed and agreed to cooperate with Shangguan Jin Hong, thus embarking on a path of no return.

He was murdered one by one by his dozen or so cousins, which made him the sole leader of the Shen family.

Shen Laosan thought that since he had made such great contributions and even the Shen family's business had become a branch of the Money Gang, he should be allowed to take charge of the branch, right?

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Jin Hong sent Yan Shuangfei to be the leader, while he was only the deputy.

Moreover, Yan Shuangfei was arrogant and domineering, which almost rendered Shen Laosan, the deputy leader, a mere figurehead.

But what's the use of regretting it now?

What strength does he have to fight against Shangguan Jin Hong?

"Third Master, let's drink!"

"Third Master, let me give you a back massage..."

Two delicate women flanked her, serving her with utmost care.

"Oh no, oh no..."

Suddenly, a waiter stumbled into the room.

Shen Laosan was already in a bad mood, and in a fit of anger, he grabbed the wine jug and smashed it, instantly causing the waiter to bleed from the head.

But the waiter dared not wipe it, enduring the pain, and said tremblingly, "Third...Third Master, there's a fire downstairs..."

Just then, a plume of smoke slowly drifted into the room.

A cacophony of screams, running sounds, and cries erupted from downstairs...

Old Shen was taken aback, jumped up abruptly, and ran out the door in a flash.

The fire was growing bigger and bigger, and had already reached the roof of the third floor, making Shen Laosan jump up and down in a panic.

What's the use of being in a hurry?

People don't even dare to get close, so how can this fire be put out?

Suddenly, Shen Laosan felt a chill on his neck, as if something had scratched him.

He instinctively raised his hand to touch it, only to find his hand covered in blood.

He tried to scream in terror, but only a whirring sound escaped his throat before everything went black and he collapsed into a pool of blood.

"Third Master!"

"Something terrible has happened! Third Master is in trouble!"

With a terrified scream, the already chaotic scene became even more chaotic.

At first, everyone thought the fire was an accident, perhaps one of the guests got carried away and accidentally knocked over the candle.

But Shen Laosan's death makes one suspect that the fire was deliberately caused.

Who on earth is so bold as to oppose the Money Gang?

Soon after, Yan Shuangfei rushed over.

The towering flames also reflected red in his eyes.

After all, he had just taken office as the leader of the Dingzhou branch and had not yet had time to make great strides when someone gave him a warning.

If Shen Laosan hadn't already died, he would definitely have suspected that Shen Laosan harbored resentment and was secretly sabotaging him.

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! Find the arsonist, and I will tear this thief to pieces!"

Yan Shuangfei's angry roar echoed in the air.

The fire at Xiangxiang Pavilion burned for a day and a night before it slowly subsided. The once bustling den of extravagance had been reduced to ashes.

The fire not only caused the Money Gang to lose a building, but also affected its reputation.

The Beggars' Sect was the happiest of all by this.

As the saying goes, "two tigers cannot share one mountain." The Beggars' Clan has always considered itself the "number one clan in the world," but the rise of the Money Clan has subtly overshadowed the Beggars' Clan.

into the night.

The Shen family compound was still brightly lit.

There were more than a dozen people standing in the courtyard, both men and women, each with a deathly pale face and a copper coin on their head.

Yan Shuangfei's face was ashen. He paced back and forth for a moment, finally standing in front of a man and coldly asking, "Speak, who set the fire?"

"I...I really don't know..."

As soon as Yan Shuangfei raised her hand, the man immediately clutched his neck, his face filled with terror, blood seeping continuously from between his fingers, and a series of indistinct sounds escaping his throat.

In Yan Shuangfei's hand was a small gun, its tip still dripping blood; it was the throwing gun that made him famous.

"Hmph, I know you're always well-informed. If you don't reveal who the arsonist is, I'll kill one of you every hour. Let's see how long you can hold out!"

"hehe……"

Just then, a mocking laugh rang out.

Yan Shuangfei's expression changed, and without even turning around, he threw two flying spears.

"With this level of skill, you think you can compete with Li Xunhuan's Flying Dagger? I suggest you just buy a block of tofu and smash your head against it."

That mocking voice rang out again, but this time from a different direction.

"court death!"

Enraged, Yan Shuangfei leaped into the air, and with a series of "whoosh" sounds, three flying spears flew out one after another like meteors.

"Hmm~"

The opponent seemed to have been hit, letting out a muffled groan before leaping away.

"Trying to escape?"

Swallows leaped onto the roof and chased after it relentlessly.

He was convinced that the other party was the one who burned down Xiangxiang Pavilion, and he was determined to catch them no matter what...
