I Persuade People With Reason

Winged Neko: This is the final chapter for the day~

A group of children happily took the candy and couldn’t wait to throw it into their mouth.

Then, there is a new round of thunderous crying.

Facts have proved that Yuan Buwei’s sweets are never easy to take, let alone eat.

Fang Yunxiao, who knew nothing about this, looked at the noisy scene in front of him, and the strange gaze that was originally aimed at Yuan Buwei immediately shifted to these little devils.

It seems that it’s not that this master is too childish to bully children, but that these children are too difficult to coax.

Thinking like this, his gaze gradually turned even stranger.

Fang Yunxiao felt that everything he experienced tonight was extremely wonderful.

First, he tried his best to sneak into theChigang gang to save his brother. Unexpectedly, all the previous preparations were not put to use because he bumped into a great expert first. He was about his age, but his martial arts were extremely high. Not only did he easily rescue his two little brothers, but also a group of extremely difficult little ones.

“Wah”

The sweet smell of death wrapped around the tip of their tongues, and a group of ignorant children were crying up a storm.

Suffering internal pain Yuan Buwei stood among a group of crying children, bemoaning his empty pockets. The young man was slender, his handsome face was bloodless, and when his eyelashes were drooping, he looked so devastated, as if he had lost all hope in life.

Seeing that the great expert stood dejectedly in place just because he could not coax the children well, being so “disheartened” Fang Yunxiao couldn’t help but feel more fond of him, and became less vigilant. When he looked at these unruly children who failed to appreciate the other party’s good intentions, he lost his patience.

He raised his hand and gave a shake to the little rascals standing beside him: “Okay, stop howling. This hero is our saviour. Is this how you treat your saviour?”

Fang Yunxiao didn’t casually shake some random kids, the kids he picked were ones he got along with on weekdays. They used to hang around with him on days when they couldn’t eat, so they were already somewhat familiar with each other.

So he was not polite: “You haven’t thanked the hero yet.”

Although Fang Yunxiao is usually unreliable, in fact, he has some elder brother authority in the minds of these children. At this time, they saw him look down with a serious look. The children who were almost sent to the afterlife by Yuan Buwei’s candy couldn’t help puffing up their faces, but they still bowed their heads obediently, and thanked Yuan Buwei seriously.

Firstly thanking him for saving their life, then apologising.

One after another, under the serious education of Fang Yunxiao, they remembered Yuan Buwei’s previous threats. Soon the children knew the current situation and stopped clamouring. They also bowed their heads to Yuan Buwei, speaking with grievances in their voices.

However, Yuan Buwei felt that he was the most aggrieved person.

His eyes flicked across the faces of the little radish heads, shook his head and sighed, and a shallow smile appeared in his eyes: “It doesn’t matter. Although my younger brother made these sweets for me personally and I can’t bear to eat them normally, as long as there is none wasted.”

At the end, his tone was slightly melancholy.

Fang Yunxiao immediately looked at them with condemning eyes.

A group of children even forgot to cry. Their aggrieved tears choked back, staring blankly at Yuan Buwei with a melancholy expression, as if he was the one who had suffered a great loss.

Obviously, it is this big bad guy who frightened them with ghosts and deceived them into eating such terrible candy. Why are they blamed in return?

Are they really the one in the wrong?

Although the children’s small heads are full of question marks, these children are not bad in nature. Since understanding the truth they can not help but reflect on what they have done. The more they think about it, the more they feel that they were wrong.

They were scared by the people of the Chiyang gang before, so they refused to leave. But after such a long time, no one came. They had already started believing Fang Yunxiao’s words. At present, the big brother who was about the same age as Fang Yunxiao in front of them was the saviour who helped everyone get out of trouble.

The children blushed with shame.

They mustered the courage to look up at Yuan Buwei, but they saw that the young man’s face was not as lost as it was just now. With an evil smile on his lips and a glint in his eyes, he looked like a child who had successfully played a prank. Feeling quite happy and proud.

Seeing so many eyes looking at him, the radian of Yuan Buwei’s lips became more obvious.

But the smile on his lips can’t be seen from the angle of Fang Yunxiao, who was still fighting for justice because Yuan Buwei’s “good intentions were let down by the bear children”.

Bear children: …

Is the world of adults so sinister?

They looked at Yuan Buwei with sad eyes.

It is reasonable to say that they were saved from the vicious Chiyang gang, and they should be grateful to this lifesaver.

If someone else comes, with a little more means, a group of children can be fooled immediately and they may even be willing to die for him in the future.

Bestow kindness and righteousness. Isn’t this how many sects, families, and even gangs cultivate disciples from an early age? Such disciples are also the most loyal.

However, Yuan Buwei’s operation has successfully left the shadow of insidious adults in the hearts of all the children. This made their opinion of the saviour very complicated. Some were grateful, some were depressed, and some wanted to jump up and feed him candy.

Yuan Buwei didn’t feel ashamed to bully children at all. Seeing that they were all in a daze he laughed even more happily, and the depression of massive loss just now disappeared by a lot.

Fang Yunxiao didn’t notice the dark surging undercurrents. Seeing that the children no longer resisted, he hurriedly rallied the crowd: “It’s almost dawn, let’s leave as soon as possible.”

At this time, the sky has indeed turned pale, and it is the moment closest to dawn.

After dawn, there will be many people milling about and if they notice the current spectacle of the Chiyang gang, it will be difficult for them to escape.

Without further delay, everyone went out through the back door and went straight to the nearby hidden alleyway.

Both Fang Yunxiao and these children are people who have been wandering around the streets of AnYang city for a long time. They are familiar with the streets and alleys here. In less than a quarter of an hour, they quickly left the location of the Chiyang gang and into another alley.

At this time, the sky is already slightly bright.

Along the way, Fang Yunxiao intentionally avoided the crowd, and there were few people strolling on the street at this time, so everyone travelled smoothly without being seen by a single person.

Fang Yunxiao was very familiar with these children and sent them back to their homes. He also told them: “When you go back, don’t mention who saved you, even what they look like. Just say that you heard the door lock was broken and ran out.”

Hearing this, Yuan Buwei glanced at him in surprise.

Unexpectedly, the protagonist in the original plot was so meticulous, probably because he was worried about follow up trouble. Now that he thinks about it, Fang Yunxiao never asked his name from beginning to the end, this may also be part of his considerations.

However, it can only be said that he is too immature and his thoughts were too simple. It’s no wonder that in the original plot, he went to rescue people alone, but almost died there himself.

Not to mention whether these children can keep their promises, even if they really keep their promises, children at such a young age are like blank paper in front of other people. It is not difficult for those who are determined to get information.

However, Yuan Buwei did not have a reason to correct him.

If he really wanted to handle a matter meticulously without leaving any loopholes, he had thousands of ways to do it. He didn’t do it now, simply because he didn’t want to.

When the group of children were sent away, Yuan Buwei was about to leave, but was stopped by Fang Yunxiao: “Wait a minute”

“Great hero, cough, it’s not good to call you great hero all the time.”

“My surname is Chi. Don’t call me hero.” To be honest, when Fang Yunxiao always called him that, Yuan Buwei felt weird too.

Fang Yunxiao changed his name quickly and said with a smile, “What a good surname! Such a special surname matches a special character like Chi gongzi.”

Yuan Buwei looked at him curiously, with such flattery he wondered what the protagonist wanted to do.

However, Fang Yunxiao continued to ask, “I have not repaid Chi gongzi’s great kindness yet. If we say goodbye today, if I want to repay this kindness in the future, where should I go?”

He looked at Yuan Buwei expectantly, but inside he thought: this is a rare master. When he knows his location he will go to show courtesy every day, maybe this great master will be in a good mood and pass on some teachings.

Yuan Buwei was extremely sensitive to other people’s emotions, guessed something from his expectant gaze, and didn’t expose it. Simply uttered a sentence: “Tenth alley coffin snack shop.”

Coffin snack shop.

Fang Yunxiao was stunned and suspected that he had heard wrong.

He knows all these words individually, but he doesn’t understand them when put together. Buwei’s toes, his figure immediately flew up and disappeared before him in a blink of an eye.

Half an hour later, it was completely bright.

The quiet streets gradually became more and more busy, and the whole AnYang City changed from quiet to noisy. The brothels, restaurants, casinos and wine shops in Anqing square’s night bustle were coming to an end, and a couple of guests who were reluctant to leave walked out.

Passing by the residence where the Chiyang gang is located, a strong smell of blood came out. Someone curiously glanced in through the concealed door, and immediately let out a terrified scream.

More people were attracted and seeing the tragic situation in the courtyard, they were all pale and panicked. Someone who was timid directly softened and sat down on the ground immediately.

But others had no leisure to laugh at him.

The AnYang magistrate, which did not have a strong sense of presence, quickly sent people to enter the courtyard to check. A whole gang was killed silently, even if it was only a small gang, it was still terrifying. The other forces in the city were also unable to sit still and sent people to check.

“Seventy-one people in the front yard and twenty-three people in the back yard, together with the leader of the Chiyany gang and the leaders of the high and low, make ninety-four people. None of them survived. All of them were fatally stabbed.”

After exploring the whole house inside and out, they came to the conclusion: “with the efficiency of these moves, this person’s martial arts are at most second rate in the Jianghu.”

“No, you are wrong.”

A slightly hoarse voice came out of the yard, and then a man in grey robes, with an iron fan in his hand, and a little grey at his temples came out.

Waving his fan, he said firmly: “It’s not that this person’s martial arts is only second-rate, but that they are injured and can only display second-rate strength.”

“God catcher Zhou Qinghe”, some in the crowd immediately recognized his identity. “Isn’t he in Shangjing? Why did he come to AnYang?”

A well-informed person who knew, pretended to be profound: “Don’t you know that Zhan Zhengyi’s leader Lu Hanyang asked him to investigate the death of the sword maniac and the destruction of the Jiangnan Escort Bureau? But I j don’t know how he ended up in AnYang, let alone how he got involved in this incident.”

When it comes to the news of the Jiangnan Escort Bureau, these people can’t control their thoughts. They started to talk about the secret treasure again. A mere Chiyang Gang, how could it be as exciting as the Jiangnan Escort Bureau incident?

“Who knows which master that killed the Chiyang gang was unlucky enough to bump into Zhou Qinghe, the God catcher. I reckon it will take at most two days before the truth comes to light.”

While these melonseed eaters were discussing, Zhou Qinghe was already sitting in the AnYang magistrate. The people sitting around him, besides the governor of Anyang Mansion, and people sent by several other forces, all cast their eyes on him.

Zhou Qinghe shook his fan and recounted the traces found at the scene one by one, adding: “There is another important clue that I didn’t say previously.”

Others were impatient: “What clues?”

“The sword technique used by the murderer was the Jinghong sword technique.” ¹

“Is God catcher Zhou certain?”

Zhou Qinghe’s expression remained firm: “There can be no mistake. Although this person was injured and delicately changed the moves before release, the root of it comes from the jinghong Dao, which I will never mistake.”

He put away his fan and looked at the crowd: “everyone probably doesn’t know that Zhou ² came here because he followed the clues left by the Tianyi Pavilion assassins and young master Yan of the escort bureau all the way from the south of the Yangtze River.”

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes were shocked, and their breathing became rapid. Even those who were not interested in this matter and just paid casual attention sat up straight.

“I was not sure at first, but now I dare to make an assertion.”

With a confident face, Zhou Qinghe looked at everyone one by one.

“Young master Yan of the escort bureau must be here.”
