Someone slammed the table and roared, "Arrest my ass!"
"And you want us to lay ambushes on all sides and strike from every direction?"
"The experts are all dead. What can those little nobodies possibly do?"
The people from the Patrol House were furious, but they were also afraid.
Some of them knew just how formidable the Qing Feng Guard of the Unique Association was.
Any one of the Qing Feng Guard could take action, and they would be unable to withstand it.
In fact, a single Qing Feng Guard might slaughter all dozen or so people present.
And yet—
Even Qing Feng Guards like that had died.
What could they possibly use to arrest Chu Qing?
Everyone was at their wits' end.
Before long, another messenger rushed in in a panic. "My lords, disaster!"
The messenger was flustered.
Even more flustered than before.
A constable snapped, "What is it?"
"Calm down!"
"Get out, knock, and then come back in!"
The messenger swallowed, went outside, and knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
The messenger scrambled back inside and shouted:
"Disaster!"
"One of the constables sent to arrest Chu Qing just had his entire family exterminated!"
"What?"
The mid- and upper-level officials all stared in horror.
Some even collapsed to the floor.
A constable looked outside and saw the blazing sun hanging high overhead.
"In broad daylight, under the clear heavens, someone actually exterminated a constable's entire family?"
"Is your information correct?"
The messenger nodded frantically. "It's correct!"
The faces of the many mid- and upper-level officials turned ugly.
"Chu Qing!"
"It must have been Chu Qing."
"That bastard... he's too ruthless!"
"How dare he retaliate against us?"
"We only wanted to arrest him, have Young Master Heaven punish him, have the Emperor rebuke him, and have the law discipline him."
