The Furious Head of the Liu Family

With a wave of his hand, several burly men rushed out from behind him, tied him up with ropes, and quickly took him away from the building.

The surrounding crowd was abuzz with discussion. In the past, when this kind of thing happened, the manager of Drunken Immortal Tower would choose to downplay it and let it go. After all, no matter how incompetent Liu Teng was, he still had the Liu Family behind him.

But this time, the old man's handling of the situation was so intense and brutal, treating Liu Teng like a criminal, which suggests that Liu Teng may have offended a powerful figure in the Soul-Calming Office.

For a moment, many people's eyes fell on Lin Qing, and they were all speculating about Lin Qing identity.

Ninety-nine percent of them were unaware that the Soul-Calming Office had been replaced by a new Constable Chief, so none of them recognized Lin Qing. They simply thought that Lin Qing was young and perhaps a descendant of some important figure in the Soul-Calming Office.

Lin Qing felt the gazes of these people and suddenly lost all interest. He didn't want to attract too much attention, especially in this turbulent environment. However, some people were blind and deliberately walked into the line of fire. How could he swallow his anger?

"Brother Wei Dong, Brother Lin, it's all my fault," Lin Shurou whispered.

"It's none of your business, Lin Shurou. These scoundrels from the Prefectural City are all scum. We've done a good deed for the people. If we don't teach this kid a lesson, even if you escape this time, more beautiful girls will suffer tomorrow," Wei Dong comforted her.

"Wei Dong is right, this matter has nothing to do with you," Lin Qing also said.

"Gentlemen, shall we still eat this meal?" Li Ping suddenly asked. He could sense that everyone's mood had suddenly dropped. They had been happy, but now they all felt very disappointed.

"Never mind, let's come again next time," Lin Qing said.

"Good!"

Everyone got up and left.

On the other side.

Liu Teng was led to a side room on the top floor of the Pavilion, where he knelt down with a thud. In the center of the room sat an elderly man in a blue robe, with an air of refinement, playing with a pair of jade walnuts in his hands.

Upon seeing the old man, Liu Teng immediately burst into tears, crying, "Uncle Qian, you must do me justice! My father and you have been friends for over thirty years; you can't just abandon me!"

"What's going on?" Qian Feng frowned when he saw Liu Teng's appearance. He had a close relationship with Liu Ying, the head of the Liu Family, and this man was Liu Teng's father.

He is now the general manager of Drunken Immortal Tower, and everyone has to consult him on matters big and small.

"Uncle Qian, this kid is blind and went looking for trouble with Lin Qing." The old man then briefly recounted what had just happened.

After listening, Qian Feng glanced at him and said coldly, "Liu Teng, this time you're on your own. No one can save you. I'll send someone to inform your father immediately. Until then, you'll remain tied up. Don't hold a grudge against me; this isn't to harm you, but to save you!"

Liu Teng's face turned deathly pale; the effects of the alcohol had completely worn off. Even Qian Feng, the head steward of Drunken Immortal Tower, dared not save him. Just who was this young man?

"Mr. Qian, who exactly is Lin Qing? Even you don't dare to save me?"

"Lin Qing is one of the Eight Gold Tokens Constable of the Soul-Calming Office. He was just promoted to Constable Chief yesterday. He has extraordinary martial arts Talent and a promising future. Moreover, his backer is Wang Ling. If I let you go like this, Wang Ling comes knocking on my door, I will be the one who suffers. You should let your father handle this matter," Qian Feng said calmly.

In just half an hour, an old man who looked somewhat like Liu Teng but was older and much fatter rushed into the room.

"Father!" Liu Teng turned around, about to cry out.

Snap!

Liu Ying immediately delivered a resounding slap, knocking out several of Liu Teng's teeth and causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"You bastard! I told you long ago that it's fine to indulge in debauchery, but don't bully men and women or cause trouble. You didn't listen, and now you've offended Lord Lin. It's not just your bad luck, but the Liu Family will suffer as well. I will definitely kick you out of the family!" Liu Ying cursed and rushed forward to give him another beating.

Liu Teng rolled on the ground, letting out a pig-like scream.

"Murder! Murder!"

The scene became chaotic. Liu Teng made a complete fool of himself, and his wailing echoed throughout the restaurant. Liu Ying's face turned even more pale.

The saying goes, "Family scandals should not be aired in public," and Liu Teng's behavior has utterly disgraced the Liu Family.

Qian Feng, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward to stop Liu Ying.

"Brother Liu, even if you beat him to death, it won't do any good. In my opinion, it would be better to have him take gifts to the Soul-Calming Office's headquarters to apologize in person. After all, this matter isn't a big deal, and no one has been killed. I'm just worried that Lin Qing will hold a grudge against your Liu Family."

"You're right, this unfilial descendant is infuriating! Fine, I'll take him with me to apologize in person!" Liu Ying sighed.

"Father, is it really necessary? Our Liu Family is a prominent Lineage in the Prefectural City. You are the head of our Liu Family, why are you so afraid of him? I think you're just getting old and timid. Why don't you hand over the position of family head to me?" Liu Teng shouted.

"You, you're really infuriating me!!" Liu Ying's anger had just subsided when a single sentence ignited it again, and she launched into another round of punches and kicks.

This time, Qian Feng didn't stop him, because he felt that Liu Teng really deserved a beating.

The next day.

Lin Qing got up and went to another courtyard directly opposite Tiger Roar Hall, called Phoenix Hall, which also belonged to the Corpse Collector.

Previously, this courtyard was managed by Tu Jiuqian, but now Lin Qing has taken over his position and will be coming to this courtyard every day to perform his duties.

The two courtyards are almost identical in layout, only their names are different.

After Lin Qing was admitted to the hospital, he first gathered everyone in the hospital to check the roster, so that he could have a general impression of everyone.

Lin Qing then disbanded the team and went about his business. As the Constable Chief the Corpse Collection Team, his main responsibility was to assign tasks, such as assigning officers to handle Constable when they arrived, trying to be fair and impartial.

This leaves Lin Qing with a great deal of room for maneuver. He can keep all the Martial Artist' corpses for himself, which will greatly increase the speed at which his strength accumulates.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Qing had fully adapted to his job Constable Chief.

The others in the Phoenix Hall adapted quickly because Lin Qing didn't interfere too much. They did what they did before, the only difference being that Lin Qing took on a significant portion of the corpses to be disposed of, which earned him much praise from the Constable.

After all, Tu Jiusui and the previous few Constable Chief basically never took the initiative to collect the corpses themselves.

Lin Qing occasionally overheard these people's discussions, but he didn't care. He was simply immersed in the joy of his increased strength and focused on his own growth.

On the sixth day, Lin Qing took a day off. He didn't plan to go out, but instead practiced the Tathagata Fist Manual in the courtyard.

However, guests kept coming to the door.

First, Liu Ying brought Liu Teng to apologize and presented him with a silver note worth five thousand taels of silver. Lin Qing did not make things difficult for him, accepted the silver note, and warned Liu Teng not to do anything wrong again.

Next up was the Lü Family of the Inner City, another wealthy and powerful family in the Prefectural City. They weren't first-rate families, but they were still considered second-rate.

The steward of the Lü Family proposed that if Lin Qing were to be nominally a retainer of the Lü Family, he could give up 50% of the profits from a certain mine outside the city.

Lin Qing resolutely refused, as he did not want to get involved with any of the various forces, lest he cause unnecessary trouble.

Although he needed 100,000 taels of silver to upgrade his Rebirth Record, he was not in a hurry.
