Chapter 2259 2261【Premonition is coming】


    ?? Qin Tao gave an order, and more than a dozen police officers rushed out together, taking the lead and not falling behind.


    The reason for this is that on the one hand, Qin Tao is a member of the Six Gates, and everyone wants to show off in front of him; on the other hand, they all think that they have a large number of people here, while the private salt dealer is alone, so they greatly underestimated the possibility of catching him. Difficulty of catching.


    Comparatively, Xiang Nan was the last one to rush out, and he didn’t bother to rush forward to grab the position.


    Because he knew in his heart that even if the salt dealer was caught today, Qin Tao would be the first to take credit, and no one else would be able to rob him.


    ??Moreover, others are vying to make meritorious deeds in order to transfer the six doors.


    Xiang Nan, however, had no interest in the Six Gates. As an errand, he had to listen to orders and announcements, so he had no freedom at all.


    In the future, he wants to travel around the world and obtain secrets from major martial arts sects.


    Working as a errand at Six Doors has no freedom at all, so it is naturally not his choice.


    ?Hence, he is not like others who work hard to perform, and do not even show 10% of their strength.


    …


    ?Seeing the police officers rushing out together, the owner of Fukelai Restaurant was so frightened that his face turned pale, his feet became weak, and he collapsed directly to the ground.


    ?When the private salt dealer saw this, he did not just surrender. Instead, he pulled out two daggers from his arms and started fighting with the policemen.


    ?Looking at him, he was short and thin, with an unassuming appearance, but he was actually quite good at martial arts. His two daggers were flying up and down, not only keeping the detectives away, but he stabbed several people in a matter of seconds.


    ?This is no wonder.


    ?These detectives are basically the same as Xing Yusen and Yan Xiaoliu, they all have little skill in their bodies. It''s okay to scare ordinary people with a knife, but it doesn''t work when it comes to martial arts masters.


    ?So a dozen police officers rounded up the illegal salt dealers, but they were left in a deserted place, beaten and completely defeated.


    Seeing this, Qin Tao took the crossbow from his waist, put on the arrow feathers, and shot out an arrow with fear.


    Xiang Nan watched six directions and listened in all directions. He naturally knew that there was a crossbow arrow shooting from behind, and immediately slashed at the salt dealer.


    ?The private salt dealer saw that his sword was too strong and he did not dare to resist, so he hurriedly dodged to the side. There was a pop, then blood burst out, and wailing suddenly began.


    It turned out that it was better that he didn''t dodge, but he just hit the arrow when he dodged. The arrow hit his right arm, instantly crippling one of his arms.


    When other detectives saw this, their morale immediately increased and they took the opportunity to attack fiercely.


    ??The salt dealer only had one left arm left, and his strength was greatly reduced. After blocking it for a few times, he finally couldn''t resist it and was subdued by the police together.


    …


    “Humph, your martial arts are pretty good. What’s your rank in the salt gang?” Qin Tao walked up and asked the salt dealer.


    “Bah~” Although the salt dealer was subdued, he was still dissatisfied. He looked at Qin Tao and spat fiercely.


    When the old policeman from Shibalipu saw this, he immediately hit him on the waist with a knife. The pain made the illegal salt dealer turn pale, "You have been arrested, I advise you to be more honest, otherwise you will suffer a lot." "


    "Take him back to the prison and I will interrogate him carefully." Qin Tao nodded and immediately ordered.


    “What about him~” Yan Xiaoliu pointed at the owner of Fuke Lai Restaurant and said.


    “Let’s leave this kind of trivial matter to Lou Magistrate County.” Qin Tao said nonchalantly and escorted the private salt dealer back to the prison.


    Upon seeing this, Yan Xiaoliu quickly locked up the boss of Fu Ke Lai and took him to the Yamen.


    It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t have chicken or duck, or it doesn’t have fish. Although he has no share in the illegal salt trade, catching someone buying illegal salt can be regarded as his contribution.


    “Wang Fu, you dare to buy private salt, and everyone gets the stolen goods, what else do you have to say?” Lou Zhixian shouted.


    "Sir, I''ve been fooled by lard. I shouldn''t be greedy for cheap and buy private salt. I know my fault, so I beg you to be merciful!" said the boss of Fuke Lai, kowtowing repeatedly.


    "Come on, pull him down and beat him with twenty big boards, then wear shackles and chains, and show him at the gate of the government office for ten days to serve as a warning." Magistrate Lou immediately ordered. "Spare your life, sir, spare my life!" When the boss heard this, he was so frightened that he almost fainted on the spot.


    ?It is now a scorching summer, and he has been shackled at the yamen gate for ten days, and the sun has burned him to death. What''s more, it''s really embarrassing to show off in public.


    But Magistrate Lou must enforce the law strictly and did not listen to him at all. Therefore, he had no choice but to be pulled down to be beaten with a plank, and then put in shackles to show to the public, which was extremely painful.


    …


    In the prison, Qin Tao was also leading people to extract confessions from private salt dealers.


    ??The private salt dealers are quite stubborn and have been refusing to reveal their distributors.


    “Okay, you can be tough.” Qin Tao sneered, “Let’s see which one is tougher, your bones or my instruments of torture.”


    As he spoke, he ordered people to whip him with a whip and burn him with a soldering iron, which made Yan Xiaoliu''s face turn blue.


    Xiang Nan doesn''t care. Over the years, countless people have died at his hands, let alone this little punishment.


    In his opinion, Qin Tao doesn''t even know how to interrogate.


    When interrogating a prisoner, the focus is always on attacking the mind first, followed by attacking the body. Blind torture can only lead to inferiority. This is basically of little use to die-hards who are determined to die.


    Sure enough, despite being tortured by Qin Tao in all kinds of ways, the private salt dealer was tortured until he was reduced to human form, but he never let go. This made Qin Tao very angry.


    ?It seems that if the fighting continues, the private salt dealer will be beaten to death. He could only temporarily stop the torture, ask the doctor to treat his injuries, and then continue tomorrow.


    Xiang Nan and others then exited the prison and went home.


    After leaving, Yan Xiaoliu vomited at the corner of the street.


    He has been working as a police officer for half a year. He is only responsible for patrolling the streets and has only a few people.


    This was the first time he saw torture. The **** and miserable scene was a huge shock to him.


    “Brother Li, am I too useless?” Yan Xiaoliu said feeling embarrassed after vomiting.


    ?Nothing happened to anyone else, but he was the only one who vomited into a mess. It was really embarrassing.


    "No, just get used to it." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "But, Xiao Liu, I hope you don''t get used to it."


    “Why?” Yan Xiaoliu was a little confused.


    "Because you vomited because you were soft-hearted and had sympathy for even the prisoners. But when you didn''t vomit, those prisoners were no longer human in your eyes. You watched them being beaten. "It''s like watching chickens and fishes being slaughtered. How can I still vomit?" Xiang Nan explained, "Once your heart is hardened, it will never soften again."


    ??In the past he didn''t even dare to kill a chicken, but now he has killed nearly a thousand people with his own hands.


    Yan Xiaoliu listened, but he seemed to understand.


    …


    Back home, after Xiang Nan had dinner, he went to the courtyard to practice martial arts.


    ?He felt a little uneasy in his heart, and this uneasiness could only be alleviated if he kept moving.


    Xiang Nan knew that this was the premonition inherited from Fang Zhanbo.


    Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, Ping Gu may come to rob the prison, and his life may be in danger.


    ?Pinggu Yidianhong is known as the number one swordsman of the evil sect. He has superb swordsmanship and can cut off the wings of flies with one sword, which even shocked Bai Zhantang.


    ??If he hadn''t been distracted from dealing with Guo Furong and Bai Zhantang took the opportunity to hit his acupoints, he would have destroyed Tongfu Inn with his martial arts.


    That''s why Xiang Nan had a premonition.
