Chapter 122: Chapter 104: Killing the Tiger

“Is Zhang Mingze really dead?!”

In the office of the Chief at the Governance Hall, Gu Zhenhui asked in surprise.

The secretary nodded to him:

“Sir, it’s absolutely true. Many people saw the Green-faced Ghost twist Zhang Mingze’s neck in the street!”

“Ha ha!”

Gu Zhenhui laughed heartily, a rare occurrence.

Then he fell into thought, “So, is it really Qingyuan Fist Village that is causing the disturbance?”

The secretary replied, “It should be, especially since the Big Leader made a move.”

“No.”

But Gu Zhenhui shook his head, “If Qingyuan Fist Village really wanted to fight the Tiger Saber Gang, they shouldn’t have jumped out to kill people again after the fake Green-faced Ghost was captured, killing people from both sides no less.”

The secretary puzzledly asked, “Then what is Qingyuan Fist Village really up to?”

Gu Zhenhui narrowed his eyes: “There’s another possibility. Qingyuan Fist Village might have sensed that we were planning to move against them, so they chose to cooperate with the Green-faced Ghost this time, and all of this was orchestrated by him.”

The secretary was shocked, “Is this Green-faced Ghost really that formidable?”

“Zhang Mingze underestimated him and now his body has gone cold.”

Gu Zhenhui shook his head, then ordered:

“Send Cheng Bi with people to Qingyuan District, and order the Inspection Bureau’s personnel to pull back.”

“Sir, the team in Qingyuan District is led by Qian Hengjun from the Third Squad. I’m afraid he won’t obediently comply.”

The secretary cautiously reminded.

Gu Zhenhui smiled, “Zhang Mingze is already dead, would the Inspection Bureau still dare to attack Qingyuan Fist Village? Wu Yihua is a smart man, even if I don’t speak up, he would order the retreat.”

The secretary understood, Gu Zhenhui was intending to show goodwill towards Qingyuan Fist Village actively.

“After the Inspection Bureau has withdrawn, have Cheng Bi find a way to contact the Big Leader and say that I want to have a chat with her.”

“Yes.”

The secretary received the order and left.

A few minutes later, Gu Zhenhui received detailed intelligence about the day’s battles.

When he learned that the Big Leader of Qingyuan Fist Village was able to take the upper hand despite being surrounded by the top experts of the Zhi Ge Court, he couldn’t help but frown, feeling apprehensive.

He also learned that the senior instructor Hao Yi from the Martial Arts Hall, who was a Tao Foundation Stage strong man and the Big leader’s older martial brother, had surfaced from the Tiger Saber Gang who had proposed the alliance.

Now it seemed, the strength of that Big Leader was even stronger than Yan Yichen from the Zhi Ge Court, plus having a Tao Foundation Stage older martial brother, Qingyuan Fist Village was no weaker than the Tiger Saber Gang.

However, Gu Zhenhui still decided to join forces with Qingyuan Fist Village against the Tiger Saber Gang.

As formidable as Qingyuan Fist Village might be, as long as they don’t rebel, the threat to Gu Zhenhui as the Chief was ultimately limited.

But the Tiger Saber Gang was different, they truly had the potential to completely sideline Gu Zhenhui!

In the Six Institutes of Xing City, Gu Zhenhui only fully controlled the Inspection Bureau and half of the Internal Affairs Office.

The Zhi Ge Court was initially aligned with the Tiger Saber Gang, and now the Inspection Bureau had also fallen into the hands of the Tiger Saber Gang.

The remaining Court of Judicial Review and Righteous Court were the focal points of contention between the two, and for now, neither could overpower the other.

From this, one could see the pressure the Tiger Saber Gang was putting on Gu Zhenhui. The two most important martial institutions of the area he could not command, how could he act forcefully as the Chief?

Over the recent years, many of Gu Zhenhui’s proposed policies had failed to pass, an increasing number of officials dared to disobey his orders overtly, making it impossible for him not to hate the Tiger Saber Gang.

Without the removal of the Tiger Saber Gang, his position as the Chief would soon become a joke!

“Draft the Chief Order!”

After reading through all the intelligence, Gu Zhenhui said seriously:

“Dispatch the City Guard Army, led by Wei Ge personally, to Wuguang District to arrest people, citing bandits in the city using hand grenades and firearms. To ensure the safety of Xing City, bring all the troublemakers back, and execute on the spot anyone who dares to resist!”

The secretary, having heard this, was terrified and abruptly looked up at Gu Zhenhui.

The City Guard Army was the military force responsible for city defense, typically stationed at various city gates and hardly ever involved in city affairs.

Independent from the Six Institutes, directly under the Chief’s jurisdiction, they could be considered the Chief’s personal troops.

However, their pay and supplies were provided by local finances, so this force couldn’t really become anyone’s private troops; they merely answered to the Chief.

After taking office, Gu Zhenhui had firmly taken control of the City Guard Army, almost entirely replacing its core with his confidants.

As long as he was in position, this force was his to command!

After all, the activities of the Inspection Bureau involved undercover operations, lacking direct combat strength.

With both the Zhi Ge Court and Inspection Bureau standing with the Tiger Saber Gang, the City Guard Army had become the only military force Gu Zhenhui could rely on in his hands.

Now deploying the City Guard Army was akin to playing his last card.

“Sir, but Wuguang District is a bustling commercial area with a large flow of people. Starting a fight there could…”

The secretary looked carefully at Gu Zhenhui.

Gu Zhenhui turned around, giving him a chilling glare.

The secretary shuddered, daring not say another word, and hurried off to convey the orders.

…

Inside a training ground in the west of the city.

A brawny man, bare-chested and muscled, covered in scars, was fighting barehanded with a two-meter-tall black tiger!

Despite the huge size disparity between the man and the beast, it was the black tiger that was getting beaten and retreating.

Suddenly, with a nimble turn, the brawny man moved to the tiger’s back, then grabbed the animal’s hind legs, pulled with force, and lifted the over thousand-pound black tiger, spun around on the spot, and then fiercely threw it away!
