The dispassionate and cold words were uttered by Xu Lao Ying, his face still bearing traces of fatigue, coming across as harmless as any big brother next door.

These words sent shockwaves through Gong Zheng, who was kneeling on the ground, he couldn’t believe that the former showed neither interest nor moved by his proposal. Could it be that they were not picking on him due to his collusion with Mi Hou? For a moment, he was at a loss about how to respond to this.

Tang Luo, holding a handkerchief over his nose, said indifferently, “Have done so many utterly conscienceless and inhuman things, don’t pretend to have morals or feelings now.”

These days, to help Xu Lao Ying find Gong Zheng, he had published a task in the Martial Hall, which was to investigate the connection between the Righteous Gang and Gong Zheng.

Although Gong Zheng had disguised himself as a beggar and used a pretty good concealment technique to dodge the hunt, the case file against the Righteous Gang had been placed on Tang Luo’s desk.

It was only after reading these case files that he came to realize the so-called ”righteousness” of the Righteous Gang.

Xihng had an order prohibiting farming, so those civilians who had not sought refuge under the noble families could only earn a living by doing odd jobs. Some skilled individuals could still get by, but they were also subject to extortion by the locals.

For instance, a family owning a small food shop could barely make twenty or thirty gold pieces a day, and after deducting the cost of the ingredients, they could earn about ten gold pieces or so. However, if they were operating in West City, they had to pay the Righteous Gang a protection fee of two hundred gold pieces per month.

If they did not pay up, the gang would send people to destroy their business. They might even destroy your shop if you dared to retaliate. For these people who had no capacity to establish their clans, the martial experts of the Righteous Gang were already the top masters they could reach. What capacity did they have to resist?

unabashedly the Righteous Gang collected these protection fees as this was a duty entrusted to them
