My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 358 - 198: Li Hengsheng’s Hellish Beginning (Part 3)
As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Santong’s expression changed. He gritted his teeth fiercely, then stepped out the door again.
Xu Kui looked at Li Hengsheng. He felt that since coming out of the Mountain Ancient Land, Li Hengsheng’s behavior had matured a lot.
Killing them was indeed a very wise choice.
If we don’t kill them, it will cause a lot of trouble.
After a short while, Wu Santong returned from outside, his face somewhat sullen, with bloodstains on his body, even his lips were trembling.
"Senior Brother, I did it," Wu Santong said, taking a deep breath.
"Hmm, that’s the way it should be." Li Hengsheng stepped forward and patted Wu Santong on the shoulder, "This is a cannibalistic place. If we are not ruthless, then those who are ruthless will be our enemies. So here, we must never have any mercy. If you are not decisive enough, you’ll be devoured by others."
"I understand, Senior Brother." Wu Santong also nodded vigorously.
Old Zheng and his wife were taken aback; they never expected the people from the Hua family to be killed by the three guests who had come.
They were terrified for a while.
Later, when Li Hengsheng saw the couple’s pale faces, he pondered for a moment and did not continue to stay.
He took Xu Kui and Wu Santong out to find an empty room and slept for a night.
The next day, after waking up, they set off again.
The closer they got to Tushan City, the more Li Hengsheng felt the eerie atmosphere of White Snake Dao.
The faces of the commoners here all bore exhaustion, almost devoid of any smiles, and the environment was very poor, with refugees and beggars seen everywhere.
It was like arriving at some refugee camp.
What made Li Hengsheng feel even more saddened was that his previous suspicions were all correct. Everyone held the Inspection Mansion in contempt.
The Mansion colluded with some evil forces and acted like dogs for them. If commoners went to the Inspection Mansion to file complaints, there would basically be no result.
Over time, all the commoners of White Snake Dao lost faith in the Inspection Mansion.
"Young Master, Fang Zhiliu has committed countless evil acts, causing all the people of White Snake Dao to have a bad impression of him. Even the Inspection Mansion has no credibility. When you take office as Inspector, I’m afraid things will become more troublesome," Wu Santong said worriedly.
"It doesn’t matter; can things get any worse?" Li Hengsheng seemed accustomed to it already.
Finally, they arrived at Tushan City.
The situation in the city was somewhat better than outside, with a semblance of a normal city, but the atmosphere inside was still somewhat off.
Li Hengsheng could feel many eyes watching them since they entered the city.
However, Li Hengsheng wasn’t concerned.
He carefully observed the situation in the city.
Many businesses in the city bore the Hua family’s insignia, and others displayed a ’Mu’ character.
It seemed to be the legendary Prefecture.
At least for now, it appeared that the Hua family and the Prefecture controlled the economic lifeline of the city.
Many laborers toiled on the streets, some even carrying heavy loads while being whipped by overseers, brutally.
Li Hengsheng didn’t intervene; there was no point in dealing with such matters now.
The three of them led their horses to the entrance of the Inspection Mansion.
There was a tea stall at the entrance of the Inspection Mansion. Li Hengsheng didn’t rush in. Instead, he sat down, ordered a pot of tea, and quietly observed the Inspection Mansion.
The exterior of the Inspection Mansion was extremely dilapidated, with the sign above it appearing ready to fall off.
There were no guards at the entrance of the Inspection Mansion.
The gate was wide open, deserted.
At first, he thought it was for the convenience of people entering to lodge complaints. But upon closer inspection, it turned out half of the gate was missing, looking as if it hadn’t been repaired in years.
"Boss,"
Li Hengsheng asked the tea stall owner, "Is this the Inspection Mansion? Why does it look so rundown?"
The tea stall owner glanced over and said, "No money for repairs, it’s normal, it’s been broken for a long time."
"And the Inspector works in such a broken-down place?" Wu Santong also couldn’t help but ask in surprise.
"Inspector?"
The tea stall owner chuckled and said, "You guys obviously come from outside. Let me tell you, I’ve been running this stall for over two years. Since I started, I’ve never seen the Inspector. He never came here at all, right?"
Hearing this, Li Hengsheng and Wu Santong could only smile helplessly.
If he never comes, why bother repairing anything?
"Let’s go in," Li Hengsheng felt there was nothing more to see and led the two inside the Inspection Mansion.
The entire Inspection Mansion was like an empty shell, completely uninhabited; the inside was quite big but unfortunately empty, with many places covered in cobwebs or thick dust.
"What are you doing here?"
Just then, a somewhat hoarse voice came.
Li Hengsheng turned his head and saw an old man with a gray beard coming out from the backyard, wearing a soldier’s uniform, appearing to be a constable of the Inspection Mansion.
He looked at Li Hengsheng and the others warily, shouting, "Who are you people? This is the Inspection Mansion, don’t trespass!"
"Are you the only one here?"
Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but ask.
"What’s wrong with me being the only one?" the old man snorted coldly, pulling out a knife from his waist, "Even if it’s just me, I’m not afraid of the three of you. I am a constable of the Inspection Mansion! My grandfather was once the godly constable of the Inspection Mansion, renowned throughout White Snake Dao!"
