Rural Mad Doctor

Chapter 431 Cao Erdan's Versailles

Captain Zhang turned around and saw several people striding in from outside.

The man walking ahead of him who greeted him was Lei Gang, a hall master from the imperial gate of Daliang City.

In Captain Zhang's eyes, he was a god-like figure.

Captain Zhang once confiscated a vendor's vehicle on the roadside. The vendor resisted fiercely, and Captain Zhang ordered his men to subdue him by force.

When Lei Gang appeared, he slapped his twenty-odd men so hard they were completely disoriented.

Captain Zhang was forced to kneel down and apologize to the vendor.

Captain Zhang originally wanted to ask him about a crime, but after calling the police, he found out that the man was the head of the Huangmen Hall, and the police station couldn't do anything about it.

Captain Zhang is a man who always changes his stance depending on the wind.

Seeing how formidable the other party was, he realized that calling the police would only upset them, so he quickly brought gifts and went to apologize.

Lei Gang was a straightforward person. As soon as he saw that Lei Gang admitted his mistake, he not only let it go but also invited him to have a drink.

From then on, the two of them were considered acquainted.

At this moment, when Captain Zhang saw Lei Gang, his face immediately lit up with a smile:

"Oh my, Master Lei, it's a pleasure to meet you! What brings you here?"

Just as Lei Gang was about to speak to him, he spotted Cao Erdan.

"Oh, Mr. Cao, you've arrived first! Quickly, our Governor-General has also arrived."

Lei Gang stepped aside, and Zuo Zhaoshan quickly stepped forward to shake hands with Cao Erdan:

"Brother Cao, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Cao Erdan smiled and said, "I just arrived too."

Zuo Zhaoshan asked the lobby manager next to him, "Do you have any private rooms? I want to drink with my brother; it's too noisy outside."

The lobby manager didn't recognize Zuo Zhaoshan and shook his head, saying, "That's all. There was only one left, and it's been given to Captain Zhang now!"

Captain Zhang was so frightened that he almost broke out in a cold sweat.

He yelled at the lobby manager: "Are you out of your mind? Do you think I'd compete with the big shots from the Royal Gate for a private room? That would be asking for trouble! Hurry up and get the private room ready!"

He heard Lei Gang say that this was the governor of the imperial family in Daliang City. This was outrageous! His superiors were all subservient to this man, so who did he think he was?

When Lei Gang got angry, he slapped Lei Gang across the face again.

When Huang Benchu ​​saw his servile demeanor, he couldn't help but laugh:

"What, not going to fight us for a private room anymore?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Gang's eyes widened immediately as he looked at Captain Zhang:

"What? You're fighting with Master Cao for a private room? Are you at it again, trying to bully people?"

Captain Zhang was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud: "No, no, Master Lei, please calm down! I wouldn't dare!"

Xiao Fen, the hostess watching from the side, almost burst out laughing.

The bullying of the weak and fear of the strong is perfectly exemplified in Captain Zhang.

Lei Gang already looked down on this guy, so saying a word to him and greeting him was already giving him the most face.

Seeing his pathetic state makes others not bothered.

He curled his lip and said, "Get lost, and don't let me see you again!"

"Yes, yes, I won't bother you anymore, Mr. Lei!"

When Captain Zhang's friends, who had come from Beijing, saw this guy, they immediately looked down on him: "Let's go, don't bother with this kind of scum in the future!"

Captain Zhang wanted to show off in front of his friends, but he ended up making a huge fool of himself and had no choice but to accept his bad luck.

After going home and reflecting on my actions, I realized I really should change my arrogant ways, because there are too many people more capable than me, and I'll suffer if I continue like this.

From that day on, a different Captain Zhang appeared on this street.

He gets up early every day to help small vendors set up their stalls. If a vendor is blocking the road, he doesn't hit or scold them, but gently persuades them to stop.

They would jog over to help elderly women cross the street.

In less than a year, he became the most lovable person on the street.

Everyone praises Captain Zhang, saying, "Look at his character, it's top-notch!"

No matter which restaurant I ate at, the owner would always offer me a free meal or a discount.

Captain Zhang then realized that you can earn respect without being pretentious, and that respect comes from the heart!

Leaving aside Captain Zhang's failed attempt to show off and subsequent career change, let's get back to the main topic.

Zuo Zhaoshan, Lei Gang, and several of their gang leaders accompanied Cao Erdan into the private room.

Lei Gang, nicknamed "Thunderbolt Hand," was defeated by Cao Erdan last time, but Cao Erdan still gave him face, and he sincerely admired Cao Erdan's skills.

I greatly admire this special envoy from the coastal region.

He considered Cao Erdan to be a superior to him, so when Cao Erdan and Zuo Zhaoshan were chatting, he didn't dare to interrupt and instead pulled Huang Benchu ​​aside to drink.

Zuo Zhaoshan and Cao Erdan drank a few cups together before getting down to business.

"Brother Cao, I should thank you for what happened last time. If I, the governor, were to be controlled by someone, not only would I lose face, but it would also be a disgrace to the entire Imperial Family!"

Cao Erdan laughed heartily: "This matter is over, why are you still bringing it up!"

Zuo Zhaoshan said, "You may think this is a small matter, but I have to treat it as a top priority to investigate. So, I have been investigating who is behind this."

"Did you find it?"

“We’ve traced the source. It’s a force from Zhonggang, led by a man named Yu Haolin. Unfortunately, he’s been killed, and the trail has gone cold. But I know he wasn’t the top leader in Daliang City. He should be a Grandmaster of the Divine Realm named Duan Qilang. Now that you’re back, I’d like you to help me analyze this…”

Cao Erdan waved his hand with a smile: "If it's related to Duan Qilang, then you don't need to investigate."

"What, this Duan Qilang... is your friend?"

The reason Zuo Zhaoshan greeted Cao Erdan first was because Duan Qilang's identity was rather special.

He was a rare master of the divine realm, and Zuo Zhaoshan was afraid that investigating him would involve too much.

So let's discuss it with Cao Erdan first.

When Cao Erdan said he wouldn't allow the investigation, he assumed that Cao Erdan and he had some kind of relationship or connection.

Cao Erdan said calmly, "I ran into him when I went to Daliang Mountain this time, and I've already killed him!"

"What? You killed him?"

Zuo Zhaoshan could hardly believe his ears.

Even Lei Gang, who was chatting and drinking with Huang Benchu, turned his eyes over.

Although he was drinking with Huang Benchu, he was paying attention to what Cao Erdan was saying.

After all, he knows who the main character is.

Everyone was surprised when they heard Cao Erdan say that he had killed a master of the Divine Realm.

No one spoke, waiting for Cao Erdan to reveal the answer.

Cao Erdan spoke of it so casually, as if killing a master of the Divine Realm was as simple as killing a chicken.

"This Duan Qilang controlled the Holy Water Village in the Daliang Mountains, massacred the Holy Fire Village, and made these natives kill each other. Moreover, he set up an ambush to kill me, but I killed him instead!"

"Is that true? This Duan Qilang... is a master of the Divine Realm! It's said he's already reached the third level of the Divine Realm!"

Cao Erdan nodded: "Indeed, it took some effort to kill him. If I hadn't dealt with those ignorant warriors of Shengshui Village first, it might have been easier for me."

That sounds very humble, but it's actually Versailles!

Cao Erdan wouldn't tell them that he had almost burned himself to death after consuming four high-grade Qi-replenishing pills before he managed to kill this Divine Realm expert.

If it weren't for Hua Ruyi helping him quell the internal fire later, he might have gone mad from internal energy.

Although Zuo Zhaoshan found it unbelievable, he also knew that someone like Cao Erdan would not lie to him.

I couldn't help but ask, "Brother Cao, what level are you at now?"
