Protector Li received the order and immediately rushed to a small town not far from the foot of Xing Mountain, called Pengling Ancient Town.
The people of Pengling Ancient Town had always lived a peaceful and happy life. Protector Li once passed through here and saw these happy people, which sparked malicious thoughts in him, unable to stand others' happiness.
Protector Li soon arrived at the ancient town and settled in a hostel with a few of his men, then began to observe and search for targets.
That day, Fang Xiaotong had just returned from chopping wood on the mountain, and after selling it for a few taels, he prepared to go home, passing by a casino.
"Xiaotong, why not come and gamble a few rounds? You might have good luck today. Otherwise, even if you chop wood for a lifetime, you won't earn much and remain poor," said Boss Zhu, the casino owner, seeing him hesitate at the entrance.
"Uh, I'll just take a look and go back soon," Fang Xiaotong explained.
