"Master, what should we do now?"

Although they didn't know each other long ago, they became sisters and brothers from strangers, but Liu Ruyan quickly developed a sense of dependence on the few people around him.

Not to mention Li Yuan, who is good-looking and extraordinary, is Miao Hu, who is full of swearing, and also uses his straight heart to soften the estrangement between Liu Ruyan and him.

At this time, when he heard that there was a problem between the two, he was naturally anxious and asked Zhang Bairen for help.

"Don't worry. ”

Zhang Bairen smiled and said with relief, and looked at his two brothers again.

"Brother Niu, no life, what do you think?"

"What else can you think? Break directly into the City Lord's Mansion, kill the money-greedy City Lord, and rescue your two apprentices by the way, won't you have it!"

Shangguan sat on the window railing without a life, his feet bouncing back and forth, and his face opened casually.

The current location of several people is among the largest inns in Licheng City, and there is a secluded courtyard out of the wallet, but it is also quiet.

"This time, I'm in favor of the lifeless approach, cut through the mess quickly!"

Chen Ziang sat cross-legged on the futon and practiced with his eyes closed.

A Luo Han Guo made his Yuan Shen first realm climb extremely quickly, and the Yuan Shen realm emphasized comprehension and heart, and Luo Han Guo was blessed with both, and also made his originally stable cultivation directly climb to the peak of the first level.

Even, vaguely, he could still feel the impending catastrophe!

"It's not good! It's going to be a lot of trouble. ”

Zhang Bairen smiled bitterly.

"When the ban is broken by the demon clan, it's two to say that Da Zhou is still not there, what is this trouble?"

Shangguan Wuming pursed his lips, but the words he said made Liu Ruyan stunned.

Will something happen in the big week?

How is it possible? Heaven and Earth are just here in the Great Zhou, how can something happen to it?

This sentence is like someone saying that the sky will fall, and I am afraid that no one will believe it.

"So, I think it's better for us to get some people's attention and hurry to the capital. ”

Zhang Bairen smiled at Liu Ruyan and continued to speak.

Indeed, this trouble is not a trouble for the whole Great Zhou, but he can't ignore it either.

After all, Brother Niu also said that if you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?

"Then sit as you intended!"

Chen Ziang opened his eyes, straightened up, and looked out the door.

There, a little two was hurrying towards this side.

"A few guest officers, there's news!"

Xiao Er looked at it eagerly, and opened his mouth with a roar.

"Uh......"

Zhang Bairen's eyes moved slightly, shook his head at Liu Ruyan funny, and took out a few silver coins from his body and handed them over.

"What news, let's hear it. ”

With the magical power of the three of them, even if there is a forbidden law in the city to bless and protect them, but this is only a few tens of miles away, and they can't hide their perception, this little two is naturally asked by Liu Ruyan.

"Early this morning, the city lord opened the court and interrogated Sima's family. ”

Xiao Er smiled and put away the money, and then spoke.

"At that time, the city lord asked, after a snake demon broke into the prison yesterday and wanted to rescue them, the head of the Sima family admitted it on the spot!"

"So the city lord ordered on the spot to behead them in three days!"

"Could it be that the people of the Sima family really fornicate with monsters?"

Liu Ruyan's face turned pale, in Da Zhou, the crime of fornicating with monsters is not light, even if he is implicated, a death sentence is more than enough!

"As it should be. ”

The shopkeeper nodded, and shook his head with some confusion.

"However, yesterday my cousin, who served in the official service, was present, and he said that the snake demon broke into the prison, and the people of the Sima family should have had a chance to escape, but when they investigated afterwards, they found that they had not left their cells from the beginning to the end. ”

"Strange too?"

"What's so strange. ”

Shangguan pursed his lips disdainfully, then turned over and got down the window railing.

"Xiao Man, let's go, let's go find that distant relative of yours. ”

The corners of Gu Xiaoman's mouth rose, and he rarely said to Shangguan Wusheng.

"Childe, I don't have such a distant relative!"

Although she said this, she still honestly followed behind Shangguan Wusheng, like a small tail, and walked towards the door.

"Is this boy going out to visit a friend? Do you need a horse? We can also rent a good horse here, as long as you pay a deposit, it is quite a good deal." ”

The shopkeeper is a clever person who instantly seizes business opportunities.

"What do you want horses for?

Gu Xiaoman didn't have such a good temper with others, and snorted coldly at the shopkeeper, and as soon as the breath on his body was revealed, the other party was shocked and retreated.

"Then I'll go out too. ”

Chen Ziang patted the shopkeeper's shoulder to help him stabilize his body, and also stepped out after the two.

"Master?"

Liu Ruyan looked at this scene blankly, not knowing what was going on.

How do you feel that your thoughts are not on the same beat as theirs at all?

She didn't know that the connection between the three people in front of her was somewhat special, and they could almost communicate with each other, especially Zhang Bairen and Shangguan Wusheng.

Moreover, for them, the rotation of thoughts is too fast, and an ordinary person is often stunned, and they have already finalized the plan.

"Leave them alone, let's go out and have a look. ”

"Then master, why do they have to admit that they don't have an affair with the monster?

Liu Ruyan still had doubts in her heart.

"So to speak. ”

Zhang Bairen nodded.

"But you didn't listen to that little er, the city lord asked if there were any demons who broke into the prison yesterday and wanted to help them escape. And their answer was only for this question, but it wasn't really related to the snake demon, otherwise, why didn't they run away?"

Liu Ruyan looked dazed, and still couldn't come back to her senses.

"You are too young and inexperienced, and it is normal for you to lack judgment on things, and you will want to see more in the future. ”

Zhang Bairen patted her shoulder and smiled.

In order to rule steadily and the people multiply, the imperial court will never allow one party to monopolize power.

The art of checks and balances was born from this.

Naturally, there are also characters in the city who can balance the city lord, and there are three of them.

The first one, naturally, is the adjutant of the city lord, although the rank is not high, but he has the duty of supervising the city lord, and the city lord's departure assessment also needs his judgment.

Mei Xinmei, the official of Licheng, is over seventy years old, and his house is in the south of the city, with five courtyards before and after, and a small garden.

Because of his old age, he no longer goes to the official office, but lives his own small life, and he has a lot of money to buy every holiday, but he is also leisurely.

"This is Mei-sama's house?"

Today, in front of the Mei Mansion, which has been rarely visited, a big man has appeared.

"Exactly, I don't know who you are?"

The five-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, Lord Mei's guard at the gate of the mansion is not a simple role, but the person who came just quietly went to that station, but let him subconsciously receive him carefully.

"Taiyi You Fang Daoist, Chen Ziang. ”

Chen Ziang waved one hand, and a token immediately appeared in his hand.

The Great Zhou's Mixed Yuan Forbidden Law is a formation eye made of thirteen pure yang magic weapons, two of which are provided by Taiyi, so Taiyi's identity token does not have to be slightly inferior to officials of the same level in Dazhou!

And because of the identity, in terms of prestige, it is even higher!

"It turned out to be Daochang Chen, please inside, please inside!"

Although he didn't see the token clearly, there were few people in the world who dared to forge Taiyi Daoist, and besides, the popularity of the person who came was extraordinary, and the people guarding the door naturally didn't dare to offend.

"Master Mei is here, and I have something to visit next. ”

Chen Ziang nodded and stepped through the door.

"Dao Chief, please wait in the front hall for a while, and the villain will go to report to the master!"

The doorman confessed, and his own subordinates led the reception, and he himself hurried towards the backyard.

The tea was brewing, and before the heat dissipated, an old man with crane hair and a childish face greeted him with a red face under the support of the two warriors.

"Haha...... , No wonder the magpie is singing today, it turns out that it is a distinguished guest who comes to the door, and the mansion is really full of brilliance!"

Although Mei Xin's martial arts are not refined, her body is transparent, and it seems that she has taken a lot of natural treasures that can maintain her body.

"Lord Mei is polite, it may not be a good thing to come down!"

Chen Ziang got up from his seat and arched his hand towards the visitor with an expressionless face.

"Oh, I don't know what I mean by that?"

Mei Xin stretched out her hand and motioned, and the two sat down with each other.

"Not long ago, when I was passing through this place on the way, I heard that there were monsters in this place, so I planned to go into the mountains to destroy the demons and accumulate merit. ”

Chen Ziang picked up the teacup and took a sip quietly.

"I never thought about it, but I met someone fornicating with monsters, which is really chilling. ”

"Yes! ”

Mei Xin also nodded regretfully.

"However, fortunately, the city lord Hu has already found out about this matter, put the person who fornicated with the monster into the prison, and beheaded him on a certain day, which can be regarded as giving some explanation to the people and the court. ”

"Really?"

Chen Ziang smiled coldly.

"But as far as I can tell, that doesn't seem to be the case?"

"I've also heard some gossip from the Dao Chief, and I've heard some people say things about how the city lord of this city is, but that's all nonsense, don't believe it!"

Mei Xin's face froze, and he slowly spoke after half a sound.

"Don't worry, Lord Mei, I generally only believe what I see!"

Chen Ziang put down the tea cup in his hand.

"Before coming to Mei Mansion, I also went to the homes of several rich and wealthy gentry in the city, and they complained about the city lord in every way, but said that Lord Mei was highly respected and was a famous minister. ”

"This ......"

Mei Xinyan looked more and more strange.

"I am old and old, and I have not been diligent in political affairs all these years, which is really worthy of the love of all of you. ”

"Otherwise, the physique of adults is transparent, and it is the time when there is a lot to do. ”

Chen Ziang shook his head.

"I am a cultivator who doesn't know anything about politics, but I also know that a big mess in one place is not good for anyone, so if you can, it's best to solve it yourself!"

"If not, it's okay to slash the demon with a sword!"

As soon as the words fell, Chen Ziang's expression froze, and he slashed forward with one hand, and a strong wind roared and rushed straight out of the house.

"Who is it?"

"Smack......

"Oops......"

The sound of a person falling to the ground in surprise outside the window sounded, which also made Mei Xin's eyes in the house angry.

"Shao Tan, what are you doing outside?"

"Zhong Xin, ask him well!"

"Yes, sir. ”

A person behind him immediately bowed and left.

After half a ring, he reappeared, leaned into Mei Xin's ear and muttered a few words, and saw Mei Xin's face slowly turn blue.

"Dao Chief, I don't know where you want to go later?"

"I'm about to go to the office of Master Wu. ”

Chen Ziang smiled indifferently.

"It's just right, and the old man will write a letter in his hand, and the tired Taoist will send it to Lord Wu's hands. ”

"That's fine!"
