Volume 1 Connected by the Same Fate Chapter 29 Exploring Moyu City at Night

Just when the dog tried his best to break the mirror, Shi Chanji went to see a person, this person has a pivotal position in Moyu City, Shi Chanji has banned the abbot of Tonggu Temple Zhikong, he must give this person an explanation, and this person is the city lord of this city, Zhao Jingyan!

According to legend, Moyu City was established by Zhao Feiyu, the ancestor of the Zhao family, and it was not called Moyu City at the beginning, but named Feiyu City in the name of Zhao Feiyu, the ancestor of the Zhao family.

But three hundred years ago, the Zhao family declined, and was almost taken away by the traitor as the city lord, but fortunately, the Zhao family city lord who was about to succeed at that time had a divine bird named Mo Yu when he traveled abroad, and then got the help of the divine bird, which turned the danger into a disaster and regained control of the Mo Yu City, according to legend, the Mo Yu Divine Bird spread its wings and flew away after helping the Zhao family city lord at that time, and disappeared!

Since then, the people in Moyu City have all believed that the Zhao clan is blessed by God, and if they snatch the position of the city lord with them, they will be punished by heaven, so in the past three hundred years, although the Zhao clan has suffered several times, the usurpation of the city has not happened!

At that time, the city lord was grateful for the help of the Moyu Divine Bird, and then changed the original word Feiyu to Moyu to use it as the name of the city, and the original Feiyu was used to name the main street of the central axis of Moyu City, which can be regarded as a kind of commemoration of the ancestors in disguise!

"Shi Jiaotou, the city lord, please go in!" Shi Chanji waited outside the gate of the city lord's mansion for a while, and a middle-aged man in his forties trotted out all the way, this person's name is Lin Ying, he is the steward of the city lord's mansion, and he is also the most trusted cronies of Zhao Jingyan!

"Thank you Lin for taking care of things!" Seeing this person, Shi Chanji didn't dare to hold it up, hugged his fists, thanked him, and then followed Lin Ying into the mansion.

The two of them walked through the front hall, and only stopped in front of a study in the backyard: "Shi Jiaotou, the city lord is waiting for you in the study, you can go in as soon as you enter, and the old slave will leave first!"

"Knock! knock!" Shi Chanji knocked on the door knocker three times, and a slightly low man's voice came from the room: "Come in!"

Shi Chanji pushed the door into the house, only to see a middle-aged man wearing a cyan gown, a well-proportioned figure was waiting for him in the house, this man's lips were slightly thin, his eyes were like electricity, and his face was hard, it can be seen that he should also be a decisive person when he was young.

"Shi Chanji has seen the city lord!" Shi Chanji hugged his fist at Zhao Jingyan and said with a slight bow.

"Well, the head of the Shi Sect is here, don't be polite, sit down!" Zhao Jingyan nodded lightly and said.

"Thank you, Lord City Lord, Lord Shi, come to ...... this time" After Shi Chanji sat down, he was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhao Jingyan as soon as he raised his hand!

"Needless to say, what did you do here, I already know, your two disciples died tragically in the hands of demons, you want to take revenge, this matter is understandable, the captains of the city patrol can all be at your disposal, eight hundred city guards, I can also call you three hundred, in case of emergency!"

"Thank you for the kindness of the city lord, Shi Chanji can't repay it!" Shi Chanji suddenly got up and said respectfully!

"Shi Jiaotou, listen to what I have to say!" Zhao Jingyan walked to Shi Chanji's side, helped him up, and then said.

"Lord Castle, please speak!"

"Shi Sect Head, my Moyu City can have such a situation today, it can be said that thanks to you, me, and Zhikong, with our three third-grade monks and the eight hundred city guards in my hands, Moyu City can be as stable as a rock in the same level of cities, you should understand, so none of the three of us can afford to lose!"

"Yes! I understand, Zhikong's matter, I was reckless!"

"I don't know why Zhikong protects that demon, but I hope that you don't have a dislike for him because of this matter, I can't give you a joint document between the Adjudication Department and the Military Tribunal Bureau, otherwise this matter will be placed on the table, no matter who is right or wrong in this matter, everyone's face will not look good, and it is easy to arouse the suspicion of the people in this city, and it will not be beneficial to my Moyu City!"

"Shi understands that I was just angry at that time, so I was talking nonsense, and it is not easy to regret it when I think about it at this time!" Shi Chanji thought about it for a while, and then followed Zhao Jingyan's words and said.

"Hmm!" Hearing Shi Chanji's remarks, Zhao Jingyan nodded slightly, and then said: "Although the official document can't be issued, I can inform Abbot Zhikong in my private capacity, so that he can recite scriptures and worship the Buddha in the temple these days, and don't interfere in this matter anymore!"

"It's so natural that it's excellent, or the city lord, you are thoughtful, Shi is a rough person, it's never enough!" Shi Chanji said with a little compliment.

"Hahaha! Okay, in that case, the head of the Shi Sect doesn't have to waste time with me, catch that demon as soon as possible, and give your two apprentices an explanation!" Zhao Jingyan smiled and said loudly.

"In this case, Shi will retire first, and the city lord will be safe!" Shi Chanji finished speaking, took two steps back, turned around and left the study.

For Zhao Jingyan, it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong between Zhikong and Shi Chanji, and it doesn't matter whether the two disciples of Shi Chanji died at the hands of dogs, the important thing is that these two third-grade monks in the city must not fight among themselves, and they can't be dominant, otherwise Moyu City may not be peaceful.

His actions this time have already given Shi Chanji enough face, but it also contains a warning, so that Shi Chanji can't act too much, he Zhao Jingyan has his own bottom line, no matter who it is, it can't be easily overcome, and Shi Chanji is naturally no exception!

......

As night falls, a furry moon hangs in the sky, barely shining through, not very common, but a godsend for some who are ready to run errands at night!

With a bone spear in his hand, the dog sneaked all the way to the city wall, but found that the security of Moyu City at this moment was much stricter than before, thinking that he had caused the scene and made the people in the city wary!

The dog groaned slightly, pinched a finger in his hand, and suddenly a black mist shrouded his body, in this dark night, it was difficult for ordinary people to find her traces!

This spell is called "Fog Concealment", which is a method of concealing the body recorded in "Huangquan Ghost Fighting", but this method is a bit harsh on the surrounding environment, but it is applicable tonight!

The dog entered the city this time, not for anything else, just to find Chen Lan's corpse for a look, in this "Huangquan Ghost Master" recorded a kind of soul control method, once the recipient is controlled by this method, it will be completely controlled by the spellcaster, not only that, if the recipient has been spelled for too long, the spell caster can even rely on this technique to annihilate his soul, let it die silently.

These days, the dog has been carefully recalling the scene when he fought with Chen Lan that day, but after thinking about it, the dog still feels that with his palm power at that time, even if he really hit Chen Lan, it is impossible to cause her to die on the spot.

The truth of all this, after the dog has inspected Chen Lan's body, will naturally be clear, if it is really due to spiritualism, the deceased will be between three and five days after death, the eyeballs will gradually become bloodshot, and the entire whites of the eyes will turn bloody!

The dog is very smooth in infiltrating Moyu City, although this group of soldiers is heavily guarded, but after all, they are only non-grade martial artists, plus Jiangcheng helps the dog to cover up the breath of the living, it is even more difficult to detect!

In the past, when I was in Feifeng City, the dog listened to the chats of those benefactors, and it was considered to have gained some knowledge, and the cities of the human race were roughly the same in terms of planning, basically one city and three divisions, and some fourth-level small cities with a population of only a hundred thousand such as Feifeng City and Moyu City were also accustomed to gathering all the official offices in the city in one place to facilitate affairs.

The so-called one city and three divisions, this city naturally refers to the city lord's mansion, and it is also the most powerful place in a city, and the three divisions are the three offices under the city lord's mansion, responsible for handling various affairs inside and outside the city.

The three divisions are the Department of Urban Affairs, the Department of Adjudication and the Department of Urban Defense, and the highest official of the three divisions is Si Cheng.

The Department of Urban Affairs consists of a banking bureau, a tax warehouse, an account office, a grain depot, and a subordinate department of the city, which are responsible for handling various duties in the city, including planning, taxation, repairing the city, and people's livelihood.

The adjudication department has a ruling yamen, a patrol captain and a warden, who are mainly responsible for arbitrating large and small cases in the city, collecting and arresting criminals, and temporarily acting as a staff member when the war comes, of course, to a certain extent, they also have the responsibility of supervising the officials in the city, and the captain of the patrol city is not just as simple as patrolling the city!

The City Defense Department consists of a city guard, a military court office, an armory, etc., which are responsible for defending the security of the city and solving the invading enemy.

However, in order to show fairness, when the Military Court Department handles a case, the General Adjudication Department will send a clerk to record the case handling process, which can be regarded as a means to prevent favoritism and fraud!

Shi Chanji is the head of the city protection army, his apprentice should naturally be regarded as a member of the military, if he dies, before the murderer is caught, the body will generally be preserved in a special way, if it is not bad, Chen Lan's body should be temporarily stored in the "corpse" of the military court office.

But after entering the city, the dog is indeed a little confused, although it can be regarded as walking a few back and forth in Moyu City, but every time it is in a hurry, and it is in a hurry, which is next to it, I don't know it at all!

There is no way, so I can only run in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion first, who makes the building the most conspicuous in the whole city, anyway, the large and small official offices in the city are not far away, and if you find the City Lord's Mansion, presumably the Military Court Office will not be far away!

The dog made up his mind, avoided several patrolling soldiers along the way, and went towards the city lord's mansion, tossing for most of the day, going around in two circles, and finally found the military court office.

The dog was about to climb over the wall to get in, but suddenly heard Jiang Cheng remind her: "There is someone behind you!"

Immediately afterwards, a young man's voice rang out: "What a bold thief, do you dare to steal from the head of the Military Court Office?"
