Chapter 441: Lord Prefect
For the common people, a monkey speaks in his mouth, and this is the sign of a monster. With an exclamation, the surrounding crowd dispersed and instantly retreated more than a dozen feet away.
But they didn't leave there, but stood in the distance, looking up. For them, a youkai is terrifying, but after ensuring their own safety, this excitement still has to be put together.
"Spare your life, Daxian spare your life!" the general turned pale and pleaded in a low voice.
"Spare you, I'm going to screw your head off and kick it as a ball!" said the stone monkey viciously.
"Don't, beg the great immortal to spare my life, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a young son who is not yet a month old, and if they die here, they will have no one to take care of them......" The general pleaded.
The stone monkey does not give up, and with the force in his hands, he wants to strangle the person in front of him. Nie Chen sighed and waved his hand at the stone monkey.
"Forget it, this person is only acting on orders, it is not a heinous crime, let him go!"
The stone monkey was unwilling, but he didn't dare to disobey Nie Chen's order easily. With a grunt, he let go and threw the general aside.
"Let's get out of here, or we'll get into more and more trouble. Nie Chen frowned and turned around to leave.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance sounded, and an errand officer galloped forward. When he came to the general, the officer turned over and dismounted, and hugged his fist at the general.
"Report to the general, the prefect has an order for you to obtain the fur of the golden ape. This is a tribute to the emperor, and there is absolutely no room for error!"
The corners of the general's mouth twitched: "You must get it?" He said it easily, and he has the ability to take it himself. I still want to live a few more years, but I'm not interested in killing myself!"
"You dare to disobey the order!" the face of the visitor sank.
"Hmph! He is the prefect, but according to the laws of our court, I am a general who guards the city, and I am not his direct subordinate. promised to help before, but it was just to see that he had been friends for many years and gave him a little face as a prefect.
Now, he wants to use the title of prefect to suppress me, which is really an inch. You go back and tell him that I'm not going to wait. If he has the ability, he will go to the court to sue me!"
Lu Tai left a word, snorted angrily, turned on his horse, and turned away with his soldiers.
In normal times, he would never speak like this, after all, the prefect is also his top boss. Although it is not a direct relationship, the attitude of the other party can also affect one's future.
But now, as soon as the stone monkey stretched out his hand, he almost lost his life. He Lu Tai is a person who knows the current affairs, and he knows that the person in front of him cannot be provoked. finally got a chance to live, and he naturally wouldn't run stupidly to die.
"You!" the officer was furious, but there was nothing he could do. had no choice but to turn around and glared at Nie Chen viciously.
"Little girl, if you know each other, take the initiative to hand over the golden ape. Otherwise, the prefect will be angry, your life will not be guaranteed, and your nine clans will be affected!"
"Are you prefects usually so domineering?" Nie Chen frowned, a little more angry in his heart.
As soon as he appeared, he accidentally caused so much trouble with a stone monkey. If it were the people of this city, whoever has any treasure in their hands will not have caused a catastrophe long ago.
"How our prefect is a person, how can you be judged by a little doll. Hand over the golden ape at once, and don't stir up unnecessary trouble!" the messenger scolded again.
Nie Chen's eyes flashed, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "If you want the golden ape, yes, I'll send it to him!"
"Yes! Those who know the times are Junjie, and after the little doll gives the golden ape, the prefect will definitely be rewarded. The officer's heart rejoiced.
Lu Tai left, he thought that he had done a bad job, but he didn't expect that Nie Chen would promise to send it to the door in person. This was a real surprise for the officer.
"Lead the way. Nie Chen commanded.
The officer's eyes flashed, and he nodded a few times into the distance, and several palanquin drivers nodded and ran over.
"You carry this little girl and return to the prefect's yamen with me. ”
Those few people dared to say no, and then carried Nie Chen and walked towards the prefect's yamen.
Two quarters of an hour later, the sedan chair landed, and Nie Chen walked out of the sedan chair with the baby and the stone monkey. The sedan chair man bowed to the servant and left quickly with the sedan chair. As for the remuneration, no one dared to mention it.
In this city, it is already a great blessing that these servants have not reached out to ask for money. Who dares to seek his own death, stretching out his hand to demand payment from these servants?
"Come in with me!" commanded the officer, and walked through the door first.
Nie Chen then followed, until he entered the mansion and stretched out, and in a spacious room, he saw the prefect in the mouth of the messenger.
This is a slightly chubby middle-aged man, wearing a pale white robe, which is quite a bit of a scholar. However, there was a hint of ferocity on his face, and his eyes flashed with fierce light, which made people not look good.
Nie Chen glanced at the prefect, and the expression on his face was slightly stunned. This prefect was a mortal, but Nie Chen felt a faint soul fluctuation from his body.
This fluctuation was very weak, and if it weren't for Nie Chen standing in front of him, he wouldn't have been able to detect it at all. But it was this trace that made Nie Chen sure that this was by no means an ordinary prefect.
"Could it be that this is still a powerful monk disguise? If this is the case, then this person's cultivation must be very high, so that he can escape my detection! But how do I feel, it's a bit unlike!" Nie Chen frowned, slightly puzzled in his heart.
"Where are you from?" As Nie Chen observed, the prefect spoke first.
"I'm passing through. Nie Chen replied.
The prefect nodded: "Passing by, where did you come from, the golden ape?"
"Picked it up halfway. ”
"Picked up?" the prefect was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flashed, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Since it was picked up, it would be much easier to do." You give me the golden ape, and I will be rewarded. ”
Nie Chen shook his head: "Although I picked him up, I already treat him as a family member, and I won't give it to others." ”
"You're looking for death!" the prefect exasperated.
Nie Chen chuckled: "What about looking for death! You are a little prefect, you really think that you can cover the sky with one hand." ”
"It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin!" Someone, drag this woman out for me, put her in prison and wait for her to be released!" the prefect ordered angrily.
A few errand servants agreed, and Hula surrounded Nie Chen, and they were about to start grabbing.
Nie Chen snorted lightly, and his cultivation spread out slightly, laying a barrier around him. The servants tried to step forward, but they were blocked by Shengsheng, and they couldn't even touch the corner of Nie Chen's clothes.
"Are you ......" Seeing this, the prefect's face changed, and he hurriedly waved his hand to the officers, "You all go down, don't be rude to the young lady!"
