Just after the spring equinox, there were a few light rains in the city of Qingzhou, dripping on the bluestone pavement along the street, but there was a different artistic conception. In some market places, in addition to the things of the mountains, green tea that has just sprouted buds also began to appear.

Qingzhou City Mountain is precipitous, there are a lot of hundred-year-old trees on the cliffs of these mountains, drink the morning dew, enjoy the sun and the moon, so the cloud tea that grows out, brew with the well water of the two dragon springs in the city, there is a fragrance in it.

At this time, tea farmers carrying bamboo lou on their backs come to Qingzhou City, either selling to tea shops, or selling along the street, or bargaining with people at the market. This is a good tea in season, ten catties of tea out of eight taels, and only at the spring equinox can you have the opportunity to taste it. Moreover, the price of this new tea is expensive, even the tea farmers themselves are reluctant to drink it, but they just take it to Qingzhou City to exchange for some daily things such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

In the city of Qingzhou City, there are several attics, which look like they have about six floors. In the middle of the city, there are no small merchants and vendors around, and even the pedestrians passing by here are far away, not daring to look directly here. The high courtyard wall blocked the view of the people, and there were four hunters standing at the gate, leaning on the stone lion and constantly looking at the passers-by, and the trapping knife hanging from their waists would suddenly be pulled out at some point. The four words of Qingzhou Mansion hanging on the door are enough to deter some timid people.

In a courtyard in the Qingzhou Mansion, only a few people are waiting here. The spring rain brings a slight chill, but it is very cold here. Holding silk scarves over their mouths and noses, these hunters stood in the distance without saying a word, waiting for the person in front of them to speak.

Outside the window, the spring rain dripped down the eaves and splashed on the stones. The middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes took a pot of spring rain from the stagnant water under the eaves and boiled it in the small red clay furnace next to it. When it was steaming hot, he threw down half a tael of the newly picked cloud tea, poured himself a full cup alone, and then looked at everyone with satisfaction.

This person's name is Xun Chen, the governor of Qingzhou City. Hundreds of his subordinates were at his disposal, and they won the trust of the state guard. This person is resolute and ruthless, and he is known as the living king of Hades in Qingzhou City.

If he goes to a restaurant to eat, he doesn't have to chase people from the restaurant, and the diners have to run away. The martial arts cultivators of Qingzhou City respected him very much, after all, he was a cultivator of the synaesthesia realm, and it was said that he was only a piece of paper away from the realm of gathering spirits. With his martial arts cultivation, he can definitely rank in the top three in Qingzhou City. After all, in such a remote state city, a cultivator in the synaesthesia realm can already be regarded as half a small sect.

At this moment, he sat on the wooden chair, lifted the tea lid and drank tea, looked at the waiter in front of him and asked, "A few days have passed, but what progress has there been?"

The hunters present glanced at each other, but no one dared to answer. Xun Chen doesn't like to listen to nonsense, and of course he doesn't like pale explanations.

"The spring test of Bailu Academy will be held soon, if the murderer can't be found, the scholars in Qingzhou City will spread the word, and people from other states will laugh at Qingzhou City as a barbaric place. In the outer street of Baiyun Temple before, I almost let the gangsters succeed, and now I haven't talked about your dereliction of duty. After that, the Meng Mansion was broken into in the middle of the night, and the masters of the Connectivity Realm did not leave uninvited guests. finally stopped for a few days, and found the body on the stage of Chunmanyuan, and it is estimated that the murderer has also escaped. It's only been a few months, and so many things have happened in Qingzhou City, you don't care, but the state guard is very concerned. Xun Chen blew the hot air in the cup and said unhurriedly.

At this time, one of the several hunters stood up, saluted with both hands and said: "If you go back to your lordship, I will inspect and visit, and I asked this person who was a guy from the Dongfu Dart Bureau before, and they are called Scarface Lao Wu." However, he had colluded with bandits when he was walking darts before, and he had been removed from the Dongfu Dart Bureau, and he never thought that he would run to Qingzhou City and be killed. I asked the beggar who found the body at that time, and he had never seen anyone come to the Spring Garden. Other than that, there is no more information. ”

If Qin Chuan was here, he must have an impression of this person. In the middle of the downtown that day, it was this person who killed someone with a crossbow arrow on his back, climbed over the courtyard wall, and disappeared into Qingzhou City.

Xun Chen nodded, put down the teacup in his hand and exclaimed, "Good job." Zheng Hu, I didn't misread you. Now that the spring test of Bailu Academy is about to be held, some strangers in the city are gradually increasing during these days, and even a lot of people from other states have come. If you catch the murderer, I will reward you with a hundred taels of silver. ”

When Zheng Hu heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and thanked Xun Chen and retreated to his original place. For the hunting in Qingzhou City, although looking at the scenery, it is actually a chore, and the monthly money is not much, but the filial piety of some small merchants and hawkers is more considerable. Hearing that the governor of the hunt said that he would reward a hundred taels of silver, several hunters next to him were also secretly calculating.

Xun Chen got up and walked towards the front, several hunters followed sideways and didn't dare to speak, all bowed and waited.

Xun Chen lifted the white cloth, looked at the tragic situation of the scar-faced old five, but he didn't care, staring at the half of the wooden stick in his heart and thinking about something. Suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled out half of the wooden stick from the scar-faced old five's body, but he didn't see blood coming out, but after the wooden stick was pulled out, it became the previous charred shape again, and it was held in Xun Chen's hand, but some dust fell.

Looking at the stick carefully, Xun Chen seemed to be wondering why such a soft texture could penetrate Scarface's body, seeing that there was no sharp thing in front of the stick, but now it was killing Scarface's fifth. Xun Chen suddenly crushed the stick, and the residue flew around, and several hunters who covered their mouths and noses hurriedly covered it, forgetting the stench of the corpse for a while.

Returning to the seat, Xun Chen grabbed another handful of tea leaves and soaked it, ignoring the fact that his hand had touched the dead man just now: "I said why this simple stick can kill a bandit in the martial arts rivers and lakes, it turns out that the other party is a strong man in the synaesthesia realm, but the residual heaven and earth aura is very weak, it should be because he has just advanced." It seems that your silver is a hundred taels, which is not so easy to earn, and it is very likely to take your life. ”

Zheng Hu was the first to say: "My lord, please rest assured. Qingzhou City hunting is to eliminate violence and peace. Now that the spring test of Bailu Academy is imminent, we must return a peaceful environment to the students. ”

Seeing this, several other hunters also responded loudly: "Not bad." As a hunter, in order to catch the murderer, we must die without giving up. Please rest assured, my lord and the state guard, we will arrest this person as soon as possible. ”

Xun Chen saw that the teapot was steaming again, waved his hand and signaled everyone to retreat, and he was the only one in the entire morgue drinking hot tea in a daze.

In a wing room in Qingzhou City, several men gathered together, without speaking to each other, as if waiting for something.

Suddenly, the inside of the room was opened, and a small servant came out and said, "I just came from the government that the dead man has a scar on his face, if I guessed correctly, it should be the fifth scar-faced." ”。

The man in the middle sneered: "I didn't expect those two people to still have some kung fu, and even the scar-faced old five were killed." Before leaving Qingzhou City, you have to seek justice for the scar-faced old five. ”

The rest of the people all got up and saluted the man in the middle: "Yes, boss!"
