Chapter 229: Life hangs by a thread
In Wangxian City, there are too many people who have been oppressed by the An clan.
In the past, An's was too arrogant, thinking that he would be foolproof if he had an An family behind him, never leaving room for people to do things, acting arrogantly and domineeringly, doing his own thing, what he wanted, even if many people died, he had to get it, where did he care if others lived or died?
It's not that no one resisted, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs. Those who rebelled against the An clan are either dead or forced to stay away from their homeland, and they dare not come back for the rest of their lives.
An's sins are too deep and he has been grudging for a long time, so when Qingniu came back with Su Yunshan, who was covered in bruises, the papers accusing An's were like snowflakes and piled up on Liu Muxi's desk.
Although Su Yunshan has not done anything angry and resentful on the surface, just because he indulges his wife without a bottom line is enough to make everyone hate him to the core.
As long as he had a little sense of responsibility, didn't indulge his wife so much, and restrained An's behavior a little, the people of Wangxian City would not hate him so much.
Therefore, there are no fewer people accusing him than Ann's.
Originally, the fierce beast Qingniu was a very frightening existence, but when Su Yunshan, who had fainted, was thrown in front of the inn, it won the applause of countless people, and the eyes of everyone looking at it were not just afraid, but a little more gratitude and worship.
Qingniu enjoyed the worship and applause of everyone very much, shook his head up, held his head high, and was majestic, even the injuries on his body seemed to be less painful.
Although Qingniu won the most late victory, it was also a miserable victory, after all, it had just advanced to the late congenital stage, and it was unlikely to be Su Yunshan's opponent.
One of the reasons why Qingniu was able to defeat Su Yunshan was that Su Yunshan saw that it had just been promoted, and he had a trace of contempt in his heart, and he was also worried about his wife who was arrested, and the other reason was that the kind-hearted man (beast) who didn't know Lu Dao helped it, so that it escaped Su Yunshan's fatal attack, and finally won after defeat.
Winning against this annoying human being, Qingniu felt that he had a lot of face, and in this way, his best elixir was also in his hands, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
Su Yunshan was thrown in front of the inn, and someone immediately stepped forward and dragged him in front of Liu Muxi.
When An saw her husband's tragic condition, the last glimmer of hope was shattered, and her face finally showed a look of defeat and despair, which was quite a bit disheartened.
Liu Muxi didn't care about her, but first went to see Su Yunshan's injury, knowing that his injury was not fatal, but it was also very dangerous, after thinking about it, he gave him a little "life and vitality", so that he could retain a trace of vitality, and after the last, he sealed his cultivation, lest he come back to his senses and hurt people.
Rabbits bite when they're in a hurry! Not to mention a late-congenital martial artist, the destructive power is too strong, and Liu Muxi can't take risks.
People are cornered, but they can do anything crazy.
"Xiaoqing, good job!" Liu Muxi praised Qingniu Dao.
She originally thought that Qingniu would not be Su Yunshan's opponent, so she planned to help it, but she didn't expect that Qingniu would actually hold the person, which is really good, and she should give a reward.
"Moo-" Qingniu had already shrunk in size at this time, and when he entered the inn, he heard Liu Muxi's words of praise, and his appearance was really inadequate.
Liu Muxi didn't care either, and lost some "raw anger" to it without a trace, and Qingniu squinted his eyes comfortably.
After that, Liu Muxi asked Qingniu to play by herself, and she still dealt with these papers.
Liu Muxi picked out a few pieces of paper and looked at it, her face suddenly became extremely ugly, and her expression became colder and colder, she still underestimated this An family, and used arrogance and domineering to describe her as lifting her, she was simply crazy.
Behind these papers, there were words of blood and tears, Liu Muxi only looked at a little, and he was filled with righteous indignation, eager to kill An immediately, not to mention those victims.
An's likes luxury, and she also likes all kinds of cherished and beautiful spirit animals, but she is a dime a dime.
Most of the money-making industries in Wangxian City are hers, what inns, restaurants, auction houses, ready-to-wear stores, spirit beast pavilions, spirit grass halls, etc., if you get any treasure from Tianchi Mountain, you must sell it to An's shop, the price must be extremely low, it is not enough to work hard, if you don't want to, then you can't get a penny, and even suffer a beating, even your family can't be spared.
Moreover, she also ordered that her pharmacy was not allowed to sell wound medicine and pills to those people, and it was not allowed for doctors to see those family members who did not obey her orders, resulting in many people dying of illness.
Of course, this is only for the residents of Wangxian City.
For outsiders, An didn't dare to go too far, but the price was still much lower than that of Wangxian City.
Some people are naturally reluctant to sell their hard-won things to Wangxian City, however, everyone who wants to leave Wangxian City must pay a lot of money to go out of the city, unless they have a certificate issued by An's shop to sell spirit beasts or spirit grass, otherwise, they will not let them go.
There was no way, those people didn't dare to offend Wangxian City, let alone the Xuantian Sect behind Wangxian City, so they could only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.
Therefore, Wangxian City is the only city that does not pay money when entering the city, but needs to pay a large fee when leaving the city.
However, even so, because Wangxian City is close to the center of the Tianchi Mountain Range, more and more people are still coming here to try their luck.
After all, there are too many people in this world who are not short of money, as long as they can find a spirit beast that matches their hearts, the cost of leaving the city is not in their eyes.
An's poverty and luxury, not only recruited warriors, built a luxurious palace for her, worked day and night, was not allowed to rest, even couldn't eat, and refused to pay them, even the iron beaten people couldn't stand it, I don't know how many people were forced to die, today's city lord's mansion, but it covers a wide area, magnificent, unspeakable luxury, indescribable wealth, even several of An's sons and daughters, have built no less than An's luxurious mansions, acting quite An arrogant and domineering, lawless style.
In the eyes of An and her children, Wangxian City is their private property, and no matter how they toss, it doesn't matter.
However, they forgot that this Wangxian City was the territory of the Xuantian Sect, and they were only temporarily managing it.
Indeed, if this city lord does a good job, and the younger generations are angry, then it doesn't matter if his descendants continue to be the city lord, therefore, many city lords are passed from father to son, and even do a good job for several generations of city lords.
However, this does not mean that this town is theirs, and Xuantian Sect is not satisfied, so he can still remove them from the position of city lord at any time.
The abnormality of Wangxian City should have been discovered a long time ago, after all, Xuantian Sect would still send people down to inspect, but unfortunately, in the past, there was an family to cover them up, and those people looked at the face of the An family, and turned a blind eye, so Su Yunshan and the An family could continue to control Wangxian City.
Now that the Anjia family has fallen, who else dares to defend them?
It's just that An's still doesn't know how to rein, even if Liu Muxi doesn't intervene, I'm afraid she won't have much time.
Liu Muxi just looked at a few copies of paper, and was trembling with anger, not to mention, there was a thick stack below.
This is the first time that Liu Muxi has wanted to kill someone so much since he practiced martial arts.
No, a person like Ahn is not worthy of being called a human at all.
In addition, there are many people who accuse An's children, and they are really the scum of the family.
By this time, it was already a little dark, but despite this, no one wanted to leave, and even more and more people were even more and more, and almost the entire street was full.
Liu Muxi made people light the candle, and Su Yunshan, who had been unconscious, also woke up, and An had already told him Liu Muxi's true identity, so Su Yunshan was extremely calm at this time, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
"Captain Liu, Captain Hao, you will lead people to arrest Sun Yunshan and several children of the An family, and in addition, put the couple in prison. I will write a letter to the Sect Master and ask the Sect Master to send a new city master to choose, and before the new city master arrives, I will stay in Wangxian City for the time being. Liu Muxi instructed several captains of the city guards.
"Yes, I respect His Holiness Order." Several captains of the guards shouted in response, turned around and were about to leave.
"Stop! You are not allowed to go, you are not allowed to go! As soon as he heard Liu Muxi say that he wanted people to arrest his children, An Shi, who had always been quiet, suddenly stood up excitedly to stop her, and even wanted to rush to Liu Muxi to beat her.
It's a pity that An's cultivation was also sealed, and he was injured again, not even as an ordinary person, and he was quickly stopped and slapped twice.
Those who stayed here were all people who hated An Shi to the core, and naturally they would not show mercy to his subordinates, An Shi's face was almost swollen into a pig's head, but even so, An Shi refused to stop, and shouted heartbreakingly: "If you want revenge, come at me, I will bear the sins I have done, what are you going to do with my children?" I beg you, don't take my children, they are innocent. ”
"Innocent? Are you worthy to say these two words? No kidding. Liu Muxi said coldly.
If they were really innocent, Liu Muxi would not implicate them, but they did no less evil than An's, and they were in the same vein as her, how could Liu Muxi let them go? Motioned for the guards to continue arresting people.
An Shi saw the city guards leaving, her eyes were red, and her anger burned her reason, she turned her head and scolded Liu Muxi angrily: "Slut, you can't die well!" Don't think that if our family is defeated, we can't help you, don't forget, our ancestor is still alive! The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it will be easy to kill you. If you dare to kill my children, I will let you pay for your life, and my ancestor will never let you go...... Uh-huh......"
Before An finished speaking, she was gagged, because the person was so angry that he blocked her nose as well, and An couldn't breathe, and suddenly rolled her eyes.
"Really? Then I'll wait for him to kill me! Liu Muxi said perfunctorily, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, detain both An and Su Yunshan." ”
Several captains did not take everyone away, but left four people for Liu Muxi to summon.
After they escorted Su Yunshan and An Shi down, Liu Muxi stood up and said to everyone: "It's getting late, everyone retreat, and it's not too late to hand over the paper tomorrow." ”
Everyone looked at each other and didn't want to leave, Liu Muxi persuaded again and again, and saw that An's had been locked up, so he reluctantly left.
An's shadow on them is too deep, and if they don't see An's ambush with their own eyes, they can't be completely reassured.
Although this inn is An's industry, but An's was arrested, and the Wu shopkeeper was also caught, there was no one in charge, Liu Muxi promoted another experienced old guy to temporarily act as the shopkeeper, so that the inn would not be chaotic.
The place where Liu Muxi lived was a separate courtyard at the back, and that night, Liu Muxi sorted out some representative papers, and wrote a letter to Su Yan in his own handwriting, telling him the ins and outs of the matter, asking him how to deal with Su Yunshan and the An family, and asking him to send someone to temporarily take over Wangxian City. After writing this, Liu Muxi immediately asked people to send the letter to Tianzong Mountain with the fastest Swift Eagle.
Ordinary swift eagles are already very fast, no less than those spirit birds, but because they are too petite, they can only send letters or some relatively small things, this kind of swift eagle is difficult to advance, but if it is promoted to a congenital spirit bird, the speed is definitely proud, and it can even be compared to the speed of the spirit beast of the congenital great perfection, the swift eagle will set off tonight, early tomorrow morning, at the latest, Su Yan will be able to receive Liu Muxi's letter.
After sending out the letter, Liu Muxi was relieved to meditate and rest.
Time passed quickly.
The next day, the inn was surrounded again, crowded with people, looking more than yesterday, those people had bloodshot eyes, obviously they hadn't slept all night, and many people still held papers in their hands.
Liu Muxi came out to see them again.
The city guards also came to report, and they also sent two maids to take care of Liu Muxi's diet and daily life.
Captain Liu told Liu Muxi about yesterday's situation.
They arrested all the children of the An family, and it was not too much effort to arrest them, because they were so unpopular, the guards around them were still resisting, but after hearing that the city lord and the An family had been arrested, most of those people disarmed and surrendered, joined the team to fight against the An family and their children, and arrested them with their own hands.
Only a small number of people resisted stubbornly and tried their best to protect them, these people were basically brought out by the An family from my family, and they were very good to them, and they were naturally loyal to the Lord.
Unfortunately, their numbers were too small, and they were eventually arrested and locked up in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion.
Hearing this, Liu Muxi nodded and said, "You guys did a good job." I have already reported this matter to the sect master, and presumably there will be news tonight, and when the time comes, the sect master may send a new city lord down. ”
Hearing this, Captain Liu was first overjoyed, and then frowned slightly, and the other people also had a trace of worry on their faces.
Liu Muxi was stunned when he saw this, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" What's the problem? ”
Captain Liu and Captain Hao glanced at each other, and both saw the determination in each other's eyes, they suddenly knelt down and said to Liu Muxi with a hint of determination: "Venerable Qi Gu, we have something to say. ”
Liu Muxi is still using the pseudonym Gu Xi, and seeing them so solemn at this time, he nodded and said, "Okay, you can say it, I'll listen!" ”
"Thank you, Your Holiness! This may be a matter of embarrassment to His Holiness, but we have to say it. Captain Liu and Captain Hao were silent for a moment, and then Captain Liu gritted his teeth and said, "Venerable Gu, we don't want the sect master to appoint the city lord down. ”
"For what?" Liu Muxi asked, "If there is no city lord, it is equivalent to a group of dragons without a leader, wouldn't this Wangxian City be chaotic?" ”
"Venerable, actually, we know that our demands are excessive, but we have our own city lords who we want to support. Twenty years ago, we were not like this at all in Wangxian City. Captain Hao said excitedly and angrily.
Captain Hao looks like he is only in his thirties, but he is a mid-congenital martial artist, in fact, his real age is already in his sixties, twenty years ago, he was a city guard, and Su Yunshan was twenty years ago when he became the city lord of Wangxian City.
In that case, where did the former city lord of Wangxian City go?
Liu Muxi suddenly guessed what he wanted to say.
Sure enough, she listened to Captain Hao continue: "In the past, when Su Yunshan and An Shi didn't come, our Wangxian City was definitely a peaceful, peaceful but not lacking passion city, the old city lord was tolerant, he liked to do everything personally, approachable, everyone liked him and loved him. If a fierce beast came down and wreaked havoc, he always rushed to the front, so he didn't know how many injuries he suffered. We have never seen such a good city lord, and we even hope that the old city lord can continue to do it. ”
At this point, his tiger eyes were already full of tears.
"But we didn't expect that overnight, this Wangxian City would change the sky. Su Yunshan parachuted into the city lord of Wangxian City, and since he came, everything has changed. If that's the case, that's fine, but Su Yunshan also made a plan, imprisoned the old city lord, gave him the medicine to seal his cultivation, and put the old city lord's family under house arrest, forcing us city guards to do things for them. If we didn't listen, they tortured the old lord and even threatened us with our family. We had some scruples and did not dare to resist him at all. ”
Captain Liu was also in tears, and said: "In order to calm our hearts, at the beginning, Su Yunshan would let us meet the old city lord, but later the opportunity to meet him became less and less, and now, we haven't seen the old city lord for nearly three years." Many people say that the old city lord has been killed by Su Yunshan, but we don't believe that the old city lord must be alive and well, and he will definitely not be willing to leave behind these people who love him. In our hearts, only the old city lord is the city lord we recognize, and we are not satisfied with the others, so we implore His Holiness, if the old city lord is fortunate enough to return it, then ask the old city lord to be our city lord, right? Please. ”
Captain Liu and Captain Hao began to kowtow to Liu Muxi, not only them, but some other city guards, as well as many people outside, began to kneel down and said in unison: "Please agree to our request!" ”
Liu Muxi was a little embarrassed, after all, this was Xuantian Sect's business, and it was not easy for her to go over Su Yan to take care of it, after all, strictly speaking, she had no right to meddle in Xuantian Sect's affairs.
However, seeing that these people did not achieve their goals and vowed not to give up, Liu Muxi was not easy to refuse, and after the last day, Liu Muxi still decided to use the word "drag", and when Su Yan's letter arrived, everything would be easy.
So, she said, "Everyone, hurry up." This matter is very important, I can't be the master, it's useless for you to beg me, everything depends on the will of the sect master. However, before the suzerain's order is issued, we can first find the old city lord and rescue the old city lord and his family, only when the old city lord's physical cultivation is good, the sect master can let him continue to be the city lord of Wangxian City, don't you say? ”
After everyone listened, they began to hesitate.
The old city lord has been imprisoned for so long, no one dares to say that he is not injured at all, not to mention, Su Yunshan and An are both ruthless people, and they will definitely not treat the old city lord well. And the guards who had seen the old city lord, thinking of the old city lord's current tragic situation, couldn't help but reddened their eyes, and felt related.
"Venerable Gu is right, the top priority is that we must find out the old city lord first, otherwise everything will not be discussed." Captain Liu suddenly said, "Venerable Gu, we know that there are several places in the Dao that were used to detain the old city lord, but last night, we went to look for it, but we didn't find anyone. Therefore, I also ask Venerable Gu to allow us to go to see Su Yunshan, so that we can inquire about the whereabouts of the old city lord. ”
Liu Muxi nodded and said, "Yes, but you have to be measured, don't let him die." ”
"Yes, thank you Venerable Gu." Captain Liu, Captain Hao and others all stood up, and everyone else also stood up one after another.
Liu Muxi saw that they were leaving, and said: "My medical skills are not bad, although they are not as good as the sect master's wife, but they are not much worse, if you believe me, if you find the old city lord, you can send it directly to me." ”
Captain Liu and Captain Hao were stunned for a moment, then bowed down and said, "Of course we believe in Venerable, if it wasn't for His Holiness giving us medicine yesterday, our bodies wouldn't have gotten better so quickly!" ”
Liu Muxi nodded, and then these people left.
Liu Muxi said to the people who still refused to leave: "In the past two days, I will have a free clinic in Wangxian City, if you have any discomfort, you can also come to me." ”
Everyone looked at each other, some of them couldn't believe that such a good thing would befall them.
After Liu Muxi's words fell, he was silent, which made Liu Muxi almost think that he had said the wrong thing.
It wasn't until the first person stepped forward that the crowd began to stir up.
Since yesterday, the heavy emotions such as anger, anxiety, and despair that have been hanging over everyone's heads have suddenly dissipated a lot, and they are no longer so dull and painful, but a little more lively, and it seems that even the spirit is a little different.
Originally, there were still people who were skeptical, or didn't believe in Liu Muxi's medical skills, but after Liu Muxi cured or relieved the pain of several people on the spot, those people finally believed in Liu Muxi, and they all lined up with excitement and hope on their faces.
Liu Muxi was busy until the evening, and it wasn't until the lights were turned on that those people reluctantly left.
After Liu Muxi had eaten, Su Yan's letter finally arrived.
Su Yan was also very angry about this matter, Su Yunshan and An Clan, including their children, were all sentenced to death, and he had already sent someone to temporarily take the position of the city lord of Wangxian City, in addition, there were two people from the torture hall to follow. Before they arrived, they could let Su Yunshan and An's family parade to show the public, and how to deal with it could follow Liu Muxi's wishes, in short, they would not let Su Yunshan and them have a good time.
The property of the City Lord's Mansion, except for the funds left for normal operation, all the family wealth was distributed to the people of Wangxian City.
The An family of Tianzong Mountain was also angry by Su Yan because of this incident, and was completely removed from Tianzong Mountain, and in his lifetime, he was not allowed to step into Tianzong Mountain, and the exile that should be exiled, and the punishment that should be punished, was not tolerated at all. Even those who wanted to wait for Su Yan to dissipate their anger and plead for them did not dare to speak.
Originally, the An family wanted to make a comeback, at least not to leave Tianzong Mountain, but now, their plans have all come to naught, knowing that the culprit of the family is the An family, the An family is eager to break the An family's corpse into thousands of pieces.
Liu Muxi was barely satisfied with this disposition, but to Liu Muxi's surprise, the person sent by Su Yan to temporarily take the position of the city lord of Wangxian City turned out to be the former right protector Yue Ge.
Yue Ge was demoted, and it was related to Liu Muxi, but Su Yan just wanted to hone and hone him, and now, he had also advanced to the late congenital stage, and Su Yan sent him to Wangxian City, which was often infested with fierce beasts.
After waiting for two years, Yue Ge got the experience, and the city lord of Wangxian City was also selected, killing two birds with one stone.
Liu Muxi thought about it and understood Su Yan's intentions, and naturally had no objection to his decision.
If the old city lord of Wangxian City was still alive, then he could use the two years of cultivation to cultivate, and when Yue Ge returned to Tianzong Mountain, it would be perfect for him to take over the position of city lord.
Liu Muxi is very satisfied with this.
After reading the letter, Liu Muxi was about to rest after washing, when he heard a rush of footsteps outside, as well as Captain Liu's rough and eager voice.
"Venerable Gu, Venerable Gu, hurry up and save the old city lord! The old city lord is dying. ”
Hearing the voice, Liu Muxi walked out of the room, just in time to see Captain Liu walking into the courtyard with a man with gray and unkempt hair and covered in blood, followed by Captain Hao and others.
"Don't worry, put the person on the couch first, as long as he still has breath, I can save him." Liu Muxi's voice carried a strong sense of confidence, which immediately calmed the flustered mood of Captain Liu and the others.
"Yes!" Captain Liu gently placed the old city lord on the couch outside.
Liu Muxi immediately stepped forward to check the old city lord's injuries.
The old city lord had wrinkles on them, his eye sockets were deep, his whole body was skinny, as if there was only a handful of bones left, his breath was almost inaudible, and a smell of decay came to his face, if he didn't look carefully, it was as if he was already seeing a corpse, and there was obviously not much life, Liu Muxi saw this, and his heart suddenly chuckled.
She reached out to probe his pulse, and her heart grew heavier.
"Venerable Gu, the old city lord, he ...... What the hell is going on? Captain Liu suppressed his grief and asked in a choked voice.
Liu Muxi's expression was extremely solemn, and even when she was seeing Pang Qian in Tuocheng, her mood was not so heavy.
Liu Muxi sighed lightly and said, "I don't want to lie to you, the old city lord's condition is really not optimistic." He was so badly wounded and starved for so long that he was almost cut off, and I couldn't guarantee that I would be able to save him, so I had to try my best. ”
