The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man who looks quite honest and honest at a glance, before Wang Mang came in, he kept his head down and read a book on the desk, even if Wang Mang arrived at the counter, he did not move at all, until Wang Mang stretched out five fingers.

"Where's the distinguished guest?" the shopkeeper said lightly, looking up.

"Buy rice. Wang Mang said.

"There is no rice to buy in the shop, so you can ask elsewhere. The shopkeeper said with a serious face.

"If you don't have rice, then buy noodles. Wang Mang said lightly.

The shopkeeper's expression changed, and he looked at Wang Mang with some surprise, and then said to the clerk who was cleaning on the side: "Niu Er, go to the back and ask your sister-in-law what she eats at noon." ”

"Yes. Niu Er, who was cleaning, turned around and went to the back.

The shopkeeper watched Niu Er leave completely, and then said to Wang Mang: "The Heavenly King covers the tiger!"

"Pagoda Town River Demon!" Wang Mang wanted to laugh a little, this was a code he made up himself, and it was always a little strange to say it now.

The code was right, and the shopkeeper's expression did not change in the slightest, but he bowed slightly and said: "Niu Gen has seen a distinguished guest, I don't know what your guest is doing here, what do you need me to do?"

"Just ask about the situation in the city. Wang Mang said: "You people were sent here many years ago, and I didn't give you any tasks in the first place, so many years have passed, and I didn't think about using you, but the grassland has changed too much recently, and the imperial court is a little worried, so I asked you to pay attention to the movements on the grassland, especially the Divine City, as for the others, there is nothing you need to do." ”

Niu Gen slowly took out a book from the chest of drawers under him, handed it to Wang Mang, and said, "This grassland anecdote is some of my essays on my life in the grassland over the years, and I gave it to your guests." ”

Wang Mang noticed that this book was the book that Niu Gen was reading when he came in, and couldn't help but be surprised: "You just put such an important thing on the case?"

"The most dangerous place is the safest place, where it's hard to notice when it's dark, and it's easy to destroy if something really happens. Niu Gen said.

Wang Mang nodded, took the book, flipped through it at random, and found that Niu Gen knew a lot of information about the grassland, especially the Divine City, although it did not involve the internal affairs of the temple, but some recent changes in the Divine City were clearly recorded, Wang Mang read it and said to Niu Gen: "I will return it to you, you can record it in more detail, take a chance to send it back, I also understand the situation here, it is really monotonous and boring, if you want to go back, go back." ”

"Thank you. Niu Gen took the book back with the same expression.

"Official, who is coming, actually asking Niu Er to ask me what I am eating at noon, is there a distinguished guest coming?

At this moment, a woman's voice came from behind, and a woman with a little frost on her face but a good foundation turned in from behind, followed by Niu Er with a cramped and nervous face, this woman was stunned when she saw Wang Mang, and then smiled: "Who is this distinguished guest?"

"We don't have anything here, I'm instructing him where to buy. Niu Gen's pupils shrank, and then he said casually: "Let Niu Er ask you, it's just that I'm inexplicably a little happy today and want to drink two cups, so I want to ask you if you might prepare two more good dishes." ”

"I see. The woman said, "I just don't know if you want to eat steamed buns or dumplings?"

As soon as the woman's voice fell, Niu Gen's face changed greatly, Niu Er almost did not hesitate to pull the woman up and dragged her back, as for Niu Gen, he stood in front of the woman and looked at Wang Mang with a vigilant face.

Wang Mang's expression did not change in the slightest, he looked at Niu Gen's position, and saw very clearly that this position was not for protection, but to hold the woman behind him hostage at any time, Wang Mang said lightly: "Why?"

"What, why?" Niu Gen asked rhetorically.

"Why betray?" Wang Mang said.

"What betrayal? What are you talking about, I don't understand. Niu Gen pointed to the door and said, "You don't have what you want here, you go out quickly, otherwise I will call the Templar Knight." ”

"Call the Templar?" Wang Mang said with a smile, "You shout and try?"

"Good...... You wait. Niu Gen didn't expect that Wang Mang didn't care about him calling people at all, when he shouted, but his small shop had already been closed by Wang Mang when Wang Mang came in, and unless his cultivation could reach the realm of transforming gods, his voice would not be able to come out at all.

After shouting for a while, Niu Gen had already reacted that he should have been manipulated here, and he couldn't help but turn pale, and as soon as he turned around, he grabbed the woman, took out a knife and put it on the woman's neck, looked at Wang Mang and said, "If you don't go out, I will kill her." ”

"Who is she?" Wang Mang said.

"My wife. Niu Gen said.

"You threaten me with your wife's life?" Wang Mang looked at Niu Gen like a fool.

"This lord, you don't care about me, Niu Gen, this bastard has betrayed the court, he deserves to die!" The woman shouted: "The little woman's name is Jin Lian, she was originally the daughter of a merchant in Cloud City, and General Meng Tian valued it and followed Niu Gen to the Divine City, so many years, this bastard has long forgotten the favor of the imperial court, he not only betrayed the imperial court, but also wanted to use the adult's head to make a name to gain the trust of the temple, the adult just killed him, Jin Lian would never want to be a traitor even if he died." ”

Wang Mang looked at the pale cow root and said, "Is what she said true?"

"Really, and what's fake?" Niu Gen said.

"It's still that question, why betrayal?" Wang Mang said: "The court put you here, it is to attach importance to you, usually don't ask much about it just to protect you, but your merits are always remembered by the court, with your qualifications in the Divine City for so many years, if you go back, you can immediately enjoy the treatment that the imperial court has a general title, if you don't want to go back, although this small shop is not big, it is enough for you to live and work here in peace and contentment, I don't understand why you want to betray?"

Niu Gen shouted: "When I left from Cloud City, I only had a few thousand taels of silver from the imperial court as start-up capital, but now I don't want to say anything else, but this small shop is worth millions of silver, can the court want to take this store back with a word? It's almost the same reason to deceive a three-year-old, and the purpose of your coming here is nothing more than to close the store, when I don't know?"

"Is this your reasoning? Do you think the imperial court will lack you as a shop?" Wang Mang said.

"Isn't there a shortage?" Niu Gen said: "The Qin State is a notoriously poor country among the nations, and the annual treasury is only a few million silver, and my small shop can catch up with the income of the Qin State for several months, is it not enough for the court to do something to me?"

"Do you think the imperial court is short of money?" Wang Mang said.

"Of course. Niu Gen said: "It is well known that Wang Mang, the emperor of Qin, went to Shangyuan Palace to ask for a woman for a mere 200,000 taels of silver, but for only 200,000 taels of silver, he wanted to take off the emperor's head, is this not enough to prove that the court is poor?

Wang Mang looked at Niu Gen deeply, he didn't expect that this man who looked particularly honest and honest was actually a money-dropping man, in his eyes, there was no so-called idea of dedication to the country at all, some were just money, and the reason he gave was also ridiculous, the court was poor and had no money, and this idea was because he Wang Mang went to Shangyuan Palace to pass the three levels for 200,000 taels of silver, what is this going on?

Wang Mang waved his hand, and the knife in Niu Gen's hand exploded directly in the air and turned into dust, as for Niu Gen and Niu Er, they were directly suppressed by a powerful breath and knelt on the ground, Jin Lian was startled when she saw Niu Gen being suppressed on the ground, looked at Wang Mang and said: "My lord, you can't give him a good time, in the end, he has also contributed to the court over the years, so don't torture him." ”

"Slut!" Niu Gen looked at Jin Lian coldly, if it weren't for this damn woman, how could he fall into the hands of the people sent by the court so easily, but his news should have been sent, the Templar Knight would appear soon, and then he Niu Gen would completely break away from the Qin State, and this shop would inevitably become his own, and there would be no further trouble.

"The news has come out?" Wang Mang suddenly looked at Niu Er and asked, when Niu Er was sent to the backyard by Niu Gen, Wang Mang didn't feel anything, and now thinking back to the scene at that time, it seems that Niu Gen and Niu Er both had some strange expressions at that time.

Niu Er didn't expect Wang Mang to ask him suddenly, he knelt on the ground with a trembling face, and didn't dare to say a word, how could he dare to admit that he had activated the mechanism in the backyard and passed on the news that there was something unusual in this store.

"It looks like it's getting out. Wang Mang said by himself, and then pointed at Niu Eryi's finger casually, a sword qi came out from his fingertips, directly through Niu Er's forehead, Niu Gen's head was pierced by sword qi in the middle, and then fell directly to the ground without a sound, he fell to the position of Niu Gen, a pair of dead eyes stared at Niu Gen, Niu Gen only felt a chill in his heart, looked at Wang Mang trembling and said: "You dare to kill people in the Divine City?"

"Why don't you dare?" Wang Mang said: "Since you dare to betray the imperial court, haven't you ever thought that you would die if something happened?"

"But this is the city of God, this is the closest place to the temple, and it is also the closest place to God, everything in this city is under the gaze of God, everyone is God's people, and no one can kill God's people without God's permission. Niu Gen hurriedly said: "If you kill people in the city of God, you will kill the people of God, and you will be spurned by God, and God will find out and be punished with death." ”

"God?" Wang Mang looked at Niu Gen with a stunned expression, and suddenly said, "You won't stay in the Divine City for a long time and believe in the god of the grassland, right?"

"Why don't you believe it?" Niu Gen looked at Wang Mang and said: "The power of the god of the grassland covers the earth, under the embrace of the god of the grassland, all believers will get eternal life, even if they don't get eternal life, they will have the opportunity to become the messenger of God in the world and enjoy the glory and wealth of a lifetime, which is better than me working hard for the court and being a precarious secret agent!"

Wang Mang looked at the pious cow root with a face full of piousness, and finally understood how this product was betrayed, he was too lazy to ask why he betrayed, he had already got the answer at the moment, he didn't expect the temple's brainwashing ability to be so strong, this fang city has actually been cut by the temple, but all the people in this fang market have been brainwashed by the temple's propaganda, Wang Mang even thought of the shopkeeper he saw when he first entered the fang market, I don't know if that one is a believer in God now?

The City of God, the City of God, the City of God, the City of God, the City of God's devout believers, lives up to its name!

Wang Mang casually killed the cow root, then looked at Jin Lian and said, "What do you think?"

"He's all dead, what's the point of me living. Jin Lian looked at Niu Gen's silent corpse lying on the ground, and said: "The two of us set out from Cloud City back then, and suffered all the way to the Divine City, living a precarious life, because we were worried that one day we would be sent by the imperial court to do a mission and not be able to come back, so we didn't even have children for so many years, and the elders in the family thought that we were dead, so it can be said that we are careless in this world, but we have no ideas." ”

Jin Lian slowly approached Niu Gen, and suddenly her expression changed, Wang Mang hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said, "What did you do?"

"As a secret spy, in order to prevent the leakage of identity information after being arrested because he couldn't bear the torture, he hid poison in his mouth, Niu Gen has long forgotten it, but I have always remembered it. Jin Lian said lightly: "My lord, the deed of this shop is hidden in the pages of the book that Niu Gen usually turns, and this small shop can be opened thanks to the capital of the thousands of silver given by the imperial court at that time, and now it will be returned to the imperial court, as for me, I don't have any requirements, but I just hope that if you have the opportunity to go back to Cloudsdale City, you can bring back the ashes of my husband and wife. ”

Wang Mang looked at Jin Lian, didn't speak or nodded, he already knew that when Jin Lian finished speaking, his life would come to an end, he didn't expect Jin Lian to hide poison in his mouth, but he didn't notice it for a while, but he let this woman commit suicide, and when he found out, all the internal organs in this woman's body had been completely corroded by the strong poison, and she was not alive at all.

With a wave of his hand, a piece of fire flew over the corpses of Niu Gen and Jin Lian, and the two instantly turned into ashes, Wang Mang grabbed a bottle from the cabinet in the store, and then the bottle sucked on the ground, and all the ashes went into the bottle, Wang Mang said at this time: "The fallen leaves return to the roots, I promised you!"

Put away the bottle, Wang Mang stepped out of the store, the market outside is already full of Templars at the moment, all the shops are closed, outside this shop, a team of dozens of Templars are surrounding in front of the store, the knight's spear is held high, aimed at the main entrance of the store, when Wang Mang walked out, the leading knight said to the people around: "But this person?"

"That's him. ”

Wang Mang raised his eyes, but saw that the person who identified him was none other than the shopkeeper who was particularly enthusiastic about talking to him when he first came to Fang City.

"Stranger, someone has reported that you are plotting against the Divine City, come with us now!" said the Templar Knight, pointing a gun at Wang Mang. Take a hundred plating and read the latest chapter of "Rebirth of the Best Emperor Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
