The atmosphere in Zhai Tianlin's mansion was extremely tense, and just now there was a secret envoy who announced that the armies of foreign countries had been secretly assembled in the northwest area, and if they broke through the border defense, they would be able to reach Kyoto immediately. Then these states and counties in your middle are useless, the middle states and counties are all old, weak, sick and disabled, thieves can't be caught, and they can't resist the army of nomads. That shallow wolf also seemed to have quickened its movements, constantly causing trouble, leaving important clues in the Wujinfangzi area three days ago. I don't know if it was intentional, or if the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry. Anyway, his appearance is not only a crisis in Jincheng, but also an unimaginable harm in the future.

The low-pressure atmosphere before the war infected everyone here, and the case in front of Zhai Tianlin was full of stacks of cases, almost all of which were about the shallow wolf. Flipping through a few pieces of wooden tablets casually, Zhai Tianlin smiled bitterly and shook his head, the information in this is almost no nutrition except for knowing that the shallow wolf comes from the iron wolf group and can sense the way of enlightenment.

"A bunch of waste, rice buckets. After staring at it for so long, I didn't even get the most basic information..."The more Zhai Tianlin thought about it, the more angry he became, he waved his hand violently, and pushed those cases under the table with a snapping and crisp sound. Several civil officials looked up when they heard the voice, and they were suddenly silent, and they didn't dare to breathe. In the hall, it seemed that the sound of the heart pounding could be heard.

"Lord Qiyu, Governor Zhou's Mansion has arrived. I don't know how long it took, Zhai Tianlin straightened down with a tired face, put the wolf in his hand on the pen stand, as if he wanted to get up, and the guards waiting on the side saw this, hurriedly walked to the front, and whispered.

"See you then. Zhai Tianlin walked slowly to the meeting room, as if there was a flame burning in his heart. Since he intervened in the defense of Jincheng, that shallow wolf seemed to be deliberately against him, and he repeatedly set an example. The previous case almost took his head on someone's neck, if it weren't for Grandpa Zhai's efforts to protect it in front of the queen mother, he would have a few more heads, and it would not be enough to cut off.

It was a contradiction between people who seemed to be very ordinary, but I didn't expect it to become confusing in the end. Zhai Tianlin re-examined the counties under his jurisdiction, and only then did he feel the seriousness of the situation.

The cause of the incident is probably that several foreign businessmen and local trading houses have caused a dispute due to unfair competition in the sale and purchase. Then the locals found a big brother with an underworld background to come forward to make a scene, but he didn't want to be stabbed to death by a foreigner. The yamen had always been merciless in dealing with these people, and soon caught these foreign merchants and threw them into prison. And found a bamboo slip printed with "secret", and a gold-lacquered wooden box, inside which was a golden knife, but engraved with the hand seal of Emperor Dahong.

Although the characters engraved on the bamboo slips have nothing to do with the Jincheng Jikuo, the golden knife is definitely the emperor's object. Since Zhai Tianlin moved into Jincheng, almost all the major and minor affairs of the Yamen have been decided by him, and such a major case naturally has to be reported to him as soon as possible. After getting the news, Zhai Tianlin immediately instructed Governor Zhou to enter Beijing to meet the prince of Futai, and he didn't dare to rush to Kyoto overnight to discuss countermeasures with Zhai Gonggong.

Sure enough, the emperor was furious and ordered the officials to investigate the matter strictly. This holy decree, which should have been earth-shattering, had not yet had time to leave the palace gate. The news reached Grandpa Zhai's ears. He hurried to the Empress Dowager's Mansion and begged her to persuade the Emperor to open up.

After all, Grandpa Zhai is a popular person next to Empress Dowager Huang, and under his protection, Zhai Tianlin finally escaped with his life.

As soon as Zhai Tianlin entered the living room, Zhou Mu's prefect hurriedly greeted him, bowed and said, "Say hello to Lord Zhai, the officials are polite." Although it is a simple officialdom cliché, Zhou Mu still speaks with emotion.

This is an old fox, quietly hiding himself deeply. Zhai Tianlin said secretly in his heart. He didn't have much contact with local officials in Jincheng, and some things were conveyed by his subordinates. It's this Zhou Mu, he's only seen it less than three times in total. only to find that this person is thoughtful and smooth. The same thing, at different times, will have different ways to deal with it.

Zhai Tianlin waved his hand, signaling that Zhou Mu did not have to be polite. Please sit down and talk.

A child has already brewed a pot of hot tea and served it, and the curling aroma of tea fills the air and wafts into the nose, mellow and faint and a little tempting.

"Lord Zhai, after several investigations and sorting, Xia Guan has obtained some information about the light wolf. I don't know if to talk about it or not. Although there is not much difference between the two of them in the same rank, because they are Zhai's father-in-law's cronies and hold military power, Zhou Mu obviously surrendered his identity one by one. Zhai Tianlin didn't know if he really couldn't hear it or deliberately, anyway, he looked very enjoyable and picked up the teacup and just touched his lips, hurriedly put it down, waved his hand and said: "It's about the shallow wolf, the above has always been evasive, why don't we go inside and talk about it." ”

Zhou Mu followed Zhai Tianlin into a closed room at the back. It was dark, except for a copper oil lamp with a dim glow hanging in the corner. Illuminating the range of only a few feet, it is also depressing to feel the low ceiling all around, and anyone who is a little taller can probably hit his head. Zhou Mu sat on the ground, Zhai Tianlin sat down cross-legged with a taller body, and his gloomy eyes looked down at Zhou Mu silently. As if to see something in his eyes?

According to the analysis of the clues obtained by the informant, the shallow wolf could never be alone, at least five people formed a team, and the division of labor was relatively clear, and they responded to each other. ”

Zhou Mu's expression was already calm and cold, and his eyebrows were silent when he talked.

Zhai Tianlin raised his eyebrows and nodded silently, so far he hadn't even seen the shadow of a light wolf. Such an analysis is not unreasonable, but it is of little significance. These barbarians from the Outer Wilderness may organize several large-scale murders, and there must be killers, eyeliners, and even tools such as fleeing wagons.

"Maybe the whole team is called a shallow wolf, or maybe one person is a shallow wolf, but it doesn't matter. Zhou Mu watched the flames in Zhai Tianlin's eyes jump, swallowed his saliva, and continued: "Their main purpose is to steal the machine map of Jincheng. If the goal is achieved, it is necessary to retreat from the whole body, and it is impossible to cause unnecessary trouble. ”

"I suspect that someone has leaked secrets, maybe among the locals in Jincheng, there are also shallow wolves. Zhai Tianlin said slowly: "If that's the case, it's very tricky." We have to find a way to get these people out as quickly as possible. ”

"Lord Luo doesn't know how the investigation is, I heard that the light wolf is not an ordinary person. Zhou Mu said quietly, looking at Zhai Tianlin's eyes, there was a slight change in an instant, as if he was stunned and surprised.

Zhai Tianlin was not surprised that Luo Mo did not tell him the news of the shallow wolf, he knew that this person didn't like him from the end of the day, but he had to work together because of the above arrangement. However, since the shallow wolf is not an ordinary person, it is possible that he has the talent of enlightenment. Thinking of this, a cold chill seeped into his back, making Zhai Tianlin feel cold from the inside out.

As if to prove his thoughts, Zhou Mu continued: "There are at least two masters in the organization of the shallow wolf, whose talents are different from ordinary people, and it is likely that through their own understanding, they can feel the power of the surrounding souls. ”

"That is not only a master of enlightenment, but also able to feel the excellent realm, including all the power of life and nature. "When Zhai Tianlin was in the hutongs of the market in his early years, he also thought about having peerless martial arts and becoming famous in a fight. And deliberately went thousands of miles to learn art, but the talent was too poor, and after studying for a few months, he couldn't even master the most basic "Kukai". Although his comprehension is not high, this Zhai Tianlin's memory is definitely amazing, and he still vividly remembers the things that his master has handed over for decades. And I was lucky enough to meet the real entrants.

"It's like a god. At that time, the little guy who was holding the flag in the planetarium couldn't help but sigh, and the blood in his heart was boiling like a flame.

At that time, the little guy was not surnamed Zhai.

"Do you remember the night of the Moon Garden a few years ago? The once-in-a-century Eye of the Sky has reappeared in the world, attracting countless masters of enlightenment: but human perception is limited after all, and perception will naturally be much duller. The birds and beasts that hide in the shadows are particularly sensitive to these things. The magic of the Eye of the Sky is in the fact that it can involve the activities of all species, and even the most stupid person will sharpen his understanding at this time. Perception is able to perceive anything powerful in the world and manifest it clearly through the potential of the body. ”

"That's also a terrible power. The depths of Zhai Tianlin's eyes were as deep as bottomless dry wells, and he couldn't see any expression.

"In another netherworld in that valley, someone is said to have heard the furious howl of the Nether Wolf. ”

"It must be the inexhaustible power of the Eye of the Sky that provokes the bloodthirsty nature of the Nether Wolf. Maybe not a good sign. "Zhai Tianlin knew that Wushi did not specifically refer to human beings. Everything is vast, and some animals can also gain endless power through their perception of nature. Once the murderous nature erupts, humanity may face another catastrophe.

"So the light wolf must have felt the power of the eye of the firmament, and if he could find the person who had the eye of the firmament, he might be able to lure the light wolf out. Zhou Mu's expression was not calm, the dim light jumped in his eyes, like a twinkling starlight, and said meaningfully: "The prince of the evil mansion is rumored to have fallen into the mountains that night. After coming back, some mysterious souls were not guarded, and I don't know if it has something to do with the Eye of the Firmament. ”

When he walked out of the secret room, Zhou Mu stretched his waist and took a long breath of air wrapped in the fragrance of flowers and plants. In the back garden of the government office, two secret orders were signed.

The first secret order: It is strictly forbidden for people of all colors to enter and leave the city gate without permission.

The second secret order: all personnel who do not have Jincheng household registration, regardless of any official or private business, as long as there is no official certificate, will be brought to the yamen for strict supervision.

... Out of nowhere, the young man who walked out of the slanting sun squinted at the back wall of the mansion with gold edges in front of him, shining with a faint glow. The twilight reflected half of his face, warm and firm.

At noon two days ago, Evil Xiaoqi got bad news.

Qiushui Pavilion was raided by the government, and girls without local household registration were all taken to the yamen for questioning.

Xiaoyang was not a local in his early years, and this time he was inevitably brought in.

Evil Xiaoqi found Xu Li as soon as possible.

Xu Li said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid I'm going to let Evil Shaobai go." ”

He immediately told Evil Xiaoqi that as long as they were outsiders who entered the government, they were not allowed to have any contact with the outside world. No one will be allowed to bail out, and anyone who dares to disobey will be punished according to the law.

The setting sun stretched the slightly thin figure of Evil Xiaoqi, and cast it on the blue tile wall to form a lonely silhouette. The towering trees that shade most of the scales and tiles of the fish's spine make a swishing sound, and the thick branches of the trees resemble coiled dragons.

The evil little seven stood up straight, and the thoughts in his heart became clearer.

I'm going to rob the prison.
