In the city lord's mansion, the city lord Fang set up a banquet for Mu Bai in the mansion, and the city lord handed Mu Bai the tender things and said: "This is bean paste, all black beans, soybeans and white beans, mud beans, peas, mung beans and the like, can be used." Method: Water immersion and crushing, filtering and slag, frying, and collecting it in a kettle with salt marinade or mountain leaves (alum leaves) or sour pulp and vinegar lake. It is a famous dish that can only be eaten in the capital of Qi State, and there is a cook in my house who has been a cook in Qi State, so he has learned a little about the preparation of soybean paste, you can taste it. Mu Bai gently scooped up a piece with a spoon and put it in his mouth, as if a clear spring flowed into his lips, and couldn't help exclaiming: "It's really a delicacy in the world!"

City Lord Fang smiled: "I was also very surprised when I tasted the bean paste for the first time, but this bean paste is not easy to preserve, otherwise I will definitely give some to Mr. Mu." Mu Bai waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary, I grew up in a fishing village and didn't care much about food." There is another matter to ask the city lord, and the innkeeper asks you to release him. City Lord Fang looked at Mu Bai in surprise and said, "That innkeeper made perjury and tried to slander you at that time. ”

Mu Bai turned his head to the City Lord Fang and asked, "In that case, on one side is the powerful Liu Gongzi, and on the other side is a passerby with no background, if it were you, how would you choose?" I... Mu Bai smiled: "If City Lord Fang doesn't know my identity, it will probably be the same as the innkeeper's choice." The fault is not him, but Liu Gongzi, he just chose to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages. The innkeeper beat him as a punishment for making a wrong choice, and then let him go," Fang City Lord said after hearing this: "Fang Lin is willing to get rid of the Liu family for Mr. Mu, so that there will be less tragedies like this when leaving the city." ”

Mu Bai looked at the city lord with a smile and asked, "What is the power of the Liu family in leaving the city, and who is the Liu family?" Fang Cheng said: "There are three major forces in the city, namely Liu Guan and Zhang, and Liu Gongzi's name is Liu Jingshan is the youngest son of the head of the Liu family. ”

"Liu Guanzhang, is the ancestor surnamed Liu selling straw shoes, is the ancestor surnamed Guan selling dates, is the ancestor surnamed Zhang selling pork?"

"Do you know their ancestors?, aren't you from this world?" asked Mu Bai, touching his head.

"I don't know, but I just can't help but want to ask, you ask. The terminal system said eagerly.

Mu Bai leaned towards the Fang City Lord and asked, "What does the Fang City Lord do at the end of Liu Guan and Zhang Zushang?" The Fang City Lord groaned, "Uh... I don't know this very well, but the Zhang family is a local force that left the city, and Liu Guan heard that it was moved in. However, they are now the three major local forces. ”

Mu Bai dug out another spoonful of bean paste and put it in his mouth, and said, "What kind of force is the city lord of Fang himself?" The city lord of Fang bowed in the direction of the imperial capital of Yu State: "I am naturally a person from the imperial court of Yu State, and the emperor sent me to leave the city, I will be brave for Yu State, and I will not give up." ”

Mu Bai said again: "The Liu family is powerful, just relying on the Fang City Lord and a small academy disciple of mine, I'm afraid it won't be enough to fight against the Liu family." Fang City Lord's eyes lit up slightly and said: "I have always been good friends with the Zhang family, and the Zhang family will also help me fight against the Liu family at that time, Mr. Mu should not underestimate himself, just by virtue of Mr. Mu's identity as a disciple of the academy, it is enough to deter the Liu family." Just like the Liu family before, with the Buddhist background of the White Lotus Temple, let us cast rat traps everywhere. With Mr. today's help, the White Lotus Temple will have a lot less restraint on us. ”

Mu Bai smiled slightly and said, "You and the Zhang family have long wanted to deal with the Liu family, and now they plan to pull me into your chariot." City Lord Fang's face changed and said, "I just want to leave the city with less tragedy." Mu Bai picked up the folding fan and said, "I don't care about this, I just ask you, what to do with that Liu Gongzi." City Lord Fang said honestly: "I will be released after a few days, the Liu family is powerful, and I can't move him now." Mu Bai put away the folding fan and said, "Okay, I'll help you deal with the Liu family." ”

After the feast, the city lord returned to the study and ordered: "Find a death row prisoner in the prison to replace the innkeeper, and give the innkeeper a sum of money to let him leave the city." Zhang Bang Anmin said that the innkeeper had already subdued the law for killing Xiao Er, and suppressed the matter of Xiao Er, and he couldn't let the people who left the city know that it was a demon, and he was recently made panicked by demons in the city, and he couldn't go on any longer. In addition, bring the general who handed over the officers and soldiers to the Liu family privately. ”

After a while, the group pressed up a soldier who was trapped in a zongzi, Fang Lin retreated, untied the rope of the general Han and said: "After this matter, the Liu family should believe you, and I will demote you to the Shunzi camp later, Kong Sanqian of the Shunzi camp does not belong to Liu Guanzhang or me in the city, and I will take the opportunity to transfer Kong Sanqian's cronies away in a month, and you take the opportunity to control the Shunzi camp by taking advantage of the power of the Liu family." The military man knelt down and said, "Subordinate Leng Yanghui listens to the order!"

Fang Lin picked up the whip and said, "You bear with it, it's best for me to keep you from getting out of bed for ten days and half a month." Leng Yanghui knelt down expressionlessly and said, "Please give the city lord a whip!" Fang Lin picked up the whip and whipped Leng Yanghui fiercely for dozens of whips, and then shouted: "Come on! Beat me again! If you can't move this fight, you will be thrown to the Shunzi battalion as a captain." ”

A group of people came in and dragged Leng Yanghui, who was covered with whip marks, out, and there was a sound of whips from outside the house, until Leng Yanghui passed out, and the people of the City Lord's Mansion threw Leng Yanghui, who was unconscious, behind the Shunzi camp and walked away.

After Mu Bai returned to the room, Cao Tieyi knocked on the door of Mu Bai's room, and Mu Bai took the lead in asking: "Are you here to ask me about the three forces that left the city? This time I am afraid that I will bring trouble to you by dealing with the Liu family." Cao Tieyi was stunned for a moment and said: "Soldiers regard obedience as their duty, and when they came, His Majesty the Third Prince explained that Mr. Mu was the head of the horse along the way. ”

Mu Bai obviously didn't expect Cao Tieyi to answer like this, and sighed: "It seems that I am too worried, Senior Brother Mu treats me sincerely." Cao Tieyi said with an admiring look: "His Majesty the Third Prince has always treated people with sincerity, and everyone in the Yu Kingdom admires His Majesty's mind and personality of the Third Prince. Mu Bai then asked: "Does Senior Brother Mu have any forces to rely on in Licheng?" Cao Tieyi said with a smile: "In the territory of Yu, the name of His Majesty the Third Prince is enough to deter others, as long as it is not such a thing as running away from marriage." Mu Bai touched his nose and said, "There will be no such thing as escaping marriage this time, I will bring that kid from the Liu family to justice." ”

Cao Tieyi handed over a file to Mu Bai and said: "This is the file of this demon incident in the city, there are fifty-four deaths in a month, and the number of deaths is slowly increasing recently, and the distribution of the dead is not regular, and most of the corpses are dead from being drained of blood all over the body. The file with the details was seized by the White Lotus Temple, and Mr. Mu needed to go and check it in person as a disciple of the academy. Mu Bai took the file, took a cursory look at it a few times and asked, "Why did the White Lotus Temple seize the file, can I get it when I go?" Cao Tieyi said: "When it comes to the cultivation realm, it has always been dominated by people in the cultivation realm, and among the people in the cultivation realm, the three families of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are the leaders. ”
