Wang Xu was standing in the middle of the road at this time, and pedestrians on both sides hurried past him, and the hot breath he exhaled filled the sky.

Occasionally, someone saw the horizontal knife on his waist and dodged and walked over, and there were innocent children looking at him curiously, no matter what, these were all fresh breaths.

Wang Xu turned his head to look, it was pitch black, he stared for a while, then turned around and walked towards the inner city.

Along the way, Wang Xu was thinking about why he didn't absorb the power of existence last time when he got out of weirdness, and why he had it this time.

"Choi so-yi......"

"Red Lantern ......"

The difference between this time and the last time is that he actually met his acquaintance Cui Xiuyi in the weirdness and got a red lantern from his hand.

"Wait, black gas!"

He suddenly remembered the black qi that had broken away from his body under the light of the red lantern.

"After the black qi dissipated, I absorbed the power of existence! And this time the black gas was generated because I came into contact with Cui Xiuyi and the red lantern. Who's the reason......

Wang Xu had always believed that he was essentially a match for demons, so he could obtain the power of existence in them by eating away at demons.

Weirdness is another kind of phenomenon, similar to the rising sun and the setting of the moon, except that the former has an indirect impact on ordinary people, while the latter is obviously more direct.

That's why he can't draw the power of existence from the weird, but ......

Wang Xu sighed and decided not to think about it for the time being, and waited until he had a more obvious understanding of the world before making an analysis.

………………

On the other side, the Yamen of the Governor of Jin Border City.

In the square meeting hall, the four corners are lit with vermilion lanterns, which are embroidered with four big characters of auspicious, auspicious, such as and meaning.

Four thick mahogany trees stand in all directions, supporting the roof of the hall along with sturdy roof beams.

The silver candlesticks, lit with candles, illuminate the entire hall as bright as day.

The white jade tiles on the floor of the hall were polished and translucent, reflecting five figures.

Ren Taizhong, the governor of the Jin border of the imperial court, sat at the head of the hall, dressed in a green jade robe, wearing a black official hat, fiddling with two pieces of jade and white jade in his hands, closing his eyes and contemplating, without saying a word.

Behind it is a huge plaque, on which are written the four characters of loyalty to the country, and there is also a portrait of Wei Zhenzong, the son of today's patriotic emperor, who is really a good courtier.

The Governor of the Li family stood next to him, smiling.

There are two rows of chairs below, vermilion logs, antique, but unfortunately there are no sitting.

In front of the chairs stood three people side by side.

It is the king of Jinbian, the horse, and the head of the three families.

The five people present can be said to represent all the forces of the entire Jinbian, large and small, and determine the direction of Jinbian in the next ten years.

Wang Xu's father, Wang Shidao, was standing on the left at this time.

He was wearing a brocade cotton coat today, simply tied his hair, looked at the front with an expressionless face, and wandered in all directions.

In addition to the sound of burning candles in the entire hall at this moment, only the faint sound of the piano came from outside the palace.

"Ahem......"

I don't know who got up first, and the three people standing below scrambled to cough.

"That's it!"

The governor finally couldn't help it anymore and patted down the chair.

"How long are you going to wait?"

Ren Taizhong inspected the circle, and helplessly found that the four people in the hall were looking at their noses and noses one by one, and regarded them as wind in their ears.

He sighed, "Governor Li, tell me about it." ”

Li Jiaren sighed inwardly, and said with a smile on the surface: "Ladies and gentlemen, that matter was explained by a secret order issued above, and it is difficult to shirk it." ”

"Humph!"

The bald old man standing on the right snorted coldly, although he was old, he still looked full of flesh and was extremely strong, it was Ma Wendao, the head of the Ma family.

"Lord Governor, Lord Governor, don't say that we don't give face to the court, the court has done so many things over the years, when did we contribute money and efforts, and there are still fewer dead!"

"Besides, has the money been so easy to make all these years? This time it's good, this thing happened directly, and we have to do it, we didn't have the court's money. ”

"There is a way to eat the king's Lu and bear the king's worries, but it's not our turn to worry about this matter!"

The Ma family is in charge of the entire Jinbian casino, the green building, the painting boat, and there are countless outlaws who beg for a living, and it is rumored that they have an inextricable relationship with the Ma family in the capital of the north, and they are the most domineering with their attitude.

Ren Taizhong's face trembled, "The head of the Ma family can't say that, but all the people present are David's courtiers and subjects, like a family, and they all rely on the grace of the saint to get to where they are today." ”

As he spoke, he got up and arched his hand in the direction of the south, "Now that the Holy Lord has spoken, can we not accept the order, Master Ma, don't you say?" ”

Marven sneered and didn't answer.

Ren Taizhong is really good-skinned, and his expression remains unchanged, "The master of the Pony family? ”

The head of the Ju family, Ju Shande, had a kind face, "Lord Governor, I can't be the master of this matter, and the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce have to be discussed by all members of the Chamber of Commerce before they can come up with a charter, or will you wait?" ”

Ren Taizhong's face was not very good-looking at this time, "Wang Family Master, you think so too?" ”

"Thanks to someone's great kindness, Wang Anping's family in my clan can't even do the slightest thing of going into the ground for peace now, let alone finding the murderer, what kind of face do I, the head of the family, have."

Wang Shidao's face was suddenly full of grief, and he wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, "Now the clan elders are discussing the matter of the next head of the family, and I can't do this anymore." ”

“……”

No matter how deep Ren Taizhong's city government was, he felt that he couldn't hold it anymore, and he took a deep breath, "Li Dudu! You have to worry about that thing first, remember, you must do your best!! ”

Li Jiaren's face was bitter, his lips moved, and after all, he sighed and arched his hand, "Yes, Lord Governor." ”

"That's it! Now you don't have to worry about the affairs of the imperial court, but what about the affairs of Jinbian? ”

Ren Taizhong tore off the mask of kindness and said coldly: "You don't care about the affairs of Jinbian." ”

He made a round, "Don't forget, this Jinbian is our Jinbian!" ”

"I don't know if the Qinglou arson case and my family's case have been settled a few days ago?"

After Wang Shidao and the three of them looked at each other for a while, he finally stepped forward and asked.

"They haven't been found yet, not only that, but there have been many strange things in the city recently, I have asked the capital government office, and I will send someone over soon, but now I can only wait."

Ren Taizhong suddenly waved his hand with a tired face, "These things have their own officials to worry about, but the imperial court has sent someone over, so we can't say nothing at all." ”

"As long as I can find out which one is the operator, I will give a thousand taels!" Marven gritted his teeth.

"I'll give you a thousand taels too." Wang Shidao's eyes were red.

Ju Shande looked at it and said distressedly: "Then our Ju family will also give a thousand taels." ”

Ren Taizhong took a sip of tea, hiding a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He put the teacup down and sighed, "That's it, the official still has some silver in his hand, so I'll give it too." ”

"One more thing, sir. Some time ago, the Zuo family reported that their young lady was killed, and the suspects have been arrested, this matter? ”

Li Jiaren, who had been silent next to him, suddenly bent down and asked for instructions.

"You mean the young lady from the Zuo family? Later, didn't you say that you saw someone, wouldn't it be nice to release them as soon as possible! ”

Ren Taizhong waved his hand in annoyance, "Okay, you can handle this matter yourself." ”

Li Jiaren smiled bitterly and gave up his orders.

"Could it be that there are demons at work, no, it can't be." Wang Shidao listened to this series of events and couldn't help but be suspicious.

He suddenly thought of his brother's death, his blood-red lips, and his heart was suddenly extremely heavy.
