Old Xue's hand pulling the tea suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed slightly, and he turned his head and asked, "But what?"

Cong Rong waved his left hand lightly, magnifying Mu Yang's perspective, and he could clearly see that he was already standing in front of the gate of the imperial city, Cong Rong explained: "But this matter, I also think it's quite strange, as far as Mu Yang is currently listening, I feel that this matter is strange, it doesn't seem to be as simple as it seems." ”

Lao Xue glanced at Muyang's condition, Muyang said, it seems that his spirit is not bad, so Lao Xue is relieved, he gently put the teacup on the table, "It's okay, it's not simple, just right, give this kid experience." ”

"By the way, Second Elder, how is the situation of this inspection?"

Speaking of this, Lao Xue was angry, shook his hand and threw a notebook on the table, trembling with anger: "Bad, too bad! Look at these, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it, except for a few more regular, other cities, basically there are no honest, oppressing the people, looting the people's fat and ointment, everything abounds, especially when I went to Qinzhou City to deal with the aftermath, seeing that scene, it is unimaginable, groups of women walked out of the city, and saw their haggard appearance, you know me." ......”

Lao Xue was emotional, and he couldn't talk about it on impulse, but he tied the damn Chen Qing and the so-called tax collection guards to the city gate, and all those who had grievances against him would go up and vent fiercely, and by the time Lao Xue came back, Chen Qing, who had been abolished and cultivated, had already lost his breath and was beaten to death by people.

"I still have a few cities that I haven't checked, so I'm really angry, so I'll come back and rest first, and then I'll continue to go out tomorrow. ”

Cong Rong stood behind and thumped Lao Xue's back, and said seriously: "Why don't I help you go tomorrow, anyway, it's quite boring to stay here these days, my eyes are about to look at flowers, so you can watch here for two days?"

Lao Xue raised his hand and said with a serious face: "No, I have to deal with this matter personally, if I don't deal with these beasts, I feel uneasy." ”

Cong Rong sighed helplessly, she could only obey Lao Xue's wishes, but she really looked like she was going out to let off steam, and it was too boring to watch here.

......

On the other side, Muyang is already in front of the city gate, to be honest, this imperial city looks a little ordinary, whether it is scale or decoration, it can't even compare to the inner city of Qinzhou City, this is still the imperial city of a country.

But it is also understandable, after all, this is only a small border country, and the natural conditions are too poor, and it is not easy to give birth to a country.

Mu Yang pinched his waist with both hands, carried a bamboo basket on his back, swaggered to the door, and according to the custom, he was still stopped by two soldiers guarding the city, "The imperial city is temporarily closed, and you are not allowed to enter or exit." ”

"Why?"

The soldier yelled impatiently: "Why do you ask so much, in short, you are not allowed to enter, go back." ”

Muyang can also understand that they may have to say this to many people all day long and persuade many people to return, but ...... Can you have a better attitude, it's not Lao Tzu who provokes you, you come up with a temper and rush like this, who do you look down on?

Mu Yang sneered and said to the guard: "You listen to me, if you don't let me in now, you will regret it later, and it will be too late for you to cry and beg me." ”

"Hey, who are you scaring about? Do you think Lao Tzu was scared? Today, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu come, I won't allow you to go in!"

Mu Yang gave him a thumbs up and praised: "Okay! It's very good to have this courage, it's a good material to guard the door, but sometimes you have to have some eyesight, okay, I don't care about you, you are also performing your own official duties, but I advise you, be good-tempered, be sincere to people, and explain patiently? It's not easy for everyone, isn't it, I don't know your rules, you don't know my identity, the so-called ignorant is not to blame, you and I each take a step, let me in." ”

Clang!

The two guards crossed the spears in their hands, blocking Muyang's way, "You say let me, if I let you in, I'll have to lose my head today." ”

Mu Yang grabbed his head, a little speechless, how can he say it, he can't say it, he has to show his identity, "That's okay, don't let me in, you can always help me report it, tell your head, just say that the envoy of Falling Moon Valley is here, open the door for me." ”

Hearing the three words of Falling Moon Valley, the two guards were obviously stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and both saw the look of shock in each other's eyes.

One of them tentatively asked, "Well, what credentials do you have to prove your identity?"

Mu Yang patted his waist and gently lifted his clothes, revealing the identity jade plate inside, although it was only a small gap, but it was enough for them to see clearly.

The two guards hurriedly half-knelt on the ground, beads of sweat the size of beans had already appeared on their foreheads, and they didn't even dare to look at Mu Yang anymore with their heads down, which formed a great contrast with the attitude just now, "Big ...... Adult, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, I offended the adult just now, and please don't be surprised, I'll open the city gate. ”

Mu Yang put his hands behind his back and sighed slightly: "Alas, I told you a long time ago, you have to be crazy, you say this, but what about it, I think that you are loyal to the city, and those who don't know are not to blame, so I won't worry about you, I want to meet your emperor and open the door." ”

The two hurriedly opened the door and knelt to welcome Muyang into the city, and one of the soldiers followed Muyang directly into the door, "My lord, I'll show you the way." ”

"Hmm. ”

When he came into the city, Muyang found that the street was still quite prosperous, with people coming and going, all kinds of shops, and there were still relatively fireworks, and at first glance people were not greatly affected.

But if you take a closer look at some of the stalls, you will find that there are basically no poultry sellers.

Mu Yang asked, "How many thefts have happened here?"

The guard bent down and said while leading the way: "Plus what happened yesterday, there have been almost a dozen, the scale is not large for the time being, and the location is not regular, and we haven't found out a clue yet, I hope that the envoy will come this time to help us solve this problem!"

"Hmm. ”

Mu Yang didn't give him a positive answer, after all, this matter still sounds a little mysterious, there is no clue, and Mu Yang doesn't dare to say big things.

In case of collapse, it will be the face of Falling Moon Valley.

After a while, the two walked to the gate of the palace, which looked quite magnificent, with red walls and gold tiles, and a noble scene.

But it always makes people feel that there is a lack of aura, and to put it bluntly, it is a bit earthy.

"Your Excellency, this is the Imperial Palace, and Your Majesty is waiting for you inside. ”
