Volume 1 Chapter 542 Characterize Zou Chang
"Okay, come with me, I'll take you to see something. ”
After saying this, Ren Tianxiang directly bypassed the desk, grabbed Zou Chang's collar, lifted him up, and directly dragged Zou Chang's arm to take him out of the city lord's office.
Although Zou Chang is also an immortal-level monk, after all, he has been dealing with civilian work all year round, and he is far inferior to ordinary immortal-level monks in terms of consciousness and strength. And Ren Tianxiang is the elite of the Dragon Regiment who has only experienced a lot of battles, although the two are both immortal-level, there is still an unbridgeable gap.
Luo Si looked at Ren Tianxiang and dragged Zou Chang with a serious face, and he didn't understand what Ren Tianxiang wanted to do for a while. In order to prevent Ren Tianxiang from doing anything out of the ordinary—such as killing Zou Chang on the spot in a fit of rage—Los decided to follow Ren Tianxiang's side, so that he could have a comforting effect.
Walking out of the City Lord's Mansion, Deng Yuankui and his subordinates were still standing outside the City Lord's Mansion, and when he saw Ren Tianxiang pulling Zou Chang out, he thought that Ren Tianxiang was going to hand over Zou Chang to them.
Deng Yuankui was about to step forward and hand over to Ren Tianxiang, but he was directly crossed by Ren Tianxiang, and at the same time heard Ren Tianxiang's voice coming from behind him:
"Come with me. ”
Deng Yuankui was dumbfounded, he didn't know how Ren Tianxiang had become like this after entering the City Lord's Mansion and coming out.
However, he naturally didn't think that Ren Tianxiang wanted to help Zou Chang escape under their noses.
Who is Ren Tianxiang? He is a person personally sent by His Majesty Xingheng, and it is said that he will also be the future husband of the eldest princess of the Empire, and he is highly valued by His Majesty Xingheng.
No matter how you look at it, such a person is on the same side as His Majesty Xingheng, if he rescues Zou Chang, then his almost smooth sailing future will be in vain.
However, Ren Tianxiang himself said that they should follow, Deng Yuankui didn't think too much, so he brought a few of his cronies to follow Ren Tianxiang, and the rest of the people waited for the commissioners who went to the audit office to arrest people to come back.
Ren Tianxiang walked very fast, completely ignoring whether Zou Chang could keep up with him. He dragged Zou Chang's hand, Zou Chang was a dignified city lord, and he pulled him so that he had to trot up to keep up with his pace.
During this period, Zou Chang was also seen by many people in Linshi City, but now Zou Chang cut corners and embezzled project funds when he presided over the construction of Panshan Road, and many aunts have spread throughout Linshi City.
In fact, at this time, these people were still able to stay calm, and they didn't come up directly to beat Zou Chang, which still made Ren Tianxiang more comfortable.
Walking and walking, Zou Chang probably saw where Ren Tianxiang wanted to take him. Looking at the Xifeng Mountain Range, which was constantly approaching him, Zou Chang quickly took two breaths and asked Ren Tianxiang, "Lord Ren, do you want me to go to the winding mountain road?"
Ren Tianxiang didn't answer him, just walked on his own, but in fact, the direction Ren Tianxiang took had completely proved that Zou Chang's guess was correct.
He just wanted to take Zou Chang to see the current situation on Panshan Road - although the preliminary rescue work had been carried out at this time, there should be many injuries outside the south gate of Linshi City who were being treated by the rescue force, and this was what he wanted Zou Chang to see.
However, in fact, Ren Tianxiang still underestimated the losses caused by this disaster, Ren Tianxiang had only left for less than three hours, and the open space outside the south gate of Linshi City had already been occupied by all kinds of tents, and even more than a hundred and so injured people had begun to be arranged in the square inside the south gate of Linshi City, and more injured people were constantly being transported here.
The entire southern city of Linshi City seems to have entered a state of disaster relief, not only those rescue troops, but even the major chambers of commerce stationed here have also taken out their own materials and invested in disaster relief.
Whether it's medical supplies, food, pure water, or anything else that is urgently needed, these chambers of commerce have been able to come up with them, and they haven't yet asked for compensation from the rescue forces or the officials of Linshi City.
Of course, the strength of these chambers of commerce is still relatively weak, and their materials are limited, so they can only play a temporary emergency role. But now the relief materials in Jincheng should have set off and are being transported from here, and the materials that the imperial court ordered to be mobilized from various provinces are also being transported in a steady stream.
What Ren Tianxiang didn't know was that the Dragon Society also played a very important role in the process of this disaster relief - in addition to urgently sending a large number of rescue troops, the Dragon Society also took out a full five Xuanwu-class space carriers to transport disaster relief materials from the northern provinces of the Star Empire.
And most importantly, the Dragon Club will also participate in the reconstruction and restoration of Panshan Road in Linshicheng in the future, and try to restore the trade capacity of Panshan Road in the shortest possible time.
Of course, this was all after this matter was over, and Ren Tianxiang heard it from Ren Tianqi. And how much the Dragon Society got in this incident Ren Tianxiang didn't care, he just wanted to know how Zou Chang felt after seeing this scene.
Throwing Zou Chang in front of him, Ren Tianxiang kicked Zou Chang casually, and asked sharply: "Zou City Lord, how do you feel when you see this scene?"
"Thoughts?......" Zou Chang tried to get up from the ground, but at this time, he still refused to repent, "Lord Ren, Lord Ren, you don't really think that I caused it, right?"
"Who else could it be if it wasn't you?" Ren Tianxiang raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "If it weren't for you cutting corners when you were building the mountain road, the mountain road wouldn't have collapsed." Zou Chang, because of this incident, thousands of people have been injured and hundreds have died, and this is all because of the time when you built the winding mountain road......
"Hahaha, Ren Tianxiang, are you too naïve!" Zou Chang interrupted Ren Tianxiang's words mercilessly, he laughed, his whole body was trembling, "I calculated back then, as long as someone from the engineering academy set up a magic circle, it would be no problem to maintain it here for at least twenty years!"
And I only need to ask someone from the engineering academy to come and strengthen it when the 20-year period is approaching, and I can continue to maintain it for 20 years.
But Ren Tianxiang, what do you see now? The magic circle is inexplicably broken, which causes the entire winding mountain road to collapse, think about it, is this really my problem? Why don't you want to think about who broke the magic circle in the winding mountain road!"
Looking at Zou Chang's hysterical appearance, Ren Tianxiang was suddenly stunned.
He hadn't thought of this problem before, but now after Zou Chang's reminder, he suddenly realized this problem.
If it is said that the magic circle that fixed the winding mountain road did not collapse at the end of its useful life, then it means that someone broke it. And what Ren Tianxiang knows about what has happened on the winding mountain road these days and has the ability to influence the magic circle on the winding mountain road, there are only two possibilities.
First, it's that Yang Ying. He was an illusion-level monk, and it was easy to destroy a magic circle. But the other party is the shadow guard of His Majesty the Emperor, and everything he does should be the emperor's will. In other words, if the magic circle was really destroyed by Yang Ying, then it could only be the meaning of Xingheng.
Moreover, Ren Tianxiang was prompted by Xingheng before, and Xingheng asked him to wait, which said that Xingheng also knew that the magic circle of Panshan Road could no longer support the pressure of Panshan Road, and would completely collapse in the past few days.
And secondly, in the process of fighting between Los and that saint-level cultivator, it is also possible that the opponent's domain has had an impact on the magic circle of the winding mountain road, which has caused the magic circle of the winding mountain road to gradually exceed the limit of tolerance in the past month, resulting in this disaster.
If it was Ren Tianxiang, he would prefer to believe in the second possibility, so that Zou Chang would also be inseparable from the collapse of Panshan Road. But knowing that Xingheng knew that the winding mountain road would collapse, he did not inform him in advance, which made Ren Tianxiang have a trace of guilt against Xingheng.
However, at this time, Ren Tianxiang will still defend His Majesty Xingheng, and he is also ready to directly characterize this matter and not give Zou Chang any possibility of exoneration.
"When you say that, I remember it. Ren Tianxiang's face didn't show any expression except a sneer, he believed that Zou Chang must not be able to see his thoughts from his face, "Zou Chang, do you know why the magic circle on the winding mountain road collapsed early?"
"You did it, right? You just want to blame me for all this!" At this time, Zou Chang seemed to have gone crazy, except for restraining himself from doing nothing, he had already ignored everything.
"Unfortunately, you guessed wrong. Ren Tianxiang shook his head slowly and said, "According to our investigation, the reason why the magic circle on the winding mountain road collapsed early was because it was affected by the realm developed by a saint-level monk...... Zou Chang, I don't need to say that you already understand, right?"
"Holy ...... Saint-level monk!" Zou Chang suddenly felt as if he was petrified, and he was really familiar with the saint-level monk that Ren Tianxiang was talking about here.
"That's right, it's the boss of the killer organization, even though we don't know his name yet. Ren Tianxiang shrugged his shoulders, pretending to be very helpless, and said, "This matter is actually very simple, it is because the magic circle of the winding mountain road has been used for many years, and some places have been seriously damaged, and that saint-level monk has expanded his domain in this magic circle, which has accelerated the collapse of the magic circle of the winding mountain road.
"Zou Chang, if I'm not mistaken, that saint-level monk should have been sent by you to assassinate Zhang Bantang, right?
"......" Listening to Ren Tianxiang's words as if he had pronounced a sentence, Zou Chang held his head tightly with both hands and squatted down in disbelief.
He didn't speak, but Ren Tianxiang knew that Zou Chang had no reason to argue at this time.
