The anger in An Zheng's heart has reached the extreme, tens of thousands of people in this vicinity were starved to death, obviously there is some sinister plan. The people of Daxi have always lived a prosperous life, even if there is a natural disaster in the local area, with the efficiency of the Daxi government, the disaster relief materials can be delivered to the local area soon, how can people starve to death?

Daxi's teleportation circle is very densely built, and it is basically available in any larger city. Whether it is from other places or directly from the Holy Court's household department, it will not take a long time.

Before An Zheng came, he asked for a map of Daxi from the branch of Toru Tai, which was quite detailed. It would be nice if it was with the Seal of the Heavens, and the map in the Seal of the Heavens is more detailed. An Zheng unfolded the map, looked at it, and found that about 600 miles further there was a very large city, called Angu City.

An Zheng then remembered that he still knew a little about An Gucheng. When I was handling a case, I had contact with Zhou Shen, the city lord of Angu City, and the relationship was not bad.

The official system of Daxi is different from that of ordinary countries, the city lord is equivalent to the prefect of Yan State, the jurisdiction of the small city lord is about a few hundred li, and the jurisdiction of the large city lord is about a few thousand li. These lords were all from the great local families and powers, and were appointed by the Holy Court.

Although the strength of the Zhou family in the local area is not a monopoly, because there are people in the Zhou family who are officials in the Holy Court, this city lord naturally cannot fall into other families. An old man of the Zhou family works in the Star Eye Division of the Holy Court, and he is a very famous soothsayer in Daxi.

Although An Zheng had never believed in the stars, Holy Emperor Chen Wunuo was quite concerned about this aspect. Therefore, although the people of the Star Eye Division do not have any real power, they have a very high status. This old man of the Zhou family has been in the Star Eyes Division for seventy years, and he can say a few words in front of the Holy Emperor Chen Wunuo.

Zhou Shen is very righteous, this is An Zheng's original judgment. At the beginning, the case was handled by a person from the Zhou family, and if Zhou Shen didn't help, it would be really a bit troublesome. But after Zhou Shen was sure that the evidence of An Zheng was conclusive, he killed his relatives and personally arrested people and sent them to An Zheng.

Anzheng Ancient City had a long talk with Zhou Shen all night before, knowing that it was a person with ideals and ambitions, and the biggest ideal was to govern Angu City into a perfect place where the road was not left behind and the night was not closed. Zhou Shen said several times that he wanted to make Angu City not have any evil things. Ordinary people can live as they want without worrying about being violated.

It was difficult, but Zhou Shen did a good job. At the beginning, in order to protect the interests of ordinary people, he also dared to face each other with several other big families in Angucheng, and fought a few battles. So in Angu City, in fact, Zhou Shen's popularity at the family level is not good. The people love him, but even the people within the Zhou family have a lot of criticism about him.

After all, if the person of a family becomes the city lord, if the family does not get more benefits from it, then the city lord will of course suffer some rejection.

But fortunately, Zhou Shen will not be caught, and the old man of the Star Eye Division has been exceptionally good to Zhou Shen since he was a child, and the people of the Zhou family can't shake Zhou Shen's status as the city lord.

Since this is what happened in the ancient city of An, it is naturally easier to check it if Zhou Shen is there. An Zheng calculated that the time of death of these people was within a few hundred years, possibly within a few decades, and the last time he came was thirty years ago. I hadn't been here at that time, and I don't know if it had already happened.

But An Zheng believed in his eyesight to see people, and he knew that Zhou Shen would definitely investigate once he knew that such a thing had happened. Zhou Shen didn't mention it, indicating that this incident should have happened before he became the city lord, and he didn't know about it. Now it's time to find out who the previous city lord of Angu City was.

An Zheng straightened out his thoughts and immediately set off, with his speed, the distance of six hundred miles was nothing. Go all out, you won't need An Zheng for a day to be outside the ancient city of An.

There is little difference from when it was thirty years ago, and the ancient city of Angu still looks in order. The number of defenders at the gates of the city was small, and that was a kind of self-confidence. Because the security of Angu City has always been very good, the people will not make trouble casually.

As for those people from big families, everyone knows Zhou Shen's temper, what to do against him if they have nothing to do, it is better to make a fortune honestly.

Although the number of soldiers guarding the city gate is small, all of them are extremely strong men. They could tell at a glance that An Zheng had come from afar, even if An Zheng's clothes didn't even have a little dust.

"Stop. ”

A soldier led by a soldier came over to stop An Zheng: "May I ask where you are from, what are you doing in Angu City, when will you leave?"

An Zheng thought about it, and for the time being, he didn't have to disclose his identity as the protector of Yan Guo, but fortunately, he was prepared. He took out a name card and handed it to the soldier: "I am the shopkeeper of the Yanguo branch in Qingzhai, and I went back to the Daxi head office to report on my work. ”

His name card really can't be true, it was originally given to him by Toru Tai himself. Although Qingzhai is not much of a force in Daxi, after all, hundreds of branches are open, and his reputation is still not small.

The soldier looked at it for a while, naturally he couldn't see any flaws, and after asking clearly, he let him go.

An Zheng walked in and stopped again, turned back to the soldier and asked, "May I ask if the city lord is in the city recently?" ”

The soldier replied, "The lord of the city has not left the ancient city of Angu for thirty years, and it seems that you have not returned for a while. ”

An Zheng knew that the soldier was still tempting, so he smiled and replied: "It's the first time I've come to Angu City, and I followed my family to the north and south when I was a few years old. ”

The soldier smiled: "Your line of work is also hard, but you can really make money." ”

An Zheng: "You have good eyesight, you can come to Qingzhai when you turn around." ”

The soldier smiled even brighter: "Don't make trouble, we people just watch a lot of people every day, it's okay to see people, and it's pure laymen to see things." If you are not afraid that we will smash all the business of Qingzhai, our brothers will go to you to make a fortune. ”

An Zheng laughed and said goodbye with his fists clenched.

After entering the city gate, An Zheng deliberately did not walk very quickly. There seemed to be no change in the city, but An Zheng had a faint uncomfortable feeling in his heart. A city that hasn't changed for decades may not necessarily be a good thing.

Walking along the street, An Zheng naturally remembered where the City Lord's Mansion was, but he still pretended to ask someone. He always felt that there was someone behind him, wandering in the dark.

Outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, An Zheng found that there had been some changes here. Thirty years ago, when An Zheng came, there were still a few guards guarding the outside of the city lord's mansion, but now there is no one, and the gate is open and undefended.

An Zheng stepped into the door, and an old man who was cleaning at the door glanced back at him and said lightly: "If you have anything to see the city lord, please write it down in the book at the door to make an appointment, the city lord is too busy." The affairs between the people and the people are written in the notebook on the left. The affairs between the people and the family are written in the middle notebook. The affairs between the people and the court are written in the book on the far right. ”

After saying that, he continued to sweep the floor with his head down.

An Zheng handed over the name post: "I am sorry for you to report, I am sent by the proprietor of Qingzhai, and I am very anxious to see the city lord if I have something important." ”

There is also a Qing Zhai in the ancient city of An, so the old man did not suspect anything. He stood up straight and glanced at An Zheng, and then was slightly stunned: "You look at you, I really want to see it somewhere...... Oh, it should be him. But it's been thirty years, how old are you, how can it be him. Besides, he's dead. ”

An Zheng's heart was shocked!

This old man saw himself 30 years ago?! He is an investigator and is used to remembering the people he has seen, but compared with the old man's memory, he is really ashamed of himself. Thirty years later, he can still remember the eyes. An Zheng thought about it carefully, and looking at the old man's appearance, he had a vague impression, as if he had been working in this gatehouse thirty years ago.

At that time, Zhou Shen had just become the city lord, and there were not many people around him. After all, there were not even a few people from the Zhou family who were willing to do things with him, and it was the old man of the Zhou family from the Star Eyes Division who sent some people to assist him, and the City Lord's Mansion was running smoothly. This old man may be one of the people sent by the old man of the Zhou family back then.

The old man shook his head and sighed as he left, obviously feeling pity that the other party was fighting for death.

An Zheng looked around, and there was basically no change in the City Lord's Mansion. It's still simple, but it's clean. There are no precious flowers and trees planted in it, they are all very common varieties, but they are well cared for. Zhou Shen is the kind of person who doesn't luxury, doesn't waste and doesn't enjoy, the whole person is a little rigid, but not rigid.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the old man walked back tremblingly: "You go in from here, follow the path on the left until you reach the city lord's study at the end, he is meeting guests, please wait outside for a while." ”

An Zheng hugged his fists in thanks, and then walked forward.

The old man glanced back at An Zheng and said to himself, "What a strange young man." ”

An Zheng walked along the path, and after passing through the courtyard, he arrived outside Zhou Shen's study. Someone could be vaguely heard talking inside, and An Zheng stood outside and waited.

There are a few trees planted at the door, like mountain peaches. I don't know why, when I saw the peach tree, An Zheng couldn't help but think of the Feng Xiuyang who exchanged his life for the life of the peach tree.

The people in the house didn't speak loudly, and An Zheng didn't want to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, so he stood a little farther away and looked at the flowers and plants in the small courtyard.

Not long after, there was a quarrel in the house, and the noise became louder and louder. An Zheng subconsciously looked back and happened to see a young woman slamming the door out. The woman looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, maybe she was really older, but she looked like she had a youthful aura all over her body.

Some female cultivators who have cultivated to be powerful can still maintain the appearance of a young person at a very old age, but they definitely do not have this youthful aura. It's just that he looks young on the outside, but he can betray his true age with just one look.

The girl was obviously angry, and her face was a little pale. She glanced at An Zheng, pouted slightly, and then ran away with a pout, with a burst of fragrant wind.

She has a good figure, although she is not a peerless woman, but her appearance is also first-class. When I run, my chest rises and falls slightly.

"It's not a good thing to come to see him!"

The girl scolded An Zheng, and then ran out quickly. When she glared at An Zheng, she was full of disgust.

An Zheng was a little stunned, and said in his heart what this meant.

The sound of footsteps came, and Zhou Shen walked out slowly from inside, standing at the door and sighing. He glanced at An Zheng and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, that's my daughter, who has been spoiled since she was a child." You're a fasting person, what are you looking for me?"

Daughter?

An Zheng was slightly stunned, thirty years have passed, and a lot of changes have taken place. However, I have never heard that Zhou Shen has a wife. At the beginning, he said that for the sake of the people of Angucheng, he would never marry a wife in his life.

Maybe it's An Zheng's habit of always looking at people, so at this moment, he saw Zhou Shen's eyes flickering a little.
