As if sensing Zhou Yu's gaze for help, the white-haired old man slowly raised his head to look at Zhou Zheng, and then continued to close his eyes and bow his head, as if he didn't mean to help Zhou Yu.

Zhou Zheng had noticed the white-haired old man earlier, although the white-haired old man did not say a word until the day of arrival, but because he could not see through the old man's cultivation, he always had a trace of defense against it, he was not afraid of Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu could only rely on his official position to suppress himself, but the difference between Zhou Yu and himself in strength was more than a notch, and it was precisely because he was afraid of the white-haired old man, so Zhou Zheng always led Zhou Yu not to send it.

And the white-haired old man glanced at him plainly, but Zhou Zheng was in a cold sweat behind his back, it was an indescribable palpitation, he didn't expect that the white-haired old man who had always made him dare not underestimate him was better than he imagined, just such a glance, it also made Zhou Zheng feel that the strength of the white-haired old man seemed to be stronger than Uncle Hei, at least when he saw Uncle Hei for the first time, Zhou Zheng did not have such heart palpitations.

The coercion released by the white-haired old man was from the inside out, and the power was extremely well controlled, he was only ordered to protect Zhou Yu's safety, and he didn't really want to participate in these officialdom struggles, so Zhou Yu's request for help was just to deter Zhou Yu.

But this shock made Zhou Zheng like a great enemy, his voice stopped abruptly, and the words he was about to say were stuck in his throat without saying it, and the hall fell silent again, and everyone was surprised, not knowing why.

Fu Lei's right eye was narrow, his soul was already in the middle of the Yuan Spirit Realm, it could be said that he was the only one in the hall except for Zhou Zheng who felt the coercion of the white-haired old man, although he found that the white-haired old man was different as soon as he entered the hall, but he didn't expect the white-haired old man's strength to be stronger than he imagined.

"Shizi, why should you be angry because of my words, doesn't it seem that Shizi is too small-bellied, I just said my personal thoughts, and Shizi doesn't need to be angry, if you offend, Fu Lei will apologize again. ”

Feeling the embarrassment of Zhou Zheng, Fu Lei interjected again at the critical moment and gave Zhou Yu a step, he knew that people like Zhou Yu would inevitably go down the steps with their temperament when they encountered such a situation, and they would not hesitate at all.

Listening to Fu Lei's words, the white-haired old man looked up at Fu Lei again in surprise, Fu Lei's words can be regarded as leaky, not ordinary fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys can say it, but after staring at Fu Lei's left eye, he bowed his head again and was silent.

Surprisingly, Zhou Yu did not answer the words of Fu Lei and Zhou Zheng, and at first he saw the white-haired old man just looking up and then bowing his head again, which made Zhou Yu feel a sense of despair at that time, but then when Zhou Zheng's voice stopped abruptly, Zhou Yu saw many fine beads of sweat on Zhou Zheng's forehead, and knew that the white-haired old man had already made a move in silence.

"Zhou Yu, you come to me as the inspector of Yunzhou City, the city lord is naturally duty-bound to actively cooperate, but if you want to make some trumped-up charges out of nothing, the city lord is naturally not a weak person who is easy to bully. ”

Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't answer the words of the two, Zhou Zai spoke in a deep voice again, and after a short period of thought, he also understood that the white-haired old man didn't want to expose himself, so he just exerted coercion and deterrence on him, which made Zhou Zai understand in his heart that as long as the quarrel between the two was at the right scale, the white-haired old man would not get involved.

Not only did Zhou Zheng understand this, but Zhou Li, who had been in the officialdom for a long time, also understood this after a little thought, so that the cruel words he was about to say were stuck in his throat and finally swallowed.

"Hmph, I have come to represent the imperial court to inspect the officials of various cities, how can I frame you in vain? Since this inspector naturally has a basis for opening his mouth, you don't let me find more strong evidence, otherwise this inspector will never allow you. ”

Losers don't lose battles, Zhou Yu shot back sharply, his tone was unwilling, he originally thought that he would win nine out of ten in this attack, but he never wanted to jump out of a Fu Lei, and always spoke out in time when Zhou Zheng couldn't parry, so that Zhou Zheng withstood the pressure of public opinion.

Most of the people in the hall are the elders of the same clan, but when they heard Zhou Yu's words, they took a long breath, knowing that Zhou Yu was relieved, which meant that today's nominal Fufu inspection was finally coming to an end, although everyone did not say a few words, the whole process was only a bystander, but the whole process of the patriarchs can only be described as fearful.

"The two of you are angry, Lord City Lord, you see that it is not too early at this time, why don't you stop here today and discuss it another day?"

Seeing that the two of them didn't make a move, Fu Jingming spoke cautiously, first looked at the city lord Zhou Zheng and then at the prince Zhou Yu, and saw that the two only stayed in a verbal dispute, Fu Jingming let out a long breath, after all, this is Fu Fu, if you really start to do it, Fu Fu doesn't know how many more ruins and broken walls will be.

"Well, it's really not early today, Zhou Yu, the city lord doesn't want to tell you more about right and wrong, next time if there is no evidence and nothing out of nothing, don't blame the city lord for being polite. ”

"Hmph, this matter is suspended, if I find out that you have dereliction of duty and failed to fulfill your responsibilities as a city lord, this inspector will definitely report it and remove you from the position of city lord. ”

As soon as Zhou Zheng's words fell, Zhou Yu immediately counterattacked without thinking, and then under the gaze of everyone, he got up and left the reception hall alone, and the white-haired old man was silent but had followed closely.

As soon as Zhou Yu and the white-haired old man left, Zhou Zheng looked around but didn't say a word, just stood silently in the center of the hall, the patriarchs of the ten wealthy families immediately felt their hearts tighten, they felt the killing intent from the city lord's coercion, which was rare before.

"Since I took over Yunzhou, the top ten giants in Yunzhou have never been in the same way and have always been in the midst of attacking each other, but, even so, I have never restrained the strength of the family too much, the weak eat the strong, this is the rule of the Xuan Soul Continent, I believe that I don't need to teach you. ”

The faint sound of the Zhou Tribulation echoed in the hall, and the patriarchs of the major wealthy families felt the cold like falling into the cold ground.

"Is it because I am too conniving, so that some people start to get carried away, and I don't know that the sky is so thick that I have the courage to leak out the matter of my Yunzhou?"

Zhou Zheng paused word by word, his expression was solemn, and his voice was low, as if a depressed volcano was about to erupt, and everyone in the hall who listened was terrified.

"If you still want to exist in Yunzhou City, if you don't want to be destroyed, it's best not to reappear today's events, if it really appears, I promise to destroy it before the imperial court transfers me. ”

The patriarchs of all the clans in the hall didn't dare to breathe, and it was only at this time that they realized that the city lord Zhou Zheng was not so kind on the surface, but he didn't usually show his ruthless side.

After Zhou Zai warned the top ten giants and others, he asked everyone to leave one by one, and when Fu Lei was about to leave, he was stopped by Zhou Zai, and in the end, only Fu Lei and Zhou Zai were left in the reception hall.

Fu Lei didn't say a word in his eyes the whole time, Fu Lei didn't agree with Zhou Zheng's last threat and warning, he left halfway just to see if Zhou Zheng would stop him, not for anything else, just to verify whether Zhou Zheng was worthy of his help, fortunately, Zhou Zheng really stopped him, although Fu Lei had already guessed about this result.
