"Guardsmen, there are assassins here. When Hai Laoweng fell to the ground, staring at his eyes and constantly spitting blood from his mouth and nose, Gong Mingyi, who was trembling, kicked all the tables and chairs with his feet, creating a mess, breathed three or five times, swung the dagger in his hand and stabbed it into his abdomen, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Guards, come quickly, there are assassins here." ”。

In order to ensure that Hai Laoweng's death was at the hands of assassins in his ghost's opinion, Gong Mingyi decided to take a gamble and brought a dagger that was not included in the weapons register in advance.

And if he is not afraid of ten thousand, he is afraid of what if, if he is not injured and there happens to be a ghost who sees him coming to the tent, then he will not be able to argue, but if he is also injured, and he has always been loyal to Beiyin in the past, he will no longer doubt him.

Moreover, Hai Laowen is a human soul, and even his body turns to ashes after death, which becomes a real death without proof.

His voice quickly drifted out of the tent, and a pair of patrols not far away were stunned when they heard this, and then drew their swords and hurried towards the tent.

As soon as he entered the tent, he saw Hai Laoweng, who had fallen in a pool of blood and was gradually turning into blood-colored powder, and Gong Mingyi, who was kneeling on the ground with a wound on his abdomen, and his forehead and face were covered with beads of sweat in pain.

In the pungent smell of blood, those sergeants immediately panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Gong Mingyi and exclaimed: "Lord Gong, Lord Gong! Call the military doctor, hurry!"

At the same time, two guards rushed out of the tent in desperation, looking for a military doctor.

Seeing that these Qiu Ba were trapped, he endured the pain and almost fainted, Gong Mingyi used his last bit of strength, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Quick, quick, chase the assassin." ”。

After the trick was done, Gong Mingyi slowly closed his eyes......

After walking southwest for a day or two in the middle of the Bamboo Prefecture, Xiao Shizhu's shrine stopped outside a mountain castle called Jishi Castle.

It is a rocky mountain built entirely of solid rock. This lonely peak is made up of black rocks, and the ghosts of the city have carved out winding roads or pressed the cliff plank path between these cliffs and rocks.

Then, in the square inch in front of the cliff on the side of the mountain road, an earthen wall and grass roof house was built with a stone mat foundation and wood as a column, an earthen foundation built on the wall and a thatched roof.

Or dig a grotto directly in the mountain wall, and the ghost people live in it.

The aqueduct built by the craftsmen led by Julong crossed the farmland around the foot of the mountain. Occasionally, you can see a few deer-like beasts with pig's heads and long fangs in their mouths, strolling leisurely through the fields.

Outside the farmland, you can also see the base oil seedlings and the asphalt lake with an area of no more than three or five acres. Many human souls and demon spirits surrounded the oil seedlings and asphalt lakes, collecting the fierce fire oil flowing from the oil seedlings, transporting it to nearby workshops in barrels, and transporting it to various military centers.

At this time, the autumn harvest has just ended, and the farmland around Jishi City is deserted. Within a radius of dozens of miles, there is barren soil and gravel everywhere, and there is not even a little green tree, in the cool breeze of late autumn, there is inevitably a lot of gloom in the area of Jishi City.

After Xiao Shizhu's shrine stopped ten miles outside the city, the kind-looking and smiling Zhang Zhifu in this city immediately went out of the city to greet him with great fanfare.

After Xiao Shizhu allowed him to come to the audience, Zhang Zhifu dragged his somewhat bloated short and fat physique, and gasped for breath to ascend to the shrine.

As soon as he entered the shrine and saw the magnificence inside the shrine, Governor Zhang immediately froze in place, and there was no sound coming out of his mouth.

Taking advantage of the fact that Xiao Shizhu had not yet come out, Governor Zhang couldn't help but turn his head again and again, looking around at the furnishings and decorations inside. The delicate carvings and furniture, and the night pearl inlaid on the ceiling, all made the prefect of Zhang smack. In particular, the solemn throne placed in the middle of the depths, carved with a hundred ghost patterns vividly, almost wanted to come out; when the prefect of Zhang was surprised, he had the idea of going up and sitting.

Xiao Shizhu was just born as a dog prison and could use such a good thing, which made the smiling Governor Zhang feel a little jealous and unconvinced.

Just as he was about to gain traction, Xiao Shizhu walked out of the study slowly, the dark robe on his body swaying gently with the breeze passing through the carvings on the window, and the silver flames on the cuffs seemed to come to life.

"Sit down. Xiao Shizhu, who didn't have a good face, said coldly, and went up to his throne by himself.

He had already sent Chun Han into the city to explain, everything in the city was operating as usual, and the yin officials and ghosts did not have to go out of the city to greet each other with great fanfare. But Governor Zhang actually dared to disobey his king's order, and took the initiative to summon a group of ghost people to come out of the city, which made Xiao Shizhu feel disgusted.

Governor Zhang, who didn't know that the catastrophe was coming, immediately showed a flattered look, and after answering resignedly, he sat on the Qingluan peony carved red sandalwood chair at the bottom of Xiao Shizhu's right.

"Governor Zhang, are there any thefts and robberies in Jishi City?" Xiao Shizhu, who had a straight face, slanted a glance at the fat-headed and big-eared Governor Zhang, whose face was full of sweat beads, and asked in a deep voice: "Is there any such thing as expropriation and extortion because I came?"

When he finished speaking, Xiao Shizhu's fists in his sleeves were clenched slightly.

Thirteen days ago, his Xuanjiao disciples had infiltrated the city disguised as village vendors. The scenes under the banner of receiving Xiao Shizhu, and the tyrannical expropriation of the ghost people in the city, were seen by the Xuanjiao disciples.

This is the reason why Xiao Shizhu suddenly decided to come to this city for a walk.

Whenever he thinks of these corrupt officials who are kind on the surface and lose their conscience in private, Xiao Shizhu will recall the dark coins that he was extorted by Jiang Ziwen in the Ghost Judgment Palace, and the roots of his teeth itched.

He hated these corrupt officials in the underworld from the bottom of his heart, and he longed to see one kill one, and two kill a pair. To be honest, it's not that he's noble, at first it's mostly because of the dark coins that were extorted at the Ghost Judgment Palace.

Of course, there is still a bit of jealousy and hatred, but not much. If he wants me to be like Wu Qiu Shou, I'm afraid it's still a little difficult.

However, this also made him win the hearts of the people in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and Xiao Shizhu has continued to maintain this so-called fine tradition since then.

At this time, after hearing his questioning, the prefect of Zhang shook his head without changing his face, smiled lightly, and said confidently: "The lord is too worried, these things are not in Jishi City; ”。

As he spoke, Governor Zhang's heart suddenly felt a little resentment, and Xiao Shizhu's practice of all ghosts canceled the kneeling salute, which made Governor Zhang's Mansion very unhappy.

An old ghost like him, who has been in the underworld for nearly a thousand years and has been an official in the underworld for a long time, has a common problem, that is, he can find a sense of superiority that is different from ordinary ghosts from the hierarchy formulated by Emperor Xudu.

But Xiao Shizhu made such a sense of superiority disappear. Officials can't oppress the ghost people, and they can't take advantage of the ghost people, which makes Governor Zhang feel that being a ghost official is completely boring.

And seeing that the ghost people didn't kneel when they saw him, they could still stand straight and look at him; every time they saw the ghost people who didn't kneel when they saw him, the prefect of Zhang couldn't wait to rebel, drive Xiao Shizhu out of power, and restore the previous hierarchy.

But now is not the time, Zhang Zhifu had to suppress his anger, still holding a smile on his face and afraid of his chest, and assured Xiao Shizhu that the six animals in the city were prosperous and the five grains were abundant, and the disadvantages were clear.

Looking at him patting his chest as he spoke, almost breaking his ribs, Xiao Shizhu scolded in his heart: "Hopeless." Later, he snorted angrily: "But I received a notebook, saying that you were extorting in order to welcome me?"

He is not talking nonsense, but he has really received a secret report that the officials of Jishi City, led by the prefect of Chengzhang, are privately taking and expropriating the ghosts in the city.

When Governor Zhang, who was still full of red light, was stunned, his face became even more ugly than pork liver. But it was only for a moment, and Governor Zhang's complexion returned to its original state.

Xiao Shizhu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, although he wanted to deter the other party, but he didn't want to startle the snake, so he immediately changed to a smiling face, and said slowly in a slightly softened tone: "You can't trust all the secrets, it's best not to have these things." Okay, I'm sleepy too, so you can go back to the city now. Do your job well, and don't mess with me. ”。

"No. Governor Zhang originally wanted to fool Xiao Shizhu, such as letting him go into the city to see the whitewash he had created or something, but when he saw that Xiao Shizhu yawned after finishing speaking, he had no choice but to give up, get up and bow and leave slowly.

After noticing that he was far away, Xiao Shizhu immediately put away the sleepiness on his face, raised his hand and patted it lightly twice, and Qinglan followed suit.

"Inform the county's Taishou Loess and immediately remove him from his post as the prefect of Jishi Chengzhang. At the same time, his house was raided, and all his property was distributed to the local ghost people. After thinking for a while, Xiao Shizhu closed his eyes slightly and said: "Then send him to Nanban to dig mines; ”。

"No. Qing Lan took his words to heart, and turned to leave.

"Governor Zhang's Mansion has set a precedent. At the same time, the ghost mother turned out of the bedroom, walked to Xiao Shizhu and sat down, looked at the direction of the gate where Governor Zhang's mansion left, and said leisurely: "We walked all the way, passing by a lot of cities, but he was also the first official of the Yin Division of the Nine Shadows Country to be punished. ”。

Obviously, everything before, she heard it word for word.

"Just because I went out on patrol to collect money, I just scolded him a few more words and asked him to return the money to the ghost people. Mu Qingming snorted angrily, took out the basic secret recital book from his sleeve, handed it to the ghost mother, and gritted his teeth and said: "Half a year ago, the inspector of the inspection department set his eyes on him; ”。

The ghost mother pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, then took the notebook and unfolded it, and after a few hasty glances, she shook her head and said: "According to the Yin Law Division (the Yin Division that specializes in adding longevity to the good and letting the evil return to the Yin. However, the Nine Shadows Kingdom has not yet unified the underworld, so the Yin Law Division of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is equivalent to the Ministry of Justice, and the law enforcement ghosts in the monitoring country are serious in enforcing the law. The law that was made is to be cut down by this ghost. ”。

"What's the point of killing him? The country needs to build wasteland, and it needs to be reclaimed, so let him go to hard labor first to build the country. Xiao Shizhu smiled lightly, and cunning flashed from the bottom of his eyes: "The ghosts who break the law have to use their value." ”。

But Xiao Shizhu, who has always been very smart, never thought that his decision to let Governor Zhang return to the city first would leave a hidden danger to his own safety.

[Lossless Beast - This legendary beast has meat that can never be eaten; if you cut one catty, it will grow one catty, and if you cut five catties, it will grow five catties. No matter how much flesh you cut from it, it will heal immediately without any damage, so it is called a non-destructive beast. 】
