The temperature under the water is low, the time is long, and it is too cold, and people who come at night have to come out of the water, although they are not willing to return in vain, it is impossible to stay underwater all the time.

The night came, and he didn't expect that there were people waiting for him on the shore!

The night man climbed up the embankment in frustration, sat down on the ground exhausted, and let out a long breath to rest.

Wei Jie shook his hand, summoned the golden crow and the fire python out, and swayed around the night comers.

Wei Jie opened his eyes wide and looked at the face of the person who came to the night, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Water monkey, what are you doing in this big river in the middle of the night, are you sleepwalking?" ”

The person who came was indeed a water monkey who was blinded by the eagle's beak in his right eye, and the water monkey also recognized Wei Jie, and after being shocked, he squeaked and said: "I don't know why I came here, where is this, I obviously slept on the bed." ”

The water monkey hit the snake with the stick, and pretended to be confused according to Wei Jie's words.

Wei Jie didn't expect this guy to be so good at things, hehe sneered: "It's not good, it's terrible!" You have been found by the unjust ghost of the new city lord who has been unjustly killed, and you have been dragged under the water. Did you do something to the new city lord who came to take office? ”

The water monkey snorted: "Sect Master, the corpse of that city lord has long since disappeared with the river, where is it still here!" ”

Wei Jie: "Otherwise, what flows away is a stinky skin, and his soul will never leave here, and he will never forget the person who killed him."

You've been underwater for an hour, and he's sure to have a lot to say to you. ”

Water Monkey: "The sect master laughed, how could he know me, and how could he talk to me." ”

Wei Jie: "No! He must know you, and you must know him. Otherwise, how could he wake me up in the middle of the night, and come here to wait for the murderer to throw himself into the net? You're not the one who killed him, are you? ”

The water monkey was completely panicked, and his hands shook wildly: "Sect Master, there is no matter, I have no grievances with him, why should I kill him, it doesn't make sense." ”

Wei Jie: "However, it was obviously his soul that shook me awake, and he made it clear that the person who killed him was stabbed in the right leg with a dagger by his soul, and asked me to wait here to see if there was a scar on the right leg of the person who went into the water." ”

The water monkey was even more panicked, and hurriedly said, "Sect Master, don't listen to the ghost's bewitchment, it's completely unwarranted nonsense. ”

Wei Jie: "It doesn't matter if he is talking nonsense, if you roll up the right leg and show me, I will be relieved, if not, his soul will come to me again, and I will scold him." ”

The water monkey's hands tightly hugged the trouser legs, not showing Wei Jie. Wei Jie said to Jin Wu and the fire python, "You two help him and get his trouser legs open." ”

The golden crow and the fire python are one hand of the water monkey, and the water monkey does not dare to hold the trouser leg anymore, and runs away if he wants to jump.

However, under the pressure of Wei Jie, the supreme realm, the water monkey, a monk who cultivated in the early stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm, was able to move in the slightest. He sat there and couldn't move, like a clay sculpture of wood.

Wei Jie used the blade of the wind to cut the trouser tube of the water monkey's right leg, and a long fresh scar appeared on the water monkey's right leg, which was six or seven inches long, which was very eye-catching.

Wei Jie sneered: "Water monkey, the soul of the city lord is telling the truth, but it's you, the henchman of Mo Shuiqing, the master of the Qi Refining Gate, who told a lie."

If you don't see the coffin, you don't shed tears, and now that you see the coffin, it's time to be honest and honest, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin. ”

The water monkey's eyes rolled slightly: "Sect Master, how can I say it, I am also a disciple of the Xiuzhen Sect, if there is anything we will talk about when we go back to the sect, can we handle it internally?" ”

Wei Jie: "I want to too, but you and Mo Shuiqing colluded with Zhou Yan and Wang Lang to mix the sect into the officialdom struggle, and you also became a tough thug and killer in the officialdom, and if you violate the national law, you will be punished by the national law."

It's good that you are a disciple of the sect, but although you are a national of the Great Wei State, you are governed by the national law of the Great Wei State. Otherwise, there are hundreds of thousands of monks in the whole country, and they don't obey the control of the national law, and I dare not imagine what the Great Wei Kingdom will look like.

I am a colt and a suzerain. This time I came to Linjing with the princess for a dual purpose. For the sect, it is to clean up the sect and rectify the sect.

As far as the officialdom market is concerned, the princess and I are here to clean up corrupt officials, rectify officialdom, and safeguard the interests of the people.

The case of the new city lord being killed on the way to office is an important part of maintaining the law and discipline of the dynasty and investigating the case and redressing grievances. Tell the truth, there is no room for concealment. ”

The water monkey was still swallowing and spitting, Wei Jie's patience was worn out, he stretched out his hand and pointed a finger, and a wisp of finger wind drilled into the heart of the water monkey, and the water monkey immediately devoured his heart like a thousand Gu, and experienced hundreds of life and death torments within a minute.

The water monkey begged for death and shouted desperately: "I'll recruit me!" ”

The water monkey didn't dare to hide it anymore, and honestly told the story of killing the new city lord.

Two days before the new city lord came to take office, the city lord Zhou Yan received a message from the people in the palace - the imperial court sent another new city lord to replace Zhou Yan, and after he arrived, he ordered Zhou Yan to return to the ministry to listen to the tune.

Zhou Yan is Gongsun Yuan's sworn friend, and when Gongsun Yuan falls, he also knows that his official position has come to an end. It's just that Zhou Yan did too many corrupt things during his tenure, and he was afraid of being found out by the officials and settle accounts after the autumn.

I want to serve for a few more years, and after Gongsun Yuan judges that things are cold, I will be able to land safely.

During the years that Zhou Yan was in Linjing, he colluded with the three major families and the refining gas gate to form an interest group of common prosperity and common loss.

Although the refining door is not deeply involved, it is also involved in interest groups. The entire Linjing City has a bit of power, and it is in the same boat.

The three major families and the Qi Refining Sect were all afraid that after the new city lord came, they would turn over the things they had done before, bending the law and disregarding people's lives, and they would be severely punished and attacked.

Zhou Yan gathered the leading figures in the interest group together to discuss countermeasures: "Gongsun Shangshu has collapsed, and those of us who follow Gongsun Shangshu closely will be unlucky.

The crown prince has won, and he will change all the people of Gongsun Shangshu, and he will replace the city lord of Linjing City, and after the new city lord comes, he will definitely settle old accounts with us, and everyone will discuss and see how to deal with it. ”

People in the interest group were anxious when they heard this. And the Wang family, the giant in the interest group, is even more anxious, the Wang family owes dozens of murders over the years, and there are no less than 100 unjust ghosts.

Wang Lang, the Zhiduoxing of the Wang family, came up with this trick of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, Wang Lang conspired with Zhou Yan and Mo Shuiqing: "We will take over on the road, and no one will take over, isn't everything business as usual." ”

Zhou Yan called it a clever plan! immediately agreed, and asked Mo Shuiqing to take action with a huge amount of money.

As soon as Gongsun Yuan fell, the imperial court immediately sent the new city lord, Mo Shuiqing took me and a few henchmen and brothers, pretended to be bandits, and after disguising themselves, they ambushed in the woods that the city lord must pass through.

As soon as the newly appointed city lord and his party of eight appeared on the road in the woods, they were attacked by us.

We are all cultivators in the Immortal Emperor Realm, and we are fully prepared, to be prepared to attack unprepared, to attack low cultivation with high cultivation, and to kill with one move.

After we had harvested the spoils, we set their bodies on fire and disappeared without us noticing.

A few months have passed, and we have lived a safe and peaceful life.

It's just that the imperial court has not given up on the practice of replacing the city lord, and has sent another official to take over as the city lord.

The people in the palace sent news again, saying that this city lord brought two mid-stage powerhouses of the Immortal Emperor Realm, and they were sent by the prince to protect the city lord.

Obviously, the crown prince was suspicious that the previous city lord had disappeared for no reason on the way to take office, and sent a bodyguard to this dead ghost.

This city lord has a master guard, and he is ready, so we can't use the previous force again.

Wang Lang was resourceful and thought of a clever plan to wreck a ship outside the rapids in the center of the river. Zhou Yan handed over this task to Mo Shuiqing again, and the price was 10 million taels of silver.

I am a well-known water monkey, and I think that there is no better water kung fu in this capital than me. Of course, Mo Shuiqing also regarded me as the first candidate. With me as the main person and the Great Elder as the auxiliary, after completing the task, each person will receive one million taels of silver. ”
