Five days later.

Zhanghua Mansion, Fenggu County.

A small alley in the middle of nowhere.

A middle-aged man dressed as a porter vomited blood and retreated again and again, looking frightened.

"You and I don't know each other, why did you attack me?!"

"Zhuo Youtang, the shadow son of Fenggu County, is now between the sixth and eighth levels of enlightenment, right?"

Xu Chong, whose entire face and body were shrouded in a cloak, asked as he pressed step by step.

"You...... Are you from the government? ”

Zhuo Youtang asked in surprise, and at the same time puzzled.

He was sure that there was absolutely no such master in Fenggu County, who could kick himself to serious injury with just one kick.

Even the nine-fold prefectural order can't be done.

Not to mention, the person in front of him is definitely not the cowardly and fearful county magistrate.

"You only have the right to answer, and you are not qualified to ask questions."

Xu Chong's voice was indifferent, "In the third year of Yongtai, Taiping Dao purchased food on a large scale, and because of your merit in buying grain, you were given a big medicine to improve the realm, but in fact, those grains were not purchased by you, but by slaughtering a village with a total of two hundred and twelve people, right?" ”

"I... I don't know what you're talking about. ”

Zhuo Youtang's heart became more and more flustered.

The massacre of civilians was also a forbidden thing within Taiping Dao, and it was impossible for him to admit it.

But...... How could anyone know about this?!

I obviously didn't leave any evidence...... What's more, more than ten years have passed now!

"Whether you admit it or not."

Xu Chong continued to take steps, "Some debts always have to be repaid. ”

"No... No...... Don't kill me! ”

Zhuo Youtang kept retreating, but he didn't mean to turn around and flee.

Because he knows that he can't outrun the other party, and if he doesn't run, he can still have a moment of respite, and if he runs, he will probably die immediately.

His mind was spinning wildly.

Debt?

This man was a survivor back then?

No...... It is absolutely impossible, I waited at the entrance of the village for ten days, and all the people who returned from going out were wiped out, and it was confirmed that there was no omission.

That's not a survivor, is it someone from the government?

It's impossible......

The government is full of flies and dogs, and they are more ruthless than themselves, how can they send such a master for a group of villagers?

Besides, even if the government chases and kills itself, it is a fair and honest thing, why hide your head and show your tail like this?

Wait a minute!

Mince the matter?

Zhuo Youtang suddenly remembered the order he had received a few months ago - to keep an eye out for people who were acting suspiciously, and report them immediately if they found them.

Thinking about the news and portraits from other shadows, the identity of the cloaked man is about to come out!

A thousand-faced Taozi, Wei Wuxie!

Zhuo Youtang was shocked, and at the same time even more puzzled.

If it is really Wei Wuxie, then at least he is also a master of five or six levels of the pulse, plus he is a noble Taoist, how can he not get along with his own little shadow?

As for revenge for those villagers.

It's simply impossible, and it's even a joke.

Since this is not the case......

There is only one possibility for Wei Wuxian to find himself - to probe the actions of Taiping Dao, or the attitude!

That's why they hide their heads and tails, so they pretend to take revenge on the villagers, in order to hide their true identities!

Thinking of this, Zhuo Youtang immediately spoke: "Don't kill me!" Whatever you want to ask, I can tell you! You can tell me to do anything! ”

"Huh?"

Xu Chong paused, "I don't have anything for you to do." ”

"I can tell you about Taiping Dao, aren't you a government official, this will definitely be useful to you!"

Zhuo Youtang said quickly, pretending that he hadn't guessed the identity of 'Wei Wuxie'.

"How much can you know?"

Xu Chong's tone was full of suspicion, but his steps did not move again.

Zhuo Youtang was overjoyed, and said in a loud voice: "The Lord of the Lane Moon Hall ordered the twelve mansions to pay attention to the abnormalities in the territory, and on the side of Zhanghua Mansion, the water ghost lord has not been heard from recently, and no one can be contacted, and someone has been sent to replace him from the main gate, and on the way here, there is also the white-clothed Dao descendant Yu Rong, who has broken through to the five-fold ...... of the Tongmai."

Xu Chong waited quietly for him to finish, and finally asked: "I'm curious, you have more sources than other secret sons, if you want to get a big medicine, there are many ways, what are you doing by slaughtering those villagers?" ”

These words made Zhuo Youtang breathe a sigh of relief, because he didn't hear any killing intent.

"Back then, my realm was not enough, even if I was a shadow, others didn't look at me squarely, and if I wanted to climb up, I could only make this decision......"

As for the fact that there are more sources than other covert sources?

How can I be?

Purely to confuse the public, mixed with a lot of hearsay, and even some of them are pure fabrication.

So far, it's not bad.

Zhuo Youtang looked sincere: "You should know my value, I can help you get a lot of information like this." ”

He believed that even if Wei Wuxian had dealings with many people, as the legend said, he would never dare to trust those people in his current situation.

And this is your chance to live.

Pity.

Xu Chong shook his head, "You guessed wrong, I just came to ask for the debt for those more than 200 lives." ”

"What?"

Zhuo Youtang was stunned for a moment, and his face changed greatly: "Impossible!" You ......"

The rest of the words didn't come out, and they were blocked by the gushing blood.

Zhuo Youtang reached out and touched it, and his throat was slippery.

When was this?

With a stunned look, Zhuo Youtang fell backwards.

Xu Chong stepped over the corpse without hesitation and sank into the depths of the alley.

Less.

The 'corpse' on the ground suddenly moved.

The blood-stained right hand barely swiped a few times, until it was completely weak, and there was no movement at all.

Xu Chong maintained his greed for light, looking at the corpse close at hand and frowning.

"Is there only enough life left to write a word?"

"It should be shallower to ......"

"That's it, only one 'thousand' word should be enough, and if you make up for it, some paintings will add to it."

Immediately, he turned and walked into the shadows, silently waiting.

After more than an hour, the sun set and the people who had worked returned home.

Zhuo Youtang's body was discovered, which soon attracted a large group of officials.

It didn't take long for the prefectural order to come.

The look of indifference, the moment I saw the word 'thousand', changed several times.

The county magistrate quietly wiped the handwriting with the soles of his shoes and beckoned the officials to carry the body away.

"That should be fine."

Xu Chongyin nodded secretly.

In the past five days, he hurried at full speed, passing through Zhanghuafu City and still not stopping, for this Zhuo Youtang.

When he was in Canglong, he spent half a month preparing for the hunting contribution, and among the selected lists, there was this Zhuo Youtang.

Anyway, if you want Wei Wuxian to appear, you can simply get rid of it, and it doesn't matter if you have contributed or not.

"With my ninefold strength...... No, with the strength of Tongmai Yizhong, it was impossible to rush from the capital to Fenggu County in five days. ”

"Theoretically, it's enough to prove that Wei Wuxian has nothing to do with me."

Duan Yuanming...... I hope you don't be ignorant. ”

……

……

Ten days later, a thousand households.

"You're finally back."

Ge Wanshan patted Xu Chong's shoulder and breathed a sigh of relief, "You didn't encounter any danger on the road, did you?" ”

"Nope."

Xu Chong shook his head, "My subordinates didn't take the official road, they shrunk all the way and came back over the mountains and mountains." ”

"I see...... Well? ”

Ge Wanshan was stunned, "Then why did you come back so soon?" ”

"My subordinates walked with Jiang Lao all the way, and they gained something, and then they saw the grandeur of the capital, and they were lucky to break through."

Xu Chong threw out the rhetoric that had been prepared a long time ago.

"It turned out to be a breakthrough, no wonder."

Ge Wanshan nodded, squinting at Xu Chong: "You kid, don't say that you will be a small flag as soon as you come, how long has it been, and you want to raise the general flag again?" ”

"The faster you improve, the happier you are, isn't it?"

Xu Chong smiled.

"That's true."

Ge Wanshan also laughed, and directly put his hands together, "Come, use all your strength to punch me." ”

Full......

Xu Chong tugged at the corners of his mouth.

If you really punch with all your strength, this defenseless fear will not be killed by a punch.

"Fight, what are you afraid of, can you hurt me if you have a heavy pulse?"

Ge Wanshan urged, "Just go through the process, and the province will go to the assessment again." ”

"Okay."

Immediately, Xu Chong put on an extremely solemn posture and punched out.

Boom.

Ge Wanshan didn't move, but his face darkened, "I asked you to punch me, but I didn't let you use the wind folding hand...... You're on horseback. ”

Thanks to him for not tearing off the blood robe today, otherwise if he was beaten back half a step, he would not have lost his life.

"Uh..."

Xu Chong touched his nose, "Am I passing?" ”

"Pass."

Ge Wanshan waved his hand, "However, there are no free manpower now, the general flag can be raised for you, and if you have manpower, you have to figure it out by yourself." ”

"Can you still recruit people?"

Xu Chong was a little surprised.

The 'thousand' of the Thousand Households refers to the number of school captains.

If you recruit another flag, the number of captains will exceed a thousand, which is a bit of a violation.

"It's just a trivial matter, with your current value, as long as you can recruit a hundred people."

Ge Wanshan said indifferently, "The pacification envoy won't say anything if he knows." ”

Sure enough, it's still a privilege.

Xu Chong thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, the subordinates should concentrate on martial arts." ”

It's too much trouble to recruit people, even if there is a priority for unconditional requisition, it's useless, Yang Xiong has just harvested Zhanghua Mansion, and new leeks haven't emerged yet.

When you really want to use people, just ask Kou Ruohai to borrow it.

"As it should be, go ahead."

Ge Wanshan sat back.

As soon as Xu Chonggang left, his face became ugly.

"Wei Wuxie's ......"

"Can't the court let him go and hide honestly?"

"Jump out at this time and provoke the court?"

Ge Wanshan wanted to curse.

In the past few months, he had already settled down, believing that Wei Wuxian would disappear from now on and would never be found by anyone again.

But I never expected that this guy not only appeared, but also left such obvious traces.

Someone faked?

Not quite like that.

Pretending to be Wei Wuxian will not only make the real Wei Wuxian more vigilant, but also attract the attention of all parties.

When you don't see the benefits, a fool will do it.

But if it's really innocent, why deliberately leave traces?

What exactly does he want to do?

Ge Wanshan was puzzled.
