Chapter Seventy-Six: Troop Transfer
The next morning, Sun's study.
The prefect of Sun Liu also stood in front of the painting case, splashing ink with his brush, painting arbitrarily, and the mountains gradually appeared on the picture scroll.
"Your Excellency. The door of the study was wide open, and an entourage quietly entered the study and said in a low voice, "Yue Xiaolin has arrived at the market. ”
"Hmm. The prefect of Sun Liu responded indifferently.
Another moment passed.
Another attendant also entered the study and said in a low voice, "My lord, Yue Feng has just left Yue's mansion, and he should go to the place where he took over his father's work. ”
Yue Mansion manages the mountain and forest shops, so naturally there are many things to do, and Yue Xiaolin gradually handed over the matter to Yue Feng.
"Good. Sun Liu's prefect put down the brush and admired the picture scroll in front of him, the mountains on the picture scroll were continuous, and there were black clouds on the horizon, and there was a feeling that the black clouds were pressing the city and wanted to destroy it.
"Willow leaves. Sun Liu's prefect shouted suddenly.
"In. A man outside replied respectfully.
Sun Liu's prefect directly threw out a token: "You and the other two are ordered by me to go to the bazaar, capture Yue Xiaolin, if they resist, tie him up, put him in prison, and the prison will be strictly guarded by me, and the entire bazaar will not be allowed to enter or leave until I get a new order!"
"Yes!"
Liu Ye was originally a notorious cultivator, but he was subdued by Sun Liu's prefect and followed him for a long time, and he was Sun Liu's confidant.
"Liu Ye, you take a team of personal guards and quietly capture that Yue Xiaolin for me, and also put him in prison. Always remember to be careful and keep your hands and feet clean. Sun Liu's prefect commanded.
"Don't worry, sir. Liu Ye hurriedly replied outside, he had been following Sun Liu for a long time, and he knew that he couldn't let others show up to capture that Yue Xiaolin, so this was called 'quietly captured'.
For a cultivator, this kind of thing is naturally not difficult.
Governor Sun Liu walked out of the study, and there were two other cultivation masters and some personal guards such as Commander Zhou standing at the door of the study.
"Commander Zhou, you take a team of personal guards and take my token to go outside the city in person. The prefect of Sun Liu instructed, "Take three battalions of men and horses into the city, give me a heavy siege of Yue's mansion, and take down all the rest of the Yue family, especially that Yue Feng, don't let it go." ”
Commander Zhou heard it from the beginning to the end, and still couldn't help but say: "My lord, arrest Yue Xiaolin, Yue Feng, and now you want to arrest the rest of the Yue Mansion? That Yue Feng is a cultivator, and he also killed the river god demon before, and he has a great merit." ”
"Humph!"
Governor Sun Liu glanced at him, "Yue Xiaolin has been managing shops in the mountains and forests for so many years, and he should have dealt with those monsters and guarded the peace, but he has not been able to kill a few monsters over the years, he thought he was just incompetent, but now he is colluding with monsters in private, taking a lot of silver, and conniving at monsters to commit murder, and now a lot of evidence points to him, such a big crime, how can his Yue family not arrest it?"
"Collusion with monsters?" Commander Zhou exclaimed, "This kind of crime can't be easily decided. ”
That's a big crime.
It's usually all over the place!
The heart is merciful, the main culprit is killed, the family members and daughters are also sent to the official kiln, and the men are also forced to die.
"The evidence is conclusive, colluding with monsters is a capital crime, but since it involves the cultivator Yue Feng, he has a great merit, and the prefect has been the imperial court, and the imperial court will finally decide the life and death of Yue Feng. But now, according to the laws of the imperial court, their whole family must be arrested and imprisoned first. "Governor Sun Liu's mansion looks like a businessman, "Commander Zhou, take the order." ”
Commander Zhou nodded obediently, although he felt that his lord had done a bit too much, but he followed the prefect after all.
In a room, there are now two business owners, including Yue Xiaolin, who are handling affairs.
Bang, the door was pushed open.
"Who is it?" Yue Feng and the other shop owner were a little annoyed, ordinary people here would not dare to trespass.
It was Liu Ye who pushed the door and rushed in, the two of them with five personal guards, and some curious people in the distance were watching from afar.
"During the management of the operation of the mountain and forest shops, Yue Xiaolin colluded and connived at the monsters, and the evidence is conclusive, and now the prefect has an order to arrest him and put him in prison. Liu Ye held the token in one hand and shouted, "Take him down for me!"
"No, I didn't collude with youkai. Yue Xiaolin glared.
The guards rushed up and directly captured Yue Xiaolin.
I wanted to resist, but when I saw this scene, I didn't show my skills.
Yue Xiaolin also knew very well in his heart that at this time, it was useless to resist.
Resistance may be killed, and it is a crime on top of a crime, and secondly, this is a place where fish and dragons are mixed, masters are like clouds, and this willow leaf is an extremely powerful cultivator, where can he resist.
"Imprisoned. Liu Ye coldly commanded.
Then he turned his head and walked out of the house, holding the token, and shouted loudly, "By the order of the prefect, from now on, you are not allowed to enter or leave." Violators, kill!"
The people around were so frightened by this scene that they didn't dare to squeak!
"Something is wrong. ”
"Are you allowed to enter or not to go out?"
These onlookers did not dare to resist and disobey in the slightest.
Because the imperial court has given the prefect absolute power, military and political power in one, officials below the seventh rank can be cut first and then played, and Yue Xiaolin does not have an official and a half-post, who dares to resist the prefect?
Inside a shop.
Yue Feng was checking the business status of his shop when suddenly a voice came from outside the door.
"Brother Yue, Brother Yue. ”
Yue Feng heard the voice, who was shouting to himself? couldn't help but wonder and walked out.
As soon as he went out, he disappeared without a trace.
The shopkeeper and apprentice in the shop are now gone, and they are a little puzzled, but they also guess that the owner may have gone out with friends.
"Boom~"
Three thousand troops entered the city from outside the city, and the mobilization of so many soldiers and horses into the city at once naturally attracted the attention of some big clans in the mountains and forests.
But after all, the Yue family had few subordinates, and they didn't know that a large number of troops had entered the city.
Even if you know, you won't care.
Inside Yuefu.
It was quiet, and the housekeeper was leisurely knocking melon seeds.
The guards in the palace were also chatting casually, and the servants and maids were also doing some chores day after day.
Grandpa Sun and Liu Ye were also doing some of their own things on the side at this time
After waiting for a while, Yue Feng realized the danger and quickly ran home.
"Huh?" Yue Feng's ears moved.
I faintly heard some noisy sounds, and couldn't help but wonder if I used my fist intent, out of my small courtyard, looking into the distance, through some gaps in the grass and trees, I could see the Mirror Lake in the distance behind Yue's Mansion, and I could also see that a large number of troops began to move on the shore of the Mirror Lake in the distance.
"Why did you suddenly mobilize so many troops?" Yue Feng whispered to himself, slightly puzzled, "There should be very few troops entering the city." ”
When more manpower is needed for some major events such as choosing a name and signboard, the army needs to enter the city.
Yue Feng shook his head slightly, then turned around and went back to his courtyard.
Because the army was operating on the edge of the mirror lake in the distance, it was still far away from home, and it didn't take it seriously.
Of course, I also had no idea in my heart that the officers and soldiers would deal with me.
He made a great contribution to killing the river god demon in the mountains and forests.
Even if the local government wants to deal with itself, it will face inquiries from the imperial court.
And cultivators, the relationship with the imperial court is already delicate, it's a big deal, they are all hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is not difficult to assassinate an official and so on.
Therefore, the more powerful the cultivators, the more cautious the court will be.
And the cultivators have more or less something to do with the Zhentian Alliance.
Of course, just don't resist the imperial court, if you really offend the imperial court, even the masters of the Jindan realm can only flee in embarrassment.
After all, it is a dynasty that rules the whole world.
"Boom Boom~~~"
Yue Feng had just entered the courtyard and wanted to cultivate, but the subtle footsteps that he could hear with his ears became more and more dense, "No, why is this officer and soldier getting closer and closer to my house?"
The army on the far side of Mirror Lake is just far away.
But the footsteps heard at this moment came faintly from the street outside the front gate of Yue's mansion, and it was obvious that a large number of troops were approaching here.
"Whoosh. ”
Yue Feng is a little at his feet.
flew more than ten zhang high, directly to the crown of a big tree, standing on the canopy of the tree and looking down on the surroundings.
At this glance, Yue Feng's face changed, and he felt that danger was coming.
