823 Lift the table
"Uncle Master, now they are finally saved!"
The city hall in the distance is still full of people, and on the top floor of a restaurant not far from the public hall, Liu Ruyan is full of joy.
In front of her, there is a water mirror that others can't see, and the scene in the water mirror is a scene above the public court with forbidden legal protection.
"The way of heaven is clear, the people's hearts are wanting, the surname Hu is the wall down and everyone pushes it, this time he is dead!"
"Not necessarily!"
Shangguan Wuming pinched the chopsticks and greens and put them down in Gu Xiaoman's bowl, shaking his head absently.
"Although the structure of the Great Zhou is strict, in my opinion, it is still the rule that whoever has the greatest strength will have the greatest reason. Now Mei Xin and the three of them have the upper hand, not because of anyone's desire, but because the three of them together are stronger than the surnamed Hu. ”
"Isn't it the desire of the people to have evil retribution for the wicked?"
Liu Ruyan pouted unconvinced.
To say that among the three elders, the master Zhang Bairen is gentle and generous, which makes people feel close; the master is cold and majestic, not angry and arrogant; only Shangguan Wufang's temper is the most casual, and he can get along with a few of them.
Therefore, for this second master, he also has a few less respects and more casualness.
"Who is the wicked? Who is not?"
There is no need for Shangguan to open his mouth, Gu Xiaoman has already put down the dish to his mouth and snorted coldly.
"In my opinion, these people are disgusting! Eat people without blood, dirtier than demons!"
"Uh...... , they will be retribution. ”
Liu Ruyan was stunned, and at the same time as she spoke, she also felt that the tone of this little man's speech seemed to be a little strange, the human race......
"Yes, there will be retribution soon!"
Shangguan wiped his mouth without life.
He raised his head and looked at the City Lord's Mansion not far behind the public hall.
"What kind of rule infighting, isn't it necessary to have more powerful people to turn the tables? It seems that there are not many rules and reasoning in this world. ”
"No life, you've been very angry lately!"
Chen Ziang held his hands and sat expressionlessly, the scorching sun shining through the window sash scattered on half of his body, which also made his burly figure more soft.
In the face of the sinister heart, Chen Ziang still seems to be able to maintain the stability of his mind.
"Yes! I originally thought that Da Zhou was a holy land on earth, so I came here to take a look. Ay...... It's really disappointing. ”
Shangguan Wuming sighed and shook his head.
"The Great Zhou Dynasty has been there since the beginning of the world, although political affairs have undergone many changes, but after all, there has never been a real catastrophe, and there is a lack of self-correction ability, so some unfairness is inevitable. ”
Chen Ziang smiled indifferently.
"Moreover, because of the presence of the Heavenly Mirror of the Heavenly Gods, there have been many fewer unjust, false and wrongful cases. ”
"What's the use? You look at Licheng, the people who can't fill their stomachs every day account for more than seventy percent! Even outside of the Great Zhou, some of the Terran kingdoms ruled by the demon clan are stronger than here!"
The snake demon Gu Xiaoman snorted coldly, and the corners of his mouth showed disdain.
"Sister Xiaoman, the situation in Licheng is still a minority after all. ”
The willow is like a smoke mantis, and its voice is like the opening of a mosquito and a fly.
But the tone in her voice was one that even she didn't believe very much.
For the thinking that you can get everything when you are a big official, it is almost the truth in Da Zhou!
"Look, they're at the City Lord's Mansion. ”
Shangguan knocked on the table without a fate, Liu Ruyan raised his eyes, but saw a group of officers and soldiers surrounding Mei Xin and Hu Lan, who were stumbling, and had already arrived at the inner mansion of the city lord's mansion.
And the common people have long been driven aside, and only a few brightly dressed people are allowed to enter, presumably the rich gentry in the city.
"Lord Lu!"
Mei Xin arched his hand towards Lu Mang.
"Find out about the snake demon, and you'll have to worry about it. ”
"Mistress Mei is polite, this is the duty of the next. ”
Lu Mang replied in a humble voice, and at the same time patted the command talisman on his waist, his face was grim.
"Fengtian carriers, monitoring all parties, demonic traces are visible, and they are as urgent as the law!"
The token soared into the air with the sound, rising in the wind, turning into the size of a door panel, and a vertical eye in the middle opened slightly, connecting with the formation between heaven and earth, shining a bright light, enveloping the entire mansion.
"Shhh...... Hiss ......"
Immediately, I saw the back house of the city lord's mansion, a puff of white smoke rose up, straight into the sky, and there was a 'hissing' sound inside, which made people's scalp numb.
"There really are monsters!"
Clerk Wu Yong's eyes widened, and he shouted at Hu Lan.
"The surname is Hu, as the lord of a city, you shepherd the people on behalf of the imperial court, but you don't think to report to the imperial court, the lower body of the people, and you still keep drugs in captivity privately, it's really damned!"
"Humph!"
Hu Lan closed his eyes and snorted coldly.
"The surname is Hu, now that the evidence is conclusive, I see how you can quibble!"
Mei Xin looked at Hu Lan who had no fear, and a trace of something was wrong flashed in his heart, but at this time, he was no longer allowed to think about it, and with a wave of one hand, a seal had already come out of thin air, and he was suppressed towards the white smoke.
"Hiss...... Hiss ......"
It seemed that a mournful sound sounded, and as soon as the white smoke in the air met the big seal, it instantly shrank, and after a while, it turned into the size of a person, and was captured in front of everyone.
"It turned out to be a white snake!"
The big seal is still suspended in the void, and below it is a white snake, the body of the white snake is winding and moving, and from time to time it changes into a human body, but it is a beautiful woman in white.
"I know this girl, isn't it the girl named Xiaorou from the City Lord's Mansion?"
Someone pointed at the snake demon and roared, which also caused others to speak out one after another, resounding that they and the others had been so close to facing this snake demon that devoured the living, and not only did cold sweat break out on everyone's bodies.
"The surname is Hu, what else do you have to say?"
Mei Xin's eyes were happy, and now, the overall situation has been decided!
"The host ......"
The snake demon on the ground seemed to be in pain, his body struggled to shrink to the ground, and when he was in the body, he stretched out his hand with great difficulty and moved towards Hu Lan.
"Haha...... , master!"
Mei Xin's eyes were full of joy, and he laughed again, and the others also looked relaxed, and a big stone fell in each other's hearts.
Although the Taoist priest was able to speak well and persuaded everyone present, as long as there was a fork in the face of the lord of a city, they would all fall into a place of no return!
Now, it's finally a success!
"Fuck it!"
Lu Mang kicked him from the side, hitting the face of the snake demon, the snake demon's original delicate appearance, immediately swollen, and there was pain in his eyes.
"It turns out that it was you, the dirty thing, or the female who killed dozens of of my subordinates! The surname Hu also has a heavy taste, and even the long snake can be hugged to bed! Admire, admire!"
"Haha...... Haha......"
When the people present heard this, they immediately remembered that the identity of this snake demon seemed to be Hu Lan's personal maid, and the maid of this identity naturally had to do something unsightly.
At the moment, laughter is inevitably mixed with contempt.
And Hu Lan, who had been unresponsive to this, seemed to be stimulated, and his eyes suddenly opened.
"The surname is Lu, you are looking for death!"
It seems that for him, the condemnation is far less disgusting than the snake demon's body.
"I'm looking for death, I think you're looking for death!"
Lu Mang was stunned for a moment, habitually shrunk his head, and the next moment he reacted, he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, roared, and went towards Hu Lan Fan with one palm.
"Smack......
The slap was strong in the face, making a crisp sound, but it also made everyone present stunned.
"How...... What's going on?"
Lu Mang covered his face with one hand, his eyes were full of confusion, how could the person who was beaten be himself?
"Nonsense, this is the political affairs you are dealing with?
A voice sounded in the distance, and then an old man walked out slowly surrounded by the two of them, and appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Old Sun, my subordinates are not secretive, and I have disappointed you!"
A flash of joy flashed in Hu Lan's eyes, and his body weakened at the moment, and he knelt on the ground towards the old man.
"There is nothing truly foolproof in the world, as long as it can be controlled, it is not a matter! But you, the city lord, are really capable of betraying relatives and leaving relatives. ”
Sun Lao shook his head, with a look of hatred that iron does not become steel.
"Subordinates are taught!"
"Get up!"
"Yes!"
Hu Lan stood up respectfully, and at the same time realized that the prohibition on himself had disappeared.
"What are you doing?"
After reprimanding Hu Lan, Sun Lao spoke to the others, and his voice was even more stern.
"Sun ...... When did you come?"
Mei Xin's face turned pale, and her voice trembled unconsciously.
Sun Peien, a member of the state capital, a second-grade civil servant in the official residence, Hu Lan's mentor, the early cultivation of the Daoji, and the umbrella of the disciples of the Holy Sect in the officialdom!
But he is high above, and he doesn't even go to the county town below, how can he come to this small Licheng and appear in Hu Lan's mansion?
"When did I come, and do I have to report to you?"
Sun Peien smiled disdainfully.
"It's you, who committed a crime, led the crowd to pressure the officials, and acted so boldly and recklessly, but it opened the old man's eyes!"
"Sun ...... Master Sun, you don't know that this nonsense of taking captive drugs and making profits from them to wantonly scrape the people is really a great crime!"
Mei Xin 'pounced', knelt on both knees, and yelled at Sun Peien with a crying voice.
"Yes, Lord Sun, you are always discerning, and you will definitely not allow the people below to do such evil, to discredit you, the court, and the Holy Sect!"
Clerk Wu Yong followed, and the others also knelt down like dumplings, and several people trembled even deeper, almost losing control on the spot.
"Is that so? ”
Sun Peien nodded, and looked at Hu Lan with a serious face.
"This ......"
Hu Lan froze in place, looking sluggish, looking around, but he didn't know what to say.
"Hey!"
Seeing Hu Lan's reaction at this time, Sun Peien not only frowned, shook his head with hatred, and at the same time quietly glanced at the person next to him.
"My lord, my subordinates have heard different voices. ”
The man nodded, and immediately stepped forward.
"By the way, I forgot to introduce, in the Xiazhou Mansion Yuanmen Wei Yanhui, the martial arts six grades, the same as a few people here. ”
Yan Hui introduced himself and continued to speak.
"The method of cultivation of his subordinates is more peculiar, and his ear skills are stronger, but he heard the sound of this snake demon talking with people, but he wanted to design with people and frame Master Hu. ”
"Oh, is that really the case?"
Sun Peien's eyes moved, and he glanced coldly at the snake demon on the ground.
"Don't dare to deceive adults, it's true!"
"So, this snake demon was actually not raised by the Hu Hu City Lord, but was intentionally planted by someone with a heart to be by his side?"
"That's how it should be!"
Yan Hui nodded.
"But who set up such a poisonous plan to assassinate the city lord of Hu, it really needs to be discovered by adults!"
"Demons, demons! Allowing all the evils in the world in one, such evil things, to keep them is to torture all beings in heaven and earth!"
Sun Peien looked at the snake demon expressionlessly.
"Kill!"
"Yes, sir!"
Yan Hui nodded, and walked towards the snake demon.
"The host ......"
The snake demon on the ground was confused, and although he didn't know much about the development of things, he knew that he was in danger now, and he couldn't help but habitually look at the people closest to him.
"Phew, who is your master? You say, why do you want to hurt me?"
Hu Lan also reacted at this time, suddenly shouted, stretched out his hand and took out a sword from the Qiankun bag, stepped on it in one step, the sword light flashed, and it had already penetrated the snake demon as a chest.
The snake demon's body stiffened, his mouth was poisoned, his teeth were bulging, his eyes shrank, and he looked at the sharp blade on his chest in disbelief.
"Lord...... The host, Xiao Rou...... Little Rou ......"
The snake demon's mouth trembled, the essence of her body passed quickly, and a heart-tearing pain rose from her heart, which also made her eyes blur instantly, and the appearance of the person in front of her seemed to have become the seven or eight-year-old boy she met for the first time.
Over the years, not only has the young man's appearance changed, but even his mind has become incomprehensible......
Sighing in his heart, the snake demon's eyes closed, and the demonic power accumulated in his body instantly dissipated, and his body fell softly towards the ground.
It's only a few feet, but the head touches the ground, but it makes the white snake seem to have been shaken away.
Eternal darkness descended, and only two unsolicited teardrops slowly slid down the basilisk's cheeks.
Although the snake demon died, the situation in the field continued, but the attitudes of both sides were reversed.
"Lord Sun, the subordinate officials are ignorant, deceived by traitors, and almost wronged the city lord of Hu, and almost made a mistake into a thousand hatreds, but fortunately the adults woke up!"
Mei Xin slammed his head to the ground and banged.
"The subordinate knows that he is guilty, and he asks the adults to punish him!"
"Yes! Lord Sun, Xia Guan was also confused for a while, and he actually believed that City Lord Hu would keep snake demons in captivity! I think that since City Lord Hu became the city lord of this city, he has worked hard to destroy demons, how can he have an affair with snake demons?"
Clerk Wu Yong's reaction was not slow.
"There must be someone else who saw what City Lord Hu did and hindered his own affairs, so he came up with this conspiracy to frame City Lord Hu, and we almost fell for the trick and became that person's accomplice!"
"yes, yes!"
Although Lu Mang is not eloquent, he kowtows the loudest.
And the wealthy gentry were already lying on the ground, trembling and waiting for a choice.
"Huh?"
Sun Peien nodded slowly, and looked at Hu Lan noncommittally.
"Do you think it's supposed to say who's going to do it to you?"
"Hmmm......"
Hu Lan glanced around, and more than a dozen transmissions had already sounded in his ears, and various conditions were placed in front of him one by one. But he sneered in his heart, and finally set his eyes on Lu Mang.
"As the only military attache in the city, Lu Mang has been in charge of destroying demons many times, but every time he has returned in vain, there must be something wrong with him!"
"Lord Hu?"
Lu Mang raised his head suddenly, his face was pale, and his eyes were even more desperate.
He didn't understand, logically speaking, he was closest to him, even if he started, Hu Lan should also start with Mei Xin and Wu Yong, why did he choose himself?
He didn't know that the most intolerable thing for some people was the betrayal of the people around him!
"As for the rich city lords, there should also be those involved in this matter, but who it is, it still needs to be carefully investigated!"
This time, if I don't squeeze you dry, I won't be surnamed Hu!
Hu Lan secretly hated in his heart.
In the distance, above the restaurant.
Chen Ziang squinted his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he was silently watching the scenes of the City Lord's Mansion.
"It's disgusting......"
On the other side, the snake demon Gu Xiaoman's body was already lying softly in Shangguan Wulife's arms, and his eyes were full of endless sadness of the rabbit and the fox.
"Terran, it's really terrifying......"
