But the iron wolf has no children, and Bai Zhen's second and third sons have no intention of being the city protection general, and the competition for the position of city protection general is fierce:

There is a snake head in the west of the city who will guard the eldest son, the second son will be Ming, and the night will guard the snake palace in the west of the city, and manage the land and medicinal materials of Qingqiu country. Jiang Ming is a strong person, his appearance is relatively ordinary, but his martial arts are outstanding, he has won three consecutive Qingqiu conferences, has unique insights into martial arts and leading soldiers, and is calm and thoughtful. Jiang Ye was the third place in the last Qingqiu Conference, and was defeated by Tielan, but Jiang Ye inherited the beauty of his mother's flower clothes, with excellent appearance, and a unique evil temperament of the snake clan, graceful and suave, loved by many women, and his reputation was not inferior to that of his brother.

Ji Chang, the eldest son of Ji Gou of the civet cat clan in the east of the city, Ji Gou settled in the East Beaver Palace in the east of the city, and was in charge of people's livelihood, farming, cloth, and taxes. Ji Chang has been dressed in coarse linen clothes for many years, and he has been with the working people in the fields, without distractions, and he is focused on the people's livelihood, but his father hopes that he can fight for the position of the general who protects the city.

The brother of the iron wolf of the wolf clan in the south of the city: Tie Lan, the only son of Tie Li, Tie Li lives in the Iron Wolf Palace in the south of the city with the iron wolf, and is in charge of criminal law, prison cells, and disputes. Tie Lan is nine feet long, with thick bones, and his aura is very shocking, usually many timid prisoners, under Tie Lan's interrogation and intimidation, are afraid to confess truthfully. But Tielan has a unique habit, like to spend his spare time, soak in the drunken flower building, and even did not return all night, the drunken flower building is a place for drinking, listening, dancing, and talking about business, the singer sells her art, and the consent of the singer herself is required for the night, and the mother Qinggu never insists, each singer has a stunt, Tielan loves the top brand of the drunken flower building, the green silk singing voice is clear, and there is a listening to "a song of green silk, tea and rice do not think, and go around the beam for three days" It is said that Qingsi is a mortal woman, with outstanding appearance and charming singing, and was forced by the local county order to accept her as a concubine, and her parents were persecuted.

Wu Xian, the only son of Wu Guang, the Tiger King in the north of the city, is a powerful general under the Iron Wolf, but he is also old and gradually unable to do so. Wu Xian was defeated by the generals at the Qingqiu Conference last year, but he was very concerned about the position of the general of the city, and he soaked in the army every day to practice martial arts, learn the art of war and the law of management.

The competition among the five people is fierce, and several of them are wise and courageous, and they should be determined to take over the position of the general who protects the city.

Early one morning, Qinggu, the mother of Zuihualou, received yesterday's example, went to the door of Qingsi's room, knocked on the door more than ten times, and did not see any response and movement, so she sent to lock Xiaojiang to open the door, after opening the door, there was still no movement in the room, only to see Tielan and Qingsi lying on the low table, unable to see their faces clearly, and the mattress did not move.

Mom stretched out her hand to pat Qingsi awake, but when she touched it, she fell to the ground along the edge of the table, and the blood on her eyes, the corners of her mouth, and her nose had coagulated and blackened. Mom stretched out her hand, trembling and put it in front of Qingsi's nose, and after a moment of retraction, she was already out of breath, her body was already stiff, and her mother fell to the ground. Shaking his head, he motioned for Xiao Jiang to take a look at Tielan, and crawled to the corridor outside the room, shouting: Xiao Cong go and invite Lang Zhong, and Xiao Spoon go and call the people from the Law Department. With that, the two young men with sharp legs and feet quickly went out of the door. Xiao Jiang put Tie Lan flat on the ground, Tie Lan's five orifices did not bleed much, black but not coagulated, and reached out to Tie Lan's nasal cavity, the breath seemed to be nothing, Xiao Jiang shouted: Mom, still alive, still alive. Mom said, "Hurry up, go to the box next to the bedside in my room, and get the golden pill."

After taking the pill, Tie Lan's breath became slightly stronger, and after a while, Lang Zhong hurriedly went upstairs, fell at the staircase, and stumbled into the room with the help of Xiao Cong, and walked to Tie Lan's side. Pulse, observed the nasal cavity, and used silver needles to test the blood, neck, and wrist respectively, the silver needles were black and purple, and the poisonous gas had entered the blood and liver. He walked to Qingsi again, squatted down, took his pulse, probed, and shook his head.

Then Iron Wolf and Iron Calendar hurriedly ran to the Zuihua Building with the Ministry of Law and more than 30 troops, and Iron Wolf led the personnel of the Law Department to inspect the room, leave samples of wine and food, and go to the windowsill to check for abnormalities. Tie Li walked in front of Lang Zhong and asked about Lang Zhong's condition, and after listening to Lang Zhong's diagnosis, Tie Li held back his grief and took Tie Lan back to the Iron Wolf Mansion:

Tie Li said to Lang Zhong who came with him, is there any way to save him, and it is okay to save a life.

Lang Zhong said: There is an extreme method, to prolong life with blood, and to use the Tianshan Snow Lotus as a medicine, drink for 49 days in a row to purify the liver, drain all the poisonous blood, and inject half of the blood of the closest relatives, which can save lives, but this method will greatly damage the vitality of the relatives, the life expectancy will be lost, and the rescued person will also be completely lost, such as half of the living dead, to restore independent activities to see the personal creation.

Tie Li said without hesitation: Hurry up and start.

Although Tie Lan had to save his life, he was like half of the living dead, and his martial arts cultivation was completely lost, so he naturally retired from the candidates for the position of general of the city.

In order to save the iron wolf, Tie Li's vitality was greatly injured, and he was unable to move for a while, so the iron wolf came back with people from the law department to check on the situation of his younger brother and nephew.

Walked to Tie Lan and Tie Li's room, and said: This is a deliberate murder, the poison in the eldest nephew is a mixture of bone washing powder and feather liquid and rubbed on the wall of the purple sand wine glass, seeing that the wine is blended, colorless and tasteless, specifically for people with cultivation, this is for the eldest nephew, I thought about it repeatedly, is it related to the competition for the position of the city protector? That must be done by one of the four families. All kinds of medicinal materials and poisons are guarded by the head of the snake, and the head of the snake is the most suspicious in this matter.

After that, he took the poisoned wine utensils and led the No. 80 army to the west of the city......
