Chen Luo walked in the city for a long time.
From the west of the city, walk to the south of the city.
From the south of the city, we walked to the north of the city.
Finally, we walked from the north of the city to the east of the city.
There is the voice of a peddler and a thief...
There are also gossips about old women and women.
There is also the fear in the heart of a child.
At dusk the sun sets...
Found an inn.
But couldn't find a place.
"Don't we still have rooms in this inn?"
Chen Luo asked.
It was not the day of the temple fair, but it was rare that there were no rooms in the city. It was especially rare that there were rooms but they were not given to them. It was even more rare.
"I won't hide it from you, sir. There is indeed a room in this inn, but I can't give it to you."
"Why?"
"The Zheng family has an order that no outsiders are allowed to be admitted during these days."
"Zheng family?"
Chen Luo was silent.
Xu Jiu asked: "Their hands are quite long...but your inn is not owned by the Zheng family, why are you afraid of it?"
"I have to be afraid."
The shopkeeper said: "The Zheng family has a backer, so even immortals need to stay away.
In this huge city of Yuzhou, people from the Zheng family exist in all walks of life.
Not to mention our inn, it is the salt and iron of the government. The Zheng family is all under control. What do you think we can do? "
Salt and iron...
It has always been a government camp,
No one except the imperial court can control it.
This Zheng family...
That's okay.
"Why aren't they letting people in?"
Chen Luo asked again.
The shopkeeper looked around: "This is actually not a secret, it is all caused by the new county guard. Many orders were issued that day, saying it was to prevent the county guard from sneaking into the city!
Today I heard that the county guard entered the city.
Now I live in the Yamen’s house...
Logically speaking, this ban should be lifted.
But the Zheng family didn’t say anything.
Who dares to break the rules in this huge city of Yuzhou? "
The shopkeeper said, clasping his fists: "Sir, don't ask any more questions, and don't worry about me. Please let me live!"
Chen Luo nodded.
Exit the inn.
"Chen Luo, it seems we have no place to sleep."
Xiaobai was a little troubled: "What should we do?"
"This is a problem..."
Chen Luo said: "It seems that we can only find a general who ruins the temple and make do with it."
It seems good to think that after these years of being away from home, the world and the earth are my home, and there are still ruined temples in the city.
But Chen Luo's luck has always been good.
It's a coincidence.
Walking on the street, suddenly there was a sound.
Looking back...
It was actually the tea stall owner: Shi Wanli!
"Boss, what a coincidence!"
Chen Luo smiled.
"It's indeed a coincidence. I didn't expect to see the young master here again."
He sells tea in the west of the city.
Lives in the east of the city.
After closing the stall and returning home, I met the last customer.
Could this be a coincidence?
After asking again, I heard that I couldn't find an inn to stay in.
Shi Wanli immediately invited: "If you don't mind, you can come and stay at my house... I have a house in my house."
"this is not good."
Chen Luo said: "The Zheng family has an order. If people from the Zheng family know about their move in, it will always be bad."
Shi Wanli was silent...
"One night, it'll be fine."
He said this.
Chen Luo nodded and followed Shi Wanli back without further delay.
But from a distance, before entering, I heard crying coming from the courtyard.
Shi Wanli's expression suddenly changed.
He quickly entered the courtyard and saw a woman in the courtyard holding a fifteen-year-old girl crying. There was also a man in the distance who looked angry and angry.
"The head of the family,"
When Shi Wanli came back, the woman cried louder.
"what happened?
Xiaolan, your face? "
"Daddy..."
The girl wanted to say something, but she cried louder and louder, and she couldn't say anything.
"Zhong Gao, what on earth is going on?"
"Father-in-law..."
The angry-looking man opened his mouth, and after a long time he said, "It's the young master of the Zheng family: Zheng Jiangnan..."
The man spoke slowly.
Just as his words came out, Shi Wanli's heart sank.
That girl is Shi Wanli's daughter, Shi Xiaolan.
The man is Zhonggao and is Shi Wanli's prospective son-in-law.
Today, the two of them made an appointment to play in the south of the city.
Although Shi Xiaolan is a civilian girl.
But she is also good-looking and delicate.
With her oval face and bright eyes, she always stands out among the crowd.
It's a coincidence.
I happened to meet the young master of the Zheng family, Zheng Jiangnan!
"What did he do?"
"Nothing."
Zhong Gao said: "He just asked his servants to come up and pass the message, saying...he will come to the Shi family tomorrow and take Xiaolan away."
With just one sentence, Shi Wanli's face turned pale.
He smiled bitterly.
Looking back...
"Young master, I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave the Shi family... It's not that you don't want to keep the master here, but if you stay, the master will be implicated tomorrow."
Chen Luo listened to their conversation quietly from beginning to end.
This scene seemed familiar.
I seem to have seen it somewhere...
Looking back, I have seen quite a few.
Robbery of civilian girls, dandy boys.
The former Ji family!
The former Wang family.
The former Zhao family.
It seems that there are not a few of them...
But when I look back today, I have become the Zheng family again.
Hear what they have to say…
Chen Luo nodded.
Nothing was said.
Turn around and leave.
Shi Wanli sighed and took his family members into the room. As for what happened to the Shi family, Chen Luo didn't know.
"Chen Luo, what should we do?"
Xiaobai asked Chen Luo.
There used to be a place to live, but now there is no place to live.
"Let's make do with it for one night!"
Chen Luo rubbed Xiaobai's head and finally found a ruined temple.
The ruined temple is not big.
But perhaps few people live there, so the temple is covered with spider webs.
Entered the temple.
There are empty shrines on both sides, and I don't know what god they are.
However, the clay statue is still there.
But after many years of not enjoying the incense, the clay statues became dilapidated, as if they were about to be destroyed by a gust of wind.
"Chen Luo, what kind of god is this? He looks so pitiful?"
Xiaobai asked Chen Luo.
Over the years, she has seen a lot with Chen Luo.
Such pitiful gods are rare.
Chen Luo gave Xiaobai a head start: "Don't be rude..."
Xiaobai covered his head and didn't dare to say any more.
"Go and collect some firewood, otherwise we won't have a fire at night."
"good."
The city is no better than the wilderness.
This firewood is a little harder to find, but for Xiaobai, there is no need to worry too much about this.
Xiaobai came back soon.
Night falls.
Flames rose in the temple.
Although it is swaying, it is like the lights of thousands of houses...
I grabbed two fish from the storage bag and grilled them, making dinner... When I was bored, I took out a book and started reading.
If nothing happened these years, Chen Luo would read books from time to time.
I often have some insights or something.
Xiaobai didn't like it.
Seeing Chen Luo reading a book, he also wanted to learn from it, but as he watched, he lay on Chen Luo's lap, causing Chen Luo's leg to bleed.
But I don’t know when I fell asleep,
"This child..."
Chen Luo shook his head.
Sure enough, for her, this book is always the best lullaby.
Thinking about it, I went to sleep.
The noise in the city finally became silent...
The wind blew into the ruined temple, causing the candlelight to sway.
Chen Luo opened his eyes.
Someone was kneeling outside the door.
This man was dressed like a businessman, and he looked like a human being, but he was different.
The clothes on his body were shabby.
It's like it hasn't been washed for hundreds or thousands of years.
Look again...
But it is very similar to the clay statue on the altar.
Chen Luo sighed slightly.
stand up.
Get out.
Appear in front of this person.
Seeing Chen Luo come out, the man quickly kowtowed: "The city god of Yuzhou City has seen you not fighting for your father-in-law. I beg you not to fight for your father-in-law and make the decision for the little god!"
He kowtows.
Banging.
Chen Luoxu raised his hand...
The city god stood up involuntarily.
"Our family knows what the Lord God wants... In the end, our family owes the Lord the Lord for this matter. Don't worry, our family will eventually give an explanation to the Lord Shen and the people in this city."
The city god looked horrified.
"No wonder my father-in-law. No matter whether he is a person, a god, or a demon, no one is immune to temptation. Moreover, my father-in-law is not aware of what the flying general did. This is even more no wonder for my father-in-law!"
The City God said: "It's just that the people of Yuzhou have been burdened by the flying generals, and people in this world dare not take action because of the name of the father-in-law..."
Chen Luo nodded.
And this was the reason why he came to Yuzhou City.
The flying general rises because of himself.
This matter will disappear on its own.
Suddenly.
look up……
He looked at the Yamen in the city.
Frowning slightly...
A talisman appeared in his hand. The talisman flew through the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Please ask Shenjun to retreat. Within these few days, our family will give an explanation to Yuzhou City."
Chen Luo said.
So the city god dispersed.
…
Yuzhou City Yamen.
backyard.
The lights are still bright.
But I don’t know when, there was a gust of wind in Yuzhou City.
The wind is not strong.
But it also made the courtyard whine.
Shang Chaozong was reading a book...but what he was reading was an extraordinary book.
It is the archives of Yuzhou City.
There are seventy-two volumes in total...
Within each volume, there are a total of 365 cases.
Coincidentally……
Any case file in these seventy-two volumes is related to the Zheng family.
This is: the seventy-two files of the Zheng family.
But by no means everything that the Zheng family has done in the past two hundred years, even if it is recorded, there are many things that cannot be included in this file.
"Zheng Family, this Yuzhou City must be called the Zheng Family City!"
Robbery of women.
Take by force.
All are small things.
Kill for fun.
Keep Yin soldiers in captivity.
Control the Yamen.
Even killing a county magistrate was not something he had never done before.
This Zheng family can be regarded as covering the sky with one hand.
Shang Chaozong slapped the table hard... the files on the table fell to the floor.
sigh.
Lower your head.
Go pick it up.
But at this moment, he frowned slightly.
He looked towards the courtyard.
Rustling.
came in the courtyard.
It seems like someone is approaching...
There seemed to be some kind of fight.
A little time.
His expression changed...
Stand up and open the door.
After midnight.
The moonlight falls in the courtyard.
There.
There is a Yaksha with green fangs standing there holding two maces.
In front of this Yaksha, there is a blue flame burning.
Within the flame.
It seemed like something terrible was wailing.
Seeing Shang Chaozong appear, Yaksha turned around and saluted to Shang Chaozong like a human being.
Finally, it turned into a talisman and disappeared into the night.
Shang Chaozong was stunned for a moment, then saluted to the city...
"Thank you sir for saving your life!"
at the same time.
Zheng family.
backyard……
The underground place.
A middle-aged man opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood, but he didn't pay attention to the small mouthful of blood.
Instead, he looked frightened and his body trembled.
"Father-in-law's Yaksha?"
"My father-in-law has returned to Yuzhou City?"
