"Have you heard? The flower-picking and killing serial killer has been solved. You can never imagine who did it?"
The showers have cleared up, and all the restaurants, teahouses and prostitute houses in Baling County are chatting about the new things that happened today.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Even Niu Er, a tenant of the Huang family who was exhausted after a hard day's work, happily took a break from work and returned home to chat with his mother-in-law.
Don't worry, why on earth did this tenant who didn't even have enough to eat get a wife? Anyway, he did.
The two of them cooked a pot of Huhu with bran-hulled brown rice, and drank half full of it. Their eyes were full of happiness.
The mother-in-law, with her big belly, couldn't rest after washing the dishes. She turned around, picked up the dirty smelly clothes, and started to wash them. She also asked curiously: "Master, I'm still searching for you these days, don't go out to look for me." I am afraid that the flower-picking thief will come to my door, and I am terrified all day long... Now is good, has the murderer been caught? Who is it? "
Niu Er scooped up a bowl of water and drank it down. Although the porridge was thin, the grain husk scratched his throat, and his stomach seemed full and empty, but always a little empty.
I heard my mother-in-law talking.
He squirted out a mouthful of water.
"Alas, no one will pick the flowers on our family's head."
This woman has no self-awareness at all.
He thought for a while, and considering that the woman was about to add another child to the Niu family, he decided not to say any unpleasant words and just share the news he heard.
"The murderer is Zhao Yuantong, the second young master of Mr. Zhao's family in the north of the city. I heard that he learned a Lao Shizi evil spirit training method from the Biphosphorus Immortal Master in Shepan Mountain. It is so powerful that even the head catcher and the county captain are not him. The opponent... However, this evil spirit seems to need to pluck the virgins of good families and kill them afterwards, swallowing up even the blood and bones..."
"What?"
The woman was so frightened that she threw away all the dirty clothes in her hands.
So fierce.
"Then how was he caught?"
"This has to bring up the new arrester Zhang in Baling. He found out that the previous arrester, Mr. Zhou, was colluding with the Zhao family. He took action in anger, exposed the conspiracy, and joined forces with the county captain to not only kill the second young master of the Zhao family, but also He also killed the Biphosphorus Immortal Master, no, he killed the Biphosphorus Demonic Snake."
Niu Er and Yourong talked about the stories they had heard, and vividly recounted what happened on Changping Street in front of the county government office that day.
"Zhang Captou?"
The woman said she had never heard of it.
"That's Agent Zhang who was possessed by a demon and almost burned to death. You shameless person often peeked at others. Don't you remember now?"
Niu Er took a sip.
"As expected of my daughter-in-law, he is indeed a hero. If he serves as the head catcher, we people in Baling will be able to live a good life in the future. Our family will not worry about being harmed by Mr. Huang. I heard that those gentlemen now Everyone was scared, and when I came back, the old housekeeper allowed us to delay paying the rent without forcing us too much."
This is indeed a happy event.
If the persecution is really severe, people may starve to death this year.
Of course, I don’t know if other people’s families will have surplus food, but Niu Er’s family will definitely not be able to survive.
"Is this such a good thing?" The woman's eyes lit up.
If we were not forced to pay the rent, we might not be so sad this year because of the reduced food production due to floods and the inability to pay the rent.
"Of course, because of the lax discipline of the Zhao family, a scoundrel like Zhao Yuantong was born. Now the government has confiscated the house, and all the members of the immediate family have been investigated. They were either imprisoned or kicked out of Baling. The Zhao family is finished... …
The other wealthy families were also frightened. Although Mr. Huang boasted about his benevolence and righteousness, he probably didn't do any good things secretly. It was common for people to be forced to death. Are they not afraid of being called upon by the government? When such a big event happens, they still don't coax us to suffer... If someone goes to the county government office to beat the Dengwen drum, Mr. Huang will definitely have to walk around without food. "
The rich and powerful may be gentle or cruel in their actions, but when they treat their tenants and ordinary people, they are really disrespectful.
When you casually crush ants to death, you don't care whether you used your strength to crush them.
Some things, of course, disappear into obscurity when no one lifts the lid.
However, if you encounter a powerful headhunter, no matter how small a matter is, it will become a big deal.
And now the newly appointed Chief Zhang is said to be someone who can't get even a grain of sand out of his eyes.
No matter how big your background is or how high your status is, as long as you are targeted by the government and launched a strict investigation, it will definitely lead to disaster.
Just imagine, even the Zhao family, a top family in the county with a powerful background and huge wealth, has collapsed. Who would dare to compete with Zhang Captor?
"Didn't you say that the head catcher is not an official, but a subordinate? Isn't it a bit out of line for him to do things like this? The county captain and the county magistrate don't care about him?"
Although the woman had little knowledge, she could not even understand the difference between officials and officials.
These days, the lower the rank, the more they are taught to recognize people with their eyes and to kneel low enough and kowtow loud enough when meeting adults.
If you don't recognize someone and can't understand the situation and bump into an adult, you will simply not be able to survive.
Therefore, Niu Er's family works in the fields on weekdays, and sometimes helps others starch and wash clothes for a small amount of money. In fact, he is considered a person who has seen the world, and he is a little confused at this time.
"That's a good question."
Niu Er suddenly missed the kind of wine he drank three years ago when he was working with his uncle to help the nobles. He hadn't had it in many years. Unfortunately, there was only a clumsy woman in front of him. He could only follow She said, a little disappointed.
"Why do you think this head catcher is so arbitrary? I asked him about it. He said it straight away. If anyone interferes with it, he will stop working and prepare to go to the capital to study and take exams. What about snakes coiling in the mountains? He doesn't care about the Zhao family's follow-up. Think about it, a powerful snake demon randomly comes to Snake Panshan. What will happen if they come looking for revenge and can't find Mr. Zhang?"
"Then what should we do? Isn't Zhang Captou very dangerous?"
The woman finally understood.
Are the gentlemen in the county government using Zhang Patou as a sword?
If you really encounter a powerful person or demon from the Zhao family or Snake Panshan who comes to seek revenge, let Zhang arrest him.
Therefore, in this case, we will never hold back. If he is not an official, he will be an official. Let Zhang Baotou be fully responsible for the affairs of the Zhao family, and then brag about his reputation for catching murderers and snakes.
No matter how many enemies come, they will only seek revenge on Zhang Captou and not others.
"It is very dangerous, but since Zhang Captou dares to take on this matter, he should be confident."
Niu Er also had a worried look in his eyes.
He was also worried that if Zhang Captou had any shortcomings, the old housekeeper of the Huang Mansion might show a vicious and ferocious face again.
Life at home is very difficult.
Whether he can survive is a big question.
…
"Has the news gotten out?"
County magistrate Wen Zhongguang did not recuperate at home as rumored, but was in the backyard of the county government office, sitting quietly on the side of the flower garden, smelling the fragrance of flowers and drinking wine.
In front of him, sitting with his buttocks only halfway up, was a middle-aged man with a clear face, gentle and elegant, who was making a respectful report at this time.
"Sir, Zhang Bailing's reputation has spread throughout the counties, and even the governor's office must have heard about it. As for the Zhao family, I have already arranged people to send the children of the concubines on board the ship, and they will enter the capital soon. Injustice There is a beginning, and the creditor has an owner. The whole story has nothing to do with you, so please feel free to rest assured."
"Zhang Changshou, the magic sword, has such a great reputation... Haha, that old fox Chen Zian can hide, but he is responsible for arresting thieves, and something like this happened under his rule, and he personally used a gun to fight that day, how can he hide cleanly? ? Boshan, do you think this county should write to the governor's office and transfer him as soon as possible? This place is obviously a fire pit."
The middle-aged man known as Bo Shan shook his head without thinking, and sighed: "At this critical moment, transfer is impossible. Your Excellency has achieved some achievements in the past few years, but recently, the Qingyu Gang has made trouble. It’s such a big mess, and there’s also the flower-picking and serial murders happening, so I can only be considered average in the evaluation, and it’s good if I can avoid being punished.”
He considered his tone, his eyes flickered, and then said: "If you want to transfer Baling away from this whirlpool, you still have to think of a way."
What method.
In fact, the two of them had known it for a long time.
"I don't know whether Zen Master Guangfa of Bodhi Yuan can trust it. If it's really what he said, it's not that I can't think about it."
"This matter is of great importance. Let me think about it carefully. It is easier to get on the boat than to get off. Bodhi Courtyard's request is not small. Once the matter is spread, I am afraid that there will be no burial place." Wen Zhongguang was a little embarrassed and shook his head. , and had not made up his mind.
"How about? Try the Purple Bamboo Forest. Fairy Mingyu is a pure member of the Taoist sect. She has a reputation for killing demons. I have never heard of them having any bad achievements that disrupted one party. As long as they come to the door sincerely, they can be recruited as helpers. , I just don’t know what they want?”
Master Mr. Boshan came up with another idea.
The two looked at each other and had a plan in mind.
…
Zhao's house, which covers hundreds of acres, is still luxurious, but it has changed its owner.
Thousands of hectares of fertile land and industries are spread throughout the county. With just one servant, the Zhao family is so arrogant and bossy that the phoenix with its feathers is no better than a chicken...
Not to mention those direct descendants with eucalyptus in their bodies have already been imprisoned and will be tried at a later date, either beheaded or exiled.
Just say that those family members who were innocent and had not done anything evil were also kicked out of the house by Zhang Kun and left to fend for themselves.
This has to mention Zhang Kun’s three views on life.
In his opinion, these people are still clean despite having done evil things.
They live in the Zhao family, are protected by the Zhao family, and enjoy the resources of the Zhao family. Both men and women actually have some original sins.
You eat and you are rich, the people are rich and the people are anointed, this is probably what it means.
Since we have enjoyed the affluent life provided by the Zhao family, naturally no one can be said to be innocent when the Zhao family is in trouble.
Confiscating the family without destroying the family was just Zhang Kun's good intention as a descendant, but he was obviously not a holy mother, and he did not care about his identity.
Even though he was just the head catcher, he still did his duty, swallowed up the Zhao family's property, and then went around to recruit and buy maidservants to enrich the inner house.
"Captain Zhao, this is not good. Logically speaking, the property and land of the Zhao family should be transferred to the county government and re-divided... If you seize it at will, it will be hard to talk to the county magistrate."
A middle-aged scribe wearing an eighth-grade official uniform looked at Zhang Kun with contempt in his eyes.
I thought to myself, this little catcher suddenly became rich from a poor man, and was suddenly appointed as the chief catcher. I am afraid that he has dark eyes and has never seen money spent in vain, so he dares to ask for anything.
Also, he eats alone, which is ridiculous.
I'm not afraid that I won't be able to take a bite and will be starved to death.
"Oh, Mr. County Magistrate, you can do whatever you want. The Zhao family's house, fields, gold and silver will all be given to you. Zhang will not take any money. However, we have agreed in advance that I will not do this headhunting anymore. When the eldest son of the Zhao family, Zhao Yuanzhen, comes back to seek revenge, you have to step up and block him. Otherwise, when the entire Baling County is wiped out and there is boundless bloodshed, don’t blame me for standing by and watching."
Old God Zhang Kun said attentively: "I heard that Zhao Yuanzhen worshiped in Shepan Mountain and became Lord Qingyun's personal disciple. He has already mastered the power of Qi. With one finger, he can crush our county captain to death. By then, A sea of blood and a mountain of corpses, I hope the county magistrate can escape."
"You..." Wang Renli pointed at Zhang Kun, choked and speechless.
What is this called?
Chi Guoguo's threat...
If co-authoring doesn't bring you any benefits, why don't you run away and leave the mess to the magistrate of Baling County?
How can there be such hateful people in this world? Is there any distinction between superior and inferior?
"What am I? Why, the county magistrate thinks I want too little. Or should I say that the county government is going to support a group of precious medicines and masters so that Mr. Zhang can improve his cultivation and prepare for the battle against the Monster Mountain. That's fine. Don't ask for more. , fifth-grade salvia, sixth-grade Ganoderma lucidum, here are a few... Magical weapons and mysterious weapons are also needed, otherwise, I am worried that I will not be able to withstand the Zhao family's revenge... If Zhao Yuanzhen angers the county magistrate, he will kill the county magistrate. Go to the Yamen, I’m afraid things won’t end well.”
"This? Where can the county government have such treasures and magic weapons?"
Wang Renli was shocked and did not dare to say anything more.
He knew what the county magistrate was thinking, and what the situation was like for the county captain Chen Zian. Judging from the situation of dealing with the demonic snake that day, if Baling County wanted to survive this disaster, it really needed the bold and unstoppable person in front of him. Taboo takes action quickly.
"But, the Zhao family..."
"You want to say that I arrested Zhao Yuantong? If the other party wants to find him, he will also look for me? This doesn't make sense. You people, when faced with a demon like Zhao Yuantong who tortures innocent women, you can just let it go. I just wanted to find a scapegoat to end the matter. When someone captures and kills this demon, he still wants to hide aside and not take any responsibility? Do you want to send a piece of paper to Tiance Mansion? "
Zhang Kun shook his head and was very dissatisfied with these civil and military officials in Baling County: "It doesn't matter if you make mistakes in your work. It's not impossible to correct your mistakes if you know them. But if you make mistakes, you don't want to punish the real culprits. You only think about your own hat and official position. This is not good.
Wang Xiancheng, I am not afraid to tell you that even if you put all the identities of enemies of the Zhao family on my head, it will be useless. If people really come to seek revenge, how can they tell the difference between right and wrong, and pay attention to the principles of justice and debt, instead of just killing you all from top to bottom? Even if I'm blind.
Now that we are pursuing this little resource, we might as well think about where to find reinforcements? The best thing is to report it to Tiance Mansion and invite the Demon-Slaying School Captain or the Demon-Slaying School Captain. Otherwise, whether this level can be passed is still a question. "
After Zhang Kun said this, he didn't look at Wang Renli's reaction. He just turned to look at Wei Lian: "Uncle Wei, see the guests off. Don't let idlers come to disturb you and delay your practice."
"yes."
Wei Lian smiled and agreed, half softly and half hardly, and sent the county magistrate out of the "Zhang Mansion".
…
"Ms. sir, you're done."
The little carp happily leaned forward and said, "I have made a pot of lotus seed and jade ginseng soup. Drink it while it's hot. It will greatly replenish your vitality. I didn't expect that the Zhao family is so rich and they all take advantage of us."
A few days ago, I was planning carefully for a few taels of silver, and I had to think twice about buying meat at the market.
At this time, she was almost overjoyed when she saw this golden mountain, silver sea, precious ginseng and good medicine.
"Isn't there a cook? Why did Lian'er do it herself?"
Zhang Kun took the soup bowl and took a sip. He felt a warmth rush to his limbs and bones. The true energy of the alchemy was stimulated by the power of the medicine and accelerated, absorbing the free energy between heaven and earth. The speed also began to increase.
Medicine is good medicine, and soup is good soup, which can increase the speed of practice.
It's not all bad.
However, compared to the real immortal cultivator, the kind of monk who has achieved great success in refining evil and condensing energy, this progress is simply not worth mentioning.
Unless you spend several years practicing the best magical secret books and using the best magical medicines and pills, you can catch up with such masters, but now it's too late.
Fortunately, I don't just rely on food and medicinal materials to strengthen my body, nor do I simply rely on time to increase my cultivation. With the dragon energy point in my body, some processes can be omitted.
This is the reason why he occupied the Zhao family's residence and property so aggressively.
Now that you have decided to collect dragon energy in Baling Realm, prepare to destroy demons, suppress bandits, and kill thieves to bring peace to the people, then it is necessary to make yourself comfortable in your spare time.
I'm going to carry this pot myself, why don't I want to get some benefits?
The little carp raised its small mouth with pride on its face: "The food cooked by an ordinary cook may taste good, but when it comes to cooking precious medicines and mastering the fire, how can it be as good as my concubine? I still select the medicinal materials myself. It can greatly replenish vitality and enhance qi and blood, but they can't figure out the way between the monarch and his ministers. If it's not done right, rare ingredients will be wasted, affecting the improvement of the husband's strength and delaying the plan."
"You know what big plans I can have?" Zhang Kun was amused and rubbed the little girl's long hair...
The little guy was playing the game of "husband and concubine" on his own. He was afraid that he wouldn't want her, so he kept talking about it all the time, and even tried his best to please himself. It was up to her.
Once the rejection is harsh, it won't be good to hurt her heart, so leave it at that, kids don't know anything anyway.
On the contrary, it is urgent to improve one's realm.
No one knows how strong Zhao Yuanzhen will be and whether he will bring help.
At this time, strengthening yourself is the best way.
Although he often talked about escaping from Baling, he never really thought about escaping.
With so much dragon energy right in front of you, and with the best identity and reason, it wouldn't be a pity to just leave like this.
First, adjust your body to the peak state of Danyuan Realm.
Zhang Kun felt that his foundation had reached a state of perfection with no leakage, no increase or loss. At this time, he was ready to save time and directly use the Dragon Qi Point to break through.
The next step is to break the Dan Ning Gang and reach the True Gang realm.
