Chapter 130: Second brother Lin Lei is a hidden master? On this day, all parties were silent. Then all parties became busy. A large amount of materials were transported out of the city before nightfall. All the hopes that Inspector Wuchang had during his three-day retreat were completely shattered today. By embezzling materials for city expansion, perhaps you can satisfy all your needs for the rest of your life. But according to the style of this Inspector Wuchang, if they dare to embezzle materials again, they will basically have no future in life. Interests are important, but when it comes to life, it is the most important! "Among the chief flag bearers of the various branches of the Heavenly Monitoring Division in the outer city, Zhou Kui has the biggest backing, the deepest background, and the strongest origin." "The first blow he swung after becoming the Inspector General was on Zhou Kui's head. This was a clear message to all the forces in the city... In the entire Gaoliu Outer City, there is no one he dares not kill!" "He seems to be just a member of the Qingjian Tiansi?"
"He even killed the chief flag bearer of the Tianjian Division, so wouldn't he dare to kill the people of our Outer Southwest Yamen?" "Some time ago, when he was still the flag bearer, he chopped Liu Yi in the street. If the deputy commander who hadn't revealed his identity hadn't known better, he would have also been chopped in the street." "Now he is the chief flag bearer and also serves as an inspector. If he finds any clues, we will basically be dead." "Based on past events, this killer would not capture someone alive, interrogate him according to the law, and make a judgment!" "In his eyes, anyone who commits a crime should be killed. All crimes are punishable by death. It is a luxury for you to be sentenced to hard labor!" The deputy commander of the Outer Southwest Yamen rubbed his brows and said, "Pass the order down, spit out everything you have eaten!" "This……" The person in charge beside him seemed vaguely unwilling. I vaguely felt that the Fifth Master was now high up in the sky, keeping his eyes on the top brass of each department. It seems that I am just an ant, and others may not take me seriously. "You know, when he was helping the night watchman with his investigation, the night watchman didn't want to bother with the minor cases of thieves stealing chickens... but he insisted on catching them!" The deputy commander said slowly, "You are hoping for the best. If you are caught and beheaded, it will be a small matter... The problem is, what if I am implicated?" He patted the papers on the table and said, "General Envoy Zhou Kui was killed. Wasn't it that Fifth Master? Let's start with his son. If that Mr. Zhou didn't have the lucky hope, General Envoy Zhou would at most be suspected of committing a crime, but he wouldn't be beheaded on the spot!" Just as I was thinking this, a loud voice came from outside. "I am Meng Lu, under the order of the Inspector Wu Chang, to summon the Deputy Commander of the Outer Southwest Yamen, Yuan Lie!" "Oops!" The deputy commander's face turned pale instantly. - Outer South Division.
Han Zheng was speechless for a long time after hearing the news. Zhou Kui is dead! Over the years, Zhou Kui has often gotten himself into trouble. But in fact, in his heart, Zhou Kui has never been considered a rival. The reason why Zhou Kui was tolerated was purely because of Li Shenzong. “Once Zhou Kui dies, Li Shenzong will definitely think that it was you who ordered Wuchang to kill his adopted son.” Xu Qing looked strange and spoke in a low voice. "It doesn't matter now." General Han said slowly, "I have tolerated him for many years, but he still didn't ignore my existence. This time he personally issued a declaration of war to suppress Wu Chang's martial arts. I don't need to tolerate him anymore." "Emperor Li Shenzong would probably think so too, so he would be even more certain that Zhou Kui's death was instigated by you," Xu Qing said. "Wu Chang's actions this time were well-planned. He killed him in the name of the inspector of the Heavenly Supervision Department, and Li Shenzong couldn't use this as an excuse to cause trouble." Han Zheng laughed and said, "On the contrary, he is the adopted son of Emperor Li Shenzong. If he is corrupt and perverts the law, it will not be good for his reputation if it gets out." At this point, he looked at Xu Qing and said, "After this incident, the leaders of the various departments in the outer city will basically not dare to take the city expansion materials again! But we still have to be on guard, because some inconspicuous little termites will take risks and can't suppress their greed." "clear." Xu Qing responded: "I ordered people to keep a close eye on it." Han Zheng nodded and said, "Also, if I am not mistaken, the various forces dare not take action against the city expansion materials... but will change direction." "What do you mean by changing direction?" "If we expand the new city, the outer city will surely become more prosperous in the future and gradually approach the scene of the inner city." "You mean, they will start with the existing layout of the city?" "Yes, they can be allowed to conduct legitimate business and make a living, but don't let them have the idea of robbing or forcing others to buy or sell." Han Zheng said calmly: "Occupying houses, seizing residential land, invading farmland, etc., will not be uncommon in the near future!" "understand!" Xu Qing nodded and said, "But as for the affairs in the city, our Wai Nan Division can only take care of the Twelve Wards of Wai Nan!" "Report to the Heavenly Supervisory Department!" Han Zheng paused and said, "Notify Linjiang Division and inform Yu Wuchang about this!" Xu Qing responded and was about to leave. But then he heard the flag envoy Han say: "The small flag stationed in the Outer Southwest Division has been exposed by Wu Chang. Keeping him is useless and will only make him be excluded. Call him back." "..." Xu Qing's body stiffened and he couldn't help but laugh awkwardly. "You are the only one who knows who I have planted."
General Han snorted coldly and said, "You knew that Wuchang would take action against Zhou Kui, so you handed this secret agent to him... and you dared to hide it from me beforehand!" "Inspector Wu Chang has given instructions not to let you interfere." Xu Qing couldn't help but say, "He told me that there was some grudge between you and Li Shenzong, and it would be beneath your dignity if you killed Li Shenzong's adopted son! As your junior, it would be appropriate for him to kill Li Shenzong's junior!" "Bullshit! He just wants to kill people!" Han, the flag bearer, rubbed his brows and sighed, "The problem is that Zhou Kui's ability is not top-notch among the warriors in the Refining Essence Realm, but it is average... In front of Wu Chang, he actually has no power to fight back?" For the first time, he felt deeply that he could no longer see through this boy's true cultivation level. I remembered the Three Sources of Qi and Five Elements Refining Treasure Record that I had read that day. Could it be that this kid has really reached the peak of the Essence Refining Realm and started delving into the Qi Refining Realm? This is incredible! I was the one who taught this kid the art of concealing his breath! At the beginning, it was the first stage of martial arts, tempering the skin, flesh, tendons and bones, but not yet refining the blood, let alone cleansing the marrow. In less than three years, I thought he had become strong inside, but I was already extremely shocked. After a few days, I was surprised to find that this kid was at the peak of internal strength. After a few days, I was even more shocked to find that this kid was actually in the Essence Refining Stage. Today, he suddenly began to realize that this kid might... possibly... probably... had reached the peak of the Essence Refining Realm? Isn't this far better than Li Shenzong of that time? "Has this kid's cultivation level begun to rival mine?" General Han felt his mouth dry and his eyes were slightly confused. There is a kind of joy that is both gratified and proud. There is also an indescribable feeling of frustration that comes from within myself. He finally understood why the boy was so calm when facing the challenge from Xu Dingye, the Little Divine Sect! Because this kid already has the ability to fight against the Little Divine Sect, and even has a hope of winning! "No wonder this kid was so fearless that he dared to charge straight into the inner city that night!" General Han closed his eyes slightly. After a long time, he opened his eyes. He laughed and whispered, "The younger generation that Han values and cultivates is three times better than Li Shenzong's favorite disciple?" He reached out and touched the scar between his eyebrows, and thought to himself, "I will have no regrets for the rest of my life." - Lu Gong's courtyard. The dark-faced man, Lu Tang, sat on the side, looking a little depressed. Zhou Kui's ability is slightly inferior to his, and he can be considered barely average in the Essence Refining Realm. But Lin Yan killed Zhou Kui easily, obviously he already had the skills of a top-notch master. "I was born in Qifeng City. Although I am not from a wealthy family, my family is not bad. I was able to learn martial arts since I was young and worship a famous teacher."
"Over thirty, but at the peak of my strength." "I met Master Lu and received his teachings. Nine years ago, I was promoted to the Refining Essence Realm." "Nine years of hard training to become an upper-class master." "This kid is not even twenty?" "Your family is poor, and you have only been practicing for a few years?" "When I was promoted to the Refining Essence Realm, he hadn't started practicing martial arts yet, right?" "Are you standing shoulder to shoulder with me now?" Lu Tang grabbed a flower, pulling off petals one by one, and kept muttering to himself: "Since Tang was born, why did Yan have to be born..." "Are you done being depressed?" Mr. Lu sat at the side and said, "Go boil some water so I can make a cup of tea." "Didn't you just finish a pot of wine? Drinking too much and peeing too much is not good for your health and will damage your virility..." Lu Tang responded unhappily. "I am already so old, what do I need to be so masculine?" Lord Lu picked up the teacup and threw it over, saying angrily, "Lin Yan will probably be here soon, go prepare the tea." "He comes to drink tea?" Lu Tang said dissatisfiedly, "Then I don't want to make tea for him, lest people say that I, Lu, deliberately make friends with geniuses and curry favor with him... It will damage my reputation if it gets out." "What kind of reputation do you have? You just think that your decades of hard training are not as good as others who have practiced martial arts for only a few years." Mr. Lu waved his hand and said dimly, "But he will be promoted to the Qi Refining Realm faster than you... I think he can give you some experience in 'Refining Essence into Qi' in the future." "what?" Hearing this, Lu Tang perked up and said, "We haven't finished drinking the tea that Lu Changsheng sent us before we left, right? This well water isn't very good. I'll go to Niujiao Mountain and get some mountain spring water!" "You have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and your attitude changes pretty quickly." "What are you talking about? I, Lu, have always respected Master Wu." "Why haven't you been so enthusiastic when he came to the hospital in the past?" "We are all family, why should we be polite to each other? But he got promoted this time, so it's a happy event, so of course we have to make a cup of good tea and cook a good meal to celebrate." Lu Tang happily carried the bucket, hummed a little tune, pushed the door open and went out, and couldn't help muttering: "It seems that it is not bad to have a genius who can walk in front of me and give me some experience..." Mr. Lu looked at his back, smiled and shook his head. He immediately took out a booklet from his arms and placed it on the stone table. He stroked his beard lightly, waiting for Lin Yan to come. - at the same time. Lin Yan is already at his second brother's house.
After lunch, I took a shower. The little white ape has revealed its true form and is standing nearby. The two little kids excitedly pulled one side of their wings and laughed loudly. Only the little white ape was howling and struggling, clinging to the clothesline with both hands. "I am your uncle... the teacher sent here to teach you how to read and write!" "I am a teacher, not your pet... Let me go... Let me go quickly... You traitor, you are betraying your teacher and ancestors!" Soon, the clothesline was pulled to the ground, and the little white ape failed to struggle and was dragged into the utility room. The screams became more miserable, as if someone was being tortured. "Is that a monster?" The second brother Lin Lei asked with a complicated expression. Monsters and evil spirits are strictly prohibited in the city! For normal people, evil spirits are extremely unlucky and frightening. Lin Yan smiled and said, "It's a little demon that has been recognized by the Heavenly Supervision Department. It has been reported to the temple and is considered a domesticated one... We just keep it as a pet at home, and there's no need to say much to the neighbors." "Domesticated?" Lin Lei frowned, but didn't say anything more. He just changed the subject and said, "The city has not been peaceful in recent days. I heard that many important people have died. Even the head of Linjiangfang has been arrested." Then he warned: "A Yan, you must be careful and cautious when you work in the Tianjian Division." "Don't worry, second brother. I'm always very careful in what I do." "That's not bad. I heard that your flag bearer has been promoted one after another and is in charge of great power." Lin Lei said, "He thinks highly of you, which is a good thing, but my second brother is always worried." "What's there to worry about?" "I'm afraid he'll rely on you and force you to kill people and capture the big shots in the city." "The Inspector of Impermanence usually kills people himself." Lin Yan's eyes flashed with a strange look, and then he said, "I'm just running errands." "That's good." Lin Lei breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "By the way, in the past two days, someone said he wanted to buy our old house and offered fourteen taels of silver." "Oh?" Lin Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Fourteen taels? Grandfather saved up money for half his life to buy that piece of land and build a small tiled house. It must have cost him hundreds of taels, right?" "Money is a small matter. The main thing is that we can't sell our ancestral home. It has been the foundation of our family for three generations. I, your second brother, plan to renovate it in the future." Lin Lei frowned and said, "But I heard that many people have been forced to sign and seal. Now they have nowhere to live and can only become refugees, waiting for the expansion of the new city..." At this point, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he said: "In this kind of world, how can ordinary people survive if they lose their homes in the city? They are simply killing people, how hateful!" "..." Lin Yan was about to speak when his face froze. He looked at his second brother, his eyes unable to stop revealing astonishment.
At this moment, he actually felt that there was a wisp of energy flowing in his second brother's body. In a trance, he even felt that this was the true Qi that only those in the Qi Refining Stage could possess! "Alei, I bought some sweet potatoes. Come and help me carry them in." Just then, the second sister-in-law's voice came from outside. "Coming." The second brother quickly stood up and trotted out. Suddenly he stepped on the clothesline. With a thud, he fell flat on his face. "..." Lin Yan retracted his gaze and thought to himself: "It seems that my second brother cannot be a hidden master..." He couldn't help but look in the direction of Mr. Lu's courtyard with a strange look on his face. What exactly did Mr. Lu pass on to my second brother in recent days that caused there to be energy flowing through his body? Now that I think about it carefully, there are vaguely some traces similar to Mr. Mirror in Liuzun Temple? He thought for a moment, stood up, called back the little white ape, and said to himself, "After lunch, it's time to go see Mr. Lu." (End of this chapter)
