The beautiful land in the south of the Yangtze River, the imperial state of Jinling.

With green water on the winding path, he handed over the Zhulou.

Horses' hoofs flew out of the drizzle and flew out of the mud, and there were open plains and rolling hills in front of them.

Chu Yunsheng urged the horse to move forward, and when he looked into the distance, he could see the misty rain, the sky was blue and blue, and the river was heading east. In the vertical and horizontal fields, there are large paddy fields stretching green and green, and there are also faint traces of smoke from cooking, scattered into the sky and rain.

With this scenery, you can see that you have entered the boundary of the south of the Yangtze River.

After half a month of trials and hardships, we finally arrived.

At first glance, the Jiangnan in Daxia is actually not too different from the Jiangnan in Chu Yunsheng's impression.

It includes the fertile soil of Huaiyang, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and annexed Jiangzhou and Huaizhou. Since ancient times, it has been known as a land of fish and rice, a granary in the sky, and has countless reputations and legends. The rich and beautiful scenery can be found in all seasons, the lingering charm of ancient temples and relics is still there, the mist and rain are falling, and the river is full of blue and lotus.

The pen and ink of the literati and poets are mostly here, and the disasters of war and beacon fire are rarely affected. The iron chains are connected, the mountains are beautiful, and the scenery is not as magnificent as the north, but it has the beautiful and beautiful style of Pan Cang, which attracts people. linger.

"After passing Shanbai County, which is ten miles away, it is Jinling. Once you enter Jinling, you have truly arrived in Jiangzhou and Jiangnan."

The two horses walked side by side, Xie Chengyun raised the hat on his head, looked in front of the road that gradually opened up, and said.

The sound of hoofs slowed down.

Chu Yun said: "The sky is late, if you hurry up, you may be able to reach the county seat. Shanbai County is quite close to Jinling, although the Ning family is a family of Jinling, they will try their best to manage the water gang within the range. Shanbai County, but there is no guarantee that there will be no hidden forces in the county.”

Xie Chengyun swept Chu Yunsheng's eyes with a smile, and said, "Chu Chu is an old man's words, it's not like a stunned young man who walks the rivers and lakes for the first time."

"The Ning family is only a second-rate family in Jinling City, and they have a disagreement with the Jiangzhou Zheng family and the Bai Family Shui Gang. If they wanted to gain a foothold, they voted for my Xie Family. All forces have penetrated, and Shanbai County is no exception. Before this time, I investigated the Ning family, be careful, first find a nearby village or post station to rest, change clothes, inquire about news, and then Do other things."

Biquge

Chu Yunsheng nodded slightly.

He was not surprised that Xie Chengyun made this decision.

During this period of time, he thoroughly understood Xie Chengyun's temperament. Although Xie Chengyun has a gambling temperament, he is surprisingly slanted, but most of the time, he still acts cautiously and carefully, and calculates every step of the way.

And Xie Chengyun said that the investigation of the Ning family was the main purpose of the two of them rushing to Jiangnan.

The Ning family is an aristocratic family in Jinling, and its power is limited to Jinling City. It is on a par with the Zheng family, which has occupied most of Jiangzhou, and the Qingshan Temple, which controls the entire Huaizhou. It is not as strong as it is. Although it is not strong, The sphere of influence is huge, and the Hundred Waters Gang is connected with the Great Xia court.

According to the usual practice, the Ning family should, like many small forces in the south of the Yangtze River, invest in these big forces and gain backing.

However, the head of the Ning family had a very bad relationship with the Zheng family's Hundreds of Water Gang because of some grudges and hatreds when he was young, and he did not agree with the Qingshanguan's rules of conduct, so he went to other people. The side forces, ‌‌, chose to vote for the Xie family in Shangjing and became a vassal of the Xie family.

The head of the Ning family's name is Ning Tiancheng, nicknamed "Lengyue Handao", half-step Dingdan, in charge of the famous sword Lengyuedao on the weapon spectrum, and can be regarded as a well-known master in Jiangzhou.

His son, Ning Shouduo, was injured and attacked and fell into a coma after a martial arts competition a few days ago.

The Ning family searched for a doctor and found a desperate solution, so they sent a sealed letter to the Xie family and asked the Xie family to send a famous doctor in Beijing for treatment.

This letter may be nothing if you look at it alone, but when it is placed in the same place as the assassination of Xie Chengyun, it shows something special, and you can't help but think about it.

In particular, Chu Yunsheng heard from Xie Chengyun about the Xie family's investigation into the assassination before leaving the capital, and felt that the secret letter from the Ning family was not a coincidence.

According to Xie Chengyun, the assassination of Yudan was not due to the instigation of any force behind it, but just that Yudan encountered a high reward mission in the black market, and his money was tempting, so he took the risk.

The female snake, the rouge tiger, was armed with a secret technique, and fled to death without getting too many clues. It can be seen that they are different from Yudan in that they did not receive a reward.

And the reward offered by the black market was not to take Xie Chengyun's life, but to ask him to take heavy damage, and then when he resisted vigorously, he took the opportunity to feed him a pill.

The Xie family searched for the pills from Yudan, summoned a family physician, and studied it carefully, and found that it was just an ordinary tonic, as if it were anything special.

In the end, the Xie family found clues in the Jackdaw Pavilion, which they said they didn't know, and learned that this pill is very likely to be an adjuvant for a secret method. With the secret method, it can transform ordinary people into ordinary people. To be a puppet, to be at the mercy of others, can be described as quite bizarre and vicious.

It's just that the history of this pill pill's secret method, as well as more clues about the assassination bounty, can't be traced.

At this moment, a secret letter from Jinling Ning's family arrived at the Xie family.

The situation of the young master of the Ning family, Ning Shou, was somewhat similar to the transformation of the puppet described by the secret method.

It was just that Xie Chengyun had just been assassinated, and the Xie family had just found out about the secret method of the puppet, and the secret letter of the Ning family had arrived. It was such a coincidence that one had to wonder if it was intentional or a trap.

Therefore, when the famous doctor and Xie Jia Dingdan took a boat to Jiangnan, Chu Yunsheng and Xie Chengyun went by land, disguised themselves, avoided the eyes and ears, secretly rushed to Jiangnan, and wanted to investigate secretly.

Since it is a covert investigation, it is not appropriate to startle the snake.

Shanbai County was right in front of them, and the two of them didn't plan to enter the city immediately.

The drizzle continued, and the trail was muddy.

The two of them couldn't get out of the way, and in the misty rain and twilight, they saw a village built by the river.

The houses in the village are low and low, and the eaves and corners are continuous with thatched grass. The sound of roosters and dogs barking can be heard in the distance, which is a very common farmhouse scenery.

There were only a few things that made Chu Yunsheng feel weird. At this time, it was a dark evening, when every household should start a fire to cook. Except for a few wisps of cooking smoke, there were actually more people in the whole village. When the fire was lit, the village at the head of the village did not find any villagers who had worked and returned to work. The village was so large that it seemed unreasonably empty and deserted.

This village is near the official road, and the fields and crops are very good, so it can never be an empty village. But at the time it seemed to be sparsely populated and rather odd.

"Something's wrong."

Xie Chengyun frowned.

Chu Yunsheng reined in his horse and held down the short knife on his waist.

Gradually, as the two approached, the sound of Sizhu playing and singing faintly floated in the misty wind and rain, as if they were setting up a stage to sing an opera.

"Sing on a rainy day?"

Xie Chengyun was slightly surprised.

The two rode their horses to turn around a few households at the head of the village, and followed the sound to the vicinity of the river bank.

The field of vision here is steep and wide, and the vocals gradually become louder.

Looking around, a simple high platform was built on the bank of the river. Several people wiped their faces and wore masks, singing loudly and dancing on the platform. On the edge of the stage, there were dwarfs playing and singing, and there was a big drum with two blood-red patterns on the bottom.

At the bottom of the platform, hundreds of villagers gathered in a disorderly manner, all of them crawling on the ground.

Around these villagers, there were actually ten yamen servants, who seemed to be guarding them.

This is a big show, but it is better to say that a strange sacrifice is being performed, the demons dance wildly on the stage, and the stage is solemn and depressed.

Chu Yunsheng sounded like Xie Chengyun, and the horse avoided the corner of the wall and looked at the river bank in the distance.

Soon, the big show on the stage was over, and a slender old woman wearing a black and red cloak, leaning on a snake-headed cane, walked to the stage step by step, looking like a goddess.

After standing still, the goddess raised her hands high and roared in an old voice. Immediately, the strong man beat the big drum, and the loud sound shook the river bank.

The humming sound of the station was quiet, and the villagers lowered their heads even deeper, as if in awe.

"On the twenty-fifth of the seventh month, offer sacrifices to the God of the River and offer sacrifices!"

The goddess waved her hands and crutches excitedly, knelt down facing the river, and shouted loudly.

When this sound came out, the villagers who were crawling at the bottom finally couldn't hold back, and a heart-rending cry was heard.

In the midst of this cry, the masked people on the stage jumped one after another, and ten villagers who were kneeling on their feet were tied down and bound.

The ten villagers, old and young, hugged each other and cried, calling their father, mother, grandson, and grandson, like the sons of a great family. Among them, a strong man wanted to resist and escape, but was kicked by the servant next to him. Kicked down, with a knife on his neck, he didn't dare to move.

"You bastards! Over the years, I, Li Fusheng, have helped you a lot in the village. You dare to say that whoever is busy and rushing to farm the land, I didn't go to help the seedlings. My house is leaking, and I didn't help build the tiles? Today-today, you want to harm my whole family, lose my conscience, and my mother's conscience!"

"What bastard goddess, bastard river god, they are all cannibalizing monsters!"

"Let go of me! Let me go, you are all bad people, you can't die well, you can't die well!"

"Second grandpa! Second grandpa save Nannan, Nannan doesn't want to go to the river!"

"I, Li Dabao, have been ashamed all my life. I have done good deeds and accumulated virtues. This river god is blind, and this god is blind!"

In the shrill cries and scolding, many villagers could not bear it, but they could only bury their heads deeper, trembling as they watched the big family, who was tied into a zongzi, being taken to the bank of the river.

There was a small boat moored on the shore, and several people in masks threw the men, women and children onto the boat one by one, stuffing the boat full of dangdang. Two other people acted as boatmen and boarded another slightly larger boat, pulling the boat to the middle of the river.

The drizzle made the middle of the big river thick with fog. After the boat arrived, the two men in masks pulled the ropes apart, leaving the boat parked in the river, while he rowed the boat back to the shore.

Chu Yunsheng slowly pressed the two knives tightly.

"It's actually a human sacrifice."

Xie Chengyun stared at the boat floating on the river, and said coldly, "The Daxia court and the various sects and sects forbid this method of offering sacrifices. I didn't expect that in a village so close to Jinling City, there is still this tradition. The government did not stop it, but instead dispatched yamen to help the emperor to abuse him, so he should be killed!"

Having found out the situation on the shore, the big boat on the river should slowly pull back, and neither Chu Yunsheng nor Xie Chengyun plan to go again.

Xie Chengyun took the lead and flew up, fiercely drawing out his sword.

"what!"

"Someone, someone flew over!"

While the people on the riverbank were distracted by the sword light, Chu Yun swept the water with a graceful voice and landed on the big boat, waving the back of his sword. The two masked people only flickered, and they couldn't react in time, and they all fainted with pain in their necks.

Retracting the knife and grasping the oar, Chu Yunsheng quickly turned the bow of the boat, rowed toward the middle of the river, and relocated to the vicinity of the boat.

On the small boat, the Li family, who had already been desperate to help, and could not even make a sound when they cried, all widened their eyes in astonishment, staring at the big boat returning from the fog, terrified.

The rain was too heavy, and they didn't see what happened to the big boat, and they didn't know that the big boat was going back suddenly.

Suddenly, a timid and hoarse child's voice sounded on the boat: "Mother, no, it's not a monster, it's a fairy, it's a fairy brother..."

When the voice sounded, the other people on the small boat had already seen the people who were breaking through the fog on the big boat.

That man was not the faces or masks they were familiar with, but a stern young man in a famous blue robe, a mink hat, a pair of knives on his waist.

"What immortals? Grandpa Wang said that apart from officers, soldiers and bandits, those who lead the army are heroes who walk the rivers and lakes! This young man is so handsome, he is definitely not a bandit officer, but a hero, definitely a hero, a hero save us. It's gone!"

The sturdy young man, whose name was obviously told a lot of storytelling, had bright eyes and a big smile on his face with snot and tears, and shouted: "Master! We are here! We are here!"

The children in the family rejoiced, but the adults did not dare to easily believe that someone was really helping them, and they were all wary.

Chu Yunsheng didn't care about the reaction of the people on the boat. When he reached the vicinity of the boat, he directly transported Qinggong and swept to the bow of the boat. He stared at him with doubtful eyes, and drew a knife to cut off the roots. Strong rope.

When the rope fell to the ground, the family was so important that they finally believed that Chu Yunsheng was indeed the hero who rescued them. He was about to kowtow to Chu Yunsheng: "Thank you hero! Thank you hero for saving your life!"

The infuriating qi floated, Chu Yunsheng stopped the family's worship, and said, "The river is rushing, the rain and fog are getting bigger, you can't stay here for a long time, quickly row the boat ashore."

The force of the shape stopped the legs that were about to bend, and the Li family was even more in awe and dared not say anything more. Paddle, and work together to hold the big boat to the shore.

When he could see the river bank in the distance, the old man named Li Dabao who was holding the oar in the bow showed hesitation and fear, and whispered to Chu Yun: "This son, are you really the hero that Jianghu said? Then you have a lot of knowledge, do you know if there is a river god in our river?"

"No, it's not that the little old man is afraid of anything, it's just that if there is a river god to keep our ten villages in good weather, then our sacrifices escaped today and angered the river god, then the villagers around our village, are they right? I'm about to suffer... Little old man, little old man, I have never done anything wrong in my life, and somehow I chose our old Li family..."

"No one, no one..."

The sweaty mess of hair stuck to the forehead of the old man, he was wearing a patched jacket, his complexion was dark, old and wrinkled, his yellow eyes were a little sour, and he blinked, Just this drizzle melted into pieces.

His words were filled with panic, and as he spoke, his voice gradually became lower, his chapped lips were pursed, and his head was rowing.

Chu Yunsheng's robes had been taken off, and they were draped over the two children. The wet rain and mist swept over him, making his heart gradually feel stuffy.

He was paddling with the old man on the other side of the bow, and after hearing the words, he was silent for a moment, and then slowly revealed a shy smile, saying: "The old man should have heard, there are people who have been killed in this world. The wandering immortals known as the gods of the land exist. Since there are immortals in the world, there must also be gods, but the immortals are all from the Jianghu knights, and even if they become immortals, they will not forget to hoe The strong help the weak, and the heroes fight.”

"This place is not far from Jinling, nor is it far from Huaizhou Qingshan Temple. At your age, have you heard that the gods of Jinling and Qingshan Temple lived by eating living people?"

"It doesn't make sense."

Chu Yunsheng smiled slightly, and said solemnly: "If the river god of this river really wants to feed on living people, then it is not a god, but a monster, a demon, and this demon should invite someone. Slaying, not offering sacrifices and offerings. Even if you are a demon, you can't control the wind and rain. Instead of asking for it, it is better to ask for the Tao of Qingshan Temple, and it is better to ask for yourself."

The old man was stunned, the palm of his hand holding the oar was cold, but it was gradually clenched tightly.

Chu Yunsheng did not open his mouth to deny the existence of gods and immortals, because the peak of military power in this world is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people, and these villagers are confined to their corners, and they are rarely literate, and they do not understand Zibuyu. According to God's words, gods and demons are deeply ingrained in their minds. If they open their mouths and deny it completely, calling them gods and demons in the world, the old man will probably only think that he is a mad and arrogant person, and will not listen to a single word.

Don't talk about gods and monsters, just talk about good and bad merits and demerits, it is the appropriate persuasion and comfort.

"Yes! Hero is right!"

The old man didn't make a sound, but the sturdy young man sitting at the hatch of the boat said loudly: "Grandpa, when the aunt's family was thrown onto the boat, I said that there were no gods in that river, and if there were, they were also monsters, eat them. Human monsters! Immortals are good gods, how can they eat people, you still don't believe it!"

With a sigh, the old man lowered his head, wiped his eyes, and didn't answer.

This is not the first time that this live sacrifice has been shown, but over the years, don't know how many innocent people have been harmed.

Chu Yunsheng's heart was full of anger, his true qi was shaking, he couldn't help raising his hand and caressing the short knife around his waist.

After a while, the big boat docked, and Chu Yunsheng took the Li family to the boat.

On the river bank, Xie Chengyun had already taken care of everything. The goddess and the servants were all knocked out and tied up. The villagers stood up and crowded around the open space in front of the high platform. It was a means of being intimidated by Xie Chengyun Fang's sword qi, his eyes were fearful, he did not dare to make a loud noise, but they all stared at the goddess and people with hatred.

Some children hid behind the adults, picked up the small stones on the ground and secretly smashed the witch's head.

More and more old people who were over fifty years old came out and talked with Xie Chengyun, it was obvious that they belonged to this village.

Chu Yunsheng passed by, and after a few steps, he heard the village sigh, and said cautiously, "This son, it's not that we really like this live sacrifice, it's really our ten villages and eight townships. , you must worship the River God, lest the River God be really unhappy and cause a disaster."

Some of the villagers also responded in a low voice: "The crops have been good in the past two years and the harvest is sufficient, but it is all due to the Lord River. If the Lord River is angered, there will be disasters in the past few years. , how can you bear it?"

"Look, Li Dabao's family has returned, oh my god, how can this sacrifice be brought back? Isn't this grabbing food from the mouth of Lord River God!"

"How many people were willing to make sacrifices in the past? People have also made sacrifices well. Aren't they afraid that our eight townships will suffer disasters? This year, it's our village's turn, and Li Dabao is not happy anymore. If disaster strikes, he will be a sinner first!"

Some people scolded angrily: "It's not your family who dares to go to Dahe as a sacrifice!"

"Master River God, I think it's a monster! It's best to ask the Dao masters to kill the monsters and eliminate the demons!"

"This living sacrifice has been gone for a hundred and eighty years. It has been brought up in the past two years. Who knows what An's heart is..."

In the face of this piece of Whispering Village's remarks, Xie Chengyun didn't get annoyed at all, but still smiled warmly and politely.

He didn't take the village's words, but said: "Old man, Da Xia won the crown of heaven, so he abolished the tradition of offering sacrifices to river gods in various places, and made it a violation of the law. As a villager, you shouldn't be unaware of this. If the river god is really angry because of the lack of live sacrifices, then the court will be the first to suffer, and it shouldn't be you. "

The village was shocked and waved his hands again and again: "How dare you talk about the court!"

The surrounding villagers were silent, apparently unaware that the court had any laws or laws regarding offering sacrifices to the river god.

"Does this mean that the deity of the river god will be beheaded?"

Someone whispered: "But this river god was made to be sacrificed by the county magistrate!"

Xie Chengyun glanced at the crowd inadvertently, and said with a smile: "Old man, this was originally abolished by the imperial court, and it's impossible not to say it. Even if the crime does not warrant raiding the house and beheading the head, it is not enough. It's not like petty theft, if you are accused, you will definitely be in prison."

The villagers were horrified and went to jail to tell them, who had been honest all their lives, that it was a big crime like the sky was falling.

The village's expression also changed greatly, and he said with a bitter face: "This son, this is not the master of the old man! Look at these yamen servants, these quick arrests, these are all sent by the county magistrate, just to see We, the people from the ten and eight townships, have honestly completed the sacrifice of this river god, how can we little people dare not to obey?"

Xie Chengyun said: "Oh? Is it the river god sacrifice made by the county magistrate?"

The village nodded, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "You don't know this young master, this sacrifice to the river god has indeed been abolished long ago. Our Baituo Village is no exception. It's just that about two years ago, there was heavy rain in the Wenshan Mountains. It didn't stop for several days and nights. The Wenhe River swelled up and washed away the crops and villages."

"At that time, there were all refugees in the vicinity of Shanbai County, and even a piece of bark had to be robbed. It was not easy for the rain to stop, the water to recede, and a plague broke out, and too many people died."

"The plague also subsided, and the county magistrate took this goddess Jiang to the edge of the Wen River and called all the villages on both sides of the Wen River to tell us that the flood was caused by Wen River. The river god of the river was angry and sent the gods to punish us. If we want to have a good life in the future, we must sacrifice to the river god to make the river god happy."

"The Goddess Jiang decided that every month, she would select households in these five or six villages, including the old and the young, all of them would be sacrificed. The boat will be sent to the middle of the river, and a toothbrush will be given to the river god."

"This is to kill!"

"We don't believe in evil either, and we don't want to. The first time the chosen family packed up their bags, they were about to run away. They didn't run far before they were carried back, and everyone died. The corpse was so swollen that it was drowned. Some people said that they were going to Jinling to file a lawsuit, but they were still carried back to the corpse. They were drowned. Everyone was afraid and dared not run away."

"Slowly, it's settled like this..."

Chu Yunsheng listened and slowly frowned.

There is definitely something wrong with the magistrate of Shanbai County. But even if this sacrifice to the river god is accomplished, what benefit will it bring to the magistrate?

Moreover, Baituo Village is not far from Shanbai County, so the county magistrate is not afraid that the Ning family, the Zheng family, the Baishuigang or the Qingshan Temple will find out if they do this? Moreover, this move can last for two years, I am afraid that these parties are either hidden or not fully known.

Regardless of the former or the latter, we all know that this matter is not simple, and it is definitely not a simple sacrifice to the river god.

Xie Chengyun also thought of this, but he did not continue to ask the villager, and the villager obviously didn't know more.

"Xie Mou and his friend went to Jinling City, but this goddess brought it here and sue the county magistrate on your behalf. Jinling City County is just and honest, and will definitely be able to give you justice. I also have martial arts skills. Don't be afraid of intimidation, if you guys can trust it, Xie can write a written complaint and explain the reason."

Xie Chengyun said: "The old man does not need to worry about the embarrassment of the county magistrate. I have heard on the way that the magistrate of Shanbai County has had some accidents and has to be replaced in two days. I must have no time to investigate the township. of."

This remark is thoughtful and appropriate, and it is barely enough to kick the hearts of the villagers of Baituo Village back into their stomachs.

The village also revealed a suspiciously happy look.

He hadn't heard of the change of county magistrate. It was only an hour's journey from Baituo Village to Shanbai County. It was easy to tell whether it was true or false. So he also relaxed for the most part, and when he looked at the goddess and servants, he no longer had any fear, and was full of resentment and anger.

The villagers were no longer afraid, and they were no longer afraid of their hands and feet, and rushed up to face the goddess. back home.

In a short time, the river bank was empty and deserted. Except for Xie Chengyun and Chu Yunsheng, there were only the wicked people who were lying on the ground.

The stage on the bank collapsed and was smashed, and the blood-red drums fell into the mud, no longer mysterious and strange.

After clearing up the people, Chu Yunsheng and Xie Chengyun, in order to prevent collusion, went to both sides, and woke the gods and servants to interrogate the sacrifices to the river gods.

The goddess and the yamen are not hard-headed, and they spit out the whole thing after a little coercion and temptation.

It's just that the goddess and the yamen don't know much about it. They only know that the Shanbai County magistrate manipulated this sacrifice to the river god to loot money.

According to what the goddess said, she followed the instructions of the county magistrate. When choosing sacrifices in these several villages, the first choice was those rich landlords.

After choosing, she did not announce the news, but sent a post to mention the family. The family was so terrified that they would be willing to spend large sums of money to avoid disasters.

After the money falls into the pocket of the county magistrate, the saying of eliminating disasters and avoiding disasters will spread among the wealthy and rural gentry. In this way, every month when choosing an offering, there is no need to send any more posts. These wealthy households will tacitly give away large sums of money, only to hope that the quota of sacrifices will not fall on them.

And this county magistrate is also very shrewd. When selecting candidates, he investigates clearly. He will never touch those who are connected with the powers of the rivers and lakes or the famous families. Except for those who can't be provoked, the rest of the rich It can be said that households need to peel off layers of skin every month.

During the two years of offering sacrifices to the God of the River, the county magistrate has earned a lot of money from the people.

"Kill people's lives, just for money?"

Xie Chengyun asked.

Surprise flashed across the timid face of the goddess, and she whispered: "It's not for money, why else? Kill a few pariahs and exchange tens of thousands of taels of snowflake silver, there is no such a good deal... I was selected, They went to the river to feed the fish, but we can't blame us, who made them unable to pay for their money and buy their lives..."

"Master, you shouldn't give them a head start, it's just this grass-roots thing, cut the stubble and the stubble, it is every day to sacrifice to the river god, but it's not over yet, you are here What are they worried about?"

Even though the goddess said so, Chu Yunsheng did not think that it was only for wealth and silk, and the magistrate of Shanbai County dared to make such a commotion in the eyes of the forces of all parties.

There must be other hidden secrets in it, but it is not known to the goddess and the servants.

However, as far as this is concerned, there are hidden secrets in it, and they can't be covered up. In a prosperous world, people are regarded as hateful and abhorrent as weeds and pigs.

If in normal times or in other worlds, Chu Yunsheng would definitely find a way to bring this corrupt official to justice, but at this time, it is not necessary to do soAn ancient man used martial arts to violate the ban, Xie Cheng Yun Fang had already told the villagers in Baituo Village that the county magistrate would be replaced in the next two days. Chu Yunsheng knew that he was going to kill.

He didn't intend to go to a court that might not come to justice.

Killing the people who should be killed, protecting the things that should be protected, and doing the things that should be done are the heroes in Xie Chengyun's heart.

"It's getting late, so it's time to take a walk to admire the moon, so as to live up to the beauty of Jiangzhou."

Inside the hut, Xie Chengyun lit a candle and said softly.

Chu Yunsheng stared at Xie Chengyun Candlelight's eyebrows and said lightly, "Aren't you afraid of revealing your whereabouts?"

Xie Chengyun leaned over, leaned on Chu Yunsheng's shoulder, stroked the dark blue belt with his palm, landed on the scabbard, flexed his fingers, and knocked Chu Yunsheng's short knife.

With this low voice, Xie Chengyun laughed and sighed in a low voice: "I'm afraid, why not? I'm more afraid of being demoralized for the world and for selfish interests than the danger of exposing my whereabouts. Light and fair, the longer the rivers and lakes go, the more lost their hearts. Moreover, it is me who is afraid, not my sword."

"As long as you act carefully, the whereabouts of you and me will definitely be exposed."

Chu Yun said in a low voice, "And the moonlight tonight must be extremely beautiful, it should be rewarded."

Xie Chengyun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled softly.

The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, killing people and setting fires.

Anger and injustice, ask the sword in your heart.

Tonight this month, it really should be rewarded.

After resting in the house for half an hour, it was completely dark.

The Li family warmly invited Chu Yunsheng to Xie Chengyun to enjoy the hospitality of slaughtering chickens and ducks.

After drinking and eating, the Li family all rested in peace, and Baituo Village gradually became quiet. Every household turned off the lights and fell into darkness.

The night was getting darker, and the drizzle stopped unknowingly.

Chu Yunsheng and Xie Chengyun changed into night clothes, masked, and did not ride a horse.

At night, Shanbai County has fallen asleep. Except for the occasional dog barking and chirping, it is completely empty and quiet.

In the latent shadow of Chu Yunsheng and the two, like two fluttering leaves, they landed in the Shanbai County Government Office.

At that time, the two of them had already interrogated the county magistrate's residence and appearance from the mouth of the yamen.

As soon as they climbed over the courtyard wall and entered the small courtyard, the two found that the rest of the rooms in the courtyard were dim, except for the study room, which was still lit. in the library.

It's just that they don't know if it's the illusion of the two of them, but there seems to be a bloody smell wafting from the closed window of the study.
