The night is dark and the Yin hour is approaching.

State Yamen Courtyard.

The old man was sitting in the high hall with a peaceful expression.

The robe is made of silk, with a loose cover, and the cuffs are inlaid with gold and silver inscriptions, depicting various sparrows and luan birds, their appearance is smart and lifelike.

The silk blue belt was clasped tightly around the waist. As he raised his hand, a pair of flawless jade charms shook and collided, and the bells jingled crisply.

At this time, there was a burst of hurried steps outside the courtyard gate, and the young man walked in hastily, bowed, and said in a rather anxious tone: "Master! The Zhao family has moved!"

"Um."

Nodding slightly, the old man remained unmoved, as if compared to the tea in his hand, the people and things mentioned in the boy's mouth were completely insignificant.

I saw him picking up a red sand tea cup, scraping off a layer of foam in the cup, taking a sip, smacking his lips and showing a happy expression.

“Elegant and tranquil, the camellia is still delicious to drink.”

The old man commented in a slow voice. After taking a sip, he felt a thin trace of it rippling in his mouth and a slight sweetness in his throat.

In terms of fragrant and fragrant camellia, it is not comparable to Dahongpao, nor is it like the imperial Longjing tea that returns fragrance to the tongue and teeth, but it has more soothing effect on the throat, which makes him particularly fond of it.

The old man is Sun Guangce, who is over fifty years old. Although he likes tea, he has never liked tea tasting.

He heard that there are ten kinds of tribute tea in Jiangnan, but in his eyes, no matter whether it is tribute tea or not, it is just a tasteless thing. You can only know whether it is good or bad by tasting it. Everyone has their own feelings, so there is no need to talk about the final product. He has to draw a line.

Up and down pros and cons.

All said and done, it's just to attract people's attention and gain benefits from it.

Therefore, Sun Guangce prefers light and crude tea from the mountains compared to those crafted by craftsmen in every aspect from planting to picking.

In his opinion, mountain tea tastes better than tribute tea.

"This tea is just like a human being."

After waving the boy away, he put down the tea cup and stood up to straighten the wrinkled corners of his official robe.

"There are always some people who are overly harsh and pursuing, and ignore the common people for their own selfish desires. Even if it seems like a wise man has everything planned out at the moment, there will inevitably be mistakes left in the end."

The old man came to the gate of the state government office, looked into the distance with his hands behind his hands, and listened to the gradually turbulent undercurrent under the silent night. A trace of ridicule was outlined on the corners of his lips under his white beard.

If it were so easy to take advantage of your wishes, I would have been treated like a dog by the local officials for decades.

He turned around, about to add another fire to the quietly bustling Luo City—boom!

"?!"

The sudden flash of dazzling light was horrifyingly bright at night. The brilliance shone for a moment, but before it dimmed, it exploded with a violent roar!

It penetrated the gold and cracked the stone, causing Sun Guangce, who was about to make arrangements, to tremble and almost fall to the ground.

The servants and guards around him were also shocked, but fortunately they quickly recovered and did not forget to help him.

Not caring about anything else, the old man hurriedly looked around, but there was only a faint trace of white left in the sky.

Thunder from plain ground?

In the past few days, thunder roared in the sky in Luocheng every day. Although there was no wind or rain, it was familiar to everyone present, including Sun Guangce.

Only this time it seems different.

"That one just now was..."

Thunder and lightning struck brightly, with unrivaled power. Sun Guangce recalled the fleeting dazzling white light, his heart trembled, and he looked towards the location where the light was strongest.

Surprisingly, this is where the Zhao family is.

Is this an act of wrath? He thought to himself, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was reasonable. He had seen the recent changes in Luo City, and secretly collected some evidence about the Zhao family. It can be called a model of wrath, and he is waiting to close the net.

Then settle it with them.

"It's best to hit Zhao Yongsi, the head of the Zhao family, directly on the head. This will save me the time to convict and imprison him."

In fact, Sun Guangce is not sure how far he can go against these big families. Although the evidence has been sealed in the state government, the four big families not only have huge power in Luo City, but also secretly collude with the Kanghe Song family.

, he had his own faction to protect him in the imperial court.

The Sun family in Hejian, where he was born, has declined and is difficult to take care of.

"Good chop, good chop, a few more strokes will make it even better!"

Unfortunately, this thunder was probably just at the right time. Sun Guangce would not really put his hope in the 'Master Tian', so he straightened his back again and continued to arrange his manpower according to the plan to close the net on the troublemakers.

On the other side, all the forces including the White Lotus Sect, the Aristocratic Family, and even the Zhao family, who was struck by a majestic thunderbolt through the sky, could only regard it as a rare chance.

However, what they didn't know was that at this moment, a bronze mirror had been fully activated and was hanging high in the sky. After several simple adjustments, it was seen that the combination of Mountain Collapsing Technique and Thunderbolt was indeed effective.

Chen Yu no longer held back and poured all the magic power in his body into the Wanfa Mirror.

Silver light surged, countless lightnings brewed, and they rushed towards the villains who had been screened in advance.

Boom!

…

"Senior brother?"

In an inn, Li Mubai looked at his senior brother standing by the window wearing his outer robe.

Bright light suddenly appeared, sometimes illuminating his face with a faint silver color.

In my ears, there was roaring thunder and ups and downs.

It's like a tidal wave that keeps surging into my mind.

He called again, and when he was woken up by the thunder, he saw that the other party had been looking out of the building blankly, not knowing what he was looking at. At the same time, he was also curious that the movement today was indeed a bit loud, and he didn't know what the scene was like outside.

It's probably raining heavily, but the sky is still clear during the day. How can the weather in Los Angeles change so quickly?

Li Mubai came to his senior brother's side and also looked out.

Boom!

A touch of silver shine.

He was stunned and his eyes seemed to bulge.

This this……

Outside, the sky is misty.

A ray of lightning struck the clouds, meandering down from the sky and hitting the building not far away.

The light faded, and the roar of the clouds slowly came over.

One, two...thousands of lightning strikes crazily, intertwined with silver light, like an endless ocean overturned on the ground, crackling and exploding, the sky is so majestic that all those who look up are suffocated.

Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

Electric silver snakes swim and entangle themselves in all directions!

It's like being trapped in a cage with thunder and lightning. You can't break free and you don't dare to move.

Countless thunder and lightning erected in the city, spreading one after another. In the distance, Li Mubai saw a stream of fire igniting, which was then scattered in all directions by the roaring and spitting thunderbolts, and was quickly extinguished.

Seeing such a shocking scene, Li Mubai was dumbfounded when he first saw it, and it was difficult to regain his consciousness for a long time.

Until the senior brother next to him patted his shoulder, waking him up from the shock.

He pointed outside and looked at his senior brother, his cheeks couldn't stop trembling, and his two limbs were trembling, even for a martial artist like Li Mubai, let alone the ordinary people in the city.

The rest of the warriors had seen it earlier, most of them had closed their doors, and some wanted to run away, thinking that a natural disaster was coming to Luo City. However, the thunder outside was getting louder and louder, and there was a strong burning smell in the air.

I was so frightened that I couldn't move forward.

Facing Li Mubai's horror, the senior brother also shook his head and looked helplessly, feeling as much fear in his heart as he did.

This scene was too terrifying. The blazing light and electricity burst out into a silver storm, sweeping across the entire city. However, they in the city were as powerless as ants and could only bear it silently.

"Let's take a look first. Maybe it's a natural disaster, or maybe a Taoist Lord or Immortal is really angry..."

Gulu, his throat rolled, Li Mubai thought he didn't have a big heart like his senior brother, and after muttering a few words in frustration, he returned to the bed - in addition to the four people who came to the city first, two more people came to the door later, four men and two women.

, divided into three concierges for temporary residence.

He was separated with his senior brother. At this moment, he wanted to calm down and sleep, but as soon as he closed his eyes, the sky was filled with silver thunder, rushing towards him with an unstoppable force.

That night, there was no sleep in Luo City.

…

The next morning, in the early morning, the thunder that had struck for two hours finally dissipated, the sky returned to clear light, and a gust of autumn wind blew away the burnt smell floating in the city.

"What! Manager Wang was struck to death by lightning?!"

In the Prefecture Yamen, Sun Guangce, who is the prefectural shepherd, is wearing an official robe and looking forward faintly. This is a villa located behind the Prefecture Yamen. Two years ago, he gave it to an adjutant to take charge of the general management.

It can be said that the person with the largest official status in Jinzhou besides him.

Now, a group of four people picked it up from half of the collapsed house, and dragged it piece by piece on a wooden frame. It was already charred and black, and it was difficult to recognize the original shape.

Sun Guangce's eyes flashed with confusion, and servants kept coming to report the news he had learned.
To be continued...
