"Go and invite Commander Shi." Immortal Sect monk surnamed Zhang waved to the Immortal Spirit disciple.
The disciples of the Xianling Qiheng Gu Sect didn't say much and immediately took the order and left.
"Although Junior Brother Shi doesn't have many people, he is a city guard after all. Once he comes, this matter will be easy to handle." Senior Brother Zhang said with a sinister smile, "The thief hiding in the shop is now
He should be dead."
"The evil thief died here, and the jade slip must have fallen into the hands of the shop owner Zheng Chen. Our plan will be completed successfully." Junior Brother Li understood and said with a smirk.
"That evil thief thought he could escape from the prison of the city lord's palace by using the secret technique of golden cicada. How stupid he is!" Senior Brother Zhang said with disdain.
"Indeed, the city lord's mansion is so guarded, let alone a mere late-stage Immortal Spirit cultivator borrowing secret techniques. Even if a Immortal-stage cultivator gets inside, don't expect to be able to escape. We let him out deliberately, and he has completed his mission.
Already." Junior Brother Li also had a cold expression.
Not long after, the disciple of the Ancient Immortal Spirit Qiheng Sect who had left earlier returned, bringing with him a dozen city guard monks wearing city guard armor.
Among the more than a dozen city guards, there was a monk who was also a monk in the early stage of the Immortal Sect. He raised his hands to the two monks in the Immortal Sect of the Henggu Sect and said: "The two senior brothers are stuck here. I finally think of my little brother."
This man was a city guard commander, and together with hundreds of people under his command, he was in charge of several nearby streets.
"Junior Brother Shi, the two of us were ordered to hunt down a thief who robbed a high-grade jade slip from my sect disciple, but the thief hid here. Due to city regulations, we did not dare to attack by force. We can only trouble
Junior Brother is on the move." Senior Brother Zhang said with laughter.
In fact, everyone already knew what was going on, including Commander Shi, who had just arrived. Everyone was originally a monk of the Henggu Sect, so naturally they were thinking in one place and working hard in one place.
"Two senior brothers, are you sure that the evil thief is hiding in this shop?" Commander Shi asked solemnly.
"Of course I am sure, otherwise what are we doing here?" Senior Brother Zhang said with great certainty.
"It's not that I'm timid, but there are two other masters in Tianyuan City who are here to supervise and supervise. If our city guards help our sect, we will definitely attract attention. Although the masters from the other two families don't usually come out for activities,
But he is happy to see us make mistakes." Commander Shi said cautiously.
"Junior Brother Shi can rest assured, when the evil thief broke in, we two saw it with our own eyes." Junior Brother Li agreed.
"That's good!" Commander Shi nodded and signaled his men to touch the many restrictions at the entrance of Wanfu Residence.
After a few moments, the restriction at the entrance of Wanfu Residence was completely lifted, and Zheng Chen walked out.
"Haha, the Henggu Sect is indeed a super powerful sect. It can even command the city guards at will. I don't know, Lord City Guard, are you here to drive away these people who wantonly block the shops? Or are you here to help them intimidate the small shops?
Where is it?" Zheng Chen said leisurely and calmly.
"I heard that your little shop is harboring thieves, so I came to search." Commander Shi straightened his tone and said with full official authority.
"I wonder if the thief that the adults call him has a document of conviction from the city lord's palace?" Zheng Chen asked again. Just using some time, Zheng Chen read a lot of city regulations. Almost every shop has a written city regulation.
of jade tablets.
When Commander Shi was asked this question by Zheng Chen, he immediately frowned. For today's action, he had indeed not received an order from the city lord's palace. He only did it privately to cooperate with the sect, so he only brought a dozen trusted city guards with him.
"The city guards are guarding the city. They can arrest the thieves first and then investigate and decide the crime." Commander Shi replied calmly. He and others were very familiar with the city's rules, and there were many loopholes in them to follow.
"What if the thief is not in the shop?" Zheng Chen asked again. After reading those city regulations, Zheng Chen felt at ease, and the previous embarrassment was lessened.
"You will know if you are there or not," Commander Shi said confidently.
Just now, under the leadership of Senior Brother Zhang and Junior Brother Li, dozens of Henggu Sect masters surrounded the entire Wanfuju. Their immortal knowledge was like an extremely dense net, scanning this small area.
Confident that nothing hiding inside can escape silently.
The most important thing is that in the eyes of Senior Brother Zhang and Junior Brother Li, Ma Xiaochao has died at this time.
Zheng Chen did not stop the city guards and allowed Commander Shi to lead his men to conduct a search.
Naturally, Commander Shi and others found nothing and Ma Xiaochao was not in the store at all.
This fact made Commander Shi and others look ugly, and Senior Brother Zhang said to Zheng Chen: "We saw the thief break in with our own eyes, and at that time, Your Excellency also said that he wanted to ask questions first
After asking, if that person is a thief, you will never protect him. Now that there is no trace of the thief here, you must have destroyed the body or moved the person."
"Really? Why don't I remember such a thing?" Zheng Chen said shamelessly.
"You!!" Senior Brother Zhang stared, a little angry. When they came after Ma Xiaochao, they mobilized a large number of troops and frightened other passers-by and people in other shops to stay away. Except for a group of Henggu Sect monks,
Indeed, no one saw Ma Xiaochao rush into Wanfu Residence, and no one heard what Zheng Chen said before.
As for Senior Brother Zhang, Junior Brother Li and others, they did not have the ability to turn back time and go back to that episode. They had always been confident and never thought that Zheng Chen would deny it, so they did not deliberately produce evidence.
But now the other party is cheating, which makes it difficult for them to deal with it.
"Master City Guard, since there are no thieves here, shouldn't you drive away these people who are rudely blocking the door of the business? Although the business of the small shop is not very good, if they keep blocking it, the business will not be able to survive.
Continuing, we have never paid taxes in the city." Zheng Chen said in a strange tone.
Commander Shi's expression became even more ugly. At this time, due to the arrival of the city guards, passers-by felt that the matter would no longer become a big deal, so many passers-by and merchants gathered around.
The Henggu Sect monks are used to being arrogant in Tianyuan City, and many people don't like him. However, due to his strong background, they dare to get angry but dare not speak out. Now they are staring to see how the city guards will deal with him.
"Hmph! Do you think it's enough to move the evil thief away? That evil thief is carrying a jade slip specially made by our Henggu Sect."
After Senior Brother Zhang made a cold remark, he immediately began to recite a difficult-to-speak incantation.
Zheng Chen still smiled.
Somewhere outside the city, in the fairy mansion that turned into dust, there was a sudden explosion, and the jade slip that made Zheng Chen suspect that Zun-level skills were burned into it exploded strangely.
At the door of Wanfuju, Senior Brother Zhang suddenly frowned after he stopped incanting.
