Gu Chen and Luo Feng stood in the crowd, looking at Zheng Jinan with a smile on his face, and welcomed Liu Tong to the top, and the two sat down one on the left and the other on the right.
In the entire Huaiyang City, only Liu Tong, the magistrate with Daxia's backing, could be on an equal footing with Zheng Jinan, which shows how powerful he is.
"This Liu Tong is the magistrate of Huaiyang City, but he colludes with people like Zheng Jin'an. He only seeks his own interests and makes countless money. He has no regard for the life and death of the people. He deserves to be killed!" Luo Feng looked at Liu Tong in the crowd, with murder in his eyes.
The meaning comes out.
Gu Chen, who was standing aside, glanced at Luo Feng. He didn't expect that this flower-picking thief was really murderous, and he was so courageous that even the court official wanted to kill him.
"Brother Gu, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reveal Zheng Jinan's true face in public today." Luo Feng said with some regret.
In the past few days, he has been secretly searching for evidence, but Zheng Jinan is too cunning, and his work is impeccable, leaving no traces. None of the warriors he targeted survived.
Although Luo Feng collected some evidence, it was unable to fully prove that Zheng Jinan was a remnant of the Evil Heart Sect.
In fact, that day outside the ruins was the best opportunity, but unfortunately Zheng Jinan was too cautious and only used Xiexin Sect's techniques when killing people, so that no one could suspect him at all.
Luo Feng felt furious when he thought that Zheng Jinan could still be at large, and at the same time countless innocent people would die tragically. If it weren't for his lack of strength, he would have wanted to kill Zheng Jinan on the spot.
"It doesn't matter, he won't survive today." Gu Chen said lightly.
"Huh?!"
Luo Feng was shocked when he heard this and said, "Brother Gu, what do you mean by this?"
Gu was silent and didn't say much.
Seeing Gu Chen's appearance, a vague guess emerged in Luo Feng's heart, but he couldn't believe it.
At this time, with Zheng Jinan’s order, the birthday banquet officially began.
During this period, people kept toasting to Zheng Jinan, talking about his contribution to Huaiyang City over the years and some of his past achievements.
Everyone is willing to listen to compliments, and Zheng Jin'an obviously takes advantage of them. Although these people in the world may look rough on the surface, they are all people with delicate minds. Those who have no brains in the world will not survive today. p>
Not only Zheng Jinan, but also his son Zheng Yan was praised by countless people. Young people and promising people are all underestimation, but Zheng Yan was just short of being praised to heaven.
There were even more compliments for Zheng Yan than Zheng Jinan. After all, in their view, Zheng Yan was a young talent from the Sunset Sword Sect. He was famous among the stars and was famous all over the world. In the future, as long as Zheng Yan could remember them and help them a little,
It's easy to become rich and wealthy.
Hearing countless people complimenting his only son, Zheng Jinan obviously enjoyed it more than they complimented himself, and he couldn't stop smiling.
Even the county magistrate Liu Tong said that Zheng Yan had great potential in the future, and the implication was that he intended to betroth his daughter who was about to be married to him.
Zheng Jinan laughed, and the two chatted happily.
A long time passed, and after three drinks, at the climax of the birthday banquet, Zheng Jinan suddenly stood up, and all the sounds in the entire banquet hall suddenly stopped.
"Today is my birthday. I am very happy to have so many friends from all walks of life and Mr. Liu come to congratulate me on my birthday. But today, I have some news to announce."
Zheng Jin settled down for a moment and said: "Today, I am already fifty-four. My family was poor when I was young. I came out to travel in the world at the age of thirteen. It has been forty-one years now. In the world, I have been beaten and killed.
After so many years of killing and intrigue, I have become a little tired of it. From now on, I just want to be an ordinary old man, raising flowers and trees, and then making some contributions to Huaiyang City. This life will be enough.
”
"Therefore, I announce today that from this moment on, I, Zheng Jinan, will officially wash my hands in a golden basin and will no longer interfere with anything in the world."
As soon as these words came out, the people in the world immediately said: "Master Zheng, you are an upright man in the prime of life, how can you retire from the world?"
"Master Zheng must not do it."
"Brother Zheng, if Huaiyang City doesn't have you, it might become chaotic, and all sorts of gangsters might show up, so please think twice." Wang Cheng looked worried.
Hearing this, Zheng Jinan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. I'm old. This world belongs to young people. I won't fight with those young people. Mr. Liu is responsible for the affairs of Huaiyang City. I believe Mr. Liu can do it."
If the governance of Huaiyang City is prosperous, the people's lives will become more and more prosperous."
When Liu Tong heard this, he smiled slightly, stroked the goat's beard with his hand, and said nothing. It was obvious that he had already known about Zheng Jinan's plan to wash his hands in the golden basin.
Seeing that Zheng Jinan had made up his mind, Wang Cheng nodded with a look of regret and said: "Okay, since Brother Zheng is so determined, I can't say much, but in the future, wherever I can find it useful, I will
Wang Cheng will never refuse!"
"Me too!"
"So do we!"
Many people in the world responded, and the smile on Zheng Jinan's face grew stronger.
"Yan'er, from now on, this world belongs to you young people." Zheng Jinan turned around and said to his only son.
Zheng Yan stood up and said solemnly, "Father, don't worry, the child will not let his father down."
Zheng Jinan nodded, and then shouted: "Come on, come up to the golden basin!"
The servants on the side were already ready. Upon hearing the order, they came forward with a gold basin.
There is an unwritten rule in the world of martial arts. Once the golden basin is washed away, all the troubles in the martial arts world have nothing to do with this person, and enemies can no longer retaliate.
Zheng Jinan just wanted to use the golden basin to wash his hands and hide behind the scenes so that he could achieve his goal faster.
At this time, a clear voice suddenly sounded.
"Master Zheng, if you want to wash your hands in a golden basin, you have thought about the innocent people you brutally killed. There are still many whose bones are still cold!"
No one would have thought that someone would dare to cause trouble on such an occasion. After hearing this, everyone present looked at him angrily.
In the corner, Gu Chen has a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, eyes like morning stars, loose black hair, and a black dress. He looks outstanding and has an outstanding temperament, which is very incompatible with the people on the side.
He stood there holding a wine glass, looking directly into Zheng Jinan's eyes, without the slightest hint of timidity.
"Where do you come from, a child with a bad mouth, who dares to speak nonsense on such an occasion? Which family in Huaiyang City do you belong to? Didn't your parents teach you about respect and inferiority?!" Before Zheng Jinan could speak, Wang Cheng couldn't sit still.
, pointed at Gu Chen’s nose and started yelling and scolding.
Zheng Yan's eyes suddenly turned cold when he saw that Gu Chen dared to cause trouble on his father's birthday.
Hearing this, Gu Chen looked at Wang Cheng and said calmly: "You are really a good dog raised by Zheng Jin'an. You are almost dead, but you are still loyal to your master. Do you know that in Zheng Jin'an's eyes, you are nothing but a good dog?"
It’s just bait, no different from pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.”
Hearing this, Zheng Jinan's pupils shrank slightly, but his face was still full of smile. He stretched out his hand to signal Wang Cheng to sit down, and finally looked at Gu Chen.
"Why did this little brother say this? I'll let it go if you tell me. Brother Wang is my best friend for many years. You don't know anything. How dare you say such rude words? I miss you at a young age.
Not long after entering the Jianghu, I will bypass you this time, but you are not welcome here, so you should leave quickly."
Zheng Jinan waved his hand and gave the order to expel the guests.
"Yes, get out!"
"Get out!"
Upon hearing this, many people in the world echoed the words, with sarcastic eyes and bad attitudes, telling Gu Chen to get out of here.
Seeing this, Luo Feng frowned and looked at Gu Chen, wondering how he would deal with it next.
Despite all the accusations, Gu Chen remained calm and unchanging. He ignored the group of people who followed the crowd and looked at Zheng Jinan.
At this moment, Gu Chen's eyes suddenly became blazing, and his words were loud and clear, saying: "Zheng Jin'an, you have killed countless people and are full of evil. You secretly practice the demonic skills of the evil heart sect of the demon sect, devour the hearts of your fellow tribesmen, and strengthen your own body. You can say it yourself.
