Lin'an City is the central city of the entire Donglin County. Its scale is majestic, second only to Daqian Capital. At least it is the second largest city Gu Cheng has ever seen.
Before Gu Cheng could take a closer look at the pedestrians walking on the street, Cui Zijie took him to the headquarters of Jingyesi in Donglin County.
Compared with the Jingyesi headquarters in Heyang Prefecture, the Jingyesi headquarters in Donglin County is undoubtedly more majestic and brilliant.
Right in the very center of Lin'an City, there are dark attic mansions located among them. Among the two statues of Tingting standing at the door, their eyes are blue and blue, and they are actually carved with two gems.
Also, although the buildings of Jingyesi are all dark, this is the symbol of Jingyesi, and it is also the rule of Jingyesi.
But the Donglin County Jingyesi headquarters is black with a hint of gold.
For example, seemingly inconspicuous corners such as the corners of the eaves and door nails are decorated with pure gold, which adds a sense of luxury while being solemn.
This also corresponds to Gu Cheng's previous impression of this governor, greedy!
He covets wealth, success, and even relaxation and leisure, so what he hates most is when the people below cause him trouble.
Just as Cui Zijie and Gu Cheng walked into the headquarters of Jingyesi in Donglin County, they heard a voice laughing strangely: "Fat Cui, I heard that your subordinate showed his face this time?
Tsk tsk, the governor of Zhenfu has repeatedly issued orders to make everyone feel more at ease during this troubled time, but as a result, something like this happened in Heyang Mansion. It seems that you are not only fat, but also very courageous."
Cui Zijie's smile suddenly darkened, and he turned around and cursed: "What happened to me being fat? Did I eat your rice? Chen Mazi, mind your own business. There are still a lot of bullshit things in Shangnan Mansion that have not been resolved. There are also Are you free to make fun of me?"
The man who spoke was the exact opposite of Cui Zijie. He was tall and thin, with a lot of pockmarks on his face, which made him look a bit oozing.
Chen Mazi sneered: "I have a lot of things to do, but at least I haven't caused any trouble to the adults.
Fatty Cui, go in, the master will be here soon, I hope you can continue to use your words by then."
Cui Zijie snorted coldly, did not continue to argue with Chen Mazi, and led Gu Cheng directly into a meeting hall.
At this time, there were still several warriors in the meeting hall, and they should all be practitioners under the command of Donglin County.
Gu Cheng stood behind Cui Zijie and waited. After a quarter of an hour, the governor arrived, but his appearance surprised Gu Cheng.
Although it was the first time for Gu Cheng to see the governor, from the words of Cui Zijie and others, Gu Cheng could already figure out what kind of person he was.
If Gu Cheng were to describe him, the word "foolish" could definitely vividly sum up this governor.
As the envoy of a county and town, he holds a high position of power, but the other party only cares about his own interests, deceives the superiors and deceives the inferiors, and creates the illusion that the entire Donglin County is peaceful.
For him, as long as his official position is secure, everything will not be a problem.
Moreover, the other party seems to be weak, but in fact it is only external, but internally it is true to its words and does not tolerate any disobedient words.
That's why Cui Zijie told Gu Cheng before that he must never contradict the other party.
In Gu Cheng's imagination, such a being should be a fat-headed, foolish and greedy person, but in fact, the other person can be described as having extraordinary magnanimity.
The governor's name is Xie Anzhi, and his name is very elegant, and his appearance is the same. He is about forty years old, square and handsome, with a wisp of beard, neatly groomed.
He didn't wear Jingyesi's black armor. At the level of Zhenfu Envoy, it was not compulsory to wear black armor.
Therefore, Xie Anzhi only wore a purple and gold robe and a black cloak embroidered with gold patterns behind him, which represented his status as the envoy of Jingyesi.
This kind of demeanor would be believed by some people, not to mention that he was a governor, but also that he was the head of a powerful faction or a relative of the emperor.
"Meet the adults!"
Xie Anzhi sat on the main seat, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said slowly: "Where is Gu Cheng, the night watchman of Heyang Mansion?"
Gu Cheng stood up quickly: "My subordinate is here."
Xie Anzhi looked at Gu Cheng, nodded slightly, and said calmly: "You are very young, not bad, and he is a good material.
It’s true that young people are arrogant, it’s understandable, but that’s not the reason why you disobey my orders!”
After the last two words were spoken, a faint coercion fell. The irritated Gu Cheng wanted to burst out his true energy to resist, but he endured it.
Cui Zijie had a saying that Gu Cheng always remembered: Never go against the governor's command.
Cui Zijie stood up and was about to say something, but Xie Anzhi looked over and said calmly: "Cui Zijie, you have nothing to do here.
You were not in Heyang Mansion when Gu Cheng took action. Anyone who does not know is not guilty. I will spare you this time.
But he will naturally explain his affairs, and there is no need for you to interrupt!"
Cui Zijie gave a wry smile and sat back down. It seemed that things couldn't go better today.
Although a small sect like Daoxuan Sect is somewhat famous in Heyang Mansion, it is nothing in the entire Donglin County. Even Xie Anzhi has never heard of this name.
The key point of the problem is not that Daoxuanzong was destroyed, but that during this period, Gu Cheng destroyed Daoxuanzong and was stabbed in front of Xie Anzhi.
When he was discussing matters in Lin'an City before, Xie Anzhi said that there was something wrong with the rumors in the capital during this period, so everyone below should be more honest and don't cause trouble. If anything happens, they should suppress it.
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, something like Gu Cheng was reported, which in Xie Anzhi's view was simply a provocation.
So this time it can only be said that Gu Cheng was unlucky and was caught. If he couldn't come up with an explanation that satisfied Xie Anzhi this time, he might not be able to pass the test so easily.
"Bring the people from Daoxuanzong here."
Xie Anzhi gave instructions, and someone immediately brought a disciple of Daoxuan Sect.
As soon as the disciple of Daoxuanzong saw Gu Cheng here, he immediately knelt on the ground and cried: "Sir, it's him! Gu Cheng, the night watchman of Luo County, attacked our Daoxuanzong for no reason, destroyed the sect, and destroyed my inheritance. Please help me, sir."
Make the decision!"
This disciple escaped long before Zhong Lin and others died, or Zhong Lin and others specifically ordered him to come to Ancheng to complain.
The entire Donglin County cultivators know Xie Anzhi's character, so they are still thinking that after blocking Gu Cheng, they must go to Lin'an City to make the matter bigger, and then make Gu Cheng unable to bear the consequences.
Walk.
As a result, they all went to see the Lord of Hell before they saw Gu Cheng's unlucky day.
Xie Anzhi pointed at the disciple of Daoxuanzong and said calmly: "Tell me about it, the suffering owner came to ask for justice."
As he said that, Xie Anzhi picked up the teacup as if he was getting ready to watch a show.
Gu Cheng turned his gaze to the disciple of Dao Xuan Sect and said, "You said that I destroyed your Dao Xuan Sect, where is the evidence?"
The disciple of Daoxuanzong said angrily: "Evidence? The entire Daoxuanzong was destroyed and the mountain gate was burned. I saw these with my own eyes. Do I still need evidence?"
Gu Cheng nodded: "Oh, I understand. So, you yourself are the evidence?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Cheng's right hand transformed into a black zombie arm. The thick black zombie arm pinched the Daoxuan Sect disciple's neck and broke his neck in an instant without even letting him scream.
.
Throwing the body in his hand on the ground, Gu Cheng said calmly: "Now the evidence is gone."
Everyone was stunned there, including Xie Anzhi.
He raised the teacup and put it to his mouth. After a while, he slammed the teacup to the ground with a loud bang.
"In your eyes, do you still have me as the governor?"
The expression on Xie Anzhi's face was extremely gloomy.
Even when he questioned Gu Cheng just now, his expression was very indifferent. What he wanted to see was Gu Cheng's explanation.
In the end, who would have thought that Gu Cheng actually killed the person on the spot, in front of him!
"No."
Everyone present was stunned. Chen Mazi even suspected that Gu Cheng and Cui Zijie had a grudge for killing his father and taking his wife, so he planned to drag this boss in to die together today.
In Donglin County, no one has ever dared to provoke Xie Anzhi, the governor.
But then Gu Cheng lowered his head, cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "Although my subordinates have long heard of Your Excellency's reputation, this is the first time I have met him, so naturally I want to keep Your Excellency in my heart, not in my eyes."
.
Just now, my subordinate did what I did, and I asked you to take offense. I really don’t want to cause trouble to you.
Immortal Dao Xuanzong, the ghost realm is expanding, or it is a ghost realm formed by ordinary people. The causes and consequences of this matter are known to the local county magistrate and police.
After all, civil servants and us are not in the same system. When the news gets out, it doesn't matter if we are punished, but I am worried that your reputation will be damaged, sir.
Now that everyone in Daoxuanzong is dead, my lord, you can spread the word that Jingyesi of Donglin County is not afraid of power and treats practitioners and ordinary people equally, and we can gain a better reputation.
By the way, my lord, my subordinates have already collected and sorted out the property gained after the Daoxuan Sect was overthrown. These things are not something that I, the Jingyesi Division of Heyang Prefecture, can take. Please send someone to register them and confiscate them directly."
After saying this, everyone was stunned. They didn't even know how to describe Gu Cheng.
Especially Chen Mazi, his eyes almost popped out of his head.
Where did Cui Zijie find such a... strange person?
The black ones were turned into white ones by him. Did they cooperate with him to destroy Dao Xuanzong to suppress the governor?
