As soon as the news of the assassination of the Baiyu County magistrate came out, it shocked the entire Yushan County.
Such a bad thing as murdering a court official has not happened in Yushan County for how many years?
The last time I heard about this kind of thing was in Yang County, North County. I didn't expect to be encountered by Yushan County so quickly. The governor of Yushan County was very angry and ordered the county police officers to come out quickly to investigate in every village, county and city in the county.
If you catch the murderer, even if you just provide clues, you can get generous rewards.
Yushan County, Zhongshan County.
The assassination of Magistrate Baiyu has affected the entire Yushan County, and Zhongshan County is no exception.
The county government's police officer, Min Zhuang, had already been checking villages one by one to search for suspicious persons. Within the county town, major inns, brothels, and all places where people could be hiding were searched five or six times in one day.
.
The magistrate of Zhongshan County huddled in the county government office and did not hesitate to use jade. He activated the formation outside the county government office to its strongest state, and carried the protective magic weapon given by the court with him to deal with emergencies at any time.
Magistrate Baiyu was inexplicably sneaked into the county office and beaten to death. The thief may be a killer from the Demon Sect or a practitioner who hates the imperial court. If he can kill Magistrate Baiyu, he can be killed by Zhongshan County.
make.
The Zhongshan County Magistrate sat in the government office, looked at a middle-aged man, and said: "Huang County Lieutenant, I suggest you stay in the county government office. It is obviously not peaceful recently. I heard that there are also local officials in Hanyang County and Danyang County."
If someone is killed, it will be safer if everyone gets together..."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I'm just a little county captain? Even if I'm a thief, I won't take it seriously. It'll be fine."
After that, he walked out of the county office slowly.
The Zhongshan County Magistrate looked at his leaving figure with dissatisfaction. He kept Huang County Lieutenant in the county government office? Of course it was not for his safety, but it was just that Huang County Lieutenant had the cultivation level of the fourth level magical power? With such a master in the county government office,
Only then can he be more at ease.
Huang Xianwei walked out of the county government office, crossed two streets, and came to a house.
As a county captain, he did not choose to live in the county government office. Instead, he rented a small courtyard in a remote part of the county. This rent lasted for fourteen years.
He opened the courtyard door, pushed in, and saw a figure standing in the courtyard.
That figure is tall and slender. Judging from the outline, it should be a woman.
The woman stood with her back to the door, wearing a bamboo hat on her head. A layer of black gauze hung down from the edge of the bamboo hat, covering her face.
Huangxian Lieutenant looked at that figure and paused. The next moment, he walked into the courtyard, turned around and closed the courtyard door. He looked up at the woman's back, shook his head and said, "I've been waiting here for fourteen days."
Year……"
The woman turned around and her eyes fell on him through the black gauze on the bamboo hat.
There was a hint of melancholy on Huang County Lieutenant's face, and he said to himself: "In the past fourteen years, I have not had a good night's sleep. I know that you will eventually find me. I hope you will come, but I don't want you to come...
…”
"Why?"
The woman's voice was cold and seemed to contain no human emotions.
Huang Xianwei said slowly: "I have lived in too much pain these fourteen years. I hope you can free me, but I also know that if you come to me, it means you have already embarked on this path.
This is a road of no return. Once you step on it, there is no turning back..."
He looked at the woman and said: "The people who have passed away are gone forever, and the people who are alive should live well."
The woman said calmly: "Some people shouldn't live."
County Lieutenant Huang was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Some people shouldn't be alive, but... can you please let my family go? That matter has nothing to do with them."
The woman was silent for a moment and said calmly: "Okay."
"Thank you." Huang County Lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fourteen years ago, I sent them back to my hometown. I am here alone. I have been waiting for you for fourteen years, and you are finally here."
His voice was calm, with a hint of relief in it.
The woman looked at him and asked, "Why?"
Huang County Lieutenant knew what she was asking, shook his head and said: "It is meaningless to say this now. People always have to take responsibility for the wrong things they have done. Your Excellency has been so kind to me, and I am sorry...
"
He faced the woman, knelt on the ground, and whispered with a hint of relief in his voice: "I'm sorry..."
After saying that, his head slowly hung down.
At this moment, this practitioner in the fourth realm lost his three souls and seven souls.
One day later.
In the courtyard.
Yushan County Sheriff stood in front of Huang County Lieutenant's kneeling body, his face extremely gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Arrogant, too arrogant, I will not be a human being until I catch you!"
The Zhongshan County Magistrate said with emotion: "Master Huang, Master Huang, I have advised you to stay with me in the county government office, but why don't you listen? It's better now. You must have been poisoned by a thief..."
Yushan County Magistrate looked at Huang County Lieutenant's body with a hint of doubt on his face, frowning and said: "Huang County Lieutenant's death does not seem like a homicide, but rather like the soul dispersed on its own..."
Sheriff Yushan asked: "What reason does he have for doing this?"
Yushan Juncheng shook his head and said: "I don't know..."
"First kill someone, and then pretend to commit suicide. How can you hide this from me with such a clumsy method?" Within a few days, two officials under his command died. The mana in Yushan County Sheriff's body surged, and he was obviously extremely angry. He said gloomily: "
You stay in Yushan County and continue to track down the murderer. I am going to the capital of the gods. I must strictly investigate this matter and give an explanation to the people of this county!"
…
Li Mansion.
Li Mu picked up the food box and walked out of the house.
Originally, he planned to bring breakfast to the Queen the next day, but that morning, he and Liu Hanyan were entangled in the bed and missed the time, so he had to keep the crucian carp for three more days.

It was impossible for him to carry fish soup to the court. Before the morning court, he handed the food box to Lord Mei.
Master Mei opened the food box, smelled it, glanced at Li Mu slightly, and said, "You have a conscience."
In the past, morning mornings were usually filled with trivial matters and nothing major. Today, there were more unexpected events than in the past.
Officials from various places have reported that within their jurisdictions, there have been obviously more signs of Demon Sect activities in recent days, causing some unrest in various counties.
The governor of Yushan County even came to Shendu in person to report the murder of two officials of Yushan County. The courtiers were filled with indignation about this.
"Those who attempt to murder an official of the imperial court will not be spared lightly!"
"The damn Demon Sect is indeed a serious problem for me, Da Zhou!"
"One day, the imperial court will completely eradicate the evildoers of the Demon Sect!"
Some people were indignant, while others were confused: "Strange, although the Demon Sect has always wanted to overthrow the imperial court, it rarely took action against officials directly..."
An official thought for a while and asked: "Could it be that the number one scholar killed too many masters of the Demon Sect a few days ago, which triggered the Demon Sect's revenge?"
As soon as this statement came out, it triggered a new round of discussion.
"What, what's going on?"
"Don't you know? It is said that when Shangguan led them to hunt Cui Ming, they accidentally fell into Cui Ming's trap. It was the number one scholar who helped them escape, captured Cui Ming, and also killed a master of the Demon Sect. Later, the number one scholar
Lang was wanted by the Demon Sect. It is said that the Demon Sect placed a high reward on him, attracting many masters, all of whom were killed by him. He killed more than 20 people in the fifth realm alone. There were even rumors that even
The Great Elder of the Soul Sect and the Netherworld Saint Lord of the Sixth Realm all died in his hands..."
"This is too exaggerated. There are more than twenty fifth realms and one sixth realm. The number one scholar's cultivation is only the fourth realm..."
"Although his cultivation level is not high, he must have the magic weapon given by His Majesty. I heard that in Jiangyin County, there were people who saw the Queen's distraction coming. The Netherworld Saint Lord must have died in the hands of the Queen's distraction...
"
…
In the court, the officials were talking a lot, and the topic soon turned to Mo Zong and Li Mu.
Many people were shocked to the point of disbelief when they heard that Li Mu had killed dozens of powerful men in the fifth level of the Demon Sect.
There are more than twenty fifth realms. Among the hundred people standing in the golden palace at this moment, there are only more than twenty fifth realms. After all, they may not be enough for Li Mu to kill.
On the 36th and 36th counties of the Great Zhou Dynasty, all the governors and magistrates are masters of the fifth level. Their total number is only a hundred. If more than 20 of these people are killed by the Demon Sect, I am afraid that the powerful and transcendent men of the Great Zhou Dynasty will join forces to kill the Demon Sect.
Zong Lao's Nest...
What's more, in addition to the death of more than twenty people in the fifth realm, the Demon Sect also lost a branch elder and a strong man in the sixth realm. After all, if they only killed two minor officials in the court to vent their anger, then
The Demon Sect is already very rational...
Even more rational than the Zhou court.
It is simply unbelievable that such a record could appear on a practitioner in the fourth realm, but it also proves from the side how much His Majesty loves Li Mu.
She must have given Li Mu countless high-level talismans and magic weapons, even at the expense of her own cultivation, and came to help him. Is this the treatment a beloved minister should have? Even if she is a beloved concubine, it is nothing more than this.
Already?
From ancient times to the present, those emperors who are known for their stupidity have doted on their demonic concubines and demon queens. Of course, their countries did not escape the end of annihilation in the end.
More than twenty fifth-level members of the Demon Sect, including the Netherworld Saint Lord, were killed by Xiao Xiu of the fourth level. They must have felt aggrieved when they died. Even some courtiers felt that their deaths were unjust.
Because their opponent was not Li Mu, but the treasury of the Great Zhou royal family, they even speculated in their hearts that if the person who wanted to kill Li Mu was from the seventh level of the Demon Sect, the Queen might come in person...
The demon sect had so many masters die, and the courtiers were just shocked.
Two seventh-rank officials died in the imperial court, but they must be investigated strictly.
This is the principle by which the imperial court operates.
This time, the Worship Department dispatched five worshipers from the Creation Realm to go to Yu County with the Yushan County Sheriff to pursue the murderer, which is enough to show that the court attaches great importance to this case.
When Li Mu walked out of Ziwei Hall, he felt very unconvinced.
He had killed so many Demon Sect masters, which was a great contribution to the imperial court. Some bastard officials actually wanted to blame him for the death of the two Yushan County officials...
What does this have to do with him? The Demon Sect wants to take revenge, and he can't stop it...
However, if those two officials really died because of the Demon Sect's revenge, Li Mu would still feel very sorry.
These rubbish from the demon sect can come to him if they want revenge. Why vent their anger on innocent people? When he improves his cultivation a little more, equip the Talisman Sect with a stack of heavenly talismans, and sooner or later they will destroy the lair of the ten demon sects in one fell swoop.
…
…
After going to court, Zhou Wu returned to Changle Palace.
Master Mei walked in carrying a soup cup and said, "Your Majesty, this is the soup Li Mu made for you. He gave it to me before he went to court. He also asked Your Majesty to drink it while it's hot."
Zhou Wu could already smell the crucian carp and tofu soup that she liked to drink. It had been a long time since she had tasted the soup cooked by Li Mu himself. After Mrs. Mei filled a bowl for her, she picked up the spoon and took a sip.
Then, she frowned slightly and said, "That's not right..."
Master Mei said unexpectedly: "Why, doesn't it taste good?"
Zhou Wu shook her head and said, "It tastes delicious, but it's not the way he made it."
She closed her eyes and counted with her fingers, the expression on her face was a bit complicated.
After taking another sip of soup, she looked at Master Mei and said, "Let's give her a royal decree..."
Mrs. Mei was stunned for a moment, and soon knew who she was talking about. After thinking about it, she asked again: "The jade bracelet and gold hairpin..."
