"Why collude with the remnants of the Meng family?"
"ah……?"
In a huge building in Mengye City, there were small rooms separated from each other, and Zi Chen was taken to one of them.
There is a city guard here.
This is the opening dialogue for both parties.
The city guard frowned, "Pretending to be stupid?"
"My lord, this is unjust."
Zi Chen cried bitterly: "I came from Jizhou and just came to Mengye City. How can I be a remnant of the Meng family?"
"Your friends have all recruited, and you still don't want to?"
The city guard looked gloomy, "So, do you want to die?"
Zi Chen immediately said: "Sir, I have evidence to prove innocence."
"Forged evidence will be punished with an additional penalty!" the other party said indifferently.
This was completely unreasonable. Zi Chen's mental power spread, and the same scene appeared in other rooms.
"If you want to prove that you are not a remnant of the Meng family, ask your family to send money."
The city guard in the room said to a man covered in blood.
Zi Chen remembered that he was also one of the passers-by.
"Sir... I have no money." The man turned over with difficulty, knelt there, and begged: "I was stopped on the road... twice... I have nothing left, and my family has no money. Please let me go."
"Inform family or friends, or die!" The city guard looked indifferent, "Two roads, choose one!"
"As a member of the caravan, if you want to prove that you are not a remnant of the Meng family, just take out the money."
There were also city guards who attacked those merchants.
The room was full of people, and almost all the city guards were doing this kind of thing.
Outsiders, those who have no friends or family, will be killed directly after draining all the resources in the storage bag.
Someone tried to resist and killed a city guard, but a strong man soon came over.
Zi Chen had never seen such a scene before. The dignified city guards were supposed to protect the safety of a city, but now they turned into bandits.
Ignoring the real gangsters outside, they carried out robberies under the guise of investigating the remnants of the Meng family.
What's the difference between this and the black dragon?
Is this the custom of Qingzhou?
No wonder several big families act without scruples.
Scene after scene, Zi Chen's eyes gradually became colder and his aura overflowed.
The city guard suddenly shivered and turned around to look. There was no window here, so how could the wind come in?
kill?
Zi Chen was very confused.
All the city guards who appeared in the room deserved death, including the city lord here.
If he went on a killing spree today, his identity would be exposed, and several major families would be alert by then.
If the whole trend in Qingzhou was like this, would he kill every city he passed by?
At this moment, Zi Chen suddenly heard Chen Fan's voice, "Sir, I don't have money now, but my family has money. When I get back, I will definitely be able to send money within three days. It's not just me."
I also gave it to Zi Chen. He is from Jizhou, a new arrival, and he doesn’t have much money."
Zi Chen didn't understand why Chen Fan wanted to help him?
But for now, he plans to wait and see what happens.
The city guards did not give him any more trouble, because the city guards who had previously interrogated Chen Fan came in and locked the two of them in a room.
At the same time, I was told that each person would have to pay five hundred spirit coins for one day.
In the previous inn, the price was only 100 per day.
"Is the whole Qingzhou like this?"
After the city guards left, Zi Chen asked?
"Although it is quite difficult in normal times, I can still get through life, but I am just a little frustrated." Chen Fan said: "Situations like Meng Yecheng's without a bottom line are actually not common."
The two were imprisoned here with no one to supervise them at all, but the money still had to be collected.
"Is there no one to take care of it?"
Zi Chen was speechless. This city was not small, with millions of people living in it.
Chen Fan smiled slightly and said, "Of course someone is in charge."
it's dark.
Zi Chen took out some dry food and asked the other party if he wanted to eat.
"Of course."
Chen Fan was not polite, took the dried meat and said: "Where's the wine? Give me a jug."
Zi Chen took out a bottle of wine.
It seems that once here, Chen Fan is no longer cautious.
After eating and drinking, Chen Fan lay down and fell asleep.
There is no need for a night watch here either.
Late at night.
Zi Chen felt that the room seemed to be distorted.
I took a closer look and found everything was normal.
It's like an illusion.
This is already the second time.
He looked at Chen Fan, who was lying with his back to Zi Chen, as if he was sleeping deeply, breathing evenly.
At the same time, there was another Chen Fan standing outside the city lord's mansion.
There were guards guarding the door of the city lord's mansion. Chen Fan stood at the door and watched for a moment, but no one noticed.
He walked forward, and his body actually passed through the real gate. Along the way, he saw the patrol team again. The two sides passed each other, but these guards still did not react at all.
Finally, he came to the room where the city lord lived.
He walked straight through the heavily guarded gate and walked through the wall into the mansion.
"You haven't found anyone yet?"
A majestic voice sounded, it was the current lord of Mengye City.
Zhou Hanfei.
"I have asked them all and investigated the details. They are either businessmen or passers-by. There are no remnants of the Meng family," the deputy said.
"Trash, all the Black Dragon people were killed overnight, but you don't even have any clues." Zhou Hanfei's face was ashen and he threw down the account book in his hand, "It's just that the person is dead, and the money can't be found. I support him."
What are you for?"
It records the money handed over to the Black Dragon by the caravan and passers-by. It is a very considerable amount and was made overnight.
Unfortunately, Black Dragon died and the money disappeared.
Although the Meng family's legacy remains, Zhou Hanfei does not rule out the possibility of someone taking advantage of the situation.
The deputy wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and took out a storage bag, "Sir, these were taken from those people today."
Zhou Hanfei opened it and took a look, "Have you exhausted all methods?"
"Don't worry, sir. The city guards we have trained have rich experience and are guaranteed to squeeze every living person to the limit. Those businessmen have lost several layers of skin and will probably never come again.
"
As for the dead, of course they are dead.
Zhou Hanfei waved his hand and signaled the deputy to leave.
Chen Fan just watched quietly there, and neither of them noticed anything unusual.
Regarding the content of the conversation between the two parties, Chen Fan's expression did not change much. He seemed to have known for a long time that all this was done by the city lord.
After the deputy left, the city lord got up and went to the back room.
In front of a row of bookcases, lightly press a mechanism, and the bookcases slowly move sideways, revealing a wall.
But it's just a wall.
Then he formed seals with his hands. The sealing method was complicated and complex, and the seals fell one after another.
On the wall in front, ripples suddenly appeared, and a portal emerged.
Zhou Hanfei glanced around and walked inside.
Chen Fan followed behind.
The bookcase behind him was re-closed, and there was a row of stairs going down, with luminous beads placed on both sides, illuminating the stairs.
When he reached the end of the stone steps, Zhou Hanfei straightened his clothes before moving forward.
"Master, I'm here."
Chen Fan stood at the door and looked forward, looking very cautious.
There is a large stone room in front, with some furniture placed, but no one lives in it.
There is an altar in the middle, with countless lines intertwined together to form a strange magic circle.
This is a kind of magic formation that has never appeared in Kyushu. Even the experts in the formation are not familiar with it.
A ball of black and white light above the altar was slowly rotating.
When white light shines, spiritual energy is abundant.
And when the black light surges, there is an indescribable feeling of evil.
"Master."
Zhou Hanfei came closer, saluted towards the black and white light, and called softly again.
The black and white light slowly woke up, and a voice came from it, "Here we come."
Zhou Hanfei immediately took out the spiritual storage bag he had used earlier and said, "Master, the spiritual money is ready."
The other party hummed.
Zhou Hanfei immediately poured out all the spiritual coins in the spiritual storage bag and piled them around the altar.
Densely packed, overflowing with spiritual power.
These are all spiritual money, the lowest grade, and there is not even a high-quality spiritual source crystal.
"Yes, after refining it twice, you can refine the Spiritual Source Crystal. Are you prepared?"
"Back to Master, after repeated squeezes, this business road will soon be depleted. When the time comes for us to operate as a family and occupy such a treasured land, money will inevitably flow in. By then, the Spiritual Source Crystal used by Master will not be a problem at all."
"Well, after my aura is completely transformed, I can personally teach you the method of cultivation. Not to mention the true meaning of Chengshan, even if it is a divine gate, it is nothing. I will climb to the highest place in the world!"
"Thank you Master!"
Zhou Hanfei stepped back.
Light lit up above the altar, and among the black and white light, white light also began to flicker, and the spiritual power in the spiritual money began to be absorbed by the altar.
Suddenly, the black and white light said: "Who? Who did you bring in?"
"No."
Zhou Hanfei was stunned for a moment, "Master, I'm the only one."
"impossible!"
White light suddenly shined, illuminating the surrounding area.
At this moment, the stone room was like a bright sun.
The white light travels around and illuminates all the stairs. The entire underground is as bright as day, and the shadows have nowhere to hide.
Zhou Hanfei glanced around, he couldn't even see his own shadow, and immediately said: "Master, there is really no one, it's just me."
In fact, this scene had happened more than once, and Zhou Hanfei was already used to it.
"No, this smell is unusual!"
The next moment, the white light disappeared and black light enveloped the surrounding area.
The ground turned pure black, and in this case, Zhou Hanfei could not see anything.
I muttered more and more in my heart, I can't find anyone with white light, but black light can do it?
"I found you!"
A ray of white light was like an arrow, cutting through the darkness and shooting towards the door.
puff!
A voice sounded.
I saw a person appear out of thin air.
It was Chen Fan.
His left shoulder was penetrated.
"Is there really someone?!"
Zhou Hanfei's face changed drastically and he shouted: "Who are you?"
Chen Fan glanced at Zhou Hanfei coldly, and his figure disappeared in an instant, like a phantom.
Zhou Hanfei was stunned by this hand.
He was obviously still alive and injured before, so why is he missing now?
"He is in the city, follow me to find him."
Another black light flew out and sank directly into Zhou Hanfei's body.
Zhou Hanfei's breath immediately became gloomy, and his eye sockets turned black.
He walked forward, stretched out his fingers to pick up some blood from the ground, and smelled it between his noses, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes, "Little mouse, I will find you."
A wisp of black energy blended into the blood.
This drop of blood seemed to come alive and began to squirm.
The hand shook.
Blood flew out from the fingertips and flew towards the door.
It's like guiding the way.
With just one step, Zhou Hanfei walked out of the stone room.
The second step is to step out of the city lord's mansion.
In the third step, he stood in the air and looked down at the city.
That drop of blood flew straight to the interrogation room.
At the same time, Chen Fan, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up, stood up and said: "Zi Chen, save me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a violent aura coming from the outside world, like water pouring from the nine heavens, surging.
