Chapter 871 870 You Are Eyeing My Treasure, and I Am Eyeing Your Life.
Chapter 871 870. You are eyeing my treasure, and I am eyeing your life.
The next morning, Magistrate Zhang went out early in the morning. At the same time, everyone in the Zhang Mansion seemed to get up very early. From their words, it sounded like they were going to clean up the entire Zhang Mansion.
I just don't know why, but when Mo Cheng and Shen Xueqi left the room, they couldn't see anyone. It seemed that the servants had consciously avoided their presence.
Not only that, but at some point a table was placed in the courtyard outside the guest room, with two bulging-looking gift packages placed on it.
Mo Cheng didn't open the package to check, so the two of them picked up a package and walked towards the side door.
As expected, the old concierge who was supposed to be here disappeared, but the door was open at the same time. When Mo Cheng and Shen Xueqi walked out of Zhang Mansion, the housekeeper and the concierge appeared out of nowhere, discussing what happened to the master last night. He got angry and scolded the gatekeepers at the west gate for being drunk and drunk at the door during duty hours.
Such a sound was naturally heard by Mo Cheng, and he didn't say much. He bowed his hands to Zhang Fugong and then turned and walked towards the west city gate.
Along the way, Mo Cheng led Shen Xueqi through alleys. With his own spiritual sense, he often found the other party earlier than others, thus avoiding encounters.
When they arrived at the West City Gate, the gatekeeper was dispersing the crowd, shouting that the West City Gate would not be open before noon today and asking others to enter the city elsewhere.
After everyone dispersed, the captain of the city gate guard saw a scholar and a white-haired girl. He didn't say anything. He just picked up the drink next to him and poured it into his mouth. After a few sips, he was overwhelmed with alcohol. Down.
The other city gate guards also imitated their captain and fell to the ground drunk.
But Mo Cheng could see clearly that the city gate guards were pouring wine on themselves, probably not even a sip of it. Even when they were drunk, they poured wine on both sides of the city gate, clearing the main road in the middle.
Mo Cheng didn't bother to reveal that these city gate guards were not good at acting, so he took Shen Xueqi directly through the city gate and left the city.
After walking a hundred or two hundred meters outside the city, I looked back and saw that the city gate guards who should have been drunk stood up again.
"them……"
"Prefect Zhang is also an official of the Northern Qi Kingdom. Although he is dissatisfied with the orders in the palace, he has no way to directly provide us with help."
Mo Cheng explained: "Otherwise, even if there is support in the court, he will not be able to get around his disobedience. So he needs an excuse, an excuse to shirk the blame."
"For example, you kindly took in the seriously injured Mo Cheng, and for the sake of the emperor's face, you persuaded Mo Cheng to hand over the things. Unexpectedly, the student Mo Cheng was not good-tempered, and the next day he took part of the money from the prefect's family and fled. Get out of the city.”
While talking, Mo Cheng also opened the package, looked at it, and took inventory: "Well, there is gold and silver, and they are not official silver. Is the prefect's salary that high? There are also maps, which should be second only to the military With the clarity of the map. There are actually corresponding documents..."
After Mo Cheng saw the magistrate's official seal stamped on it, he couldn't help but bared his teeth and said, "Come on, now our crime probably includes stealing the official seal."
"The crime is serious?"
"If you don't hang out in Northern Qi from now on, this crime is nonsense."
"The internal prison officer will file a complaint."
"Don't worry, both internal and external prisoners will receive benefits. If they don't receive it, they will go back to complain or even fabricate charges. This is an unspoken rule that everyone knows. Local officials who don't want to cause trouble will give them a benefit. Officials who want to clear their names should just be tough and fight for a good reputation."
Mo Cheng sneered, "Go back and file a complaint. If you want to make a local magistrate lose his official title, at least there must be banditry in the area under his jurisdiction, which will affect the surrounding areas and cause rebellion."
"Below that level, if the internal eunuch goes back and complains, it will be just two sentences of accountability. The Northern Qi Emperor dared to remove Zhang Zhifu's official hat just because the internal eunuch complained, and the next day there will be officials who will confront him passionately. "
"Pah, pah, pah!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of applause, and then a wisp of dark wind blew by, and then a figure appeared in front of Mo Cheng and Shen Xueqi, blocking the way.
The man had red lips, a white face, and no beard. He was wearing prison clothes. He was as skinny as a zombie and exuded a cold aura.
Rather than being a living person, Mo Cheng felt more like a zombie in Lin Zhengying's movie.
"You are worthy of being a pillar of Jixia College. It took us all night to think of Zhang Junmao's actions, and your Excellency said it in just a few words."
"Half human and half ghost, with a green face, he is practicing the Qingjian Secret Scroll." Shen Xueqi told the origin of the person in front of her at a glance, "Only the inner prison can practice the Qingjian Secret Scroll. Be careful, he has already Once you reach the realm of [Qingyun Zhuan], it is not difficult to enter and exit Qingming."
"As expected of a disciple of the Three Immortals of Yunping, you can tell the origin of our family. Our surname is Hai, and the people in the palace call us General Manager."
Mo Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "I wonder why Mr. Hai is here?"
The chief eunuch, from the fifth grade...
This predecessor obviously wanted to be an official. At least there was not much other knowledge left in this body. The official grades, internal supervisor grades, and even exam precautions were very clear.
"The Holy One is both virtuous and virtuous, and now it is fitting that a rare treasure is born..."
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Hai tipped his toes and slid backwards like a ghost.
The speed of gliding was extremely fast, and he narrowly avoided the throat-cutting blow of the Flowing Water Sword.
Mo Cheng didn't bother to listen to what the eunuch said. He took out his sword and followed him, waving green lotuses and floating toward Manager Hai.
When Manager Hai saw those green lotuses, he didn't dare to be careless. His true energy immediately circulated throughout his body, and his whole body was as green as steel.
He could see that the green lotus was the condensed form of countless sword energy, and that sword was one of the [Nine Abyss Famous Swords]. If he was careless, he would be torn apart by the infinite sword energy in an instant.
"you dare……"
Manager Hai planned to say something else, but what he received was a cold shout from Mo Cheng: "Nonsense!"
For Mo Cheng, General Manager Hai's status, origin, and even the practice of Kung Fu have nothing to do with him. In Mo Cheng's eyes, General Manager Hai only has one label: experience value.
With a roll of the long sword in his hand, the sword energy suddenly gathered into a long river and swept toward the Sea Controller. The long river of sword energy held up green lotuses, but wherever the long river and the green lotus passed, everything was cut and shattered.
Mo Cheng had already noticed that in addition to the eunuch in front of him, there were many people ambushing him along the way.
"Hey!"
With a sneer, Mo Cheng took out the long sword in his hand and turned into a stream of light that penetrated the body of General Manager Hai and nailed him to a big tree.
"A mere fifth-grade eunuch who has not reached the realm of [Yam Luo Yinshen] dares to appear in front of me."
"It's really... I don't know whether to live or die!"
Withdrawing the Flowing Water Sword, Mo Cheng let go of his senses, and he felt that those guys who had left the city some time ago were setting ambush on the road.
There is no need to guess their target, it is the so-called [Secret Treasure] in Mo Cheng's hand.
It's just that they are eyeing Mo Cheng's [Secret Treasure], but Mo Cheng is eyeing their lives.
