Chapter 6 Inexplicable Hostility(1/2)
Jinyiwei Banner.
"The Lord General Banner is here!"
With a loud shout, the four people who were restless in the hall hurriedly stood up and looked out the door.
As a silhouette of Anghung stepped in, an invisible blood suddenly came to his face. The three city guards were born well, but the county magistrate Luo Gubei breathed and his face turned pale.
"Have you met Shangguan General Flag!"
No matter what they felt in their hearts, the four of them did not dare to neglect at this time and bowed at the same time.
"Okay, let's sit."
Shangguan Wudi just waved his hand casually, then sat straight to the main seat, picked up the tea on the table and became stuffy in one breath.
Such a rude and arrogant attitude immediately caused the four people to frown, but no one dared to say anything.
After a silence, although Luo Gubei was a little reluctant, his duties and the urges of the other three people forced him to stand up.
"Master Shangguan Qi, how dare you ask what happened to Sima Yan? You have slaughtered his elders and elders?"
The other three immediately raised their ears. They wanted to hear what crimes could Shangguan Wudi make up for? He dared to slaughter their boss's little boy directly!
It would be fine if the previous incident did not provoke them, but now they do not take their city guards seriously;
If they didn't say anything, they wouldn't dare to do anything in front of them, but they wouldn't say they would join forces to sue him!
"Oh? It seems that you are very concerned about Sima Yan."
Shangguan Wudi put down the teacup and stared at the four people with a smile.
Luo Gubei smiled embarrassedly, "Shangguan General Qi was joking. Yan Sima is the same level as you and me, and the guards under his command play a very important role in Puyang's stability.
This official also knows the power of the Jinyiwei, but we must know why Sima Yan was taken down, right?"
Shangguan Wudi frowned when he heard this. Didn’t he have ordered Dong Wei to explain to Luo Gubei long ago? Why does Luo Gubei still know nothing?
"Come!"
"Master General Banner!"
"Where is Dong Xiaoqi? Let him come to see me quickly!"
Before the Liss, who was on duty at the door, answered, but a figure ran in anxiously.
"Master General Banner, humble post..."
Shangguan Wudi looked up and found that the person coming was Dong Wei.
Seeing that the latter stared at Luo Gubei, he was a little reluctant to speak but stopped, Shangguan Wudi frowned.
"What's going on, explain it clearly!"
Dong Wei didn't dare to think about it anymore and responded quickly.
"Bei Zhi had never found Luo County Magistrate in the palace and in the yamen. I had heard that Luo County Magistrate was in Yihualou. But after Bei Zhi rushed to the scene, Luo County Magistrate had already left. The matter you explained had not been completed.
Please punish the Lord General Banner!”
Hearing this, everyone suddenly looked strange.
Luo Gubei is already in his sixties. Although he has the strength of the fourth level of Yuanhai and is still in good health, he still goes to drink flower wine at such an age and identity. Why is this style a bit strange?
"Okay, this flag knows it. You won't blame you for this matter. Let's step down first."
"promise!"
"I never thought that Luo County Magistrate still has a strong spirit and is quite good at elegance."
Shangguan Wudi smiled playfully, but Luo Gubei looked like a pig's liver.
"It makes you laugh. Luo's future is determined and he is older. I hope he can enjoy the remaining time."
Shangguan Wudi nodded in agreement, and then shook his head with regretful expressions.
"The thoughts of the magistrate Luo County are also human nature. It's a pity that Lord Luo is afraid that he will not have this opportunity in the future."
Luo Gubei's expression suddenly changed, and the other three also shrank their eyes.
What does this bastard want to do? Is it not enough to kill Yan Shuo, and he has to kill them all?
Could he be crazy?
But when he thought of Shangguan Wudi's actions, the four of them couldn't help but sweat. This madman was afraid that there was not much to do...
"Don't you want to know why this flag killed Yan Shuo's whole family? Okay, I'll tell you this flag.
First, those who hide and raise barbarian ghosts!
Second, people from the joint sect want to harm the banner!
Secondly, it's fine, but do you know who he is hiding?
Oh, or should I say it more accurately, do you know what kind of ghost he is hiding?"
The four people who were worried about it were relieved when they heard this. It turned out that this killing was not about killing them...
"So that's it. Then Sima Yan really took his own life. How arrogant is Shangguan General Qi?"
Chen Hongfeng, the chief clerk of the City Guard, nodded with great understanding, and then asked along Shangguan Wudi's words.
"Jiuyan Barbarian Ghost."
Shangguan Wudi spit out four words lightly. The four of them nodded in a sudden realization, but then their faces suddenly changed drastically. Luo Gubei stood up in shock, his legs trembled a little.
"Jiu, Jiu, Jiu Yan barbarian ghost, Shang, Shangguan General Qi, are you not kidding?"
Shangguan Wudi snorted coldly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Hmph! Do you think this flag looks like a joke?
The nine-beautiful barbarian ghost had long possessed Yan Shuo's concubine Liu Nianqin. I don't know how many Puyang people have been deviled by them in recent years!
If the Jiuyan Barbarian Ghost breaks through to Sanyan and then makes up his mind to absorb all the ghost species, I am afraid that 50,000 or 60,000 people in Puyang County will die tragically!
After that, I am afraid that the entire Hequ County and even the entire Chaoyang Prefecture will be turned into scorched earth!
County Magistrate Luo, now you are talking about it, do you still have that free and easy future?"
Luo Gubei suddenly staggered and almost fell to the ground.
As a county magistrate, he didn't notice such a huge harm at all. It would be great if he didn't have the sky lantern illuminated!
Chen Hongfeng and the other three also looked dismal.
It is related to Jiuyan Barbarian Ghosts, and they are Yan Shuo's close subordinates, so how can they escape?
"Come!"
"exist!"
"The chief clerk of the city guard Chen Hongfeng, deputy Sima Si Yuanqing and Wu Gang were escorted to Zhao Prison, and questioned with the secret technique of truth!
If you are sure that you have nothing to do with the barbarian ghost, you will release it again!"
"promise!"
Chen Hongfeng and the other two suddenly changed their faces and hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded for Shangguan Wudi.
"Mr. Shangguan! Please be kind! I don't know anything about the barbarian ghost!"
"Mr. Shangguan, please spare me!"
...
The reason why they are so scared is that the so-called secret art of truth must be effectively used before they can be "served" without the power of resistance.
And over the years, they have done something more or less. If they are forced to ask, it will be almost done...
"Okay, I don't have the heart to pursue those trivial matters now. As long as they have nothing to do with the barbarian ghost, you can come out alive!
In addition, don’t have the intention to escape, otherwise you will know the methods of this banner!”
The three of them looked gloomy. They had the idea of escaping because their strength was around the fifth and sixth level of Yuanhai. If they really wanted to escape, there would be a way to escort them.
But thinking that Shangguan Wudi always ruthlessly slaughtered the whole family, he immediately suppressed this idea.
At present, they can only hope that Shangguan Wudi can keep his word and really won’t force confessions. This may be a good thing.
Although it will end up being a flirtatious, it is hard to say that because the Jinyiwei torture them may be a little bit open...
After the three of them were escorted, Shangguan Wudi looked at Luo Gubei with a pale face.
"Okay, County Magistrate Luo, now is not the time for you to be scared.
What you have to do now is to immediately dispatch a capable yamen runner to thoroughly investigate Liu Nianqin's life and close dating people, so as not to hide from any missed ghosts!
If you do well, you may not have the chance to make up for your merits.
Otherwise, you should be very clear about what the outcome would be."
"Ah yes! Yes! Thank you, General Shangguan, I will deal with it now!"
Luo Gubei's eyes lit up immediately, and then he bowed to Shangguan Wudi with great gratitude, and then he left with a little frivolous pace.
To be continued...
