Lin Junshu handed the official seal of Xushui County to Hu Jian for safekeeping.

Hu Jian opened up Wang Cheng's mangled corpse and gouged out a fat heart.

"It turns out that the heart of a beast like you is also red, except for the enlarged heart..."

【Ding——】

[Congratulations to the player for completing the mission "Wang Cheng's Breeding Farm"]

[Get the task reward of suspicious white meat ball*1]

"Huh? This broken system is actually still alive?"

【?】

Lin Junshu redeemed the mission reward smoothly, and a gray-white meat ball appeared in his palm.

Lin Junshu looked at the palm of his hand, and the system prompt box appeared:

[Name: Suspicious white meat ball]

[Effect: Raw food can reduce the player’s pollution level]

[Evaluation: Reliable emergency food]

"???"

Look what you are talking about? You idiot - can the system unify its own descriptive vocabulary first?

Lin Junshu glanced at his own pollution level of 37% and showed hesitation.

In the end, Lin Junshu turned his head away, frowned and stuffed the suspicious gray-white meat ball into his mouth.

"Hmm... ugh..."

An indescribable texture exploded in the mouth, like rubber crumbs that had lost their elasticity and were wrapped into a ball, with a strange fishy smell.

After swallowing the meat ball the size of a baby's fist with difficulty, Lin Junshu glanced at the pollution level, which was instantly reduced by 25%. He turned his head and happened to face Hu Jian who had packed up Wang Cheng's heart.

The expression of the usually calm black-faced man became a little surprised.

"You...did you dig something into the corpse and eat it?!"

"..."

Lin Junshu explained for a long time and finally convinced Hu Jian that he had exercised too much and suddenly became hungry and ate half of the cake he had brought with him.

It’s definitely not like eating something strange after removing the body!

Although the excuse I gave sounds quite strange...

Zhang Jiao's mission has finally been completed. If nothing else goes wrong, the sacrifices for the three altars of heaven, earth and man can now be collected.

In addition, because of Lin Junshu's intervention, Zhang Jiao, who originally "died" of illness on the road, successfully survived until the final battle of the Yellow Turban Army.

What kind of splendid colors will the dream of the great virtuous teacher leave at the beginning of this colorful and troubled world?

How will the future of the Yellow Turban Army be different from its original historical trajectory?

Lin Junshu is looking forward to it.

The two briefly searched the study and only found some gold and jade items.

Hu Jian concluded that there might be ample supplies stored in Wang Ke's secret passage, and they could replenish them and then rush back to Julu to recover.

The two of them carried the items they needed to take away and walked into the secret passage. The door of the secret passage closed and fit perfectly with the wall, as if it had never appeared before.

Only the bloodstains and mutilated corpses all over the house were left, as well as the long knife with a missing blade, quietly telling the story of what happened here.

After a while, noisy sounds came from the corridor.

The guards pushed the stone door together from the outside. When the stone door opened, the tragic situation in the room appeared in front of everyone.

"This...this is..."

The tall and thin housekeeper Gao Feng had long lost his usual composure, and he quickly rushed towards Wang Cheng's body without caring about the blood in the room.

"Old...Master? Master was killed?"

The facts before our eyes were like a bolt from the blue, hitting the peak.

Under Wang Ke's management, Xushui City has long become his own garden. It can be said that this city is his own city, and he alone holds up the sky of Xushui!

But now, Xushui’s sky has fallen!

If news of Wang Ke's death spread, Gao Feng would not dare to think deeply about the turmoil Xushui City would fall into, and what would happen to Wang Ke's number one confidant.

"No...absolutely...must not let the news be revealed! County Magistrate Wang is not dead! He has never revealed his identity all year round, and even most of Xushui City's business has been handed over to me. But no one knows, so he is not dead.

!"

"As long as no one knows... maybe... I can also become... Xushui's god!"

Gao Feng suddenly figured everything out. He picked up the long knife next to Wang Cheng's body and stood up, turning around with a smile.

"Master Wang has ordered that I have been ill recently and need to rest in the study for a long time. I will handle all the affairs of Xushui City. Did you hear it?"

"This..." The guards looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

A young guard ignored the atmosphere and shouted straightforwardly:

"How is it possible? Lord Wang, he clearly..."

Before he finished speaking, the long knife in Gao Feng's hand had been chopped off.

Blood spattered and the young guard's throat was cut, and he collapsed to the ground, and then stopped moving after a few breaths.

Gao Feng repeated what he said before without haste and glanced at everyone with his cold eyes.

"Now, is there anyone who hasn't heard it?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Gao Feng nodded with satisfaction and walked out of the study carrying the long knife dripping with blood.

"By the way, close the study door. From now on, no one is allowed to come near without my order!"

"Yes!"

Everyone filed out with the body of the young guard, the stone door closed, and calm returned to the study again.

The broken corpse is still the same, except for the increased pool of brighter red blood, but there is a missing long knife.

Gao Feng suppressed the excitement in his heart and walked quickly in the corridor of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Ah, there are a lot of things to do! Prevent news from leaking, win over powerful generals, sort out business, distribute benefits... By the way, we must first kill all those guys who usually oppose me..."

In the dark night, the crazy smile could no longer be suppressed. The tall and thin old man grinned with the corners of his mouth raised high...

In the originally quiet study room, the closed stone door opened again, and Lin Junshu and the two who had just left returned again.

"Jun Shu, our top priority is to send the official seal and heart back to Julu first. The leader is still waiting for us!"

"I know, I know, it's just a short delay. Lao Hu, please do me a favor! I really can't handle this on my own."

Lin Junshu asked Hu Jian with a smile, walked to the study, searched for a while, and picked up the head that he had chopped off.

"Eh? Why is my knife gone? Who is so bored that he leaves the body alone and picks up my broken knife?"

……

The watchtower on the top floor of the City Lord's Mansion is the place where Wang Cheng came to overlook the two civilian areas in legend.

With the help of Hu Jian, Lin Junshu used the spear found in the secret passage to hang Wang Cheng's body and head on the top of the north and south towers respectively.

"What a great place! Since you can see the whole city, then in turn, can you also be seen by the whole city?"

"I've listened to you. It's time for us to go back to Julu, right?"

"Don't be anxious, there is one more important thing!"

Lin Junshu tied two white flags to the two spears, took out the pen and ink he found from the study, and carefully wrote big characters on the flags.

"How is it?" Lin Junshu put away his pen and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

"You can also write?" Hu Jian asked in surprise.

Lin Junshu rolled his eyes and thought, what image do I have in your mind? After all, I have received nine-year compulsory education, okay!

"The writing is really ugly." Hu Jian commented seriously.

Lin Junshu’s face is full of black lines, what can I do? I have never learned calligraphy, but writing like this is already very good!

Lin Junshu was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but the second half of Hu Jian's sentence came over.

"But the content is really good."

Lin Junshu grinned.

"It's done! Call it a day! Go home!"

The two climbed down the top of the tower, and the broken dawn lit up from outside the east gate of the long street. The flag on the spear rustled in the morning wind, and the eight characters on it were clearly visible:
