The master of Xuanci City is the prefect of a region, and the scope of his jurisdiction is not only Xuanci City, but also the surrounding villages and towns, as well as many sects and families.
Yugang Mountain is naturally within his jurisdiction.
Even though he was a Nascent Soul cultivator, and as the prefect, he was in charge of one side and could barely be regarded as half a feudal official. But facing Meng Zizhong, who was at the Jindan level, he also felt very troublesome.
Those who come out to hang out should pay attention to their background and power.
In this regard, the righteous path is more prominent than the demonic path.
It is very easy to take down Meng Zizhong, and the prefect of Xuanci can do it easily. He does not need to take action personally, just give an order to make Meng Zizhong surrender.
The difficulty lies in Meng Zizheng's background.
Meng family!
This is an aristocratic family of Nandou Kingdom, one of the founding heroes.
The magistrate of Xuanci is a non-religious cultivator. Although he has a family, his support is very small. In reality, he relies on his own efforts to support his family.
He knew very well that even if the Zhu family's royal family dealt with important ministers like the Meng family, they had to be cautious and pay attention to methods and timing. What's more, what about him?
"You want to report Meng Zizhong for supporting troops and supporting bandits? This piece of evidence alone is not enough." The prefect of Xuanci shook his head, showing an obvious evasion.
Ning Zhuo smiled: "Master Magistrate, I understand your difficulties. Don't worry, I'm not here to embarrass you."
"You just need to report it, and I believe that the royal Zhu family will respond immediately. At that time, you just need to obey orders."
"Of course, I can also directly summon Mr. Zhu Xuanji. However, after thinking about it, I still feel that reporting it to someone else would be contemptuous of the magistrate. It should be noted that although I am young, I am also the head of the Ning clan. Naturally, I have to
Set an example and act according to the rules.”
The corner of Xuanci's prefect's eyes twitched, and he cursed: "You little bastard, you jumped over the top and reported it! I can't hear or see, so wouldn't we be in such an embarrassing situation now?"
The prefect was filled with helplessness.
From this simple reply, he already knew that Ning Zhuo could never be bullied! This younger generation was quite proficient in the rules of the righteous way, so it would be safe to treat him as an equal as his opponent.
"Please wait for a moment, I will go and report the case." Magistrate Xuanci left Ning Zhuo outside the door, turned around and went back to the study, using emergency channels to report the case.
Ning Zhuo stood outside the door of the study. He did not move around randomly. He stood still, without any embarrassment, and was calm and composed.
He knew from the beginning that the prefect of Xuanci could not make the decision and could not be relied on.
He came here just to use this Yuanying monk as a microphone.
What Ning Zhuo really needs to rely on is the royal Zhu family!
Of course, even if the magistrate of Xuanci was just sending a message, he would inevitably be involved. He really didn't want to get into this muddy water, but there was really no other way. It would be like sitting at home, and disaster would come from the sky.
Over the years, as the royal family of Nandou, it has become increasingly difficult for the Zhu family to control the country of Nandou.
The monarch carefully selected the prefect of Xuanci, supported him, and let him take charge of Xuancixian City. It was not easy. In the court, he had frequent confrontations with the important ministers, wooing and suppressing, joining forces vertically and horizontally, and struggling to seize the gaps.
, will succeed.
The prefect of Xuanci was the Zhu family's most capable person in controlling the local area. At this moment, he suddenly used emergency communication channels to convey a key case, which immediately attracted the attention of the monarch.
Meng Zizhong's matter seems small, but in fact it is related to the game between the Meng family and the Zhu family.
"Is this Ning Zhuo again?" The monarch sighed, "As expected of the son of Ying Jie, he will surely cause trouble wherever he goes."
The monarch frowned. She didn't want to deal with this matter and found it quite difficult.
Because of one mishandling, the Zhu family will have a fierce conflict with the Meng family. As a royal family, the Zhu family is certainly stronger than the Meng family, but the entire Nandou country is not only composed of the Meng family, but also the Su family, and other important officials.
Where is the general?
If the Zhu family exerts too much strength on the Meng family and shows signs of weakness, there will be a greater risk.
As the king of a country, he naturally has to assess the situation and cannot ignore any risks.
"The suspended magnetic prefect cannot be used." King Nandou confirmed this first.
She wanted to keep this rare local general and couldn't easily let him get involved in the conflict between the royal family and the Meng family.
Therefore, King Nandou needs to find someone who can be trusted and who can withstand the possible backlash from the Meng family.
Soon, Lord Nandou thought of a candidate.
Zhu Xuanji was galloping in the air.
He is like a golden rainbow piercing the sky.
"In another half a day, we will reach Qimen Immortal City. If we transfer through it, we can greatly shorten the distance and quickly return to the capital."
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhu Xuanji's expression suddenly changed slightly, and the token in his arms trembled slightly.
He was not far from the Qimen Immortal City, so he received an urgent royal order conveyed from the location of the Immortal City.
"Let me go to the Hanging Magnetic Fairy City to deal with urgent matters?"
When he took a closer look, his face suddenly darkened.
All because he saw a name that he didn't want to see.
"Ning Zhuo?!"
"What's the trouble with this kid when he goes to Xuancixian City?"
"Black Wind Tiger Demon, Meng Zizhong..."
Zhu Xuanji had a look of surprise on his face, understanding the royal family's intention of letting him change course midway.
He sighed and continued to move forward - with the help of Qimen Immortal City, he could teleport over long distances and directly reach Xuanci Immortal City.
That night, Zhu Xuanji met Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong again in the government office of Xuanci Prefecture.
After reviewing the image, Zhu Xuanji said bluntly: "This piece of evidence cannot prove that Meng Zizhong has a private connection with the Black Wind Tiger Demon. He can completely infer that he felt murderous intent from the monk Shi Sui, so
Strike first to gain the upper hand."
"In addition, there are all kinds of excuses, even if they are very ridiculous, he can use them."
Sun Lingtong: "With the help of the God Catcher, we can trace the source and the golden eyes. Are we still worried that we will not find any evidence or evidence against him?"
Zhu Xuanji frowned and said nothing.
The magistrate of Xuanci shook his head slightly: "The troublesome thing about this matter is that we found the evidence of the crime!"
"It is a serious crime to raise bandits to respect themselves. Especially when it involves the death of the previous mayor. This is an attempt to murder a court official, which completely touches the bottom line."
"We cannot launch such an attack at will without making sufficient preparations to fully confront the Meng family."
It is impossible for the Meng family to directly plead guilty to such a serious crime. Because the crime is too big, once the Meng family does confess, the losses suffered by the Meng family will be extremely heavy.
And once the guilt is publicized, the Zhu family will also be unable to get off. Failure to bring the criminals to justice will completely expose the weakness of the royal Zhu family and make the major families even more disobedient!
By then, the situation will evolve into a full-out confrontation between the Zhu family and the Meng family. Even if the Zhu family wins, there is a high probability that their vitality will be severely damaged. And the fierce battle will allow other aristocratic families to profit from it.
Ning Zhuo smiled, as he had expected it: "My Ning family and the Zhu family are on the same page. If the Zhu family and the Meng family go to war, we will be the first to suffer."
"After all, Meng Kui is still the current Lord of Fire Persimmon City."
"When dealing with Meng Zizhong this time, there is no need to involve him in his serious crime of raising bandits. Just remove him and let our people take control of Yugang Mountain."
"It is a hidden danger that Meng Zizhong is still under the command of the prefect Xuanci. Pulling him down will be good for you, the prefect, and the royal family Zhu family, right?"
This simply spoke to the bottom of the heart of the magistrate Xuanci, which made the magistrate take a deep look at Ning Zhuo, and his evaluation of him in his heart rose again.
Zhu Xuanji snorted coldly and pointed at Ning Zhuo: "I know you have a plan, so just tell me."
Ning Zhuo said so and so.
The three monks listened carefully and heard Sun Lingtong call out for a good strategy. Zhu Xuanzhi nodded slightly.
The prefect of Xuanci looked at Ning Zhuo again. It must be said that the young man in front of him left a deep impression on him.
This plan seems simple, but the understanding and understanding of human nature have reached a subtle level.
According to common sense, the age of sixteen or seventeen is the time when you are naive and romantic, easily moved and impulsive, but the young man in front of you seems to be deeply experienced in the world.
old man.
"He still has talent that has not yet been detected... he has a bright future." Realizing this, the prefect of Xuanci couldn't help but feel a little close to Ning Zhuo.
After the discussion was completed, the four people started taking action.
A few days later, when Meng Zizhong saw the information in his hand, he couldn't help but became furious: "Check, check for me, who spread the rumor!"
A rumor has emerged in the recent hustle and bustle, pointing directly at Meng Zizhong, saying that he secretly funded the Black Wind Tiger Demon and was the real culprit behind the death of the previous mayor. Meng Zizhong has the ambition to support the bandit Zizhong and plot evil!
However, strict bans and investigations have no effect. Instead, the rumors have spread more and more fiercely and have spawned many versions.
One of the rumors actually revealed the hiding place of the Black Wind Tiger Demon in Wuyin Mountain, making Meng Zizhong frightened.
He didn't dare to ask for help, so he sent a message back to Meng's family, only talking about the current situation of rumors in Yugang Town.
The Meng family immediately became vigilant, knowing that someone must be behind the scenes. With no way to investigate, in order to avoid long sleepless nights and evidence of the crime being dug out, they decisively chose to abandon the car to save the handsome man!
Meng Zizhong garrisoned the barracks, began to mobilize the garrison, and actively prepared for war.
Meng Zizhong stood on the general's stage and shouted loudly: "I have been ordered to take charge of this situation since I was in danger. I have always been here to do my job conscientiously. I am a good horse and a strong soldier."
"This general has been continuously dispatching investigations, and finally found something recently, and found the hiding place of the Black Wind Tiger Demon. However, the demon spies in the town are causing trouble, spreading rumors, and trying to provoke civil strife in order to delay the opportunity for our army to attack.
Transfer to buy time."
"Hmph! How can I fall into this trap so easily? I will personally lead the army this time, vowing to avenge you, kill the enemy bravely, wipe out the demons, and return the peaceful world to our Yugang Town!"
"Warriors, follow me to charge into battle, kill all the evil spirits, and create a prosperous and peaceful world together!"
The garrison responded in unison, and their morale was completely mobilized.
Immediately start the grouping, arrange them neatly, and step into the teleportation array.
The teleportation array was activated frequently, teleporting the town's garrison directly to the vicinity of Kirigakure Mountain.
As a result, the movement was finally unable to be concealed and was eavesdropped by the Black Wind Tiger Demon and his gang.
The tiger demon's eyes were red, and he fell into rage. He roared, led a group of demon cultivators, rushed out of the valley, and headed straight for the military formation!
Chapter completed!
