Xu Zhiqiong defeated La Gugang.

To end this duel, the rules set in advance must be met, either one party dies or the other party surrenders.

The Tunu people have such a strong character that they naturally choose to surrender.

La Gugang knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xu Zhiqiong, promising never to set foot in Yongzhou again. The other judges were also trustworthy and left Yongzhou that day.

Although he won the duel, this battle was too lucky. If Xu Zhiqiong and La Gugang were to fight again, La Gugang might not lose.

During this period of time, there were always trivial matters, but Xu Zhiqiong forgot one serious thing. He had not been to the Punishment Department for a long time.

Sixth grade Sheng's rashness, Master fell into a deep sleep without saying anything.

Xu Zhiqiong doesn't even know the basic attributes of the sixth level, and he hasn't been able to master the sixth level skills so far.

Go to the Punishment Department, exchange merit with the lady, ask about the skills of the sixth grade, and give the lady a good hug. Why do you always forget such a refreshing thing?

I have accumulated more than 300 merit points, and I am almost at the sixth level. How can I forget such an important thing?

No matter how big the matter is today, I have to go to the Punishment Department and see who can stop me.

Xu Zhiqiong was just about to find a secluded place to set off, but was stopped by Zhou Qinglin: "Xu Zhonglang, please invite Shi, the director of the Punishment Department."

This is really strange. I want to go to the Punishment Department, and Shi, the director of the Punishment Department, comes to invite me?

I haven't even met Shi, the director of the Punishment Department, why would he invite me?

"Which punishment department chief Shi?"

Zhou Qinglin said: "We will punish the evil director Shi, Li Muliang, and Li Changshi!"

"Isn't he unconscious?"

"Wake up! Just woke up!" Zhou Qinglin said with joy on his face, "As soon as I heard that you defeated Judge Tunu, our chief officer woke up immediately."

What a coincidence!

Xu Zhiqiong knew why he had been putting off changing his merits. Whenever he thought about changing his merits, there were always some trivial things that would trip him up.

The head of the Punishment Department, Shi Naifang, needs to be given this face, and the opportunity is rare, so he really should go and see what other Punishment Departments are like.

Xu Zhiqiong learned the key to open the door from Zhou Qinglin. He used his left foot as a pivot to turn five times, and his right foot as a pivot to turn one and a half times. Then he came to the Yonglu Punishment Division.

This was the first time Xu Zhiqiong came to the Evil Punishment Department outside the capital, and it was also the first time he discovered the differences between the Evil Punishment Department.

The Yonglu Punishment Department is smaller than the Jingcheng Punishment Department, much smaller.

The scale of the punishment department in the capital is comparable to that of the imperial palace, while the size of the Yonglu punishment department is comparable to that of the prefect's yamen.

Not only is the area smaller, but the buildings are also much lower. The only thing that remains unchanged is the thick fog that envelopes the Punishment Division.

Zhou Qinglin took Xu Zhiqiong to Chang Shi's Mansion.

The scale of Chang Shi's Mansion was larger than that of Xu Zhiqiong's Zhonglang Courtyard, with five in and five out. When they arrived at the main courtyard in the middle, Zhou Qinglin led Xu Zhiqiong to Chang Shi's bedroom. No communication was needed, and Li Muliang directly asked Xu Zhiqiong to

Came to the bedside.

Li Muliang wears a mask, with a tall figure and a lush beard that almost covers his entire lower jaw. Looking at the outline, he is somewhat similar to Zhang Fei in Xu Zhiqiong's mind.

His voice was rough and low, but somewhat lacking in energy: "Xu Zhonglang, thank you for preserving the livelihood of the judges in Yongzhou."

"We are all in the same camp, but what Chang Shi said is out of context."

Li Muliang sighed: "Tonu is gone now, I'm afraid he will come again in a few days."

"They made a written pledge not to set foot in Yongzhou again. The written note was also stamped with the seal of the Tununan Royal Provincial Punishment Department. This is always a matter of credibility."

"Written evidence?" Li Muliang smiled bitterly, "When you have free time, go to the bookstore and have a look. There are hundreds of written evidence left by Tu Nu.

I served as the Director of the Punishment Department, and fought sixteen times with Tunu, each with a victory or defeat. After each battle, a written document must be written. The written document must state that the two families have been reconciled and there will be no more war. But is this useful? ?

There was a written document at the beginning, but less than half a month after it was established, Tunu called. In the end, they still bullied me into having no one in the two states!"

Li Muliang sighed repeatedly, and Xu Zhiqiong heard something different.

Xu Zhiqiong quickly changed the subject: "Li Changshi, now that you have woken up, I am relieved. I am going to Tielang Pass..."

He wanted to find an excuse to leave, but was interrupted by Li Muliang: "To be honest, I woke up a long time ago."

This man is quite straightforward.

Xu Zhiqiong nodded slightly and didn't say much. He didn't want to embarrass Li Muliang.

But Li Muliang was not afraid of embarrassment and took the initiative to ask: "Do you know why I keep pretending to sleep?"

Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment: "Chang Shi doesn't want to pretend to be the sixth grade and rely on the strong to bully the weak."

Li Muliang shook his head and said with a smile, "You really think highly of me! To tell you the truth, I pretended to be the sixth grade to duel with the Tunu people three times, and killed their lieutenant twice. In order to protect the two-thirds of an acre of Yonglu Prefecture, I I've done a lot of dirty things,

This time I pretend to be awake because my old injury has not healed. If I really go to a duel, I may not be able to defeat a sixth-level person. If I lose, the judges of Yonglu and Luzhou will also be dispersed. This place Then he returned to Maosha,

Don't laugh at me, and don't underestimate me. You will do whatever it takes to fight for an inch of land, and that's how it is at the border. As long as any land falls into the hands of Judge Tunu, the Xuan people in that place will have no way to survive."

Xu Zhiqiong did not underestimate Li Muliang. He knew that guarding the border was not easy, it was not easy for the soldiers, and it was not easy for the judges.

Li Muliang looked at Xu Zhiqiong: "Actually, I shouldn't call you Xu Zhonglang. The Taoist sect has its own rules. I wonder how I should call you in the Taoist sect?"

What is supposed to come will eventually come. Xu Zhiqiong deliberately separated the name of the judge and said: "Among the Taoists, my surname is Ma and my name is Shangfeng."

I thought I could get over it, but I didn't expect Li Muliang to repeat it several times: "Ma Shangfeng, Ma Shangfeng... I have heard of you. You are a famous young hero in the capital."

Xu Zhiqiong let out a sigh of relief: "Chang Shi deserves the award."

"This is not a reward, Brother Ma. If I remember correctly, you have been in the sixth level for less than a year, and you have already reached the sixth level. I have never seen such talent in the Taoist sect. It's a pity..."

What's a pity?

Xu Zhiqiong was stunned.

Li Muliang said: "It's a pity that Brother Ma is not reused in the capital, but he is still squeezed out by Feng Jing'an and others!"

He even knows this!

The information about the long history of punishing evil is really well-informed.

Li Muliang sat up from the couch, looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said: "Brother Ma, I know that the two prefectures of Yonglu are far less prosperous than the capital, but a young hero should not be buried like this.

If you don't give up, you can stay in Yonglu Punishing Evil Division. The Zhonglang Courtyard here is a bit dilapidated and cannot be compared with the capital city, but Shaoqing's Mansion is by no means inferior to your Zhonglang Courtyard!"

Li Muliang wanted to keep Xu Zhiqiong as a young minister in the Punishment Department.

Xu Zhiqiong remained silent.

Li Muliang said: "Brother, don't dislike the poverty in the north. In recent days, there have been many wars and merits can be obtained everywhere. This is the place where you can use your skills. With your mind and talent, you can be promoted to the fifth rank in less than a year. By then I will I will give you the land of Yongzhou, and you will establish a new branch and a department to punish evildoers. Your future will be limitless!"

Xu Zhiqiong did not mind that the Northern Territory was poor. Li Muliang was right. There was a war going on in the Northern Territory, and merit was indeed easy to obtain.

But Xu Zhiqiong could not give up the capital easily.

The prince is in the capital, the second brother is in the capital, and the lantern yamen is in the capital.

The pretty lady, the senior sister, the thief woman, and Lin Qianniang are all in the capital.

The most important thing is that Liang Daguan’s family is in the capital!

If Liang Daguan's family had been left alone, the two prefectures of Yonglu would have fallen into the hands of the Tunu people. At that time, it would be a fool's dream to talk about setting up a separate punishment department.

Li Muliang said: "Brother Ma, is there anything else you can't give up on?"

Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "There are indeed many things that we can't let go of."

"I have been to the capital several times. It is difficult to leave the bustling city. The bustling and noisy places are rather disgusting. But there is one place that really makes people forget to leave. I don't know the hook-and-rail sheds in Qiaotou Tile Market.

Has Brother Ma been there?"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "I won't go to that kind of place."

Li Muliang smiled when he heard this: "Before the war broke out, the two states were flooded, and Goulan was also quite prosperous, and the style was not inferior to that of the capital."

"How can I say this..." Xu Zhiqiong didn't want to hurt Li Muliang's face. Where can Goulan dare to compare with the capital?

"Brother Ma, don't believe it?" Li Muliang stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Yongzhou was hit by war, and the Goulan was gone, but the Goulan in Luzhou is still there. I asked Zhou Qinglin to take my brother to have a look."

"What's so interesting about this?" Xu Zhiqiong shook his head repeatedly. "There's something I've never understood. I hope Li Changshi will give me some advice."

Li Muliang nodded and said, "Brother Ma, please speak."

"It's been a while since I entered the sixth rank, but I still don't know what skills the sixth rank has?"

Li Muliang pondered for a moment and said, "The person who introduced you to the elite class didn't tell you?"

"There was something urgent at the time, so we didn't have time to talk about it."

Li Muliang was silent for a while, then raised his head and said: "Brother, don't blame me for being stingy. Sixth-grade skills are the same as innate skills. They are the means for our judges to settle down and live. We can never tell others easily.

If you agree to stay in the north, I will tell you the details. If you refuse to stay, I forgive my brother for the inconvenience of saying more."

If you don't say it, don't say it, but you still threaten me?

Xu Zhiqiong stood up and said, "In that case, Ma will take his leave."

"Wait a minute," Li Muliang stood up and stopped Xu Zhiqiong, "I only said this because I am a brother. Luzhou Goulan has its own style. Brothers, you are here, so you might as well take a look."

While they were talking, Li Muliang called Zhou Qinglin, but Xu Zhiqiong repeatedly declined. Zhou Qinglin invited him warmly, took a dental plaque from Li Muliang's hand, and took Xu Zhiqiong to an attic.
