Chapter 38
Yanzhou Qiao County Dengzhou Prefecture
On the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty, this is an extremely inconspicuous place to the east of the north.
Qiao County is one of the eight counties in Yanzhou, a small county in the north of the Tang Dynasty. It is close to the border, but not the border. Dengzhou Prefecture is a relatively prosperous prefecture in Qiao County. Therefore, when Tiejun came to the gate of Dengzhou Prefecture, he saw a city wall as high as ten feet high.
The thick city wall gave Tie Jun a very heavy sense of oppression, which was a kind of spiritual oppression. Although Tie Jun had not realized the spiritual power from afar, he practiced very quickly and became more and more sensitive. He felt very clear about the oppression brought by this city.
This is not because this city is made of special materials, nor because this city has blessed with special forces. This sense of oppression from the soul is from the condensation of the will of all the people in Dengzhou City.
Dengzhou City is not a big city, but there are hundreds of thousands of people. Hundreds of thousands of people regard this city as their home. They believe that this city can protect them and make them live and live in peace. This is an unconscious but very natural indoctrination of will, just like the power of incense. The only difference is that the power of incense is filled with gods with self-will, while the thoughts of the people in the city are filled with cities without self-will.
In a common sense, the yang energy of this city is very strong.
Such places are extremely taboo for ghosts and ghosts, but their influence on Tie Jun is only spiritual oppression. And as long as Tie Jun does not want to fight against him, the influence of this city on Tie Jun is almost nothing.
The mansion of Jiang Kun, the Dengzhou Tuanjian envoy, was located in the east of the city, which was a big mansion, and it was not difficult to find. Tie Jun entered the city, went to the gate of Jiang's mansion, threw a greeting, and waited for about a quarter of an hour in the gatehouse, and then a family member introduced him into the mansion. Jiang Kun was dressed in a relaxing outfit and politely welcomed him into the living room.
The group training envoy is a military officer, but it is difficult to find the aura of a warrior in Jiang Kun. The middle-aged man in his forties does not look handsome, but he is still a monkey. He looks like a little boss in the street market, a very kind person. When Tie Jun presented his carefully prepared gift, he became even more enthusiastic about Tie Jun.
"Minister Tie County, your gift is really expensive!!"
Holding the crystal-clear eyes of the evil dragon in his hand, he admired it for a while, and then carefully put it in the brocade box, "A gentleman will not win over what he loves!"
"My sir is so serious. Just a dragon's eye, just a guard against snakes and ants, or something like that!"
Tie Jun said indifferently, "Nothing valuable!"
"Okay, okay!" Jiang Kun smiled and asked someone to put away the brocade box. The two of them sat down with the guest and chatted for half an hour. The humble attitude shown by Tie Jun made Jiang Kun even more satisfied. The guest and guest talked happily. Finally, Tie Jun politely rejected Jiang Kun's invitation to leave and left. Jiang Kun even held his hand and sent him out the door, which surprised the doorman.
Since Jiang's mansion left, it was almost dusk. Tie Jun did not rush back, but instead found an inn in Dengzhou Mansion and stayed there. In fact, he had made up his mind to wait until the people from Liushu left Dengzhou before going back. Anyway, he had already claimed Yao Jin for ten days off, and there was more time.
He also knew that the people from the Six Gate must have waited less than ten days, and maybe they have arrived in Dengzhou Prefecture now.
"This time, there will definitely be an old guy from the innate realm to test me, so they will definitely come to spy on me in the shortest time when I am not firmly established. So you must be careful and never meet people from the six doors. If an old guy from the innate realm really acts maliciously towards you and plots against you, even I may not be able to help you, and at most you can avenge you!"
This was his original words, which scared Tie Jun so much that he made up his mind to never return to Dongling within ten days and never meet the guys from the Six Gate.
Therefore, after visiting Jiang Kun, he completely disappeared, and did not even go to the Chenghuang Temple he had originally planned to go to. He disguised himself as a visiting student, left Dengzhou Prefecture, and headed towards Moyun Ridge west of Dengzhou Prefecture.
Moyun Ridge is a famous scenic spot near Dengzhou Prefecture. This mountain is extremely high, passing through the sky. The trees, stones, streams and streams in the mountains are complete, which complement each other. More than a hundred years ago, a monk took a fancy to this place and built a Kaiyuan Temple on the ridge. The incense is extremely popular and tourists are endless. There is also a Ziyun Valley deep in Moyun Ridge. Finally, there is a purple cloud valley. Only the fog at noon disappears every day, the scenery is extremely beautiful, which is even more attractive. However, Ziyun Valley is a dangerous place, and not many people can really get there. Tiejun wants to go there, but he just doesn't know if it can be found in ten days.
On the night he left Dengzhou Prefecture, a group of four hurried into Dengzhou Prefecture and went directly to the prefect's office. After a while, Jiang Kun, who received the news, entered the prefect's office overnight. That night, the prefect's office was brightly lit and did not stop overnight.
"You mean, Tie Jun came to visit you yesterday and left?"
In the lobby of the prefect's yamen, Chen Zhenbang, the governor of Dengzhou, and Jiang Kunjing, accompanied the last seat. On the main seat, there was a strong white-browed old man wearing a black dress, wearing a green jade ring on his left thumb, leaning slightly on the back of the chair, his eye-catching white eyebrows were raised gently, and asked Jiang Kun, "Has he not returned to Dongling?"
"This..." Jiang Kun was asked a moment. He didn't know where Tie Jun was now, so he said in a little embarrassed manner, "I don't know."
"You don't know, he is your official and is here to visit you again. You won't know where he went?"
Before the old man could speak, the young man standing beside him hummed softly and said unhappyly.
"He is just a subordinate in the name of the subordinate, and visiting me is just a ritual visit. His real Shangguan is the magistrate of Dongling County, but I think since he has come out, he should have filed a leave of absence from the magistrate Yao!" Faced with the man's questioning, Jiang Kun was still as kind as the little boss of the cloth shop, and turned his question back.
"you……"
"The jade stairs must not be rude!" The old man interrupted the young man with an indignant look on his face and smiled at Jiang Kun, "Deng Tuanlian, the young disciple is young, I hope to forgive him if he is rude!"
"The officials dare not!"
"I came here this time because of the matter of the Zhangshui River God. The matter of Mingjian killing the Zhangshui River demon god is still to be verified. I have to refine the divine seal without authorization. I have to investigate the matter of water being a god. This Tie Jun is a key figure, so I have to investigate it in detail!" The old man said leisurely.
"This..." Chen Zhenbang exchanged glances with Jiang Kun, and cursed shamelessly in his heart. When the river god was raging that day, he needed a child boy and a girl to sacrifice, he didn't see you running so hard. Now the demon god is being executed, and you run faster than the other one. Not only do you go to rob the demon god's corpse, but now you are still pursuing the responsibility of refining the divine seal without authorization. Is this too much?
"Old Zhu, the demon god of Zhangshui River is indeed true. On that day, Zhangshui flooded and Dengzhou suffered a lot. In the end, the demon god was designed to kill him by Lord Ming. In addition to his head being brought back by Tie Jun, his body was always in Niujiaozi Mountain. This is true!"
"Hmph, the body of the demon god is probably divided up now, right?!" The young man named Yujie beside the old man snorted coldly again.
"For many warriors, the corpse of the demon god is indeed a rare treasure, so it has been divided up by people. I heard that there were still conflicts there, and dozens of lives were left there!" Jiang Kun's face showed a little sadness, "Alas, people die for money, birds die for food, warriors are running around for these treasures of heaven and earth. It's so sad and lamentable!!"
In front of everyone in the Six Gate, Jiang Kun actually sighed on the spot. What was difficult to do was to keep the water leaked, but he didn't take Mr. Zhu about Tie Jun.
"No matter what, Tie Jun is the key figure in this case, and he must be found first!" Yu Jie suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke.
"This case?!" Jiang Kun was stunned, with a confused look on his face, and asked the prefect Chen Zhenbang in confusion, "Has this case been filed? Lord Chen, is the official document there?!"
Chen Zhenbang also looked puzzled, "Old Zhu, do you really need to check this matter in detail?! Official documents...!"
No wonder he was surprised that the Tang Dynasty's laws were very strict. Even if it was six gates, it was necessary to complete all the procedures. Although the four people in front of him were from six gates, they did not carry official documents and asked the local government to assist in the investigation of the case. This was a bit unreasonable.
Of course, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty has passed, and prosperity is gone, and many rules are in name only. Big bosses like Zhu Lao, who have six doors come to the same place. Even if there is no official document, it is often just a matter of one sentence. But obviously, this set is useless today. Jiang Kun actually cares about their official document, so where do they have this thing?
Although Ming Jian killed the demon god, refined the divine seal, and the matter of being a god on the ground made many people jealous, this kind of thing did not violate any rules, because Ming Jian had already retreated from the six doors because of a broken arm. Strictly speaking, he was not a person of the six doors, so he did not need to abide by the unspoken rules of the six doors. This kind of thing was his opportunity, and he had no reason to give it to others.
Others are jealous, but they can only act privately. It is difficult to actually do something big. After all, Ming Jian has some foundation in the Six Gates.
Therefore, this time was just a private action by Mr. Zhu's lineage, and there was no official document at all, and it was not a business.
"This matter is somewhat controversial among the Six Gates. This time we came here just to learn more and make a decision!"
When Yu Jie was asked, a strong man beside him said, "If Lord Jiang finds it inconvenient, we can deal with it ourselves."
"Tie Jun is the county magistrate of Dongling. Even if he takes leave, the time will probably not be too long. If the adults really feel it is necessary, they just need to go to Dongling. Even if he doesn't go back for a while, it will only take ten days at most!"
"Since that's the case, thank you!" A hint of coldness flashed in the strong man's eyes. He stopped talking. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold, and there was a sense of embarrassment. After a lot of passing, he heard Mr. Zhu say, "Let's go here today!" After that, he stood up and left the prefect's ruling office. Chen Zhenbang and Jiang Kun still saw each other respectfully, but there was no longer the harmonious atmosphere before.
Standing at the front of the government office and looking at the background of the four people, Chen Zhenbang said helplessly to Jiang Kun, "Sir Jiang, this time, we really offended this Mr. Zhu!!"
"If you offend me, offend me. It's better than offending the God of Zhangshui River. Mingjian has become a foregone conclusion based on Zhangshui. It is not possible to change it by the court alone. It can be seen from Tie Jun's sudden disappearance that he was prepared. It seems that Lord Ming knows a lot about the Six Gates!"
