Chapter 471 Civil servants in the border city

Xiong Damao, the eldest son of the city lord Xiong Ba of the deserted city in the Western Region, was assassinated in the city lord's mansion. The deputy city lord Xiong Kuang was so furious that he ordered the whole city to arrest Aman and others, vowing to capture the murderer and execute him in Lingchi.

The City Lord's Mansion is the highest authority in the Border City of the Western Region. With Xiong Kuang's order, the entire Border City of the Western Region fell into panic. The bulletin boards were filled with portraits of Aman and the other three people, who dared to hide wanted criminals.

All of them will be executed, and those who report will receive generous monetary rewards. Countless masters from the city lord's palace gathered in groups to conduct carpet searches in the city. The superiors issued death orders to kill Aman even if he dug three feet into the ground.

The person was arrested and brought to justice.

After Linghu Chong rescued Lin Wanru and Aman from the City Lord's Mansion, he did not leave Bianhuang City immediately. Instead, he took a few people to a restaurant for a feast. In Linghu Chong's eyes, the City Lord's Mansion, which looked like a mountain, was nothing.

It's not worth mentioning, so there is no need to be afraid of the City Lord's Mansion. Not to mention some low-class trash warriors, even the peerless master Xiong Ba would be hated on the spot.

At Man Shan's strong request, Linghu Chong, who was full of wine and food, patted his belly and Shi Shiran led a few people to prepare to leave the city. Although he knew that Linghu Chong's martial arts was unparalleled, after all, the other party was the city lord who had ruled the borderlands of the Western Region for many years.

The strong sense of oppression still made Manshan a little worried.

But at this time, the entire city on the edge of the Western Region was under martial law. Only people were allowed in and out, and there were many diners and guards from the city lord's palace wandering around on the streets as if they were searching for traces of Aman and the others. Linghu Chong didn't care.

, Manshan's face became extremely ugly. He didn't expect the city lord's palace to react so quickly, and now the situation was not good.

Linghu Chong was a road addict, so he voluntarily gave up the task of leading the team to Man Shan. Otherwise, if he were to lead the way, he would probably spin himself in circles, and he would not be able to leave the city for a day or two.

In order to avoid the search of the city lord's palace, Man Shan could only carefully lead Linghu Chong and the others through the winding, complicated and narrow alleys. He was determined not to walk on the main streets.

Linghu Chong followed Man Shan leisurely. Although he was a little curious about why Man Shan always took the small road, he did not ask. Maybe it was a shortcut. He, a road idiot, had no say in the field of leading the way. If

Let him know that Man Shan will not agree with this kind of waste of time in his heart. He can just walk on the street openly. Let's see which crooked guy dares to catch them.

"Hey, Miss Lin, Aman, we seem to be wanted!"

When passing by a remote bulletin board, Linghu Chong discovered the three sketches posted on the bulletin board. The characters in the portraits were A Man and Lin Wanru. Linghu Chong was amazed and said: "Who drew these? Technical skills

Not bad, the painting is so similar."

"What's wrong, the city lord's palace has issued a wanted order. Now the whole city is under martial law. It will be extremely difficult for us to leave the city!"

Manshan's face was extremely ugly and he said in a deep voice.

"Hey, you guys, are you carrying your bags and setting up a stall so late at night? Did you ask for business tax? Let me see the business license!"

Just when Linghu Chong was patting his chest and preparing to make bold remarks, a man in uniform with a knife appeared from the corner of the alley. He had a proud look on his face and strutted towards Linghu Chong and others.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

A murderous intent flashed in Man Shan's eyes, and he subconsciously held the hilt of the sword to kill the guy who suddenly appeared. After seeing the person clearly, he slowly relaxed his grip on the sword. He was just an ordinary inspector.

No need to treat it with such caution.

The wild land of the Western Region is sparsely populated and ravaged by poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, so commercial development is extremely lagging. Many masters gather here in the border city of the Western Region, and even the peerless master Xiong Ba leads the party. Therefore, it is a rare safe place for transactions. Compared to

In other places, ordinary people in the Western Region are more willing to come to the city to do business. Although they have to pay taxes to the city lord's palace, it is much safer than outside. There are very few cases of robbery, murder and goods.

If there are too many businesses, it will naturally need someone to manage them. The masters of the City Lord's Mansion will naturally not do such trivial things as collecting taxes to maintain order, so Xiong Ba followed the example of the Chinese imperial court and established a department of security inspectors to recruit a group of security inspectors.

Appoint security inspectors to maintain market order.

In the eyes of those martial arts masters, these security inspectors are just some low-ranking losers, but in the eyes of ordinary people, they are serious state cadres and a symbol of status, so they fight for the position of an inspector.

This happens often, and the man with a knife who suddenly appeared in front of Linghu Chong and others is a new security inspector who has been appointed in recent days.

"Of course I'm a civil servant in Bianhuang City. It's already dark today and everyone else has closed their stalls and gone home. Why are you still hanging out here? Are you thinking of setting up a night stall? Have you paid the stall fee?"

The newly appointed security inspector asked Linghu Chong and the others with his nostrils turned up in the sky with an arrogant look. At this moment, he felt so happy. This feeling of performing official duties was really enjoyable.

This man with his nostrils turned upward and a very proud expression is named Wang Erhu. A few days ago, a security inspector died unexpectedly, leaving such a coveted position. In order to compete for the job, Wang Erhu spent his family wealth and finally got through to the City Lord's Mansion.

Through a relationship with an outside manager, he finally got this job that made him extremely excited and became a glorious security inspector.

"My lord, haven't you heard?"

Linghu Chong suddenly became interested, took a step forward, and whispered mysteriously.

This guy looked too much like the urban management officials of the later generations of China, so Linghu Chong couldn't help but want to play tricks on him. It was also a sign of the bad temper he felt when he was bullied by the urban management officials in his previous life. Don't blame me, kid. It's because your demeanor is too similar to your work uniform.

In the eleventh century, the urban management of the Great Celestial Dynasty was established.

"What did you hear?"

Wang Erhu deliberately opened his clothes to reveal the waistband underneath, shook it vigorously twice, and then slowly asked Linghu Chong.

"The young city lord was assassinated in the city lord's palace. The deputy city lord issued a city-wide arrest warrant. Now the whole city is under martial law. All the experts from the city lord's palace are conducting a carpet search to apprehend the murderer!"

Linghu Chong ignored Wang Erhu's showy actions and said with a sincere expression.

"What? The young city lord was assassinated?"

Wang Erhu was so frightened that he staggered and almost sat down on the ground. As a newly appointed security inspector, he knew very well who Xiong Damao was. He was the eldest son of the city lord Xiong Ba and the crown prince of the deserted city on the edge of the Western Region. This
