Although the government officials pounced on him, they did not arrest Bai Ze. They were just showing off in front of the Bai family. Since Bai Junshan was knocked unconscious, of course they didn't care.
"Your Majesty the Demon Master, my Lord is here to invite you!"
The market administrator who had disappeared before quietly appeared and spoke respectfully to Bai Ze.
Bai Ze knew why these people invited him. They just wanted to see his ability to identify treasures at a glance.
All goods entering the market must first be inspected at the market management office to prevent the entry of dangerous goods. At the same time, the goods are valued and the owner of the goods must pay the management fee for entering the market based on the price of the goods.
The people from the government must have wanted Bai Ze to look at these goods when they entered the market. If the treasures were discovered, the government would buy them immediately.
In this way, people in the government can make a fortune.
Originally, Bai Ze didn't want to go, but if he didn't go, he would offend the two biggest forces in Yong'an City.
He will definitely need to come to Yong'an City in the future. The Bai family itself is already very powerful, so the other government office will naturally need to be maintained, and maybe it will be good for him.
After thinking about it, Bai Ze nodded and said:
"Okay, lead the way!"
The market manager looked happy and quickly led the way.
Ajiao and others watched Bai Ze leave and quickly packed up some of the remaining goods.
Of course, the current situation is not suitable for continuing to sell things. If the situation is not right, they will even choose to run away quickly.
This is what Bai Ze told them secretly. If something unexpected happens, they should leave Yong'an City quickly and find a place to wait for him outside the city.
Although it was not yet time to run away, they had to make preparations quickly.
Ah Jiao did not forget Bai Ze's explanation. He first went to Bai's medicine hall and bought the soul-reviving pill with the money from the sales. Then he used the remaining money to buy a large amount of daily necessities and asked other people in the village to quickly put the things away.
Send it back.
Ah Jiao stayed in the city and waited for Bai Ze.
Bai Ze followed the administrator all the way to a magnificent mansion.
In Yong'an City, the only people besides the Bai family who dared to build such a good house were the government officials.
The honorable name of Yong'an City is Yun Sheng. I heard that he was demoted from the capital of God to come here.
When I first came here, I heard about the behavior of the Bai family and wanted to change the situation. However, after being here for ten years, nothing worked. In the end, I resigned myself to my fate and bowed my head in front of the Bai family. As long as it was not a big deal, I usually turned a blind eye.
Close one eye.
Bai Ze originally thought that he was meeting with the officials in charge of the market, but he did not expect to meet the Fu Zun directly.
"Sir, people have been brought here."
After the two were guided to the living room, the administrator said respectfully and left.
"come in."
A very thick voice came from the living room, with a majestic tone, and the image of a serious middle-aged man automatically appeared in people's minds.
Bai Ze walked in, and there was a middle-aged man in rich clothes sitting at the main seat in the living room, holding a book in his hand and reading. He only raised his head after Bai Ze came in.
Sure enough, he had a square face and was not angry, and his eyes especially revealed a very stern light, as if even if he had done nothing wrong, he had to kneel down and admit his mistake just in front of these eyes.
"Do you also cover up with a mask when you see me?"
Yun Sheng was annoyed the most by such secretive people. When he saw Bai Ze wearing a mask and a black robe, his brows furrowed unconsciously.
"My personal habit is, if the governor doesn't like it, then I'll just leave."
Bai Ze resigned directly.
He didn't want to deal with the government in the first place, and he came here just because he didn't want to antagonize the government. Since Yun Sheng didn't like it, he could just leave in good faith.
"Wait a moment!"
Even though he wasn't happy, Yun Sheng still tried to persuade him to stay.
"Aren't you curious why I want to see you?"
"It's just because I have a fancy for my ability."
Bai Ze's directness really made Yun Sheng feel good about him, and he was even more annoyed by those people who were twisting around and pretending not to know anything even though they knew it in their hearts.
"That's right. You can spot treasures at a glance. Whether it's your talent or your magic, it's very useful. I want you to help the government and get a good salary. Are you willing?"
Bai Ze shook his head directly. He had never had this idea in the first place. Entering the officialdom would be more tiring and troublesome than being in a big family, and he didn't like it.
"I also know that it is difficult to force others. Since you don't want to, I won't force it. But don't you want to know what is happening to the piece of cloth you were interested in at the beginning?"
Yun Sheng seemed to have already prepared in his heart that Bai Ze would refuse, so he was not surprised or curious, and did not even ask why he refused.
But his last sentence really made Bai Ze feel a little curious.
He just wanted to buy the dark green disk, so he casually made up a story about the rag being a treasure to attract people's attention.
This is also the most important evidence that he is mistakenly thought to have the ability to spot treasures.
"Now the piece of cloth has changed hands three times and was taken out of Yong'an City by a second-level demon master. The person who first held the piece of cloth was already dead. A quarter of an hour after he left the market
Found dead in an alley."
Yun Sheng's words made Bai Ze suddenly fall silent.
He was just saying it casually, just to keep people's attention away from him. He didn't expect that it would cause a person to lose his life.
According to his original thoughts, the middle-aged man was not very strong, and he was not a strong-willed person. If someone wanted to snatch the rag, he would hand it over to ensure safety. How could he lose it?
What about his life?
When Yun Sheng said these words, what he cared about was not the dead man.
"You were the first to see what was special about that piece of cloth. I asked the market official, but he didn't see anything special about that piece of cloth. I want to ask you, what is that piece of cloth?
Is there something special? Is it a record of some secret method, or is it a damaged demon treasure?"
This may be the biggest doubt in the minds of everyone who knows about it. Even the person who has already grabbed the rag may be full of doubts.
"That's actually just a piece of rag."
Bai Ze said in a deep voice.
"Please allow me to ask the Lord, do you know where the man fled outside the city?"
He didn't kill the middle-aged man, but he died because of him. This made Bai Ze feel very heavy in his heart. He felt that he should do something.
Yun Sheng looked at Bai Ze for a while, and then said:
"The man left the city and went straight to the Black Mist Mountain. He should be a bandit there. There are countless bandits in the Black Mist Mountain. Three of them are leaders. They are all third-level cultivation. My people saw that man
Once we entered the Black Mist Mountain, we stopped pursuing him."
Black Mist Mountain Bandit, Bai Ze remembered this name.
