"You're not bad either. Counting this harvest, it's almost ten million taels." Xiao Ran said.
"I haven't even got enough money to keep warm, so I'm very sad."
With a puzzled look on his face, Xiao Zhou asked doubtfully.
"Why didn't your Excellency help you purchase the elixir?"
"Ask yourself." Xiao Ran said.
"Brother Xiao, you have so much money, what are your plans?"
"Buy a house."
"Don't you own three houses? Do you still want to buy one?" Xiao Zhou was surprised.
"Money will only depreciate in your hands, but houses will not. With so many people in the capital, there are countless people who want to settle here. House prices will only rise, not fall. Buy more around here, open up the walls, and then look for
Some craftsmen will beautify it and make it comfortable to live in." Xiao Ran said.
"That's true! It's money that can be spent." Xiao Zhou nodded.
Even more anxious than Xiao Ran.
"Without further ado, let's go there now."
"Okay." Xiao Ran responded.
After leaving the yard, we walked towards Xinyi Ya.
Xinyi Dental Shop is located in Jingwenfang, which has a lot of resources and has a lot of properties here.
When you get here, explain your intention.
The boss of the tooth shop enthusiastically invited the two of them into the VIP room.
Good tea and snacks are served.
"Do you really want to buy the ten houses near No. 98?" The boss confirmed again.
The house where Xiao Ran lives is No. 98, and the houses on the left and right are No. 97 and No. 99.
"Yeah." Xiao Ran nodded.
"The housing prices there are not cheap, and there are still people living there. They have no plans to move out in the near future. If you want to buy a house nearby, you will probably have to pay a premium."
"Money is not an issue. I only have one request, that this be done as soon as possible." Xiao Ran said.
"I have a suggestion here, you might as well listen to it," the boss said.
"You already own three houses. Buying ten more houses nearby is equivalent to buying half of Xiaolong Lake. If you have sufficient funds on hand, I suggest buying nine more houses near Xiaolong Lake together. So
Once this happens, Xiaolong Lake will be your private lake, and you can build a wall around it to enclose Xiaolong Lake."
"Xiaolong Lake?" Xiao Ran was puzzled.
"Yeah." The boss explained.
"Xiaolong Lake was originally built by a first-class official at a great expense. It was connected to the water source from the viewing river. It has beautiful scenery, cultivates one's moral character, and is an excellent place for reciting poems, painting, playing chess and meeting friends. Unfortunately, with this first-class official,
The high-ranking officials were arrested, and Xiaolong Lake was abandoned and lost its previous reputation."
"According to what you said, how many thousand taels will it cost to buy 19 houses and Xiaolong Lake?" Xiao Ran asked.
The boss is holding an abacus.
The calculations started with a thunderclap.
After calculating it three times, he put down his abacus and said seriously: "It's about 21 million taels. I'll erase the fraction for you and make a total of 21 million taels."
"Brother Xiao, I am a big customer. How can I buy so many houses at once, plus Xiaolong Lake, without any discount?" Xiao Zhou interrupted.
"Master, it's not easy for us to do this. We have to ask the people living there to move out and then buy them at a premium. This will all cost money..."
Xiao Zhou interrupted him.
"Don't be miserable, we are all born and raised in the capital, and we know everything here. Just tell us if there is a discount. If there is no discount, we will find another one. There are so many dental shops, and you are not the only one who can do this."
"We really can't give you much in terms of price, and we don't make much money. But we can help you transform Xiaolong Lake and restore it to its former glory, and then send manpower to open up the 22 sets of courtyards and build
A wall connects Xiaolong Lake and the yard." The boss expressed the utmost sincerity.
"Brother Xiao, what do you think?"
Xiao Ran looked at the dental shop boss, "When can this be done?"
"Seven days! Seven days at most, this matter will definitely be completed." The owner of the dental shop calculated and said.
I paid a deposit of five million taels and the dental bank wrote a receipt.
He sent the two of them out enthusiastically.
Xiao Zhou said: "Brother Xiao, do you have so much money? How about I go back and ask my father to lend you some?"
"It's just enough to buy a house, but I have to save money in the future." Xiao Ran said.
During this trip to Qingzhou, I made about 10 million taels.
Coupled with the wealth accumulated in the past, I can just collect the money.
Xiao Zhou was envious, "Brother Xiao, you have to treat us! There is a dragon in Zuixianyuan, let us open up and play."
"Aren't you afraid that your father will get the news and come to Zuixianyuan with a stick to block you?"
"That's right! Then let's go to Chunfangyuan. I don't believe he can still block me." Xiao Zhou changed his mind.
"Okay! You go back and call the adults, as well as Chen Wenheng from Longyuan Academy. I'll call Lao Bai and Lao Zheng to get together," Xiao Ran said.
"Yeah." Xiao Zhou left in a hurry.
The capital is very large and has four counties in total: Nancheng County Government, Beicheng County Government, Dongcheng County Government and Xicheng County Government.
There is no high or low position in the four major county government offices.
But the Nancheng County Government Office and the Beicheng County Government Office are undoubtedly more prosperous, and the residents are all dignitaries.
Xiao Ran's house is right here in Nancheng.
After taking out the identity token, the government officer at the door saw a blue sword guard and bowed respectfully.
"I'm looking for Bai Zhanyu." Xiao Ran said.
Bai Zhanyu is Lao Bai's full name.
"Sir, please wait a moment, I will go in and give you a message." said the Yamen servant.
soon.
Lao Bai walked quickly from inside. After a long distance, he opened his hands and hugged Xiao Ran: "Brother Xiao."
Xiao then took a step back and said, "I don't like this."
Lao Bai was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "It's me, Meng Lang."
"Are you free today?"
"Obviously you are not free when others ask, but Brother Xiao, you are different. Even if you are not available, you must be available."
"Slippery." Xiao Ran rolled his eyes at him.
I saw that his clothes had changed and he was wearing the clothes of a fast-moving head catcher.
"Have you been promoted?"
"Luckily." Lao Bai smiled proudly.
"Very good." Xiao Ran was happy for him.
"I bought some houses, and I just happened to have nothing to do recently, so I wanted to hang out with you."
"Some? Not a set?"
"Yeah." Xiao Ran nodded.
Lao Bai swallowed hard and stretched his head: "Brother Xiao, are you still short of people for the Divine Sword Guard? Do you think I can do it?"
"What's going on here?" Xiao Ran asked.
"I don't make as much money as you do."
"We have a lot of tasks, and they are very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be in catastrophe. If you are not afraid of danger, I can help you."
"What about Xiao Zhou?" Lao Bai asked.
"He is smarter than you, and his cultivation talent is quite good, especially in body skills. He is even more outstanding. Even though he is only at the Grandmaster level now, even the average Grandmaster can't catch up with him."
Gulu!
Lao Bai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Isn't this kid really good at running away?"
"When we came back yesterday, his father led a group of people to block him at the city gate, including two great masters. They didn't even touch the corners of his clothes."
"Talent!" Lao Bai was completely convinced.
Tell the officer.
The two of them left together, on their way to the Criminal Department.
Lao Bai sighed: "Brother Xiao, you know? Lao Zheng has not been doing well recently."
"What's wrong with him?" Xiao Ran was surprised.
"Speaking of which, it is wrong to say that he is not from the right family. Lao Zheng fell in love with the daughter of the Minister of Punishment, who also had a good impression of him. If this situation continues, when the rice is cooked, even if the Minister of Punishment is unwilling, once the child is born
Once it comes out, you have to hold your nose to recognize it."
After a pause, Lao Bai felt worthless for him.
"While they were dating at the Hongxian Bridge, the Minister of Punishment somehow got the news and took them back on the spot. If the girl hadn't begged for mercy and forced her to die, Lao Zheng would have been subjected to a series of unwarranted charges.
The crime ranges from being sent to the frontier to being killed on the spot at the worst!"
"When did it happen?" Xiao Ran asked seriously.
"What happened after you left, he has now lost his official position and lives in a rented house."
"Yeah." Xiao Ran nodded.
Entering the alley, we stopped outside a remote courtyard.
Before I even entered, I heard cursing coming from inside.
"You can't even pay the rent, but you still want to live with me? Get out of here before I take action!"
The two looked at each other and entered the small courtyard without saying a word.
In the courtyard.
A fat woman with her hands on her hips, accompanied by seven or eight guards, pointed at the closed door and cursed loudly.
Hearing the footsteps coming from behind, he subconsciously looked back.
When I saw Xiao Ran and Lao Bai, the former was wearing a black brocade suit. It was made of the finest sky silk fabric and was expensive.
The latter's clothing is not bad either. Although it is not as good as the silk fabric, it still costs a lot of money.
His arrogance subdued somewhat, and he asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"
"Are you the landlord?" Xiao Ran said.
"I am! Are you?"
"What's going on?" Xiao Ran asked again.
"Humph! He has been delaying for three days and still hasn't paid me the rent," said the fat woman.
"How much?"
"Two taels of silver."
Xiao Ran took out two taels of broken silver and threw it over, "The people with you get out of here."
Fat women have very good eyesight, and judging from the way they dress, they know they are untouchable.
Furthermore.
Lao Zheng used to be an official, so it was inevitable that he would know some important people. Maybe they would just take the money, apologize to Xiao Ran and the other two, and lead them away quickly.
"I failed in my duty." Lao Bai blamed himself.
He also heard a little bit about Lao Zheng's incident, but he didn't expect it to be so tragic. There were a lot of things in the yamen, so he was busy with work and neglected it.
"It's not your fault." Xiao Ran said.
Go to the door.
The door was locked from the inside, and with a strong slap, the door bolt inside was broken, and he entered the room.
In the bedroom.
Old Zheng was so helpless that he lay on the bed like a zombie.
His eyes were empty, looking at the old and dusty spider webs above his head, with no life in sight.
Even when Xiao Ran and Lao Bai came, they seemed like they hadn't seen them before.
"Get up!" Lao Bai rushed over.
He grabbed Lao Zheng's clothes and lifted him up from the bed.
Lao Zheng remained calm, his expression did not change at all, and he allowed him to lift it up.
Seeing his appearance, Lao Bai was furious. He raised his hand to wake him up. His palm was already raised and hanging in the air, but it didn't fall down.
"I'm so angry!" Lao Bai said angrily.
He threw it violently and threw him on the bed.
"Brother Xiao, he is useless! He is no longer the old Zheng we knew."
Xiao Ran looked at him and said, "If you haven't stood up within three numbers, let's go! Once you get out of this door, you won't be in trouble."
Three breaths passed quickly.
"Coward!" Lao Bai scolded.
Turn around and leave.
When the two of them walked to the door, Lao Zheng, who was on the bed, started sobbing and rushed down as fast as he could, "Stop!"
Standing in front of the two of them, deep in the corners of his eyes was the pain that pierced his heart.
"Why bother?" Xiao Ran sighed.
Entered the house.
Lao Zheng told what happened in detail, including what happened to him after he was captured by the Minister of Punishment.
What Lao Bai said is only one-sided.
After letting him go, he sent people to deal with him secretly and robbed him of all the money he had accumulated over the years.
At the same time, he also said harsh words that as long as he was in the capital, he would be punished every time he was seen.
If he dares to get close to anyone, others will be in trouble.
"He went too far to deceive others," Lao Bai said angrily.
Xiao Ran signaled him to be quiet and looked at Lao Zheng, "What are your plans for the future?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Lao Zheng said after hesitation.
"If you need our help, just ask."
"Thank you!" Lao Zheng was grateful.
"I'm treating you to a guest today. Xiao Zhou and the others will go there. Chunfangyuan won't come back until they're drunk," Xiao Ran said.
"You guys wait for me while I clean up." Lao Zheng said.
"Yeah." Xiao Ran agreed.
He took Lao Bai out of the room and waited in the yard.
"Brother Xiao, I still feel uneasy." Lao Bai expressed his worries.
Xiao Ran shook his head and looked at the sky, "There are some things that he needs to deal with on his own."
"I understand." Lao Bai said.
After a while.
Lao Zheng walked out of the house, his clothes disappeared, his clothes were changed, although they were old but very neat, his hair was combed smoothly, tied up with a strip of cloth, and scattered casually behind him.
He stopped in front of the two of them and smiled slightly.
"Don't you know me?"
Lao Bai smiled and hit him on the chest, "Are you ready?"
"So what if it's good? So what if it's not good? This person has to look forward after all." Old Zheng said.
"Just think about it." Xiao Ran patted him on the shoulder.
Leave his residence.
The three of them arrived at Chunfangyuan and met Xiao Zhou and the others.
"Why didn't you come until now?" Xiao Zhou asked.
Just as Lao Bai was about to tell what happened to Lao Zheng, Xiao Ran secretly pulled him back and winked at him, telling him not to talk too much.
Following Xiao Zhou's words, he said, "We chatted for a while longer."
Entered the room.
Eight young and beautiful women were called.
Xiao Ran and Lao Zheng didn't want it, the four of them had two each.
"Brother Xiao doesn't like this. He's been like this after playing so many times. We can understand. Lao Zheng, what's the matter with you today? Is it because they can't sleep?" Xiao Zhou was surprised.
Lao Zheng smiled freely: "I was ignorant before, but now I have figured it out. When you understand, you will naturally understand how good your father is."
"I'd better forget it! The deep forest is so big, how can you give up everything for a tree?" Xiao Zhou shook his head.
Drink and chat.
After thirty years of drinking and five flavors of food, Xiao Zhou stood up first and said, "I'll go in first."
Smiling, he hugged the two women and entered the room next to him.
Shen Yiming asked a lot, "Is everything really okay?"
Xiao Ran shook his head, and he didn't ask any more questions. With their relationship, Xiao Ran would naturally tell him if something happened.
When they left, only Xiao Ran and Lao Zheng were left in the room.
He took the wine bottle and poured him a glass.
"Need my help?"
Lao Zheng drank the wine in one gulp and shook his head fiercely, "No! I want to solve this matter myself."
"What are you going to do?"
Looking in the direction of the border gate, Lao Zheng's eyes flashed.
"I'm going to join the army!"
"This is not a way out." Xiao Ran nodded.
He took out two books of exercises and handed them over. One was a book of exercises and the other was a natural method, both of which were of heaven level.
"I can't have it!" Lao Zheng was horrified.
He shook his head solemnly and handed the things over.
"Just accept me as a friend."
Meeting Xiao Ran was no joke. Lao Zheng understood his character and it was difficult to change his decision.
"Brother Xiao..."
Xiao Ran interrupted him, "Don't worry, mother-in-law, you are a grown man, this will only make others look down on you."
"Yeah." Lao Zheng wiped away the tears.
"When will you leave?"
"Leaving tonight."
"Be careful on the road. When you and I are reunited, I want you to be glorious and arrogant. Remember, if a young man is not arrogant, he will not be a young man in vain." Xiao Ran said.
"There will be a day." Lao Zheng said.
Finish the drink.
Xiao Ran sent him away, looked at his disappearing back, squinted his eyes, and looked at the residence of the Minister of Punishment.
Lao Zheng didn't mention anything, but he couldn't do nothing.
Even if he threatens a minister of the Ministry of Justice, it is very dangerous and will cause a lot of trouble if exposed, and he will not look back.
Don’t friends stand up for themselves in times of crisis?
A gust of night wind blew.
There was no trace of him anywhere.
The Minister of Punishment lives in Jinxiufang. His mansion is very large and luxurious.
Given his status, his family's bodyguards are very strong, and his own strength is not weak either.
Even Wensheng has some cultivation skills, which is inseparable from the fact that all people in Daxia are adept at martial arts.
"Is this right here?" Xiao Ran murmured.
Enter the courtyard.
I used my soul power to look for his traces and found him soon.
Use the art of transformation to change your appearance.
When we arrived at the study, there was a group of guards guarding the door. The leader of the guard was an eighth-level warrior of the Grand Master.
Walking out of the darkness, he walked towards the study in an open and honest manner.
The guards guarding the outside seemed to be held in place by a powerful force, maintaining their original appearance.
When you pass by them, they are still the same.
Push the door open and enter the study room.
in the room.
The Minister of Punishment is correcting documents, and there are many matters in the Punishment Department.
Some things can be pushed aside, and some things cannot be pushed away. They must be dealt with as soon as possible.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he put down his pen, looked unhappy, and looked outside coldly. He wanted to see who broke in while he was working.
A burly man, wearing a black suit, walked in coldly and stopped opposite him.
The Minister of Justice's pupils shrank.
The mansion is heavily guarded, and the guards outside are also very strong.
But under such circumstances, the other party was able to sneak in silently, which shows that his strength is very terrifying.
Think of this.
There was a sudden thought in his heart, but he tried to keep his composure on his face, "What do you want to do?"
"Zheng Lin." Xiao Ran said a name.
Zheng Lin is Lao Zheng's name.
Bang!
The Minister of Punishment could no longer hold his balance and fell from his chair to the ground.
"How does he know someone like you?"
"This is not something you should consider." Xiao Ran said.
As soon as he stepped in front of him, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice took out an angry hand and slapped his palm sharply. However, when his palm reached Xiao Ran, he found it difficult to make an inch.
It was as if there was a big mountain standing in front of him. No matter how hard he tried, he could not move.
Xiao Ran took action, grabbed his neck and lifted him up from the ground.
"How does it feel to die?"
"Even if you are in the Xuanzong realm! If you go wild in the capital, you won't be able to escape." The Minister of Punishment threatened.
"Want to bet?" Xiao Ran grinned.
The Minister of Punishment was silent. He didn't dare to gamble. After finally climbing to this high position, he didn't want to die.
After a while he spoke.
"I didn't kill him or do anything to him, I just taught him a simple lesson."
"He has left the capital. This matter ends here. I don't want to see you causing trouble for him again." Xiao Ran said his intention.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency! As long as he stops pestering my little girl, I will naturally not cause trouble for him again."
"That's best."
A palm strike struck him on the head, knocking him unconscious.
Leave here and return to Chunfangyuan again.
When the Minister of Punishment woke up, he checked and found that except for a slight headache, there was no injury. He rushed out in shock and anger, grabbed the leading guard and shouted, "Someone broke in just now, do you know?"
The guard commander shook his head in confusion, "Master, did you remember correctly? We have been guarding here. Not even a human, not even a fly, can fly in."
"Trash!" the Minister of Punishment scolded.
Walking around in place with his hands behind his back.
It took a while before I made up my mind not to cause any more trouble for Zheng Lin.
The matter came to an end here, and I did not go to the Imperial Guards for help.
It's early morning.
Xiao Zhou and the others had enough fun and returned with satisfied smiles on their faces.
Seeing that Xiao Ran was the only one in the room, he looked puzzled and said, "Where is Lao Zheng?"
"He has left." Xiao Ran said.
Simply tell me what happened.
After everyone heard this, they all sighed.
Leave Chunfangyuan.
Xiao Zhou suddenly stopped and said seriously: "Brother Xiao, I won't go to your place."
Xiao Ranjing waited for the next chapter.
"Maybe my dad did the right thing."
"Aren't you afraid that he will break your legs?" Xiao Ran joked.
Xiao Zhou shook his head, "Lao Zheng's incident reminded me that I am completely unaware of my blessings."
"The fact that you can figure it out means that you have grown up. Go back, admit your mistake to your father, and go on a blind date tomorrow. After all, you are his biological child, and he will not really break your legs."
"Yeah." Xiao Zhou left.
Return home.
After Xiao Ran washed up, he lay on the bed, took out the Qingxin Sutra and started reading.
Every time you watch it, you will have a different feeling, so you can calm down and calm your mind.
See half of it.
In the courtyard, a strong wind blew out of thin air.
A man in black appeared quietly outside the study under the cover of night.
Xiao Ran looked at it calmly and then withdrew his gaze.
The other party took out a bamboo tube, pierced the window paper, and was about to blow smoke into it, when Jin Yi appeared behind him out of thin air and patted him on the shoulder.
The sudden movement startled him.
The man in black hurriedly looked up and saw a big man in golden armor, tall and majestic, staring at him indifferently without any emotion. He was shocked and angry, and punched Jin Yi in the chest with his backhand.
Bang!
Just like hitting steel, the force coming from Jin Yi was so strong that it knocked him away.
Before he could get up from the ground, Jin Yi rushed in front of him and punched him in the chest, destroying his cultivation.
Huge force entered his body, causing him to scream in pain.
Grabbing his clothes, he entered the room and threw him to the ground.
"Who sent you?" Xiao Ran put down the Pure Heart Sutra.
"No one sent me here." The man in black denied.
"Dishonest." Xiao Ran said.
"I'm not lying to you! I was passing by here and saw three courtyards connected together. They were very luxurious, so I got the wrong idea and wanted to do something and make a fortune."
"I hope you can still say that later."
Ten consecutive Tiannu Divine Fingers penetrated his body, causing severe pain, which was more terrifying than killing him.
He rolled over and over on the ground, clawing at his own flesh and blood.
After a while.
Xiao Ran temporarily relieved his pain, "Are you still going to be tough?"
"I said!" said the man in black.
After taking a few breaths, I got up from the ground, looked at the wall, calculated the distance, and when I got the result, I slammed into it.
Bang!
His head was shattered and he fell to the ground weakly.
"Dispose of his body." Xiao Ran ordered.
Jin Yi dragged his body away.
Xiao Ran's face was expressionless. Who wanted to deal with him? What was their purpose?
I can't figure it out, no clue at all.
Shaking his head, fortunately he no longer consumes brain cells.
A page of the Golden Book of Creation was opened, showing two things, three hundred thousand proficiency levels, and thirty years of martial arts cultivation.
"The rewards given by the Grand Master are becoming less and less."
Add 300,000 proficiency points to the Sword Yuan Book.
Property refresh.
Jian Yuan Bao Dian: A brief test of the surface.
There are still 150 years left in martial arts before he can break through to the seventh level of the Xuanzong realm.
Turn off the lights and rest.
Zhou Mansion.
After Chunfangyuan separated, Xiao Zhou returned home embarrassed and uneasy.
Looking at the door that was very close to me and the guards guarding both sides, my heart skipped a beat and I bravely walked out of the darkness.
One of the guards looked at his young master with sharp eyes and rubbed his eyes suspiciously.
After confirming that he had read correctly, it was really the young master, he took a step forward and rushed forward quickly.
Xiao Zhou didn't want to run away, even if the other party rushed up, he let him catch him.
But he shouted excitedly: "Come quickly! I've caught the young master."
"..." Xiao Zhou was speechless.
She glared at him fiercely, "Did you catch this young master? It was obviously me who threw myself into the trap, right?"
There was a flurry of excitement.
The guards outside, including the guards in the mansion who heard the commotion, rushed out. The commotion was very loud and surrounded him.
at last.
Xiao Zhou was "carried" to the study room.
In the study.
Father Zhou held a chicken feather blanket, looked at the shivering little Zhou, and roared: "You son of a bitch, do you still have the nerve to come back?"
He rushed up and beat him violently.
After more than ten strokes.
Zhou's father was surprised and looked puzzled: "Why don't you resist?"
"I was wrong." Xiao Zhou said simply.
Zhou's father was stunned and motioned for him to continue.
"I am so blessed that I don't know how to be blessed. I ignored your good intentions and made you worry about my affairs."
Looking at him.
Xiao Zhou said: "Father, please give me a good beating! Otherwise I will feel uncomfortable."
Father Zhou stretched out a hand and tested his forehead, "Strange! You don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense?"
Throw away the chicken feather blanket.
"Real or false?"
"Speaking from the bottom of my heart." Xiao Zhou said.
"How do you figure it out?"
Xiao Zhou poured two cups of tea, placed one cup in front of him, and briefly told what happened to Lao Zheng.
"Everyone has his own ambitions and his own ideas. You have done a good job." Zhou's father sighed.
"Brother Xiao is very nice to you, as well as Mr. Shen. It just so happens that you guys have been fine recently. I will hold a banquet at home tomorrow. You invite them over and thank them for taking care of you."
"Dad, do you know everything?" Xiao Zhou asked.
"Nonsense! Money is not everything, but you can't do it without money. You escaped from the capital and followed your Brother Xiao to Chen County to perform a mission, and then to Qingzhou. Do you really think I don't know anything?"
"Then why don't you send someone to capture me?"
"Young eagles can only truly grow up after experiencing ups and downs. Dad can protect you for a while, but he can't protect you for a lifetime. The same goes for connections. You need to manage them with your own heart. Dad's connections are not suitable for you. When you are still alive, others will think
I can sell you a favor in my father's favor. When father leaves one day, and you are not strong enough, you will naturally not be able to inherit this network." Zhou's father taught his son.
"Thank you, dad!" Xiao Zhou was happy.
"I helped calm you down on the woman's side. Now that you're back, the blind date must continue."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xiao Zhou did not refuse.
The father and son chatted for a while, and Xiao Zhou felt sleepy before leaving.
Father Zhou stroked his beard and said happily: "This child has finally grown up."
A young woman, wearing a short yellow skirt, walked out of the darkness and sat down in front of him, "Isn't this a good thing?"
"Where is your sister?" Zhou's father asked.
"Sister is already asleep."
The woman pouted, "Brother-in-law, I've been in the capital for so many days. Can you let me go out for a walk?"
Zhou's father didn't answer.
The woman said again: "Just for a moment, I promise to be back right away."
"Unless your sister nods, I won't dare to make this decision." Father Zhou was startled.
He hurriedly fled the study room.
The woman curled her lips and said, "Coward! Such a big man is actually afraid of his wife."
Xiao Zhou seemed to be at odds with Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran was still sleeping soundly when this guy came knocking on the door.
"Brother Xiao, have you gotten up?"
Xiao Ran opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the door, wanting to beat him up.
Xiao Zhou opened the door with a dark face. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xiao Ran's expression was wrong and quickly backed away: "Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you?"
"Beat you!" Xiao Ran said.
I rushed up to him, held him down and gave him a good beating, which made my whole body feel better.
"What do you want from me this time?"
Xiao Zhou felt aggrieved and pouted: "My father is hosting a banquet at home and asked me to invite you and your Excellency over."
"Your father didn't break your dog's legs?" Xiao Ran was surprised.
"It was beaten, but it was not broken. After seeing that I reflected deeply and realized that I had gone astray, I was warned and the matter was put to rest."
"After all, he is his biological child." Xiao Ran said.
"You go and notify the adults, I will be there later."
"Yeah." Xiao Zhou left.
Xiao Ran also left the mansion and walked towards the prison.
Arrive at Tianlao.
The captain happened to be busy, and the jailer pressed down the criminal and put him in the cell according to the documents.
Seeing Xiao Ran coming, the captain's eyes lit up and he greeted him enthusiastically, "Master Xiao, you are here!"
"Come and take a look." Xiao Ran said.
"You came just in time. I have something to ask you. If you don't come here, there will be nothing I can do."
Hand over a document.
After taking the document, Xiao Ran opened it and read it.
The document requires that the fish beast imprisoned in purgatory be dealt with, and every fish scale on its body must be removed, and the fish skin must be kept intact.
Ordinary monsters don't need Xiao Ran to take action.
But Purgatory is different. The demons imprisoned there are at the lowest level of the Grand Master level. The deeper the demons imprisoned, the stronger they become.
And this fish beast is at the second level of Xuanzong realm.
Close the document.
"I understand." Xiao Ran said.
He took the Xuan Kong bag and walked toward purgatory with the torture tools.
Got here.
Say hello to the eldest princess and stop at Cell No. 103.
A fish demon that was tens of feet tall, with a purple-red body, and a vertical eye between its eyebrows. A terrifying demonic aura erupted from its body.
Looking at Xiao Ran standing outside the door and the torture instrument in his hand, he glanced at him coldly, "Are you going to send me on my way so soon?"
"You are quite smart." Xiao Ran said.
He opened the cell door and walked in.
"I know you. Your name seems to be Xiao Ran, and you are specifically responsible for matters in purgatory."
"What do you want to say?"
The fish demon smiled evilly, and a strong fishy smell came from its body. Xiao Ran was disgusted and took a step back.
"I know that this day will come sooner or later. I have been preparing for this day. If the imperial court sends a great master, I may not be able to do anything."
Having said this, the fish demon was proud.
"But after observing these days, I have discovered a pattern. Unless you are absent, executions will be handled by you. And you are only at the second level of the Grandmaster Realm."
"Then what?" Xiao Ran asked.
"As long as I kill you, I will be able to get out of trouble. From now on, the sky is high and the fish can fly, and the sea is wide and I can swim. If I hide in the deep sea, the court will never catch me again." The fish demon Tu Qian saw.
"The idea is good, but the cruelty of reality is far from being as simple as you think." Xiao Ran shook his head.
"Really?" The fish demon smiled noncommittally.
"Because of this third eye?"
The fish demon was horrified and his expression changed drastically: "How do you know?"
"Your Pipa bone is sealed, and the demonic power cannot be used. And from this vertical eye, I feel a wave of pure demonic power, which should be related to your innate magical power." Xiao Ran said.
"You actually discovered it, but it doesn't matter, you're going to die anyway."
He opened his eyes vertically, and a gray light shot out and hit Xiao Ran's head.
"The frog in the well." Xiao Ran said.
The body surface shook, and the body-protecting golden light rushed out, roughly crushing the gray light.
Take a step forward.
He punched it on the head with a huge force, smashing its head on the spot and killing it.
"How dare I be on duty in purgatory without any skills?" Xiao Ran said.
A page of the Golden Book of Creation was opened, showing three things, one million proficiency levels, one hundred years of soul cultivation, and the Divine Stone of Creation.
Add one million proficiency points to Tian Jue Sword Technique.
Property refresh.
Tian Jue Sword Technique: Perfect.
There is still 380 years left before the spiritual master reaches a breakthrough level.
Divine Stone of Creation: It has a trace of the power of creation and has many uses.
Pull out the instruments of torture and begin the execution.
Remove all its fish scales and cut off its skin completely.
When finished, put it into the Xuan Kong bag.
Passing by Taoist Master Xuanyang, he called out to Xiao Ran, "Sir, please wait a moment!"
Xiao Ran stopped and looked at him in confusion.
"Sir, can you come in and talk?"
Xiao Ran opened the cell and walked in.
"What do you want to say?"
"Sir, save me! Someone wants to kill Pindao." Taoist Master Xuanyang asked for help.
"This is purgatory. It is very safe. No one can kill you unless ordered by the court." Xiao Ran said.
"You don't know their methods. If they want to kill me, there are at least a dozen ways."
"Who wants to kill you?"
"Shangqing Palace!" Taoist priest Xuanyang said.
"How did you know?" Xiao Ran asked.
"Pindao has left a backup force in the Shangqing Palace. Whenever they deal with me, the secret agent they arrange will use a secret method to notify me. By then, Pindao's heart will beat very fast. If the secret method is used three times in a row, his whole body will be restless and his blood will
The flow speeds up.”
"Why are they staring at you?"
"All things and the universe! This is a magical power cultivated by palace masters in the past, but it was stolen by Pindao. This matter is of great importance. Once it is leaked, it will shake the foundation of Shangqing Palace." Taoist Master Xuanyang explained.
"Have they arrived in the capital yet?" Xiao Ran asked.
"It should be here."
"If you want me to save you, it's not impossible. It depends on whether you are worth it." Xiao Ran said.
Taoist Master Xuanyang was silent.
"Find it out and come back to me."
Say a few words, lock the door and leave.
After leaving the Tianlao, we rushed to the Zhou Mansion according to the address given by Xiao Zhou.
It's still half an hour before noon, so I'm not too late.
The leading guard asked: "Are you Mr. Xiao Ranxiao?"
"Yeah." Xiao Ran nodded.
"My master has already given instructions. When you arrive, I will take you to the hall."
Follow him and enter the Zhou Mansion.
It has four entrances and four exits, covering a large area and the scenery in Fuzhong is also very good.
The flowers and plants are lush and full of vitality.
When he arrived at the hall, Xiao Zhou's eyes lit up and he ran over quickly: "Brother Xiao!"
The guards retreated.
Stopping in front of Xiao Ran, "Why are you here?"
"I went to the Heavenly Prison." Xiao Ran said.
"You are so dedicated." Xiao Zhou said.
Entered the hall.
Shen Yiming had arrived, and Zhou's father stood up from his chair and proactively greeted: "Here you come."
"Yeah." Xiao Ran responded with a smile.
An introduction.
Zhou's father's name is Zhou Tongyuan. He is fat and looks quite young.
Besides him, there is another woman named Shen Lu, Xiao Zhou's sister-in-law, who is about the same age as him.
After greetings.
Father Zhou said enthusiastically: "Do you mind if I call you Brother Xiao?"
Xiao Zhou was unhappy, "You and Brother Xiao are brothers, what should I do?"
"Your name is uncle." Zhou's father glared at him fiercely.
Xiao Zhou complained softly, feeling dissatisfied but not daring to resist.
Sitting on the edge like a curious baby, watching them chat.
At this time.
Shen Lu suddenly said, "Brother Xiao, are you married?"
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment and secretly said, is their family addicted to dating? Are they trying to introduce me to a marriage?
Xiao Zhou answered: "Not yet! Brother Xiao is still single. He is a diamond king. He bought nineteen houses in Jingwenfang in one go, and even Xiaolong Lake was bought."
"My lord, do you have the right to speak?" Zhou's father scolded.
Xiao Zhou shrank his neck and acted like an ostrich again.
Shen Lu asked again: "You are in such good conditions, why are you still single?"
"I'm busy with work and never have time." Xiao Ran explained casually.
"That's true." Shen Lu nodded.
Then he released a bomb, and a pair of big watery eyes fell on Xiao Ran, "What do you think of me?"
