Chapter 679 The last leg of the New Years Praise(1/2)
This place is not far from the government office. As soon as I heard that the "big monster carrying a volute" had appeared, the officials rushed here at a record-breaking speed.
The leader stood on the edge of the board and took a look. His palms were sweating. He quickly turned around and gave the order:
"Let the magician arrange the forbidden escape technique, quickly, quickly!"
Isn't this the legendary snail toad that brought disaster to Chiyan? It actually appeared in Lingxu. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
As long as you catch it, you will be promoted to a higher position and become a leader!
They specially brought several magicians over, and upon hearing the order, they dispersed and went to bury weapons in the four corners of the warehouse.
I heard that this big monster is very good at escaping from the ground, so let’s abolish its signature skill and turn it into a turtle in a urn!
There are seven or eight versions of Snail Toad in Lingxu City, but unfortunately, none of them can cover all its skills, such as those unique to frogs and chameleons——
Long tongue curling cumshot!
The officer leader shouted a few words at the top of his lungs to his subordinates. Just as he had assigned the task, suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air from behind.
Before he had time to react, he was swept back.
Snail Toad thought he was too noisy, so he rolled him back with a flick of his tongue in full view of everyone, and was suffocated!
The distance between the two was a full two feet, and the toad's tongue broke two wooden boards when it popped out.
This speed breaks people's stereotype of snails being slow.
Seeing that this thing actually had long-range attack skills, the crowd around them screamed and fled in all directions.
The snail toad smacked its lips, as if after a while, then plunged into the ground and disappeared without a trace.
The magician hadn't set up the escape circle yet, and the prey had escaped.
One person died in the line of duty.
After dark, Nanxinzhuang is still brightly lit.
The demon-slaying murderer Bai Shaqiang actually showed up in Lingxu City. Such sensational news was spreading. The Nancheng Bureau immediately mobilized all its forces to interrogate every witness.
The children had long since disappeared without a trace. Mrs. Liu, as the first discoverer, was questioned repeatedly.
"Sir, I've told you this several times!" She cooperated obediently at the beginning, then became dry and a little impatient. "I don't know when the monster came. Anyway, it fell down when I saw it.
In the warehouse, I accidentally touched the board, and when it turned around, it still had something in its mouth! It seemed to be grass or herbs."
The official showed her the herb: "Is it this kind of herb? Are you sure?"
"It should be, right?" Mrs. Liu scratched her head, "I'm not a doctor, how can I identify them so carefully? Aren't they everywhere in the warehouse?"
"What kind of goods does this Baisong Warehouse usually carry?"
"I don't know. Cars usually come and go, but who cares about this?" Mrs. Liu was confused, "They didn't invite me to come in and guard the house."
It made sense, so the officials took some of the guards back and interrogated them severely.
These guys were so frightened that they said they had never seen a snail toad before. When it rained heavily, they were all fast asleep in the house and had no idea that such a huge creature had entered the yard.
"What happened to the Prunella vulgaris in the warehouse? Where did it come from?"
"That's...the goods." They only load and unload goods and guard the house. Can they also care about where the owner buys the goods?
Finally, the steward of Baisong Warehouse was also found.
He flatly denied that the warehouse stored Prunella vulgaris, but the list found by the officer in the warehouse clearly stated:
"Prunella vulgaris, 1,300 kilograms,... put into storage."
The date of storage and the source of the herbs were wet with water and smeared with ink, making them unknown.
Involving the elixir case, the Nancheng Bureau did not dare to delay and reported it quickly.
Such a large and important case can be handled with impressive efficiency.
Soon, the owner behind the Baisong Warehouse was also found out. It turned out to be the general of Yuan Kingdom, the general of Xunzhou Mu Nian Zanli Nian!
…
Before dawn, Nian Mansion welcomed uninvited guests:
Ting Wei Huo Jian, Du Yunshi Bai Ziqi, and their heavily armed troops.
Nian Zanli has always had the habit of getting up early. He had just finished washing up when he received the news that two senior officials had come to visit, and his heart couldn't help but thump.
Why are these two people?
Tingwei never does anything good when he comes forward, let alone Du Yunshi.
Nian Zanli did not dare to neglect, and went out to greet him: "Mr. Bai, Mr. Huo, what kind of wind has brought you two here?"
Huo Jian asked him: "Does the Baisong Warehouse in Nanxinzhuang belong to you?"
"...I bought it at the beginning of the year." Nian Zanli's heart sank. Something happened to the house on Xiangmai Street just a few days ago. Officials had already come to see him once. He felt something strange at that time, but nothing happened later.
People come to him again, what is this now?
He asked cautiously: "What happened to Baisong Warehouse?"
"Sir Nian, please come with us." Bai Ziqi smiled, "We will talk slowly on the way."
"Ah? This?"
The silent Tiangong guards immediately surrounded him.
There were few people in the early morning, but with such a large formation outside Nian Mansion, pedestrians still stopped one after another.
There is a restaurant and inn in the block outside Nianfu, which is open all night long.
He Lingchuan was sitting by the window on the second floor, drinking wine and eating side dishes, and had a panoramic view of the scene happening below.
He came at night to get to an excellent viewing position so he could watch the excitement of the first crop.
Although the light was dim, with his eyesight he could still clearly see Nian Zanli being surrounded by the Tiangong Guards. The expression on his face changed from confusion to shock, and then from shock to confusion.
Bai Ziqi still saved some face for him, found a carriage and invited him to take a seat.
Nian Zanli seemed a little excited, but Lieutenant Ting stepped forward and said a few words to him. Nian Zanli was like a deflated ball, turning around and boarding the carriage.
Then the carriage started slowly and headed northeast.
The guards surrounded it in the middle with great momentum.
He Lingchuan shook the cup and toasted it with a glass of wine: "General Nian, have a good trip."
He came here to send New Year's greetings, and as he wished, he saw the rolling carriage, taking away all the ambitions of the New Year's greetings.
It will be sunrise in another hour, and he hopes to appreciate the New Year's praises as soon as possible.
Maybe Nian Zanli won’t be able to see the sunrise more than a few times for the rest of his life.
No matter the prison in heaven or the prison in heaven, it seems that they never see the light of day.
"The big trouble in Yuan Kingdom has been solved, congratulations." He held the soul-capturing mirror in his arms and said with a smile, "Can he still come out?"
"Probably not possible." He Lingchuan's mood also became lighter.
Once he is targeted by the Heavenly Palace, Nian Zanli will have to shed his skin even if he doesn't die. Want to attack the Yuan Kingdom? Hehe, he should worry about his own life first.
"Since he wholeheartedly wants to recognize Bega as his master, then thunder, rain, and dew are God's blessings, and he has to accept them."
The soul-capturing mirror sighed: "If you deal with Nian Zanli, you will prevent a huge disaster for the Yuan Kingdom. It's a pity that the Yuan Kingdom knows nothing about this!"
Nian praised and borrowed troops, but the success was almost complete, and the Yuan Kingdom also avoided more than one military disaster.
For this weak country, it may be able to survive for a few more years.
"This trouble started and ended because of me. It's fair. Besides, I don't care whether Yuan Kingdom knows about it or not." He Lingchuan raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, threw down a piece of silver, stood up and left.
Two of his four major tasks in Lingxu City have been completed on time and as expected.
Next, he will go all out for the Xushan Project!
…
Tourists who have been to Tiangong will hear the tour guide mention that there is also a prison on Tianshu Peak, and evildoers who offend the gods are imprisoned here, which is called Yang Palace.
It is located behind the Star-Zhaing Tower and is not accessible to idlers. It is actually a cave-like prison made by hollowing out the mountainside. There is only one passage in and out.
Of course, the Bega gods have a relatively broad definition of the word "offense". Common people usually say a few disrespectful words, but they turn a deaf ear. After all, Lingxu City advocates a free atmosphere. But if you take practical actions, then
To be continued...
