Chapter 715 Weird
The robe on Zhou Cheng's body was a fourth-level magic weapon, which could change its appearance according to his will. He used a trick to make the pedestrians ignore him, and then used his magic power to turn the robe on his body into a white white robe.
After asking the city gate guard to check the passers-by and confirmed that it was a bad person and a refugee, Zhou Cheng entered Taifeng City. After several years, he came here again. It was a change of things and people. He had become extraordinary and entered the Linghui realm. The county magistrate who helped him in the past was already dead.
Walking on the streets of Taifeng City, Zhou Cheng could clearly feel the sad atmosphere that was almost condensed into substance. Paper money was pasted in front of each household and white flowers were hung to mourn Ji Hong, the county magistrate.
In a vague way, Zhou Cheng could still hear some crying of children, sighs of adults, and muttering of the elderly, all of which were sad because of Ji Hong's sudden death.
"Wow! How could the county magistrate die? You lied to me!"
"The county magistrate loves the people as much as his son. What a good parent and official, how could this happen? Alas."
"The world is uneven, and good people are not rewarded. What a pity Lord Ji, a good official who cares about the people."
All kinds of sounds were intertwined, and such situations could be seen everywhere, and the entire Taifeng City was in endless sadness...
In front of the prefect's house, there were even white wreaths piled up. There were probably thousands of them, and each wreath had a note on it. These were eulogies left by those who came to worship Ji Hong.
"Is this young master here to worship the county magistrate? I don't know where it came from?" When Zhou Cheng came to the gate of the prefect's mansion, a funeral manager came up to him. He needed to ask the guests' information and give a simple retribution.
Zhou Cheng knew about it, so he told the funeral manager about his origin. This manager must have seen a lot of worldly affairs. After learning about Zhou Cheng's identity, he was only slightly surprised and not too surprised.
"Zhou Qingyuan, the sixth son of the Marquis of Tiance of the Great Qi, is here to pay homage to the county magistrate!"
As the sound of sorrow and crying were intertwined, Zhou Cheng slowly approached the mourning hall, passed the guards, stopped in front of Ji Hong's spiritual position, bowed his head to express his respect.
Ji Hong's family was immersed in sadness and did not care too much about Zhou Cheng's identity. After getting up and returning the gift, they asked the manager to take Zhou Cheng to the backyard to rest.
However, the others noticed Zhou Cheng's identity, the sixth prince of the Marquis of Tiance of the Great Qi. Isn't this the Zhou Qingyuan who joined the disciple of Huaizhen Taoist of Chunyang Sect?
The true immortal of the Earth Demon, the peerless genius who survived the fifth level of heavenly tribulation in a row, is the first person in the ages!
Many rumors about Zhou Cheng appeared in the whispers of these people. Some people's faces changed slightly after seeing Zhou Cheng arrive. When Zhou Cheng was taken to the backyard for rest, they all quietly retreated.
"This manager, the county magistrate is a master from Tianchong Realm, so why is he still assassinated?" On the way to the backyard, Zhou Cheng asked the manager about the details of the assassination.
The manager shook his head and sighed, "I don't know about this. Yesterday, the county magistrate was still dealing with political affairs. At midnight, a violent light suddenly flashed in the mansion. When people went to investigate, they found that the county magistrate had fallen in a pool of blood, and his soul was smashed.
It’s really a sightless heaven. A good official like the county magistrate will die in a bad life. I just hope that the six doors can find out the truth as soon as possible and give justice to the Lord.”
"The county magistrate is an official appointed by the court, and Liushemen will definitely investigate with all their strength." Zhou Cheng asked: "I don't know if the officials are in charge, how many people have Liushemen sent here?"
The manager said: "Six Gates really attach great importance to this matter. A silver seal arrester and three bronze seal arresters came, saying that they would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly."
A silver seal and three bronze seals, that is, a Tianchong Realm and three Linghui Realm... Zhou Cheng felt a little confused. Being able to kill Ji Hong in such a short time would definitely be a killing one blow. Such a person is at least a master in the late stage of the Tianchong Realm, and he should also be very good at assassination methods.
To investigate such people, we will send one Tianchong Realm and three Linghui Realm, which is no different from delivering vegetables. Maybe if you accidentally, even the four six-door captains will be killed.
Zhou Cheng thought that under normal circumstances, if you want to investigate this matter, you have to send a Jin Zhang who has the strength of the central realm. There are probably some problems in this.
The front hall where the funeral was located was not far from the backyard. After a few words, the manager took Zhou Cheng to the backyard. Zhou Cheng couldn't continue asking, so he sat down here and looked for an opportunity to find the Six Doors to discuss intervening in the matter.
The living room in the backyard of the prefect's mansion is quite large, but most of the people who can be invited here are famous local people in Taifeng City. They are basically around forty or fifty years old. Zhou Cheng suddenly appears here, which seems a bit inconsistent.
However, this was exactly what Zhou Cheng meant. He didn't stay in this living room for a long time and found an excuse to leave. According to his spiritual sense, he found a headmaster wearing a black uniform and a bronze seal hanging on his waist, a woman.
Zhou Cheng didn't expect that the captain from the Six Sects was actually a woman, and she looked only in her twenties and looked pretty good. The captain's exclusive black outfit just highlighted her delicate figure.
"In Xiaying City, Zhou Qingyuan, I wonder what this captain should be called?" Zhou Chengbin asked politely, without any abruptness or negligence. Such actions can easily leave a better first impression.
The female captain seemed to be thinking about something. After Zhou Cheng said hello, she came to her senses after a while and said, "Just call me Shen Tongzhang. Are you here to worship the governor Ji? It seems that he is indeed concerned about the people as people say."
Zhou Cheng said seriously: "It is well known to everyone. It is a sudden disaster that makes people feel uneasy. Lord Ji is kind to me, and I want to find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible. If Shen Tongzhang needs help, I will make all my efforts to complete it even if he asks me."
Shen Tongzhang smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank you for your kindness. If there is a place in need, I will definitely go find you."
"Shen Tongzhang, Shen Tongzhang!" At this moment, a young man who looked over twenties trotted all the way and said, "Shen Tongzhang, there is a new discovery at the murder scene. Song Yinzhang wants you to go there quickly."
"New discovery!" Shen Tongzhang was slightly stunned and then said, "Let's go there quickly."
