Repugnant Gateway

The anger in An Zheng's heart has reached its extreme. Tens of thousands of people have been starved to death in this neighborhood, and there is obviously a sinister scheme. The people of Daxi have always lived a prosperous life. Even if there is a natural disaster in the place, with the efficiency of the Daxi government, the relief materials will be delivered to the place soon.

Daxi ’s teleportation arrays are very densely constructed, basically as long as they are in larger cities. It does not take long to transfer food from other places or directly from the Holy Family Department.

Before Anzheng came, he requested a map of Daxi from the branch of Dantaiche, which was quite detailed. It would be nice if you carried the Inverse Seal, the map in the Inverse Seal is more detailed. An Zheng unfolded the map, and after looking at it, he found that it was a large city about six hundred miles further, called An Ancient City.

An Zheng remembered this, and he still had some understanding of An Ancient City. When I was working on a case, I had deep contact with the lord of Angu City and had a good relationship.

The system of Daxi officials is different from that of ordinary countries. The city owner is equivalent to the prefect of the Yan Kingdom. The small city owner has a jurisdiction of about several hundred miles, and the large city owner has a jurisdiction of several thousand miles. These city lords were all born from large local families and were appointed by the Holy Court.

Although the Zhou family's strength in the local area is not one-of-a-kind, but because the Zhou family is an official in the Holy Court, this city owner will naturally fall into no other family. An old man from the Zhou family worked in the Santing Star Division, and was a fortune-teller with great reputation in Daxi.

Although An Zheng didn't believe in the astrology, the emperor Chen Wunuo was quite concerned about it. Therefore, although the stars have no real power, they have a high status. The old man of the Zhou family has been in the Star Eye Division for seventy years, and can say quite a few words in front of the Holy Emperor Chen Wunuo.

Zhou Shen is very just, this is the original judgment of An Zheng. At that time, the case was handled by a person from the Zhou family. If Zhou Shen didn't help, it would be a bit troublesome. However, after Zhou Shen determined that the evidence for the Anzheng controversy was conclusive, Dayi killed his parents and personally arrested them and sent them to Anzheng.

Anzheng'an Ancient City had long talks with Zhou Shen through the night before, knowing that it was an ideal and ambitious person, and the biggest ideal was to manage Angucheng into a perfect place where the roads were kept and the nights closed. Zhou Shen said several times that he wanted no evil in the ancient city of An. Ordinary people can live as they please, without worrying about being violated.

This is difficult, but Zhou Shen does a good job. In order to protect the interests of ordinary people, they dared to face each other from the other big families in the ancient city and fought a few battles. Therefore, in An Gu, in fact, Zhou Shen's popularity at the family level is not good. The people love it, but even the people inside the Zhou family are very stern about him.

After all, a family member has become a city owner. If the family does not get more benefits from it, then the city owner will certainly suffer some rejection.

But fortunately, Zhou Shen will not be grasped by anyone, plus the old man of Star Eyes has been particularly good to Zhou Shen since childhood, and the people of the Zhou family cannot shake the status of Zhou Shen.

Since this is what happened in the ancient city of An, there is a deep presence, so it is easy to check. Ann contends that the death time of these people is within a few hundred years, possibly within a few decades, and the last time he came was thirty years ago. I haven't been here at that time, and I don't know if it happened at that time.

However, An Zheng believes in his eyesight. He knows that Zhou Shen will definitely check if such things happen. Zhou Shen did not mention that it should have happened before he became the city owner, he did not know. Now it is time to find out who the last city-owner of Angu was.

An Zheng straightened out his thoughts and immediately set off. At his speed, the distance of six hundred miles was nothing. Going forward with all my strength, I can't use Anzhan for a day and I'm already outside Angu.

It is almost the same as when it came thirty years ago. The ancient city of An'an still looks orderly. The number of defenders at the gate is very small, which is a kind of self-confidence. Because the security of the ancient city of An has always been very good, the people will not make trouble casually.

As for those of the big family, everyone knows Zhou Shen's temper, nothing to do against him, it is not as good as making a fortune.

Although the number of soldiers guarding the city gates was not large, they were all extremely capable men. They saw at a glance that Anzheng was coming from afar, even if the clothes on Anzheng were not even dusty at all.

"stop."

A headed soldier came over to stop Anzheng: "Where did you come from, what are you doing in An'an Ancient City? When will you leave?"

An Zheng thought for a while, and for the time being, he did not have to disclose his identity as Yan Guohugong, but fortunately he had already made preparations. He took out a name post and handed it to the soldier: "I am the shopkeeper of the Yanguo branch of Qingzhai and went back to the Daxi head office to report on his job."

His famous post could not be true anymore, it was originally given to him by Dan Taicher. Although Qingzhai does not have much influence in Daxi, after all, hundreds of branches are open, and its reputation is still not small.

After seeing the soldier for a while, he naturally couldn't see any flaws, and when asked, he let it go.

Anzheng walked in and stood still again, turning back and asking the soldier: "Will the city lord be in the city recently? I am the head of the person and I want to see the city lord."

The soldier replied: "The city owner has not left the ancient city of An for thirty years. It seems that you haven't returned in a while."

An Zheng knew that the soldier was still tempting. He smiled and replied: "This is the first time I came to the ancient city of An. When I was a few years old, I followed the family to the south."

The soldier smiled: "Your business is hard, but you can really make money."

An Zheng: "You have good eyesight and you can come to Qingzhai if you look back."

The soldier smiled even brighter: "Don't make a fuss anymore. We are the people who see more people every day. It's okay to see people. The things are pure laymen. If you're not afraid that we will deal with Qingzhai's business Smashed, our brothers will go to you to get rich. "

Anzheng laughed and said goodbye.

After entering the city gate, An Zheng did not deliberately walk quickly. There seems to be no change in this city, but An Zheng vaguely vaguely feels a little uncomfortable. A city that has not changed in decades may not necessarily be a good thing.

Walking straight down the street, Anzheng naturally remembered where the main palace was, but pretended to find someone and asked. He always felt that someone was watching behind him, dissipating in the dark.

Outside the gate of the city's main palace, An Zheng found that there had been some changes. When Anzheng came thirty years ago, there were a few guards outside the city's main palace, but now there is no one, and the gate is open and not fortified.

An Zhengmai stepped on the door. An old man cleaning at the door looked back at him and said lightly: "If there is anything to see the lord, please write in the book at the door to make an appointment. The lord is too busy. People and Things between the people are written on the book on the left. Things between the people and the family are written on the book in the middle. Things between the people and the court are written on the book on the far right. "

After he finished speaking, he continued to sweep his head.

An Zhengde posted a famous post: "Trouble you, please let me know, I am sent by the proprietor of Qingzhai, there are important things to see the city master, very anxious."

There is also Qingzhai in the ancient city of An, so the old man did not doubt anything. He stood up and glanced at An Zheng, and then he froze a little: "Your eyes, I really want to see where ... Oh, it should be him. But thirty years have passed, how old are you, how is it possible? It ’s him. Besides, he ’s dead. "

A shock in An Zheng's heart!

This old man saw himself thirty years ago? ! I was investigating the case and was used to remembering the people I had met, but compared with the old man's memory, I was really ashamed. After thirty years, he can still remember his eyes. An Zheng thought about it carefully, and looked at the old man's appearance, with some vague impressions, as if he had been doing things in this gatehouse thirty years ago.

At that time, Zhou Shen had just become a city owner, and there were not many people around him. After all, not many people in the Zhou family were willing to work with him. It was the old Zhou family from the Star Division who sent some people to assist him before the city's main palace was able to function smoothly. This old man may be one of those sent by the old Zhou family.

The old man shook his head and sighed, and walked away. Obviously, it was a pity that the other party was fighting.

An Zheng looked around, and there was basically no change in the main palace. It's still simple, but clean. There are no precious flowers and trees planted in them, they are all very common varieties, but they are well managed. Zhou Shen is the kind of person who does n’t have luxury, waste, or enjoyment. The whole person is a bit rigid, but not rigid.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the old man walked back tremblingly: "You enter from here, follow the path on the left until you reach the end of the city master's study. . "

An Zheng thanked with fists, and then moved forward.

The old man looked back at An Zheng and said to himself, "What a weird young man."

An Zheng walked along the path and walked through the courtyard to the outside of Zhou Shen's study. I could hear someone talking inside, and Anzheng stood outside and waited.

There are several trees planted at the door, like a mountain peach. I don't know why. When I saw the peach tree, An Zheng couldn't help but think of the Feng Xiuyang who traded his life for the peach tree.

The people in the room did not speak very loudly, and Anzheng did not want to eavesdrop on other people's conversation. He stood a little further away and looked at the flowers and plants in the small courtyard.

It didn't take long for the house to quarrel and grow louder and louder. An Zheng looked back subconsciously, just to see a young woman fall out of the door. The woman seemed to be around 16 or 7 years old, maybe she was older, but she looked youthful.

Some practitioners who are strong female practitioners can still maintain the appearance of young people at a very old age, but there is absolutely no such youthful atmosphere. It only looks young, but one eye can betray his true age.

The girl was obviously angry, and her face was pale. She glanced at An Zheng, froze for a moment, then ran away with her mouth pouted, with a scent of fragrance.

She has a very good figure. Although she is not a woman with a peerless charm, she looks first-rate. As I ran, my chest undulated slightly.

"None of him is good!"

The girl scolded Anzhen and ran out quickly. When she glared at her, she was full of disgust.

An Zheng was a little stunned and said what it meant.

Footsteps came, and Zhou Shen walked out slowly from the inside, standing at the door with a sigh. He glanced at An Zheng and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, that is my daughter, who has been spoiled since childhood. You are Qingzhai person? What are you looking for me for?"

daughter?

An Zheng was stunned for a while. After thirty years, a lot of changes have taken place. However, I have never heard of Zhou Shen having a wife. At the beginning, he said that for the people of Angu, he would never marry his wife in his lifetime.

Perhaps it is the habit of contending, watching people always look at his eyes, so at this moment, he saw Zhou Shen's eyes flashing.
