Chapter 921

A few streets away, Xilinglan turned her head as if feeling something, showing a murderous smile.

After turning a few streets, everyone stopped.

In front of him is a dilapidated mansion with a small area. Look at the gate, the paint on it is almost peeling off, and the plaque on the gate creaks and crumbles when the wind blows.

Xilinglan frowned and looked at the dangling plaque on the door, with a few large characters on it: Suijun Sheriff's Mansion, with gold letters on a black background, but unfortunately, the gold letters lost their luster and were very dim due to the wind, sun, and rain.Although the plaque is dim, it still has a lingering prestige, but it looks awkward no matter how you look at it with the narrow gate.

There is actually only one stone lion left at the door, and it is still missing a leg.

Everyone's faces turned dark, what are you kidding, this is the Sheriff's Mansion?It is small and dilapidated, compared with the surrounding big houses, it is simply shabby and dilapidated.

Zi Shiyi got off his horse and pushed open the door carefully. As a result, as soon as he tried hard, the door creaked, and then fell to the ground with a "boom--", shaking up a large pile of dust.

Zixi still kept pushing the door, and was stunned for a long time before withdrawing his hand.

The door is knocked down, and everything in the mansion can be seen in front of the eyes. The stone slabs on the ground are uneven, and it looks like it was made casually. In the cracks between the stone slabs, weeds grow robustly. The doors and windows of the front yard hall are all open, and they creak with a gust of wind. Loud, what a bleak scene.

Xilinglan felt that this sheriff's mansion was comparable to the small dilapidated courtyard she had just crossed over, but at least her own courtyard was cleaner than this one.

Everyone looked at everything in front of them, and turned to look at their master, only to find that his master seemed to be in a trance, and he didn't dare to express himself, for fear of interrupting his master's train of thought.

After a long while, Xilinglan said, "Xu Mengchen, this is the county guard's mansion? Where do you usually live?"

Xu Mengchen answered somewhat embarrassedly: "Boss, we don't have many people left. The county guard's mansion is too dilapidated to live in, so we rented a small courtyard of an inn on the opposite street to live temporarily."

Following Xu Mengchen's fingers, Xilinglan saw the two-story inn opposite the Sheriff's Mansion, with a big plaque hanging on the door: Yuelai Inn, which looks a bit more luxurious than the Sheriff's Mansion.

Everyone looked at the inn, and then at the sheriff's mansion, and those who had the same aspirations fell silent.

Xilinglan had only one thought: the former sheriffs, come out and let's talk about life.

After all, he is an official of the imperial court, how weak he is, mixed up like this, the mansion of a majestic county lord is actually not as good as an inn, why don't you die!

No matter how resentful you are, you still need to arrange board and lodging. Xiling Lan looked at the large mansions on both sides of the Sheriff's Mansion, and asked Xu Mengchen, "Whose do the next few houses belong to?"

A trace of anger flashed across Xu Mengchen's face: "There are a few houses nearby, the Ding's Mansion on the left is the house of the manager of Ding's Grain Shop, the largest in Sui County, and the Liang's Mansion on the right is the house of the head of the Weiyuan Escort Bureau. , the few households around here are all famous figures in Sui County."

Xilinglan knew it well, and signaled Zixi to go to the opposite Yuelai Inn to pack everything up as a temporary shelter, and then asked Xu Mengchen to take the hundreds of brawling men to the prison.

Who knew that Xu Mengchen's face showed embarrassment: "Boss, the prison in Sui County is useless. There are only two small earthen huts to the east of the county guard's mansion. How can it accommodate so many people?"

Xiling Lan suddenly had the urge to go back to Chu Feng and drag the Emperor out to talk about life. She endured it and snorted coldly. Say it again."
