Chapter 51 Disaster ([-])

The windows of the main hall were closed tightly, and thick curtains were drawn. Even in the daytime, oil lamps were needed to disperse the darkness.

In the center of the gloomy hall, a bronze coffin exuding a cold luster was placed quietly.

When Jiang Yuan came to the bronze coffin, he saw that the rusty inner and outer coffins were carved with intricate patterns, most of which were covered by the rust and could not be seen clearly.In some of the clearer places, some text can be seen.

But Jiang Yuan couldn't understand those words. According to his memory of studying hard, he vaguely deduced that this should be a very ancient language.

Fei Qingquan came to Jiang Yuan and said:
"The five ghosts came to Yangcheng for this thing."

Jiang Yuan asked:

"What's inside? A dead person? A ghost? Why don't you open it and take a look?"

Fei Qingquan shook his head:
"You can't guess wildly, and you can't move lightly."

"Is it so dangerous?" Jiang Yuan frowned, and looked at the bronze coffin carefully again.

The bronze coffin doesn't look very strong, and Jiang Yuan can slap it apart.but what's inside
Jiang Yuan suddenly felt a breath, which was very similar to the power of inheritance. It was as refined and pure as Lu Junsheng's moon-shaped jade.

Simultaneously with that breath, there is also a gaze
Jiang Yuan was startled and couldn't help taking a step back.

When I sensed it carefully, the breath and gaze disappeared, and I don't know if it was an illusion.

Fei Qingquan noticed Jiang Yuan's strange behavior and asked:

"Did you feel it too? You're about to wake up, if you guessed right."

Jiang Yuan asked coldly:

"Since this thing is unknown, why should it stay in Yangcheng?"

Fei Qingquan smiled bitterly and said:

"At first I reported it to my superiors without thinking too much, but in the end I was ordered to keep it for protection. As I learned more and more, I realized that the disaster in Yangcheng today was all due to my carelessness .”

Jiang Yuan asked:

"Is there a turning point?"

Fei Qingquan nodded:

"The biggest turning point is to wait for the people sent from above to transport it away. But the five ghosts are obviously one step ahead, I don't want to just sit and wait like this, so tomorrow, no matter what, I have to see Shangdong Chongjun and say goodbye to him." He couldn’t care less about asking for help.”

Jiang Yuan asked:

"To pay a great price?"

Fei Qingquan sighed and said:

"I have prepared five hundred death row prisoners as a gift for meeting Dong Chongjun."

Jiang Yuan didn't expect to use a living person as a meeting ceremony. Could this be what Lu Junsheng called living person sacrifice?

In the eyes of the royal family, are living people just like monetary gifts?Or, like livestock in captivity?

he asked:
"There are so many prisoners in our Yangcheng Prison?"

Fei Qingquan said:
"There are only fifty prisoners in the prison. For the rest, the members and family members of the Dahe Gang are good choices. This is thanks to you, Jiang Yuan, who killed their leader first, and we saved a lot by arresting them." trouble."

Jiang Yuan's heart sank slowly. Regarding the Dahe Gang, he never thought of eradicating all its gang members.

Unexpectedly, Fei Qingquan had already started to act and arrested more than 400 people in one day.Among them, how many are heinous gang members and how many are innocent people, who can say clearly.

Jiang Yuan sighed secretly, and bid farewell to Fei Qingquan:

"Master Star Supervisor, I will take my leave first. I will go back and prepare for the escort of the prisoners."

Fei Qingquan nodded:

"There is Lao Jiang to arrest the head."

Jiang Yuan left the government office and returned to the county government office.

The county government is organizing funerals for Zhou Cunjian's death.

The yamen servants were very disturbed, even Zhou Cunjian was killed by the demon, how could these little yamen servants protect themselves?

The two officers of the garrison army were waiting in the barracks.

The military room is in charge of recruiting soldiers, horses, and training young men throughout the county.In addition, matters such as post stations, shop soldiers, city defense, and bandit suppression are also under the jurisdiction of the military room.

In the past, Zhou Cunjian took care of all the affairs of the military room, but now Jiang Yuan is temporarily in charge of the post of county lieutenant, so he needs to start worrying.

After getting acquainted with the relevant matters with the two officers, Jiang Yuan ordered everything to remain as usual and follow Zhou Cunjian's old order.

A slight change is to deploy troops to be responsible for tomorrow's prisoner escort.

After everything was busy, the sky began to darken.Jiang Yuan had a casual meal outside, and then began to return home.

On the way home, the people on the street were still bustling with each other, and the destruction of the Dahe Gang didn't seem to have any impact on their lives.

Looking at these people who knew nothing about Yangcheng's disaster, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but think of Lu Junsheng's words.

"Could it be that Yangcheng is really going to face a crisis in three days? Lu Junsheng, how do you know?"

There are too many secrets about Lu Junsheng, not only did he dare to conclude that Yangcheng will be destroyed.Even last night, he knew clearly that Xiaolong's father was surrounded by ghosts and survived.All of this is like a prophet.

Jiang Yuan thought all the way, and came to the door of the house in a blink of an eye.

Entering the spacious house, they heard a faint cry.

Following the crying sound to the small courtyard, it was Xiao Lian who was sobbing softly on the stone table.

Jiang Yuan frowned and asked:

"Who is Di Xudong to you?"

Yu Xiaolian was a maid arranged by Di Xudong. If the two had nothing to do with each other, Jiang Yuan wouldn't believe it.

Xiao Lian raised her head when she heard the words, her eyes were already red and swollen from crying:
"Returning to my lord, the slave girl's family is poor, and her father is seriously ill. Originally, the slave girl sold herself into the brothel in exchange for father's medical treatment money. Fortunately, the head of the Di gang paid for the slave girl, let the slave girl serve the adult here, and pay attention to the adult. matter."

Sure enough, he came to monitor him, and Jiang Yuan felt disgusted, and he said in a cold voice:
"I won't embarrass you either, just go away. But, don't let me see you in Yangcheng in the future."

Xiao Lian stood up and bowed deeply:
"Thank you for your kindness!"

Jiang Yuan didn't care about her anymore. He returned to the study and took out a plant that looked like purple crystal from his arms.

This is the amethyst orchid he got from Lu Junsheng, and Jiang Yuan is also looking forward to its effect.

Amethyst Orchid can be used for alchemy or taken directly.

Jiang Yuan didn't know much about alchemy, so he simply stuffed Amethyst Orchid into his mouth.

As the amethyst orchid enters the abdomen, a warmth rises from the dantian, and soon spreads all over the body.

"It really works!"

Jiang Yuan only felt that the muscles and veins all over his body were unobstructed, and waves of strength accumulated in his muscles, and even the internal strength in his body increased a lot.

He concentrated and closed his eyes, and began to digest the medicinal effects of the amethyst orchid little by little.

Time passed, and soon it was night.

Jiang Yuan opened his eyes and said happily:
"The effect on internal strength is so obvious! The inner strength and mental methods of "Krassy Sword Technique", "Poisonous Dragon Palm" and "Bronze Armor Skill" have all been completed! The body is also stronger and tougher than before, and now I say that I have a copper-skinned iron bone No exaggeration."

When he killed Di Xudong of the Siji Realm, Jiang Yuan already knew that he was at least a warrior of the Kaiyuan Realm without using flames.

If you use flames, you can change from a warrior to a three-queen under Mu Jing who can kill ghosts.If he entered the form of flame, Jiang Yuan guessed that he could reach the strength of San Que in Mu Jing.

He drew out the saber he had newly received from the arsenal, and stabbed the point at his eyes.

The tip of the knife collided with the pupil, but there was a crisp metal collision sound, and the pupil was not damaged at all.

Even the eyes are so hard, Jiang Yuan really can't imagine how Fan Tie can hurt himself.

As for weapons like Lu Junsheng's Moon-shaped Jade Bi, it is still open to discussion.

He carefully sensed the changes in his body for a while, and then he was a little disappointed:

"Unfortunately, it has no effect on the form of flame. It seems that to make the form of flame more mature, only ghost energy can do it."

Jiang Yuan doesn't know how many powerful people and ghosts there are in this world, but he knows that he still needs more strength to protect himself.

Now he has just glimpsed the way, but there are already the top ghosts who are about to come to Yangcheng.

Faced with such a situation, it is inevitable that people will feel depressed:

"It's still not strong enough. I have to work harder, work harder to get ghost energy! Anyone who dares to stop me from becoming stronger will be killed!"

In the dark room, Jiang Yuan's eyes were full of fierceness.

Early the next morning, Jiang Yuan came to Xuanhe Ferry as agreed.

A large group of people were already waiting at the ferry, including prisoners tied up in a row, soldiers guarding the prisoners, and county magistrates Cai Xing and Xia Mingxuan who came to see them off.

Many boats have been requisitioned at the ferry, and the boatmen are already ready.

Jiang Yuan stepped forward and saluted with everyone.

At the end, Xia Mingxuan said to Jiang Yuan:
"Master Star Watcher must guard that thing in the hall, the sun will not come out, he will not leave."

Jiang Yuan nodded and said to the officer:
"Let's transport the prisoner across the river first."

Yang County and Ye County are only separated by a river, and across the wide Xuan River is the ferry of Ye County.

Looking from a distance, it was obvious that the Ye County government was also prepared, and many people gathered at the ferry and waited.

Groups of prisoners were driven by soldiers and began to head towards the ferry, and the sound of cries spread across the river.

Many people watched and discussed from a distance, but they were constantly dispersed by the suburban police to prevent accidents.

Jiang Yuan noticed that there were many women, children, old and young among the prisoners, so he couldn't help asking:

"Are those people also from the Dahe Gang?"

Cai Xing, the county magistrate, explained:
"They are the family members of the gang. If the man in the family commits a crime, the relatives will also be held accountable. The gang members of the Dahe Gang can't make up 500 people after arresting them, so we have to arrest them to make up the number."

Jiang Yuan nodded and stopped talking.

Tens of thousands of people in Yangcheng were facing a crisis, and Fei Qingquan sent 500 people to ask for help. Although it was cruel, the helplessness was understandable.

The ferries were loaded with prisoners one by one and sailed towards the opposite bank.

The sun peeked out from the top of the mountain, and Fei Qingquan finally appeared.

After a brief conversation with the group, Jiang Yuan and Fei Qingquan boarded a gorgeous boat.

This boat seems to be a requisitioned painting boat, and the owner of the boat has arranged for several beautiful women to entertain everyone.

But no one is interested, this trip is of great importance, and it is not for fun.

The boat arrived at the opposite bank smoothly, and after getting off the pier, it was received by the officials of Ye County.

Fei Qingquan and Jiang Yuan will not wait for the prisoners, the prisoners only need to be slowly escorted by the soldiers.

They took a few entourages into the carriage prepared by Ye County, and headed all the way to Ye City.
