Song Yi, the mayor of Ping'an Town, is not an accomplice of the rogue Ma San. He does not know the existence of the secret room, let alone that there is such a thing in the secret room.

This result made Li Mu a little disappointed.

However, this is a fact, not that Song Yi is deliberately hiding something.

Because during the questioning process, Li Mu used some means and learned that Song Yi did not lie.

So now on the surface, some of the connections are clear - Ma San wanted to please Song Yi, sent all kinds of property, resources and beauties, and acted like a dog, but in fact he was using Song Yi power, secretly doing things that Song Yi didn't know about.

Song Yi and Ma San are not a gang.

This is kind of interesting.

Li Mu had met Ma San. This ruffian possessed all the characteristics of a local gangster, including arrogance, domineering and recklessness. He did not look like a scheming person. He could actually hide the fact from the mayor Song Yi and do so many things. In the end, Is Ma San acting, or is there actually a clever person behind him, directing all this remotely?

Li Mu prefers the latter possibility.

So tonight, when Ma San and others were executed, where did the man behind the scenes go?

Died in the chaos?

Or escaped?

Li Mu thought in his mind and suddenly stopped.

"You go back to the inn and wait for me."

He said to Zheng Cunjian in the sedan chair.

After saying that, he flashed like a giant eagle, leaped into the air, used his light body technique to its extreme, and disappeared into the night in the distance.

…

…

Dawn.

Ping'an Town ushered in a new day of double sunrise.

The movement in Masan Manor last night still attracted the attention of some townspeople. Many people stayed awake all night. In the early morning, some bold people went to watch from a distance outside the manor and saw the government guards entering and leaving the manor. , the air was still filled with a faint smell of blood, but the usually domineering gangsters were nowhere to be seen.

Soon, a piece of news swept through the entire town like a hurricane.

The rogue Ma San and his gang were served in a pot.

At first, some people didn't believe it.

But as the town government posted a notice, the news was completely confirmed.

Moreover, the official announcement was stern and listed more than 30 crimes against Ma San and others. The implication is that these gangsters are innocent and will not pursue others. Instead, they cleverly worded it to appease the townspeople. The mayor, Lord Song, He also specifically pointed out that he would spare no effort to improve the security of Ping'an Town and crack down on all kinds of crimes of provoking quarrels and provoking troubles.

The entire Ping An Town was boiling.

Over the years, Ma San and his gang of scoundrels have caused considerable harm to the townspeople. Some have suffered injuries and broken bones, some have died on the streets, and some have had their families broken up and their lives broken. It can be said that the people are boiling with resentment. They dare to be angry but dare not Yan, now, this group of scourges was killed overnight, and not a single one was left.

God, could anything be more exciting for the townsfolk?

Soon, firecrackers sounded all over the town.

There were cheers everywhere.

Among the cheering crowd were Cai Cai and his grandson.

"Grandma, Brother Luanlai is really..." Xiao Caicai stood in front of the notice, her big eyes filled with excitement. She knew a little bit of the 'insider'. Brother Luanlai said that he was going to clean up the horse. This group of three people really kept their word and really took care of themselves.

Grandma Cai was also moved to tears.

Finally, we no longer have to run for our lives in the countryside.

"Grandma, it's great. We can sell plain noodles on the street again. Now we can quickly save enough money to go to Chang'an City to bring dad back." Cai Cai counted on her fingers for a while and said excitedly: "We I only need another two hundred and thirty-one cents, which will be enough for travel expenses."

Grandma Cai's old wrinkled hands gently caressed her granddaughter's hair and said, "Yes, we will bring your father back soon."

Cai Cai's eyes were full of longing: "After bringing dad back, we will never be separated again."

"Okay, okay." Granny Cai wiped her tears.

The grandfather and grandson carried the burden and came to the stall that used to sell noodles. Xiao Caicai skillfully set up the table and chairs, and then took out the bowls and chopsticks from the cabinet under the noodle box. At this moment, he suddenly let out an exclamation.

"What's wrong, Cai Cai?" Granny Cai turned around and looked.

"Grandma, look, this..." She pointed to the small wooden cabinet. On the second compartment, between the bowls and chopsticks, there must be orange gold ingots shining, which was the excess amount given by the woman in white last night.

But that's not right. Didn't you return the gold ingot to the woman in white last night?

The grandfather and grandson were stunned in place.

After a while, Xiao Caicai rubbed her eyes and quickly closed the door of the small wooden cabinet.

"Grandma, the fairy sister is gone, how can I return the money to her?" Cai Cai said.

Grandma Cai also had no idea in her mind.

"Grandma, how about we just pretend that we borrowed the money from Fairy Sister? We will use the money to go to Chang'an City to pick up Dad, and then sell noodles to make up for the money we spent. When we find Fairy Sister, Give it back to her, okay?" Cai Cai looked at her grandma longingly.

Grandma Cai hesitated.

"Grandma, I miss daddy so much," Cai Cai begged.

Granny Cai gritted her teeth, nodded, and said, "Okay, we'll set off today."

"Oh, great." Cai Cai jumped up and cheered: "I'm going to take dad home."

…

Li Mu returned to the inn with an embarrassed look.

He lay in wait for a whole night outside Masan Manor, but found no further clues. The manipulator behind the scenes who he had imagined to be the one behind the attack did not show up again... nothing happened.

Okay, this is a little embarrassing.

Li Mu knew that he thought too much last night.

It's time to leave Ping'an Town.

In the atmosphere of cheers and celebrations in Ping'an Town, Li Mu and Zheng Cunjian, riding green-maned horses, left the town and continued on the road.

Nothing special happened in the next two days.

Li Mu walked slowly and slowly, getting to know the customs and customs of this world.

Generally speaking, most of the people in the northwest of the Western Qin Empire are simple and honest yet upright and tough. Their diet mainly consists of pasta and meat, especially mutton, which is a delicacy that can be seen everywhere along the way, but there is very little beef. , because cattle are one of the important production tools, and imperial law also prohibits the slaughter of cattle for meat.

However, the security along the way was not good.

Under the superficial prosperity, Li Mu saw a hint of decay and decay.

In particular, the local government along the way has been loose and strict, with a heavy bureaucracy and low efficiency. Some small counties have even set up roadblocks on official roads. The euphemistic name is to maintain public order, but in fact they are just to exploit the cardinals. The caravans were all miserable.

"This Western Qin Empire seems to have reached its final stage. Otherwise, there is an internal problem, and it looks like the last dynasty."

Li Mu was thoughtful.

Of course, his judgment was only based on some theories in the history textbooks of junior high schools in the People's Republic of China. As for whether it is correct... I am still observing.

On the evening of the second day, before the sun set, Li Mu finally arrived at Chang'an City.

Chang'an City has a unique position in the history of the Western Qin Empire.

Because it was the capital of the Western Qin Empire more than two hundred years ago. Although the Western Qin Empire was not founded in Chang'an City, after the decline of the Eastern Qin Dynasty, Emperor Qin Wu, the leader of the Qin Empire's revival, moved the capital to Chang'an and established the Western Qin Dynasty. For more than a hundred years, Chang'an City used its high walls and heavy armor to withstand the ups and downs of the Western Qin Empire for three hundred years.

It was not until two hundred years ago that Emperor Qin Dang wiped out his old enemies, expanded his territory, drove away the grassland people who had led to the destruction of the Eastern Qin Dynasty from their homeland, and moved the capital to Qincheng, the capital of the dynasty. Chang'an City ended its role as the capital of the Qin Empire. historical mission.

It is also because of this period of history that the people of Qin have a special feeling for Chang'an City.

Even though Chang'an City was no longer the capital of the empire two hundred years ago, Chang'an Mansion today is just one of the dozens of state capitals in the empire without special administrative status. This special feeling still exists, compared to other state capitals. As the provincial capital, Chang'an Prefecture is still relatively prosperous.

After crossing the 100-meter-wide moat, admiring the 100-meter-high city wall of Chang'an City, and marveling at the barbican city with dense scars and sword holes, Li Mu and Zheng Cunjian paid the entry fee and finally entered the historic Qin Empire. In a five-hundred-year-old city.

An atmosphere of simplicity and vicissitudes of life came to my face.

Compared with the natural scenery of Taibai County, which is like Xiaojiabiyu, Chang'an City is like an armored guard standing unmoving in the wind and rain. The streets and buildings are mostly made of black rocks, with towering pavilions and smooth streets. , row after row of high-rise buildings extend into the distance. The solemn black is the favorite color of Qin people, and it is also a symbol of Qin people's character, serious and perseverance.

Li Mu rode a horse and walked on the street, feeling as if he was walking through the history of the Qin Empire for nearly a thousand years.

The streets are crowded with people, and passing merchants and caravans are coming and going, bustling with people.

The night market is about to start.

There is no curfew at night in Chang'an City.

Compared with Chang'an City, Taibai County is really just a small county. To use an analogy with cities on earth, it's like going from an unknown small city on the seventh or eighth tier to the magical city of Shanghai. This contrast is very different from that of Chang'an City. The contrast is really huge.

Li Mu was simply dazzled.

The civilization of this martial arts world cannot be measured from the perspective of earth's scientific and technological civilization. Many street buildings are unbelievably majestic and majestic. Many buildings cannot be measured by earth's architectural theory. For example, they can easily weigh tens of thousands of pounds. The black boulders are piled up as a whole. The power of scientific and technological civilization on the earth is simply unable to do this.

Stop and go, Li Mu glances at the flowers.

Half an hour later, there was a sudden noise from the front.

The crowd suddenly became crowded.
