Chapter 205 Officials Are Like Thieves

Duan Rong still remembered that when he first stepped into the courtyard, Heiwa was very shy and hid behind the door, not daring to come out, only showing half of his face to look at him.

Later, they became familiar with each other. Every time Duan Rong came, Heiwa looked at him with a smile, showing his white teeth.

The last time he came, Heiwa stuffed him with two bird eggs and told him to roast them and eat them...

Duan Rong looked at Heiwa's drooping head on the wooden stake, and his smiling face showing his white teeth kept flashing in Duan Rong's mind...

The tears in Duan Rong's eyes could no longer be stopped...

His consciousness swept into the house, and there were three corpses in the house. Old man Qin was beheaded and died, with his intestines all over the floor.

His son was beheaded, and his daughter-in-law was naked, with her chest stabbed to pieces...

Duan Rong wiped the tears from his face, and his heart suddenly calmed down, because he heard the sound of horses neighing not far away.

The world is not peaceful, and the weak being eaten by blood may happen in many corners.

Although he wanted to seek justice for the dead Qin Laohan's family, it also depends on the strength of the other party. If the other party is too strong, he will turn around and leave!

Duan Rong used his spiritual sense to open the way, and performed the Cloud Snake Step of the minor success realm. He used the courtyard wall and trees to cover his body and went to the place where the horse neighed.

Duan Rong hid behind a sycamore tree behind a farmer's house and looked at a large manor not far away.

The manor was a big family in the village. The owner's surname was Quan, and he was the head of several nearby villages.

The family had quite a lot of land and also raised a group of warriors.

This Quan Lizheng was quite kind and generous, and often helped the poor families in the village. In years of famine, he would also lend food to villagers in the village, and the interest was only half of the market price, so he had a very good reputation in the village.

But at this time, more than ten horses were parked at the gate of the Quan Family Manor. Those horses had shiny coats and bright eyes, and they were obviously hard-working horses.

At the gate of the manor, there were two people standing, wearing turbans and holding knives. Duan Rong used his spiritual sense to scan them. These two people were both in the first level of the Inner Breath Realm, and there were blood spots on their faces.

At the feet of the two people, there were three corpses lying, with broken hands and heads, and their deaths were miserable. Moreover, the three corpses were all dressed in tight clothes and carrying weapons. Duan Rong scanned with his spiritual sense, and there was a word "Quan" engraved on the handle of the machete.

The three corpses lying on the ground at the gate were obviously the guards of the Quan Family Manor.

The two guys standing at the gate were only in the first level of the Inner Breath Realm. Duan Rong could kill them with a raise of his hand!

But he did not do it, he did not want to alarm the people in the manor!

At this time, it was not clear what the cultivation level of the people in the manor was. If he acted rashly, he would alert the enemy and might put himself in a passive situation.

Duan Rong flashed into the courtyard of the farmhouse behind him, went around to the side, flashed out from another alley, and stood outside the wall of the Quan Family Manor.

The wall of the Quan Family Manor was tall and thick, but Duan Rong stepped on the cliff as if it were flat ground. This height was just a leap for him.

But Duan Rong did not jump in directly, but bypassed the wall and began to display his body shape, and his released spiritual sense penetrated the wall and swept into the manor.

After a display, Duan Rong had already swept a large area of ​​the manor near the wall.

And did not find any living people.

Duan Rong's eyes moved, and he chose a hidden position and flashed over the wall.

Duan Rong fell quietly, almost silently. Next to him was a tall canna, and the banana leaves were like a huge cattail leaf fan...

Duan Rong hid behind the canna, and his eyes swept around. The courtyard was very wide, and his sight had exceeded the range of his spiritual sense.

But, except for the occasional corpse, Duan Rong did not find a single living person in the courtyard.

Duan Rong's figure flickered, sometimes standing up and sometimes squatting, using the trees, pavilions, houses, and corridor pillars to hide his figure, and constantly exploring the courtyard with his spiritual sense and eyes.

However, when Duan Rong almost scanned the entire manor, he didn't find a living person.

"Impossible!" Duan Rong frowned. "Since there are more than ten horses parked at the door of the manor, and there are two guys in turbans guarding it, there must be someone in the manor!"

Duan Rong's eyes flickered, and his heart moved, and he suddenly said: "There is a secret room!"

The exploration of spiritual sense can pass through walls and courtyards, and the secret room in the house will definitely not escape his spiritual sense. The secret room must be a place where his spiritual sense has not explored, but his eyes have swept over. Duan Rong turned suddenly and stared at the rockery in the middle of the courtyard.

Duan Rong's figure flickered, and his spiritual sense was released. As his body got closer and closer to the rockery, Duan Rong's spiritual sense had already enveloped the rockery.

Duan Rong's eyes moved, and there was a dark hole in the empty space on the ground of the rockery.

There were hidden stone steps in the hole!

It seemed to be the entrance to the secret room.

Duan Rong took a few quick steps and covered the place with his spiritual sense...

Duan Rong stood not far from the hole, his eyes flickered. He did not go in, but hid behind the rockery and used his spiritual sense to penetrate the underground...

No matter how deep the underground secret room was, it could not exceed a hundred meters.

Duan Rong stood behind the rockery and scanned the underground secret room with his spiritual sense.

In fact, the space of the secret room was not too big, and there was only one room, which was just a hidden warehouse of the Quan family.

There were more than ten people standing in the secret room, and there were two corpses on the ground, one was a gray-haired old man, and the other was a burly middle-aged man. Both of them were well-dressed, and their faces and bodies were quite similar, as if they were a father and son.

Duan Rong speculated that the dead inside were the father and son of the Quan family. The two were obviously held hostage in the secret room. After the gang of bandits found the property, they killed them to silence them.

In the middle of the secret room, there was a large box with the lid turned up, which was full of gold, jewelry, and banknotes...

Duan Rong concentrated his consciousness and penetrated the bodies of each of the group of people, and saw their inner breath realm clearly.

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar, one look!

There are twelve people here.

One person, about forty years old, with a burly figure and a long face, is actually in the fourth level of the inner breath realm.

Five others are in the second level of the inner breath realm, and six are in the first level of the inner breath realm.

One of them was a thin man holding a steel knife, blood was dripping from the blade. He looked at the open box, greed flashed in his eyes, but he suppressed it immediately and said hoarsely: "Shentou, the Quan family just has more land and collects rent, how can the family be so rich?"

The burly middle-aged man called Shentou was a warrior in the great perfection of the inner breath realm, and was obviously the leader of this group of people.

The man glared at the thin man and said: "Do you think Tang Wanhong is a vegetarian! If it was an ordinary manor, would he let us rob it?"

Duan Rong's heart tightened suddenly when he heard Tang Wanhong's name.

This group of people was actually instructed by Tang Wanhong!

But Tang Wanhong is Shen Yanliu's man!

Duan Rong felt cold all over when he thought of this.

For the sake of his political achievements and official reputation, Shen Yanliu has not made up excuses or imposed heavy taxes since he took office. Instead, he has not offended the people. Therefore, his official reputation has always been good.

But this man is obviously very ambitious and has always wanted to climb up. The case of Xu Ruhu and Jie Lei can be seen. He is worried that the unsolved case will affect his performance evaluation, so he asked Tang Wanhong to go to the city in person and find a way to become an inspector.

Although Shen Yanliu did not use heavy taxes to exploit the people, he needed a lot of money to get in touch with the officialdom.

Where does this money come from?

Several forces in Xian Ancient City are strong and difficult to shake, so they set their sights on the big manors outside the city!

Moreover, they colluded with thieves and did not hesitate to massacre the village!

It's really a pity to be cut into pieces!

"Being an official is like a thief!" Duan Rong's eyes flashed with hatred and resentment!

Shen Yanliu is a hundred times more hateful than those corrupt officials who make up excuses to make money!

He wants a clean official reputation as a help to climb up.

But at the same time, he colluded with thieves, robbed gentry, and even slaughtered the village.

Officials on the outside, bandits on the inside!

Human appearance on the outside, beast heart on the inside!

Duan Rong stood beside the rockery, murderous intent rose up, he wished, immediately beheaded Shen Yanliu, the dog official with beast heart, and hung his head on the tower of Xiangu County, exposed to the sun for public display!

But Duan Rong also knew in his heart that Shen Yanliu was definitely not someone he could shake at this moment.

Not only was he the county magistrate of Xiangu County and his identity as an outer disciple of Taiyi Sect, but his realm of true Qi alone was not something Duan Rong could deal with.

However, he could not kill Shen Yanliu, but he did not want to let go of any of these lackeys in front of him.

"I'll take you and sacrifice to the dead souls of this village!"
