The system swallowed an eagle before it digested it

In the courtyard study, Zhang Wu was examining and approving several documents, so busy that he didn't even notice the guards outside the door coming in.

"咚咚-"

"Housekeeper, there is something I want to report to you."

Zhang Wu yawned, he was listless after working all night.

Nodding slightly, he leaned back on the chair and began to close his eyes to rest his mind.

"Master Tang Zheng didn't come back yesterday, I'm afraid he was left in the City Lord's Mansion, so nothing will happen!?"

Zhang Wu, who was exhausted at first, immediately stood up when he heard the guard's words, and hurriedly walked out the door.

How dare the City Lord's Mansion detain someone?

From this point of view, it is definitely not because the questioning is so simple, there is probably someone setting up a trap.

Zhang Wu hurriedly ordered the guards to prepare the carriage immediately, and he was going to personally go to the City Lord's Mansion to inquire about the situation.

The deep worry in my heart was written on my face.

What Zhang Wu least expected to happen finally happened.

At the same time, Shangguan Yunlan and You Sui received reports from the guards one after another.

Everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

He just defeated Chen Feng the day before yesterday, but was taken away by the City Lord's Mansion yesterday.

This is a bit too coincidental, if it is said that this matter has nothing to do with the Chen family, no one will believe it.

The behemoth of the Chen family is no longer accessible to everyone.

In addition to the city lord's mansion, once the two parties reach an agreement, the situation will completely escalate. It is still unknown whether Tang Zheng's life can be saved by then.

"If it doesn't work, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion to ask someone." You Sui said angrily, his face was full of resentment.

You Sui is the most disdainful of these families who engage in petty tricks.

The gun is easy to hide, and the dark arrow is hard to prevent.

Tang Zheng's current situation is very dangerous, if he continues to spend so much time, if something happens to Tang Zheng inside, they won't know.

"If you can get Tang Zheng out so easily, why should the City Lord's Mansion imprison him!?"

"Right now, asking the academy for help is the most effective way. Everyone, calm down and don't think too complicated."

Shangguan Yunlan's calmness was frightening, and he could see the crux of the matter at a glance.

Finding forces at the same level as the City Lord's Mansion is much more useful than them.

And it is related to the monster race encountered during the training, the academy will never sit idly by.

Xilinna hurriedly suggested: "We can find Teacher Lin Wei. She is not only a teacher of the college, but also a member of the Lin family. She must not want her students to have accidents."

Leaving aside the identity of Beidou Academy, just being a Lin family is enough.

Without further ado, Shangguan Yunlan took Xilinna to the academy directly.

It may be because of the college's road construction, plus the temporary vacation, Lin Wei is not in the college.

Xilinna asked the guard anxiously about the situation, but how could a guard know about Lin Wei's whereabouts?
After much thought, Shangguan Yunlan decided to visit the Lin family.

The Lin family, one of the four major families in Wuning, has a very magnificent building. There is a huge statue at the door, which is made of gold and purple iron, which is invaluable.

With a height of nearly ten meters, people can see it at a glance from a distance.

The guards of the Lin family were all at the peak of Xuanwu. This force, if taken out, was enough to level a small mountain gate.

The eight guards stopped Shangguan Yunlan and Xilinna, and the air froze with a jerk of the spear.

"The land of the Lin family, idlers, etc., don't get close."

"Hi, excuse me, I'm a student of Teacher Lin Wei, I have something urgent to do with her, please let me know!"

Xilinna stepped forward and politely begged the guards, not wanting to cause any unpleasantness at the door.

The guard looked at the two women tentatively, and after thinking for a moment, he turned around and went in to report.

While waiting, Shangguan Yunlan called a carriage and planned to go directly to the City Lord's Mansion to have a look.

Soon an alluring figure appeared, it was the Lin family's celestial daughter, Lin Wei!
"Teacher, Tang Zheng was taken away by the City Lord's Mansion because of the Poison Valley incident, you should think of a way!"

Lin Wei looked at the anxious Xilinna, with a trace of doubt in her beautiful eyes.

Especially the appearance of Shangguan Yunlan made Lin Wei even more surprised.

Every class has its own outstanding people, and the group of people around Tang Zheng are all talented. This makes Lin Wei feel that the origins of Tang Zheng and others may not be as simple as they appear on the surface.

"how long it has been?"

"Since yesterday, I haven't come back until now."

Lin Wei nodded her head, she had already figured it out, and when she saw the carriage on the side of the road, Lin Wei took another deep look at Shangguan Yunlan.

"The actions of the City Lord's Mansion are noticed by the Academy. Tang Zheng is not the first one to be taken away. Go back first! If there is any progress, I will send someone to notify you."

Unexpectedly, Lin Wei would issue an order to evict the guests, and the academy knew that more and more mysteries appeared, which made Shangguan Yunlan feel a little headache.

Xilinna said some words of thanks to Lin Wei, and went back in a carriage with Shangguan Yunlan.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he happened to run into Zhang Wu who had just returned.

"Miss, the attitude of the City Lord's Mansion is very tough, and many people from the academy have also been arrested. It is useless to find someone for this matter."

"I see."

Shangguan Yunlan was aware of the seriousness of the situation. Judging from the identity of the Chen family, it was impossible for officials and businessmen to collude at this time.

All you can do now is wait!
…………

In the middle of the night, dark clouds covered the sky full of stars, leaving only a crescent moon emitting a faint gleam.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard were blown by the strong wind, and their swaying figures seemed to be alert to the coming wind and rain.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, so tonight is destined to be uneventful.

You Sui and Jin Bowen are drinking in the room, and the food on the table has barely moved.

From the expressions of the two of them, it can be seen that Tang Zheng's accident this time hit them hard.

"You Sui, I have heard that three months ago, at the City Lord's Mansion..."

"Shh~"

When Jin Bowen was speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by You Sui, who made a hissing gesture to him.

The shadows wandering outside the window, despite being very careful, were still exposed by the candlelight inside the house.

You Sui called out the black long knife, gently held it in his hand, and tiptoed towards the door.

Jin Bowen was not idle either, shaking the wine glass in his hand, knocking it from time to time, creating the illusion that the two were still immersed in drinking.

Soon the door was pierced with a small hole, and a bamboo tube was poked in.

Before anyone could blow the mist, You Sui chopped the bamboo tube with a knife, and the bamboo tube snapped, causing the visitor to let out an exclamation.

"Want to leave? Leave it to me!"

Swish!
The saber aura filled the air, and the black spiritual power attached to the blade, splitting the door into pieces in an instant.

Jin Bowen followed closely, thinking that it might be the killer sent by the Chen family. If so, maybe he could get some useful information.

However, the man in black who fled towards the gate of the courtyard revealed his identity by the wooden plaque on his waist.

"It's those bastards from Anxing again, do you really think we are easy to bully?"

You Sui, who was already full of anger, suddenly raised his anger to the peak.

You Sui lifted the knife and was about to cut off the head of the man in black, but before You Sui could make a move, the man in black suddenly threw a package and rushed towards the door.

The package fell apart, and a round object rolled out.

When Jin Bowen saw what it was, his heart trembled fiercely, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Bai... Master Bai?"
