The system swallowed an eagle before it digested it

"Guest officer, Xuanlong City has arrived."

The driver stopped the carriage and said to the people in the carriage.

Seeing no movement for a long time, the coachman asked again with doubts.

"Guest officer? Guest officer?"

Lifting the curtain, I found that there was no one inside!
Fortunately, Yinliang stayed on the seat, otherwise the coachman might want to cry without tears.

As early as halfway, Tang Zheng and the others left the carriage, and took advantage of the concealment of the forest to slowly move towards Xuanlong City.

"Sister, this Xuanlong City is too heavily guarded!"

Shangguan Yunrong exclaimed, looking around, the city wall was full of sentinels with spears, twice as many as Yanjing City.

There was almost only two or three steps between the sentries, and they all looked out of the city vigilantly.

It is not easy to sneak in.

While Shangguan Yunlan was still thinking, Tang Zheng already had an idea.

"follow me!"

In the next second, Tang Zheng walked out of the forest on foot and moved towards the west of Xuanlong City.

As a local who lived in Xuanlong City since he was a child, Tang Zheng simply didn't know much about the guards of the city wall.

No matter how heavily guarded, there is a place that must be extremely safe.

Tang Zheng took the lead in expressing his opinion, came to a river bank in the west, and plunged into it with one stride.

"Waterway? Can this work, sister?"

Shangguan Yunrong wanted to refuse, but felt that Tang Zheng was unreliable.

Yun Lan scanned the surrounding area, made sure it was safe, and then prepared to go into the water.

"Follow him, he knows more than us here."

Underwater, Tang Zheng led the way and led the two girls to swim in from a secret passage at the bottom.

It was found that there are many glowing spirit stones on the walls around the dark passage. It seems that this is indeed an entrance.

Yun Lan and Yun Rong speeded up, and soon Chao and Tang Zheng walked side by side. After landing, the two women were shocked again.

"here……"

"That's right, this is the Tang family. This passage was dug by my father. I guess only I know about it now."

When mentioning his father, Tang Zheng's eyes were slightly sad.

Thinking of digging a secret passage from the outside, Yun Lan couldn't help admiring Tang Zheng's father, who could be regarded as... her own father.

The three of them were all wet, their meridians circulated spiritual energy, and soon a white mist floated out from the heads of the three of them.

The clothes of the three people were directly steamed dry.

Tang family, meeting hall.

The one who is now sitting as the head of the family is not Tang Ning, the elder of the rich clan, but the elder of the second clan, Tang Jin!

Sitting on the left and right are old Tang Tong of the fourth clan and old Tang Quan of the fifth clan.

Standing in the middle of the hall and walking back and forth was the elder of the Tang family, Tang Wenfu!
The five clan elders of the Tang family performed their own duties and were in charge of various affairs of the family.

Only the area under the jurisdiction of the elders of the three clans is outside the city, and they are responsible for the Tang family's foreign trade, so they basically don't come back for a year.

Such a big event happened to the Tang family, so naturally they hurried back.

Knowing that Tang Zheng had left and Liu Yi had also left, Tang Wenfu immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out.

He also fell seriously ill, and said silently every day that God was going to kill their Tang family.

As for the elder of the second clan as the head of the family, the reason was very simple, but Tangning couldn't afford to be seriously injured until now, so in terms of seniority, he should be competent.

"Don't turn around, third child, are you annoying?"

Tang Quan said resentfully while smoking his pipe, smoking hard non-stop.

Tang Wenfu said anxiously: "Are you still annoying? I am even more annoying now. Now, who can guarantee that the Tang family will not die next? The Qian family in the west of the city has all moved to other cities. If you want me to say, let's go too!"

"Oh, it would be great if the young master was here."

Tang Jin sat on the main seat with a gloomy expression on his face.

The change in Xuanlong City came too suddenly, causing people to panic now, fearing that it would be their turn next.

Just when the atmosphere fell to the bottom, a fire broke the silence.

"Hurry up and put out the fire! Quickly!"

Tang Zheng shouted twice, then led Yun Lan and Yun Rong over the wall and left.

The nearby officers and soldiers saw it and rushed to help.

On the street, Yun Rong couldn't stop laughing, and couldn't help but said to Tang Zheng: "I never thought you would be so cruel to your own family."

Tang Zheng didn't care at all, and responded with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that one day I will burn down the prime minister's mansion?"

Yun Lan suddenly stopped, her beautiful eyes fell on Tang Zheng, so frightened that Tang Zheng hurriedly lowered his head and walked forward.

Yun Rong laughed tremblingly, and gave her sister a thumbs up.

"I think Tang Zheng is getting more and more skinny, sister, you still have to deal with him." Yun Rong teased.

"Stop making trouble, let's rush to the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible."

Shangguan Yunlan pulled Yun Rong, followed closely by Tang Zheng, and the three rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion.

The prime minister's office received the news that the empire had sent a new city lord to take over Xuanlong City.

And there is a rule attached, that is, within seven days, the case must be solved and the murderer brought back to the imperial capital.

It can be said that the new city lord is almost dying of worry. For this reason, the counselors around him came up with a plan.

From now on, the city lord's mansion will invite experts from all over the world to solve the case together, and the winning team will be rewarded heavily.

The empire specially transported a treasure, which added a bit of color to Xuanlong City.

The tears of the century-old cold toad are priceless, the best spiritual treasure, from the legend, the tears of the thousand-year-old cold poison ice toad, one drop can dissolve all kinds of strange poisons, and can also increase the lifespan of warriors.

All of a sudden, many strong men near Yanjing gathered in Xuanlong City.

It's just that only the crime-solving team formed in the city can win the award of the empire.

Outsiders can only get some gold, cloth, fertile land...

This is also the reason why Tang Zheng and the others didn't come in through the city gate, instead they took the water route.

Soon Tang Zheng, Yun Lan, and Yun Rong came to the City Lord's Mansion, where the eyes were brightly lit.

Now the city lord's mansion is extremely lively, and all the crime-solving teams who came here live here and are regarded as VIPs.

The treatment is even better.

Seeing Tang Zheng approaching, the guards in front of the door hurriedly stopped him and asked, "What are you doing?"

Tang Zheng laughed lightly, the aura of the Xuanwu Fourth Layer suddenly dropped, and the surrounding temperature immediately dropped to the extreme.

The guard was dumbfounded, and quickly put away his previous attitude, turning it into a respectful one, "Sorry, please follow me!"

Under the guidance of the guards, Tang Zheng signed his name on the registration book.

Naturally, Tang Zheng would not reveal his real name, and casually used an alias to cover it up.

An old man handed Tang Zheng a wooden plaque with the word "Tianzang" engraved on it.

Immediately the guards brought Tang Zheng and the others to the residence, which was located on the fourth floor, and the three separated in front of the east and west huts.

When Tang Zheng came to the east room, the guard said that he would ask the city lord for instructions, and he would take him there in a while.

Tang Zheng nodded, and then looked at the guards outside. It seems that the current City Lord's Mansion is much stronger than before.

Soon the guards came to ask Tang Zheng to move to the inner hall and meet the city lord.

Shangguan Yunlan and Shangguan Yunrong also followed, wanting to see how the city lord sent by the empire was doing.

at the same time.

The fire in the Tang family was finally extinguished.

A figure sneaked in and quickly came to the small courtyard where Tang Zheng lived.

In the room, You Sui sat down panting, the pain caused by the injury exhausted You Sui's energy.

On the table, You Sui was attracted by an object.

It was a white medicine bottle with a note pressed underneath it.

"This is the psychic liquid that nourishes internal injuries, and restores to the peak as soon as possible."

Tang Zheng's name was impressively written on the place where the signature was signed.
