It took only a few breaths from killing someone to breaking in, the shock that Liang Jian brought to Du Ping can be described as unforgettable for life.

He came here because of Wang Boyang, on the surface he respected Liang Jian, but he always had a little contempt in his heart.Liang Jian was handsome and harmless to humans and animals when he smiled. For a blood-licking person like him, this appearance was hardly a deterrent.In addition, he was safe and sound on the boat, and he didn't know how skilled Liang Jian was, so he couldn't help being unconvinced.

But today, Liang Jianlu's move made Du Ping's unconvinced and contempt disappear without a trace. Liang Jian's sword is fast and ruthless, and Liang Jian's skill is probably inferior even if Wang Boyang is here.It's hard to imagine that he has such martial arts at such a young age. Such skills cannot be achieved without 30 to [-] years of hard training.

Du Ping was more in awe of Liang Jian.

Liang Jian didn't know that Du Ping was shocked by his show. He stood in the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, and the people from the City Lord's Mansion heard the sound.After Xu Liangchuan's accident, the power of the City Lord's Mansion was not completely divided between Du Ping and Fan Tong, and a small group of Liang Jian's supporters were in the middle, forming a tripartite confrontation.

Du Ping told Liang Jian before that it was not a lie that he sent a letter back to the City Lord's Mansion, but it was not entirely true.He did send a letter back, but the recipients were his subordinates, not the entire City Lord's Mansion, so not everyone knew that Liang Jian had returned.

Mei Zhenghan and the others had already walked in, and stood behind Liang Jian in a well-trained manner, looking at the darkness.

Liang Jian not only came, but also not alone.

Fan Tong and his subordinates arrived first, glanced at the tragic situation behind Liang Jian and the others, and asked first: "Liang Jian, do you dare to come back?"

"This is also half of my home, why can't I come back?" Liang Jian glanced at Fan Tong, his eyes fell on the group of people behind him, and said with a half-smile: "Brother Xu can't take care of things for the time being. The ability to steer the rudder is not small."

Many people who were seen by Liang Jian lowered their heads, they were afraid of Liang Jian, even if Fan Tong offered enough temptation |, they still felt a little scared in their hearts.

Fan Tong didn't seem to hear Liang Jian's sarcasm, and said coldly: "The city lord took pity on you for being homeless and adopted you in the mansion, but you were so ambitious to kill him. A shameless person like you deserves to say this is your home?"

Fan Tong took the lead and insisted that Liang Jian murdered Xu Liangchuan, which made some people behind him angry.It doesn't matter whether the anger is real or faked, the important thing is to have an excuse to deal with Liang Jian.

Liang Jian thought it was funny, he turned his head and looked at Du Ping beside him, and said, "When you all see each other, I like to say first that I murdered brother Xu, and I don't even need any evidence for my empty teeth. Is this how you've been doing things for a while?"

There was anger in these words, and the displeasure was obvious.

Du Ping understood God, and immediately cooperated with Liang Jian to show shame, and apologized: "In the past, I was too impulsive and misunderstood City Lord Liang. I will explain to my subordinates that this matter has nothing to do with you."

After finishing speaking, Du Ping turned to look at Fan Tong, and explained to Fan Tong as if he had come here: "I know you are fighting for the city lord, but this matter really has nothing to do with the city lord Liang, he doesn't even know about our city lord. Injured, I thought he..."

"Du Ping, do you understand it in your heart? Don't think that you are on his side now, and this matter can be settled like this. I know what kind of person he is better than you." Fan Tong interrupted Du impatiently. In Ping's words, he stared at Liang Jian sullenly, put his hand on the knife at his waist, and put his whole body on guard.

Fan Tong was a little surprised that Liang Jian would come to Jiangcheng. Others didn't know why Liang Jian wanted to kill Xu Liangchuan, but Fan Tong knew, and only he had enough motivation.But this matter cannot be told to others, there is a bigger secret behind it.Now that Xu Liangchuan is abolished, if he can get this secret...

Fan Tong licked his lips, people die for money, birds die for food, he is not exempt.

Liang Jian didn't miss the greed that flashed in Fan Tong's eyes, and thought: With Xu Liangchuan's lesson before him, this person's first consideration is not his own safety.

"Fan Tong, you have to be responsible for what you say. Before the commander-in-chief was not here, we couldn't refute you whatever you said, but now that the commander-in-chief is back, you are still spitting out blood. We really think we are afraid that you will fail." A voice came from the corridor, then It was a small group of people who supported Liang Jian, headed by a man with a big beard who carried two axes on his back.He looked at Liang Jian with respect and sincerity in his eyes, and when he saw Liang Jian looking over, he grinned and showed his big white teeth.

Liang Jian was stunned, he had a vague impression of this person, because this person died too early in his previous life.Liang Jian thought for a while, and vaguely remembered that his name was Ping Shuang, and he held the position of feather general, as if he had been promoted.

Ping Shuang's words were echoed by the people behind him. Everyone endured Fan Tong for a long time, and they began to scold each other.Seeing that Du Ping had no instructions, Du Ping's people stood still and did not interrupt rashly.

Anger flashed across Fan Tong's face. His power was comparable to that of Du Ping. Ping Shuang, a small group of people, was the variable. So a little well water does not violate the meaning of river water.

But I didn't expect that as soon as Liang Jian appeared, this balance would be broken directly. Ping Shuang and the others stood in Liang Jian's position and shouted for Liang Jian.Fan Tong glared angrily, and scolded: "Ping Shuang, are you going to rebel?"

"Bah, don't label me, I don't like you." Ping Shuang spat at Fan Tong disdainfully, cursing: "You have been slandering the commander-in-chief and framed the city lord to flee in fear of crime, and now the commander-in-chief is back You didn't even give him a chance to explain. I think you are guilty of guilt, so you don't give the commander a chance to speak."

Fan Tong clenched his fists tightly for the word "guilty as a thief", Liang Jian glanced at Du Ping lightly, and winked at Du Ping.

Du Ping nodded, and stepped out from his side to intervene between the two groups of people, saying: "Okay, you guys stop arguing, if there is anything we want, let's go into the house and talk about it, and make a noise at the door to make the common people laugh."

There were indeed quite a few people gathered at the door, all looking around.Everyone also realized that this is not a place for quarreling, and it would not be a good thing for the City Lord's Mansion to spread the word.

"Since everyone has calmed down, go to the conference hall and call all the officers in the house."

Liang Jian gave an order, and Ping Shuang and others responded positively: "We all listen to the commander, and this matter should have a result."

Du Ping glanced at Ping Shuang and said, "Don't call him Grand Commander anymore, he is now the new City Lord of Hongye City."

Du Ping called Liang Jian the city lord just now, but everyone didn't think about it at that time, and now they all showed surprise when they heard the exact answer.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Liang Jian's face darkened: "It seems that Du Ping didn't lie to me. The City Lord's Mansion really didn't receive the letter I sent. The letters were robbed several times before and after. I want to Let's see who has the guts to block my letter to Brother Xu."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Fan Tong, Fan Tong's face remained unchanged, but his fingers trembled.

The faces of the others were a little subtle. They glanced at each other, and there was a blank look in each other's eyes.

Liang Jian didn't say much, but turned around and went to the meeting hall, followed by Ping Shuang and others.

Mei Zhenghan glanced at Fan Tong who was far behind, turned around and asked Wen Yao if he could hold on, Wen Yao nodded and said, "I will protect Miss well."

Mei Zhenghan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and instead of hitting him, he said affirmatively: "Then Shengxue's safety is in your hands."

The meeting hall in Jiangcheng was about the same size as the Nuan Pavilion in Hongye City, and it didn't look crowded when a group of people stood in. Liang Jian didn't choose the first seat, but the seat he had been sitting in when he was the commander-in-chief. Mei Zhenghan and others stood behind him.

Du Ping ordered to find all the officials of the City Lord's Mansion. Everyone gathered together, and the first thing to talk about was naturally the night when the City Lord's Mansion was attacked.Liang Jian repeated the previous set of arguments in the palace. Those who believed would naturally believe it, and those who didn't believe would just snort and not comment. The atmosphere was not very good.Liang Jian was not in a hurry, even if he encountered aggressive inquiries, he would easily return them.

Ping Shuang couldn't help asking about the letter. Liang Jian said that he had written to Xu Liangchuan three times, mentioning his whereabouts and becoming the city lord, but he never got a reply.Only after meeting Du Ping did they know that the City Lord's Mansion had not received the letter, and no one knew his whereabouts at all.

Someone questioned: "Hmph, who knows if you fabricated this letter out of thin air."

"It's easy to handle. Letters from the government have to go through the post office. Send someone to ask and it will be clear." Du Ping pointed to a subordinate and said, "You go to the post office and ask them to check if there is any mail from the post office. A letter from Hongye City to the City Lord's Mansion."

The man had to get ready, Fan Tong stopped him and said: "Wait a minute, who knows if you are in the same group, and all the people in the posthouse have gone home now, who do you ask."

The door of the post house will be closed after sunset, and it is dark at this moment, and there are only night watchmen inside.

Liang Jian glanced at Fan Tong, and said: "Let's not mention the letter, as long as you have been to the city lord's mansion, there will always be traces. You guys say that the public is right and the wife is right, and you can't argue for a while, so let's let it go." I'll see Brother Xu. Although Du Ping told me on the way, I still don't know what kind of injury he is, and you will be helpless."

As soon as Liang Jian said this, the expressions of everyone present were not good.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and the atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became dignified.

Xu Liangchuan's situation can no longer be described by how injured he is, he is a useless person at all, life would be better than death.Du Ping and Fan Tong would not have kept him if they hadn't been able to find the Green Jade Seal.Seeing that he had only the last bit of use left, everyone didn't make it difficult for him, and provided him with delicious food and drink, but it was not a good thing for him.

One can imagine the impact on him from being a hero of a generation to a useless person. He wanted to die more than once, but he was rescued all of them.Du Ping designated a separate yard for him to live in, leaving the former housekeeper to take care of him.

When Liang Jian saw him, he was sitting on a reclining chair with his hands hanging limply, his eyes were covered with a white cloth, and the housekeeper was feeding him.However, in just half a year, he has become thin and out of shape, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as skinny.His ears were disabled and he couldn't hear the sound, so he didn't know anyone was coming.

The butler heard it, and he thought it was those who wanted the jade seal to make trouble again, his heart tightened, and with an angry face, he put down the bowl in his hand and clenched his fists, looked at the door and said: "You still want... the commander! "

The first person to walk in was naturally Liang Jian, and only Mei Zhenghan was behind him.Those people in the meeting room were all suppressed by him, and none of them came over.Wen Yao's body still needed to rest, so Du Ping made the decision to place them in the small courtyard where Liang Jian lived before, and the others had no objections.Liang Jian's room is still there, and it will be cleaned at any time.

The steward's roar got stuck in his throat before he finished speaking. He looked at the anxious Liang Jian and suddenly burst into tears, choked up and said, "Commander, you are back."

Liang Jian quickly stepped forward to support the butler, and comforted him: "It's a long story, how is brother Xu?"

The steward wiped away his tears, sighed, and said, "It's better to die, but those people don't want to let him die easily, and it's still useful for them to keep him. Commander, you are the only one left who can bring justice to the city lord." .”

The housekeeper held Liang Jian's hand tightly, his eyes full of hope, no matter how earth-shattering the commotion outside was, he only hoped to seek justice for Xu Liangchuan.After all, he has been with Xu Liangchuan for many years, and his affection for him is not fake.

Liang Jian didn't answer right away, but looked at Xu Liangchuan, who was in limbo, with a sad expression.He walked up to Xu Liangchuan and softly called Brother Xu, but Xu Liangchuan didn't respond.

The housekeeper said sadly: "He can't hear or see, he can't speak, he doesn't even know you're back now."

"The doctor can't do anything?" Liang Jian reached out to hold Xu Liangchuan's drooping hand. His palm was warm and strong, which made Xu Liangchuan a little familiar.

The feeling hadn't deteriorated yet, Xu Liangchuan reacted, he turned his head to Liang Jian, frowned, suddenly became emotional, and his body was shaking non-stop.

He felt that the person standing in front of him was Liang Jian, the wolf who caused him to become like this.He's back again, what else does he want to do.Xu Liangchuan was afraid and hated at the same time, the anger and hatred accumulated in his heart burst out, and turned into a force to support him to rush towards Liang Jian.

As a result, he jumped on him, Liang Jian couldn't dodge, but stretched out his hand to support his body, and lowered his eyebrows and said: "Brother Xu, I'm back."

Xu Liangchuan couldn't hear it, but he felt the heat sprayed on his body, and shivered inexplicably, trembling all over.

It's a pity that Liang Jian used his body to block his hateful face, making it seem to others that he was only emotional because of Liang Jian's return.Liang Jian clasped Xu Liangchuan's shoulders so that he could not move, and comforted him softly, "Brother Xu, I will help you."

The housekeeper was both sad and relieved. In the past six months, he was physically and mentally exhausted because of Xu Liangchuan's affairs. Liang Jian's arrival allowed him to find his backbone, and he couldn't help but stand upright.

Liang Jian lowered his eyes to hide the sharpness in his eyes, and put his palm on Xu Liangchuan's back, seemingly comforting but actually oppressing Xu Liangchuan psychologically.Xu Liangchuan's struggles were suppressed by him, he raised his head and briefly told the butler what happened in the conference hall.

Fan Tong and Du Ping struggled for power in a day or two, the butler just shook his head helplessly after hearing this.Knowing that Liang Jian could not stay here long after becoming the city lord, the butler showed a look of struggle. He looked at Xu Liangchuan, who was neither human nor ghost, his fists tightened and then loosened, and finally he could not make up his mind, and knelt down in front of Liang Jian with a plop. : "Commander, before you leave Jiangcheng, I beg you one thing, you...kill the city lord."

Liang Jian's expression darkened, and he said unkindly, "Housekeeper, do you know what you're talking about?"

"The old slave knows that the old slave just doesn't want him to continue to be tortured. Those people actually wanted his life long ago, but they couldn't find the jade seal, so they didn't do anything. In their eyes, the city lord's life is just a convenience for them. Competing for a bargaining chip for power, I can't bear to see him suffer such pain." The butler choked up as he spoke, with a mournful expression on his face.

Murdering an official of the imperial court is a capital crime. As the old housekeeper of the city lord's mansion, it is impossible not to know this, but he still asked Liang Jian to do this in front of Liang Jian.Liang Jian condescendingly looked down at the butler kneeling in front of her, with a look of disappointment on her face.

If he had any nostalgia for this City Lord's Mansion, it was probably the butler in front of him, after all, he accompanied him to the end in his previous life.

But I didn't expect that the world's hearts would change, and this person also chose to stand on the opposite side in this life.

"Fan Tong or Du Ping? Who did you choose?" Liang Jian asked in a deep voice.

The butler was taken aback, looked up at Liang Jian in surprise, and asked in confusion, "Commander, what do you mean?"

Liang Jian sneered, and helped Xu Liangchuan to sit back: "I told you to take care of Xu Liangchuan, but I just wanted to get the whereabouts of the green jade seal from him. After Xu Liangchuan fell, you people can't sit still. You I'm afraid only you know whether you are taking care of him personally or monitoring him closely to prevent him from dying."

With Xu Liangchuan in this state, even the housekeeper can easily put him to death.If the housekeeper really didn't want him to suffer, he would have done it himself.

"Commander, how can you slander me like this." The housekeeper showed an expression of disbelief, unable to believe that such words came from Liang Jian's mouth.

Liang Jian closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was no warmth in her eyes, only a smear of coldness remained: "You go, I won't do anything to you because of the old love, go back and tell your current master , don’t think of Xu Liangchuan. I know the whereabouts of the Qingyu Seal, so let him come to me if you want.”
