Killing too many people will cause unrest in Yongning County, and we will have to find a way to deal with it.

Ren Pingsheng didn't plan to do this at first.

But now that someone wants to kill him, the situation is different.

He doesn't want to be targeted.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Xiao Rongxue held the long knife with a cold look.

She had inexplicably had a close contact with Ren Pingsheng before, and she was hesitant in her heart. She could just vent her emotions by killing people.

If the powerful people in Yongning County knew her thoughts, they would probably vomit blood in frustration, shouting in their hearts, it's not us who provoke you, why are you venting to us?

The two dressed neatly, holding weapons in their hands, and walked out of the door.

The lobby, which was originally quite lively, suddenly became silent.

Everyone lowered their heads to drink tea, and from time to time secretly glanced at them, not daring to make a sound.

What happened last night.

They all witnessed it with their own eyes.

A fifth-rank warrior, who could walk sideways in Yongning County, was chased and beaten by these two ruthless people.

He didn't even run a few steps before he was forced to self-destruct.

He thought he could hurt two people, but he didn't expect that he would take it lightly.

Such a powerful monk was definitely not something they could provoke.

Ren Pingsheng noticed that the atmosphere in the inn was a little strange, and without thinking much, he walked to the innkeeper, took out a silver note from his arms and handed it to him: "I accidentally destroyed the window in the room last night, these are compensation."

The innkeeper's lips trembled, and he wanted to refuse, but looking at the silver note, he couldn't say it.

"Do you think I'm a bully?"

Ren Pingsheng was a little helpless, put the silver note in his hand, and said casually: "Prepare some cakes."

"Little, little understand, please sit down, sir."

The innkeeper didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly prepared the cakes.

Ren Pingsheng looked around, and seeing the reactions of the crowd, his brows frowned slightly.

In this place, strength is respected.

Low-level monks are full of fear of high-level monks.

Because most of them are independent cultivators, with no one to back them up, they have to be careful when walking in the rivers and lakes, for fear of angering the strong and being treated as ants and wiped out at will.

From another perspective, it also shows that the authority of the court in such places is far weaker than that in the capital area.

In the capital, low-level cultivators are also in awe of high-level cultivators, but they are not as cautious as them.

Because they know in their hearts that even a fourth-level cultivator cannot bully the weak for no reason, otherwise he will be sanctioned by the court, and in serious cases, he may even be wanted by the court.

But here.

The government is not to say that it is in name only, but it is not much different, and the law of the jungle is particularly obvious.

"It seems that the surface of the Great Zhou is calm, but in fact, there are undercurrents. It is unknown when a crisis will break out."

Ren Pingsheng sighed in his heart, threw away his distracting thoughts, looked at Xiao Rongxue, and asked, "Where is Lisa?"

Xiao Rongxue said, "I'll go and see."

As he said that, he got up and walked to the second floor.

After a while, he returned to the table, followed by a sleepy girl.

She was of medium height, wearing a light crimson gauze shirt, and looked about fourteen or fifteen years old.

Her long, thick seaweed-like hair was slightly curly and golden.

Her oval face was whiter than snow, and she had a moving aura.

Her pupils were lavender, slightly blurred, and she was obviously not awake yet.

Looking at the exotic little beauty, Ren Pingsheng was a little confused and couldn't help asking, "Who is she?"

"Lisa."

Xiao Rongxue seemed to have anticipated Ren Pingsheng's reaction and shrugged: "I have confirmed it, it's her."

"..."

Ren Pingsheng was silent for a while.

I never thought.

Taking a bath and changing clothes can make such a big change.

The color of the pupils of the barbarians is mostly lavender and light blue, without much change.

But the hair color, skin, and even facial features are very different.

Some have brown hair and wheat skin.

Some have red or golden hair and fair skin.

Some have dark hair and skin, and look no different from cotton pickers.

Yesterday, Lisa's face was dirty, and I thought she would be a third-type barbarian, but she turned out to be the second type, and her facial features were much more delicate than expected.

Whether it is the aesthetics of the barbarians or the Zhou people, she is considered a top beauty.

But she is too short, and is considered a dwarf by the barbarians, and is not favored by the barbarians.

But for the Zhou people, it is normal.

"Hmm..."

Lisa stretched out her hand to rub her eyes, half-opened her eyes and looked at Ren Pingsheng, and asked vaguely: "Where are we going?"

Ren Pingsheng did not answer, but just asked: "Are you still asleep?"

Lisa shook her head gently and subconsciously explained in barbarian language.

Meaning, she hasn't slept well like today for a long time without any worries.

Before, she slept in the wild, afraid of meeting bad people, and afraid of being taken away by tigers, so she slept with her eyes open.

As the prince of Zhenbei, Ren Pingsheng has been dealing with barbarians for many years. He knows some barbarian language and can understand roughly. He thought: "This little girl looks stupid and ignorant of the world, but she is actually quite smart. At least she knows how to protect herself."

Aside.

Xiao Rongxue didn't understand any barbarian language. She stared blankly, not knowing what Lisa was saying. She could only ask Ren Pingsheng: "What did she say?"

Ren Pingsheng said: "She said that she hasn't slept peacefully like last night for a long time... How about you stay and sleep with her for a while, and I'll go to the government office alone?"

Xiao Rongxue showed a hint of hesitation on her face, and opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

Before she opened her mouth, the waiter's voice came from the side.

"Sir, your cakes!"

Ren Pingsheng took a look at the various cakes, sat down, and said casually: "Let's talk after breakfast."

"Eat?"

It seemed that some key words were triggered.

Lisa's whole person was alert all of a sudden, her eyes widened, looking at the food on the table.

There seemed to be light in her clear eyes, full of desire.

"..."

Ren Pingsheng's eyes twitched, and he looked at Xiao Rongxue: "It seems that there is no need to be so troublesome."

Xiao Rongxue looked helpless and nodded.

Next.

Ren Pingsheng spent three taels of silver to fill Lisa's stomach.

You know.

Before Lisa, even in the best restaurant, two people would not spend one tael of silver for a breakfast.

It can only be said that Man Xiu's ability to eat is really scary.

Having said that, I don't know how strong Lisa is since she can eat so much.

She punched away a ninth-grade warrior, so her strength must be far beyond the ninth grade.

Eighth rank, seventh rank, both are possible.

If it's sixth rank...

One punch, that Li Fu is probably half dead, and it's impossible for him to speak again.

Of course.

It's not impossible to be sixth rank.

After all, Lisa was so hungry that she was dizzy and weak, and she couldn't exert her original strength.

"You can spar with her when you have nothing to do and see her true strength."

Ren Pingsheng thought so, looked at Lisa, and asked, "Are you full?"

"Yeah."

Lisa wiped her mouth, narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked satisfied.

"We're going to the government office later, you can stay here, or you can go with us..."

Before she finished speaking, Lisa said, "I'll go with you."

As if she was worried about being abandoned by the two of them, she added, "I won't eat so much in the future."

After that, like a child who had done something wrong, she lowered her head and clenched her fingers nervously.

Ren Pingsheng smiled: "It's a blessing to be able to eat. I can afford a little meal."

Lisa hesitated for a moment and whispered: "This is not good."

Meaning that she shouldn't eat and drink for free all the time.

Ren Pingsheng said: "If you feel bad, just keep a record and ask your elder brother to pay it back later."

Hearing this, Lisa's eyes lit up and nodded heavily.

"It's almost time, let's go."

Ren Pingsheng looked at the sky, said no more, stood up, left the inn, and went straight to the government office.

Xiao Rongxue and Lisa followed closely behind.

…………

At this moment.

In the government office.

The main hall.

The Yongning County Magistrate paced in place, looking anxious, and said unhappily: "What happened last night? Why did the assassin from Yanyu Tower appear in the city?"

On both sides sat the leaders of the major forces who were invited by him early in the morning.

Hearing the county magistrate's questioning, each of them looked solemn and said nothing.

They also heard about what happened last night.

A fifth-rank assassin from the Misty Rain Tower suddenly attacked the young man living in the Guangju Tower at night, but was easily killed.

You don't need to think about it.

The assassin must have been sent by someone from Yongning County.

"Didn't we agree yesterday to do as that person said, donate money and grain, and when the storm is over, I will find a way to make up for you. Why do you still have to do this!"

The magistrate of Yongning was angry, looked around, slammed the table, and said unhappily: "Things have come to this point, how do you want me to end it?"

After the voice fell, there was silence in the hall.

After a few breaths.

The head of the Zhao family said in a deep voice: "This matter has nothing to do with my Zhao family. After I returned to the mansion yesterday, I immediately ordered people to prepare money and grain. Now I have raised 18,000 taels of silver, which is enough to show the sincerity of my Zhao family."

Following this, the other powerful people agreed, indicating that they did not hire a killer to kill.

"If no one hired a killer, would the gold medal killer of Yanyu Tower come to Yongning County for no reason?"

The Yongning County Magistrate looked anxious: "It's okay for you to fool me, but fooling that person, isn't the Li family's previous experience enough?"

"It may not be us who hired a killer to kill people. That person has a rampant personality and must have enemies everywhere. Maybe it was done by his enemies?"

The leader of the Blood Knife Sect said coldly, "Besides, he is a person in the court. I don't believe that he dares to kill people without evidence."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone looked at him with frowns.

The Yongning County Magistrate also looked at him.

Just then.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, the door was kicked open.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a young man in brocade clothes standing there, holding a broken knife in his hand, his face as cold as frost, and his tone was cold: "Should the county magistrate give me an explanation for what happened last night?"

The voice fell.

The heart of the Yongning County Magistrate instantly sank to the bottom of the valley. After a slight hesitation, he pointed at the Blood Knife Sect Master: "Sir, the matter has been investigated. This person hired a killer from the Misty Rain Tower."

The others echoed: "It's this person!"

"?"

The Blood Knife Sect Master was confused and didn't react at all.

Ren Pingsheng looked at the Blood Knife Sect Master and threw the broken knife without saying a word.

Clang!

The loud dragon roar resounded throughout the hall.

The Blood Knife Sect Master showed fear in his eyes and subconsciously wanted to escape. Before he could get up, his head was chopped off.

After killing someone, the Hongming Knife turned half a circle in the air and returned to his side, standing in the air, majestic and awe-inspiring.

When everyone saw this scene, including the county magistrate, they all widened their eyes and looked shocked.

"That knife is a spiritual weapon!"

Before they could recover from the shock.

Ren Pingsheng spoke again, his tone cold: "This knife can identify lies. You swear in front of this knife that you did not participate in the assassination yesterday."

The voice fell.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, without any hesitation, and swore: "We have never intended to harm you, nor have we hired someone to kill. The assassins in Yanyu Tower have nothing to do with us."

Ren Pingsheng observed the expressions of the people and found nothing unusual. He asked indifferently: "Where is the money and grain you donated?"

The magistrate of Yongning said hurriedly: "I plan to donate 18,000 taels. It has been loaded and will be sent to Shizhou Prefecture soon."

After a pause, he added: "The gentry of Yongning County heard your call yesterday and responded to donate money and grain to share the pressure for the people. I predict that within three years, the people will not have to pay any taxes.

In addition, the taxes collected these days have been ordered to be returned in full. In addition, all the indentures signed within this month will be invalidated..."

He said a lot in one breath, obviously he was well prepared.

Ren Pingsheng listened expressionlessly, looked around, and said coldly: "I know what you are thinking. It's nothing more than that after I leave, everything will remain the same. The money and grain lost now can be recovered from the people in the future."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone's heart tightened, and they lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.

"Today I will tell you that I will come back here every once in a while. If I see you knowing your mistakes but not changing them, and still oppressing the people of Yongning County..."

At this point, a sharp light burst out from his eyes, and a strong murderous aura emanated from his body: "Everyone present today, one by one, must die!"

Looking at the Yongning County Magistrate, he said sternly: "Including you!"

The Yongning County Magistrate was as if he had been hit by a slap in the face, his legs softened, and he knelt on the ground, his voice trembling: "I will remember it!"

The others were frightened by Ren Pingsheng's momentum, and dared not neglect it at all. They knelt on the ground in a hurry, and echoed in a trembling voice: "We will remember it!"

Ren Pingsheng snorted coldly, and waved his hand without saying anything more to them.

Everyone saluted respectfully: "We will leave."

The Yongning County Magistrate knelt on the ground, trembling, and did not dare to move without Ren Pingsheng's order.

Ren Pingsheng glanced at him: "You go down too."

"Yes, sir!"

The magistrate of Yongning County left in a hurry as if he had been pardoned.

In an instant, Ren Pingsheng was the only one left in the hall.

He walked to the body of the man and ran the "Soul Devouring Art", and found that the assassin was indeed him.

"Yanyu Tower... can actually train a fifth-grade warrior as a killer. It is quite capable. When I come back from Yunlong Secret Realm, I will have a good meeting with it."

Ren Pingsheng thought so, strode out of the county government, looked at Xiao Rongxue who was waiting at the door, and waved his hand: "Let's go!"

Xiao Rongxue followed without asking any more questions.

An hour later.

A shocking news spread in Yongning County.

The Blood Knife Sect, which had been entrenched here for decades, was powerful and committed many evils, and was brutally wiped out.

The whole family, no one was left!
