As the prefect of a region, the Hanging Magnetic City Lord has jurisdiction over not only the Hanging Magnetic Immortal City, but also the surrounding villages and towns, as well as many sects and families.
Yugang Mountain is naturally also under his jurisdiction.
Although he was a Yuan Ying monk, as a prefect, he was barely half a feudal official. But in the face of Jindan-level Meng Zizhong, he also felt very tricky.
Those who come out to mix must pay attention to their background and power.
This is more prominent in the righteous path than in the demonic path.
It is very easy to take down Meng's self-respect, and the magistrate can easily do it. He didn't need to take action himself, just give an order to make Meng Zizhong bow his head.
The difficulty lies in the background of self-respect.
Meng family!
This is the family of Nandou Kingdom, one of the founding heroes.
Although he has a family, his help is very small, and the actual situation is that he relies on his own strength to feed back the family.
He knew very well that even if the Zhu family royal family dealt with an important minister like the Meng family, they had to be cautious and pay attention to methods and timing. Not to mention him?
"Do you want to report that Meng Zizhong has troops and supports bandits? This evidence alone is not enough." The magistrate shook his head, revealing an obvious sense of prevarication.
Ning Zhuo smiled: "Prefect, I know your difficulties. Don't worry, the kid is not here to embarrass you this time."
"You just need to report it and believe that the royal Zhu family will inevitably react immediately. At that point, you just have to do what you are told."
"Of course, I can also summon Lord Zhu Xuanji directly. However, after thinking about it, I still felt that reporting beyond the level meant contempt for the prefect. You must know that although I am young, I am also the patriarch of the Ning family. Naturally, we must lead by example and act according to the regulations."
The corners of the prefect's eyes twitched, and he scolded: "This little rabbit, you are leapfrogging the report! I can't hear or see, so I don't have the embarrassing situation I have now?"
The prefect's heart was full of helplessness.
From this simple answer, he already knew that Ning Zhuo must not be deceived! This young junior is quite proficient in the rules of the righteous path, and it is safe to use him as an opponent in an equal manner.
"Wait a moment, I will report it." The magistrate of Xuanci threw Ning Zhuo out of the door, turned around and went back to the study, and used emergency channels to report the case.
Ning Zhuo stood outside the door of the study, not walking around randomly, standing still, without any crampedness or restlessness, indifferent.
He knew from the beginning that the magistrate of Hanging Magnetic could not be the master and could not be relied upon.
He came here just to use this primordial infant monk as a microphone.
What Ning Zhuo really wants to rely on is the royal Zhu family!
Of course, even if the magistrate of Hanging Magnet is just a message, he will inevitably be involved. He really didn't want to wade through this muddy water, but there was really no way, it was just a person sitting at home, and disaster came from the sky.
Over the years, the Nandou Zhu family, as the royal family, has become more and more difficult to control the Nandou Kingdom.
It is not easy for the monarch to carefully select the magistrate of Hanging Magnetic, support him, and let him sit in the Immortal City of Hanging Magnetic. It is in the court that he frequently clashes with major ministers, wins over and suppresses, unites vertically and horizontally, and struggles to seize the gaps, so that he will succeed.
At this moment, he suddenly used the emergency contact channel to convey a key case, which was immediately valued by the monarch.
Meng's self-respect seems to be very small, but it is actually related to the game between the Meng family and the Zhu family.
"Is this Ning Zhuo again?" The king sighed, "As expected of the son of the calamity, wherever he goes, there will be waves."
The monarch frowned, she didn't really want to deal with this matter, and she also felt quite tricky.
Because of an improper handling, the Zhu family will have a fierce confrontation with the Meng family. As a royal family, the strength of the Zhu family is of course stronger than that of the Meng family, but the entire Nandou Kingdom is not only the Meng family, but also the Su family, and other important ministers and generals.
If the Zhu family consumes too much strength on the Meng family's body and exposes the signs of weakness, there will be a greater risk.
As the king of a country, you naturally have to judge the situation and not ignore any risks.
"The magistrate cannot be used." The monarch of Nandou first determined this.
She wanted to keep this rare local cadre, and she couldn't easily let him get involved in the confrontation between the royal family and the Meng family.
Therefore, the king of Nandou needs to find someone who can be trusted and can withstand the possible backlash of the Meng family.
Soon, the monarch of Nandou thought of a candidate.
Zhu Xuanji galloped in the air.
He was like a golden rainbow, piercing through the sky.
"In half a day, we can arrive at Qimen Immortal City. By transiting through it, the journey can be greatly shortened and you can quickly return to the capital."
Just as he was thinking, Zhu Xuanji's expression suddenly changed slightly, and the token in his arms trembled slightly.
He was not far from Qimen Immortal City, so he received an urgent royal order conveyed from the location of the Immortal City.
"Let me go to the Hanging Magnetic Immortal City to deal with urgent matters?"
He took a closer look, and his face suddenly darkened.
Because he saw a name that he didn't want to see.
"Ning Zhuo?!"
"This kid ran to the Hanging Magnetic Immortal City, what did he mess with?"
"Black Wind Tiger Demon, Meng Zhe......"
Zhu Xuanji's face was stunned, and he understood the royal family's intention to let him change his path halfway.
He sighed and continued to move forward - with the help of Qimen Immortal City, he could teleport over a long distance and directly reach the Hanging Magnetic Immortal City.
That night, Zhu Xuanji saw Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong again in the mansion of the Xuanci Prefect.
After reviewing the image, Zhu Xuanji said bluntly: "This incriminating evidence cannot prove that Meng Zizhong has a private connection with the Black Wind Tiger Demon. He can completely infer that he felt the killing intent from the monk's stone fragment, so he attacked first."
"In addition, there are all kinds of excuses, even if they are ridiculous, they can be used by him."
Sun Lingtong: "There is a god who catches the lord, tracing back to the source and under the golden eyes, are we still worried about not finding his evidence and handle?"
Zhu Xuanji frowned and said nothing.
The magistrate shook his head slightly: "The trouble in this matter is that the evidence of the crime has been found!"
"Raising bandits is a great sin. Especially when it comes to the death of the previous mayor, this is a murder of a court official and completely touches the bottom line."
"We cannot launch such an attack at will until we are fully prepared to fight against the Meng family in an all-out way."
Such a serious crime, the Meng family cannot directly confess to it. Because the crime is too great, once it is truly admitted, the losses suffered by the Meng family will be extremely heavy.
And once the guilt is proclaimed, the Zhu family will also be difficult to ride. If the criminals are not brought to justice, the weakness of the royal Zhu family will be completely exposed, and the disobedience of the major families will be even worse!
At that time, the situation will evolve into an all-out confrontation between the Zhu family and the Meng family, and even if the Zhu family wins, there is a high probability that their vitality will be seriously damaged. The process of fierce fighting will allow other families to profit from it.
Ning Zhuo smiled, already expecting: "My Ning family and the Zhu family are the same, the Zhu family and the Meng family are at war, and I will be the first to suffer."
"After all, Meng Yan is still the current Fire Persimmon City Lord."
oo￠o
"This time to deal with Meng Zizhong, there is no need to involve him in the great crime of raising bandits. Get him off the horse and let our people control Yugang Mountain, that's fine."
"Meng Zizhong is under the command of the magistrate of Xuanci, this is a hidden danger. Pulling him off the horse is good for you, the prefect, and for the royal Zhu family, isn't it?"
This simply went to the bottom of the heart of the magistrate of hanging magnetism, which made the prefect take a deep look at Ning Zhuo, and the evaluation of him in his heart was raised again.
Zhu Xuanji snorted coldly and pointed to Ning Zhuo: "I know that you kid has calculated, just say it."
Ning Zhuo said so.
The three monks listened carefully, and when they heard Sun Lingtong calling out a good plan, Zhu Xuanji nodded slightly.
The magistrate looked at Ning Zhuo again. I have to say that the young man in front of him left a deep impression on him.
This plan seems simple, but the speculation and grasp of human nature has reached a subtle level.
According to common sense, the age of sixteen or seventeen is the time when you are innocent and romantic, easily moved and impulsive, but the young man in front of you is like an old man who is deeply involved in the world, has experienced the ups and downs of the eunuch field, has experienced the vicissitudes of the human heart, and has an unfathomable city.
"He still has talent that has not been detected...... The future is bright." Realizing this, the magistrate of Hanging Magnetic couldn't help but feel a little close to Ning Zhuo.
After proper discussion, the four of them began to act.
A few days later, Meng Zizhong saw the information in his hand and couldn't help but be furious: "Check, check for me, who spread the rumor!"
A rumor has been in the uproar recently, pointing the finger at Meng Zizhong, saying that he secretly funded the Black Wind Tiger Demon and was the real culprit behind the death of the last mayor. Meng Zizhong has the ambition to raise enemies and plot evil deeds!
However, the strict prohibition and investigation had no effect, but made the rumors more and more intense, and many versions were derived.
One of the rumors actually broke through the hidden mountain of the Black Wind Tiger Demon, which made Meng Zizhong tremble.
He didn't dare to pretend to be big, so he sent a letter back to Meng's house, only talking about the current situation of rumors in Yugang Town.
The Meng family immediately became alert, knowing that someone must be causing trouble behind the scenes. In a situation where they couldn't investigate anything, in order to avoid having too many dreams at night and being dug up with criminal evidence, they decisively chose to abandon the car to protect the commander!
Meng Zizhong entered the barracks and began to deploy garrisons to actively prepare for war.
Meng Zizhong stood on the platform and shouted loudly: "This general has been ordered to sit here in danger, and he has always been conscientious and fed his horses and soldiers."
"I will continue to send reconnaissance, and I finally got something a few days ago, and I found the hiding place of the Black Wind Tiger Demon. However, the demons and spies in the town are making waves, spreading rumors, and trying in vain to provoke civil strife in order to delay the opportunity for our army to attack and buy time for the demons to transfer."
"Hmph! How could this general easily fall for the scheme? This time, I personally lead the army, vowing to take revenge with you, fight bravely to kill the enemy, sweep away the demons, and return the bright world of Yugang Town!"
"Warriors, follow me to charge into battle, slay down demons, and create a prosperous and peaceful world!"
The garrison responded in unison, and morale was fully mobilized.
Immediately dialed up, lined up neatly, and stepped into the teleportation array.
The teleportation array was activated frequently, directly teleporting the town garrison to the vicinity of Wuyin Mountain.
In this way, the movement could not be concealed and could be heard by the Black Wind Tiger Demon gang.
The tiger demon's eyes were red, and he fell into a rage, roaring, and led a group of demon cultivators out of the valley and went straight to the military formation!
