Chapter 944: Lord of Maocheng

When the man saw the Red Soul Coin, his eyes widened and he showed a greedy expression.

"Enough! Enough!"

With that said, the man put the Red Soul Coin into his pocket.

Old man Zhang looked at Zhou Ran in surprise: "Guest, you gave me too much. A few steamed buns are not worth so much money."

"It's worth it!" Zhou Ran said seriously, "If I didn't have those steamed buns, I would starve to death. Isn't my life worth a Red Soul Coin?"

Old man Zhang was speechless. Today he met a kind person. If it weren't for Zhou Ran, this house would have been vacated by the tax department.

"Aren't you leaving yet?"

Zhou Ran glanced at the man contemptuously.

If a man gets an advantage, he will naturally not stay any longer.

"I'm leaving! I'm leaving now! Good night you two!"

The man left Old Man Zhang's house in a hurry, and the house became quiet again.

Old Man Zhang burst into tears of gratitude and said, "Guest, you are such a good person. You took out a Red Soul Coin in one breath. You saved me."

Zhou Ran smiled and said: "You're welcome, old man. If I hadn't been busy, I'm afraid I would have bothered you here for a few more days. I will leave Maocheng tomorrow, and I don't know when I will come back next time."

"Okay! Okay!"

Old man Zhang's eyes were full of tears.

The two chatted for a while and then went to sleep.

Although the bed that Old Man Zhang made for Zhou Ran was simple, Zhou Ran slept soundly.

At dawn the next day, Zhou Ran said goodbye to Old Man Zhang and left Maocheng.

As long as he passed through two or three more city-states, he could reach the capital of Qing Kingdom. Zhou Ran walked eastward for several miles.

At this moment, Zhou Ran felt a pain in his heart.

"What?" Zhou Ran said to himself, "Did something happen to Maocheng?"

Zhou Ran no longer traveled eastward, but turned back.

After returning to Maocheng, Zhou Ran immediately realized something was wrong and ran to Old Man Zhang's house.

The entire house suffered great damage, the doors and windows were in disrepair, and the simple furnishings in the house were in a mess.

Zhou Ran's face darkened and he immediately walked into the house.

Old man Zhang was lying on the ground dying, mumbling something.

Zhou Ran helped old Zhang up and asked, "Old man, what happened?"

Old man Zhang was furious and said: "They came to steal the money. If I can't get it out, they will beat me..."

Probably because of seeing Zhou Ran, Old Man Zhang closed his eyes after finishing his last words.

Zhou Ran was furious and walked out of the house.

When something like this happened, there must be onlookers. Zhou Ran found the neighbor next door to Old Man Zhang and asked, "What happened just now? How did Old Man Zhang die?"

The neighbors were frightened and saw Zhou Ran's murderous look on his face, so they had no choice but to tell the truth.

"It's people from the Taxation Department. Many people came! They asked Old Man Zhang for Red Soul Coins, but where did Old Zhang have any Red Soul Coins? Old Man Zhang couldn't get them, so they beat him to death."

The neighbor's words made Zhou Ran feel pain in his heart.

Unexpectedly, what killed Old Man Zhang was the Red Soul Coin he took out.

The people in the tax department are just a bunch of hungry wolves who don't have enough to eat. They got one red soul coin and wanted a hundred.

"Where is the Maocheng Taxation Department?" Zhou Ran asked again.

When the neighbor saw Zhou Ran's anger, he didn't dare to hide it and pointed in one direction.

"over there.

But the people in the tax department are very powerful, so you'd better not go there. "

Zhou Ran didn't care about that and went straight to the Maocheng Taxation Department.

The houses in Maocheng are simple and simple, but only the tax department's mansion is well-built and magnificent.

Zhou Ran was too lazy to pay attention and walked straight into the Maocheng Taxation Department.

As soon as he walked in, someone immediately stopped Zhou Ran and said, "Who are you to break into the Taxation Department?"

Zhou Ran looked at this man. It was the man who came to Old Man Zhang's house to collect taxes last night.

The man recognized Zhou Ran and was overjoyed: "So you are here, no wonder you can't be found in Old Man Zhang's house! We beat him for an hour, but he didn't even say where you went! Since you threw yourself into a trap, I'll kill you Hand over all the money you have!”

"money?"

Zhou Ran sneered and took out another Red Soul Coin.

The man was overjoyed and said: "Yes, yes, this is it. Hand over all the Red Soul Coins!"

"Get it!"

Zhou Ran threw the Red Soul Coin towards the man, but Zhou Ran's true energy had been injected into the Red Soul Coin. It was no longer an ordinary Red Soul Coin, but had turned into a hidden weapon.

The man was caught off guard, and the Red Soul Coin made his head explode.

Zhou Ran committed a murder in the residence of the Taxation Department in Maocheng, which immediately attracted other Taxation Department personnel.

When these people saw the tragic death of their companions, they were all furious.

"Who is this person? How dare you kill someone in the Taxation Department!"

"You're so brave, don't you want to live?"

"Get it for me!"

Everyone rushed towards Zhou Ran.

The Taxation Department of the Qing Kingdom was established by Dongli, the leader of the country. The people in the Taxation Department are all elite soldiers and generals.

The people who besieged Zhou Ran were all Nascent Soul masters.

If Zhou Ran was in a peaceful mood, he would not attack impatiently, but now that these people are the murderers of Old Man Zhang, how can Zhou Ran endure it?

Using your fingers as a sword, sword energy bursts out.

The sharp sword energy gave these Nascent Soul masters no chance to fight back. They all screamed in surprise and then fell into a pool of blood.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Ran killed all the more than 20 people from the Maocheng Taxation Department.

The strength of this group of people is far different from his own. When Zhou Ran killed someone, he didn't care about who was who. As long as he was wearing the uniform of the Tax Department, he would never be spared.

Everyone was killed by Zhou Ran.

Now that he had avenged Old Man Zhang, Zhou Ran was too lazy to stay in the Taxation Department for a long time.

Just as he was about to leave, someone stopped in front of Zhou Ran.

"Oh my God! What did you do?"

The man exclaimed, his eyes full of despair.

Zhou Ran saw that this man was in rags and was probably an ordinary citizen of Maocheng, so he didn't bother to pay attention and walked past him.

But unexpectedly, this person suddenly grabbed Zhou Ran and said, "You can't leave! If you leave, I will be finished!"

Zhou Ran looked at this man in surprise and said, "The Taxation Department committed crimes and killed people on the street. I killed people from the Taxation Department. What does it have to do with you?"

The man made a sad face and said: "How come it doesn't matter? I am Qi Maolin, the lord of Maocheng City. You have killed all the people in the Taxation Department. As the lord of the city, I will definitely be punished!"

"Are you the city lord?"

Zhou Ran looked at Qi Maolin in shock.

Even in the city-states in the outer regions, the city lords are well-dressed, so how could they be dressed like Qi Maolin. .

This Lord City Lord is like a beggar, which is really shocking.

"I am really the city lord! If you kill someone, I will arrest you!" Qi Maolin said tremblingly.
