Chapter 234: Broken Mirror Lead Refining Completed, Prepare for Promotion
Bai San was drinking at this time.
Although Yongyangfang was not rich, there were still several taverns.
Bai San did not have to pay for his drinks. When he was happy, he grabbed a girl he had robbed and held her in his arms and began to grope her.
The girl screamed in surprise, but his men burst into laughter.
The tavern owner dared not speak out, and even had to smile.
It was at this time that Shang Jingchuan rushed in first.
"Hey, you old man, I didn't beat you to death just now, which was a bargain for you. Do you dare to cause trouble?"
Someone recognized him and cursed.
Shang Jingchuan ignored him and just looked at Bai San who was sitting in the middle.
"Are you Bai San?"
"Yes." Bai San said coldly, but his movements did not stop at all, causing the girl in his arms to cry.
"Did you instruct someone to do the thing about the Bai family's old store?"
"Yes."
"Very good." Shang Jingchuan nodded.
"After talking for so long, who the hell are you?" Bai San said nonchalantly.
"Me?" Shang Jingchuan raised his head and said proudly.
"I am the upcoming Jingzhao prefect of Yandu City, responsible for all public security matters in the capital. Now I declare that you are bullying the market and doing whatever you want. You deserve to be killed. Why don't you kneel down and confess your guilt!"
The room was quiet at first, and then a crazy laugh broke out.
"Hahahaha, I thought it was an old prince, but I didn't expect it to be a lunatic!"
"I'm dying of laughter, Jingzhao prefect, why don't you say you are the current emperor?"
Bai San also laughed, "Let me kneel down and confess my guilt? Don't say you are not Jingzhao prefect, even if you are, you don't have the qualifications!"
As he said that, he leaned back in his chair and waved his hand, "Drag him out and kill him, don't make it everywhere and affect my mood for eating."
"Yes!"
Several people responded to the order and stepped forward, but these people just walked in front of Shang Jingchuan, and they didn't wait for them to reach out to grab them.
Suddenly, a faint light flew in from outside the door and circled around the people.
All of them froze, and then stood there motionless.
Bai San didn't pay attention to these. He was planning to eat the girl in his arms later, so when he saw that the people didn't move, he reached out and threw a wine glass.
"Damn, what are you hesitating about?"
As soon as the voice fell, the heads of the people flew up suddenly, and blood even sprayed on the ceiling.
The dead bodies fell to the ground, and this horrifying scene also made the room boil.
Bai San reacted the fastest. He kicked over the table in front of him, pushed the girl in his arms forward, and turned around and ran.
He knew better than anyone that he could take off the heads of these people without anyone noticing, which showed that the strength of the person who did it was extraordinary.
Staying here is waiting to die, it is better to fight to the death.
But although the idea is good, the reality is cruel.
He was about to rush out of the window to escape the scene, but suddenly stopped.
Because there was a person standing outside the window at this time.
A handsome young man was smiling at him.
Although the smile was very bright, Bai San's hair stood on end.
He remembered that this room was on the second floor. Although it was not high, it was not something that ordinary people could get up.
He wanted to rush out of the window just now, thinking that it would be better to fall than to lose his life.
But now this young man was standing steadily outside the window. This creepy feeling can be imagined.
The person outside the window was naturally Zhao Ya.
He just followed Shang Jingchuan to the second floor, killed those gangsters with a knife, turned back and left the restaurant, and then came to the window to wait for Bai San.
The whole action was done in one go, and it was extremely fast.
This was because Zhao Ya knew Bai San too well. After encountering something, he would definitely escape as soon as possible, and from his position, the best way to escape was the window.
At this moment.
Zhao Ya gently pressed the windowsill and jumped into the house.
"My brother's name is Bai Wang, and he is the leader of Xiong Kun, the leader of Tianqinghai Sea of the Four Seas Gang. Who are you and why do you want to kill my men?"
Bai San first reported his brother's name, trying to intimidate Zhao Ya.
Zhao Ya certainly wouldn't buy it.
But after hearing the name Xiong Kun, Zhao Ya still smiled.
He had fought with this Xiong Kun once when he was wearing the Rakshasa mask. This Xiong Kun's strength can only be said to be mediocre, but his horizontal training method of turning his flesh into armor is quite good, which left a very deep impression on Zhao Ya.
Seeing Zhao Ya smile, Bai San breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled and said: "I don't know if this person has any relationship with you, there must be some misunderstanding between us, why don't we..."
Before he finished speaking, another flash of knife light flashed.
Bai San's expression froze, and then a blood line was seen extending from the corner of Bai San's mouth to both sides.
The next second, Bai San's head was split into two parts, the part above the mouth was cut off, and then slowly slid down.
Even so, Bai San's chin was still moving, as if he wanted to say something.
But soon, this movement stopped completely, and then Bai San's body fell down with a bang, splashing blood all over the ground.
This bloody scene completely frightened everyone present.
Even Shang Jingchuan, who was prepared in his heart, turned pale and almost vomited.
Zhao Ya turned around and looked at the trembling tavern owner as if he had just done something insignificant.
"Should all these people be killed?"
The tavern owner was speechless, but the girl who was forcibly abducted suddenly shouted.
"All of them should be killed!"
"Good!"
Since the killing spree has already begun, Zhao Ya doesn't mind killing a few more.
No one will care if these social scum who bully others die.
At the same time, these young hooligans all reacted, and some of them shouted "Oh my God" and turned around and wanted to run.
Zhao Ya sighed slightly when he saw this, "Why don't you just stand there and wait to die? You have to make me spend more energy."
As he spoke, Zhao Ya walked forward and swung the meteorite knife in his hand lightly. He seemed careless, but he always appeared at the most appropriate time and in the most appropriate place, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of these people.
When Zhao Ya walked to the door, there were corpses all over the ground behind him. All of Bai San's men were dead.
A drop of blood slowly slid down the blade of the meteorite knife, and then the long knife was sheathed.
Zhao Ya smiled at Shang Jingchuan, "Okay, I've done what you asked me to do."
Smelling the strong smell of blood, Shang Jingchuan felt that the food he had eaten last night had reached his throat and he could spit it out as soon as he opened his mouth.
But he gritted his teeth and nodded, and then a word popped out from between his teeth.
"Okay!"
"The next step is up to you, because killing is easy, but the end is difficult. If we leave like this, Bai San's brother and the Four Seas Gang will definitely not let them go." Zhao Ya said.
Shang Jingchuan nodded again, then took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the discomfort in his stomach, and said in a deep voice.
"My name is Shang Jingchuan, and I am the newly appointed Jingzhao prefectural governor of the current emperor. This gang of villains bullied the market and did all kinds of evil. I ordered them to be executed on the spot. If anyone dares to retaliate, let them come to Jingzhao Prefecture to find me. It has nothing to do with you!"
After saying this, Shang Jingchuan turned and left.
Zhao Ya nodded secretly when he saw this.
Although not perfect, Shang Jingchuan's response was simple and effective.
The key is that the Jingzhao prefect is indeed responsible for social security, and what he said is impeccable both in terms of legal principles and human feelings.
Zhao Ya helped Shang Jingchuan mainly for two reasons.
The first is naturally for Shang Luoluo's face. After all, Shang Jingchuan is her father, and he can't just sit back and watch.
The second, and most important point, is that Zhao Ya thinks Shang Jingchuan should be the Jingzhao prefect.
Don't underestimate this official position. Although the position is not high and it is easy to take the blame, the actual power is very large.
In particular, his jurisdiction is just aimed at the Four Seas Gang.
This invisibly gives him a relatively large advantage.
Because no matter how arrogant the Four Seas Gang is now, they dare not openly attack and kill a court official.
Unless they really intend to rebel.
In this way, if Shang Jingchuan can do well in this position, it will be a great help to Zhao Ya in the future.
As soon as he left the tavern, Shang Jingchuan couldn't stand it anymore and found a corner to vomit.
Zhao Ya stood in the distance and watched.
When Shang Jingchuan finally had nothing to vomit, Zhao Ya asked, "Have you thought about it?"
"I have thought about it. I will go back and clean up later. I will take office today." Shang Jingchuan wiped his mouth and let out a long breath.
"You have to think clearly. After you really sit in this position, you will be under pressure from all sides. If you make a wrong step, you may be doomed." Zhao Ya said lightly.
"So what?" Shang Jingchuan smiled generously.
"I have studied for many years and thought I was very broad-minded and saw through the world, but it was not until I was scolded by Luo Luo a few days ago that I realized that I had been living in a dream."
"I used to think that only by entering the cabinet and holding great power could I save the people from the water and fire, but what I experienced in the past few days told me that I should not love a world that exists in an illusion, but love every specific person. Only in this way can I live up to the sage books I have studied for so many years."
"So I have made up my mind, I will definitely be the prefect of Jingzhao! Dayan is too big, and I can't manage it with my ability, but I can manage the capital of Yan first. I believe that as long as I work hard, at least people like Bai San will have nowhere to hide, and those oppressed people at the bottom will have hope!"
When he said this, Shang Jingchuan's eyes were shining with a strange light.
Zhao Ya laughed and patted Shang Jingchuan on the shoulder, "Okay, since you have this ambition, I will lend you a hand."
"Thank you!" Shang Jingchuan thanked sincerely.
"You're welcome. Let's go home first."
"During the time I was away, Luoluo has been living with you?" Shang Jingchuan suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Uh... She has been living with Zui'er, and I sleep alone outside."
Shang Jingchuan waved his hand, "No need to explain, I don't blame you, and let her live with you from today. I don't care about my life, but I can't let Luoluo get involved. I feel relieved to have you protect her."
Zhao Ya looked at Shang Jingchuan deeply, then nodded seriously, "Okay!"
"But I also have a question for you."
"Hmm? What's the question?"
"Don't you have the strength of the third realm? Why didn't you fight back when those thugs beat you?" Zhao Ya asked.
Shang Jingchuan looked embarrassed, "In fact, my strength of the third realm was hard-earned by the cultivation of the court. I have never been in actual combat. It's okay to bluff people, but it's not useful in a real fight."
"In addition, I didn't expect that these guys would actually dare to take action at the time. My mind went blank. Only after I was beaten did I remember that I still had some strength."
Zhao Ya nodded to express understanding.
Strength does not only depend on realm, but also on experience against the enemy. Civil servants like Shang Jingchuan, for example, only have appearances but no reality.
After Zhao Ya brought Shang Jingchuan home, Shang Luoluo, who had been waiting anxiously, felt relieved.
Then Shang Jingchuan began to take a bath and change clothes. After finishing cleaning up, Shang Jingchuan took the letter of appointment and left for Jingzhao Mansion.
Zhao Ya saw this and asked, "Do you need me to go with you?"
"No, I'm just going to take office, and I'm not going to fight. I can't let you follow me in everything."
"good."
Then Zhao Ya and Shang Luoluo walked outside the door and watched Shang Jingchuan leave.
Shang Luoluo was a little surprised, "Why do I feel that my father is different?"
"Really, what's different?"
"My father would never do this kind of practical work in the past. Even when he was the county governor, many affairs were actually handled by his subordinates or me. That's why he was so big when he was appointed as the governor of Jingzhao. reaction, but today I feel like he can’t wait.”
Zhao Ya smiled and said, "Maybe you have figured it out! By the way, your father asked you to move your things here and live here from now on."
Shang Luoluo was caught off guard, his face turned red, and he responded in a low voice.
"oh!"
Zui'er appeared out of nowhere and said happily: "Is it true, Brother Xiaoya, does that mean we can sleep together in the future?"
The merchant dropped his head and almost plunged into the ground.
Zhao Ya didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't talk nonsense, you two are in the same room, I can sleep in another room."
"Oh!" Zui'er felt a little regretful.
At this moment, the arrival of a person broke the awkwardness.
"Zhao... Mr. Zhao!" A handsome young man said inarticulately.
"Rao Mingyue?" Zhao Ya was stunned, then thought of something, and quickly walked down the steps to greet her.
"What's going on? Why are you here?"
"My master asked me to come over and tell you that everything is ready!" Rao Mingyue said.
Zhao Ya was overjoyed when he heard this.
He had been studying sword skills during this period, so he didn't go to Mo Qi's side.
Unexpectedly, the two beast beads were already refined.
This also means that Zhao Ya's promotion is finally approaching.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go over now."
Then Zhao Ya said something to Zui'er and Shang Luoluo, and rushed to Mo Qi with Rao Mingyue.
as expected.
After waiting, Mo Qi pointed to the two boxes on the table with a proud expression.
"Fortunately, the two beast beads have been refined and can be used to break through the realm at any time."
