King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Entering the inner room, this is the county magistrate’s residence, and even the decoration is very luxurious.

To be precise, it is different from the outside world.

Not long after Zhu Tan and others sat down, County Magistrate Guo walked out from the back room and was immediately surrounded by a large group of people.

The atmosphere was very quiet. Zhu Tan and others were very calm. Zhu Tan smiled slightly and looked at Guo Zheng.

Shen Lian remained calm and reached for the Embroidered Spring Sword on his belt. Not long after, the prefect took a few steps forward.

County Magistrate Guo held a long knife in his hand and said sinisterly:
"Who are you? Otherwise, I will kill you!"

At this point, Guo Zhenghe's voice became more solemn.

"Tell me! Do you want us to draw our swords?"

Zhu Tan said: “I understand.

"What does the county lord mean by this? The county lord, are you still worried about us? We didn't do it on purpose!"

"We are just an ordinary businessman passing by!"

While Zhu Tan was answering, he was thinking in his heart, could it be that Qin Haodong already knew their true identities?
Zhu Tan didn't understand, his eyes fell on the prefect, but if that was the case, why would he do this?

Or is there another hidden story? But it seems that this county magistrate is not a smart man!
County Magistrate Guo put away his long sword and smiled slightly:
"Very good, since you two are both businessmen, call him over! Capture him, cut him into pieces, chop him into meat sauce, and throw him into the river!"

As the prefect spoke, his men began to take action.

Zhu Tan quickly said, "Mr. Guo, what's going on? Where is the cooperation we agreed on?"

"That's right! So, I will give you an explanation!" The prefect turned around and laughed, "Are you stupid? Tell me, your 70-70 split is indeed a good idea, but this is the method I want! Why should I join forces with you!"

"Just now in the government office, I saw you brought a lot of people here, so I arranged some things, wanting to catch you in one fell swoop. It really lives up to your reputation. Zhu Tan is just a piece of wood, as stupid as a big tree!"

Zhu Tan focused his attention on his own name, while the prefect was hesitant and couldn't even say his own name clearly.

After he finished speaking, seeing Zhu Tan's confused face, Guo Zheng laughed and said:

"What an idiot! You are just too naive to be in this world!"

"It's better not to let others know about this!"

Zhu Tan also laughed.

The magistrate laughed
Zhu Tan burst into laughter, and the room suddenly erupted in laughter.

"Smile for me! What are you laughing at? Lin, if I give you a smile, I can give you an easy death.

Zhu Tanyuzhi took over the conversation and said:
"That's right! That's what you've said! If that were the case, I would have been thrown into the sea long ago!"

As soon as the prefect waved his hand, a group of people rushed forward with knives in hand.

Looking at so many people, it's really a bit scary. They are not ordinary villagers. Each of them is very strong. You can tell at a glance that these people were trained by the county magistrate himself and have good skills.

"Fight him. I just saw that he is fat and strong. He is really good! Yu County, I am afraid you can't beat him!" County Magistrate Guo gave an order to a big man, and then said to Shen Lian: "Then let me see how capable you are! I will let you, Sun Wukong, see for yourself! Can you escape from my Five Finger Mountain?"

The big man stepped forward, Shen Lian drew out his sword, and surrounded Zhu Tan. Although there were dozens of them, no one could get close to Zhu Tan, or in other words, they couldn't even touch a hair of his.

So Zhu Tan laughed, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. This guy actually knew Sun Wukong, and he must have read "Journey to the West" by Wu Chengen of the Ming Dynasty.

It sounds like reading a novel.

I am also a writer. If I were in the Ming Dynasty, I really don’t know how much I would have achieved.

It must be great! With my own supernatural powers, it would be great if I could write a Dream of Red Mansions.

Zhu Tan was like this, with an evil smile on his lips, completely immersed in his own virtual world.

……

However, Guo Zheng's expression was not so relaxed, because the battle lasted for a long time, and he gradually realized that things seemed to be developing in an unexpected direction.

Something doesn't seem right.

After three rounds, none of the men he had trained with great effort could get close to Zhu Tan at all, and were instead suppressed and beaten by Zhu Tan.

Shen Lian and the others still had the strength left, but they did not want to reveal their identities as Jinyiwei, so they did not reveal themselves following Zhu Tan's suggestion.

Shen Lian and the other three only made one move to decide the outcome.

Zhu Tan smiled, picked up his long sword, and walked towards Guo Zheng.

The magistrate shuddered: "What are you going to do? I am an official of the imperial court! If you dare to hit me, you will die!"

"An imperial official? You did it!"

"Stay away from me, I've practiced!"

"Training? Have you practiced the Five Thunder Strike?"

"I don't have it, but my lady does. Help!"

At this moment, the prefect remembered that his wife was also a martial artist, and that knife was his wife's sword.

County Magistrate Guo's first wife was standing nearby, so Zhu Tan naturally saw it, but she had already gotten what she wanted, so she turned around and left.

……

"Let me go!"

"Let me go! I will work hard for you!"

A true villain would say so much when his death is imminent!
Zhu Tan chopped down with his sword, making a huge sound of breaking through the air, which made Guo Zheng feel a little scared.

When he woke up again, Zhu Tan didn't do anything to him.

Zhu Tan's face had the same evil look as Guo Zheng's:

"I won't hurt you! Honey, I can't bear to do anything to you. I'm waiting to act with you. I'm going to make a fortune!"

He shuddered all over, his legs trembling:

"Master Chen is right! That's right! Master Chen, you and I need to continue to work together! Can we work together?"

"Master Chen, can you just treat it as me farting?"

The prefect no longer had the arrogance he had before. He crawled on the ground like a pitiful insect, begging for mercy.

Zhu Tan looked down, as if he had traveled through time again. Those alien creatures were so powerful, and humans were like a humble insect, crawling on the ground, begging to be spared.

"none of your business!"

Zhu Tan suddenly spoke, which surprised Guo Zheng!
Zhu Tan quickly returned to normal.

"You wish!" he said unhappily.

……

From then on, the prefect's attitude towards Zhu Tan became much more respectful. He asked his wife to arrange Zhu Tan in the best room. He didn't want to offend Zhu Tan's guards, so he asked his confidante to move into his own room. The wife of the first wife was very polite. In Zhu Tan's room, she poured him a cup of tea with a very respectful attitude.

"Master Chen, let's go!" Come on, drink!"

Zhu Tan looked at the eldest lady with a smile, sighed, and then let him leave.

……

When the group was alone together, Xu Changnian finally asked:
"Your Highness, Your Highness, why would you cooperate with him like this? Is it necessary? Why do I always feel like I am being superfluous?"

"what do you mean?"

"Why don't you reveal your identity and try again? What are you doing—"

Zhu Tan looked at Qin Sheng with a smile, and then said, "Is it interesting?"

"Interesting?" Leokes asked doubtfully.

Xu Changnian was stunned when he heard this. Liu Ruo said, "You don't know this! Don't you know that the young master wants to have some fun with this county lord? There's no point in killing him."

Zhu Tan gave a thumbs up: "Yes, I want something interesting. We are here for more than just this purpose. There are other things as well."

"Huh? What is that?" Xu Changnian was even more confused. He widened his eyes and stared at Zhu Tan with a puzzled look.

He was really puzzled. Why did his emperor, his master, and his son suddenly become a mystery?
"That's right! Yes, yes, yes!"

Zhu Tan said: “That’s good.

Xu Changnian said coldly: "Young Master, could you please stop being so mysterious in front of us? We are all reckless men!"

Zhu Tan stood up and raised the teacup, but he never picked it up.

"It's very simple. No one is innocent in the world of corruption. Have you ever heard that if a cockroach appears in a person's home, a group of cockroaches will appear behind him!"

Zhu Tan spoke in modern language, which no one present had ever heard of. After hearing what Zhu Tan said, they all shook their heads.

"Yeah! But I'm more concerned about the corrupt group behind the county magistrate."

After he said this, several people suddenly understood. Xu Changnian said, "I understand. The young master wants to catch them all in one fell swoop. There is no rush!"

Zhu Tan nodded and said, "Just now Guo Zheng asked someone to discuss with his boss and let him prepare for war and making money."

"Send someone to keep an eye on the magistrate and find out where he is going!"

After saying that, Xu Changnian immediately stepped out.

"It seems that the mastermind behind this incident is Aquaman!"

"King Haiyang?" Liu Ruo asked in confusion. How did he know?

“Although Hangzhou is not under the jurisdiction of the King of Haiyang, most of the local officials are sycophants, and those with power will naturally go to him, and the King of Haiyang is one of them.

Liu Ruo looked embarrassed: "Since he is a local lord, then the King of Haiyang should be your cousin, right?"

"What are you going to do?"

Zhu Tan nodded slightly: "The law is not merciful, we must do this!"

Zhu Tan glanced at Shen Lian, and Shen Lian immediately understood what he meant.

……

Zhu Tan slept alone in the hospital bed, his mind was blank.

This time, what he had to do was to fight corruption and deal with a small corrupt official. He had just arranged everything, and the next step was to teach the corrupt official a lesson.

……

It was not until the sky gradually darkened that Zhu Tanfang remembered that the most important thing for him now was to practice martial arts.

Now that his practice is no longer aided by the cultivation system, the system no longer rewards Zhu Tan, but lets him explore on his own.

Zhu Tan said, "Is this true? You didn't even give me a reward. I'm so depressed that I don't even have the motivation to train!"

Xiao Wu said: "You are not a three-year-old child anymore. If you ask me to give you some benefits every time, you will become a useless person."

What Xiao Wu said was right, but Xiao Wu was different. Although she was only fifteen years old, all she said were harsh reprimands, just like Zhu Tan's parents.

Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips, appeared in front of Zhu Tan, and said, "You, can't you make me prouder? As the saying goes, the master brings people in, and the apprentice practices on his own! In this world, not every effort will be rewarded!"

"Alas, the world of immortal cultivation is so cruel. I do this for your own good!"

Xiao Wu spoke one sentence after another, leaving Zhu Tan with no way to refute.

Zhu Tan: "..." Xiao Wu's cultivation system was like Zhu Tan's golden finger, but his golden finger disappeared. Although there was another girl, she still looked like a human, so Zhu Tan didn't feel anything.

You can only see it, but you can't touch it, and you can't do anything.

Zhu Tan had a doubt in his heart, so he said straight to the point: "I thought you would soon become a real man, but you didn't react at all?"

Zhu Tan was referring to Xiao Wu's level. He had read an introduction in a book that once it reached level 10, this intelligent artificial system would completely evolve into a real human being.

But now it seems that Xiao Wu's cultivation system has remained at level ten for a long time, and the reading speed has remained at 99.99%.

This made Zhu Tan very puzzled.

Xiao Wu pursed her lips and changed the subject: "I have tried my best. What about you? Haven't you been very quiet all the time? He is only at the fourth level of foundation building."

"Yeah, I'm curious too. Have you been missing out on some training lately? No! Do you want to suck me off again?!"

Zhu Tan was a little confused at first, but who knew that Xiao Wu would just leave as soon as she said she would.

In fact, Zhu Tan has put all his energy into improving himself. Damn, I thought I was a golden finger, but I was treated as a golden finger by others.

"Well! Forget it! When you grow up, don't forget me, Zhu Tan. Remember me, remember my kindness, remember every bit of my strength. Every minute and every second belongs to me. You must grasp it well. It's all mine!"

When he said this, Zhu Tan's face turned ugly, but soon he started to laugh.

"Xiao Wu is a great name, it's very similar to my sister!"

Zhu Tan began to practice martial arts, looking like he was in a trance.

Then, he fell into a deep sleep in his exhausted thoughts.

I think during the day and dream at night, but there are many dreams and chaotic sounds come to my ears.

"I don't care if you are an official of the Censorate or not!"

"I heard that an imperial envoy was sent over here. Could it be his men?"

"If it's his people, then this matter will be difficult to handle!"

"Difficult? Then don't do it!" (End of this chapter)
