Chapter 38 Waves
There was a splash of some magnitude in the officialdom of Cangzhou City.

An unknown kid, with only one level of cultivation, used the power of a magic weapon to kill the River God of Qingshui River by a sneak attack, and then openly declared that "the one who killed the River God is the capital of Cangzhou, which is a wise idea."

To the civilians, the news had not yet spread.

But for the Cangzhou officialdom, the news had already spread to all the government offices an hour ago because of its legendary nature.

The reason why it is said to be neither big nor small is because this matter can be big or small.

A second-level monster, released a hundred years ago, was killed, so what? Even if it was the group of dragon sons of the Baishanjiang Dragon King who were killed, no one in the Baishanjiang Water Tribe dared to say a word.

But it's different now.

The Baishanjiang tribe is now the god of wealth for the Cangzhou government. The funds allocated by the court are reduced year by year, and the local government is unable to make ends meet. What can they do? They can only live off the mountains and the water.

The Dragon King took charge and opened the waterway. He also took out the treasures from the Dragon Palace to support the government.

In addition, Cangzhou has well-developed water transportation, so it naturally needs water, and thus has many connections with the Baishanjiang Water Clan. Nowadays, all the aristocratic families in Cangzhou have more or less some relationship with the Baishanjiang Water Clan.

The River Lord of Qingshui River is, after all, a member of the Baishan River water tribe. He maintains the water transportation and fish catches of the Qingshui River and has even become a god. They and the Zuo family are responsible for controlling rainfall and other weather conditions. No matter whether they are aristocratic families, merchants, or fishermen, everyone depends on these water tribes for a living.

Now, He Bo has been killed. Is this a big deal or a small deal?
At least for now, no one can explain it clearly.

In the inner city of Cangzhou, in a garden.

"Today, can you give me an explanation, sir? After my great-grandson died, that man said he was your man. Is that true? Is this what the government wants?" A hunchbacked old man sitting in Ximen's house in Cangzhou said lightly.

Although his words were polite, his tone was not.

In the Qiyun Divine Dynasty, there are many ways to become an official, such as conscription, civil and military examinations, and the selection of filial and honest people and talented people.

Among them, the largest number of people were selected as filial and honest people and as virtuous and capable people.

Many aristocratic families, such as the Ximen family today, have a long family tradition of studying classics, and many of them are filial, honest, and virtuous, and they are often chosen to be officials.

The Ximen family is at the bottom of the class among the aristocratic families, but they are still not comparable to ordinary unruly people.

Common people who practice cultivation at one level are all outstanding people, but the children of aristocratic families are everywhere at one level, which shows that they have been well educated, and it is natural for them to become officials.

Such a virtuous person naturally held many official positions in the government, so in the government offices of various places in Cangzhou, they could all send out their own children to speak a few words.

After Gui Cheng spoke, the person opposite him——

"Prime Minister Gui, you are joking. How could this matter come from the government? Although the Ximen family is not a wealthy family, most of the clerks and registrars in the government come from our family. We do have the ability to check the files. Just wait a moment, and there will be results." A middle-aged man was trembling in fear below. Although his words were neither humble nor arrogant, he still trembled a little while speaking.

How can I not tremble?

The Turtle Prime Minister of Baishan Jianglongjun, a great demon in the fifth realm, is considered a big shot in the whole Cangzhou. But he can be gone by just a stomp of his feet in the Ximen family.

And this monster actually came to visit the Ximen family today, hoping to check the files...

I heard that it was his favorite great-grandson, a golden-blood dragon turtle of a different species, who was currently serving as the River Lord in Qingshui River, and then was killed by someone...

The murderer called himself Gao Jian, and said that he was from the capital of Cangzhou, and rode a celestial horse from the Western Regions.

It is certainly against the rules for a monster to look into government files.

But rules are dead after all, and people cannot die like rules.

So the Ximen family agreed directly.

The files are currently being reviewed.

Soon, the Ximen family's housekeeper came to report: "Master... we have finished checking. There is no official named Gao Jian in the capital of Cangzhou. Do we need to check the list of clerks? But there are hundreds of thousands of clerks. It will take at least ten hours to check."

"Prime Minister Gui...what do you see?" The head of the Ximen family wiped his sweat.

The hunchbacked old man nodded: "I'm not an unreasonable person. I'll give you ten hours and I'll sit here and wait." "Thank you, Prime Minister Turtle." Ximen Jia found a place to sit down, then poured tea and waited with the fifth-level demon.

----------

at the same time……

In a village.

"Okay, you two, get off the horses and settle down here." Gao Jian threw the two exhausted women off the horses.

These two people were basically exhausted, and their greed for money and energy absorption activated once, which almost killed them.

So they didn't even nod or shake their heads, because they couldn't move.

This is the home of the old farmer named Chai.

As soon as the old farmer saw Gao Jian bringing his daughter Ni'er back, he immediately rushed over to check on her safety.

After confirming that Chai Ni was not dead, he immediately kowtowed and thanked her profusely: "My benefactor! I will definitely build a shrine for you! I will keep the incense burning and will keep it in my diary every day!"

Gao Jian said, "You can do whatever you want with those. Take the money, pack up your things and move away from here. Go somewhere else, find a secluded place to hide. The water tribe will not take you seriously. What you should worry about is whether your fellow villagers will pull you down. If they gossip about you behind your back, you will really have no way to survive."

"Also, the two of them have lost their energy. Eat more meat, get more sun, and don't go out at night. Don't be exposed to the wind. Take good care of them. Let the girl go back when she recovers. Things are not over yet, so I'm leaving first."

After he said that, he kicked the horse's leg and the horse galloped towards Cangzhou without stopping.

The job is done, now it's time to wrap it up.

If he hid himself, then when they wanted to find someone to take the blame, they would definitely go to the old farmer's house. You can imagine what would happen then.

So, he had to hurry.

He went to Cangzhou City, took up an official position, and then took on this matter alone.

The two brides are nothing; Gao Jian is the culprit. As long as Gao Jian shows up, the pressure will naturally fall on him.

As for fear?
joke.

So, without any stopping, he headed straight towards the capital of Cangzhou!

Not long after——

The capital of Cangzhou.

This is the center of the entire Cangzhou, where the population gathers, with tens of millions of people gathered here.

Cangzhou has well-developed water transportation and dense water networks, and the capital of Cangzhou is the center of these water networks.

The Baishan River splits into three here, becoming the source of three important tributaries.

Because of the unique geographical conditions here, this place was once the Dragon Palace of the Baishanjiang water tribe.

Here, it is easy to control the Baishan River and all the water networks and veins involved.

However, this moment is Cangzhou, the capital of the Qiyun Divine Dynasty. Many years ago, when Cangzhou was established, the Baishanjiang water tribe was expelled and their glory was gone.

But now the situation has changed.

Judging from everything Gao Jian had seen, this place had already been infiltrated by the Baishanjiang water tribe, right? The Baishanjiang water tribe dreamed of returning to this place, to their "Dragon Palace".

At this moment, it was already four hours after He Bo was killed.

As night fell, Gao Jian had already arrived in the capital of Cangzhou, and chose to enter the city and report as soon as possible.
