Main text Chapter 57: Disrespecting the gods and becoming the host
When the city patrol arrived, they had long since lost sight of the two men. As for the pedestrians and merchants inside and outside the city who dared to stay when they saw the officers and soldiers being beaten, they retreated long ago for fear of suffering an unreasonable disaster.
Seeing that nothing could be found, the patrol leader had no choice but to ask the fallen soldiers, but the answer he got made him frown.
"Only two people? Or with bare hands? Two people brought down nearly twenty officers and soldiers with weapons in their hands?"
The patrol leader was about to get angry, but was interrupted by the sudden sound of footsteps.
An official came hurriedly, came to the leader's side, clasped his fists and saluted, and then said: "Master Cao, there are two people making trouble at the Chenghuang Temple. Please take someone over to have a look. The government officials can no longer suppress them! "
"Huh? In front of the City God's Seat, someone dares to make trouble? If you don't respect the gods, you are not afraid of retribution? It's really weird today. First, someone beat the officers and soldiers, and now... By the way, you said it was two people making trouble, could it be..."
The patrol leader changed his mind and thought of something. Without any delay, he led his people towards the City God's Temple. But by the time they arrived, the temple was already empty of people, whether they were believers, pilgrims or troublemakers. They were all gone, leaving only a mess on the ground, and several temple priests were cleaning up the mess.
The patrol leader asked someone for questioning, and then he found out that the two troublemakers came to the temple, pushed the door down and knocked down the wall, and finally yelled at the statue of the City God. But for some reason, one of them suddenly spurted blood from his mouth, and the two The people left in a hurry again.
It came suddenly and went directly.
"Weird thing! What is the origin of these two people? Why are they acting so strangely?"
After thinking about it, the patrol leader called two people, a close confidant and the official who reported the news before. He ordered: "This matter is quite a big deal and cannot be ignored. You should report it to Commander Huang and Magistrate Wen. Let them decide.”
The two of them followed the order and left. The leader then led people to patrol the city, hoping to find the two people who were causing trouble. Of course, he didn't know that those two people were currently sitting in the main hall of Pan's Mansion, talking with the new owner of Pan's Mansion. .
The main hall of the Pan family is not grand, but has an antique charm. The aroma of sandalwood permeates everywhere, refreshing the heart.
Two big men were sitting on the left and right, but they were not sitting upright. One of them had his legs hanging on the back of the chair, while the other had one leg bent and his foot on the chair. His body was swaying from side to side, looking like he couldn't settle down. look.
The attire of these two people is quite strange. They are obviously tall and thick. They are wearing ill-fitting straight skirts. The sleeves are tight on the body and obviously do not fit. It is obvious at a glance that they are not tailor-made, and the front is wide open. , exposing her chest, with thick chest hair, which makes people unhappy.
If you usually see someone dressed like this, let alone being a guest of Pan's house, it would be a delusion to step into Pan's house. But now, Master Pan not only let the two of them in, he also sat at the head of the table, talking to the two of them in a pleasant manner. Talking, lowering eyebrows and lowering eyes, and catering to others.
"How do you say in your human terms that you have become the head of a family at such a young age?" The big man with his legs on the back of the chair had messy hair on his head. The sides of his hair were raised high. From a distance, he looked like a man. Across Tianjiao, he looked at Young Master Pan and said carelessly.
Next to him, the big man with his feet on the chair followed: "Brother, you want to say that you are young and promising, don't you always praise the young master like this?" In terms of physique alone, this big man is much stronger than the big man with messy hair. , but the face is slightly soft, but the forehead is high and protruding, which makes people feel awkward.
"That's ridiculous." Young Master Tang San lowered his body. Unexpectedly, the big man with wild hair suddenly jumped up from the chair, landed on his feet, and trampled the floor to pieces. Then he grinned, revealing his white face. teeth.
"Do you think I'm praising you?" He bent down and looked directly at Master Tang San, who suddenly turned pale, "Who is my young master? Do you deserve to be compared to me? But the young master died, and you are still alive! Our brothers I came here this time to find out the cause and effect of the matter! Once the murderer is caught, he will be killed with a thousand cuts!”
Even though the wild-haired man deliberately lowered his voice, it was still like beating a drum, making Master Tang San's eardrums hurt and his face became paler.
"Misunderstanding, this is..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" At this time, the big man with a protruding forehead also stood up from his chair and stepped forward, "Tell me everything you know about the situation!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Young Master Pan stood up, sweating like raindrops, and nodded hurriedly, "Zheng Yan, please explain this to the two masters quickly."
As the words fell, Zheng Yan, who had a flattering smile on his face, bent down and walked out from the side, reporting the events of the past two or three days one by one.
Unexpectedly, the two big men became furious after hearing half of it.
"What a mess! Even servants and long-term workers are suspected? Do you think we are stupid? Four Soul Condensing Realm monks were killed together with the young master. Could this be done by a mortal servant? It makes no sense! If you want to investigate, you should investigate the monks! Check the masters! Isn’t your Pan family very powerful and have many people? Go out to Taoist temples, academies, and martial arts schools, and target the people in the Soul Condensation Realm and the Soul Refining Realm! Wild Wolf Demon, isn’t this a clue, won’t you send someone to investigate?”
The wild-haired man roared and raised his hand as if to strike, but pulled it back halfway. However, the violent aura coming out of him frightened Zheng Yan so much that his legs went weak and he sat on the ground.
"You and your subordinates are useless!" The big man with a prominent forehead also cursed, scolding Young Master Pan as if scolding his own grandson.
"Be bold!"
Suddenly there was a loud shout outside the door, and the energetic chief manager of Pan Mansion walked in.
His chest rose and fell, and he stared at the two big men with his old eyes: "You two monsters, you should be grateful for the kindness of the Pan Mansion for not being driven out. You dare to bite the host with your guests. You are simply ignorant of the depth of heaven and earth!"
"What did you say, you old man?" Hearing this, the big man with a bulging forehead became furious and walked forward to block the front of Pan Dazongguan, "Are you tired of living?" At the same time, he also clearly felt that the fragile aura on the other party was clearly that of a mortal without any cultivation.
"Get out of here!" Unexpectedly, Pan Dazongguan waved his hand, "What kind of family is my Pan Mansion? Poetry and books have been passed down from generation to generation, and they have been officials for generations. Can you, a monster, bully us?"
As he said, he ignored the ugly expression of the big man with a bulging forehead and walked straight, forcing the other party to retreat and reveal the scene behind him.
"Master, what are you doing?" Seeing Master Pan San bowing his head, General Manager Pan immediately changed color, "How can you devalue yourself and bow your head in front of evil spirits? If the master knew about this, he would be awakened by you."
"Shut up!" Master Pan San bowed his head in front of the two big men, but he had a different momentum in front of General Manager Pan. He scolded them and then quickly apologized to the two big men, "The servant was ignorant and bumped into you two. Please calm down. I will send someone to investigate according to the order. I hope you two can say a few good words in front of the old immortal in the future."
"Master you..." General Manager Pan's face changed, and his cheeks flushed unhealthy red.
"This old guy is so stupid. As a servant, he doesn't understand the master's intention. Isn't this looking for death?" Zheng Yan, who was collapsed on the ground, saw this scene and sneered.

On the other side, Qingchang County, the inn where the Liu family stayed.
Liu Huai was leading Qiu Yan upstairs. His face, which had been frowning for many days, was now full of smiles.
"... What a pleasant surprise. Who would have thought that Rong Niang would suddenly wake up..." Liu Huai was still talking when Liu's voice came from the front -
"Brother, don't let Yan'er stand outside. Come in quickly..."
