The Grand Princess Chapter 96: Buying a house (please subscribe, please monthly ticket!)

"You're not bad either. Counting this harvest, it's almost ten million taels." Xiao Ran said.

“I haven’t even got enough money to keep warm, so I’m very sad.”

Looking puzzled, Xiao Zhou asked doubtfully.

"Why didn't you help me buy the elixir for you?"

"Ask yourself." Xiao Ran said.

"Brother Xiao, you have so much money, what are your plans?"

"Buy a house."

"Don't you have three houses? Are you still buying one?" Xiao Zhou was surprised.

"Money will only depreciate in your hands, but houses will not. With so many people in the capital, there are countless people who want to settle here. House prices will only rise, not fall. Buy more around here and open up the walls. , find some craftsmen to beautify it, and make it comfortable to live in." Xiao Ran said.

"That's true! It's money that can be spent." Xiao Zhou nodded.

More anxious than Xiao Ran.

"Without further ado, let's go there now."

"Okay." Xiao Ran responded.

Out of the yard, walked towards Xinyi Ya.

Xinyi Dental Shop is located in Jingwenfang, which has more resources and has a lot of properties here.

When you get here, explain your purpose.

The boss of Yahang enthusiastically invited the two of them into the VIP room.

Good tea and snacks are served.

"Do you really want to buy the ten houses near No. 98?" The boss confirmed again.

The house Xiao Ran lives in is No. 98, and the houses on the left and right are No. 97 and No. 99.

"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded.

"House prices there are not cheap, and there are still people living there. They have no plans to move out in the near future. If you want to buy a house nearby, you will probably have to pay a premium."

"Money is not an issue. I only have one request, that this be done as soon as possible." Xiao Ran said.

"I have a suggestion here, you might as well listen to it." The boss said.

"You already own three houses. Buying ten more houses nearby is equivalent to buying more than half of Xiaolong Lake. If you have sufficient funds on hand, I suggest buying nine more houses near Xiaolong Lake together. Next. In this way, Xiaolong Lake will be your private lake, and you can build a wall around it to enclose Xiaolong Lake."

"Xiaolong Lake?" Xiao Ran was puzzled.

"Yeah." The boss explained.

"Xiaolong Lake was originally built by a first-class official at a great expense. It was connected to the water source from the Ornamental River. The scenery is beautiful, and it is a good place for self-cultivation. It is absolutely perfect for reciting poems, painting, playing chess and meeting friends. Unfortunately, with the This first-class official was arrested after the crime, and Xiaolong Lake was abandoned, and it no longer had the reputation it had before."

"According to what you said, how many thousand taels will it cost to buy 19 houses and Xiaolong Lake?" Xiao Ran asked.

The boss is holding an abacus.

Thunderbolts thundered.

After calculating it three times, he put down his abacus and said seriously: "It's about 21 million taels. I'll erase the fraction for you and make it 21 million taels."

"I, Brother Xiao, am a big customer. How can I buy so many houses at once, plus Xiaolong Lake, without any discount?" Xiao Zhou interrupted.

"Sir, it's not easy for us to do this. We have to ask the people living there to move out and then buy them at a premium, which will cost money..."

Xiao Zhou interrupted him.

"Don't be miserable. We are all born and raised in the capital. We know everything here. Just tell us if there is a discount. If there is no discount, we will find another one. There are so many dental shops, and you are not the only one who can do this. ."

“We really can’t make much concessions on the price, and we don’t make much money. But we can help you transform Xiaolong Lake and restore it to its former glory, and then send manpower to convert the twenty-two sets of courtyards. Open it up and build a wall to connect Xiaolong Lake and the yard." The boss expressed the utmost sincerity.

"Brother Xiao, what do you think?"

Xiao Ran looked at the dental shop boss, "When can this be done?"

"Seven days! Seven days at most, this matter will be done." The owner of the dental shop calculated and said.

After paying a deposit of five million taels, the dental office wrote a receipt.

Sent the two of them out enthusiastically.

Xiao Zhou said: "Brother Xiao, do you have so much money? How about I go back and ask my father to lend you some?"

"It's just enough to buy a house, but I have to be frugal in the future." Xiao Ran said.

On this trip to Qingzhou, I made about 10 million taels.

Coupled with the wealth accumulated in the past, I can just collect the money.

Xiao Zhou was envious, "Brother Xiao, you have to treat us! There is a dragon in Zuixianyuan, let us play freely."

"Aren't you afraid that your father will get the news and come to Zuixianyuan with a stick to block you?"

"That's right! Then let's go to Chunfangyuan. I don't believe he can still block me." Xiao Zhou changed his mind.

"Okay! You go back and call the adults, as well as Chen Wenheng from Longyuan Academy. I'll call Lao Bai and Lao Zheng to get together," Xiao Ran said.

"Yeah." Xiao Zhou left in a hurry.

The capital city covers a large area and has four county governments in total: Nancheng County Government, Beicheng County Government, Dongcheng County Government and Xicheng County Government.

There is no high or low position in the four major county government offices.

But Nancheng County Government Office and Beicheng County Government Office are undoubtedly more prosperous, and the residents are all dignitaries.

Xiao Ran's house is right here in Nancheng.

Taking out the identity token, the government servant at the door saw a blue sword guard and bowed respectfully.

"I'm looking for Bai Zhanyu." Xiao Ran said.

Bai Zhanyu is Lao Bai’s full name.

"Sir, please wait a moment, I will go in and give you a message." said the Yamen servant.

Soon.

Lao Bai walked quickly from inside. After a long distance, he opened his hands and hugged Xiao Ran: "Brother Xiao."

Xiao then took a step back and said, "I don't like this."

Lao Bai was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "It's me, Meng Lang."

"Are you free today?"

"Obviously you don't have time when others ask, but Brother Xiao, you are different. Even if you don't have time, you still have to have time."

"Slippery." Xiao Ran rolled his eyes at him.

I saw that the clothes on his body had changed and he was wearing the clothes of a fast class head catcher.

"Have you been promoted?"

"Luckily." Lao Bai smiled proudly.

"Very good." Xiao Ran was happy for him.

"I bought some houses, and I just happened to have nothing to do recently, so I wanted to hang out with you."

"Some? Not a set?"

"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded.

Lao Bai swallowed hard and stretched his head: "Brother Xiao, are you still short of people for the Divine Sword Guard? Do you think I can do it?"

"What's going on here?" Xiao Ran asked.

“I don’t make as much money as you do.”

"We have a lot of tasks, and they are very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be in catastrophe. If you are not afraid of danger, I can help you."

"What about Xiao Zhou?" Lao Bai asked.

"He is smarter than you, and his cultivation talent is quite good, especially in body skills. He is even more outstanding. Even though he is only at the master level now, even the average grand master cannot catch up with him when he really runs."

Gulu!

Lao Bai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Isn't this kid so good at running away?"

"When we came back yesterday, his father led a group of people to block him at the city gate, and there were two great masters who didn't even touch the corners of his clothes."

"Talent!" Lao Bai was completely convinced.

Let the officer know.

The two left together, on their way to the Criminal Department.

Lao Bai sighed: "Brother Xiao, you know? Lao Zheng has not been doing well recently."

"What's wrong with him?" Xiao Ran was surprised.

"Speaking of which, Lao Zheng fell in love with the daughter of the Minister of Punishment, who also had a crush on him. If this situation continues, by the time the rice is cooked, even if the Minister of Punishment is no longer willing, Once the baby is born, you have to hold your nose to recognize it."

After a pause, Lao Bai felt worthless for him.

"Just when they were dating at the Red Line Bridge, the Minister of Punishment somehow got the news and took them back on the spot. If the girl hadn't begged for mercy and threatened to die, Lao Zheng would have been arrested by now. Imposing a series of unfounded charges, ranging from being sent to the frontier to being killed on the spot at worst!"

"When did it happen?" Xiao Ran asked seriously.

"What happened after you left, he has now lost his official position and lives in a rented house."

"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded.

Entered the alley and stopped outside a remote courtyard.

Before entering, I heard cursing coming from inside.

“You can’t even pay the rent, but you still want to live with me? Get out of here before I take action!”

The two looked at each other and entered the courtyard without saying a word.

In the yard.

A fat woman, with her hands on her hips and seven or eight guards, pointed at the closed door and cursed loudly.

Hearing the footsteps coming from behind, he subconsciously looked back.

When I saw Xiao Ran and Lao Bai, the former was wearing a black brocade suit. It was made of the finest sky silk fabric and was expensive.

The latter's clothing is not bad either. Although it is not as good as the sky silk fabric, it still costs a lot of money.

The arrogant arrogance subdued a bit, and he asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"

"Are you the landlord?" Xiao Ran said.

"I am! Are you?"

"What's going on?" Xiao Ran asked again.

"Huh! He has been delaying for three days and still hasn't paid me the rent." The fat woman said.

"How much?"

"Two taels of silver."

Xiao Ran took out two taels of broken silver and threw it over, "The people with you get out of here."

The fat woman has a very good eye, and judging from the way they are dressed, she knows they cannot be offended.

Moreover.

Old Zheng was an official before, so it was inevitable that he would know some important people. Maybe they would just take the money, apologize to Xiao Ran and the other two, and leave quickly with them.

"I failed in my duty." Lao Bai blamed himself.

He also heard a little bit about Lao Zheng's matter, but he didn't expect it to be so tragic. There were also a lot of things in the yamen, and he was busy with work and neglected it.

"It's not your fault." Xiao Ran said.

Go to the door.

The door was locked from the inside, and with a strong slap, the door bolt inside was shattered, and he entered the room.

In the bedroom.

Old Zheng was so helpless that he lay on the bed like a zombie.

My eyes were empty, looking at the old, dusty spider webs above my head, with no life in sight.

Even when Xiao Ran and Lao Bai came, it was as if they had not been seen before.

"Get up!" Lao Bai rushed over.

Grabbed Lao Zheng by his clothes and lifted him up from the bed.

Old Zheng was calm and his expression did not change at all, and he let him lift it up.

Seeing his appearance, Lao Bai was furious. He raised his hand to wake him up. His palm was already raised and hung in the air, but he did not fall down.

"I'm so angry!" Lao Bai said angrily.

Throw it violently and throw him on the bed.

"Brother Xiao, he is useless! He is no longer the old Zheng we knew."

Xiao Ran looked at him and said, "If you haven't stood up within three days, let's go! Once we get out of this door, we will never touch the river again."

Three breaths passed quickly.

"Coward!" Lao Bai cursed.

Turn around and leave.

When the two of them walked to the door, Lao Zheng, who was on the bed, started sobbing and rushed down as fast as he could, "Stop!"

Standing in front of the two of them, deep in the corners of his eyes was the pain that pierced his heart.

"Why bother?" Xiao Ran sighed.

Enter the house.

Old Zheng told what happened in detail, including what happened to him after he was captured by the Minister of Punishment.

What Lao Bai said is only one-sided.

After letting him go, he sent people to deal with him secretly and robbed him of all the money he had accumulated over the years.

At the same time, he also said harsh words that as long as he was in the capital, he would be punished every time he saw him.

If he dares to get close to anyone, others will be in trouble.

"He went too far to bully others." Lao Bai said angrily.

Xiao Ran signaled him to be quiet and looked at Lao Zheng, "What are your plans for the future?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Lao Zheng said after hesitation.

"If you need our help, just ask."

"Thank you!" Lao Zheng was grateful.

"I'm treating you to a guest today. Xiao Zhou and the others are all going. Chunfangyuan won't come back until they're drunk." Xiao Ran said.

"Wait for me while I clean up." Lao Zheng said.

"Yes." Xiao Ran agreed.

Take Lao Bai out of the room and wait in the yard.

"Brother Xiao, I still feel uneasy." Lao Bai expressed his worries.

Xiao Ran shook his head and looked at the sky, "There are some things that he needs to deal with on his own."

"I understand." Lao Bai said.

After a while.

Lao Zheng walked out of the house, the mess disappeared, and his clothes were changed. Although they were old, they were very neat. His hair was combed smoothly, **** with a strip of cloth, and floating casually behind him.

Stop in front of the two of them and smile slightly.

"Don't you recognize me?"

Lao Bai smiled and hit him on the chest, "Are you ready?"

"So what if it's good? So what if it's not good? This person has to look forward after all." Old Zheng said.

"Just figure it out." Xiao Ran patted him on the shoulder.

Leave his place.

The three of them arrived at Chunfangyuan and met Xiao Zhou and the others.

"Why didn't you come until now?" Xiao Zhou asked.

Just when Lao Bai was about to tell what happened to Lao Zheng, Xiao Ran secretly pulled him and winked at him, telling him not to talk too much.

Following Xiao Zhou's words, "Let's chat for a while."

Enter the room.

Eight young and beautiful women were called.

Xiao Ran and Lao Zheng didn't ask for it, there were two for each of the four of them.

"Brother Xiao doesn't like this. He's been like this after playing so many times. We can understand. Lao Zheng, what's the matter with you today? Is it because they can't sleep a wink?" Xiao Zhou was surprised.

Old Zheng smiled freely: "I was ignorant before, but now I have figured it out. When you understand, you will naturally understand how good your father is."

"I'd better forget it! The deep forest is so big, how can you give up everything for a tree?" Xiao Zhou shook his head.

Drink and chat.

After thirty years of drinking and five flavors of food, Xiao Zhou stood up first and said, "I'll go in first."

He smiled and hugged the two women and entered the room next to him.

Shen Yiming asked too much, "Is everything really okay?"

Xiao Ran shook his head, and he didn't ask any more questions. With their relationship, Xiao Ran would naturally tell him if something happened.

When they left, only Xiao Ran and Lao Zheng were left in the room.

Take the wine bottle and pour him a glass.

"Need my help?"

Old Zheng drank the wine in one gulp and shook his head fiercely, "No! I want to solve this matter myself."

"What are you going to do?"

Looking in the direction of the border gate, Lao Zheng's eyes flashed.

"I'm going to join the army!"

"This is not a way out." Xiao Ran nodded.

Took out two books of exercises and handed them over. One was a book of exercises and the other was a natural method, both of which were of heaven level.

"I can't have it!" Lao Zheng was horrified.

He shook his head solemnly and handed the thing over.

"Accept me as your friend."

It was no joke to meet Xiao Ran. Lao Zheng understood his character and it was difficult to change his decision.

"Brother Xiao..."

Xiao Ran interrupted him, "Don't worry, mother-in-law, you are a grown man, this will only make others look down on you."

"Yes." Lao Zheng wiped away the tears.

"When will you leave?"

"Leave tonight."

"Be careful on the road. When you and I are reunited, I want you to be glorious and arrogant. Remember, if a young man is not arrogant, he will not be a young man in vain." Xiao Ran said.

"There will be a day." Lao Zheng said.

Finish your drink.

Xiao Ran sent him away, looked at his disappearing back, squinted his eyes, and looked at the residence of the Minister of Punishment.

Old Zheng didn’t mention anything, but he couldn’t do nothing.

Even if he threatens a minister of the Ministry of Justice, this matter is very dangerous and will cause a lot of trouble if exposed, and he will not look back.

Don’t friends stand up for themselves in times of crisis?

A gust of night wind blew.

There is no trace of him at the same place.

The Minister of Punishment lives in Jinxiufang. His mansion is very large and very luxurious.

Given his status, the guards at home are very strong, and his own strength is not weak either.

Even Wensheng has some cultivation skills, which is inseparable from the fact that all the people in Daxia are martial arts.

"Is this right here?" Xiao Ran murmured.

Enter the courtyard.

Looking for his traces with soul power, he was soon found.

Use the art of transformation to change your appearance.

When we arrived at the study, there was a group of guards guarding the door. The leader of the guard was an eighth-level warrior of the Grand Master.

Stepping out of the darkness and walking towards the study openly.

The guards standing outside seemed to be held in place by a powerful force, maintaining their original appearance.

Passing by them, they still look the same.

Push open the door and enter the study.

In the room.

The Minister of Punishment is correcting documents, and the Punishment Ministry has a lot of things to do.

Some things can be pushed aside, and some things cannot be pushed away. They must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he put down his pen, looked unhappy, and looked outside coldly. He wanted to see who broke in while he was working.

A burly man, wearing a black suit, walked in coldly and stopped opposite him.

The pupils of the Minister of Punishment shrank.

The palace is heavily guarded, and the guards outside are also very strong.

But under such circumstances, the other party was able to sneak in silently, which shows that his strength is very terrifying.

I thought of this.

He felt a sudden thought, but kept his composure on his face, "What do you want to do?"

"Zheng Lin." Xiao Ran said a name.

Zheng Lin is Lao Zheng’s name.

Bang!

The Minister of Punishment could no longer hold his balance and fell from his chair to the ground.

"How does he know someone like you?"

"This is not something you should consider." Xiao Ran said.

As soon as he stepped in front of him, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice took out an angry hand and slapped his palm sharply. However, when his palm reached Xiao Ran, he found it difficult to make an inch.

It was as if there was a big mountain standing in front of him. No matter how hard he tried, he could not move.

Xiao Ran took action, grabbed his neck and lifted him up from the ground.

"How does death feel?"

"Even if you are in the Xuanzong realm! But if you run wild in the capital, you can't escape." The Minister of Punishment threatened.

"Want to bet?" Xiao Ran grinned.

The Minister of Punishment was silent. He didn't dare to gamble. After finally climbing to this high position, he didn't want to die.

After a while he spoke.

"I didn't kill him, nor did I do anything to him, I just taught him a simple lesson."

"He has left the capital. This is the end of the matter. I don't want to see you causing trouble for him again." Xiao Ran said his intention.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency! As long as he stops pestering my daughter, I will naturally not cause trouble for him again."

"That's best."

A palm strike struck him on the head, knocking him unconscious.

Leave here and return to Chunfangyuan again.

When the Minister of Punishment woke up, he checked and found that except for a slight headache, there was no injury. He rushed out in shock and anger, grabbed the leading guard and shouted: "Someone broke in just now, do you know?"

The guard commander shook his head in confusion, "Master, did you remember correctly? We have been guarding here. Not even a human, not even a fly, can fly in."

"Trash!" the Minister of Punishment scolded.

Walking around in place with his hands behind his back.

It took him a while to make up his mind not to cause trouble for Zheng Lin any more.

This matter has come to an end, and I will not go to the Imperial Guards for help.

It's early morning.

Xiao Zhou and the others had enough fun and returned with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Seeing that Xiao Ran was the only one in the room, he looked puzzled and asked, "Where is Lao Zheng?"

"He has left." Xiao Ran said.

He simply told what happened.

After everyone listened, they all sighed.

Leave Chunfangyuan.

Xiao Zhou suddenly stopped and said seriously: "Brother Xiao, I won't go to your place."

Xiao Ranjing is waiting for the next chapter.

"Maybe my dad did the right thing."

"Aren't you afraid that he will break your legs?" Xiao Ran joked.

Xiao Zhou shook his head and said, "Lao Zheng's incident reminded me that I am totally unaware of my blessings despite my blessings."

"You can figure it out, which means you have grown up. Go back, admit your mistake to your father, and go on a blind date tomorrow. After all, you are his biological child, and he will not really break your legs. ”

"Yeah." Xiao Zhou left.

Back home.

After Xiao Ran washed up, he lay on the bed, took out the Qingxin Sutra and started reading it.

Every time you watch it, you will have a different feeling. Keep your mind calm and calm.

Half seen.

In the yard, a strong wind blew out of thin air.

A man in black appeared quietly outside the study under the cover of night.

Xiao Ran glanced calmly and then withdrew his gaze.

The other party took out a bamboo tube, pierced the window paper, and was about to blow smoke into it, when Jin Yi appeared behind him out of thin air and patted him on the shoulder.

The sudden movement startled him.

The man in black hurriedly looked up and saw a big man in golden armor, tall and majestic, without any emotion, staring at him indifferently, feeling frightened and angry, and punched Jin Yi in the chest with his backhand.

Bang!

Like hitting steel, the force coming from Jin Yi was so strong that it knocked him away.

Before he could get up from the ground, Jin Yi rushed in front of him and punched him in the chest, destroying his cultivation.

A huge force entered his body, causing him to scream in pain.

Grabbed him by his clothes, entered the room, and threw him to the ground.

"Who sent you?" Xiao Ran put down the Pure Heart Sutra.

"No one sent me here." The man in black denied.

"Dishonest." Xiao Ran said.

"I'm not lying to you! When I passed by here, I saw three courtyards connected together, which were very luxurious, so I got the wrong idea and wanted to do something and make a windfall."

"I hope you can say that again later."

Ten consecutive Tiannu Divine Fingers penetrated his body, and the severe pain was even more terrifying than killing him.

Rolling over and over on the ground, grabbing his own flesh and blood with his palms.

After a while.

Xiao Ran temporarily relieved his pain, "Will you continue to be tough?"

"I said!" said the man in black.

Take a few breaths, get up from the ground, look at the wall, calculate the distance, and slam into it after getting the result.

Bang!

His head was broken and he fell weakly to the ground.

"Dispose of his body." Xiao Ran ordered.

Jin Yi dragged his body away.

Xiao Ran's face was expressionless, who wanted to deal with him? What is their purpose?

I can’t figure it out, no clue at all.

Shaking his head, fortunately, he no longer consumes brain cells.

The Golden Book of Creation opened a page and showed two things, 300,000 proficiency levels and 30 years of martial arts cultivation.

"The rewards given by the Grand Master are becoming less and less."

Add 300,000 proficiency points to the Sword Element Book.

Attribute refresh.

Jian Yuan Bao Dian: A brief introduction.

Martial arts is still 150 years away from breaking through to the seventh level of the Xuanzong realm.

Turn off the lights and take a rest.

Zhou Mansion.

After Chunfangyuan left, Xiao Zhou returned home embarrassed and uneasy.

Looking at the door that was so close, and the guards guarding both sides, my heart skipped a beat, and I walked out of the darkness bravely.

A guard looked at his young master with sharp eyes and rubbed his eyes suspiciously.

Confirming that he had read correctly, it was really the young master, he took a step forward and rushed forward quickly.

Xiao Zhou didn't want to run away, even if the opponent rushed up, let him catch him.

But he shouted excitedly: "Come quickly! I caught the young master."

"..." Xiao Zhou was speechless.

She glared at him fiercely, "Did you catch this young master?" It was obviously me who threw myself into the trap, right?

There was a lot of excitement.

The guards outside, including the guards in the mansion who heard the commotion, rushed out. The commotion was very loud and surrounded him.

Finally.

Xiao Zhou was "carried" to the study.

In the study.

Father Zhou held a chicken feather blanket, looked at the shivering little Zhou, and roared: "You son of a bitch, do you still have the nerve to come back?"

He rushed forward and beat him violently.

After a dozen times.

Father Zhou was surprised and looked puzzled: "Why don't you resist?"

"I was wrong." Xiao Zhou said simply.

Father Zhou was stunned and motioned for him to continue.

"I am so blessed that I ignore your good intentions and let you worry about me."

Looking at him.

Xiao Zhou said: "Father, please give me a good beating! Otherwise I will feel uncomfortable."

Father Zhou stretched out a hand and tested his forehead, "Weird! You don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense?"

Throw away the chicken feather blanket.

"Real or false?"

"Speaking from the bottom of my heart." Xiao Zhou said.

"How do you figure it out?"

Xiao Zhou poured two cups of tea, placed one cup in front of him, and briefly told what happened to Lao Zheng.

"Everyone has his own ambitions and his own ideas. You have done a good job." Father Zhou sighed.

"Brother Xiao is very nice to you, as well as Mr. Shen. It just so happens that you guys have been fine recently. I will hold a banquet at home tomorrow. You invite them over and thank them for taking care of you."

"Dad, do you know everything?" Xiao Zhou asked.

"Nonsense! Money is not everything, but money is absolutely impossible. You escaped from the capital and followed your brother Xiao to Chen County to perform a mission, and then to Qingzhou. Do you really think I know nothing?"

"Then why don't you send someone to capture me?"

"Young eagles can only truly grow by experiencing ups and downs. Dad can protect you for a while, but he can't protect you for a lifetime. The same goes for connections. You need to manage them with your own heart. Dad's connections are not suitable for you. When you are still alive, , others will give you a favor for the sake of dad. When dad leaves one day, and you are not strong enough, you will naturally not be able to inherit this network." Father Zhou teaches his son.

"Thank you, dad!" Xiao Zhou was happy.

"I helped calm you down on the woman's side. Now that you are back, the blind date must continue."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xiao Zhou did not refuse.

The father and son chatted for a while, and Xiao Zhou left after feeling sleepy.

Father Zhou stroked his beard and said happily: "This child has finally grown up."

A young woman, wearing a short yellow skirt, walked out of the darkness and sat down in front of him, "Isn't this a good thing?"

"Where is your sister?" Zhou's father asked.

"Sister is already asleep."

The woman pouted, "Brother-in-law, I've been in the capital for so many days. Can you let me go out for a walk?"

Father Zhou didn’t answer.

The woman said again: "Just for a moment, I promise to be back right away."

"Unless your sister nods, I won't dare to make this decision." Father Zhou was startled.

Escape from the study in a hurry.

The woman curled her lips and said, "Coward! Such a big man is actually afraid of his wife."

Xiao Zhou seemed to be at odds with Xiao Ran.

While Xiao Ran was still sleeping, this guy came knocking on the door.

"Brother Xiao, have you gotten up?"

Xiao Ran opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the door, wanting to beat him up.

Opening the door with a dark face, Xiao Zhou was about to speak when he saw Xiao Ran's expression was wrong and quickly backed away: "Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you?"

"Beat you!" Xiao Ran said.

I rushed up to him, held him down and gave him a good beating, which made my whole body feel better.

"What do you want from me this time?"

Xiao Zhou felt aggrieved and pouted: "My father is hosting a banquet at home and asked me to invite you and your Excellency over."

"Your father didn't break your dog's legs?" Xiao Ran was surprised.

"Hit, but not broken. Seeing that I reflected deeply and realized that I had gone astray, he warned me and the matter was over."

"After all, they are biological." Xiao Ran said.

"You go and notify the adults, I will be there later."

"Yeah." Xiao Zhou left.

Xiao Ran also left the mansion and walked towards the prison.

Arrived at Tianlao.

The captain happened to be busy, and the jailer pressed down the criminal and put him in the cell according to the documents.

Seeing Xiao Ran coming, the captain's eyes lit up and he greeted him enthusiastically, "Master Xiao, you are here!"

"Come and take a look." Xiao Ran said.

"You're here at the right time. I have something to ask you. If you don't come here, there's nothing I can do."

Hand over a document.

Taking the document, Xiao Ran opened it and read it.

The document requires that the fish beast imprisoned in purgatory be dealt with, and every fish scale on its body must be removed, and the fish skin must be kept intact.

Ordinary demons do not need Xiao Ran to take action.

But it is different in purgatory. The demons imprisoned there are at the lowest level of the Grand Master level. The deeper the demons are imprisoned, the stronger they become.

And this fish beast is at the second level of Xuanzong realm.

Close the document.

"I know." Xiao Ran said.

Taking the Xuan Kong Bag, he walked toward Purgatory with the torture tools.

Here we are.

Say hello to the eldest princess and stop at Cell No. 103.

A fish demon tens of feet tall, with a purple-red body and a vertical eye between its eyebrows. A terrifying demonic aura erupted from its body.

Looking at Xiao Ran standing outside the door and the torture instrument in his hand, he glanced at him indifferently, "Are you going to send me on my way so soon?"

"You are quite smart." Xiao Ran said.

Opened the cell door and walked in.

"I know you. Your name seems to be Xiao Ran, and you are responsible for matters in purgatory."

"What do you want to say?"

The fish demon smiled evilly, and a strong fishy smell came from its body. Xiao Ran was disgusted and took a step back.

"I know that this day will come sooner or later. I have been preparing for this day. If the imperial court sends a great master, I may not be able to do anything."

Having said this, the fish demon was proud.

"But after observing these days, I have discovered a pattern. Unless you are not here, executions will be handled by you. And you are only at the second level of the Grandmaster Realm."

"What then?" Xiao Ran asked.

"As long as I kill you, I will be able to get out of trouble. From now on, the sky is high and the fish can fly, and the sea is wide and I can swim. If I hide in the deep sea, the court will never think of catching me again." Fish Demon Tuqiong Dagger see.

"The idea is good, but the cruelty of reality is far from being as simple as you think." Xiao Ran shook his head.

"Really?" The fish demon smiled noncommittally.

"Because of this third eye?"

The fish demon was horrified, and his expression changed drastically: "How did you know?"

"Your Pipa bone is sealed, and the demonic power cannot be used. And from this vertical eye, I feel a wave of pure demonic power, which should be related to your innate magical power." Xiao Ran said.

"You discovered it, but it doesn't matter, you are going to die anyway."

Opening his eyes vertically, a gray light shot out and hit Xiao Ran's head.

"The frog in the well." Xiao Ran said.

The body surface shook, and the body-protecting golden light rushed out, roughly crushing the gray light.

Step forward.

Punched it on the head with a huge force, smashing its head on the spot, and it was so dead that it couldn't die anymore.

"How dare I be on duty in purgatory without any skills?" Xiao Ran said.

Opening a page of the Golden Book of Creation shows three things, one million proficiency levels, one hundred years of soul cultivation, and the Divine Stone of Creation.

Add one million proficiency points to Tian Jue Sword Technique.

Attribute refresh.

Tian Jue Sword Technique: Perfect.

The spiritual master’s cultivation level is still 380 years away from breaking through.

The Divine Stone of Creation: It has a trace of the power of creation and has many uses.

Pull out the instruments of torture and begin the execution.

Remove all its fish scales, and then cut off its fish skin completely.

Put it into the Xuan Kong bag when you are done.

Passing by Taoist Master Xuanyang, he called out to Xiao Ran, "Sir, please wait a moment!"

Xiao Ran stopped and looked at him in confusion.

"Sir, can you come in and talk?"

Opening the cell, Xiao Ran walked in.

"What do you want to say?"

"Sir, save me! Someone wants to kill Pindao." Taoist Master Xuanyang asked for help.

"This is purgatory, very safe. No one can kill you unless ordered by the court." Xiao Ran said.

"You don't know their methods. If they want to kill me, there are at least a dozen ways."

"Who wants to kill you?"

"Shangqing Palace!" Taoist Xuanyang said.

"How did you know?" Xiao Ran asked.

"Pindao has left a back-up in the Shangqing Palace. Whenever they deal with me, the internal response they arrange will use a secret method to notify me. By then, Pindao's heart will beat very fast. If the secret method is used three times in a row, he will feel sick all over his body. Peace, blood flow speeds up."

"Why are they staring at you?"

"All things and the universe! This is a magical power cultivated by palace masters in the past, but it was stolen by Pindao. This matter is of great importance. Once leaked, it will shake the foundation of Shangqing Palace." Taoist Master Xuanyang explained.

"Have they arrived in the capital yet?" Xiao Ran asked.

"It should be here."

"It's not impossible for me to save you. It depends on whether you are worth it." Xiao Ran said.

Taoist Master Xuanyang was silent.

"Come to me after you think about it."

Throw a few words, lock the door and leave.

After leaving the Tianlao, he rushed to the Zhou Mansion according to the address given by Xiao Zhou.

It’s still half an hour before noon, so I’m not too late.

The leading guard asked: "Are you Mr. Xiao Ranxiao?"

"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded.

"The master has already given instructions. When you arrive, I will take you to the hall."

Follow him and enter the Zhou Mansion.

It has four entrances and four exits, covering a large area and the scenery in Fuzhong is also very good.

The flowers and plants are lush and full of vitality.

When he arrived at the lobby, Xiao Zhou's eyes lit up and he ran over quickly: "Brother Xiao!"

The guards retreat.

Stop in front of Xiao Ran, "Why are you here?"

"I went to the Heavenly Prison." Xiao Ran said.

"You are so dedicated." Xiao Zhou said.

Enter the hall.

Shen Yiming has arrived. Father Zhou stood up from his chair and proactively greeted: "Here we come."

"Yes." Xiao Ran responded with a smile.

An introduction.

Zhou's father's name is Zhou Tongyuan. He is fat and looks quite young.

Besides him, there is a woman named Shen Lu, Xiao Zhou's sister-in-law, who is about the same age as him.

After the pleasantries.

Father Zhou said enthusiastically: "Do you mind if I call you Brother Xiao?"

Xiao Zhou was unhappy, "You and Brother Xiao are brothers, what should I do?"

"Your name is uncle." Zhou's father glared at him fiercely.

Xiao Zhou complained softly, feeling dissatisfied but not daring to resist.

Sitting on the edge like a curious baby, watching them chat.

At this time.

Shen Lu suddenly said, "Brother Xiao, are you married?"

Xiao Ran was stunned and secretly said, is their family addicted to dating? Are you going to introduce me to a marriage?

Xiao Zhou answered: "Not yet! Brother Xiao is still single. He is a diamond king. He bought nineteen houses in Jingwenfang in one go, and even Xiaolong Lake was bought. ”

"You have the right to speak, sir?" Zhou's father scolded.

Xiao Zhou shrank his neck and acted like an ostrich again.

Shen Lu asked again: "You are in such good conditions, why are you still single?"

"I'm busy with work and never have time." Xiao Ran explained casually.

"That's true." Shen Lu nodded.

Then he released a bomb, and a pair of big watery eyes landed on Xiao Ran, "What do you think of me?"
