The dilapidated and mottled low earthen house, the black pot bottom on the firewood stove, chickens, ducks, geese and dogs scurried on the road unscrupulously. As far as the eye can see, the piles of mud and sand appear desolate.

Standing in front of such a village, Jiang Beiran frowned.

The reason for his frown is not because of desolation, because even if he implements a large number of new decrees, it will not take effect so quickly. The desolation of the countryside cannot be completely changed in a short time.

The reason why he frowned was because there were hardly any males in the village. In broad daylight, there were only a few old women working in the farmland.

This kind of sight was seen a lot before Jiang Beiran's "Private Conquest". Many places were like a daughter country, and there was no man to be seen.

But after he started patrolling, this kind of situation has become rare. Even if most officials do, they will put some males in the village, like this "daughter village", he has not seen it for a while. Up.

At this time, Deng Xianghan stepped forward and said: "The emperor, I'm afraid here..."

"No words." Jiang Beiran reached out and stopped Deng Xianghan.

Jiang Beiran knew what Deng Xianghan was going to say. Under such circumstances, he dared to ignore the new policy so blatantly. It is very likely that there is a sect or demon sect as the backing. If he enters, there will inevitably be conflicts.

But Jiang Beiran, the Zongmen site, has to be touched sooner or later, it's just a matter of sooner or later, and now it's hit, it doesn't hurt to go in and take a look.

Anyway, the system did not jump to the prompt.

Taking Deng Xianghan and the others into the village, the children who were playing on the side of the road saw Jiangbei and immediately did a bird and beast dispersal, as if they had seen a beast.

Then several women who had been chatting hurriedly ran back to their homes and slammed the door firmly.

Seeing this, Jiang Beiran's brows were another clump. Now he ordered people to post news about his inspections of counties and counties everywhere. Everywhere he went, the villagers were looking forward to it, waiting for his holy admiral to bring them hope.

But this village seems to have never seen such a notice. When you see the luxuriously dressed, you feel that it is going to harm them.

"Guri's beast! I dare to come to our village to harm the villagers! Lao Tzu fights with you!"

Just when Jiang Beiran was going to find the village chief or the security chief, a farmer suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air. After swearing, he picked up a pitchfork and stabbed him.

But the pitchfork penetrated his chest like a phantom.

"Oh Huh? Is this the spirit body?"

It was the first time Jiang Beiran encountered such a ghost since he obtained the [psychic] point, and it was quite novel.

‘It seems that the role of channeling is indeed to communicate with the soul. ’

Wanting to understand this, Jiang Beiran turned around and said to Deng Xianghan and the others: "You can go and see everywhere in the village. If there are poor people, please help."

"According to the purpose."

When the three daughters left, Jiang Beiran looked at the farmer in the soul state and said, "Do you know you are dead?"

"Of course I knew that I was dead, but I wouldn't let go if I was a ghost... Huh!? You can see me!?" The farmer shouted in horror.

"Well, you can see clearly."

"Human!!!"

The scared farmer ran away like crazy.

"Obviously you were bluffing just now... really cowardly."

Without chasing the ghost, Jiang Beiran wandered around the village.

The basic facilities of the village are complete. There is a pond in front of the door, rice fields and vegetable fields behind the door, and a courtyard outside the house with fruit trees in the courtyard.

But it is a pity that the ponds are completely dry, the rice fields and vegetable fields are also barren, and there are a few good fruit trees, but most of them are already bare.

"Hey, this is too desolate." Jiang Beiran sighed.

"It's not your dog officer!"

Looking back, I saw that the farmer who scared away just now ran back, and Chao Jiang Beiran, who was hiding far away, shouted.

"Aren't you running away?"

The farmer shook his neck and replied: "I'm already dead anyway! You still have the ability to make me die again!"

"That's not true." Jiang Beiran replied.

"What are you doing in the village! The valuable things in the village have been robbed long ago, what else do you want to do!?"

"Haven't your village posted a notice of the emperor's inspection of counties?"

"Notice? I don't understand that stuff, let's see what it does."

Just when Jiang Beiran was about to ask something, an old woman suddenly followed Mu Yao over, and when she saw Jiang Beiran, she knelt down immediately.

"The emperor! You show mercy and save me, you really can't live anymore."

Jiang Beiran hurriedly stepped forward to help her aunt and said, "Auntie, if you have something to say slowly, I will help you solve it."

"Oh! God has opened his eyes, the emperor, the men in our village have been taken away, and there are women who can't do anything. Seeing that the spring ploughing is going to pass, the fields are still deserted."

"Who took the male from the village?"

"I don’t know! Last year, a group of murderers suddenly came to the village. They rushed in and arrested my son. I chased them out and wanted to get my son back, but the murderers were very evil. Who! In the end we had no choice but to watch all the men in the village being arrested by them."

'Do not you know……'

While they were talking, more women and old women ran over and knelt in a circle around Jiang Beiran, crying.

Among the crowd, Deng Xianghan walked up to Jiang Beiran and said: "The emperor, we have sent some food to these villagers. They all know that you are here to rescue them."

For a while, Jiang Beiran, who had never seen this battle, asked Mu Yao and the others to lift up the villagers, and then inquired one by one, and found that they did not know where their man or son was arrested.

"What about your village chief?" Jiang Beiran asked.

Upon hearing this question, the villagers were silent for a while, and the last woman replied: "The village chief...the village chief was beaten to death when he stopped those wicked people."

‘Oh, it’s a pity a good village chief. ’

Just as Jiang Beiran was thinking about where to start the investigation, the farmer in the soul state cautiously approached Jiang Beiran and said, "You are the emperor? The emperor who governs the people of the world?"

During the exchange just now, Jiang Beiran realized that he could communicate with this ghost with his spiritual power, so he nodded directly and replied with spiritual power: "It's like a fake."

"Didn't the emperor know to let my farmers pay taxes all day long! Why did you even come here to deliver food?"

"The emperor has changed. I don't want you to pay taxes. I want you to eat."

"Change the emperor? It's okay! The emperor in front knows that he wants our money. You don't want our money, but you give it back to us. You must be a good emperor! I gave you a kowtow!"

The farmer bowed his head as he said, knocking a dozen heads in one breath.

"Don't knock, I can't hear you knocking like this."

"The emperor, then you go and get my son back! I will let him give you a knock, guaranteed to ring!"

"Your son? You know who took the men from the village?"

"Of course I know! We were all arrested together."

"Then can you find them now?"

"Yes! Of course! I came back from there, so I wanted to go back to the village and take a look at my mother-in-law."

"Okay, you will lead the way, and I will get your son back."

"Thank you, the emperor! Thank you, the emperor! You are such a good man, the emperor! I will take you there!"

After leaving some food for the villagers, Jiang Beiran took Mu Yao and the others out of the village and followed the farmer to the west.

"The emperor, where are we going?" Mu Yao asked curiously.

"Go to the men in the village."

"The emperor, you already know where they are!?"

Mu Yao looked astonished. It was obvious that they were listening to the same group of villagers, but the emperor already knew where all the men in the village had gone! ?

‘Is this the gap between me and the emperor? ’

Deng Xianghan was also very surprised. She really couldn't think of any sentence in those words that could tell where the man in the village went.

Only Kong Qianqian's face was taken for granted, after all, she had always thought that there was nothing the emperor could not do in this world.

Walking on the road, Jiang Beiran looked at the farmer and asked, "Why did you get caught?"

"Oh." The farmer sighed, "Digging a stone! I dig it day and night, and I don't know what the name of the stone is, it's green and it shines."

‘Spirit Stone? Hearing the farmer’s description, Jiang Beiran suddenly understood what he was talking about.

The farmer who recalled this opened the chatterbox and sighed again and again, "Oh, that mine is difficult to dig! You may not be able to dig a piece after digging for a few days. If you can’t dig the mine, the evil people will only give me some Drinking gruel, or it's just a bun like a stone, many people are exhausted because of their health."

Hearing this paragraph, Jiang Beiran suddenly recalled his experience when he was deceived into the black kiln. At that time, he really had better life than death. If there was not the hope of a system, he estimated that he would not be able to escape. That day.

Just talked and walked over two mountains. The farmer who was complaining suddenly pointed to the front and said, "The emperor! That's it! The men in our village are there!"

Jiang Beiran looked at the place pointed by the farmer, and it was indeed a minefield.

Mu Yao, who followed silently all the way, saw that the emperor really found a place, and was shocked again for a while, completely wondering how the emperor did it.

Using mental energy to sense the mine, Jiang Beiran found that there was a cultivator in it. Although it was only a Qi-training level, it meant that the mine did have a sect background.

At the moment when he entered the mine, Jiang Beiran sensed the large mountain guard formation that was running, and easily cracked the large formation. Jiang Beiran and his party walked into the mine.

At the gate of the mine, a guard was taken aback when he saw Jiang Beiran and his party swaggering in, and then immediately stood up and planned to scold a few words, but when he saw Jiang Beiran's gorgeous clothes, he suddenly changed his words for fear that he might provoke a big person : "What are you doing here?"

Jiang Beiran glanced at the man's guard and said, "Call out your supervisor."

The guard frowned and felt that the person who came was unkind, "We have gone out to take care of our affairs. Tell me if you have anything to do."

Too lazy to talk with him, Jiang Beiran directly shouted: "Mu Yao."

Mu Yao, who had cooperated several times, directly pulled out the Shuanghua Sword King and slammed on the rock!

Just hearing a "boom", the huge rocks instantly collapsed into fragments and rolled down the mountain.

The guard instantly understood that the person was a cultivator, and immediately said, "Three, please wait a moment, I'm going to find the manager." After speaking, he turned his head and ran into the mine.

After a while, a figure walked towards them quickly, looking like an expert from the looks of their clothes.

When he arrived in front of Jiang Beiran, the man folded his hands and said, "Under the Thunder Sect disciple Tao Yingfa, I don't know why some mysterious friends are here?"

‘Thunder Sect...’

Jiang Beiran knew this sect, and the master was a powerhouse at the Xuanwang level, and he was considered the more famous sect in Hezhi County.

"I ask you, where did the workers in your mine come from."

'I! ? ’

Hearing Jiang Beiran's claim, Tao Yingfa instantly understood that these people in front of him were here to smash the scene.

Because he had already heard that the new emperor of Shengguo was patrolling around and posted notices everywhere.

Knowing that the visitor was the one who smashed the place, Tao Yingfa was no longer polite, and said proudly: "What is the new emperor of Shengguo? Tell you, don't use chicken feathers as the arrow, when will the court be in charge of the sect?"

"I really don't care about the sect, but I have to take care of the people of Shengguo. You are all males from the village in this mine, right?"

"So what! If you have the ability, you can talk to our suzerain."

"Okay, then I'll go to Sect Master Tang and talk about it~lightnovelpub.net~ Seeing Jiang Beiran turned around and left, watching him look like he was really going to find Sect Master, Tao Yingfa stepped forward and shouted: "Hey! and many more! "

"What else?" Jiang Beiran asked back.

"I'm telling you, the imperial court against the sect never ends well, you have to think clearly!"

"Heh," Jiang Beiran laughed, "it will be there later."

After speaking, he walked down the mountain.

"Hey! You are really toasting and not eating fine wine!" Tao Ying rushed forward and stopped in front of Jiang Beiran.

When he was about to draw his sword, he was startled by the profound energy emanating from Mu Yaosuo beside Jiang Beiran.

‘When will the emperor use cultivators as guards! ? ’

Tao Ying murmured in her heart, seeing that the hard ones are not good, but the soft ones, "I see such a small matter, don't disturb the old man of the lord, I will take a few people to sit in my house, as long as my father agrees to this matter, you You can take away all the villagers here."

As soon as Tao Ying finished speaking, Jiang Beiran jumped out of two options.

[Option 1: Still go to Sect Master Thunder. Completion reward: Wuheng Jian Gong (Xuan-level top grade)]

[Option 2: Agree to Tao Yingfa's suggestion. Completion reward: random basic attribute point 1]

'Oh? It seems that attacking the suzerain directly is likely to cause too many chain reactions. ’

After choosing two, Jiang Beiran said, "Okay, please lead the way."

[Option task has been completed, reward: Strength 1]

Seeing Jiang Beiran promised so readily, Tao Yingfa smiled secretly in her heart: ‘Hmph, I see how crazy you are when you get to my site! ’
