"Now, come with us!" said the leading officer.

Cen Gan sent a message to the others: "Don't resist, just follow him."

Several people followed the officers obediently.

Cen Gan thought: I hope they can take them to the mine as expected.

The officers symbolically took them to a simple yamen, asked them a few simple questions, and then sentenced them to ten years of mining.

They were then searched, but nothing was found on them.

The officers took them to a teleportation square, cursing at them.

An officer said happily: "We are lucky this time. We have gathered 100 people so quickly. We can start the battle formation when the elders come."

Another officer said, "I heard from my brothers working at Lingtian Palace that if they catch anyone, they will sentence them to at least 100 years of mining."

"It's mainly because it's so difficult to catch people now. Not many people can catch them."

"No, I heard that if you enter Lingtian Palace and don't behave well, you have to go mining."

"Stop talking. It's not okay for Lord Hou to work as an official now. It doesn't matter. Even if you can't recruit people, you have to go mining."

"I'm not afraid. My aunt is an elder in Lingtian Palace, and my uncle is in charge of Hou Mansion."

……

Cen Gan listened to their random chatter, then looked carefully at the crowd.

Most of these people were spiritual masters, and they had shackles on their feet, so they couldn't run away at all.

Cen Gan and his friends also wore them, but they didn’t take it seriously at all, after all, they had the super foodie Xiao Wu.

After a group of people waited for a while, a white-haired old man with the cultivation level of a Spiritual Emperor came, and several servants saluted respectfully: "Elder Zhu."

Elder Zhu counted the number of people and said happily, "You have performed very well this time. I will send them to the mine and you will receive rewards every month. Remember how many numbers each of you has caught."

Only then did Cen Gan discover that each person's handcuffs had a number on them.

No wonder these officers work so hard to catch people. Every time they catch one, they record the number and get a reward every month. Of course they are very motivated.

Those people flattered Elder Zhu again before activating the teleportation array.

Except for Elder Zhu, these people had no idea where they would be teleported to, and despair was revealed in many people's eyes.

At this time, the disciples of Lingtian Palace arrived in Beizhou City and posted wanted notices and rewards throughout the city.

In less than half a day, someone reported to the disciples of Lingtian Palace that he knew the man on the wanted list, and that several people reported him.

Therefore, the disciples of Lingtian Palace brought all the people to Lingtian Palace, and they were interrogated by the Palace Master himself.

Zhou Shicheng looked at the group of people who came to claim the reward. In order to prevent them from colluding, he separated them all and described each person's appearance, deeds, family...

It turned out that there really was a ruffian in this Northern Zhou city, and he looked exactly like the person that Cen Gan transformed into.

This ruffian is called Houyan. Just like his name, he is a shameless person who loves to flirt with other women.

But his mother was Hou Ling'er, one of the most beautiful women in Beizhou City.

Zhou Shicheng actually coveted Hou Ling'er, but Hou Ling'er was a member of the Hou family after all, and Zhou Shicheng was also very busy as the master of a palace. Most importantly, he still had to save some face.

The reason why Zhou Shicheng believed that he had the audacity to kill Zhou Qinru was not because of her appearance, but because these witnesses all mentioned the same thing, that is, Zhou Shicheng was lustful and hated women crying the most.

He once raped a woman in the street, and after the rape, he killed her because she was crying in the street. He said, "I hate women crying the most."

Zhou Shicheng was filled with hatred, as if he had seen someone brazenly doing something shameful to her daughter. Just because his daughter cried, he shot an arrow to death, leaving no trace of her body.

Then, Zhou Shicheng thought of his chubby mother, Hou Ling'er. Now he finally had a legitimate reason to be a disciple.

Don’t you hate women crying? I’ll let you watch a woman cry! Zhou Shicheng thought.

"Someone come!" Zhou Shicheng ordered, "Go and get Hou Ling'er and her son here for me."

Several disciples took orders and went directly to where Hou Ling'er and her son lived.

Although Hou Ling'er was a member of the Hou family, she gave birth to Hou Yan out of wedlock. She was not welcomed in the Hou family, but the head of the Hou family, Hou De, was kind and gave her a separate courtyard, where she and her son usually lived.

Although he has left the Hou family, Hou Yan still regards himself as the young master of the Hou family, bullying men and women and doing all kinds of evil.

When people from Lingtian Palace arrived, the mother and son were still sleeping.

Without thinking too much, I just followed them to Lingtian Palace.

Zhou Shicheng looked at Houyan and found that she was exactly the same as in the photo. He then showed Zhou Qinru's portrait to Houyan and said:

"You shameless fellow, look carefully. Do you know the girl in the portrait?"

He looked at Zhou Qinru's portrait shamelessly and shook his head, "I don't know her."

Zhou Shicheng continued to ask: "Have you ever bullied her?"

He asked shamelessly, "What kind of bullying are you talking about? Or playing with me?"

Zhou Shicheng was furious when he heard this, but he looked at the stunning Hou Ling'er beside him and said, "Then tell me whether you played with her or not?"

He looked at her for a long time and said, "I've played with so many women, how can I remember them all?"

Zhou Shicheng slapped Houyan to the ground and cursed, "You little bastard, don't you remember what happened this morning?"

Hou Yan was always arrogant. After being beaten, he did not restrain himself. Instead, he became even more arrogant and said, "I won't recognize you after I pull up my pants. Not to mention this morning, I didn't recognize you just now!"

Seeing Houyan being so arrogant, Zhou Shicheng was even more certain that Houyan was the murderer of Zhou Qinru, and said to Houyan: "Don't you hate women crying the most? Do you believe it? I will let your mother cry in front of you now?"

He said brazenly and stubbornly: "Kill me if you can!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Hou Ling'er hurriedly said, "Palace Master Zhou, is there any misunderstanding here? My son came back from outside early this morning and has been sleeping at home."

After hearing what Hou Ling'er said, Zhou Shicheng became more certain of his guess. Zhou Qinru also died in the morning, and he happened to have just returned in the morning. He must have killed Zhou Qinru.

Considering that the Hou family has someone above them, he didn't dare to kill Hou Ling'er and her son, but he would still dare to do it as long as it didn't endanger their lives.

Zhou Shicheng stared at Hou Ling'er, looking her up and down, and then said to the disciples around him: "All of you go out."

All the disciples around went out, and only Houde, his mother and Zhou Shicheng were left in the hall.

Zhou Shicheng sealed the Dantian of the two people and looked at Hou Ling'er with a lewd smile. Hou Ling'er looked at Zhou Shicheng in horror and asked, "What do you want to do?"
