Super System in the Early Tang Dynasty

Li Xingzhi moved his foot, and a pebble hit the corpse. Suddenly, a small black shadow emerged from under the corpse and disappeared in a flash.

Watching the departing dark figure, Li Xingzhi's heart stirred. He turned to Wang Xiucai and said, "You all go first, I have something to do!" Without waiting for Wang Xiucai's question, he jumped onto the wall and disappeared without a trace, much to the astonishment of the servants.

Wang Xiucai watched Li Xingzhi's departing figure, sighed helplessly, called his servants, and hurriedly took a shortcut to Li's residence!

At this time, the situation in the county government office in Tanzhou City was also changing rapidly!

Wang, the registrar, sat leisurely sipping his tea. Magistrate Cui, seated in the middle, was furious, his face flushed red, and the stack of papers in his hand trembled slightly.

"This, this, this is utterly absurd!"

This morning, Magistrate Cui, who was leisurely reviewing official documents in the county office because the ugly county magistrate hadn't come to cause him any trouble, was startled by a stack of petitions handed to him by Registrar Wang! The petitions were full of crimes committed by the ugly county magistrate and his son over the years, from human trafficking to rape, murder, embezzlement, and even possession of heavy weapons. They were all heinous crimes, too numerous to list!

Magistrate Cui glanced thoughtfully at Registrar Wang, then, suppressing his anger, began to read the petition. Everything on it was recorded in extreme detail, as if he had witnessed it firsthand. He had clearly been preparing for this for a long time!

If Li Xingzhi were to see this Wang the Registrar, he would likely be quite surprised. Isn't that the lean, middle-aged man he saw at the old clan chief's house in Wangjia Village? He's the third son of Wang Ermazi!

In fact, within this county government office, in terms of actual power, Wang Laosan, the registrar, held more power than Chou, the county magistrate. However, because Chou was involved in many powerful connections and had a group of assassins and henchmen in private, Wang Laosan had always kept quiet and the two had a tacit understanding to keep to themselves.

Although he knew about the feud between Li Xingzhi and the ugly county magistrate, and was also aware of the ugly county magistrate's vindictive nature, he had never reminded Li Xingzhi of it.

After all, his relationship with Li Xingzhi, or rather, with Wangjia Village, wasn't serious enough to warrant such intervention. Li Xingzhi was just a lucky, somewhat arrogant young man; he wasn't worth such a fuss! Even if he admired Li Xingzhi somewhat.

Only now, with Li Xingzhi's potato yield reaching fifty shi per mu, has he finally made up his mind to go all in! He's staked all his accumulated wealth on Li Xingzhi! He's prepared to be bitten hard by the ugly county magistrate! Even if it means losing his official hat, he's willing to pay the price!

Therefore, upon hearing the news of Li Xingzhi's massacre at the Chou family's residence, besides being shocked, he was also thinking about how to protect Li Xingzhi! Fortunately, the head of Wuhoupu in Chang'an Ward, where the Chou family was located, was his confidant. Under his instructions, Wang Xiucai and the others were able to retreat calmly!

Otherwise, the dozens of strong men who were rampaging through Tanzhou City would have been intercepted long ago.

Li Xingzhi entered the ugly mansion again. The overwhelming stench of blood made him uncomfortable, and the severed limbs and dismembered heads he saw from time to time made him frown.

He couldn't care less about the pungent smells now. With a thought, a white-haired, golden-topped rat appeared in his hand.

Little Jin was enjoying a sauna in the spiritual spring within his cave, humming and muttering to himself. Suddenly, the environment shifted; the soothing spring vanished, replaced by a pungent, metallic smell of blood!

The little mouse sneezed loudly several times, feeling quite dissatisfied. Just as it was about to stand up and argue with its little master, it noticed that its master was covered in blood and looked rather frightening!

He knew that his master had probably brought him out for a serious reason, so he didn't dare to cause trouble and just looked at his young master with a puzzled expression.

"Xiao Jin, can you gather all the rats here?" Li Xingzhi asked uncertainly, recalling the incident in Wangjia Village.

Upon hearing this, the little mouse let out three sharp screechs, and instantly, the area within a kilometer radius erupted in chaos! Countless mice scurried out of their holes, cracks in the walls, and along the beams, all running in one direction! They seemed unafraid of the enormous humanoid creatures around them, and countless mice surged onto the street, forcing pedestrians to scatter!

Everyone in the city who saw the swarms of rats became uneasy, thinking that rat demons were causing trouble. They all rushed to temples and Taoist monasteries to pray to the gods and Buddhas! The more timid ones even knelt down on the ground, shouting "Great King!" and "Great God!" Strangely enough, although rats crawled all over the people kneeling in the street, none of them harmed anyone!

As the sun set, the city of Tanzhou, which had gradually quieted down, was once again in an uproar!

Countless rats had already gathered beside the altar in the backyard of the Chou family, and the few in front of them seemed to be no smaller than a typical big cat!

Although Li Xingzhi had prepared in advance, seeing so many rats appear in such large numbers still made him feel uneasy! A chill ran up his spine from his tailbone straight to his head!

If these rats swarm him, he will have no choice but to escape into the space to save his life!

He looked at the little mouse in his hand and realized that Little Jin was now standing tall and solemn, exuding a kind of majesty in the golden sunset!

"Xiao Jin, have them search around here for any tunnels," Li Xingzhi said to Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin chirped something to the largest rats, and then the rats repeated Xiao Jin's words to the others. At this point, all the rats scattered quickly, just as they had come, leaving only the large rats guarding Li Xingzhi like sentinels.

At this moment, inside the ugly mansion, the ground was almost entirely covered with rats, like a gray carpet! The carpet rose and fell, as if a huge monster was hiding beneath it! Li Xingzhi was startled by the sight!

Before long, several rats came over and squeaked something to the large rats. The large rats then stood up and squeaked loudly, as if reporting to Xiao Jin.

After listening for a moment, Xiao Jin suddenly jumped down from Li Xingzhi's grasp, glanced back at him as if urging him to follow. Then, it ran forward through the passage opened up by the rats, with Li Xingzhi close behind, several large rats protecting Xiao Jin in the middle!
