Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

The first meeting between the two sides was quite pleasant. Meng Zhao and Zhao Ruling stayed temporarily in a small courtyard in the City Lord's Mansion. When Zhou Jiankang identified the traitor forces in Sifang City and found 500 trustworthy people, they would return together.

During this period, they were just passers-by in Sifang City, and at most they would provide assistance when Sifang City encountered any difficult opponents.

The two also took this opportunity to take a good walk in Sifang City.

Zhou Jiankang quickly summoned the heads of the Zhou, Fu, and Zhang families in the name of the City Lord to come to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss matters.

Zhou Yuanming, the head of the Zhou family, Fu Yanqing, the head of the Fu family, and Zhang Baiyu, the head of the Zhang family, are all great masters, and they are also the characters in their clans who have the final say.

The three of them even rarely take charge of family affairs. Most of the time, they are in seclusion and practicing, looking for inspiration to enter the Supreme Heavenly Man. After all, compared with worldly power, they are more eager for transcendence and progress in their own martial arts.

Only when a major event related to the life and death of Sifang City occurs, will they be called out to discuss a feasible method.

After receiving Zhou Jiankang's message, the three were also very surprised. After calling the people who assisted the family and asked if there was anything special happening recently, they were a little puzzled. Since Sifang City was fine, how could Zhou Jiankang dare to disturb their practice?

Therefore, when the three came to the City Lord's Mansion, their expressions were not very good and their faces were stiff.

Zhou Yuanming, the head of the Zhou family, has a look of about 40 years old, thick eyebrows and curved eyes, and a strange appearance. He is not very handsome, but he gives people a good sense of perception. The combination of his facial features gives people a sense of trust and stability. He is the most outstanding one among the three.

The head of the Fu family is not ugly, but he is fat and has a big belly like an eight-month pregnant woman. At first glance, he is just a cheerful local rich man. Not only can you not see the slightest dignity of the head of the family, even the domineering aura of the grandmaster is also invisibly washed away by this body shape.

Zhang Baiyu, the head of the Zhang family, has a normal appearance, but he is short and his bones look a little weak. At first glance, he is a warrior who is not good at physical fighting. Moreover, outside the body, there is a condensed aura that gathers all the time and does not disperse. He has a deep cultivation and is the best among the three.

Zhou Jiankang saw that the three heads of the family came together, and their expressions were not very good. He also knew the reason, so he apologized and confessed his guilt. Anyway, he was full of sincerity.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Although the three people's cultivation is higher than Zhou Jiankang, in terms of status, the patriarchs of the three major families and the invisible forces are also higher than the city lord, they have to give the city lord a certain respect, so they also take advantage of the situation.

Zhou Yuanming and Zhou Jiankang have a close relationship, they are cousins.

Therefore, he did not care about anything else and asked directly,

"Stop talking nonsense. Our three families have already decided that if there is no major event that will affect the life and death of Sifang City, there is no need to disturb our retreat. Today, you not only called me, but also the heads of the three families. You can tell me anything without any taboos."

Zhou Jiankang did not dare to hide anything and told Meng Zhao, Zhao Ruling and Bei Jun one by one, which was considered to be a detailed matter.

The three people frowned when they heard it. Bei Jun was okay, but he was a big boss in Sifang City. The heavenly cultivation was the realm they were tirelessly pursuing. Moreover, this person was also the patron saint of their Sifang City and had a high status.

As for Meng Zhao and Zhao Ruling, they had many complicated thoughts in their minds, especially Zhou Jiankang's words that Meng Zhao was willing to cooperate and pointed out that Sifang City might have been infiltrated by Beitang Sheng, which surprised the three.

The focus of the three people at this time was the traitor.

The external influence, that is, whether Meng Zhao cooperated or not, could be seen later, but whether there were traitors in the city, how many traitors there were, how many of them were sent by Beitang Sheng, and how many of them defected to the Hundred Clans, were all unknown.

But no matter which one it was, for Sifang City, traitors were cancer and must be eradicated, otherwise allowing them to grow would only lead to greater and greater hidden dangers in Sifang City until it was destroyed.

The three family heads were all people with broad minds, strategies, and foresight. Otherwise, they would directly hold the power of the city lord and the power of the family, and would not set up a rotation system for the city lord's mansion, nor would they hand over the power of the family to their assistants.

That is why they understand why Zhou Jiankang called them out in such a hurry.

"Jiankang, what do you want to do? I remember that the last time the city checked the household registration, there were roughly 270,000 people, not including the floating population. If we check them one by one, it will be a huge project and it will not be done in a short time.

Once they act too radically and are discovered, those traitors may have other actions."

How to say it, the key problem of Sifang City now is that the population is too large and too mixed, and there are actually very few trustworthy and useful people.

Even if it is theoretically trustworthy, it may actually be a favor gained after a performance disguise, which may not necessarily be accurate.

For example, Zhou Jiankang trusts someone and firmly believes that he will never betray his family for the so-called glory and wealth, return to the beautiful life of the land of Shenzhou, lament Sifang City, and surrender to Beitang Sheng. Therefore, he sends the other party to participate in the screening operation.

However, his trust was placed in the wrong person and the wrong object. The other party may use this to plant a nail in Sifang City, which is bad.

And as Zhou Yuanming said, even if they really have the determination and perseverance to identify and verify one by one, in this process, it will inevitably cause disputes in the outside world and then be exposed to those traitors.

At that time, what will happen and what results will appear, no one can predict.

Zhang Baiyu's voice was sharp, with a hoarse feeling like a steel knife scraping bones, and said,

"Even if that Meng Longwang proposed a series of characteristics, it cannot be used as a basis to determine that the other party has problems. Otherwise, the bloodline of many families in the huge Sifang City will inevitably collapse."

Why did he say that/

It's very simple, because as the head of the Zhang family, although he has been studying martial arts and practicing hard, he is not really ignorant of the family situation.

Not to mention the other two families, just talking about the Zhang family, in fact, many people are in line with the characteristics of the traitor Meng Zhao said.

Zhang Baiyu also had a hunch in his heart that many of them were really problematic, but the problem might not be very serious.

If they were all beaten to death and punished in the most severe way, how would the heads of the family face their relatives and friends?

Legal principles are nothing more than human feelings, and Sifang City is not a real country, but just a small city, destined to be human feelings and connections, which are more important than anything else. (End of this chapter)
