Many people have only seen these eight characters in books and have never heard of them in real life.
"Let's go take a look." Li Meng thought to himself, "Where would a corpse driver come from in this Zi Ning Prefecture?"
The constables hadn't gone far when they saw two figures appear at the end of the long street.
The two figures moved very fast; in the blink of an eye, the constables were already in front of them.
Upon seeing the government office gate behind him, Bian Lang said with a smile, "I am Bian Lang, a corpse driver. I have a corpse to deliver to the government office. I would be grateful if Your Excellency would ask the Prefect to come out and sign for it."
Li Meng stepped forward and stood before Bian Lang, saying in a deep voice, "I am Li Meng, the Prefect of Zining. You are the one who broke through the city gate and entered."
“Exactly.” Bian Lang nodded.
He then explained that the corpse-driving could only be carried out at night, and he had no choice but to break down the door.
If pleading and cajoling worked, who would bother to break down a door?
Li Meng chuckled, glanced at the corpse following Bian Lang, and asked, "Who sent you to bring the corpse here?"
“A master,” Bian Lang said.
The fact that Bian Lang was able to break through the city gate shows that he is quite strong, but Li Meng couldn't tell his cultivation level.
But Li Meng, despite his advanced age, was still able to act as a local tyrant in Zining Prefecture not because of his great strength, but because of his cunning.
Before you fully understand the situation of the border thugs, it's best to avoid getting into conflicts with them.
Li Meng immediately expressed his willingness to accept the body and would prepare an upper room for Bian Lang in the government office.
Bian Lang thanked him and then hurried the corpse into the government office.
As the corpse passed by Li Meng, Li Meng's expression became somewhat blank, as if the corpse looked vaguely familiar.
"Wait, let me take a look at this corpse first," Li Meng called out to Bian Lang.
Bian Lang didn't care and immediately lifted the talisman.
"Zishan?" Li Meng's expression changed drastically and his body trembled violently when he saw the corpse's face.
Bian Lang asked, "Do you know them?"
"You...you dare to kill my son?" Li Meng's eyes blazed with fury.
Bian Lang said speechlessly, "Please use your brain. If I killed him, I could just bury him somewhere and be done with it. Why go through all this trouble to deliver him to his own father?"
While this made sense, Li Meng still firmly believed that the murderer was most likely Bian Lang.
Judging from Li Meng's eyes, Bian Lang knew that the old man was holding back a lot of anger. He immediately told Li Meng the location where the body was found and how it was buried, hoping that Li Meng could be a little more rational and not make trouble for himself.
"Master Bian, please go and rest first." Li Meng suppressed his anger and had someone take Bian Lang to the guest room first.
The room was indeed nice, with elegant furnishings and new bedding that still smelled of being sun-dried.
Bian Lang had just lain down on the bed when Corpse Brother delivered the reward.
