1774 The Truth
The prison is in a basement, the outside is heavily guarded, and the door to enter is a jack, unless the right mechanism is found, people from the outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the whole prison is not carefully divided into rooms, and a large open space is wide open, anyway, looking around, except for the black stone wall, there is only a black stone wall.
Xiao Chen's white clothes did not show embarrassment here, he covered his back with one hand, and shook the fan with the other hand, seemingly curiously wandering around the heavy prison, touching the hard black stone wall from time to time.
After turning around, Xiao Chen seemed to be tired, yawned, then found a clean place, sat cross-legged and dozed off, as for the impending crisis, he didn't seem to be aware of it at all.
A trace of contempt flashed in the eyes of the people who observed Xiao Chen, in the end, it was from a small place like Tianjian, something that had never seen the world, there were things in this heavy prison that made people's spiritual power flow, the longer Xiao Chen stayed here, the faster the spiritual power on his body would be lost, and no matter how advanced his cultivation was, he would become a waste person when he arrived here.
Thinking that he was hidden and left from the shadows, the man was bent on reporting the situation to the city lord, but he didn't notice that Xiao Chen yawned towards the place where he had just hidden, and there was a hint of an inconspicuous smile on the corner of his mouth, like mockery and indifference.
"Back to the city lord, the kid didn't notice anything, and thought it was just an ordinary dungeon, so he dozed in it. "The person who has just come out of the prison is standing in front of the city lord to report the situation at this moment.
Huo Pingjun nodded, there was a little pity on his face, and he sighed: "I saw that kid, the roots and bones are excellent, but he is a good seedling for cultivation, but it's a pity that he is not very obedient." ”
The subordinates hurriedly complimented: "The city lord is right, if you are disobedient like this, no matter how good the bones are, it is useless to keep them, it is better to eradicate them as soon as possible, so as not to leave disasters in the future." ”
The city lord glanced appreciatively at his subordinates who could speak, "You are quite clever, when this matter is over, you will be transferred to the inner mansion." ”
The subordinates' faces were full of joy, and they tried their best to suppress their excitement, "Thank you City Lord, your subordinates will definitely serve the City Lord loyally, and they will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire!"
The city lord laughed twice, looking like a kind middle-aged man, but only he knows what kind of heart and liver is hidden under the skin.
The black tiger is his own nephew, but he is only a wife, and his wife died twenty years ago, and he has not married since then, others think that he misses his dead wife, and he has a deep love for his dead wife, but in fact he just doesn't want to share his luck.
Huo Pingjun is not only not as affectionate as outsiders seem, on the contrary, he is an extremely beautiful person, but those beauties are well hidden by him, and the outside world has never missed anything, but this matter was inadvertently known by the black tiger.
The black tiger knew that Huo Pingjun cared about reputation, and while contributing all kinds of beauties to Huo Pingjun, he used this to blackmail Huo Pingjun, Huo Pingjun had enough of the black tiger early, but he never found a chance to attack the black tiger.
Over the years, under the coercion of the black tiger, Huo Pingjun has opened the back door for the black tiger, what good resources does the city lord's mansion have, and the black tiger has to be cheeky to take a share, the outside world also complains about the city lord's mansion because of the existence of the black wooden hall, although Huo Pingjun doesn't care much about the people's thoughts, but he loves fame, and he is naturally dissatisfied with the black tiger in his heart.
Huo Pingjun thought that he would have to plan for a long time to get rid of the black tiger, but he didn't expect Xiao Chen and others to appear at this time, and the black tiger happened to have a grudge with Xiao Chen, after leaving the inn that day, the black tiger also sent someone to him, and said that there was a big beauty who wanted to give it to him, but in fact, he wanted to borrow someone from him, and said that he was injured and needed a lot of medical treatment.
On the surface, Huo Pingjun agreed to the black tiger's request, and said that after the black tiger was healed, he would take him to find trouble with Xiao Chen and others, and secretly, Huo Pingjun had already inquired about the origin of Xiao Chen and others.
Originally, he thought that Xiao Chen would be able to defeat the black tiger, and he had some ability, but as soon as he heard that it was from Tianjian, he immediately didn't take them to heart, it was just an ant from Tianjian, what is it in this mixed metaverse?
"The city lord, how to deal with those people in the inn, I heard that they are Xiao Chen's companions, and the strength of those people is about the same as Xiao Chen. The subordinate asked.
Huo Pingjun didn't take this to heart, he just raised his eyelids, "Since it is Xiao Chen's accomplice, it is very likely to be Xiao Chen's accomplice, and the bloodbath Heimutang must also have the share of these people, send someone to arrest them for me!"
The subordinate responded to this errand with a happy face, and went to the inn with people, for him, the immortal punishment and others came from Tianjian like Xiao Chen, and the strength was not too high, so there was no need to put it in his eyes, this errand was simply a gesture.
Duanmu Rui's men were extremely efficient, but in just an hour, they had already investigated what was happening in the city, and as the immortal punishment had guessed, since half a year ago, there had been intermittent disappearances in the city.
At first, it was the old and weak women and children, people only thought that they were lost by themselves, and did not take it to heart, and in less than a month, it was the disappearance of young and middle-aged people, at least a dozen of them every month, and in the past six months, the people in the city have been a little scared.
Hearing this, Duanmurui was a little puzzled, "In half a year, so many people have disappeared, hasn't the government here investigated?"
The subordinate replied: "According to the investigation of his subordinates, it is not the people who really have the power in the city of the dead water, but the city lord's mansion, the city lord has sent people to investigate when the incident happened, he has always been very authoritative in the hearts of the people, and everyone believes in his words." ”
Duanmurui was still puzzled, "But for half a year, did he investigate anything? The people didn't complain at all?"
"Back to His Royal Highness, I heard from the people who had disappeared that the city lord took pity on their plight and gave them a sum of money to protect their lives, while reassuring them, saying that they were already investigating, of course, the most important thing was that his money played a role, even if some people were suspicious, they would not get along with the money. ”
After listening to his subordinates' reports, Duanmu Rui's brows furrowed and he didn't let go for a long time.
Phoenix sneered, "This city lord is really good at buying people's hearts, for ordinary people, it's good to be able to live well, the existence of young adults is also to support the livelihood of the family, he solves the livelihood problem, even if he doesn't find anyone, no one will say that he doesn't do his best." ”
After saying this, several people glanced at each other and said in unison: "The city lord has a problem!"
