What I didn't expect was that two months had passed, and Su He was still alive. ”

In the City Lord's Mansion, a trace of solemnity appeared in Yang Dongsheng's eyes, "Not only that, I didn't expect Dongfang Shuo to be able to come out of the Spirit Realm alive." I knew he was a terrible talent, but now it seems that his talent is far more terrifying than I imagined. ”

"Judging from the conversation between Dongfang Shuo and the city lord, he shouldn't have noticed your abnormality. ”

At this time, one of the generals who had been with the city lord just now said.

As soon as the words fell, another general immediately echoed: "After all, he doesn't know the truth of the matter, and we have dragged him for an hour, and now even if he rushes over, he should only be able to see the corpse of the old man." ”

Hearing such words from the two, the solemnity in Yang Dongsheng's eyes couldn't help but ease a little.

"That's right. ”

Yang Dongsheng picked up a cup of hot tea beside him, "My Tiger Cliff Sect wants to be invincible, today I sent them to deal with an old man who was about to die, and bought them an hour's time, so they should also leave and stop." ”

When the words fell, he breathed a sigh of relief and brought the hot tea to his mouth.

Seeing Yang Dongsheng relaxed, the two generals also showed flattering smiles.

Immediately, one of them said: "Fortunately, Lord City Lord, you are like a god, and you have bought off the residents of the surrounding village a few years ago, and let them help you keep an eye on that old man." ”

"Yes, our city lord is also benevolent, and for the sake of the old general Yang, he has not done anything to him. It's a pity that some people don't know how to lift up. Keeping him to this day, we have already done our best. ”

When the voices of the two of them touting and echoing fell, Yang Dongsheng had already put the teacup aside.

Then, he slowly stood up and walked slowly to the window.

Looking at the rising sun, a happy smile appeared on his face.

"If you want to buy people, you must first buy people's hearts. Yang Dongsheng said slowly, "I have never bought any residents in the village, but I just gave a small favor, and my son who was suffering from a serious illness was cured, and he would naturally repay my kindness unconditionally." In his opinion, I was just concerned about the old servant of the City Lord's Mansion, so he told me about Old Man Wen without concealment. ”

As soon as he said this, the two men looked at each other, and then immediately stepped forward and walked a few steps closer to him.

"It's really worthy of being the lord of the city, and even the means of buying people are so clever, the two of us are really ashamed of ourselves!"

"Yes, yes, it is really a blessing for us to be able to follow the city lord!"

The words of the two entered Yang Dongsheng's ears, making Yang Dongsheng, who was looking out the window, laugh out loud.

With a smile, he turned to face the two of them.

"This is not the end of this matter today, you should go and wait outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion now. Yang Dongsheng said, "The clue has been broken, and Dongfang Shuo, who can no longer continue to track, will inevitably retreat." If he comes to say goodbye to me when he leaves, I will be able to truly sleep peacefully. ”

When the two heard this, they immediately gave up.

"Yes. ”

So they went out of the house together.

And after they left, Yang Dongsheng immediately put away his smile and quickly cooled his face.

Of course, he knew that these two men were flattering and currying favor with themselves. But what he said was all good things, not only did people not scold them, but they also couldn't get angry with them. The most important thing is that although these two people are flattering, they have the ability to do things, and Yang Dongsheng, who has just taken the position, needs people who can do things the most.

"God bless, let Dongfang Shuo live longer. ”

He looked at the sky and said.

Stomp.

Suddenly, two footsteps sounded from behind him.

There was no need to look back, just listening to the footwork, Yang Dongsheng knew that it was the two guys who had just been sent out and turned back.

"What's the matter with you two?"

As he asked, he turned his head to look at the two men who had just walked into the room.

But his eyes just fell on the faces of the two people, but he immediately noticed that the two of them looked wrong, and even one of them had a little pale face, as if he was frightened.

Trample.

At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps outside the door.

Yang Dongsheng moved slightly, bypassed the two of them, and looked in the direction of the door frame.

But when he saw the man at the entrance, his eyes widened suddenly.

"What's the matter? Seeing me at this time, I was so surprised that I couldn't even speak?" the man at the entrance smiled slightly, and said, "Didn't you just send these two people to the mansion gate to prepare to meet me?"

The one who came was Dongfang Shuo.

Hearing these words, Yang Dongsheng's gaze was fixed motionlessly on Dongfang Shuo's body.

Although the City Lord's Mansion is not too big, it takes a stick of incense to go back and forth from here to the Mansion Gate at an ordinary speed, but these two guys came back so quickly, obviously they were stopped by Dongfang Shuo just after going out.

In this way, can Yang Dongsheng not be surprised?

After all, according to his original expectations, Dongfang Shuo should still be looking for clues in Wen Chenggong's house now.

"But you don't have to be surprised so quickly, because there is another person besides me, and he should surprise you even more. After a moment of silence, Dongfang Shuo said.

When the words fell, Yang Dongsheng's eyes trembled.

He was amazed, and who could surprise him more?

And at the same time as the doubts came, a speculation that he couldn't believe or think.

Around this time, the sound of a walking stick falling to the ground was heard outside the house. And the moment this voice sounded, the big stone hanging in Yang Dongsheng's heart suddenly pressed down, making him a little breathless, and even his eyes that were originally complicated gradually solidified at this moment.

It wasn't until immediately after the crutches that Wen Chenggong's figure appeared in his sight, and his breathing immediately stopped for a moment.

"You should be wondering by now why he didn't die, did you?"

The corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth hooked.

And this sentence made Yang Dongsheng recover from his surprise.

When he realized Fang Cai's reaction, which could already be regarded as admitting everything, a frank smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Indeed, at this time, a smile could still appear on his face, which Dongfang Shuo did not expect.

"How much did you hear the conversation between the three of us in this room?"

Yang Dongsheng opened his mouth and asked Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo smiled and said, "It's a pity that I almost heard it word for word. ”

"Yes. ”

Yang Dongsheng sank his gaze, "Then now, I shouldn't have any room to defend myself." So, are you here to ask my master about his sin?"

As soon as the words fell, Dongfang Shuo nodded.

Seeing his approval, Yang Dongsheng's face showed an incredible smile.

After only laughing a little, the latter asked the former: "You are not from the city, why do you need to find out the old things in the city so clearly? There is no injustice between you and me, and not only that, you are kind to me, and I am willing to repay you generously." In that case, why do you have to force me hard? This matter has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Yes, no matter how you look at it, it's something that can't be compared to me. Dongfang Shuo said, "But the problem is that although it has nothing to do with me, it has aroused my interest." You know, once a person's curiosity is piqued, unless something threatens their lives, they will definitely want to find out. ”

"Curious?"

Yang Dongsheng sneered, "I thought that someone with excellent talent like you would be different from those ordinary people. I didn't expect that in the end, it was still the same, and I would always do something with enthusiasm that I thought I had a sense of justice. ”

Dongfang Shuo shook his head.

"I said, I'm curious, not a sense of justice. He said.

But as soon as these words came out, Yang Dongsheng laughed again.

"yes, you have to find a good reason to convince yourself, don't you?" he agreed.

Hearing this, Dongfang Shuo was silent.

In fact, in the final analysis, he himself can't tell whether this is curiosity or a sense of justice.

But whatever the reason, he should have done something today.

"Before that, I want to ask you a question. Dongfang Shuo said, "Is the person at the city gate who asked his subordinates to cut off your head two months ago to save their family's humanity the real you, or is the person who does not hesitate to kill innocent people in order to cover up the truth now?"

This question was buried in his heart all the way.

After all, what Yang Dongsheng has shown has always been the image of Ling Ran and Grace.

But now what he has done is like two people.

And such a question made Yang Dongsheng suddenly look up to the sky and laugh.

After a long laugh, he lowered his head and looked at Dongfang Shuo again.

"True and false, all are false, these two are me, why should I tell them so clearly?" Yang Dongsheng said.

Dongfang Shuo frowned and said, "These two don't look like the same person at all. ”

"It's not like it, it's not like it, it's like that!" Yang Dongsheng said, "Two months ago, I expected that they wouldn't kill me to survive, so I did that." And the more tragic I am, the more I am able to arouse their hatred of the city lord. Not only that, but I can tell you bluntly that at that time, I also wanted to move you and let you be my help. ”

Dongfang Shuo stared.

He recalled the scene two months ago, and he couldn't help but feel a little shocked in his heart.

Because no matter what, Yang Dongsheng did just that.

Cui Gou, the deputy city lord who closed the city gate to intercept Yang Dongsheng and others, was killed by Dongfang Shuo, and Yang Dongsheng, who only split the table with a knife in the city lord's mansion, but did not kill the city lord for a long time, was not at all because he claimed that he couldn't bear it, but was waiting for Dongfang Shuo to make a move.

In this way, the murder has nothing to do with him.

And his ascension to the position of city lord is purely in accordance with the 'will of the people'.

"So that means that even the bridge where Cui Gou intercepted and killed you was carefully arranged by you?" Dongfang Shuo asked.
