Master, why don't you just do him, he's done so many bad things. ”

Ah Whale, who was following behind Dongfang Shuo, asked.

But Dongfang Shuo shook his head: "You can't judge a person by simple good or bad. Now the city is in ruins, and if he is killed, the people will fall into misery again. Moreover, he was able to ascend to the throne because he knew how to use the will of the people, and a person who knew how to use the will of the people would not go against the will of the people. ”

Listening to his words, Ah Whale fell into deep thought.

After a moment, the latter suddenly quickened his pace to catch up with the former, and asked, "Master, this shouldn't be your main purpose, right?"

The corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth hooked.

"You've gotten smarter, too. ”

As soon as the words fell, he looked ahead, "Hurry up, we're running out of time." ”

So, they quickly left the City Lord's Mansion and hurried back to the courtyard where they had spent the night yesterday.

In this courtyard, there are spies from the imperial city, and any spies from the city are in front of them, that is Guan Gong playing a big knife in front of them, and naturally no one can detect the situation in this courtyard.

Therefore, after entering the courtyard, Dongfang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Dongfang, how is the situation?"

Seeing him come back, the two people who were sitting in the courtyard chatting immediately got up, and Spy B took the opportunity to ask.

Dongfang Shuo slowly walked in front of the two, and his gaze swept over the two.

Then, he looked at Spy B and said, "What is the situation, you shouldn't be able not to know, right?" Everything that happened in the City Lord's Mansion has been clearly seen by you, isn't it?"

When the words fell, the two spies were stunned.

It was such a temporary reaction that convinced Dongfang Shuo of this speculation.

"That's true. The corners of his mouth hooked.

Suddenly, the two spies glanced at each other and arched their hands to Dongfang Shuo.

"Lord Dongfang is very clever, and the two of us are willing to bow down. ”

Scout B said.

But Dongfang Shuo shook his head: "It's just a little clever, you don't have to learn from the two flattering generals around Yang Dongsheng." ”

As soon as the words fell, Scout A immediately asked, "But Lord Dongfang, where did you come from?"

Asked about this, Dongfang Shuo glanced back at Ah Whale behind him.

Then, he looked at the two of them again.

"The reason is very simple, you have never seen Ah Whale, and now that he is coming back with me, you are not only vigilant, but not even surprised at all. Dongfang Shuo said, "You are good at probing, you know how to read words and colors, but you don't disguise yourself. Expression is the most important thing in disguise. ”

The two of them gave up again.

"Taught. ”

"It's just a casual remark, you don't have to. Dongfang Shuo said, then changed the topic and said, "I'm hungry, you can start preparing meals." ”

"Okay, you'll see!"

Immediately, Scout A happily replied.

It was only at this time that Dongfang Shuo suddenly remembered that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

Just when Spy B looked at Dongfang Shuo with a confused face, Dongfang Shuo didn't have time to retract the words just now, and Spy A had already run into the kitchen.

Looking at the back of Spy A disappearing at the door of the kitchen, Dongfang Shuo regretted it, while Spy B covered his face and sighed.

"His cooking skills...... How, exactly?"

Dongfang Shuo asked in a low voice.

Spy B glanced at him and said, "His cooking skills...... It's hard to put it into words......"

"Lord Dongfang, I'm going to start with vegetarian dishes first, do you like this carrot smoked or charcoal-grilled?Oh yes, the piece of meat that didn't make yesterday needs to be coated with charcoal to marinate it first, you can help me ......" The voice from the kitchen suddenly made Dongfang Shuo shudder, and every word was like a devil's whisper, making every hair on his body stand up.

"Anyway...... I'll do my best to turn things around......"

As he spoke, Spy B ran into the kitchen.

This was followed by a two-quarter-hour ping pong session, during which smoke occasionally billowed from the kitchen doors and windows, and occasionally bright fires and heat poured out of the doors and windows.

In a word...... It's hard to put into words......

In the end, this meal was eaten step by step, and every grain of rice and every bite of food was like a fifty-year-old poison, giving birth to demonic horns and beckoning to Dongfang Shuo.

After barely finishing the meal, Dongfang Shuo took Ah Whale early and returned to his room.

Sitting on the bed, he let out a long sigh of relief, glad that he had escaped safely.

"But then again, why hasn't there been any news of the end of the mission?"

Dongfang Shuo was puzzled.

So, he reached out and clicked the task button on the edge of his gaze.

And on the task of 'exploring the real cause of Su He's father's death', the word 'unfinished' is still marked.

"Why?"

He couldn't help but ask.

Suddenly, the voice of the system appeared in his head: "Solution: The host has solved half of the task, and the system has detected the host's permissions, so it can give the host a hint." ”

"Hints?

"Hint: The rest of the truth has to do with the emperor. ”

After the voice fell, the system's voice fell completely silent.

Dongfang Shuo was stunned.

Before he found out about today's matter, he had already expected that this matter might be related to a certain force in the Imperial City, and it was for this reason that he also sent someone to the Imperial City to investigate.

But he never imagined that this unjust case that happened in a small border town, the entanglement between a few small people who were insignificant to the empire, how could the emperor be involved?

"What the hell is going on?"

There were doubts in his eyes, and there were layers of doubts in his heart that were difficult to uncover.

But regardless of the truth, Dongfang Shuo has an intuition.

There must be only one clue connecting the emperor with this matter, and that is the old city lord rushing to the imperial city ten years ago.

Why did he rush to the Imperial City, what did he do after rushing to the Imperial City, and who he met, these are the clues.

But fortunately, at this time, there is at least some progress compared to before.

That is what the system says, "The host has solved half of the task", which means that Dongfang Shuo has mastered half of the truth.

And although the system does not say it explicitly, if Dongfang Shuo's estimate is correct, it should be everything he has learned in the City Lord's Mansion today.

Su Jingsheng conspired with the dying city lord and used the death of the city lord to kill the Su family.

This conspiracy is the cause of Su Jingsheng's death.

However, if you want to be specific, that is what Dongfang Shuo needs to investigate later.

Why did Su Jingsheng want to kill his own family, this purpose is the answer that Dongfang Shuo needs to seek in the end.
