Chapter 169: The Truth

"Although we can't convey overly complicated information, if the two sides agree in advance, we can send out important signals at critical moments! Don't you say, Counselor Hu?" Tang Lang finished speaking, and looked at Hu Bowen without saying a word.

Hu Bowen's face became extremely ugly, and he knelt on the ground with a "poof": "City Lord, I really don't have half a lie, this jade pendant is really from the Prophet Association, and many colleagues also know that I have a friend over there." What Tang Lang said is really out of nowhere, just to exonerate himself from his own guilt, please learn from it!"

The two sides insisted on their own words, which made Feng Honglang a little dilemma, and he didn't know how to judge, Tang Lang took the initiative to say: "What's so difficult about this! I will make two "Tongsheng" array patterns on the spot for everyone to see, whether it is really as I said, just try it!"

Without waiting for anyone's consent, Tang Lang took out a pair of butterfly knives and jade plates, temporarily handed over his body to the system for control, and quickly made two identical "Tongsheng" formation patterns with bows left and right, and handed them over to the city lord for inspection.

Feng Honglang revealed his mind to the jade pendant fragment just now and the newly made "Tongsheng" formation pattern, and found that the two were indeed completely identical, and with a gentle pinch, one of the formation jade plates shattered, and after an extremely faint spiritual light flashed, the other jade plate was also broken into several pieces, and the fracture was exactly the same as the previous one.

"Counselor Hu, how do you explain?" Feng Honglang was furious and threw all the fragments in his hand on Hu Bowen.

"I ......" Hu Bowen was already in a mess, and the colleagues around him also became playful, and they immediately cried bitterly: "City Lord, I have worked hard in the mansion for decades, and I have always worked hard and complained, and I have never had two hearts! Today you actually questioned my loyalty for a Tianqing homeless people, it is really chilling, since the city lord has suspected Hu, I will obey the fate!"

Hu Bowen played the trick of "rabbit dead dog cooking", and some other staff members were present on the side, which immediately made it difficult for Feng Honglang to continue the investigation, and he was deadlocked on the spot.

Tang Lang was willing to let the other party go, and wanted to force out who was behind the scenes, so he deliberately insinuated and said: "Counselor Hu is right! We outsiders are always untrustworthy, even if we are wronged, we deserve it! Forget it, I don't dare to continue to operate in Yuanshui City, so I still close the store and go to other nearby cities to have a look, otherwise I won't know if I will be imprisoned one day!"

was taken by Tang Lang's army, Feng Honglang couldn't get off the stage, his eyes kept scanning the faces of the two, trying to see who was wronged and who was cheating, but it was in vain, at this moment, Hang Xiaoyu took a step forward and took the initiative to say: "City Lord, my Hang's recently launched "mortgage" mortgage, as well as the temperature control array card of Yaojia Inn, and the commentary of Tianxiang Restaurant are all from Tang Lang's suggestion, and Duobao Xiaodian is even more whimsical, you don't cherish such talents, how can anyone dare to come to Yuanshui City to do business in the future!"

"Yes!" Feng Honglang was nodded by her, and also reacted: "What am I worried about! If I can't get rid of the last position this year, the position of the city lord will be challenged!"

He immediately made up his mind: "Tang Lang, this city lord will make a deal with you!"

"Oh?" Tang Lang was noncommittal: "Let's hear it!"

Feng Honglang made up his mind and regained the majesty of the city lord: "You can also see that Counselor Hu is an old man in Yuanshui City for many years after all, and it is a bit far-fetched to convict him just on the basis of these fragmented jade pieces. If

If you can pass the test of the Helm of Truth in public, the city lord will restore your innocence and hire you as a staff member of the city lord's mansion!

Tang Lang glanced at the Helm of Truth in the hand of the servant, and speculated that it was protected by the system and would not cause any harm to himself, but how could he give up if he was so humiliated for no reason, and said coldly: "No problem! But I also have one condition, my shop has been framed by rumors and its reputation has been damaged, and I must find the person behind it! If I pass the test of the Helm of Truth, then I ask Counselor Hu to bring it with me and answer me a few questions!"

"What?" everyone in the council hall let out an exclamation almost at the same time, and some people knew that the harm of the Helmet of Truth was still used at the same time, and they immediately focused all their eyes on Hu Bowen to see how he responded.

Hu Bowen's face turned red like blood, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you dare!"

"Okay!" Feng Honglang immediately beckoned to the servant, motioning for the servant to bring the helmet of the truth to Tang Lang, but Tang Lang stopped him.

"I'll do it myself!" Tang Lang stretched out his hand to take the helmet of the true words, and carefully looked at it, and the system also scanned all its internal and external structures, but this thing was a thing made of weapons, and the texture and spiritual power on it had no clue at all, so he had no idea where to start.

"Haha! Just now, the cowhide blew loudly, now I'm afraid!" Hu Bowen saw this scene and immediately sneered.

"Who said I was scared, it's just the first time I've seen this thing, and I'm inevitably a little curious, and I want to look at it twice!" Tang Lang secretly notified the system to be fully alert, and raised his hand to buckle the helmet of the truth on his head.

There was no imaginary feeling of suffocation, but his eyes were all blocked and he couldn't see anything, Tang Langqing shouted: "Let's start!"

The official walked up and opened a mechanism behind the helmet and put in a spar, and the texture on the entire mantra helmet was suddenly lit up one by one, and finally made a "buzzing" sound, indicating that the launch was successful.

Tang Lang immediately felt a warm energy seep into the top of his head, and the whole person suddenly became drowsy.

"Tang Lang!" it seemed that a voice was calling his name in his ear, and he tried hard to hear it clearly but could not concentrate, and his body became sore, and he fell backwards, and was supported by the official behind him, and sat down on a chair.

After checking his reaction, the official arched his hand and said to Feng Honglang: "City Lord, you can start questioning!"

"Master, master!" the system kept calling in Tang Lang's mind, but he never responded.

"There's no way, I can only come!" The system took the initiative to take over Tang Lang's body and began to deal with the situation in front of him for him.

"What's your name?" Feng Honglang had used the Helm of Truth many times, and knew that he had to start with simple questions, and wait for the person being questioned to slowly let down his guard before asking the most critical questions.

"Tang Lang!"

"Where are you from, what are you doing in Yuanshui City?"

"I'm the ...... of the Canglei Academy of the Tianqing Kingdom"

Tang Lang answered several questions without hesitation, and Feng Honglang threw out an important question: "Did you do the strange disease circulating in the city?"

"It's not!"

"Do you know who did it?"

"I don't know, but if I know who did it, I want him to look good!"

Feng Honglang asked

Here, Tang Lang's suspicion has been basically ruled out, and the official was signaled to stop the operation of the helmet of the mantra, and the system withdrew from Tang Lang's consciousness when the official took off the helmet.

"Wake up quickly!" Feng Honglang condensed his spiritual power into a line, and his very small voice was like a thunderclap in Tang Lang's ears.

Tang Lang woke up suddenly, suddenly felt dizzy, a feeling that was a hundred times more uncomfortable than a hangover, the whole person didn't even have the strength to sit on the chair, he slid down, was supported by Li Xinjue stepped forward, and asked with concern: "Tang Lang, where are you uncomfortable, do you want to call a doctor?"

Tang Lang reluctantly shook his head, his face was like earth, and he didn't even have the spirit to speak, but he finally didn't become stupid as he said before, Hang Xiaoyu also walked to the side, pressed his forehead with both hands and stroked it gently, thinking about it, he took out a delicate vial from his chest and opened the cap, and a faint fragrance like an orchid musk immediately filled Tang Lang's mouth and nose, and his mind was also uplifted.

"Xiaoyu, you...... Hey!" Hang Yutang didn't have time to stop it, so he stomped his feet in anger.

Tang Lang slowly regained his senses, he didn't know what happened just now, the system hurriedly told him what had happened, he was suddenly surprised, this helmet of truth was so powerful, he was taken down defenselessly, if it wasn't for the assistance of the system, I don't know how dangerous it was just now, and the eyes that looked at Hu Bowen were even more unkind.

"City Lord!" Tang Lang struggled to stand up: "Since I have passed the test, should Counselor Hu bring it next and answer me a few questions!"

"This ......" Feng Honglang has never made up his mind to interrogate his subordinates who have followed him for many years in public, and he is indecisive again.

"Haha! What a Yuanshui City Lord, promising in public is like child's play, and he will hesitate in front of black and white! What does it mean for me to stay in the city, Xinjue, let's go!" Tang Lang laughed a few times, and was about to leave with Li Xinjue.

"Wait!" Feng Honglang was so blushing that he was accused in public, but in the end he decided to deal with it impartially: "Come on! Bring the helmet of truth to Counselor Hu and interrogate the jade pendant in public!"

Tang Lang had already walked to the door of the council hall, and when he heard this, he immediately stopped, turned around to watch the situation change, and a government official walked behind Hu Bowen, bowed slightly, and whispered: "Counselor Hu, offended!" put the helmet of the truth on the other party's head.

Hu Bowen also slumped on a chair at the same time, and after Feng Honglang also asked some simple questions, he asked loudly, "Where did this jade pendant come from?"

"Hmm...... I have a close friend who is a prophet in the city, and he gave it to me!"

Feng Honglang secretly exhaled and said to Tang Lang: "Tang Lang, you have heard it yourself, there is no problem with the origin of this jade pendant, and Counselor Hu has no ill will towards you!"

Tang Lang's eyes were like lightning, and he asked back: "City Lord, can you let me ask a question!"

Feng Honglang nodded, Tang Lang turned around and asked, "The Tongsheng Formation Pattern is in duplicate, and in whose hands is the other jade pendant?"

Hu Bowen's body trembled suddenly, and he was stunned for a long time, obviously resisting the power of the helmet of the truth, but finally compromised: "Another jade plaque is in the ...... In the hands of the head of the Bao family!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall! Feng Honglang's face was pale, and he slapped his palm on the table in front of him, directly slapping the precious Nanmu table case into pieces and shattering it to the ground!
