Chapter 295: The Threat of the City Lord
"Yuetong?"
"Lin'er?"
Leng Buding saw Leng Yuetong and Xia Lin appear in front of him, and Xia Wei and Xiao Changye were surprised in unison.
"Why are you here?"
Unison.
It can be said that it is very tacit.
And the Xuanming Sect outside the door saw that Leng Yuetong and Xia Lin had already entered, and although they were a little cautious at the moment, they still closed the door with kindness.
"Ahem."
Facing the eyes of the two people, Leng Yuetong and Xia Lin, who came secretly, were still a little weak-hearted.
"That's it...... Here it is. Leng Yuetong touched her face a little uncomfortably, and then silently pulled out a chair and sat down.
Xia Lin next to him did the same, and sat down very naturally.
It's a pity that the two of them want to fool the past, but Xiao Changye is not a person to fool.
He stared at Leng Yuetong and Xia Lin with a little seriousness, and said in a voice without the slightest wave: "Didn't you let you keep an eye on the mayor of Peach Blossom Town in Peach Blossom Town, why did you suddenly come to Lincheng?" β
What's going on?
Fortunately, the two of them still have some brains and know that they can't appear openly, so they secretly appear at the door at night at this time.
But...... This is also not true.
"This, the mayor of Peach Blossom Town, we have investigated quite clearly, there is no need to continue to stare at it." Leng Yuetong frowned slightly, coughed lightly and explained, "Thinking that maybe you would need help in Lincheng, I came to Lincheng." β
Xia Lin next to him agreed with Leng Yuetong's reason: "That's right, that's it." β
Xiao Changye and Xia Wei looked at the two of them speechlessly.
How stupid do they look?
Although this excuse sounds quite reasonable, it is definitely not what the two people in front of me really think!
If nothing else, the two of them can still be sure of this.
It's a person who is familiar with each other, can Xiao Jiujiu not know that little Jiujiu in his heart?
But now that everyone has come here, Xia Wei and Xiao Changye naturally can't get rid of them, so they got up and went to find the people at the post station and arranged rooms for the two of them.
Hmm, as for the identities of the two of them......
It was impossible for them to descend, so they directly excused themselves and said that they were the people who came from the capital to pick them up.
The group of people left and right in Peach Blossom Town is still hidden, but they don't have to worry about being exposed.
It's just that after settling the two of them, Xiao Changye still said solemnly: "It's okay this time, but if there is a similar situation in the future, you are not allowed to mess around like today!" β
Now that the situation has been resolved, it is not a matter of concern.
Who knows if anything will happen in the future?
If everyone is so casual, then what else is planned?
Probably seeing that Xiao Changye was really a little angry, Leng Yuetong, who had always been not afraid of heaven and earth, now softened his attitude: "Senior brother, I know my mistake." β
As for Xia Lin, he was naturally preached by Xia Wei.
After finishing speaking, Xia Wei and Xiao Changye went back to the house.
"Whew-it's pretty much handled, not to mention, the sudden appearance of the two of them really scared me!"
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Xia Wei couldn't help patting her chest.
Xiao Changye just smiled and patted her hand gently: "It's not early, let's rest early." β
There's nothing to dwell on in this matter, anyway, the matter has been almost resolved, just wait.
Early the next morning, the Xuanming Sect who had been sent to dispatch the imperial court soldiers and horses had already returned, and at the same time brought good newsβthe soldiers and horses had been assembled and were now coming from another city.
"Great!"
Xia Wei's face couldn't help but bloom with a smile.
"In this way, when the soldiers and horses arrive, this matter in the city can be completely resolved!"
Not only Xia Wei, but others were also relieved.
The matter in Lincheng and Peach Blossom Town is really bad, and it is not bad that it can be solved perfectly now.
However, before Xiao Changye and the others could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a noise and the sound of blades outside the post station.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Changye's brows furrowed slightly, and with a glance at him, several Xuanming Sect disciples went to investigate, but after a while, his face was a little gloomy and ugly.
"Sect Master, we are surrounded!" The man spoke.
"Surrounding?" Xiao Changye frowned slightly, "You mean to say that you are surrounded by soldiers and horses in Lincheng?" β
The man nodded, "Exactly!" The subordinates just took a look and found that only a group of us were left in the entire post station! And the entire post station was surrounded by soldiers and horses in the city! β
"The subordinates saw that the leader outside was the city lord of the city!" Another added.
This is the ......
It's a bit of a big fuss.
Xiao Changye and Xia Wei couldn't help but glance at each other.
"Could it be that the matter is revealed?" Xia Wei touched her chin and frowned slightly, "If it weren't for that, I was waiting for you to reply to the message yesterday, why did I directly surround the entire post station today?" β139
As she spoke, her thoughts drifted to something.
And Xiao Changye obviously thought of that matter.
"Ledger!"
"Ledger!"
Xia Wei and Xiao Changye spoke almost at the same time.
The only place that may be exposed now is the fake ledger under the dry well!
In addition, Xiao Changye and Xia Wei really couldn't imagine that other Lincheng City Lords might find flaws.
Without waiting for them to finish their discussion, a small group of soldiers surrounding the entire post station outside entered the post station, and soon came to Xia Wei and the others.
Among them, the person who is protected in the middle is the city lord of Lincheng!
At this meeting, the atmosphere between the two parties was very arrogant.
"City Lord, what do you mean by this?"
Seeing the Lincheng City Lord, Xiao Changye didn't directly poke the matter, but began to look at the Lincheng City Lord in confusion, as if he really didn't understand what the Lincheng City Lord's actions meant.
"Hehe, since the adult has already torn his face, why do you have to pretend again?"
It's a pity that Xiao Changye wants to continue acting, but the city lord of Lincheng is unwilling to cooperate.
He looked at Xiao Changye with a little cold eyes, already the others, and finally fixed his eyes on Xiao Changye's body: "If you know each other, you should hurry up and hand over the things!" β
"What is the city lord talking about, what is it?" Xiao Changye looked at the city lord of Lincheng with an innocent face, "Could it be that the city lord has lost something important by thieves in the mansion?" Is there any misunderstanding in this, doesn't the city lord suspect that the official stole your things? β
Looking at Xiao Changye's serious and innocent appearance, if he didn't know the truth of the matter, Xia Wei would have felt that Xiao Changye was telling the truth!
Not bad, yes, acting skills are improving very quickly!
Xia Wei was very relieved and proud.
Worthy of her man!
"Why do you have to pretend anymore?" Looking at Xiao Changye's appearance and words, the corners of the city lord's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, "Ledger!" Hand over the ledger! β
That ledger only became wrong after it was shown to Xiao Changye the day before yesterday, if it wasn't for Xiao Changye's problem stealing the ledger, who else could it be!
The city lord of Lincheng glared at Xiao Changye with hatred.
"Humph! What kind of eyes are you? Before Xiao Changye could speak, Xia Wei on the side looked at the city lord of Lincheng very dissatisfied, "A little city lord, dare to say this about my husband?" There is no humility at all! β
Very arrogant.
If Xia Wei said this the day before yesterday, the city lord of Lincheng would probably nod his head and pay for it, but at this time......
The things related to life and death are still missing, where can the city lord of Lincheng manage so much?
At that moment, he directly ignored Xia Wei, still staring at Xiao Changye: "My lord, stop pretending, hand over the things, if you are still willing to cooperate, Xia Guan doesn't mind releasing his previous suspicions!" But if you insist on ......"
He narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly: "Even if the adults have masters by their side, I'm afraid they can't withstand these thousands of troops!" β
Burst!
Thousands of troops?
How dare you say it!
Hearing this sentence from behind the city lord of Lincheng, Xia Wei on the side almost laughed out loud.
Just such a rabble, embarrassed to say that there are thousands of troops?
Gee.
"Ugh."
This Lincheng City Lord has said all this, Xiao Changye is naturally not good at pretending to be innocent and not knowing.
He sighed softly, looking at the Lincheng City Lord's gaze with a bit of playfulness.
"City Lord, why bother? They have all become city lords, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, so why do they want to do such a head-killing business? β
Xiao Changye looked at the Lincheng City Lord and slowly shook his head, with integrity and disdain for the Lincheng City Lord written on his face and eyes.
"This official is a Qing official from the capital, how can he be in the same stream as you? Hum! β
I have to say that even though he knew that Xiao Changye was acting at this moment, when he heard his words, Xia Lin on the side still agreed very much, and almost couldn't help but stretch out his hand to applaud!
That's right, how can this rabble be in the same stream?
Polluted my peace!
"Complicity?" Hearing Xiao Changye's words, the city lord of Lincheng seemed to hear a joke, "My lord, if the water is clear, there will be no fish!" Which of the people in this officialdom is truly incorruptible and untainted? Only interests, that is what can really be in your hands! β
Even at this time, the city lord of Lincheng still did not give up on wooing Xiao Changye.
That's right, after all, Xiao Changye is a big official from the capital, so naturally he can't easily give it up.
"What's more, my lord, you are in a high position but you are oppressed by your own wife, and you are low, can you really bear it?"
After a pause, the city lord of Lincheng said with a bit of temptation.
He thought that this was Xiao Changye's pain point, and he believed that as long as he grasped this point and made good use of it, he would definitely be able to convince Xiao Changye!
It's a pity that the city lord of Lincheng is destined to return with a feather.
"Poof...... I said, city lord, where did you find out that this official was oppressed by his own wife? Xiao Changye sighed, his face was torn now, and he naturally didn't need to play it anymore.
He directly chatted with his long arms, and naturally hugged Xia Wei into his arms, and the two were very close.
"My wife and I are truly in love, how can I be oppressed by my wife?"
