The city lord's wife's inquiry made Mu Eighteen silent for a while, he got up and raised his hand and said, "Mu Eighteen is incompetent, and he can't find any clues." ”

City Lord Madam Li sighed and said: "Mu Gongzi, it's hard for you, but tomorrow those old ministers left by the city lord in Gaolin City and those people in Chunyu's family have learned about Chunyu's disappearance, and they have concluded that this matter is related to you, and I will ask you in the city lord's hall tomorrow, I will fight with reason, but I can't hold it down, so you have to be careful tomorrow." ”

Mu Shibai smiled faintly and said: "The gentleman is frank, the villain is often related, it is not my doing, and they can't do anything with me." ”

Mrs. Li nodded and said, "Master Li, don't misunderstand, I will explain everything to you then." ”

The four Dharma Protectors also stood up and said, "Little Brother Mu, don't worry, we can all testify." Mu Eighteen hugged his fist gratefully and said, "Everyone, I thank you here." ”

Early the next morning, Mu Shibai packed up his clothes early, practiced a few Kunlun Mountain swordsmanship in the courtyard, and suffered a loss in the Taoist temple, which made him understand that only if he is strong can he defeat the enemy.

After a while, the city lord's wife and maidservant came to report that the lady and the ministers were waiting for him in the main hall.

In the brightly lit hall, there were already a group of courtiers and some old guys from the city lord's family, as well as Chunyu's concubines.

Mu 18 approached the main hall and immediately felt his gaze condensed on him. This gaze maliciously converged on him, making Mu Eighteen a little uncomfortable.

The main seat in the main hall was still empty, and a temporary seat was temporarily added next to the main seat, and the city lord Mrs. Li was dressed in red, sitting on it extremely delicately, and the four Dharma protectors around her stood beside her.

Sitting on the left hand of the city lord's wife sat two old men, namely Chunyu's uncle Chunfa and the old city lord's minister Liu Dong. Below them were improvised guards with a variety of weapons.

Opposite them was a group of seven and eight aunts and some old ministers.

Chunfa saw Eighteen who walked into the house, and before he could stand still, he asked, "You are Mu Eighteen, where are you from, and why did you come to Gaolin City?"

Mu Eighteen stopped and looked at him and smiled: "I am a little Taoist from Sanqing Mountain in Qincheng, and I was ordered by the Emperor of Heaven to find the blood of the four spirits and open the underworld. I came to Gaolin City because I was separated from my friends, so I came here to rest and met your city lord. ”

As soon as Mu Eighteen's words came out, there was immediately a discussion in the main hall, and Chunfa waved his hand to make everyone quiet and said: "We in Gao Linchen have not heard that the Heavenly Emperor sent people to find the blood of the four spirits, do you have a way to prove it." ”

Mu Eighteen was stunned and said, "There is no way, unless you send someone to Qincheng to ask." ”

Liu Dong, the minister on the side, couldn't hold back his anger and said: "Huangkou Xiaoer, you are a good woman, how could the Emperor of Heaven send you, a little Taoist priest, to find the blood of the four spirits, is there no use in the heavenly realm, you said that you are waiting for a friend, you have been here for more than seven days, but where is your friend?"

Liu Dong's sentence was speechless.

Old Man Xia Protector Zi stepped forward and said, "We can prove this that the city lord and Mu Eighteen met by chance in the tavern, and it was the city lord who called him to come to the painting room. ”

Liu Dong snorted and said: "The purple protector protects the city lord unfavorably, causing the city lord to disappear, this crime has not been clearly stated, and it is still confusing here, I have already asked the servants who followed the city lord about this matter, why is it not necessarily where this deliberately waits, luring the city lord with strange things, so that the city lord let down his vigilance, and take the opportunity to collude inside and out, so that the lord can be taken away." ”

Xia Protector's face changed when he heard this, and he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only swing his sleeves and stand there with a red face.

Mu Eighteen was stunned when he heard Liu Dong say this, if the real person has two skins in his mouth, he can say whatever he wants, and the person who had nothing to do with this matter has become a sinister villain who deliberately contacts and deliberately harms him. So he walked over and looked at Liu Dong's eyes and said, "This adult is talking nonsense, and it makes a lot of sense when I hear it, may I ask why I kidnapped your city lord?"

Before Liu Dong could speak, Chunfa on the side shouted: "Do you still need to think about this, it must be to see that Gao Lin City is rich and take the opportunity to blackmail." ”

Mu 18 heard "bah" and said: "I am scarce of your money, as you said, why didn't I run away afterwards for the sake of money, and stayed to look for clues." ”

Chunfa smiled coldly and said: "This is your traitorous trickery, stay to listen to our methods, so as to grasp our plans, and do what you do." ”

Everyone in the hall nodded again and again, and Mu Eighteen's head buzzed, what kind of people are these people, how can they be stupider than pigs. In this self-justification.,So I closed my mouth and didn't want to say anything.。。

Mrs. Li, the city lord, stood up and saluted everyone: "I don't believe that Li Gongzi is a traitor, a few days ago he was in the Taoist temple to kill demons, and the people of Gaolin City are obvious to all, these days Mu Gongzi is in a coma, and dozens of people who were saved by him want to visit, I heard that they haven't woken up yet, and they are willing to leave after putting down their gifts for a long time." ”

The old minister Liu Dong got up and saluted: "The city lord's wife is kind-hearted, and she doesn't know that the world is sinister. ”

Old man Xia Protector Zi didn't agree and said: "That day, what I saw with my own eyes could not be fake, if it weren't for the fact that this brother would have died a long time ago." ”

Chunfa looked at the two sides and insisted and proposed: "Since this is the case, it is better for us to vote, and those who are willing to detain and interrogate Mu Eighteen, please raise your hand." ”

Mu Eighteen didn't even look up to know the result: "Don't waste time, lock me up." ”

Chunfa continued: "If the five disagree, someone will take it." ”

Mu Eighteen suddenly raised his head and said, "Wait a minute, I have something to say." Chunfa asked, "Why do you want to tell the truth?"

Mu Shibai raised his hand and said, "No, I'm telling you, you counted wrong, it's six who don't agree." ”

Chunfa smiled bitterly and said: "I'm still in the mood to play, if you are a prisoner, don't count, or five, take it." ”

"He said you counted wrong, you just counted wrong, it was six that disagreed, that one point was wrong. As soon as this voice came out, the hall suddenly fell silent, and somehow someone dropped an embroidery needle and fell to the ground, and a "clang" sound echoed in the hall.

A chubby man walked out from the side of the main hall, wearing a jade crown and a hint of a smile on his fat face, he slowly walked to the main seat in the main hall and sat down, looked at the quiet crowd around him and said, "Why are you all dumb?"

Only then did the quiet crowd react, walked up to him and knelt down and said, "See His Highness the City Lord." ”

The man raised his hand and said, "Get up!" Mu Eighteen did not kneel, knowing that it was Chunyu who had been rescued.

It was Chunyu, the city lord of Gaolin City, who came out, and a white object sprang out of his arms and couldn't wait to pounce on Mu Eighteen, Mu Eighteen was hit by him, and the little thing licked Mu Eighteen's face with his tongue, and screamed happily.

Chunyu glanced at it jealously and said, "This white-eyed wolf, I've been feeding you for a few days, ignore me, get out of here." ”

The old minister Liu Tong saluted and said: "City Lord, why did you come out, I died in a hurry when I was outside." ”

Chunyu didn't say anything but looked at his wife and said, "So far, what else do you have to say?" As soon as this sentence was said, except for Mu Eighteen and the Four Great Dharma Protectors, everyone else was shocked.

City Lord Madame Li laughed and said: "What a secret of the world, it turns out that you already knew, I said why are these four Dharma protectors standing beside me this morning, I thought I wanted to protect me, but I was afraid that I would run away, Mu Gongzi, you are so scheming!"

Everyone in the main hall was shocked, and suddenly looked at everything in front of them, because the city lord did not speak, everyone did not dare to say anything.

Old man Xia Protector Zi took a step forward, walked in front of Mu Eighteen and turned to Mrs. Li and said: "Mrs. City Lord, you are wrong to blame Little Brother Mu, it was a battle in the Dao Pavilion, and the little girl who called Bottle Wait for me has already told Brother Mu that everything is done by you and outsiders, and I have attached a consciousness to Brother Mu, so I also heard what I said that day."

Afterwards, Brother Mu came to me and said that he wanted to talk to you and let you take the initiative to hand over the city lord, as if nothing had happened, but I stopped him, because if you know that you are wrong, it is good to let go, if you don't agree, the city lord's life will be threatened, so he saved the city lord early this morning. ”

Mu Eighteen looked at Mrs. guiltily and said: "Actually, if you don't go to the Gym to save me, I won't come out alive, Mu Eighteen is grateful for your life-saving grace. ”

Mrs. Li smiled bitterly and said: "I originally just asked you to make a appearance, I didn't expect you to find out anything at all, I want to wait for the matter to pass, and then find someone to help you release it, I didn't expect you to find out to the gym, you really found out, you had nothing to do with this matter, how can it affect you." ”

Chunyu suddenly said, "Madam, am I not good to you?"

Mrs. Li smiled poignantly and said: "You are good to me for everything, but there is one thing that is not good, you shouldn't find so many concubines, women in the world who want to share their husbands with others, I can't control you, I can only lock you up." ”

Chunyu opened his mouth to say something, looked around and paused for a moment: "If you don't like it, I can let them all go, why do you do this to me." ”

Mrs. Li burst into tears and said with a smile: "At the beginning, you were just the youngest son of the city lord who was not welcomed by others, and it was I who relied on the reputation of the Tianshan faction to help you sit in this position step by step, have you forgotten all those vows and mountain alliances you made at the beginning? Isn't it ridiculous that I have to remind you little by little?"

The old minister Li Dong said angrily: "Bold woman, I don't know what is wrong, don't you say who is colluding with you?"

City Lord Chunyu glanced at Li Dong and said, "Get out, this is my family matter, what do you have to say?" Li Dong's body trembled slightly, and he hurriedly knelt down and didn't dare to speak.

Mrs. Li smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "Since you have come out, I should also leave, you and I will be separated in this life, and I hope that we will never see each other again in the next life." ”
