Chapter 52: The City Lord Arrives

Xiao Ai is Wu Materia Medica's only relative and occupies the most important position in his heart. As soon as he grabbed her, he had to stop and accept negotiations. But on the other hand, if the Qiao family really dared to harm her and eliminate his weakness, then in Goose City, no one would be able to stop him.

At that time, it is inevitable to let the entire Qiao family be buried together.

The Great Elder's body trembled, he understood the cruelty in these words, and was speechless. He had no choice but to wait for the city lord to come and see what Wu Bencao wanted.

After about a stick of incense, the group of neighbors returned to Hanzheng Street, surrounded by a thin old donkey, and slowly came to the wormwood bar.

On the back of the donkey sat a little old man, short and rickety, with sparse white hair, who looked more stumbling than the old donkey he was riding. If it weren't for being surrounded by everyone, no one would believe that this was the new city lord who came to Goose City last year.

Wu Bencao turned around, looked at the old man who jumped off the back of the donkey, and said in his belly: "I heard that the city lord's name is Zhang Jun, this old face is full of pockmarks, and he is not handsome at all...... It's better to change the name to Zhang Mazi, it lives up to its name......"

Since taking office, Zhang Jun has lived in seclusion, living an indifferent life as a hermit, and does not appear in public. Not only Wu Bencao, most of the people present witnessed his dignity for the first time.

At this moment, Zhang Jun walked to the arena with his hands in his hands, and the wine gourd hanging from his waist swayed, as if he could be dragged down at any time, which looked quite funny.

He rolled his eyelids, glanced around, and asked angrily, "Who threatened me to go on a killing spree in the city?"

Wu Bencao stepped forward and replied with a salute: "The junior Wu Bencao, who was besieged and killed by Qiao's family on the street today, almost died, I implore the city lord to come and administer justice for me!"

When he said this, he smelled the strong smell of wine emanating from Zhang Jun's body, and his heart began to hesitate. Even if the old man is really the city lord himself, looking at his sloppy appearance and drunk, he can't speak fluently, is it reliable?

Zhang Jun hiccuped, glanced at him, and moved his gaze to Elder Qiao next to him, "This kid accuses the Qiao family of murder, do you have anything to defend?"

Elder Qiao was still holding Xiao Ai hostage, not daring to relax, and replied from afar: "City Lord, an hour ago, Qiao Wulang led people to discuss matters with him, and when he disagreed, he killed Qiao Wulang with a magic weapon. Killing people pays for their lives, and it is only natural that we have come to take revenge!"

In front of Zhang Jun, he was full of words, and he didn't seem to be afraid of being exposed to lies.

After listening to the statement of the Qiao family, Zhang Jun walked to the big pit where the gas tank exploded with his hands, and said without looking back: "The boy surnamed Wu, the Qiao family said that you killed people first, can you admit it?" If it is a grudge between the rivers and lakes, killing people and seeking revenge, the old man will not bother to care anymore......

With that, he squinted into the pit, his eyes flickering.

Wu Bencao replied: "It was they who spewed blood and deliberately slandered me. In the last hour, I have not been at home at all, and I have never seen Qiao Goro, where did I come from, what did I disagree with? I only know that when I came back, there was a fire in the house, and they were also there!"

His intention in inviting the city lord was to confront the Qiao family face to face and explain the facts clearly. As long as the truth is revealed, the Qiao family will be at a loss, and in front of the city lord and everyone, they will not dare to continue to commit murder, threatening Xiao Ai's safety.

Zhang Jun stood by the pit, as if he was out of the matter, and did not speak again.

Elder Qiao said sharply: "What nonsense! Just now, the neighbors took out the corpse from your house and identified it as someone from our Qiao family. Moreover, in full view of everyone, you have cast a vicious magic weapon, and the explosion is exactly the same as when your house was on fire, how can you not be at home!"

The cause of the explosion in the kitchen was a gas canister, and the gas canister that Wu Bencao used just now was also a gas canister, and for people who don't know this thing, it is also reasonable to regard it as Wu Bencao's magic weapon, which can prove that Wu Bencao was at home at the time.

Wu Bencao retorted: "How my skills are, you all saw it just now. If I really do it with the people of the Qiao family, can I easily break out of the encirclement and blow up my own house? Kill 800 enemies and lose 3,000 myself, am I sick in the brain?"

He pointed to the gas canister next to him and continued, "There are many of them, and I usually keep them in the kitchen. Your quibbles reminded me that I suspect that it was probably someone from the Qiao family who wanted to smash my kitchen while I was out of the house, and it killed me. ”

Hearing him say this, Qiao Zhenting and the Great Elder suddenly understood why Fifth Master Qiao watched Wu Bencao go out, but finally died mysteriously in Wormwood Bar, alarming the entire street.

It turns out that this thing is the culprit.

The Great Elder rebuked: "This is just a lie you made up casually in an attempt to confuse the public and cover up your murderous crime! The crime scene is in your house, and the murder weapon is your magic weapon, and the evidence is ironclad, and you can't get rid of it at all!"

"Mountains of ironclad evidence?"

Wu Bencao sneered, since he dared to invite the city lord, he was not afraid of confrontation.

"I have enough evidence to prove that I am not at home, and Qiao Goro's death has nothing to do with me. However, before presenting the evidence, I have to ask clearly, when the truth comes out, if I am wronged, but the Qiao family is suspected of committing a crime, what should you do?"

Let's make it clear first and cut off the retreat of the Qiao family, and this confrontation will be meaningful. He can't lose a house in vain, and he must be compensated from Qiao's family.

The Great Elder asked rhetorically, "What do you want?"

Wu Bencao didn't think about it, and said in a deep voice: "If it proves that I am not at home, then, the death of the Qiao family in my house not only has nothing to do with me, but also shows that they are trespassing on the house, either traitor or theft, this fire was also caused by them, and the Qiao family should compensate me!"

Hearing the compensation, the Great Elder fell silent.

It is natural to kill people to pay for their lives, but isn't it true that they lose money by destroying houses?

There is a city lord to testify, once the Qiao family agrees to this condition, and Wu Bencao clarifies the facts, then, the Qiao family will not only suffer many masters, but also usher in Wu Bencao's lion mouth, and today is a big loss.

What is the truth, his heart is clear, how dare he agree.

Wu Bencao saw it in his eyes and sneered: "What, your heart is empty?"

The Great Elder was speechless.

At this time, Qiao Zhenting, who was lying on the ground, suddenly said: "Yes, but only if you can come up with evidence." Otherwise, it can only mean that you are lying in the dark, and if you want to cover up, you must be caught and accept the punishment of the Qiao family. Do you dare to say yes?"

When Wu Bencao heard this, he was stunned at first, and then laughed.

"I have a clear conscience, why don't I dare? Since the head of the Qiao family promised compensation, then I will say it bluntly, an hour ago, I went to Zheng Tuling's butcher's shop, as long as I called the shopkeeper Zheng to testify, the truth will naturally be revealed!"

City Lord Zhang Jun stood by and watched, watched the excitement for a long time, and finally spoke, "Come on, go and bring Zheng Tu." ”

After a while, Shopkeeper Zheng came to the scene.

Zhang Jun opened his mouth and said, "Let me ask you, did Wu Bencao go to your store an hour ago?"

Shopkeeper Zheng quickly shook his head and said blankly: "Who is Wu Bencao? I don't know him......

Wu Bencao was stunned and speechless.

On the ground in the distance, Qiao Zhenting grinned silently.

Do you think I don't know, you went to the Spirit Butcher Shop first, and then went to Haiyan Tower?

Now that Zheng Tu has flatly denied it, what else can you do? Let the Feng family, who is your enemy, testify for you?

Fight with me, you're still too tender!
