Chapter 143: Meet the City Lord
Qin Xuechu's face turned gloomy: "If it really happens, can you take this responsibility?" Doesn't it matter to you that big things? ”
The guards were shocked by Qin Xuechu's temperament for a while, and at this time, a middle-aged man in a cyan robe came out, looked at the door a little chaotic, and hurriedly scolded: "How can there be noise in front of the door of the City Lord's Mansion!" What a system! ”
The guard just wanted to say something Qin Xuechu strode in front of the middle-aged man, and said with a serious face: "This lord, I have something important to report!" ”
Immediately afterwards, Qin Xuechu told his guess. At this time, the middle-aged man's face was also gloomy and terrifying.
"You come with me." The middle-aged man glanced at the two of them meaningfully, led them to the city lord's study, and asked them to wait outside for a while, he wanted to report to the city lord first.
Qin Xuechu's heart was anxious at this time, and he didn't have the heart to look at the scenery of the City Lord's Mansion, just stared at the door of the study. The man next to her turned pale, and his legs trembled.
At this time, the door of the study opened, and the city lord sat behind the desk, with a murderous aura on his face. "Tell me more about the situation."
"Back to the city lord, on my way back to the inn, this man suddenly stepped forward and pulled me, and he was very familiar with me between words, if it wasn't for my companion arriving in time, I don't know what happened now." Qin Xuechu looked directly into the eyes of the city lord, not at all deterred by his momentum, "I have heard of this kind of thing before, so I quickly brought this person to find the city lord and ask the city lord to send troops to block the city gate and search the whole city!" ”
The city lord of Moxiang City was a little hesitant at this time, today happened to be the Moxiang Festival, if it was not handled well, the impact would be very bad.
Qin Xuechu looked at the hesitant city lord with an anxious expression, expecting him to make a decision quickly.
The door of the study was suddenly opened, and the middle-aged man just now hurriedly walked to the city lord's side, saying something in his ear, only to see the city lord's face change several times, and the spiritual pressure around him became more and more intense.
"Immediately send people to block the city gate and search me door to door! And inform the checkpoints of each road, no one can let go! The city lord's face turned blue, and the anger in his words was obvious, "In the name of Moxiang City, send a message to the other city lords around you, and tell them to be vigilant!" ”
"Yes!" The middle-aged man hurriedly walked out after receiving the order, only to hear the sound of footsteps outside the door for a while.
Although Qin Xuechu did something unseemly, she still hated this kind of abduction. Qin Xuechu, who passed the news to the city lord, breathed a sigh of relief, her current strength was average, if she really faced those people in person, I am afraid she would not be able to take advantage of it.
"It's thanks to two little friends." The city lord looked at the two of them and said slowly, "The two of you will live in the city lord's mansion now, and when this gang of thieves is destroyed, I will thank you two more." The prisoner was handed over to the City Lord's Mansion, hoping to find out something. ”
"Come, bring the prisoner down, no matter what method you use, let him speak!" The city lord looked at the man who was paralyzed on the ground, and his eyes were cold.
actually did evil in his Moxiang City, he really didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick!
Qin Xuechu's heart finally let go at this time, and her spirit that had been tense suddenly relaxed, making her knees a little weak. Xingchen noticed her condition and walked over to her side and helped her.
The two were led to the guest room by the servants of the City Lord's Mansion, Qin Xuechu sat at the table, and immediately went to the maid to pour tea for him.
"Thank you, girl." Qin Xuechu smiled slightly, the maid took a step back, bowed her head and said: "I can't help it, the two of you are the honorable guests of the city lord, if there is anything to tell the slave maid, the slave maid is named cattail." ”
"Cattail girl, if we want to get out of the City Lord's Mansion, who do we need to find?" Qin Xuechu asked softly.
"The City Lord has ordered, and the two of you can enter and leave the City Lord's Mansion freely." Cattail replied slowly.
After Cattail retreated, Xingchen sat opposite Qin Xuechu. He looked at Qin Xuechu with a sad face, and wanted to open his mouth to comfort her, but his words were a little dry. "You're so good, I didn't even notice anything unusual about them."
"Alas......" Qin Xuechu's thoughts were disrupted, so he had to sigh and say softly, "I hope to catch the people behind as soon as possible and rescue all the victims." It's not just a few families who can't sleep tonight. ”
"Moxiang City seems to be peaceful, but its overall strength is among the best among the major cities of the Hundred World Kingdom, and it should be able to solve the case soon." Xingchen said, "You were also frightened today, and now it's not early, so you should rest early." ”
The night was getting deeper, and the City Lord's Mansion was still brightly lit at this time, and Qin Xuechu was also tossing and turning in bed.
What happened in the afternoon had been replaying in her mind, and Qin Xuechu's heart had never settled down until she caught that group.
The city lord ordered that the residents of the city should not be alarmed, but there were not many guards in the city, and most of the guards were scattered within the jurisdiction of Moxiang City, and it would take a lot of time just to mobilize manpower.
"The city lord has an order, all the people who are not on duty tonight are organized into a pair and searched all over the city!" Although the sound outside had been suppressed as much as possible, it still reached Qin Xuechu's ears.
Qin Xuechu sat up from the bed abruptly, and after cleaning up, he walked out with his sword. Those scum still dare to infringe on herself, how can she do it if she doesn't fix a few?
"Big brother, please wait a minute." Qin Xuechu stopped the guards who wanted to leave, stepped forward and said, "Can the patrol team count me as one?" Now that there is one more person, there is more strength, and the situation is urgent, and I hope that I can contribute. ”
The guards hesitated a little, after all, this was the city lord's guest, but Qin Xuechu's words made him hesitate a little, the current manpower was indeed insufficient.
"I'm responsible for what happened, just follow your original plan, I'm just looking for anything else in the team, after all, I also found out about this matter." Qin Xuechu couldn't help but say, anyway, she can't sleep and has no intention of cultivating now, so she is just looking for someone to vent the depression in her heart.
"Okay, but you must be safe, girl, this kind of person is usually a vicious gangster." The guards finally agreed, "I'll go and dispatch the guards first, this is a signal flare, if you find a clue, just launch a signal flare, don't take any risks." ”
Qin Xuechu was just about to set off after receiving the signal flare, when the door behind him opened.
"Why don't you call me for this kind of thing?" Qin Xuechu turned around and saw Xingchen standing at the door, the night wind blowing his long inky hair, and the fluttering figure made Qin Xuechu in a trance.
"I thought you were asleep." Qin Xuechu whispered, she actually didn't want anyone to follow, but she couldn't refuse Xingchen, "Then let's go together now?" ”
Qin Xuechu thought back to the modern world about trafficking cases, and wanted to find some clues from them.
