In the front hall, Shu Mengxin was still enjoying the pastries in Shu's mansion, and when she saw Jiang Yuchen and Gong Lingxi walking in, she said curiously: "Why did you come back so soon?" ”

Doesn't it mean that the castle lord's illness is difficult to cure?

Jiang Yuchen smiled on his face, "The matter has been resolved, let's go back first." ”

Hearing Jiang Yuchen's words, Shu Mengxin immediately put down the pastry in her hand and said excitedly: "Brother Immortal Doctor is really rejuvenating. ”

Jiang Yuchen: "......"

Just as they were about to leave, a group of guards from the City Lord's Mansion ran in outside and surrounded them, led by the housekeeper, "Stop, you have harmed the City Lord, and now you still want to run?" ”

The corpse startled him, but before the two men came, the city lord was clearly still alive.

Therefore, the death of the city lord must be inseparable from them, although Gong Lingxi and Jiang Yuchen have a very high status in the Chu State, but they cannot kill innocents indiscriminately, this matter must be explained.

Gong Lingxi said coldly: "Do you need to report to the official?" ”

The housekeeper laughed shamefully, "Report to the official? Will the yamen believe our words? Now that the city lord is gone, it's not up to you people from the imperial city to do whatever you want. ”

"Don't even think about walking out of the door if you don't give an explanation for today's events!"

Looking at the grim situation around him, Shu Mengxin said blankly: "Uncle housekeeper, what's going on?" ”

She has a marriage contract with the eldest young master of the City Lord's Mansion, and she will be the hostess here in the future.

The housekeeper glanced at Shu Mengxin and said with some embarrassment: "Miss Shu, we don't want to embarrass you, it was the two people next to you who killed the city lord." ”

"Dead?" Shu Mengxin looked incredulous.

"There must be a misunderstanding, my cousin and the reputation of the immortal doctor brother are also the best in the Kaqi Continent, how could they do such a thing."

"People are dead, and there is nothing to justify."

Gong Lingxi's expression was indifferent, and he was still indifferent in the face of dozens of people, and he didn't even raise his eyes.

These people are no match for her at all.

"What are you all about?" An unhappy voice sounded, and a young man walked in from outside, saw the scene in the front hall, and immediately said angrily: "What are you doing here? ”

Cold sweat broke out on the butler's forehead, and he explained again and again: "Young Master, they killed the city lord. ”

"Killed?" Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and shock flashed in his eyes.

His father was greedy for money and sex, he was still uneasy when he was sick, he was corrupt when he was young, and he didn't know how many girls he had and how many innocent lives he had harmed.

He had never had a good impression of his father, but he still felt a little strange to hear about his death.

"Brother Qin Yuan." Shu Mengxin's face showed a hint of joy and immediately ran over.

This son, who looks a little unruly, is the eldest young master of the City Lord's Mansion, Qin Yuan, who has a marriage contract with the second lady of the Shu Mansion.

Qin Yuan frowned slightly, turned sideways to avoid Shu Mengxin's entanglement, and said coldly: "What the hell is going on with you?" ”

When he saw Jiang Yuchen and Gong Lingxi at a glance, a flash of amazement flashed in his eyes.

Shu Mengxin pursed her lips and explained: "It was the immortal doctor's brother who wanted to come to cure the city lord, and then it didn't seem to be cured, the city lord died, and the housekeeper uncle said that we killed the city lord and was unwilling to let us go." ”

That's about the story.

Gong Lingxi never said a word from beginning to end.

Sure enough, being nosy is annoying.

"He's dead and he's dead, what are you pestering the others for?" Qin Yuan rebuked unhappily.

The housekeeper's body trembled, "But the eldest young master, the city lord was still alive when they didn't go in." ”

Now that the city lord is dead, the city lord's mansion can only rely on Qin Yuan, who holds a lot of power, at this time, he must not offend Qin Yuan, but as the loyal servant of the city lord, he definitely can't see the city lord die like this.

Qin Yuan's eyes were cold, "Can't you understand people's words?" ”

"The little ones let them go." The butler's eyes flashed with a hint of unwillingness, and he retreated all the guards.

Walking out of the City Lord's Mansion, Shu Mengxin wiped her forehead and sighed, "It was really dangerous just now, thanks to Brother Qin Yuan." ”

This time he returned in vain, and the city lord died directly, Shu Yuan was furious, but it was not good to take Gong Lingxi to open the knife, so he could only punish Shu Mengxin to kneel in the ancestral hall.

The dragon's raising of his head has ended, and Gong Lingxi is inconvenient to stay longer, so he packed up some belongings and prepared to return to the city.

It's a long way to go, and when he came, he was the only one with Chu Yi, but now he wants to go back alone.

Shu Yuan sent someone to escort Gong Lingxi back, and also prepared a lot of gifts.

These gifts are not as good as Shu Fang's Hetian jade, but they are also a piece of heart, and it took a lot of effort to find them.

As soon as Gong Lingxi walked to the door, she saw Chu Yiwei and Chu Lifeng waiting here, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, "Why are you here?" ”

"You're not going back?" Chu Lifeng said slightly displeased.

After getting into the carriage, Gong Lingxi chose to remain silent.

The person she wanted to see didn't come, so maybe it didn't matter who went back with her.

This time I said goodbye, I don't know when we will see each other again.

"I heard that Gongzi Jiang killed the city lord of Yuecheng." Chu Lifeng's voice came in from outside.

Gong Lingxi said coldly: "He died of illness himself, and it has nothing to do with Gongzi Jiang." ”

Chu Lifeng said with a smile: "You are so bold that you dare to come to the door directly, now whether he died of illness or not, everyone thinks that you killed him." ”

"However, the city lord of Yuecheng is not very good in the hearts of the people of Yuecheng, and you can count killing him as a good thing for the people."

Gong Lingxi frowned slightly, and didn't pay attention to him anymore.

"Brother Huang, why did you suddenly come to Yuecheng?" Chu Yiwei was puzzled, he rode on another horse.

He and Chu Lifeng were all good horses, thousands of miles of horses, only the horse in Gong Lingxi's carriage was ordinary, the speed was very slow, and the coachman was also moving forward slowly, and they slowed down in order to walk with Gong Lingxi.

"When I heard about the cloak here, I rushed over." Chu Lifeng frowned.

The news he received could not have been fake, but this time it was still a mistake.

The other party inevitably knows him too well, and this kind of enemy is very uncomfortable, thinking about when he has encountered such a tricky enemy after galloping on the battlefield for many years.

Chu Yiwei said: "Since the cloak has flowed into the rivers and lakes, let it go." ”

The original intention of the royal family was to put the spirit fox cloak on the rivers and lakes, so it took the way of the Oiran Contest reward, although it was stolen in advance, but it did not violate the original intention.

As for why it caused chaos in the rivers and lakes, no one knows what the emperor thinks.

A cloak fashion can cause chaos, if the spirit bead is born, I am afraid that this Kaqi continent will tremble.

Cloak...... Gong Lingxi clenched his fists.
