"Who's coming? How dare you trespass into the court! ”

A few officials ran out of it, with sticks in their hands, staring at them fiercely, and soon surrounded them in the middle.

Liang Chu glanced at it coldly, with a dissatisfied look in his eyes.

Although these officials reacted fairly quickly, and their clothes were neat, it could be seen that they were not lazy in their spare time, but when they were in the corpse pit before, they were in a very bad mood, so it is no wonder that Liang Chu was not satisfied with anyone.

Mu Ling knew that Liang Chu would not answer, so he had no choice but to speak: "We want to see the city lord, what about your city lord?" ”

"Bold! Will the lord of the city see him as soon as he wants? One of the officials shouted.

"Why didn't the city lord come out to preside over the injustice after we beat the drum of grievances? What is the rationale for this? Mu Ling subconsciously frowned, a little displeased.

As soon as the drum of grievances was beaten, no matter how big the grievances were or not, the first to react was the officials, and then the city lord knew the news and came out to ask about the grievances.

If there is a grievance, it does not matter what the identity of the wrongdoer is.

Even if there is no grievance but the drum is beaten, it will be judged as deliberately disturbing the court and will be punished.

Regardless of whether the drum beater has a grievance or not, in short, the city lord must come out to deal with it, instead of holding a shelf.

Seeing that the city lord was holding a shelf like this now, Mu Ling was obviously dissatisfied: "Do you really think you are the emperor of the soil?" Since we have beaten the drum, we must have a case to state, how can you also be the presiding judge? ”

Everyone looked stunned, and they naturally couldn't be the master.

The two people in front of him are extraordinary, and their momentum is even more compelling, they can't be said to be big shots, and they can't be delayed.

Some people had already quietly retreated to invite the city lord, while others continued to stare at Mu Ling and Liang Chu.

"Who wants to avenge you?"

I didn't wait long, and I heard a majestic voice coming, and a middle-aged man dressed in an official mansion hurriedly walked from the back hall. This person's pace is steady and his breath is not chaotic, and he looks quite righteous.

Mu Ling turned around and stood still, arching his hand: "It's us." ”

She just politely saluted, and did not mean to be inferior, and for a while the city lord was a little stunned, and then her heart was awe-inspiring, and she didn't dare to take it lightly: "Who are you, what are your grievances?" ”

The two people in the hall have extraordinary bearings, and the clothes are not what ordinary people can have, and they are even more face-to-face, they don't look like people from Wushuang City, how can such two outsiders who look like they are either rich or expensive want to come to Wushuang City to avenge their grievances?

The city lord wondered in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off.

Only then did Liang Chu speak: "A mass pit was found on the top of the mountain in Wushuang City, and there were hundreds of corpses inside, all of them were women, so it was better for the city lord to send someone to take a look." ”

"The top of the castle?!" The city lord's face turned pale, and then he asked again, "You mean there is a corpse pit on the top of the mountain?" ”

"Naturally, if it weren't for something as big as this, how could it be possible to use you."

"Your Excellency is a foreigner, and you don't know anything about it." The city lord sighed lightly, not caring about Liang Chu's arrogant attitude, "There were still people on the top of the mountain at first, and then a peach tree grew on the top of the mountain for no reason, and it grew very well. But then all kinds of strange things followed, and some people even saw goblins on it and almost died. ”

"The government sent some people to investigate, and the results were the same, and for a while I just felt that it was very weird. But in order to prevent unsuspecting people from touching and causing trouble, the government later simply built a pavilion halfway up the mountain, and only cut it there, so that no one was allowed to go to the top of the mountain. The place at the top of the hill that you mentioned is where many people have not been there. ”

The city lord looked at them with suspicion in his eyes.

Liang Chu was too lazy to explain to this person, but his eyes turned cold, but he didn't bother to explain.

He didn't need to convince people that he had come today to order the City Lord's Mansion to send troops to investigate the case.

"If the lord doesn't believe it, send someone to take a look. There is a peach tree on the top of the mountain, and the peaches on it are still very delicious. It's just that who knows if it was nourished by that corpse pit, and it's still a little disgusting to think about it now. ”

Mu Ling rolled his eyes fiercely, and was very distressed when he thought that the peach tree was not growing in a good place.

The peaches could be covered with some straw and sent to the capital, and peaches of such a size were rare, and she wanted to let the children try them, but when she thought of where the peaches grew, she didn't even dare to eat them herself, let alone give them to the children.

What a waste of a good tree!

Mu Ling didn't feel that the peach was really nourished by the corpse, but he felt that the corpse pit was next to the peach tree, and he felt infiltrated when he thought about it.

The city lord obviously made up for it, and at this time he shivered unexpectedly, and smiled awkwardly: "I didn't expect the peach tree on the top of the mountain to grow so well." ”

But now is not the time to care about the peach tree!

"This official will send someone to take a look, if it is convenient for the two of them, they will go together, right?" The city lord stood up, and with a wave of his hand, he arranged for people to go down.

Wushuang City was prosperous, and there were naturally many officials, and soon there were more than a dozen people, including a total of twenty people with those who worked and recorded.

Although it is not early now, it is still possible to go up and down the mountain in time, but the corpse pit is too terrifying, and Liang Chu does not plan to let Mu Ling go to see it again.

"Let's go find the inn and settle down first, and then I'll accompany you."

"Uh...... "Waiting for them to find an inn, it's going to be dark, right?"

The city lord was suddenly a little embarrassed, and it was indeed an increasingly terrifying thing to go to investigate the corpse in the dark.

And since there is a corpse pit on the top of the mountain, it means that someone is watching that place. Now that the two people in front of them have discovered the corpse pit and come to report to the official, the person behind the corpse must also know, in this case, can these two people be spared?

At this time, I told them to go out, I was afraid that they would be targeted by the person behind the scenes.

"If you don't dislike it, the two of you will live in the city lord's mansion first, the city lord's mansion will be much safer." The city lord pondered and spoke.

Liang Chu nodded: "It's okay." ”

The city lord breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, and hurriedly waved his hand to arrange it.

Mu Ling tugged at Liang Chu's sleeve and whispered, "I'll go with it too, just don't look at those corpses." ”

"Although it is cold on the mountain, the breath is not circulating, but the corpse is dug up and it is turbid, your body is weak, it is not good to be hit by these things." Liang Chu persuaded gently.

And now it's getting dark, who knows if the City Lord's Mansion will do it, he has to be more careful.

But Mu Ling was not at ease in the end: "If you ask me to stay here alone, I don't even know any news, and I should be nervous." ”
