Lin Xiao said that they had already walked a long way, thinking that they were finally going to arrive, and when they arrived at the place, they first had to find a restaurant, eat first, then go to the inn, and rest when they were full.

"Have you heard? The city lord had a serious illness a few days ago and has passed away! ”

"What! No, the city lord is so tough, how can he get sick? There shouldn't be any surprises! ”

"I don't know, but I heard that the city lord died of a serious illness."

Lin Xiao and his party had just come to Mocheng, found a restaurant, just found a place to sit down, and after ordering food, they heard people at the table next to them talking.

The Lord of Meaux has died! This news shocked Lin Xiao, and when he heard them say, it was not that simple, the body of the city lord of Mo City was indeed very tough, how could he suddenly get sick? Lin Xiao felt that there was something strange about this.

"Lin Xiao, what's wrong with you? Do you know this Lord of Mo? ”

Mo Tong saw that Lin Xiao's expression seemed to be a little bad, so he asked.

"I have an old acquaintance with him, but I didn't expect him to pass away, I really don't know if it's because of illness or ......"

Lin Xiao didn't finish his words, because he didn't know much about how the city lord of Mo City died, and in order to understand, he turned his head to the few people who were discussing just now.

"According to me, the lord of the city is sick and dead."

While those people were drinking and discussing, Lin Xiao suddenly spoke.

"Oh? This brother also heard about the death of the city lord? It's not as simple as what you hear, I see! There must be something strange about this! ”

"Then I don't know, where is this strange place?"

Lin Xiao asked inquiringly, but the man shook his head, saying that he didn't know, maybe it was just a feeling, and Lin Xiao also felt that the cause of death of the city lord of Mocheng was not simple.

"Lin Xiao, how is the strength of this City Lord of Mo City?"

Xi'er, who was listening on the sidelines, also heard something, thinking that if the city lord did not die of illness, then who had the ability to kill him? Unless he can't do it.

"If you can be the lord of the city, you must be strong, otherwise you won't be able to convince the public, just by blood, but you don't have the ability, it will still make the people rebel."

Lin Xiao also thought that the city lord was plotted by someone, but before the matter was uncertain, even if there were ten thousand possibilities, it was just a conjecture.

"Brothers, do you know what kind of illness the city lord has?"

Lin Xiao continued to ask, a few of them were also in a panic, and it happened that Lin Xiao chatted with them to relieve their boredom.

"The city lord must have a serious illness, as for what the disease, I don't know, I only know this disease, and I died, I heard that it is quite serious."

Lin Xiao listened, with a look of doubt, wasn't this person sick and slowly tortured to death by the disease? Why did you suddenly get sick and die? It's not easy!

I heard another piece of news, and others asked for money to ask for money, but I didn't use it, because my eloquence was too good.

After waiting for a while, the food came, and Xi'er was hungry, so she quickly picked up the chopsticks and ate it.

"After such a long journey, when you are full, you will find an inn to rest, and tomorrow I will go to the City Lord's Mansion, I want to know how this old acquaintance of mine died."

Lin Xiao remembered the first time he met the city lord, and then thought that now that the other person was gone, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Hearing the news of the death of the city lord, the saddest thing was Mo Tong, but when he was eating, he didn't show it, and he didn't say much, but he didn't want to believe that the city lord died of illness.

After resting all night, Mo Tong got up very early, and Lin Xiao could see that from last night to now, Mo Tong's expression was still so sad.

"Where are you going?"

Lin Xiao asked, although he knew that Mo Tong wanted to inquire about the news, but he couldn't let him go alone, there was a lot of power, and he wanted to wait for Xi'er to wake up and go together.

"I want to inquire about the news of the city lord, I really don't believe it, the city lord is sick and died, he is obviously very strong, it is impossible to get sick."

After Mo Tong finished speaking, his stomach suddenly gurgled and screamed, Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly, why didn't he want to believe the cause of the city lord's death?

Lin Xiao woke up Xi'er and went to walk around the street together.

"Boss, how do you sell this roasted sweet potato?"

Lin Xiao and the others came to the stall selling roasted sweet potatoes, but the boss seemed to be busy talking to others and didn't care about them.

"Why is this a new city owner?"

"Oops! Have you not heard of it or how to drop? The lord of the city has had a serious illness and has died! If we don't change the new city lord, we won't have a city lord! ”

"No, where did the city lord die of illness! You don't want to think about how healthy the city lord's body is! How can you suddenly get sick? And just got sick and died, what kind of disease have you ever seen like this? ”

The boss who sold roasted sweet potatoes was sitting there chatting with a few people, and Lin Xiao didn't interrupt them, although he was very hungry, he had free news, and he didn't listen to it. Save the money to inquire.

"Yes! I've never seen a disease that kills you as soon as you get sick, it's like poisoning. ”

"That's right! This may be poisoning, it is the new city lord who wants to kill the old city lord and then succeed to the throne, it must be like this! ”

"But I heard that the elders don't let the new city lord take the throne! What the hell is going on? ”

Listening to a group of people discussing there, Lin Xiao listened more and more mysteriously, but there was no important information left to listen, so he directly interrupted them.

"The boss is not here, if you don't come to bake sweet potatoes, the guests will have to leave!"

As soon as Lin Xiao's words fell, the boss immediately took a few roasted sweet potatoes and handed them to Lin Xiao.

After filling his stomach, Lin Xiao planned to go to the City Lord's Mansion, but was stopped by Mo Tong.

"You go back to the inn first, I still want to inquire and learn more, and then go to the City Lord's Mansion, it's not too late."

Mo Tong said, so he went to inquire by himself, and Lin Xiao took Xi'er back to the inn.

After waiting an hour or two, Motong returned.

"The death of the city lord is really strange! I suspect it's the murder of the new city lord. ”

Mo Tong told Lin Xiao the news he had heard.

"The new city lord? It's interesting, it's really ruthless, and the old city lord is really big-hearted, and he was actually killed like this. ”

Lin Xiao sighed silently for a while, no matter what the city lord said, it was also his own old acquaintance, if he was killed, he would definitely take revenge.

"Although I know that the death of the city lord is not simple, I am not sure that it is the black hand of the new city lord, so I want to ask you to help investigate this matter."

Mo Tong pleaded and asked Lin Xiao to help, it was not easy to investigate this matter by himself.

"What do you please, what do you do when you say these kind words, the city lord and I are old acquaintances, no matter how you say it, I will also investigate his death."

Although he said so, but the truth is also the case, the city lord is indeed Lin Xiao's old acquaintance, and Mo Tong helped Lin Xiao in Tianji Pavilion, so Lin Xiao agreed to help him investigate the matter.

To investigate this matter, we must go to the City Lord's Palace, otherwise these gossip alone will not be enough.

"Well, then please."

The group set off, and along the way, Mo Tong was telling Lin Xiao something he knew, while Xi'er was playing by himself, and he didn't understand it anyway.

"Boss, how can this sugar gourd be sold! Get me three strings! ”

Xi'er asked for three strings of sugar gourds, and then walked to Lin Xiao and them, and each of them gave one.

"How old are you, and you still eat sugar gourds?"

"If you don't eat it, I'll eat two sticks myself, Master, will you eat it?"

"I eat, I don't eat for nothing."

Lin Xiao saw that he was angry with the two of them, and quickly snatched the sugar gourd in Xi'er's hand and ate it, it was quite sweet, thinking that he hadn't eaten the sugar gourd for a long time.

"Yo, who said you wouldn't eat it? I don't look at how old I am, I still eat sugar gourds, and I'm quite happy to eat. ”

Xi'er learned Lin Xiao's tone and talked back to him, but Lin Xiao ignored him, eating his own, why did he care so much.

Mo Tong continued to tell Lin Xiao about what he knew, while Xi'er walked away and went to take a look at those novelties, Mo City was so big, and there were countless novelties.

"Don't go too far, it's not too small, just don't lose it."

Lin Xiao said to Xi'er, there are a lot of people here, and if you are not careful, you will get lost, so he is a little worried about Xi'er.

"Don't worry, I'm nearby."

As she spoke, she walked to an antique shop, but after taking a look, she walked away, for antiques and other things, she just admired them purely and had no intention of buying them.

Because the price of antiques is generally not cheap, and it is easy to buy fakes, besides, Xi'er doesn't know what to do when he buys it, just a glance, what can you do if you see so much? And I can't see it all.

The boss who bought the antiques finally saw a guest coming, and just wanted to ask what the guest liked, but the person looked at it and walked away, which made the boss swallow back what he was about to say.

"Why are there so many strange things these days? If you don't buy it, you can still watch it! ”

The boss muttered to himself, so that the passers-by heard it, and they couldn't help but reply to him.

"How can you buy it if you don't look at it? It's so beautiful to think, but it's ugly. ”

Hearing this, the boss's face darkened, he had always thought he was very handsome, but he was actually said to be ugly by others, and he was a woman talking about herself, which didn't let him live.

"Lin Xiao! Master! Look, it's so much fun! ”

"How old are they, and they still play with toys."

"If it's fun, just buy it, if you don't have enough money, tell Master, Master will buy it for you."

Xi'er took a small toy and put it in front of Lin Xiao and Mo Tong, Lin Xiao said himself vigorously, and it was obvious that his master was the best.

Lin Xiao's ears were all shouting at the master of Xi'er, but not calling him, thinking that when he stood up earlier, there was an apprentice who called his master every day, and he was happy to think about it, but when he thought of having an apprentice who was so annoying, a sugar gourd for a while, and a small toy for a while, forget it, it was better not to be an apprentice, troublesome.

Before he could finish what he knew, Mo Tong continued to talk while Xi'er continued to play on the sidelines.

"Now this new city lord is the younger brother of the old city lord."
