In the South House of Cloud Pleats, Yun Folds South was also angry because of the murder again.

"This king raises you for dry food? So many people can't look at a mountain? Who is hiding on the mountain, and how many people have not been investigated yet? ”

"Lord Wang, it's the subordinates who are not doing well. This mountain may not seem big, but the terrain on the mountain is complicated, and it will take some time, I didn't expect it-" The people on the mountain would be so unbearable, there were several hidden guards around the mountain, and they actually dared to go down the mountain to commit murder.

After Yun Folds arrived in Shili Town, the outside investigation was handed over to Mo Xiang. At this time, Mo Xiang stood in the house, ashamed.

It has been a long time since she has followed Yun Huan Nan on a mission, except for business matters, Yun Zhu Nan rarely entrusts other personnel to her. This time she came back and ran into this errand that she had asked for, and she imagined that Yun Huannan would prove that she could do well in other things than just business.

"You don't care about this matter, I'll leave it to Mo Xiao in charge in the future."

"Lord Wang—"

"Mo Xiang, you have been following this king for so long, you should know that this king's words are never said a second time. Whether this time is due to lack of time or you underestimate the enemy, you should know better than this king in your heart. Do you still need this king to analyze them for you? You are the same in business, and you are the same for other tasks.

Usually it's not a bad thing, and this king doesn't blame you, but if something happens, do you still expect this king to connive at you? ”

Yun Huannan had already spoken, and Mo Xiang knew that the problem was his own, so he didn't dare to refute it at the moment.

"The subordinates know their mistakes, please punish the prince."

"There is no need to punish for the time being, you follow Mo Xiao and study hard, if you haven't made progress, this king is still the same sentence, except for business, nothing else is allowed to touch."

"Yes." Mo Xiang's heart tightened, and no matter how reluctant she was, she had to respond.

Rather than leaving Yunzhuan, she hopes to leave a glimmer of life for herself. She is talented and intelligent, and she is not afraid that she will not learn.

Mo Xiao's face is not very good, Mo Xiang knows this person too well, except for business, he really can't do anything, but he still feels good about himself. Finally taught a little, she still had to work hard, compared with Su Ningxue, Mo Xiao subconsciously felt that he liked Su Ningxue more.

Born into a famous family, not squeamish, able to endure hardships, and most importantly, have the courage to treat everyone equally.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door, Mo Xiang left quickly, and Mo Xiao went to open the door.

"Is the prince here?" Outside the door, Su Ningxue asked softly, the anxiety on her face was visible to Mo Xiao at a glance.

"Let her in." Yun Huannan spoke, Mo Xiao made way for Su Ningxue, Su Ningxue stepped into the threshold, and saw that Yun Huannan's face was not very good, and he didn't dare to say anything when the words came to his mouth.

"What's wrong? Dumb? Yun Huannan glanced at her. Eh, king, lord, there's one thing I want to trouble you, you see..."

"Say, this king has been troubled by you less. Su Zhe is sick, but this king is like his subordinate, and he has been working for him. Xu is Su Ningxue's cautious appearance made Yun Huannan feel good, and she patiently accosted her a few words.

"Hehe, how can it be, my brother is sick like a mountain, and when my brother recovers, I must be grateful to you, the prince, go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, and I will not give up."

"Are you sure?" The brow on the left side of Yun Fold South is slightly raised.

Su Ningxue thought for a while and said weakly: "No, I'm not sure." ”

Su Zhe's body, still on the knife mountain? Into the fire? Before he reached the sword mountain and the sea of fire, it is estimated that he fell first.

"Hehe, Lord Wang, then ...... busy"

"You mean." Yun Huannan was a little impatient, Su Ningxue hurriedly told the discovery of the lonely bird that he had just gone out, and after listening to it, Yun Huannan frowned again.

"Don't you think it's too late to find the mayor now? I was very fast and resolute just now. ”

"Eh" Su Ningxue was stunned, she heard Gu Yu say that something happened, can she not be in a hurry, she didn't deliberately forget the mayor, didn't she remember it when she came back.

"Mo Xiao." Yun Huannan called, Su Ningxue thought that Yun Huannan agreed to let Mo Xiao go to help find the mayor, but she heard Mo Xiao say: "Miss Su, the mayor of the town was taken away by the prince." Someone poisoned the mayor's wife in front of us, which shows that the mayor knows something unknown, so the prince brought him both back. ”

"Huh?" It turned out that it was taken away by Yunhuanan.

Su Ningxue breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, she thought that everything had reached a dead end, without the clue of the mayor, how could other things be investigated.

Thankfully, the mayor is still here.

"Did you ask something?" Su Ningxue's face was full of hope.

In her opinion, Yun Huannan and the others have been back for a while, and the two of them are sitting in the house so leisurely, it must be the end of the interrogation.

Mo Xiao shook his head, he was busy with something before, but he couldn't tell Su Ningxue.

With the permission of Yun Huan Nan, Mo Xiao took Su Ningxue to the house where the town mayor was imprisoned, just on the side of Yun Hu Nan's residence, a separate room, which was originally intended for Mo Xiao, but Mo Xiao has never had the habit of living separately from Yun Hu Nan, so this room is just cheaper for the town mayor and his wife.

Su Ningxue pushed open the door, the people in the house were nervous, and the mayor subconsciously got up and blocked his wife behind him.

"It's not bad, you have a little conscience." Su Ningxue glanced at them lightly.

"What the hell are you trying to do? You will kill us and my family if you lock us up like this! Madame was a little excited, if it weren't for the mayor of the town to stop her in front, she was afraid that she would pounce on Mo Xiao and Su Ningxue.

"Whether or not it will kill you depends on what the mayor says, ma'am, do you really think that you can survive without saying anything after what has just happened?"

The woman was stunned, the tip of the arrow was in front of her just now, if it wasn't for the prince's timely answer, she would have died. How could she not know that her life was already hanging on the knife edge, and whether she moved or did not move was death.

"What do you want to know? I can tell you, but in exchange, I want the prince to keep my family safe. Mayor Mare spoke.

Su Ningxue and Mo Xiao nodded together and said, "This is nature. Even if you don't say it, the prince will not allow innocent lives to die in vain, let alone your cooperation. It is my duty to protect you. ”

"Okay, okay." The mayor helped his wife sit down, with Mo Xiao's words, he was relieved, picked up the water on the table, poured a big mouthful, and made up his mind: "I have also been forced over the years, it is not easy for me to be the mayor of the town, and I also scattered a lot of wealth back then, and I asked for it with great difficulty." ”

"It's true that the method can't be put on the table, but I am sincere in my heart for the villagers. Originally, everything was fine, but I only complained about the heavy rain more than ten years ago. ”

Mayor Mare's fall into memory.

More than ten years ago, he took up the post of mayor for about three years, and because of his hard-won position, he has been doing his best to serve the villagers. That night, the heavy rain poured, and the river at the foot of Xiaohe Village flooded, and Xiaohe Village was downstream, and many villagers' homes suffered.

The mayor rushed to Xiaohe Village overnight to help the villagers escape, and by chance, he saw a person lying by the river.

"Hey! Come and see, there's another person! ”

It was impossible for the mayor to know every face in the village, and it was rainy and dark, and he and a few villagers teamed up to carry people down the mountain. I thought it was to save people's lives and accumulate virtue, but who expected it to lure wolves into the house.

"The man was fine for a few days when he woke up, but then his accomplices came to him, and that was the beginning of all the nightmares." Mayor Zhen's fists clenched, and his body began to tremble unconsciously.

"There are many small villages in Shili Town, but like Xiaohe Village, there are only a dozen households walking down a road, and there is a mountain behind Xiaohe Village, which is especially suitable for hiding. After the group recovered, they moved to the mountains together. I didn't think much about it, I just thought there were more people in the village.

It wasn't until they killed the first villager that I knew that I had caused trouble for Xiaohe Village and Shili Town. ”

"They are ruthless and do all kinds of evil, and the villagers are no match for them at all. In order to protect the villagers, I had to invite a Taoist priest to tell fortunes, and there were rumors that Xiaohe Village was too evil and unsuitable for living. I think as long as the villagers run away, the mountain will be left to them.

But they didn't agree, they came to my house and said that if the villagers ran away and they didn't have cover, they would kill my family. I was afraid, I didn't dare to do anything with them, so I could only bite the bullet and go to appease the villagers, saying that the hexagram was not accurate, and then I would find a diviner to calculate, just saying that the evil spirit was on the mountain, and they could not approach the mountain.

I was worried that if the villagers approached the mountain, they would be killed, but the villagers listened to the diviner and no one came near the mountain. But I was afraid, I was afraid that the villagers would be killed if they saw that group of people by chance, and I looked at them and told them that the evil spirits on the mountain were fierce, and they had to close their houses if they wanted to protect themselves, and they would not see the light of day. ”

"The villagers believed my words, but I lived in self-blame every day, and it was my cowardice and incompetence that allowed them to live in darkness. In order to atone for my sins, I sent some supplies to the villagers from time to time. ”

"The group found out and started robbing the villagers again, and the number of villagers who were forced to kill began to grow. As a last resort, I made a condition to them, and as long as they stopped killing innocents, I did everything I could to send them twenty taels of silver at regular intervals.

They were happy and agreed. We've been together ever since. Until a dozen days ago. ”

"I don't know what happened to them, it's just that they are not satisfied with twenty taels at first, they want more with their mouths open, where does my little mayor get so much money to subsidize them, I have little left to support them all these years."

"Then you can afford to raise a flower." Su Ningxue interjected.

The mayor's face was stunned, and the woman on the side lowered her head slightly, her face was not surprised, but a little helpless. The mayor explained: "Yanruhua is also their eyeliner, she seems to obey me and let me do what I want, but at the critical time, she is on the side of that group of people.

It's true to say she's my mistress, but she's also a knife around my neck. I had to touch it, and I had to be careful to offer it. ”

Mo Xiao and Su Ningxue were shocked, only looking at the Yan Ruhua was not easy to deal with, but they didn't expect to have such a relationship with the murderers.

"No wonder we just found the mayor that day, and the assassin arrived in the next moment."

"Hmm." Mo Xiao nodded.

Perhaps, Yan Ruhua didn't expect that Yunhuan Nan would arrange someone to follow them, and only then did she give them the opportunity to meet the mayor.

"Okay, you go on." Su Ning Snow Road.

Mayor Mare nodded, his face darkening.
