The two watched the soldiers go out of the city, and watched them come back with a pile of corpses in the same carts and horses that had been used to transport the tax money, and they knew in their hearts that this was the matter for the time being.

This place can see the city lord's mansion in the distance.

They saw the soldiers stopping the corpses in the open space in front of the city lord's mansion, and there were many people around them.

"Shall we go down and see the excitement?" Gu Ange raised his eyebrows and asked.

Wan Yan Wu nodded.

So the three of them settled the bill, turned and went downstairs to the pile.

As soon as they pushed through the crowd and walked to the front, the city lord dressed as a Northern Desert nobleman hurriedly ran out of the city lord's mansion.

Looking at the fine sweat on his forehead, it can be imagined that he is already in a hurry at this moment.

"What's going on? How did so many people die? ”

The people on the side watched this scene, and they had already started to talk about it, talking left and right, and pointing from time to time.

"Don't you see? This is our special carriage for escorting tax silver, and it is estimated that something big is going to happen! ”

"Who is so bold that they dare to even move the tax money?"

"Actually, I won't tell you, I thought about it, but I didn't dare to do it."

"Yes, yes, I also thought about it, but I don't have that strength."

“......”

Then the content of everyone's chat became more and more strange.

In a place like the City Lord's Mansion, it is naturally impossible to store corpses, so you can only check whether there are any clues in this large court, and then send them to a special morgue for inspection by the coroner.

The city lord's face was extremely ugly, "What the hell is going on?" ”

That's a little too bad, isn't it? Looking at those corpses, the city lord sighed for the umpteenth time in his heart. Originally, he thought that it was just because of some accident, such as the car and horse broke down that caused the delay, but he never thought that it would be directly robbed, and now this kind of thing has happened in his own territory, I am afraid that he will not escape this time, alas! What kind of iniquity did he create!!

"City Lord, there is a discovery."

Just as the lord of the castle was thinking about what to do next to get himself out, the guard who had examined the corpse stepped forward to report it, still holding a token in his hand.

The city lord frowned, picked up the token in the guard's hand, looked at it, and suddenly felt a little familiar, "Is there anything else you found besides this?" ”

"Back to the city lord, no, this is still found by his subordinates in the palm of that brother, if it is not carefully inspected, I am afraid it will be difficult to find it." The guard replied.

"Where did you find it?" The lord of the castle put the token away.

"Groves outside the city."

"You guys take these bodies to the morgue first, let the coroner examine them properly, and you take me to the place where the incident occurred." The city lord said in a deep voice.

Now that the matter has happened, then he can no longer feel sorry for himself, it is only right to find a way to solve it now, if he can get back the robbed tax money, maybe he can keep his position as the city lord, live a life of peace and stability, and live a prosperous and wealthy life.

"Yes, City Lord."

Seeing the city lord leaving in a hurry with people, the culprits who stood in the crowd and watched coldly seemed to be a person who had nothing to do, and the appearance of hanging high on his own had nothing to do with him, I am afraid that even those who know the truth will wonder if what they know is false.

Since the excitement has been watched, these people who watched the excitement naturally scattered in all directions, what to do and what to do, everyone said that they were also very busy.

After everyone dispersed, Gu Ange and Wan Yan didn't look at each other, turned around and went back to the inn.

"Qi Qi master, the city lord they went back, there is nothing to gain, and now at this time the news has been sent to the king's city, and the king is furious."

That night, all the reactions to this news were sent to Wan Yan Wu.

When it was delivered, it happened that Gu Ange was playing against Wan Yan Wu.

"You're good at chess." Gu Ange dropped a word and praised with a smile.

Ordinary people in the Northern Desert basically can't even play chess, but it's rare to meet a master.

After Yan Wu played chess, he explained lightly, "This is what my mother taught me, my mother is from the Central Plains, I had a lot of time when I was a child, and my mother taught me to pass the time. ”

Gu Ange also knew a little about Wanyan's motherless relatives, and because she knew, she also knew that she shouldn't continue to talk about this topic, so she smiled slightly and changed the topic, "You have taken a good step and eaten me a lot." ”

Wan Yan didn't know what Gu Ange meant, and pulled the corners of his mouth, "Until the last step, what are you doing so frustrated?" ”

Just when the two were fighting, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The two stopped what they were doing.

"Come in."

A black-clad guard walked in.

Wan Yan Wu: "What did the king say?" ”

Since the death of Wanyan's motherless mother, he has never called the king of the Northern Desert a word of his father in private.

"The king has been obsessed with women recently, and he doesn't have the energy to take care of this matter, so he said that he asked the fifth prince to come and deal with it, and now the fifth prince is already packing up, and he should be able to arrive tomorrow." Escort report.

"Lately addicted to women?" Wan Yanwu seemed to sneer, "Has he been addicted to women recently, I'm afraid he has never come out." Alright, Prince Ben knows, go down. ”

"Yes, master."

"Wait, have the people from the other courtyard been arranged?" The guard was just about to go out, but Wan Yanwu seemed to remember something again and shouted.

The guard turned around, bowed his head and replied respectfully, "It's almost there, and I can send it over tonight." ”

"Then let the people below send it over, be sure to do it before the fifth child comes, be careful."

"Yes." The guard should come down, turn away, and go out with the door.

"No, it's not early, I'll go back to sleep, something calls me." Looking at the endgame on the chessboard, Gu Ange stretched.

Wan Yan nodded, "Rest early." ”

"Well, you get some rest early, too." After finishing speaking, he left with Hua Yan, and when he walked to the door of his room, he suddenly spoke, "You can also go and rest, this is Wanyan's territory, don't be so careful." ”

Hua Yan, who was following her, frowned, "It's better for the subordinates to look at it, son, go and rest, the subordinates are measured." ”

Even if this was Yan Wu's territory, Hua Yan didn't dare to completely hand over Gu Ange's safety to him.

"You just go and rest, there will be a lot of work in the future, if you don't have a good rest now, what if you encounter danger in the future? I'll be ready in the house, I'm not really helpless, obedient, go ahead. Gu Ange turned around and looked at Hua Yan's eyes with a smile.

Hua Yan was obviously not used to looking at Gu Ange, and avoided Gu Ange's eyes in a little panic, "Yes, that son has a good rest, and his subordinates retire." ”

"Go ahead." Gu Ange nodded with satisfaction, watched him leave quickly, opened the door with a slight smile and went back to rest. Take a look at the latest chapter of "National Color Rippling Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
