Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Secret

Wang Hongjun's position as the city lord is not legitimate?

This news was really shocking for Tian Mu, he didn't even react from Lin Yue's words, but kept looking at Lin Yue with wide eyes.

Looking at Tian Mu's expression, Lin Yue felt a little funny, and he even felt a bit like a long-tongued woman, who was talking bad about people behind people's backs. But there are some things that Lin Yue still has to tell Tian Mu, after all, after getting along for two days, Lin Yue also regards Tian Mu as a friend, and Lin Yue hopes to let him recognize the current situation of Yancheng as soon as possible.

"The previous sovereignty of Yancheng was not in the hands of Wang Hongjun, but Zhou Yan, the principal of the S City Military Academy, when the Great Crossing occurred, it was accurate that Zhou Yan and Wang Hongjun organized the military academy students together to establish Yancheng, Zhou Yan was the lord of the city, and the city was also named after Zhou Yan. Later, Zhou Yan disappeared inexplicably, and Wang Hongjun became the city lord of Yancheng. ”

After Lin Yue said this, and adding Tian Mu's own association, he quickly knew what Lin Yue wanted to express: "Do you mean that Wang Hongjun murdered Zhou Yan and came to seize the position of city lord in turn?" ”

Lin Yue nodded.

Tian Mu thought about it carefully, and remembered that he had heard this kind of rumor when he first entered Yancheng. "How do you know this, you've only been in Yancheng for two days?"

Although Tian Mu also treated Lin Yue as a friend, he couldn't accept what Lin Yue said at once.

"I'm more familiar with the situation in Yancheng than you." Lin Yue said: "For example, the first batch of builders in Yancheng are not only the instructors and students of the S City Military Academy, but also have some connections with a gang of underworld in S City, which may not appear in the open now, but they are still active in Yancheng, just take this slave girl trafficking incident, there must be that gang of underworld involved." ”

Tian Mu frowned and did not speak.

"Also, take the matter of Yancheng recruiting middle and low-level members to become reserve soldiers this time, do you know why Wang Hongjun organized reserve soldiers?"

As soon as he heard the reserves, Tian Mu immediately looked at Lin Yue with a stirring spirit and said, "Why? ”

"Just for one purpose!" Lin Yue stretched out a finger and said, "All of you go deep into the Death Forest, explore the Death Forest completely and sweep away those beasts." ”

"Into the Forest of Death!" Tian Mu was shocked and asked, "Are you sure that according to the level of danger in the Death Forest, it is indeed possible to send an army to hunt, but if you want to sweep away those beasts, the sacrifice will be great." ”

"Could it be ......" After thinking about it carefully, Tian Mu said: "The reason why they recruited a large number of reservists was to throw them into the Death Forest to consume!" Thinking that the result might be like this, Tian Mu immediately broke out in a cold sweat and muttered to himself: "No wonder there are not many days of training time since the beginning of recruitment, because they didn't want to train us as regular troops at all. ”

"Can you think about it, what are the programs you have been training for since you became a reservist?"

"In addition to hunting techniques, it's an introduction to the Forest of Death!" Tian Mu said in a low voice: "And the officer in charge of our company has always advised us to go hunting in the Death Forest during non-training hours. That's why our group of people will form teams to hunt in the Death Forest every once in a while. ”

Lin Yue nodded and said, "So you can connect the front and back, and you can understand the truth and falsehood of what I said." And I have evidence to find out whether Wang Hongjun's position as the city lord was taken from Principal Zhou Yan. ”

Tian Mu stared at Lin Yue and asked, "What evidence?" ”

Smiling, Lin Yue turned to everyone and said, "Everyone follow me to meet someone." ”

In the north of the city, a paper house.

This paper house was established not long after the establishment of Yancheng, and the exploration of papermaking is also starting from scratch, and now the quality of the paper made by this paper house is very good, although the thickness is still difficult to solve, but on both sides of the paper, it is relatively smooth, and there are no obvious uneven points.

The number of workers working in this paper house is not very large, most of them are people who joined Yancheng when it was first established, and they have been in Yancheng for a while, so they can find relatively stable jobs.

It is extremely difficult to find a stable job in Yancheng, especially in papermaking, which is relatively easy and not dangerous.

Zhao San is a worker in the paper house, he has been in Yancheng for half a year, when Yancheng was just established and absorbed a large number of people, Zhao San was the first wave of people to join. After surviving the hours of hunting, gathering, and hard work, he was finally able to settle down in a stable job in Yancheng.

But although his life has become stable, Zhao San's heart has always been worried, walking on thin ice every day, and he has been afraid that someone will suddenly appear to arrest and kill him. Because he holds a very important secret, once this secret is revealed, it is very likely to cause a huge change in the entire current Yancheng, and he himself may become a hero or die as a result.

Zhao San is a timid person, although he once fantasized that he would one day become a big hero, but compared to being a hero, Zhao San is more afraid of death, so he has been covering this secret and not daring to announce it.

After the work of the paper house got off work, Zhao San picked up his luggage and left without saying a word to his colleagues. Because he didn't dare to get in touch with other people too deeply, and if he accidentally leaked that secret, he would be in big trouble.

Zhao San, who was walking on the road, also lowered his head, and occasionally he would touch his pocket to make sure that his phone was not lost. Mobile phones have long since lost their usefulness after the Great Crossing, but most people still keep them, but they generally don't carry them with them. It is rare to carry it with Zhao San, and the reason why he has been carrying it is because he wants to keep his mobile phone close to him, and he does not dare to let others touch his mobile phone.

Zhao San, who was walking with his head down, was about to return to his residence, when he suddenly felt that there was someone behind him, he turned his head sharply and saw that there was no one behind him. But just then, a large hand reached out from behind his back, covered his mouth, and dragged him to a hidden part of the street.

"Hmmmm......" Zhao San, who was dragged by someone, showed a very frightened expression, the fear in his heart completely submerged his entire heart, he knew that the secret he had hidden for half a year with trembling might leak out today, and he might die because of it!

Zhao San, who was dragged to a hidden place, struggled for a while and found that it was useless, so he could only lean quietly against the corner of the wall. When he looked up, he saw a tall young man with an angular face looking at him with a smile, and said with a smile: "You should be Zhao San." ”

This tall young man was Lin Yue, and behind him, Tian Mu and several people stood scattered.

"Right...... Yes, I'm Zhao San! Zhao San was so frightened that he trembled a little, he looked at Lin Yue, and stammered, "You...... Who are you, ...... What are you going to do? ”

"Don't be afraid!" Lin Yue squatted down and looked at Zhao San, and said, "It doesn't matter who we are, the reason why we are looking for you is to ask you about something." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhao San subconsciously covered his pocket with his hand.

Looking at Zhao San's subconscious movements, Lin Yue grinned and said, "Looking at your performance, you must also know what I'm looking for you for." Give me that video, you've been hiding it for half a year, so there's no need to hide it anymore. ”

Zhao San paused slightly, then shook his head desperately, and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, I don't know what video you are." ”

"Oops", Lin Yue sat in the corner with Zhao San, and said: "Think about you for the past half a year, in order to keep this secret, you have been living on thin ice, do you want to maintain this life all the time?" ”

Shaking his head, Zhao San didn't speak.

Seeing that he still didn't let go, Lin Yue said slowly: "You said that I already know the existence of this secret, do you think you can still keep it?" ”

Zhao San was stunned.
