"Then we'll go straight to this City Lord's Mansion now? Isn't this city lord's mansion the territory of the city lord just now? Don't you need someone to guard against him? ”

I looked at the guards standing in the City Lord's Mansion and asked with confusion.

"Girl! You don't have to worry about this, the person who went out of the city to greet us today is the new city lord who came to take office in the past two days with the holy decree, and all his people have just followed him to meet us, and now they have all been taken down by Wen Chen. ”

"The new city lord who only came over for the past two days?? Did your emperor of the Northern Ryu Kingdom do it on purpose? ”

"Yes! It was on purpose, and it was only on the way back that we learned that the emperor had issued such a holy decree when he knew that we were coming from the Western Regions, saying that Jia Ren had corrupted the law and the evidence was conclusive, and that he would be stripped of his official position and sent back to Beijing for trial. ”

Hearing Mo Xie say this, I felt very speechless, and asked puzzledly: "Is your Emperor of Beiliu Kingdom an old fool?" ”

Listening to my question, Mo Xie just smiled faintly, but Jia Ren, who was walking in front, spoke: "Madame is very humorous!" However, our emperor is indeed old and confused, especially after he spoiled the fifth princess, he is simply a confused fool! ”

Jia Ren's words were a little disdainful but a little sad, and I couldn't help but turn my head to him and ask, "Senior?" Is the emperor of your country really to the point of being a fool? ”

When Jia Ren heard my question, he was slightly stunned and said, "Madam! Don't call me senior, just call me Jia Ren! ”

"Good! So Jia Ren, can you tell me what the situation is in Beiliu now? ”

After asking my question, Jia Ren glanced at Mo Xie with a little hesitation, and saw that Mo Xie did not have any objection, so he said to me: "Now the situation in Beiliu Kingdom is quite complicated, although the emperor is sitting on the dragon chair, but he is old, his physical condition is not good, almost a minor illness in three days, and a major illness in five days, because of this, the emperor has to selectively entrust political affairs to others to deal with instead, originally this kind of thing belongs to His Royal Highness the Prince, after all, the prince is the prince, It is natural for him to start managing the government first, but the emperor handed over part of the political affairs to the second prince and the fifth princess to take care of together, so that the power of the two in the court has expanded rapidly in the past few years. ”

"Hmm...... Zhao Bao'er and her second emperor brother? ”

It is really strange that an emperor who is not in good health would hand over the government to one of his princesses and a prince who is not an orthodox successor to take care of it! Could it be that the old emperor's illness is also directly related to that Zhao Bao'er?

"Madame, you guessed it right! It was Princess Zhao Bao'er and her second royal brother! ”

"And what does all this have to do with your sudden imprisonment?"

If I'm not mistaken, Zhao Bao'er and the others have disappeared in Beiliu for more than half a year, just like the ink evil. ”

"Huh...... The most taboo person for the emperor after his illness is the master, he even suspected that his illness was that the master had cursed him, so he actually wanted to put the master to death, this time he suddenly sent someone to the border of Yucheng as the city lord, but he just wanted his subordinates to take the opportunity to attack the master. ”

"Start? Under the killer? ”

"Yes! Fortunately, the master had been prepared for a long time, so there was no damage to our people this time. ”

At this point, we had already been ushered into the reception hall of the City Lord's Mansion, where a banquet had been prepared for us.

Mo Xie took my hand and walked into it, Jia Ren followed, and before he could take his seat, Mo Xie's men entered the reception hall, each with a silver needle, and carefully examined the food and wine placed on those tables, and finally concluded that the food placed on the top of the table was not poisonous.

But on the table where the food was to be held, several of them were found to have poison smeared around the edges.

I listened to the report of Mo Xie's subordinates and said a little speechlessly: "No! Did that stupid city lord think that we priests would die if we swallowed a few mouthfuls of poison? ”

Hearing my words, Mo Xie smiled silently, and Jia Ren laughed unceremoniously and said, "That's what they think!" The new city lord sent by the emperor is a fool who has no ability, but thinks he is erudite and talented, and the most ridiculous thing is that he also married a self-righteous wife, and in order to force me to leave the city lord's mansion, he even slandered me in public and insulted her in public! I got the master's order, and I didn't confront them first, so after taking the holy decree and leaving the city lord's mansion, I simply let the woman slander, because it was in the public at that time, although they were called murderous, but the eyes of the common people were not all blind, and many people saw what happened, so they didn't buy it at all for this city lord who just came to Yucheng. ”

"Then, it seems that the formation that greets us today was done by this city lord's mansion, but in fact, the people only obey your orders?"

"Haha...... Madame is right! They thought that they had successfully completed the emperor's entrustment, but they didn't know that I was just waiting for the master to come back, and then observe the situation in Yucheng and Beiliu to cover for you. ”

"So what are you going to do now?" I pressed on.

"Now that the master and his wife have reached it safely, the master will load his head on the road and send it to the emperor in the capital in the name of dealing with corrupt officials, and I will come back as the city lord in the name of justice."

After listening to Jia Ren's words, I looked at Mo Xie with some puzzlement: "Uncle! Is this a trivial matter? Why do you still make such a big fanfare, and deliberately ask me to behave arrogantly, it seems that there is no need! ”

"Girl! Naturally, it is necessary, the emperor wants to play, and we naturally want to play with it, right? ”

After saying that, Mo Xie said to Jia Ren: "After taking care of the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion, kill all of them, put the heads in the box, and I will go to give the emperor a big gift!" Got it? ”

"Yes! Master, subordinates understand. ”

"Hmmm! It's not a big deal, so hurry up and call someone to serve the food, Madame is almost hungry. ”

"Howler! The subordinates will arrange it. ”

After Jia Ren finished speaking, he turned around and left the room, and before leaving, he didn't forget to say to Mo Xie: "Master! I'll go myself, but do you want to close the door for you? ”

Jia Ren is such an old man's image, when he said these shameless words, his face was calmer than that of ordinary men, Mo Xie glanced at him, and simply spit out one word: "Get out——! ”

Jia Ren hurriedly ran away, I sat in the huge living room with Mo Xie, and the other subordinates were also standing guard outside the door, I took Mo Xie's hand and played with it in my hand, and asked after a while: "Uncle! It's not that simple, is it? Why didn't you tell me the truth of the matter? ”

"It's not that he didn't tell you, but he didn't know."

Mo Xie grabbed my hand and said with a chuckle.

"Jia Ren doesn't know either?" I was surprised.

"Hmm...... He doesn't know! He has been helping me take care of Yucheng all these years, in fact, the situation that the lord of a city like Yucheng is my person, there are not many in Beiliu Kingdom, Jia Ren probably thought that the emperor sent someone over just to give me an ugly look, but in fact, the old emperor can't wait, how many cities do I master, even if he doesn't know all, he also understands ** is not far from ten, he just filmed this person who likes to make trouble and has no IQ to come over to be the city lord, the most important thing is to tempt, the emperor is testing the loyalty of these border city guards at the same time, It's also testing my bottom line. ”

"Then uncle, are you going to kill the city lord this time, is it also a warning to the emperor?"

"Hmm...... told the emperor very frankly that if he helped Zhao Bao'er's people to make another move along the way, I would be ruthless. ”

"Can he understand this?" I was at a loss.

"Huh...... Zhao Bao'er's subordinates are Gu Zhai's people, and they know that Zhao Bao'er's attack in our hands is inevitable, but they don't want to expose themselves, and using the emperor to make a move is naturally the best way. ”

Mo Xie chuckled and said, and then he saw that I still wanted to ask something, so he took the lead in sealing my lips, and only when I swallowed the words back into my stomach did he say, "Girl! You don't need to ask too much, I'll show you everything, and you'll understand it all in no time! ”
