The meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion was already full of people, and when Su Wen's figure appeared in front of the gate, a large number of various characters inside all looked at him.

To say that after all, these faction leaders in Mtase City are like a group of thugs compared to the civilized world, and they exude the aura of underworld forces between their gestures, all of them are big shoulders and round waists, and they are strong and strong. What's more, the enhanced element inscriptions are eager to be tattooed from the toes to the hair, forming an aesthetically devoid body painting.

At this time, they were murderous, looking like they were asking for guilt.

The person he saw was an unheard of face, and the lord of the city, Lucius, followed closely behind, and for a moment there was a boil.

"Who are you!"

"Lucius, aren't you the city lord anymore!"

"Give us an explanation!"

......

The angry shouts came and went, Su Wen coughed twice, and then found that he couldn't suppress it at all, this group of people seemed to have a pure intention to come to find fault, and they didn't have the slightest intention of listening to people.

So he took out a megaphone and said to himself.

"I am the new bodyguard and spokesman of your city lord Lucius, and you can call me Tasuori. Since you garbage is so insignificant, the lord has lost interest in talking to you, and I'll do it for you from now on. So who will tell me what happened in Mtase City to turn the beautiful and neat City Lord's Mansion in front of me into a garbage dump?"

The sound wave of these words was very huge, directly overshadowing the noise of the scene, and had a good mute effect, and the field was silent for a while.

Many bigwigs of the underworld forces probably didn't expect this young man in black to spew feces when he opened his mouth, and even more shamelessly threw back the question they wanted to know the most, and they gasped for a while. But they reacted quickly and launched a fierce counterattack.

A bald-headed strong man stood up and shouted condescendingly: "What happened? It's just a knowingly asking, the city lord's mansion has been closed to the outside every day these days, a large number of people in the inner city have disappeared, and the number of city guards patrolling the streets has surged, so we want to know what happened!"

Su Wen replied enthusiastically: "That's the case, these days the city lord is preparing for the annual full moon festival, when a gala will be held in Mingjing Lake in the inner city, the preparations are in progress at this time, naturally idlers do not disturb." As for the disappearance of the population and the increase in the number of patrols, I know you must be interested, but it is because the city lord, after learning about the increasingly serious social security problems in the city of Mtase, has learned that he has learned that he must be safe before the full moon festival. On the one hand, we have eliminated many underworld forces that usually do evil and endanger the public, and on the other hand, we have also strengthened daily patrols to ensure that a team of five people and three shifts are rotated to ensure the safety of travel during the festival, and at the same time, we are also preparing to implement a curfew policy within seven days before the festival to ensure that every citizen can have a safe reunion festival. ”

This series of resounding official answers spoke to everyone's hearts, and for a while, the crowd was enthusiastic, and people wanted to express their inner excitement.

In the end, a red-faced man in a leather coat stood up and enthusiastically expressed his speech.

"Who are you fooling by this kind of nonsense? Two days ago, the president of the United Chamber of Commerce of Lalan was poisoned and died at home, and all the evidence points to the killer of your subordinates, don't you know what his identity is, this is also to prepare for the bullshit festival?!"

Su Wen smiled and said, "What is his identity?"

"Heh, he's ...... What is his identity, do you still need me to say, the president of the United Chamber of Commerce, but he was assassinated by you, I think this is purely to exclude dissidents!"

"Why don't you say it halfway, okay, if you don't dare to say it, then I'll talk about it. Lalan Truman, the president of the Lalan United Chamber of Commerce, is a native of the Principality of Marda, and he has been scheming in the Chamber of Commerce for more than a decade, monitoring all the movements in Mtase City while plotting to seize the position of the city lord. This is an act of espionage!Are you allowing the free city of Mthase to become a puppet regime of the two surrounding countries?!"

As soon as these words came out, dozens of people present looked at each other with ghostly expressions, and even the red-faced man who put forward the opinion opened his mouth, his face full of disbelief.

"I ...... I don't know anything. ”

Instead, he coaxed.

Immediately afterwards, the atmosphere on the field became a little more weird, until more than ten seconds later, someone finally couldn't help but break the silence.

"A few days ago, the city defense army dismantled the artillery of the city gate tower in the middle of the night and replaced them with new magic guide artillery, how do you explain this?"

Su Wen was not surprised by this question: "The new magic guide artillery? The old-fashioned magic cannon because there is no war all year round, has long been in disrepair, in the first few days of the assault quality inspection failed, has been pulled to repair, these newly installed are to be used on the day of the full moon festival salute, at present are strictly secret, afraid that there are thieves taking advantage of the gap in defense to take advantage of the void, since you have to ask, I can only answer truthfully, and I hope you keep it a secret before the artillery is transferred back. ”

“......”

Three questions in a row were blocked, and for a while everyone looked at each other again, as if they could no longer ask any valuable questions. They seemed to have a thousand words to ask, and each one of them seemed to be as uncomfortable as being constipated, but at this time, they couldn't help but start to retreat and waver, and no one stood up and spoke for a long time.

"It seems that there is nothing wrong with you, so let's stop here for this press conference, thank you for your support, please come back. ”

Su Wen chuckled and nodded to Lucius, who had been silent, and motioned for him to go.

"Wait!"

The moment he turned around, he finally heard angry shouts again. When he turned around, he saw a tall, thin man standing up.

This man seemed to have mustered up the courage of his whole body, and asked here: "Since we have arrived here, we will not talk darkly, and stop beating around the bush." Lucius, tell us honestly, who are you doing for now?The Siwai Empire has been in contact with the Duchy of Marda in the last few days, and their Magister will soon come to Mtase City, and if we are still kept in the dark and not united, we won't even know how to die by then!"

Before he finished speaking, Lucius, who had always been silent, looked at this person with sympathetic eyes, but after all, he did not choose to speak, as for Su Wen, he came to this person, looked up and down a few times, and then ......

He scratched his hair and said in confusion: "What is this person saying, why can't I understand it for a while, does the city of Mtase have anything to do with the Xihuai Empire and the Principality of Marda, why did they send the Magister over, can anyone here explain the principle to me in detail?"

Silent......

Only the person in front of him seemed to be out of the way, stiffened his neck and continued: "Don't continue to pretend to be garlic, who doesn't know that Lucius is the dog of the Xihuai Empire." Now that the dog chain is broken, it is definitely not bitten off by the dog itself, there is someone behind it, who is this person, are you? Maybe you are not afraid of the retaliation of the Xihuai Empire and the Marda Empire, but it is we who break the rules and finally suffer the bitter consequences, and even suffer the catastrophe!"

Su Wen was shocked, and he also looked back at Lucius: "Lord City Lord, he said that you are from the Xihuai Empire, is this true?!"

Lucius's face was gloomy, but he replied categorically, "It's nothing. ”

"Okay, this man is suspected of slander, guards, take him down. ”

The tall and thin man's scolding faded away, leaving behind a room of baby-like leaders of the major powers, and it was hard to imagine that they had been so excited that they wanted to demolish the building just a few minutes ago.

"If there is nothing to do, let's disperse, if nothing else, the invitation to the full moon festival gala in half a month will soon be sent to you. ”

Su Wen ended the meeting with a cheerful voice.

......

Ten minutes later, in the quiet office hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Su Wen looked at Lucius with gray sideburns in front of him.

"You took the initiative to find these people. ”

Su Wen said suddenly.

Lucius' eyebrows twitched, but then he smiled.

Su Wen continued: "You are not only testing me, but also forming a group to test me, if you want to know something more in-depth, just ask directly, there is no need to beat around the bush." ”

Lucius said: "Mr. Tasuri, please understand, I have been running the city of Mthase for more than 30 years, and I know everything in the city. Although the two empires have always controlled the city of Mtase, they do not dare to have too much contact with this place, and will only contact people in high positions like me, and all these people who are on my list are now no longer alive, and the rest of them are still alive and well, and many of them have many old friends who have been friends with me for decades, as long as I have a word, they are all their own people. ”

"How can you be sure they're all clean?"

"No, the two empires have been operating in Mthase City longer than I have. In the group of people just now, I can't guarantee 100% that any of them are innocent, and at the same time, I can be sure that some of them must have slipped through the net on my list, and these people's worries about their situation are not unreasonable, and there are bound to be people who use this to incite them to come to me for questioning, since this kind of thing is bound to happen, it is better for me to preemptively strike. ”

"Pull me up and let me fool them, and now you're happy with the result?"

"Whether I'm satisfied or not is not worth mentioning, but this must be done by you, it is likely that a large number of spies from the two empires have infiltrated Mtase City these days, and these spies may have a Magister-level existence. Although they did not dare to show up blatantly, if they did not have the power of the same magister level to make them feel jealous, then they would definitely not mind quietly taking back the city of Mtase. ”

"Like I did to you?"

"Haha. ”

Lucius laughed dryly, not denying it.
