Chapter 355: Missed
After the standing army took over the military affairs of the city, the three armies in the city also gathered in the central square according to Su Ze's arrangement. Nine centurions killed eight in public, and sure enough, some of them had already started a family in the Gray Elephant City, and for a time their wives and children cried and cried, and there were two three or four-year-old children who threw themselves on the corpse in spite of the dissuasion and cried for their fathers and mothers.
Just when Su Ze and Lu Yongping were about to go on stage and pretend to be blackfaced, they saw Leng Qiu standing on the high platform first, and while summoning a forest dragon in the air, he shouted to the people in the audience: "Listen, I am the Imperial Dragon Knight, passing through the Gray Elephant City, I found that this is the den of Black Cherry, and all the beasts I killed just now are Black Cherry!
Looking at the crowd of people who dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, Leng Qiu immediately announced the reward order prepared in advance, and shouted again: "You low-ranking people have listened to this knight, and those who know each other should quickly confess the remnants of the black cherry, and once verified, there will be a heavy reward! If you dare to shield the thieves and delay this knight to return to His Majesty the King, then I will kill you all, do you understand?"
Under Leng Qiu's deliberate suppression, even with the dragon on his head, many people still made a dissatisfied voice. When she heard a child shouting at the top of her voice, "Isn't Black Cherry human?", she became more and more convinced that Su Ze and Li Shasha's approach was right, but she still had to pretend to be vicious and roared: "You actually dare to rebel against the Imperial Dragon Knight for a few remnants of Black Cherry? If you don't shut up, believe it or not, the old lady will kill you all!"
Accompanied by Leng Qiu's roar, the forest dragon in the air also let out a thunderous dragon roar, which frightened the onlookers to shut their mouths again.
However, at this moment, among the more than 500 soldiers in the central square, more than a dozen of them slowly raised their trembling right hands, and then mustered up the courage to rush to the high platform and let out a heart-rending cry: "I am the black cherry, something is coming at me!"
Then, before Leng Qiu waved the butcher's knife, hundreds of onlookers broke through the defense line of the standing army and rushed to the high platform, shouting in a disorderly but indignant manner: "He is my neighbor, he is not a black cherry!" "He helped me find a child, he is not a black cherry!" "When my small shop went bankrupt, he also lent me money, he is definitely not a black cherry!"
"Uh......h Wow——! "Looking at the scene of the "military and civilian family" in the audience, Leng Qiu couldn't help but burst into tears instantly, crying so much on the high platform that the crowd was so frightened that he didn't dare to advance or retreat.
"Hah...... The tears are so low, what kind of bad guy are you pretending to be?" Witnessing everything in front of him, Su Ze on the side of the high platform was also deeply touched, and then he pulled the sleeve of Lu Yongping, who was wiping his tears, and said calmly: "She has paved the road, go and be the beloved city lord." ”
Under Su Ze's instructions, Lu Yongping came to the stage to replace the tearful Leng Qiu, and then raised his hands and shouted to the soldiers and civilians in the audience: "Lord Dragon Knight said that she has been moved by the folk customs of our Gray Elephant City, and the soldiers and civilians present are all innocent!"
"Oh——!" Hearing the words of the new city lord, tens of thousands of people were jubilant. At the same time, Leng Qiu put his head on Su Ze's shoulder and cried, "Quasi-head ...... That's great...... It's wonderful...... Wow......"
Special circumstances require special treatment, and at this moment, whether it is Li Shasha, who likes Su Ze, or Jin Ming, who likes Leng Qiu, they have not pulled Leng Qiu away from Su Ze's shoulders. Of course, Su Ze didn't push Leng Qiu away, but looked at the smiling faces of tens of thousands of people with satisfaction, and muttered: "From now on, they will be afraid, happy, and awe-inspired, and they will forever forget that they were once a member of Black Cherry." So, if you dare to rub your snot on me, beware of me hitting you. ”
After disbanding the military and civilians in the central square, Zheng Ming took the initiative to mention the more than seventy guards who were locked up in the city lord's mansion, and hesitated and said, "Master, should we treat them equally and let them go?"
Su Ze thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The people who can keep the sacrifice by his side are definitely not ordinary members, I am worried that there are captain-level cadres among them, if they are easily let go, if they are not careful, they will make the black cherry of Gray Elephant City revived......"
"Leave it to us. Before Su Ze's words fell, Jin Ming took the initiative to accept the task, "Even the heartless Xiaoqiu has paid so much, it's my turn." I used to act as the chief of the Imperial Capital Prison, and I am the best at torture, even if it is to maintain the pleasure of this part of the city, I will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, please rest assured. ”
If even the Imperial Dragon Knight can't be trusted, then who else in the Zex Empire can be trusted? Su Ze agreed to Jin Ming's request on the spot, and took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to them, instructing: "When the matter is done, please give the letter to the king, everything in the Gray Elephant City, I have roughly written it on it." If there's anything else you want to ask, just answer it truthfully. In addition, Earl Lu and Captain Zheng performed prominently in this operation, so please say a few kind words. ”
Jin Ming accepted the letter, nodded and said: "The quasi-head of the regiment has cracked a big case, and to exaggerate, it can be regarded as saving the people of a city." His Majesty the King will be rewarded for such a great achievement, so why don't you go back to the imperial capital with us to restore your life?"
"I'm a student now, how can I run around the world?" Su Zewan rejected Jin Ming's proposal, and said casually: "It's not early, I will leave Gray Elephant City after dinner with Sasha, and I'll leave the rest to you." ”
Hearing that Su Ze was in a hurry to leave, Lu Yongping immediately proposed to hold a banquet in the evening to see off Su Ze and Li Shasha. However, Su Ze's temperament is also clear to everyone, so he refused without saying a word, and did not forget to tell him before leaving: "I single-handedly sent you to the position of the city lord, if I find out that you are not as good as that sacrifice, beware that I will tear you off again." ”
During dinner, Su Ze told Li Shasha that he wanted to go to Rhino Town. On the one hand, he really wants to confirm Xiao Meng's situation, and on the other hand, he must get back the silver hairpin that was deceived by Green Yang three years ago!
Li Shasha agreed unconditionally to all of Su Ze's requests, anyway, the top four in the midterm exam all received an extra month of vacation rewards, so there is no need to use it in vain!
After dinner, Su Ze rented a relatively comfortable leopard-spotted donkey cart at the post station and left the Gray Elephant City at sunset. It didn't take long for two leopard-spotted donkey carts with four rows of hanging bells to drive into the city gate, and immediately more than a dozen young men and women wearing Gray Elephant City school robes stepped forward and said respectfully: "The first-year freshmen of Gray Elephant City School, on the order of the principal, welcome Senior Lu back to school!"
As soon as the carriage stopped, two ordinary teenagers with similar appearances walked down from the back car, and then the door curtain of the front car slowly opened, and the one who got out of the car turned out to be Lu Jifeng, who had forced Han Xue in the mercenary stronghold of Capybara Town, and ...... Han Xue?
"Xiaomeng!" The girl who told Su Ze that Xiaomeng was not at school happened to be in the team, and the moment she saw Xiaomeng, she couldn't help but scream.
I don't know if it's because he wants to show his gentlemanly demeanor in front of Xiaomeng, or because the girl who knows Xiaomeng is also quite beautiful, Lu Jifeng actually let Xiaomeng stay and reminisce about the past, and he went to the post station with the two carriages to settle the car money.
After Lu Jifeng left, the girl first glanced at the martial arts brothers who were following Xiao Meng with disgust, and then took Xiao Meng's hand and said, "Xiao Meng, aren't you going to go to school? Oh my God, it's so surprising! If I knew you were coming, I would have asked that little handsome guy who was a little scary to wait for ten more days and half a month!"
"A little scary little handsome guy?" Xiao Meng asked suspiciously, "Who?"
"He didn't say his name, I only knew that he was from Yak Town Academy. The girl thought for a moment and said excitedly: "By the way, there is a beautiful red-haired beauty next to him, and that beauty also hugs a cute and cute white fur ball!"
"White Fur Ball......" The martial arts brothers glanced at each other and exclaimed, "Su Ze!"
Thinking of the thin Su Ze and the "babbling" Qiuqiu in her memory, Xiao Meng showed a haggard smile and muttered prayerfully: "Great, you are still alive......"
