Volume 2 Chapter 38 New Forces Settle In

Half a month has passed, and there is still no progress in the murder case in the winding city, in addition to the strengthened defense, the city lord's mansion and the four major families are also anxious like ants on a hot pot, because now more and more voices are emerging, most of them are the incompetence of the city lord's mansion and the like, after all, two thousand lives were so cruelly slaughtered, as city citizens, they have the right to worry about their own safety, the city lord's mansion has not found the murderer so far, which makes it difficult for the ordinary public to accept, so all kinds of voices continue to sound in the city.

"Has the City Lord's Mansion been comfortable for too long, and now it has no ability at all, the time for the two murders to add up has been almost half a year, why hasn't there been progress yet, isn't this irresponsible?"

"That is, as our patron saint, how can the City Lord's Mansion and the four major families who guard this side of the city be like this, the taxes we pay are enough for them to eat and drink for a lifetime, but they are unwilling to do something practical for us!"

"Who says it's not? If something like this happens, we can still eat and drink every day with nothing to do, regardless of the life or death of ordinary people like us, who originally thought that we were worthy of respect, but now it seems that we will not be concerned about the life and death of such ants, even if such a thing happens again, maybe we will not be regarded as any important people!"

Such dissatisfied voices are like the speed at which the plague spreads in Winding City, constantly spreading, and the discussion is intense, and some people can't help but want to crusade against the City Lord's Mansion.

Gu Xing hadn't gone out for a while, although his mind was maturing, but it didn't prevent him from being a child, taking advantage of today's good weather, under the protection of Uncle Ghost and a few guards, he walked out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Uncle Ghost is a thin man in his thirties, the head of the 'Heavenly Guard' in the City Lord's Mansion Zhili Guard, and Gu Ruitian's henchman, his strength has been at the peak of the Little Emperor's Spirit Realm, and since Gu Xing was born, he has become his exclusive guard.

The bustling streets, the sound of selling can be heard everywhere, although the winding city is now in turmoil, but it does not affect the enthusiasm of businessmen, after all, to live.

"Look, everyone, the young master of the City Lord's Mansion has come out!" Seeing Gu Xing and a few guards shuttling through the street, everyone began to discuss.

"I heard that the young master's talent is very high, and he was accepted as a disciple by the Gu Dao Sect. A big man said.

"Gu Daomen, you said that the Taoist temple that is only guarded by nine people, what kind of talent is there. A mortal complained.

"Don't you know, the Ancient Dao Gate is what many spirits yearn for, and many people with high talent can't get in if they want to, you look at the young masters and young ladies of the four major families, their talent is high enough, but they don't have the magic eye to enter the Ancient Dao Gate. Dahan heard the complaints of others, and in order to show his vision, he couldn't help but raise his voice and said.

"Is this really the case? Then I don't believe it, it must depend on relationships, no matter how powerful the Gu Dao Sect is, it depends on the face of the City Lord's Mansion!"

"Hmph, who said that, you know the other three sects, I heard that they didn't dare to mess with the ancient Daomen. Seeing that others didn't believe it, Dahan threw another bomb.

"Hmph, anyway, it's uncomfortable to look at the people of the City Lord's Mansion and the four major families now, no matter what ancient road gate he enters, he can't protect us now, what else is there to do. The bystander pouted.

Dahan scratched his head, thinking about it, and didn't say anything more.

"Sugar packets, Aunt Wang will bring me two sugar packets!" Gu Xing shouted to the aunt who sold buns next to him after closing his eyes and smelling the scent of sugar packets coming from the side.

The person called Aunt Wang looked at the unkind eyes of the people on the stalls around him, thinking of the recent discussion of the City Lord's Mansion, he chuckled in his heart, shook his head, and said to Gu Xing: "Young master, I'm sorry, these sugar packets have been ordered, and I can't sell them to you today." After saying that, he glanced apologetically.

"That's it!" Gu Xing glanced at Aunt Wang, looked at the people on the side, didn't speak, and walked straight ahead.

"This is my mother's favorite Songhua pastry, I want to buy it for my mother. Gu Xing said to Uncle Ghost, and then walked to another stall.

"Auntie, wrap me some pine cake. Gu Xing said to a young aunt at the stall.

"Young master, I'm sorry, this pine cake is a little broken, I'm about to put it away?" the woman said with a smile, and then cleaned up the pile of pine cake in front of Gu Xing's eyes.

"That's my sister's favorite!" Gu Xing ran over, and the final result was the same as before, running several stalls in a row, and everyone didn't seem to have any intention of selling things to Gu Xing.

"Uncle Ghost, what's wrong with them? Did I do something wrong?"

"The young master didn't do anything wrong, maybe the City Lord's Mansion is too good-tempered!" Uncle Ghost sighed and said with a smile.

"Candy store, that's my favorite candy, do you think they'll sell it to me?" Gu Xing asked the ghost uncle beside him, with a look of hope.

"Of course!" Uncle Ghost affirmed.

"The owner gave me two packs of sweets. Gu Xing walked into the store and said to the guy guarding the store.

"Master, that"

"Our young master wants two packs of candy!" Uncle Ghost said to the guy in a deep voice, with a sense of coercion.

"Yes, yes, yes!" the young man hurriedly handed Gu Xing two packets of candy.

Walking out of the store, Gu Xing glanced at Uncle Ghost and said very unhappily: "Uncle Ghost, why are you using spiritual power to coerce that young man?"

"Young Master, do you know the term wall grass?" Uncle Ghost glanced at Gu Xing and asked.

"Isn't it just that the wind will fall in whichever way it goes? What does this have to do with what you just did? Gu Xing was puzzled.

"For these mortals, their lives are like grass on the wall, and when they think that their public opinion has reached a state of autonomy, they will have the illusion that they are right, that they have become the masters of this world, and that is why they ignore you so much. Uncle Ghost said.

"And then?" Gu Xing knew that Uncle Ghost should have something to do.

"The grass on the wall, falling with the wind, the direction of the fall must be because of the strength of the wind, whichever side of the wind is strong, if you have been polite just now, they will think that you are afraid of them, the candy is a small matter, but occasionally you still have to maintain the prestige that should belong to the City Lord's Mansion, and their refusal is only because they feel that public opinion can knock down the City Lord's Mansion, so they will have such an arrogant attitude towards you. Uncle Ghost said.

"I know, but don't tell Daddy what happened when you go back. Gu Xing thought for a moment and said.

"Yes, young master. Seeing that Gu Xing understood, Uncle Ghost didn't say anything more.

The City Lord's Mansion, Gu Ruitian and the heads of the four major families sat around.

"This is also the best way at the moment, after all, the Yunliu family's big prediction technique is recognized as accurate, so asking them to take action this time will be of some help to us to find the real culprit of this murder. Gu Ruitian said.

"This is the method that we all agree on, why does you have a look of embarrassment on your face, City Lord?" asked Yu Susu.

"Because their condition is to settle a part of their forces in our winding city. Gu Ruitian said.

"What, they want their forces to settle in, this will upset the existing balance, who knows what will happen next?" Ling Haotian said.

"I thought about it for a long time, but the Yunliu family has never been involved in disputes, almost all the cities in the Nangong Domain have the power of the Yunliu family, but I have never heard of them fighting for territory, the reason why the Yunliu family has not been allowed to settle in the winding city is undoubtedly because there have been almost no major incidents in the past thousand years, but there have been two murders in this cold and cold, or the murder of the previous person, I don't allow such a thing to happen for the third time, with the Yunliu family's big prediction technique, we can prevent it well, and most importantly, the agreement we signed with him stated that we cannot participate in the power struggle。 Gu Ruitian explained.

"Actually, I don't have any opinion, after all, the entire Winding City now has a lot of grievances against the City Lord's Mansion and the four major families, if the situation continues to develop, we may not be able to end well!" Bu Shaofeng said.

"So this time, we don't seem to have any other choice, after all, we don't have a clue until now, we originally thought it was the Killing Star Tower, but do we really believe in the Killing Star Tower? Gu Ruitian said with a sneer.

"Well, maybe there's no way out of the way, when they'll arrive. Ge Mu Kun asked in his heart.

"Today!" said Gu Ruitian.

Winding city, at the gate of the city, a fluttering flag attracted the attention of many people.

A man in armor and with a calm and cold air rode on a unicorn, holding a large flag embroidered with a bunch of green willows, on which stood a small bird resembling a magpie, no, it looked like a big bird.

"It's the Yunliu family, everyone look at the Yunliu family. The people who entered the city shouted.

"Isn't the Yunliu family the force of 'Fog City'? Why is it here, it's still mighty, as if it's going to move. ”

"Don't you know, because of the murder of the ancient village and the murder of the pupil village, the City Lord's Mansion agreed to let the Yunliu family settle in, because their family's great prediction technique is a divine skill, which can quickly help the City Lord's Mansion and the four major families find the murderer, so that we will have fewer complaints!" A man said indifferently, as if he was very dissatisfied with everyone talking about the City Lord's Mansion like before.

"That's the case, it seems that this Yunliu family is really powerful, in this case, it seems that we should warmly welcome it!" said a mortal after hearing the man's words from before.

Between people, the speed of news is always outrageously fast, and the news that the Yunliu family is going to settle in Winding City has spread all over the streets, especially when everyone hears that the Yunliu family is settled because of two murders, they are even more happy. Therefore, before the settlers of the Yunliu family entered the city, they received the enthusiastic support of mortals.

"It's long overdue to let the Yunliu family settle in, otherwise maybe there won't be a murder in Tong Village, the City Lord's Mansion is really selfish enough. Others said dissatisfied.

"That's right, if the Yunliu family had settled in earlier, maybe even the murder of the ancient village would not have happened. ”

The popularity of the Yunliu family has risen a lot in an instant.

With the arrival of the Yunliu family, the mighty procession marched towards the streets of Winding City, and people automatically stood on both sides, warmly welcoming this force that had not yet brought any contribution to Winding City.
