Chapter 81 Listen to the Root of the Window
We stood on the staircase on the side of the stairs, and to outsiders it looked like two ordinary staff members talking in the corridor, Zhang Hanwen asked me, "Do you believe what the mayor said?"
"Hmph, how is it possible, he hasn't said a word to believe since he entered his office!" I said, squinting.
"Hahaha, you have the preconception that he can't tell the truth from the beginning, right? At least I hear that he basically tells the truth!" Zhang Hanwen said to me with a smile.
"You ......" Before I could say anything, I saw that his eyes seemed to be different from usual, and it turned out that he didn't believe the mayor's nonsense, but he didn't say it like this.
"Forget it, let's go back, it seems that we have to find a way from somewhere else......" I said and wanted to go back, but I hadn't taken two steps yet, and before I finished speaking, my people were pulled aside by Zhang Hanwen, looking at his nervous expression, it seemed that he saw someone.
Zhang Hanwen whispered to me, "Don't look back, Feiteng man!" After speaking, as if he was talking normally, but the corner of his eyes kept staring at the staircase.
I looked over from the corner of my eye, where a middle-aged man who looked like an obscene man walked up, Zhang Hanwen whispered: "This person is Yan Shifan's henchman, but he is not a mercenary, he is in charge of logistics affairs, I heard that he also does some dirty things, seeing him, I seem to have a little understanding of our current situation." ”
I nodded, and just as I was about to say something, Zhang Hanwen said again: "Look, that kid has entered the mayor's office, if only I could know what they said." ”
I sighed slightly, this is the city hall, it is obviously impossible for us to go to the crack of the door to eavesdrop, I turned my head to look out the window, the sky was full of clouds, it looked like it was going to rain. Just as I was looking back, I saw a tree outside the window, and I said to myself, "Yes, tree, I remember there was also a tree by the window of the mayor's office!"
"Yes, there is indeed a tree by the window of the mayor's office! Commander, you don't plan to climb a tree!" Zhang Hanwen glared at me, looking at me in disbelief.
"Why not?" I rushed downstairs, but fortunately, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and there were not many people who came to the city hall to run errands, and not many people saw me running in a hurry.
When I came to the yard, I first identified the direction, determined the direction and was about to run over, only to find that even if there were not many people who came to do things, there were still people, many people were looking at me, I scratched my head embarrassedly, and smiled apologetically to those people, those people didn't know me in the first place, and now it's just to see why this kid is crazy, seeing that I am obviously back to normal, naturally no one has much to do to watch me, they still have something to do.
I returned to my normal pace, and it looked like I was wandering around, and I slipped downstairs to the mayor's office, and there was a tree here, and it was very large, and it seemed to be quite old, and it may have been planted when the city was built, so it was quite leafy, and although it was late autumn, the leaves on the tree showed no signs of falling except for the yellow spots.
By the time Zhang Hanwen found it, I had already climbed up the branch of the tree, hid on a branch with his back to the mayor's office, and looked at the movement of the office nervously with half of my face exposed.
Zhang Hanwen stood at the bottom of the tree and looked up, but this is a small corner of the city hall compound, there is usually nothing here, but it is quiet, the advantage is that it is not easy to be found, he saw that I had already worked, and he did not make a noise, just under the tree for me to watch the wind.
Naturally, I used the ability I took to probe the magic into the office, these two people are ordinary people, and I was blocked by the branches, and they couldn't find me, and as soon as my magic came into contact with them, I immediately understood what they said.
“...... My lord, our head of the regiment said, this matter is done, and I will give you this number!" the flying man stretched out a hand to the mayor and shook it.
"It's not about money, the head of the Eye of the Storm came to me today, what we did to those refugees, they have become vigilant, what else can we do? Now they have arranged those refugees in the ruins of the orcs outside the city, we can't handle it! Besides, they have made it clear that those people are the reserve force of their regiment, and we can't move them anymore!" the mayor said in embarrassment.
"Those poor can't move, aren't there still a large group of citizens? Those people are not Yecheng people in the first place, they are just a group of small citizens who hid in the city because of the orcs, and few of them have a foundation here, we can move these people! Just post a notice asking them to move out of the northwest city by tonight, where the Eye of the Storm mercenary group will make overall plans, tomorrow morning, they can't move out overnight, tomorrow morning, I will find some people to pretend to be people from the eye of the storm to drive them away.
Those people will definitely not move like this, we will injure a few more, as long as we don't kill them, and when the time comes, this account will naturally be on the head of the eye of the storm, and they will go to the eye of the storm to make trouble, I will arrange for people to mix in, find a way to make them conflict, and kill one or two more, even if this feud is settled, you come forward at this time, won't those guys in the eye of the storm be washed with you?"
"Is this okay?" I heard that there would be deaths, and the people of this city were quite a little sensible, and asked timidly.
"No problem, those people in the eye of the storm can't find it, and even if they do, those people who have been kicked out of their homes don't have the reason to listen to the arguments of the people in the eye of the storm, as long as they are agitated, the rest of us just need to control the direction for the people, and we don't even have to come forward!"
"Okay, just try as you say!" The mayor is really a fool, he wants to calculate me for some money, count him unlucky, I don't need to know the other details, I got down from the tree and said to Zhang Hanwen: "These guys want to plot against us." ”
"What's going on?" Zhang Hanwen hurriedly asked.
"Let's go back and talk as we go. "I looked left and right, no one paid attention to us, we quickly got out of the city hall, and after getting into the carriage, I said to Zhang Hanwen: "They moved our reserve regiment, but they didn't make any movement, and when they saw us coming back, they wanted to get a bigger one, they wanted to drive those citizens out and blame us!"
"These bastards!" Zhang Hanwen slammed his hateful fist on the window lattice.
"Lao Zhang, what do you say we should do!" I asked Zhang Hanwen, and then I told him the original words I had heard.
