"Why are you here?" Libatu asked. Welcome to Reading //

The mayor of the town helped them answer Libatu's question, and said: "If they weren't here, how would they know about your bribery of me, they are the ones who testified on this matter, Viscount Ling, I advise you to put away your money quickly, otherwise I will truthfully report this matter to my superiors and remove your viscount title!" ”

The laws of the empire are still very strict, although the nobles have a lot of privileges beyond the poor, but once they commit crimes, it is not easy to escape the crime, the current emperor is very dissatisfied with the corruption of the nobles, and often because of some trivial things, they can be redone.

Li Batu didn't expect that the mayor and the three of them would collude, waiting for him to throw himself into the net, bribery is a big crime, if it is really reported to the emperor, his title will really be gone!

Quickly closed the lid of the box, Li Batu hugged it, and said before turning around: "Okay, even if you are ruthless, I admit it, but what kind of result the matter will be in the end, you wait and see!" ”

"Time is only, only justice!" The mayor of the town uttered his own motto: "Don't think that if you have money, you can act against the sky, you can't fake it, you can't fake it!" ”

Hahaha, the hearty laughter of the three of them rang out after Libatu left.

……

Three fast horses, the patrol captain with two team members, galloped all the way towards Liuye Town, followed by two horses, it was the butler of Libatu and a subordinate, in the sky, Ling Xiaotian flew very comfortably with Helian Xiyue's soft waist.

"Brother Tian, why would someone follow the person who went to collect evidence? Why should we follow them? Helian Xiyue asked a little incomprehensibly.

Ling Xiaotian smiled and said, "It's very simple, because Li Batu wants to do something from it!" Let's put an end to them from getting in the way, so that Li Kangyong can get the punishment he deserves, so that the Li family will never dare to touch the ghost again! ”

"Hehe, it's going to be fun!" Helian Xiyue clapped his little hands and said.

Ling Xiaotian decided to go to Willow Leaf Town first and wait for them, flapping his wings and speeding up to fly over there.

……

In the afternoon, when the sun was about to set, the people who got up arrived at Liuye Town, and Ling Xiaotian and Helian Xiyue had already walked around here, and had eaten lunch and dinner comfortably, and were now sitting on the second floor of a teahouse on the way into the town, looking at the scene outside.

Walking to the bottom of the teahouse, the captain instructed the two team members, saying: "You go to a crowded place to inquire, I will go to Ma Dashan to ask for a contract, meet here in half an hour, and return to Qilin Town after a full meal!" ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Ling Xiaotian looked at the three people who ran away and followed the two, and said with a smile: "The people in the patrol team still have a certain degree of efficiency, and after half an hour, we should also act, Yue'er, before you came, you said it, listen to me for everything!" ”

Helian Xiyue said very obediently: "Of course, Yue'er listens to Brother Tian's words the most!" ”

Half an hour passed quickly, and the captain arrived at the rendezvous point first, and the two team members arrived a few minutes later.

"Is everything done?" The captain asked, and the two team members nodded and replied, "I have inquired clearly, those people are indeed mercenaries here, and when they went to Qilin Zhen, they also told many people who were also mercenaries that they had taken the task!" ”

"Well, I also have the contract signed by the Li family and Ma Dashan! Let's go to Yipinzhai to eat, I know that the food there tastes very good, and it is not easy to go out of the door, and it is generally worthy of my mouth! The captain smiled and said, "When I go back, I will tell the mayor that we will have a good meal today!" ”

"Thank you, Captain!" The two team members said happily that in Qilin Town, they should pay attention to the image of an emperor everywhere, eating and drinking is absolutely not allowed, eating and drinking is a big pot of rice every day, and there is rarely a chance to fight for the tooth sacrifice, except for every time they go out on business, so when there is such an opportunity, they always compete for hope to fall on their heads.

The two people standing not far away glanced at each other and went to Yipinzhai first.

Ling Xiaotian stood up, shook his head and said, "It turns out that the best meal is Yipinzhai, Yue'er, are you still hungry, I invite you to eat again!" ”

"I'm not hungry, I've just finished eating for a while!" Helian Xiyue tilted her head and said, "If it's dessert, I'll consider eating a little bit!" ”

"Okay, let's have dessert!" Ling Xiaotian took Helian Xiyue to Yipinzhai as well.

Yipinzhai's business is really good, at this time it has been past the meal, there are still a lot of people eating inside, three soldiers walked into the door, immediately a guy greeted him, asked: "Three, are you eating?" ”

"Well, find a clean table!" The captain pointed to the table in the corner of the hall and said, "That's it!" ”

"Excuse me!" The guy smiled and said, "That table has been booked in advance!" ”

"Then change it, and the one next to it will do the same!"

"That's also decided by someone else!" The guy suggested: "Why don't you three go upstairs, there is a private room upstairs, the environment is elegant, and you can see the scene on the street, what do you think?" ”

Private room? If you don't say such a good thing earlier, the captain thought to himself that he had been here several times before, and there was no spare private room at all, and today he was so lucky, the table in the hall was fixed, but the private room was empty, so let's go up!

After ordering the dishes, the three of them ate and drank violently, Ling Xiaotian and Helian Xiyue sat in the room next to them, the two of them ate the dessert without a bite, and listened to the movement next door with their ears pricked up.

When he was full of wine and food, the captain shouted, "Man, check out!" ”

The guy walked in with a smile on his face and said, "Three, your account has already been settled!" ”

"Someone's knotted?" The captain was taken aback, thinking that he had no acquaintances here, and there were no acquaintances when he came up just now, who settled the account, so he couldn't help asking: "Who settled it, is it a mistake?" ”

"Absolutely, yes!" The butler of the roe head appeared at the door, and the man walked away with a smile, and hugged his fist at the three of them.

The captain felt that this man was familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen him, and asked, "We don't seem to know each other, why did Brother Tai pay for us?" ”

Ling Xiaotian now understood that all this was arranged by this housekeeper, and he deliberately asked the guy to say that the table below had been booked, and then asked them to go upstairs, because many things are difficult to do in public, and it will be different if you change to a private room.

"Hehe, let me introduce myself first!" The housekeeper smiled and said: "I am the housekeeper of Viscount Li's family, my name is Li San, I usually hide in Qilin Town and walk around, I know you, you are busy with various things every day, it is normal not to know me!" ”

"The housekeeper of the Li family!" The captain's face immediately changed, and he said, "Say, what's the matter with you?" ”

The housekeeper Li San sat opposite the captain and said, "Our master, I want to ask you for a favor, of course, not in vain, after the matter is completed, each person will worship three gold coins as a reward!" ”

"What's the busy?"

"Give me the contract you got Captain!" Li San lowered his voice and said, "Then bring back this one in my hand, as long as the young master of my family is fine, in the future, when the New Year is celebrated, a tea money for the three of you will be indispensable!" ”

The captain's brows were twisted into knots, and they all said that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, he has been with the old mayor for many years, and he is also a person who is jealous and hateful and never accepts bribes. Dude, how much is this meal! ”

"Don't, look up and don't look down!" Li San hurriedly said: "Three, if you think that the money I give is small, but after discussion, three hundred is not enough, then four hundred...... Not yet, five hundred ......."

"Tell you, not only will I not accept your money, but I will also report your bribery to the mayor of the town!" The captain grabbed Li San's collar and said word by word: "I'll tell you again, money has no effect on me, let's die of this heart, what do we think we are!" ”

Li San hurriedly lost his smile and said, "You dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger!" If you don't agree, you won't agree, you don't need to make such a big liver fire, don't you, you three dissipate your anger, man, don't hurry up and serve a pot of tea! ”

The guy Ma Shan ran over with a pot of tea, and shouted as he ran: "Tea is here!" ”

"Who drinks your tea!" The captain still didn't appreciate it.

"Don't, that's it, you can give the money for this meal, and the tea is what I invite the three of you to drink!" Li San's eyes rolled and said: "I know that all the people in your patrol team are good people who are as clear as water and as bright as a mirror, I just invite you to have a cup of tea, this is not a bribe after all, it is my fault to make you angry like this, you give less face!" ”

A patrol soldier smiled and said, "Captain, let's have a drink, the big housekeeper has said it, give him some face!" ”

"Thank you!" Li San immediately stood up and said, "Then I won't bother you, you three use it slowly!" ”

Ling Xiaotian next door felt very puzzled, it was obvious that Li San had been instructed by Li Batu to come here to bribe the three patrols, but now it was not successful, he retreated, once the evidence was sent to Qilin Town, it was the Heavenly King Laozi who came, and he Li Kangyong did not want to get away with it.

"That's because there's poison in the teapot!" The voice of the old immortal sounded in Ling Xiaotian's mind.

"What, the tea is poisonous?" Ling Xiaotian said in surprise: "That Li Batu is also a seed, he actually attacked the emperor ** who went out to collect evidence, even if he felt sorry for his son, he couldn't do such a brainless thing!" ”

"Who said it was a poison that can kill people!" The old immortal explained: "Yes, a colorless and tasteless one, as long as the three of them are charmed, won't they be able to destroy the evidence, and if there is no evidence at that time, they will not be sentenced!" The three soldiers can only suffer a dumb loss, it is obvious that the guys here have already been bought by Li San, even if they wake up and report this incident to the mayor of the town, the guys will not testify for him, this is a private room again, no one except the guys knows what happened inside, and it is a thing without evidence, this is Li San's trick! ”

It turns out that this is the case, Ling Xiaotian suddenly realized, this guy Li Batu is really a dangerous person, such a plan can be thought of, look at how I am bad for you, master!
