Chapter 538: The self-contained city lord of Quanling City

This is not over, the performance of the city lord of Quanling City continues: "Oh, the next official also found out that many of the victims are old and young women and children. Alas, affected by the war, Quanling has indeed been inferior to Chichun City in recent years, and many people want to pursue a better life, so they sneak out of the city, and the lower officials understand, so they have been turning a blind eye to this phenomenon. Unexpectedly, it almost caused a catastrophe. ”

I really know how to say it.

As soon as the cause and effect are reversed, it can be said that the people are forced to go out of the city to survive, and it is said that they are running away. He also portrayed himself as quite noble.

Xia Qingyang and Ren Yi didn't speak, they just wanted to see what else this Quanling City City Lord could say that fell below the lower limit.

"But after all, they are still the people of Quanling, and the lower officials will regularly send people to take care of them. As for this incident, the lower officials will personally investigate it, and the pursuit of the thief will also be carried out in an orderly manner, so please rest assured that Your Highness. ”

It looks like the show is over.

Ren Yi turned his head to look at Xia Qingyang: "Take the things to the city lord to see." ”

Xia Qingyang took out a piece of cotton cloth, hooked his hand, and asked the city lord of Quanling City to come and see.

The city lord of Quanling City was a little unsure of what Xia Qingyang's identity was, but he still stepped forward.

Then, he saw Xia Qingyang open the cotton wrap all at once.

Inside was a piece of rune paper with runes drawn on it.

The city lord of Quanling City took a step back sharply.

Although he immediately realized something and tried to calm down, his first reaction was to betray him.

"It seems that as a parent official of Quanling City who has reigned for seventeen years, the city lord really understands the origin of this talisman paper." Ren Yi leaned back and squinted slightly at the city lord of Quanling City.

"I don't understand, I don't understand." The city lord of Quanling City shook his head desperately with a stiff face.

It was clear that he could still pretend to be flamboyant before this, but after seeing the rune paper, he seemed to recall something terrifying, and it was difficult to control his emotions anymore.

Needless to say, he must have been the one who knew about the sacrifice eleven years ago.

"It's okay if the city lord doesn't understand." Ren Yi suddenly showed mercy and asked Xia Qingyang to put away the talisman paper.

However, as soon as the city lord of Quanling City breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Ren Yi say: "Fan Xi, the city lord of Vena City, seems to be an old friend and colleague with the city lord? I don't know if the city lord has heard about the stabbing death of his entire family some time ago. ”

The city lord of Quanling City trembled violently, almost standing unsteadily.

There was no need for Xia Qingyang to come out, Ren Yi's words broke the defense of the city lord of Quanling City.

In fact, the main reason is that the city lord of Quanling City recently heard about Fan Xi's assassination, and he fell into a thorn in his heart, and he has been unable to sleep and eat.

At this time, Ren Yi was in contact with the incident eleven years ago, and naturally began to think about it by himself.

"Your Highness, does Your Highness know who killed Fan Xi?"

"How do I know?" Ren Yi split his legs, and the smell of hanging erlang came up, "It's just that I happened to pass by there some time ago, and I only left for a day, and I heard the bad news." Tsk, I think it's the killer who has been ambushing, wary of my existence and didn't make a move, and as soon as I left, it was immediately click, click! ”

The city lord of Quanling City shook his body twice with Ren Yi's tone words.

“…… Kill people. You say, "It's a pity, if I had stayed there a little longer, I might have been able to get the Assassin out." Alas, the fate of the Lord of Fan City is not good. ”

After Ren Yi finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, just waiting for the city lord of Quanling City to figure it out for himself.

It didn't take long for the city lord of Quanling City to be frightened by himself.

He fell to his knees with a limp, but still didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Xia Qingyang knew that he was going to take the next dose of fierce medicine.

She took out something and threw it in front of the city lord of Quanling City: "Actually, you don't have to work for the city lord. The identity of these people is here, you just need to send someone to arrest them. According to the following opinion, they must have already lurked in Quanling City, just waiting for the city lord to relax and give you a big 'surprise'. ”

What she threw down was the token that the thief was carrying.

The city lord of Quanling City's face turned pale and slumped on the ground: "Your Highness, the lower officials, the lower officials really don't know anything. ”

"Why should people who don't know anything be afraid?" Ren Yi leaned over and asked him in a low voice.

"Xia Guan just accidentally heard something! Xiaguan is not like Fan Xi, Xiaguan didn't participate in it at all! It's true!!! Ask Your Highness to save the lower official, the lower official doesn't want to die-"

The city lord of Quanling City is a smart man.

Obviously, Ren Yi already knew about what happened eleven years ago.

And judging from the information he obtained, it was indeed just like what Ren Yi said, she had just left from Luo Shucheng, and Fan Xi died.

So if he wants to live now, is there any other way than to beg her for protection like Ren Yi said?

These thieves are back! And he may be ambushed in the city, waiting for him to go back!!

"What did you hear?" Ren Yi's expression suddenly became cold and asked.

The city lord of Quanling City immediately came.

It turned out that eleven years ago, although Ren Fu and Cheng Hong didn't find him, those things about slaughtering the village happened around Quanling City, and it was impossible for him to be completely unheard.

He was scared, so he wanted to pretend he didn't know at all.

It's a pity that once, he bumped into a conversation between Ren Fu and Fan Xi.

Although he didn't hear anything particularly crucial, he only heard Ren Fu ask Fan Xi to help deal with the tail, but Ren Fu looked at the cold expression at that time, and he still can't forget it.

Ren Fu said that let him, as the city lord, help Fan Xi open more convenient doors. He could only say yes.

"Do you believe he wasn't involved?" Ren Yi turned his head and asked Xia Qingyang.

Xia Qingyang glanced at the city lord of Quanling City: "It should be true." If he really participated, Ren Fu would definitely transfer him to his side to facilitate surveillance. ”

This city lord has been safe and sound in Quanling City for so many years, all thanks to his timid and sleek character.

And obviously, Ren Fu also saw his true nature, so he didn't clean him up at that time.

As for whether it will come to extinguish now.

Who knows.

Just now, Ren Yi was just scaring him so that he could speak.

I didn't expect him to be so timid, so he really said it as soon as he was scared.

Of course, that's a good thing.

Ren Yi: "Then did you really help Fan Xi Xing conveniently?" ”

"Of course not!" After the city lord of Quanling City categorically denied it, he hesitated for a moment, "Well, Xia Guan, Xia Guan just helped him buy a few properties in the city, so that he could enjoy his life for a while." Later, he was transferred away, and the lower officials never saw him again. ”

Property?

Xia Qingyang and Ren Yi both heard this keyword.

"Where?"

-

One of the properties purchased by Fan Xi is outside the city and two are inside the city.

Because they weren't sure which one was the corresponding key, after getting the location information of the three properties from the city lord, Xia Qingyang and the others could only look for them everywhere.

However, it took a whole day to dig through the ground, and in the end, there was no lock for the key hidden in the property.

"Are you still not looking carefully enough?" Ren Yi asked, "Isn't it written in the script, and the secret room will only be opened if you play around like this and that?" Are we not triggering correctly? ”
