Chapter 275: The Villain

Tian Xiaoding arrived at Hundred Refining City and went to the City Lord's Mansion to try to meet the City Lord Zhou Wenjian. As a result, he was stopped by two janitors.

Later, Xiao Ding took out Zhou Gongzi's golden ring, and the janitor ran inside to report it.

However, Xiao Ding didn't know how the gatekeeper reported to the city lord Zhou Wenjian. It didn't take long for him to see that there was a middle-aged man who looked a little close to Zhou Gongzi, and walked out with a large group of people. As he walked, he shouted, "Who killed my son?"

Xiao Ding Xin said, how did the janitor report after he entered inside? Looks like things are a little different from what you imagined?

While thinking about it, the middle-aged man had already led people to the door, and after he saw Xiao Ding and a few people standing outside the door, he asked Xiao Ding and them in a loud voice: "You guys, who killed my son?" ”

Xiao Ding hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his fists and said, "Dare to ask seniors, are you the seniors of the city lord Zhou Wenjian?" ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Xiao Ding a few times and said, "I am Zhou Wenjian, could it be that you killed my son?" ”

Xiao Ding hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I'm your son's friend, how could I kill your son?" ”

The middle-aged man Zhou Wenjian said: "I don't think it's like it either, just because you are a little monk who cultivates the seventh layer of qi, how can you be my son's opponent." ”

Zhou Gongzi Zhou Libin's cultivation is already in the foundation building period, and in Zhou Wenjian's opinion, Xiao Ding naturally can't beat Zhou Libin.

Xiao Ding guessed that it must have been when the gatekeeper went in to report, but he didn't explain it, maybe what he said was that someone killed Zhou Gongzi at the door, so this Zhou Wenjian hurried out.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, Xiao Ding had no choice but to explain: "Your son was indeed killed by someone, but it was not us who did it. Before Zhou Gongzi died, he asked me to come and tell you that the people who intercepted and killed him included people from Lingyunmen, Luonan Five Ghosts, and Pingyang Four Uniques. At the same time, he asked me to return this ring to you. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Ding handed over the golden ring on his hand.

"Huh? You say my son he's really dead? My poor son, ......, I will only have this one son in my life......" Zhou Wenjian heard Xiao Ding say that his son was really dead, and he immediately burst into tears of heartbreak.

Xiao Ding looked at it in his eyes, and always felt that Zhou Wenjian, who had reached the Jindan stage of cultivation in front of him, was too lacking in concentration, and the whole person was dominated by his own emotions, and he was not calm enough at all, such a person can also be the city lord?

At this time, a disciple who accompanied Zhou Wenjian's side, dressed up, stepped forward and persuaded: "Master, please also mourn and change." Now that he has been killed, let's find a way to avenge him. ”

When Zhou Wenjian heard this, he immediately stopped his grief and said, "That's right, we must avenge my son!" After speaking, he looked at Xiao Ding again and asked, "By the way, just now you said that you didn't kill my son, so who killed my son?" ”

When Xiao Ding heard this, he said in his heart, I told you a lot just now, and it seems that it was in vain.

Helpless, Xiao Ding had no choice but to say it again: "Gongzi Zhou entrusted me to tell you that the people who intercepted and killed him halfway were the people of Lingyunmen, the five ghosts of Luonan, the four peers of Pingyang, and ......."

"People from Lingyun Gate? Lingyunmen is a decent family, how could they intercept and kill my son? Did my son sin against them? Zhou Wenjian said in disbelief.

Xiao Ding shook his head and replied truthfully: "It's not necessarily offended, these people intercepted and killed Zhou Gongzi halfway, just because Zhou Gongzi bought a golden spirit bead in the auction house in Lingyun City, and they just wanted to grab the golden spirit bead." ”

"Jin Lingzhu?" Zhou Wenjian said in surprise, "He actually photographed Jin Lingzhu?" Where is the Golden Spirit Bead now? Was it snatched away by those people? ”

Xiao Ding still shook his head and said, "No, the golden spirit bead is now with me, and Zhou Gongzi promised to give me the bead as a thank you." ”

"Gave you the beads? As a thank you? What do you thank you for? Zhou Wenjian continued to ask, his face full of suspicion.

"Thank you for helping him come to the City Lord's Mansion to deliver a message, and, ah, this storage ring was also entrusted by him to return it to you." Xiao Ding replied calmly, and handed over the golden ring on his hand again.

This time, Zhou Wenjian directly snatched the golden ring into his hand, and then immediately used his skills to destroy the prohibition above, released his divine sense to probe the inside of the ring, and found that the contents were indeed some items that Zhou Libin usually used during his lifetime.

After checking the ring, Zhou Wenjian looked at Xiao Ding again and asked distrustfully, "Did my son really give you the Golden Spirit Bead?" Didn't you take advantage of the danger of others and secretly swallow my son's golden spirit bead? ”

When Xiao Ding heard this, he said in his heart that he couldn't argue with this! You must know that at that time, when Zhou Libin was dying, only his own people were beside him, and those people from the Zixia Sect were fighting with another group of people at that time, and they didn't know the specific situation at that time.

And even if they knew what was going on, they wouldn't have been here to testify for themselves!

How can this be?

Just when Xiao Ding didn't know how to explain this matter, the janitor who was standing not far from Zhou Wenjian's side suddenly walked up to Zhou Wenjian and said, "City Lord, I think this kid is talking nonsense. Maybe it was their gang that killed my son-in-law and robbed him of his golden spirit beads, and then he came here and deliberately pretended to blame others. ”

When Zhou Wenjian heard this, he felt that it seemed to be very reasonable, and immediately glared at Xiao Ding angrily and asked, "Did you kill my son and then snatch the Golden Spirit Bead?" ”

Before Xiao Ding could speak, Deng Feng, who was standing behind him, was a little angry, and suddenly stood up and said: "Our boss is upright, how can we do those villain's things like you?" You should not spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. ”

When the disciple-like person next to Zhou Wenjian heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Who do you say is the villain? You dare to scold our city lord? I think you're getting impatient! ”

As soon as Xiao Ding saw that everyone was tense, if he continued to quarrel like this, he would definitely fight. Although there are a lot of people on his side, the highest cultivation is only in the early stage of foundation building. And the other party's Zhou Wenjian is already a Jindan stage cultivator, and several disciples beside him also have several foundation building stage cultivators. What's more, this is on other people's territory, if your side really fights with the other party, then it will definitely be your own side that suffers.

So, Xiao Ding hurriedly stepped forward and stopped: "Don't quarrel, everyone, the city lord knows right from wrong, and he won't guess." Everyone needs to have a basis when they speak, and they can't really do what they say. ”

Xiao Ding's words, first put a high hat on Zhou Wenjian, praising him for distinguishing right from wrong, in fact, he wanted him to think calmly, instead of believing what others say.

Then Xiao Ding continued: "City Lord Mingjian, your Zhou Gongzi's cultivation has already built a foundation, and it is obviously not something I can deal with, and there are seven or eight followers around him, and his cultivation is not low, how can this be something that our people can beat?" Besides, even if we kill your Zhou Gongzi and rob the golden spirit bead, then why don't we run away, why bother to come here and make a snake more abundant? ”

After listening to Xiao Ding's explanation, Zhou Wenjian frowned, and said suspiciously: "So, didn't you kill my son?" ”

Xiao Ding nodded and said, "Of course not, when I arrived at the scene, Zhou Gongzi was already dying." I gave him pills and injected spiritual energy into him, and only before he died, he entrusted the aftermath to me. As for his Jin Lingzhu, if he hadn't promised me personally, then I would have just escaped with the relics of Jin Lingzhu and Zhou Gongzi, and there would be no need to come here to cause more trouble. It is precisely because Zhou Gongzi gave me the golden spirit bead as a thank you that I came all the way to help him pass the word and return his relics to you. ”

Zhou Wenjian thought silently for a while, nodded, and said: "What you said also makes some sense, if it is normal, a few of you should not be able to beat my son." It seems that the people who killed them may really be the ones you mentioned. ”

Xiao Ding said with certainty: "The people who intercepted and killed your son are not all dead, there are also injured and escaped, if you find them in the future, ask them directly, and you can know the truth." Moreover, we are not the only ones who have caught up with this matter, in fact, the people who are ready to ambush your Zhou Gongzi are not only their waves. I believe that other witnesses will soon be able to spread the word about this throughout the world. ”

After Zhou Wenjian calmed down, he had already realized that it was unlikely that Xiao Ding would kill his son. He was guided by Xiao Ding's train of thought, and gradually began to believe what Xiao Ding said.

However, at this moment, the disciple standing beside him suddenly approached Zhou Wenjian's ear and whispered, "Master, whether the golden spirit bead was given to that kid by the senior brother or not, it's still hard to say." But after all, it was a treasure that the senior brother spent money to photograph before his death, and now it is also a relic of the senior brother. Master, in my opinion, we can't afford that kid, you should bring that golden spirit bead over. ”

When Zhou Wenjian heard this, he thought it was true, and immediately said to Xiao Ding: "I don't care if the golden spirit bead was given to you by my son, since this golden spirit bead was photographed by my son in Lingyun City before his death, it is my son's relic before his death, and since it is my son's relic during his lifetime, then you should return it to me." ”

Xiao Ding grinned when he heard it. Although the disciple spoke in a small voice, Xiao Ding, who had the tip of his ear, still heard it. He couldn't help but vomit in his heart, which god did he offend today? Why are there so many villains behind it?
