The lobby of the Castle Lord's Mansion.

When Jian Chen and Tang He followed the footsteps of their subordinates to this time, the city lord Huang Tianfeng had already sat quietly in the hall and waited.

He was full of gray hair, he was already more than one hundred and seventy years old, although he used his secret techniques to retain his handsome face, but he couldn't hide the yellowness in his eyes, and he sat in the hall with a kind of majesty that had been in the top position for a long time.

The monks above the Purple Mansion who failed to break through the Qingxuan Realm were all running around for a happy life about a hundred years ago, and after a hundred years, they began to worry about Shouyuan.

Death is something that everyone doesn't want to face, but has to face.

"Gongzi Chen, I'll send you here, the city lord is in the lobby, and his subordinates will retire first."

Walking to the corridor on the side of the lobby, his subordinates slowly stood on the side and stopped, giving way.

Chen Jian and Tang He also gave gifts to each other, and then walked to the lobby.

When they walked into the lobby, the old city lord pointed to the tables and chairs on the side, and said expressionlessly, "Sit." ”

"What is the matter with Chen Gongzi coming to find the old man?" After Huang Tianfeng invited them to sit down, he picked up the teacup and drank half a sip of tea, with a relaxed demeanor.

"What?"

"What is happening in Bianyang City now, presumably the city lord should know, right?" Jian Chen had a meaningful smile on his face.

"The people of the Wang family, together with Shao Jun, the commander of the City Lord's Mansion, what you are doing now, or what you have done in the past few years, you won't be kept in the dark, right?"

Chen Jian opened his mouth to get straight to the point and said the general meaning of their coming.

If you want to solve the pile of broken things in front of you, the most important thing is to look at the meaning of this city lord, if all this is the old man in front of him who is ambushed in loess with half of his legs, planning behind his back, then there is no need to say anything, it can be said that he ran for nothing.

If not, he can test his attitude towards this matter, and if he can resolve it, he doesn't mind helping the Tang family.

After all, when you go out, multiple friends are at least attacked by multiple enemies, and the road is easier, who would say that a small family in a small border town must not be able to rise?

"I have spent most of my time in retreat over the years, and all the big and small matters in the city have been handed over to the Grand Commander, but what he has done is to represent the meaning of the City Lord's Mansion.

Chen Gongzi is relying on his friendship with the little county lord, and he shouldn't meddle in the affairs of our city, right? ”

As Jian Chen expected, this old city lord would still be partial to his brother-in-law when he opened his mouth, and the meaning was also very clear.

"Healthy competition exists in every city of the Zhao Dynasty, which is conducive to promoting the cultivation enthusiasm of the monks and increasing the strength of the dynasty.

This is completely in line with the development guidelines set by the imperial dynasty for the city, and even the county keeper cannot interfere at will. ”

Chen Jian sighed and said: "The city lord is dedicated to the dynasty, Chen Jian is really embarrassed, originally this matter, I don't want to interfere in the next level, let alone interfere in the city lord's management of the city's affairs.

However, someone pointed the finger at me and wanted to kill me, but I had no choice but to resist. ”

"Oh? And such a thing? Although Huang Tianfeng's tone showed doubts, his expression was still extremely indifferent.

"Moreover, you haven't thought about it, in the years that you have been retreating into the background, the deputy city lord has been keeping to himself, is this a little too abnormal?"

Jian Chen didn't seem to hear his doubt, and then continued his train of thought and continued.

"Why do the people of the Wang family dare to take the huge risk of being known to you, and they have to work with the great commander of your mansion to do these things, instead of going to the deputy city lord who is more sure from that point of view?"

"What's the trick behind this matter, with the mind of the city lord, after a little analysis, you can know it, right?"

After hearing these words, Huang Tianfeng's face finally changed slightly, just as Jian Chen said, he was not stupid, just because over the years, he had focused most of his attention on breaking through the realm, and in a hurry, he suddenly thought of a problem.

"You mean, the people of the Wang family have already cooperated with the deputy city lord?"

The only thing he could think of was this method, to make his reputation stinky in the city first, so that it was not impossible to make a small report to the top, or to do nothing and replace it, and then report it up.

"I don't know about this, now I'd like to ask Brother Tang to tell you what they learned about the Wang family and the deputy city lord."

Chen Jian then threw the topic to Tang He.

Tang He's attitude was more respectful than that of Jian Chen, and he stood up before he said slowly: "Regarding this matter, let's start before March." ”

"At that time, our Tang family's mission hall issued a mission in the Ten Directions Ancient Domain, which was to find a second-order high-grade sycamore spirit grass, which was picked up by a scattered cultivator who was passing by in the city."

"Because this relatively rare spirit grass is something that the elders of the Qingyang Sect need, our Tang family, the Su family, the Wang family, and the people in the Deputy City Lord's Mansion all participated, in order to form a friendship with the Qingyang Sect......

The Ten Directions Ancient Domain, that is, bordering the Imperial Dynasty, and the western border of the Zhao Dynasty, a relatively ancient ruin ruins, with the same name as the Black Death Domain, are all notoriously chaotic places, and the people of the Zhao Jiang Dynasty are mixed together, forming a mixed competitive environment.

"It's been about a month or so, and we haven't found any news of the spirit grass, but we have found a strange thing,

That is the people of the Wang family, who have always been inseparable from the people sent by the deputy city lord, and after my fifth brother personally led people to follow them, he also found that they were in a position that had been carefully settled in the Jiang Dynasty for a long time, and they were communicating with them in a friendly manner. ”

"We don't know what exactly it is, but the three people from my Tang family who went out that time, including the one who was a loose cultivator, can confirm that their relationship is by no means ordinary, and they are obviously old acquaintances.

The one who connected with them was the spy of the well-known Jiang Dynasty in the Ten Directions Ancient Domain, and we were wavering at first about this matter, but at this point today, we must take it out and explain it clearly to the city lord. ”

The voice fell, and the room was silent.

Illicit collusion with the enemy country, no matter where it is, will certainly not be a simple crime, if you want to deal with the parties, you need to get the stolen goods together, the evidence is conclusive, just based on Tang He's words, I am afraid it is difficult to explain anything.

But this kind of thing has to attract Huang Tianfeng's attention, after all, this is not just a crime of one person, if it is not handled well, it is likely to lead to his entire family being connected, and this punishment is unacceptable for anyone.

But if it is according to the two of them, if he makes a move, he will join forces with the Tang family to confront the Wang family and the deputy city lord, and the people of the Su family will definitely choose to sit on the wall and watch.

This kind of situation is not much of a disadvantage for them, even if it is the current cultivation of the deputy city lord, he knows very well that in recent years, he has probably made progress in cultivation due to the obstacle of his mood.

On the contrary, he is the deputy city lord who is slightly younger than 20 years, and he has the momentum of a latecomer, which is another reason why he is eager to break through.

Seeing that he had a tangled look on his face, and that he couldn't answer for a long time, and gave them an answer, Chen Jian also stood up suddenly,

"Since the city lord is still hesitant, then we will retire for the time being, I hope your lord will not make mistakes."

Suddenly, at the moment when Jian Chen spoke, Huang Tianfeng seemed to have thought of a foolproof plan.

If all the people who knew about this matter died, would he summon the deputy city lord to kill him in the name of the deputy city lord, would it be the best way for God to solve the matter in front of him without knowing it?

However, just as he was about to get up and make a move, when Jian Chen turned around and was about to leave with Tang He, he "accidentally" let the token inserted in his belt fall off.

"Clank!"

Fall to the ground.
