The two came to the council hall, and after sitting down, the mayor looked at Wang Lung suspiciously and said, "Why do you still have to close the door?" Are you afraid of being heard? ”

Wang Lung said with a smile: "The council hall is originally a place for meetings, and meetings are to discuss things, and discussing things involves a lot of secrets, how can you open the door, usually discuss some small things, and it doesn't matter if people hear it, but the matter I want to tell you today is important, and it can't be heard by others, otherwise the two of us will not be able to mix in this town." ”

The mayor was surprised and said, "Oh. That's it. What's that going on? ”

Wang Lung said: "This thing is, last night, I gave a sneak attack to a killer, but my life was good, I found out early, and then the killer knocked me to the ground. Under my torture to extract a confession, the killer confessed that the people who hired him to kill me were Long Feihu and Wang Tian, and I originally wanted to let the killer go, but I had a plan, and then called the killer back.

I told the killer that today he was going to come over and play a scene with me to assassinate the mayor of the town, and uncover the ugly faces of Long Feihu and Wang Tian.

The killer agreed.

That's why the killer assassinated you just now. ”

The mayor of the town said with a shocked face, "You said that the scene where the killer assassinated me just now was you and the killer colluded to act?"

Wang Lung said, "Yes." Only in this way can Master Long and Wang Tian be convicted and executed. ”

The mayor said, "What a vicious ploy. But this is how to deal with Master Long and Wang Tian. ”

Wang Lung said, "Yes." But when I colluded with the killer, I promised that I would let the killer go when it was done. So we can't execute the killer. ”

The mayor said cheerfully, "Okay." This matter has nothing to do with the killer, then you go and let the killer go, and I will behead Master Long and Wang Tian. ”

Wang Long said suspiciously: "This is how to behead Master Long and Wang Tian, don't you need to be judged again?" ”

The mayor said: "What else can be judged, when I was on the podium just now, the killer has already told you that it was Master Long and Wang Tian who hired me to kill me, and with this article, the crime of murdering the court official is enough to bring Master Long, Wang Tian and his family together to behead him." ”

Wang Lung was shocked and said, "How can a person commit a crime and affect his family?" ”

The mayor's tone was a little heavier and he said, "I said they were complicit. What can they do to me? ”

Wang Lung gasped in fright, thinking, the system of this great change dynasty is really corrupt enough, it seems that if the common people are not honest and behaved, then the people above have a thousand ways to kill the common people, no wonder Master Long and Wang Tian want to attack him, but they have never dared to attack the mayor, once the matter is revealed, it will affect the entire family.

The mayor smiled and said, "Brother Xian, what are you thinking?" Did my words scare you just now? ”

Wang Lung squeezed out a smile and said, "No." How can it be, the official is to deal with the bad guys and uphold justice for our people. ”

The mayor smiled and said, "Brother Xian, you are right to think so. Although we have the power to be officials, we are not arbitrarily abused. As smart as you are, so capable and upright, the laws of the Great Change Dynasty will not be used on you. Don't worry. ”

Wang Lung smiled and said, "Okay." ”

The two walked out of the council room, it was already dark at this time, and the mayor's mansion had already lit up a big lantern, and there was a rule in the mansion that because there were fewer visitors at night, only some of the servants were left on duty, and some of the servants went back to rest.

In addition, the nature of the work of the catcher and the servant is different, even if the catcher is at night, the people who go to work are basically the same, and because the mayor was assassinated today, the mayor deliberately added some more catchers in the mansion.

Wang Lung, led by the mayor, walked through several corridors and then came to the entrance of the dungeon.

On either side of the entrance to the dungeon stood two catchers, all orange in the light of the kerosene lamps hanging on the walls, looking like two bronze men.

The two catchers saw the mayor of the town, and immediately said in unison: "Hello mayor." ”

The mayor nodded, and took Wang Lung down to the dungeon.

Wang Lung and Mayor Marew walked down an orange staircase to the bottom of the dungeon, where they saw several of the guards drinking and bragging around a table.

The mayor coughed dryly, and the catchers immediately stopped bragging, put down their wine glasses, and nodded to the mayor in greeting.

The catcher who took the lead showed a flattering smile and said, "Mayor, you are so late, you are not resting in the mansion, why did you come to this dungeon?" ”

The mayor said, "There's something to do." You go together and escort Master Long Feihu and Wang Tian to the execution room. ”

The Execution Chamber, which is a special place set up in the dungeon for the execution of prisoners.

The catcher quickly said, "Yes." ”

The catcher quickly walked into the dungeon with a few of his men.

The mayor said, "The killer is in your hands." I'm going to the execution chamber. ”

Wang Lung said, "Yes. ”

The two went their separate ways.

The dungeon was very deep, damp, and not well ventilated, and after Wang Lung walked a few steps, he choked on the dust and coughed dryly.

Immediately, in the depths of the wide dungeon, there were also a few dry coughs, Wang Lung immediately quickened his pace, and after walking another seven or eight meters, he came to the dungeon where a middle-aged man was imprisoned.

This middle-aged man is the killer who assassinated the mayor today, and his real identity is to sell fish boys, but in order to hide people's eyes, he has changed his appearance as a middle-aged man.

Wang Lung took out the key, opened the door of the cell, and then said to the fish seller who was squatting in the corner, "You can go."

The fish boy stood up, walked up to Wang Lung, and said, "Can I still sell fish in the town in the future?"

Wang Lung said, "Of course."

The fish seller said, "Thank you."

With that, the fish boy seller slipped out of the cell in a hurry.

Letting go of the fish boys, Wang Lung came to the execution room, and immediately saw a shocking scene, only to see that the heads of Master Long and Wang Tian fell to the ground, the ground was bloody, and a catcher was putting their heads and bodies in a sack, and then threw them aside.

The mayor of the town, who was sitting above, said solemnly: "Tomorrow, notify Master Long and Wang Tian's family to come here and bring back the bodies of Master Long and Wang Tian."

Take the lead and say, "Yes."

The mayor said, "Then this is the end of the execution."

The mayor stood up, then walked up to Wang Lung, and said, "Is that done?"

Wang Lung said, "That's it."

The mayor said, "That's good."

The two walked out of the execution chamber side by side.
