Xie Yihuai looked up at them, and said unhurriedly: "You can release the arrows, but it is not up to you to decide who will die." ”

After saying that, he loosened his headband, and the steward was able to speak, and raised his voice, "Don't let go of the arrows, I'm still here!" ”

Nor did they dare to act rashly.

Chu Hantang hurried up and asked the steward, "Did you arrest Miss Chi and them?" ”

The situation is deadlocked.

The steward shook his head in a panic, "Last night, our people brought back a few people, but I don't know if it's the person you said." ”

Xie Yihuai couldn't help rubbing his hairband, and said lightly, "Just look at it." ”

Chu Hantang couldn't help but look at him a few more times, how could he be so sure that the person must be in the City Lord's Mansion, she asked again: "Where is the person?" ”

The steward was at his mercy.

Xie Yihuai tightened the hairband again violently, and sighed with a smile, "If you don't want to say it, then it's better to die." ”

"Wait, cough, cough." A sick male voice mixed with a cough sounded.

Chapter 15: Bathing

As soon as these words came out, those who were lying on the roof put away their bows and arrows one after another, and those standing in the courtyard also placed their blades diagonally, as if they were afraid of accidentally injuring the man who suddenly appeared.

Chu Hantang looked at the other party's face, it was a fairly young face.

But there is no one else who can make these people treat like this except the Fengcheng City Lord.

She knew it in her heart, but she was silent on the surface, wanting to hear what he could spit out of his mouth, Xie Yihuai seemed to think the same way, and the hairband that restrained the steward maintained its original strength, and did not kill him.

I saw that the young city lord was helped from the house to the courtyard.

He let go of his subordinates' hands, raised his hands and saluted them, showing an apologetic smile, "I wonder why the two sons are so aggressive?" ”

The steward struggled to speak.

"Back to the city lord, it was the little one who saw that they insisted on breaking into the city lord's mansion, and brought them in without permission, planning not to alarm the people in the city, and wanted to catch them, and then go and ask the city lord for you."

This is said as if the city lord was completely unaware, and it was his subordinate who was self-righteous and messed around.

Chu Hantang was skeptical, how much power does a small steward have?

The city lord seemed to know why they came here from the mouth of the steward, and thought silently for a long time, and finally understood, "If the two princes must search the mansion, it is not okay. ”

He coughed softly twice, and a few blush appeared on his pale and weak face, weak enough to push a person down with a single push of his hand.

No wonder the people of Fengcheng say that the lord of the city does not go out often.

People who are sick should not go outside and walk around, otherwise they may be lost by accident.

But Chu Hantang still felt strange.

The lord of a city is surrounded by people with vicious methods, such as the steward who seems to be kind but brings them in to kill, but the lord of the city is so easy to get along with and so reasonable?

Are you willing to let the two of them search the house with strangers who don't know where they came from? said that no one believed it if it was not boring, and she was still vigilant.

After speaking, the city lord looked at Xie Ruhuai.

He discussed with a good attitude, "Can this be in line with the wishes of the two sons?" The steward is too old to be tossed too much, so he shows mercy to the two sons and spares his life. ”

The steward was silent.

Chu Hantang also looked at Xie Yihuai.

Seeing that he first loosened the hairband, and then tightened it unprepared, so that everyone only had time to hear a sound of a bone being violently broken, "I'm sorry, I never let go of someone who wants to kill me." ”

The city lord's eyes flashed slightly.

Xie Qihuai took back the headband, hung it around his waist, and looked at the people around him with a smile.

The city lord's hand hanging down his sleeve clenched slightly.

Chu Hantang was in a state of disconnection, looking at the corpse of the steward who fell at his feet, he didn't dare to move, and Xie Qihuai's killing of the steward was also unexpected by her.

But Xie Yihuai still asked the city lord as if nothing had happened, "Do you still let me search the mansion?" ”

The city lord looked at his face, was in a trance, and lowered his eyes, "Naturally, the steward has murderous intentions towards the son, and it is normal to pay the price for this." ”

Chu Hantang really admired the city lord's mind, if it wasn't pretended.

It's not surprising, the rivers and lakes are like this, everyone is just seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and the city lord of a city can't avoid it, in his opinion, he will kill it if he doesn't kill it.

The city lord did what he said and ordered his subordinates to get out of the way for them, but when Xie Yihuai was about to move, he asked a question, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking the two sons their names?" ”

He smiled and said, "Xie Ruhuai." ”

Chu Hantang nodded politely towards the city lord, "Under Chu Hantang." ”

The city lord coughed a few more times, "It turned out to be Gongzi Xie and Gongzi Chu." ”

The steward's body was dragged down.

As they entered, the lord of the castle said in the back, "If you two can't find the person you are looking for today, you can stay here for a few days to make sure that the person you are looking for is not there." ”

After listening to his words, Chu Hantang stopped when he stepped over the door and turned around.

She still maintained everyone's superficial peace and illusion, "Just now the steward said that your City Lord's Mansion did arrest a few people last night, I wonder if you can let us take a look?" ”

Xie Yihuai stood next to Chu Hantang and looked at them quietly.

The city lord generously admitted, "There is indeed such a thing, but those people should not be the people that the two sons are looking for, they just committed something in the city, and we arrested them last night for interrogation." ”

Chu Hantang still insisted, "Then can we go and have a look?" ”

He was not weak-hearted, and said that he would take the initiative to lead them there, "Since Gongzi Chu insists, then I will personally take you there." ”

There are underground cells in the Castle Lord's Mansion.

Chu Hantang followed behind the city lord, the more she walked inside, the more gloomy she felt, and there were gusts of cold wind blowing from nowhere, and her long hair could sometimes be blown up.

Why build an underground cell for prisoners in the City Lord's Mansion?

Don't feel estranged?

Chu Hantang didn't know much about the city lord's brain circuits, could it be because he was always sick and couldn't go out often, so he simply locked up the prisoner to be tried in his mansion so that he could be taken on trial at any time?

There weren't many people in the underground cells, only a few, and it seemed like they had only been caught last night.

All were men, not a single woman.

The city lord didn't like to smell the damp and filthy smell of the underground cell, so he slowly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and his eyes wandered over them, "Two sons, are they the people you are looking for?" ”

Xie Ruhuai's fingertips pressed against the door of the underground cell, but when he touched it, his fingertips became more dirty.

He lowered his eyes, pondering something.

Chu Hantang gave Xie Yihuai a handkerchief, embroidered with the word Chu on it, "You wipe it." ”

Then she went back to the city lord, "No. ”

Xie Yihuai thanked him, didn't look at the people inside, and wiped his hands with a handkerchief.

After taking them to see the people in the underground cells, the lord of the city left.

He said that it was time to drink the medicine, and asked one of his subordinates to entertain them well and take them to search the entire city lord's mansion.

From the high-ranking officials and nobles to the common people, they all know that they can't offend the outlaws walking on the rivers and lakes, and the city lord's compromising every move seems to be for this reason.

From day to night, they searched the entire City Lord's Mansion.

Chu Hantang was so tired that he didn't even want to speak, and sat softly on the pillar beside him, as if he was going to see the king of Hades in the next second.

Xie Yihuai stood in front of a well for some reason, looking down at the bottomless well water below.

At this time, the city lord came out again.

He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xie Yihuai, "I remember that the city lord said during the day that if we can't find anyone, we can stay here for a few days before leaving, can we still count?" ”

Chu Hantang stood up straight.

How many days will you stay here? She didn't have a good impression of this city lord's mansion, she felt that it was terrifying and weird, and she didn't want to live here at all.

But Chu Hantang also knew that this was nothing more than to find Chi Yaoyao and Bai Yuan, Xie Yihuai did things for a reason, he said that he wanted to stay for a few days, so he was sure of something.

So she didn't say anything, and waited for the rest of the story.

The city lord smiled, "Naturally, I count." ”

Xie Yihuai also smiled, and the young man's laughter once made people let down their guard, "Then there is the city lord of Lao." ”

Chu Hantang didn't know what to say, so he echoed a few words.

The lord of the city immediately summoned someone to prepare a room and dinner for them, and he really couldn't find the slightest mistake in treating them, but such a person was either afraid of offending people, or he was very thoughtful.

At night, the City Lord's Mansion is quieter than during the day, only the cries of natural birds and insects.

Chu Hantang went back to the room prepared for her by the city lord after eating, and Xie Yihuai's room was not far from her.

She glanced there before closing the door.

The light was on the opposite side, and he returned to his room one step ahead of her, Chu Hantang didn't continue to look at it, closed the door, and fumbled to light the candle.

There is a bath bucket full of water in the room, and there are quite a few flower petals floating on it.

And there is a brand new set of men's clothes on the Luohan couch, and it is undeniable that the city lord is very careful, and he has prepared his subordinates so well in a short period of time.

Chu Hantang didn't have a sense of security living in the City Lord's Mansion, and he didn't want to strip and bathe here.

But she looked for someone all day today, and she was covered in sweat, and she could smell the smell of sweat when she looked down casually, and her body was also slimy, and she might not be able to stand it if she didn't take a bath.

Chu Hantang checked all the doors and windows, closed them tightly and walked to the bathtub.

Reaching in and probe, the water was still warm, Chu Hantang was very careful with his words and deeds in the City Lord's Mansion, and when he was eating, he also watched Xie Yihuai pick something, and she also picked up what to eat.

The others didn't dare to eat more, but Chu Hantang couldn't eat a bite of meat because of this.

All the food is vegetarian.

You can't let Xie Yihuai help you try to see if the meat is drugged or poisonous, their relationship is not good enough to that extent.

Chu Hantang sighed and covered his unsatisfied stomach.
