Two days later.

Ye Lingtian and Yue Fuyao arrived at Jingchu City.

"Boss, let's have a pot of tea!"

On the side of the street, an open-air tea shed, Ye Lingtian said.

The boss hurriedly brought a pot of hot tea and put it on the table: "Two guest officers, please use it slowly." ”

Yue Fuyao picked up the tea, poured a cup for Ye Lingtian, and whispered: "Childe, have you noticed that this Jingchu City is a little strange, when we came in, the soldiers at the gate of the city were very strict, and there were very few people on this street." ”

When she was on a mission in Jingchu City before, she had also been here a few times, and every time she came, the city was extremely lively, with many pedestrians and vendors.

But this time the situation is different, there are few people on the street, many restaurants and inns have closed, and the huge city seems to be a little inexplicably deserted.

Ye Lingtian said casually: "It is estimated that there is something big, such as the death of a certain big person!" ”

"Shhhh The two guest officers, don't continue to talk about this matter, if the soldiers in the city hear it, there may be big trouble. ”

The boss's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly spoke to stop it.

Ye Lingtian smiled faintly, took out a silver ingot and stuffed it to the boss: "We first came to Jingchu City, we don't know about this, and we hope that the boss will mention it a little." ”

The boss looked at the silver handed over by Ye Lingtian, and his expression couldn't help but be a little hesitant.

He glanced around, and saw that no one was coming, so he took the silver and whispered: "The Sima Overseer of Jingchu City was killed last night, and now there is no one in the city to guard it, and the soldiers are looking around for suspicious people. ”

"Dead?"

When Ye Lingtian heard this, he wasn't too surprised.

The boss continued to whisper: "There is news that it seems to be the behemoth that Sima Overseer has provoked into the rivers and lakes, Tianmen!" In the end, he was quietly killed by the master of Tianmen in the Governor's Mansion. ”

After saying that, the boss didn't say anything more and immediately went about his own business.

"Interesting!"

A hint of playfulness appeared on Ye Lingtian's face, but he didn't expect that he hadn't gone to find Sima Mingfeng yet, and it was really interesting.

With the insistence of Tianmen, Tianmen generally will not interfere in the affairs of the court, let alone run to kill a small overseer.

Although Sima Mingfeng couldn't get out of the matter of his attack and killing, Tianmen would not make a move for such a trivial matter.

What's more, if Tianmen wants to kill Sima Mingfeng, how can outsiders know the slightest rumor?

Yue Fuyao said in a deep voice: "Childe, it seems that someone is deliberately slandering Tianmen. ”

"It's okay, drink tea to moisten your throat first, and wait for the next son to take you around."

Ye Lingtian smiled lightly.

Yue Fuyao looked at Ye Lingtian curiously: "Childe rarely leaves the Heavenly Gate, but how do I feel that you seem to be more familiar with the land of Jingchu?" ”

Ye Lingtian smiled and said, "Probably because this son is handsome!" ”

“......”

Yue Fuyao was speechless, and could only drink tea silently with his head down.

After a cup of fragrant tea.

Ye Lingtian took Yue Fuyao to wander around the city.

The ancient city, the thick city walls, the blue and white stone paved ground, surrounded by various houses and buildings, walking on the street, there is an unprecedented tranquility.

The two walked around for a while.

There was a cacophony of voices ahead, and several soldiers were holding spears around a wizened old man, who seemed to be about to take him down.

Next to her, a little girl dressed in tatters sat on the ground, so frightened that she kept crying.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Xiao Lao'er is just a storyteller running around, I'm not a killer at all, are you misunderstanding?"

The old man begged for mercy with a frightened expression.

"Humph! You know so much about the killing of Lord Overseer, and even though you're not a killer, you know something. ”

One of the soldiers snapped.

Now no one in the whole city dares to mention the death of Sima Overseer, but this old man still committed a crime against the wind, and directly said this matter in the city, simply ignoring them.

"Official, please be gracious!"

The old man knelt down and hugged the soldier's thigh and begged for mercy.

"Get out!"

The soldier's face sank, and the spear in his hand was about to stab at the old man subconsciously.

"Soldier, please wait a moment."

A gentle voice rang out.

Ye Lingtian walked over with a smile.

The soldier frowned, but seeing that Ye Lingtian was dressed extraordinarily, he didn't dare to scold, he just asked, "This son, is there something wrong?" ”

Ye Lingtian casually took out a silver ticket and stuffed it into the soldier's hand: "I don't think this old man looks like a killer......

When the soldier saw the silver ticket, his eyes lit up, he quietly put away the silver ticket, and said solemnly: "This son is right, this old man is as thin as firewood, and he falls to the ground when the wind blows, how can he be a killer?" It's because we're wrong. ”

"Not bad! The existence that can kill the Overseer is naturally extremely powerful, how can it be this old man? ”

The rest of the soldiers were also sensible people, and hurriedly chimed in.

To be honest, it doesn't really matter to them who the killer is.

Now that the dragons of Jingchu City are leaderless, even if they can find the killer? Do you really dare to chase and kill each other?

Are you kidding.

The so-called tracking down the murderer is just a formality, and being able to take the opportunity to make some money is the right way in the world!

“......”

Ye Lingtian chuckled and nodded.

"Brothers, go!"

Several soldiers, quickly left.

"This son, little second brother, thank you for saving your life, please accept my worship."

The old man saluted Ye Lingtian with tears in his eyes.

Ye Lingtian hurriedly helped the other party up, and said softly: "Old man, you don't have to be polite, it just so happens that I also want to ask you something, and I hope you can answer." ”

"Childe, excuse me."

The old man hurriedly said.

"These soldiers said you knew a lot about the Overseer's killing, but I listened to your accent, but you weren't from Jingchu, what's going on?"

"Hey! It's a long story, our grandson only entered Jingchu City today, there is no slightest entanglement in his body, there happened to be a mysterious person found me, gave me some silver, let me speak in the city according to his words, I thought I was penniless, so I agreed to him, but as soon as this was finished, the official came, I didn't think that this matter could not be talked about. ”

The old man said with palpitations.

"I wonder what that mysterious man looks like? Can you describe it? ”

Ye Lingtian looked at the old man.

The old man looked thoughtful: "He is dressed in black, with a burly figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a face full of stubble......"

"I see, there is an old man, but the old man can't continue to talk about it to outsiders."

Ye Lingtian nodded lightly.

"Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, don't talk about it anymore."

The old man said hurriedly.

After a while.

The old man hurried away with his granddaughter.

Ye Lingtian looked at the backs of his grandfather and grandson and smiled faintly.

"Childe is so kind-hearted."

Yue Fuyao whispered.

"What does Fu Yao think of this grandfather and grandson?"

Ye Lingtian asked softly.
