59 Revealing the True Colors
As soon as Xie Yixiang's words came out, the back hall of the entire yamen suddenly became silent. The rough breath of Mayor Wu www.biquge.info, who was originally gasping slightly, seemed to solidify in an instant, and there was no longer the slightest sound.
You must know that although Xie Yixiang's words are well-founded, after all, they are not nine out of ten, in the final analysis, they are just using words to "deceive" Mayor Wu. Perhaps the flowery-faced black-robed monster was not Mayor Wu himself, but his subordinates or accomplices, and only then did he see that he had found the missing chronicle of the year when he was flipping through the "Red Dragon Town Records", so he relayed the matter to Mayor Wu. Since ancient times, the way of officialdom has been to crush people to death at the level of officials, Xie Yixiang is now in the name of the imperial court, and dealing with an unpopular sesame mung bean official like Mayor Wu, it can really be described as unscrupulous and mocking, not to mention "cheating" him with cruel words?
However, seeing Mayor Wu's reaction, it was clear that he was right by his own words, so he stood on the spot, and he didn't know if he planned to confess his guilt immediately or turn his face on the spot. Xie Yixiang was overjoyed, and was immediately surprised.
"Happy" is that his own flash of inspiration in an instant, he actually guessed that this Mayor Wu was indeed the flower-faced black-robed stranger last night, and he had deliberately dripped saliva on his head and neck, which was really disgusting;
But what surprised Xie Yixiang was that after several battles between the Yao family's ancient mansion and last night, the martial arts of the flower-faced black-robed stranger were clearly far superior to his own, and if it weren't for the mercy of the other party's subordinates, how could he have survived until now? If the mayor of Wu in front of him was indeed the flower-faced black-robed stranger, if he suddenly turned his face ruthlessly, he was afraid that he would be able to take his life as soon as he made a move.
At this moment, although Xie Yixiang had already explored the danger in front of her, she was at a loss and had nothing to do, so she had to hold her waist tightly. But seeing that the silent Mayor Wu suddenly smiled, and said with a little flattery: "My lord is laughing, why did you come to make such a joke with Xiaguan again? You must know that Xiaguan stayed at home last night, only waiting for the call of the adult, and never stepped out of the door half a step. How can you find trouble with adults in the yamen?"
Hearing Mayor Wu say this, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said in her heart: "In a moment, your fox tail has already been exposed, what else is there to pretend at this moment?"
Although she is young and impulsive, and she has not been deeply involved in the world, she has grown up in the environment of the imperial court in the capital, and what kind of big slippery head and old fox have not been in contact with? With Xie Yixiang's current ability, even if she does not have the means to "subdue demons and subdue demons", her eyesight of "recognizing demons and distinguishing demons" is not a problem. In comparison, although the mayor Wu in front of him is also a shrewd and cunning person, and his martial arts are also terrifying, but he can only deal with those ordinary people in Chilong Town all day long, first, he lacks experience, and secondly, he lacks experience, so if he really wants to talk about playing official and playing tricks, Mayor Wu is afraid that he is not as good as a little girl like himself.
When Mayor Wu saw that he had finished saying this, Xie Yixiang in front of him did not react, and he didn't know whether he should admit it calmly or continue to pretend, so he had to call "adult" a few more times, wanting to remind Xie Yixiang to answer. Xie Yixiang had a little plan, it was better to take this opportunity to deceive him a few more words, and see if he could get more useful things out of the mouth of this Mayor Wu.
At that moment, Xie Yixiang said with a calm face: "Wu Yurong, you are just the identity of a county minister, and you actually dare to attack the imperial court and commit the following crimes, do you know what the crime is?" Without waiting for Mayor Wu to answer, she changed her tone, and then said: "But you should also know that this official's visit this time is extremely secretive, and as for the reason, you have probably guessed one or two at this moment." Yes, the left and right are the affairs of the imperial court, as long as you know and I know, as long as you and I do not delay the affairs of the imperial court, whether it is the back hall of the yamen last night, or the ancient house of the Yao family a few days ago, the official can no longer pursue these small things, and it is actually the best to keep quiet. ”
Her words can really be described as "digression, I don't know what to do", which at first glance sounds unfathomable, but in fact, she didn't say anything. However, these words were very useful to Mayor Wu, and he immediately took the bait, subconsciously deciphering the meaning by himself, and immediately asked, "My lord...... Isn't it true that your lordship has already known that?In this case, is it really the intention of the imperial court to come here?" After a pause, he shook his head again and said, "No...... The emperor had an agreement with us that he would ...... in his lifetime" Speaking of this, Mayor Wu seemed to suddenly wake up, and quickly closed his mouth, his face was full of remorse, and he didn't dare to say anything more.
It's a pity that the arrow from the string can't be recovered, let alone what it says? Since Mayor Wu said this, how can he hide it from Xie Yixiang? Xie Yixiang hurriedly suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and secretly speculated: "How can even the emperor be involved in a small Red Dragon Town?"
She immediately remembered her speculation last night, Qu Baoshu, the former head of the Chaoyin Cave, said that more than ten years ago, the emperor had decreed to build a temple on the shore of Poyang Lake, but in the end, for some reason, the matter was not resolved, and the account of the year missing from the "Chilong Town Chronicle" in the drawer happened to be eleven years ago, and the two coincided in time. In addition, the latest eleven bones in the Yao family's ancient mansion are most likely people related to this matter, and each of the bones has been disfigured, just to completely cover up this matter.
Thinking of these, it immediately coincided with the "Emperor's Agreement" mentioned by Mayor Wu at this moment. Xie Yixiang knew that with the current emperor's resolute methods, if he was to cancel his plan, the only possibility was that the emperor suffered a big loss on the shore of Poyang Lake, and even made him, as the king of a country, unable to retaliate at all, so that he could finally make an agreement with others as Mayor Wu said.
As for the people who made a contract with the emperor, according to the current situation, on the shore of Poyang Lake, there are only those mysterious black-robed people. But Xie Yixiang still didn't know what kind of force was behind these black-robed people until this moment, including the mayor of Wu in front of him, since he was the flower-faced black-robed monster who had dealt with him twice, he was naturally one of the mysterious forces.
You must know that all these inferences are just between lightning and flint, and Xie Yixiang has at least figured out the outline of the bamboo, even if she is not confident at the moment. He immediately followed Mayor Wu's words and said slowly: "Yes, the emperor did have an agreement with you eleven years ago, but it was eleven years ago after all. The current situation is naturally different again, Mayor Wu, do you say yes or no?"
At this moment, although Xie Yixiang already had an assumption in her heart, she didn't know the details after all, for fear that she would accidentally say the wrong thing, which would attract Mayor Wu's suspicions. Therefore, the only thing that can be determined is the year that was lost in the "Red Dragon Town Chronicle", as long as you insist on the time node of "eleven years ago", then there will be no mistake.
Sure enough, when Mayor Wu heard her say this, he immediately shuddered, and blurted out, "Could it be that the emperor wants to break ......the contract?" What does he want?"
Xie Yixiang did not hesitate this time, and immediately smiled: "What else can I do? What I couldn't do back then, I want to do it again now." Mayor Wu, if this official remembers correctly, it seems to be some kind of temple, yes or no?"
