58 Verbal deception

In the back hall of the Yamen of Chilong Town, a whole wall cabinet was placed against the wall on the west side to store official documents, and there were drawers that Xie Yixiang had not had time to close after checking them, and the sunlight shone in from the window on the east side, and it was about sunrise after a little identification. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info In addition, the entire back hall was clearly empty, whether it was the flower-faced black-robed monster or Yan Sidao, not only was there no trace of them, but there was not even a trace of their appearance.

And his mess was placed on the ground not far away, Xie Yixiang shook his head vigorously, and gradually came to his senses. This is just like when an ordinary person wakes up from a dream, with only a little thought, he can distinguish what is a dream and what is reality. Xie Yixiang naturally understood at this moment, thinking that after he fell into the incense of the flower-faced black-robed stranger, he was already unconscious on the spot, and then the black-robed stranger burned for no reason, and then said that Sidao suddenly appeared, until Yan Sidao used a dry tobacco stick to fight with himself, all this happened was just a dream of his own.

Just like the reason why I saw those faceless monsters and "her" in the Yao family's ancient mansion before, this is clearly another dream carefully prepared for myself. Although Xie Yixiang didn't know how the other party entered her dream, she was sure that these two consecutive dreams were all about Yan Sidao making trouble in secret.

To say that the dream of the Yao family's ancient house before, only based on the residual smell of dry smoke when he woke up from the dream, Xie Yixiang may not be completely sure. But this time, Yan Sidao actually appeared in his own dream to say the truth, and unexpectedly pointed out his martial arts, his blatant actions, as if he was afraid that Xie Yixiang would not know that these two dreams were arranged by him, I really don't know what kind of situation Yan Sidao laid on him.

Now although Xie Yixiang still doesn't know the secrets in Poyang Lake, nor does she know the whereabouts of the stolen military salaries in the imperial court, and she doesn't know the details of those mysterious black-robed people, but for Yan Sidao's actions in the dream, she seems to have a heart, and she doesn't even need to think about it at all, she immediately got the answer: "The reason why Yan Sidao appeared in the dream is to tell me that he has been hiding around me all along, so that I can rest assured that I can let go of my hands and feet to do what I want." ā€

Speaking of which, her idea is actually a bit contradictory, you must know that Xie Yixiang and Yan Sidao are soldiers and thieves. For Xie Yixiang, Yan Sidao is a bad person, a villain, and a fugitive who wants to be arrested; for Yan Sidao, Xie Yixiang is at most a pawn that can be used. In addition, there is no other friendship between the two, so now that there are words and thoughts to follow in the shadows, how can it make Xie Yixiang feel at ease?

This is because no matter the face-tearing demon case back then, or the current trip to Poyang Lake, the incompatible relationship between Xie Yixiang and Yan Sidao seems to be in the same camp. That is to say, although the goals of the two sides are not the same, the goals are the same, so that the relationship between the two has become one of friend and foe. Compared with the fog of Poyang Lake in front of him, Yan Sidao said that this real villain appeared here, and he just wanted to get some benefits from it, and maybe in some respect, he would rely on Xie Yixiang to help him. But because of this, sometimes this speech and thought will also come to help Xie Yixiang, just like guiding Xie Yixiang through a dream.

In this situation, although Xie Yixiang has always held the principle of "the gentleman allies with morality, and the villain allies with interests", and opposes joining forces with that Yan Sidao from the bottom of his heart, he always can't hold it. Whether it was the Purple Mountain back then or the Poyang Lake now, what she did was obviously acquiescing in the "alliance of interests" between herself and Yan Sidao.

After sorting out the relationship between himself and Yan Sidao, Xie Yixiang also completely sobered up. At that moment, she was about to recall the events in her dream in detail, when she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside, and a wheezing man's voice had come from the public hall in front of her, and asked respectfully, "Lord Xie?" Listening to this voice, it was Wu Yurong, the mayor of Chilong Town, who came.

Xie Yixiang immediately said hello, and Mayor Wu dragged his fat body into the back hall. But seeing that his clothes were soaked with sweat and wilted against his body, he thought that he had trotted all the way. As soon as they met, Mayor Wu made a big salute, and explained to Xie Yixiang with a breath: "Xiaguan...... See Lord Xie for the lower officials...... Last night, I heard the order of the lord, saying that I would summon it today, and the lower officials were afraid of delaying the matter, so they stayed awake all night, and rushed to listen to the orders of the lord as soon as it was dawn. ā€

Xie Yixiang saw that Mayor Wu's eyes were red, and the so-called "sleepless night" was only afraid of telling the truth, so he immediately said lightly: "Mayor Wu's hard work is not easy, it can be said that it is a blessing for the people of this Chilong Town." After saying this, seeing that Mayor Wu was happy, Xie Yixiang's tone immediately changed, and he sighed to himself: "It's a pity that the 'crime of dereliction of duty' has never been trivial. Even if a good official like Mayor Wu commits this crime of dereliction of duty, he will inevitably be investigated and dealt with in accordance with the law, which makes the official a little embarrassed. As soon as the words fell, she issued the self-title of "this official", and she actually spoke more and more smoothly.

Mayor Wu couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and hurriedly smiled: "Don't you want to win the official to have fun...... The lower officials have served in this Chilong Town for 17 years, although they have not had good political achievements, but they can be regarded as loving the people like children, and they have never slackened off in the slightest, this so-called 'crime of dereliction of duty', but they don't know ......"

Xie Yixiang stretched out his hand and pointed to the closet in the back hall where the documents were stored, and immediately interrupted him and said: "This official has just counted all the official documents here overnight, and regardless of the content involved, these official documents alone are incomplete and lost. Mayor Wu, what explanation do you want to make about this?"

I saw that Mayor Wu swallowed a mouthful of spit, his mouth was stumbling, but he couldn't speak. Xie Yixiang was unforgiving, and continued: "This official came to Chilong Town to investigate the case by the order of the imperial court, so he naturally has the right to act cheaply, so a major crime like dereliction of duty can be punished on the spot immediately. Mayor Wu, I read that your political performance is not bad on weekdays, and this official is not embarrassed by you, as long as you immediately complete and count these missing official documents one by one, this official can act as if this incident has not happened. ā€

Xie Yixiang thought that after he said this, he would immediately be able to frighten Mayor Wu to kneel down on the spot and ask for guilt, but unexpectedly, the Mayor Wu in front of him not only lost his temper, but his expression was also a little strange. He hesitated for a moment, and suddenly asked, "My lord...... Did you really come to Chilong Town on business at the behest of the imperial court?" As soon as the words came out, Mayor Wu seemed to feel that he had asked a little too much, and hurriedly added: "It's the lower official who lost his words, and please don't be surprised." It's not that the lower officials want to suspect the adult's intentions, but ...... Rather, it is the account of that year, which is clearly ordered by the imperial court to be destroyed by the imperial court, so how dare the lower officials transcribe it to the world? Since your Excellency was appointed by the imperial court, this should be very clear about this, so why do you need to interrogate the lower officials, this is ...... Isn't this a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for the officials?"

When Xie Yixiang heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, he just said that there were a lot of missing official documents here, and he asked Mayor Wu to fill in the incomplete official documents, but he did not specify that it was the missing record of the year in the "Chronicle of Chilong Town". And the reason why she said this was to make the situation more serious, so as to deter the Mayor Wu in front of her, and secondly, she was unwilling to easily reveal her intentions to the Mayor Wu.

However, the mayor of Wu in front of him had clearly just come to the back hall of this yamen, how could he know that the so-called "missing official documents" meant "the account of that year"? However, based on the loopholes in Mayor Wu's sentence, after all, it was still inconclusive, and if he really confronted him with this, this mayor Wu would probably be able to explain a lot of rhetoric.

But what kind of clever person is Xie Yixiang? Since he already has doubts in his heart, he naturally wants to deceive him. At that moment, her right hand had quietly pressed her waist and left Chaoli, and she said slowly: "It seems that Mayor Wu has not slept all night, but it turns out that he played a game of hide and seek in the back hall of this yamen, and he pretended to be a ghost with this official all night. ā€
