Chapter 167: Identity

Fang Du arrived, "Mayor Town, I don't know if I can go to the back hall to talk?" His original intention was to give this mayor a chance to find a secluded place to explain his identity and the token given by the King of Zhenbei, and the matter was naturally resolved, and everyone was not angry. After all, they're all adults, and it's not good to tear your face.

But the mayor of the town put on a look of being official and never showing favoritism, and the other party said angrily, "Who do you think of this mayor, tell you, kill people to pay for your life, pay off debts, you'd better not move those crooked thoughts!" Fang Du smiled bitterly and defended, "I am not the real murderer, but I just happened to witness the killing of that person last night." The corpses are not far away, and my friends and I take turns on duty, also to make it easier to find clues. ”

"Hmph!" the town chief nostrils turned to the sky, "you deceive a three-year-old child with this rhetoric, you said that you are staying by the corpse to investigate the case, who would spend so much effort for the death of a stranger, and what good will it do to you?"

Seeing that he was stubborn, Fang Duan even kept saying that he was the real murderer, and he was resentful, so his speech was not so good, "Could it be that in the mayor's heart, everyone is utilitarian, don't you want to get benefits for doing everything?"

The mayor of the town who asked after a few words was speechless, he was actually annoyed and angry, pointed at Fang Du with one hand, and slapped the startled wood with the other hand and scolded, "Come on, pull this madman down to the mayor of this town, and beat fifty boards!"

The servants came up to pull Fang Dui, and in desperation, Fang Dui could only take out the token given to him by Cong Miao from his arms in front of everyone, and said loudly, "The Zhenbei King Token is here, who is in the seat, and I haven't come to see the prince yet!"

How could anyone not know the name of the King of Zhenbei, the mayor of the town shuddered for a moment, and his eyes stared directly at the token in Fang Dui's hand. When confirming that it was indeed the thing of the king of Zhenbei, he jumped down suddenly, knelt on the ground with a "plop", kowtowed like pounding garlic, "I don't know if the envoy is married, the villain should die, the villain should die!"

Seeing that his two faces in front and back were changing so quickly, Fang Du couldn't help but want to laugh, and he whispered, "There are too many idle people here, I wonder if the mayor can find a quiet place to talk?"

"Yes, yes," the mayor said, standing up, "Envoy, please." Fang Duan glanced back at the people outside the hall, and the official door naturally didn't dare to stop them anymore, so he let them in. The mayor of the town led the way in Cha Mian, brought Fang Du and the others to the inner hall, treated them as guests, and personally delivered refreshments, "The envoy suddenly arrived, it is really a blessing for three lives, and it is full of brilliance!"

"Hey, you, didn't you just say that Fang Duan was the real murderer, and you want to drag it down and hit fifty boards?" Zhan Xingran couldn't get used to his villainous face, and deliberately sarcastic. Mo Xuanji didn't think it was messy enough here, so he coughed and introduced, "This is Zhan Xingran, the prince of the Eagle Clan, the town elder, come and see the ceremony!"

"Oh, your honor, your honor, the prince is good!" the mayor of the town wants to flatter here, and stammers there, and he is very busy. Rong Yue said, "Our envoy actually has another identity, that is, the general of the border demon suppression who was personally appointed by the Holy Lord. Hurry up, take out the official seal and show it to our mayor, otherwise, he will treat you as a murderer again!"

"General Fang, the general atonements!" a fine bead of sweat accumulated on the mayor's head, swirling like a headless fly. Fang Du couldn't bear it and said, "Mayor of the town, please sit down, haven't you asked the mayor for his name?"

"Don't dare, Hou Cailiang. Town Mayor Hou Cailiang sat on half a chair and asked tremblingly, "I don't know if General Fang came to Lutai Town for any important business?" Fang Du said, "The Holy Lord does have some orders, but this is not the time to say this. What happened last night is very strange, can the deceased be determined to be the horse dealer Hu Er?"

Hu's second daughter-in-law was brought back together, and she didn't have time to interrogate. Hou Cailiang didn't know anything, so Fang Duan had to say, "Then please don't blame the mayor, I want to borrow the court and the yamen to use it." Hou Cailiang nodded and said, "No problem, no problem, General Fang can use it, if there is anything else needed, just command!"

Back in the court, the idlers and others had been cleaned up, and Hu's second daughter-in-law knelt on the ground sobbing and cried. Fang Du asked, "Second sister-in-law Hu, can you recognize that headless corpse is your husband?"

"Back to the adult, that's right, he is the little woman's man, the horse dealer Hu Er!" said Hu's second daughter-in-law, "Yesterday evening, he said that he was going to drink, and the little woman couldn't stop him, so he let him go." Unexpectedly, the little woman waited at home and did not come back, and she went out early this morning to look for him, but she did not expect that he would die outside!" She began to cry again. Fang Duan asked again, "Do you know where Hu Er went to drink?" Hu Er's daughter-in-law said, "It's just a tavern of the Zhang family or the Li family, and the little woman doesn't know either." ”

Fang Du comforted her and said, "Second sister-in-law Hu, please mourn, I will definitely find out about this matter and give you an explanation." However, Hu Er's body can't be taken away, I wonder if Hu Er's sister-in-law is willing?" "Hu Er's daughter-in-law is just a woman's family, her husband is dead, and she has long run out of ideas, so why wouldn't she agree?"

Back in the inner hall, Hou Cailiang hurried up, "Lutai Town is remote, and it is not as lively and prosperous as the capital. General Fang also saw that the only inn in the town was in tatters, and there was not even a decent bedding, so it was really impossible to live in. I have already asked my subordinates to clean up a few rooms, please don't dislike it, general. ”

Fang Duan said a few polite words to him, and followed Hou Cailiang to the backyard. only to find out that what he had prepared was not a guest room at all, but the room where he and his family lived was given up. Because of the rush of time, the new bedding has not yet been laid.

"Mayor Hou is polite, we are staying in the guest room. Fang Duan didn't want to trouble others, let alone accept this favor. Hou Cailiang said with trepidation, "The general's status is noble, and he is the prince's honorable envoy, I'm afraid that this will be neglected, and I ask General Fang not to shirk it." Mo Xuanji said, "The mayor is too polite, we still have important matters, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to live here, it's better to live in the guest room, it's easy to do things." ”

Hou Cailiang looked at Fang Duan's face, and when he saw him nodding slightly, he said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll let people prepare." The subordinates rearranged and cleaned up, and Fang Duan took the opportunity to ask, "Does Mayor Hou know about the appearance of monsters in the town?" Hou Cailiang suddenly said with a bitter face, "Oh, how can I not know? Those monsters are very terrifying, no matter how you kill them, you can't kill them, and General Fang also knows about this?"
