Chapter 159

The dinner at the City Lord's Mansion is extremely luxurious. All kinds of delicious dishes are served on the table, with a rich variety of products, not only from Zhongdu, but also from the Western continent. This is naturally the masterpiece of chef Lok Em, of Gerho's mansion.

Although Maggie is gone and Samira's plan is out, she still invites the girls from Caifenglou to perform. Terra refuses on the grounds of being ill and busy with affairs. Samira does not force it, he really doesn't have the energy anymore.

The guests on the table were happy, and they were drinking and complimenting each other from time to time, and boasting about their family members or things. They either talk about new things and buy expensive things, which were all like eating, drinking and having fun. They were so happy.

But Samilla, who was sitting in the first seat, knew in her heart that after a while, the scene would probably be completely different.

A moment later, a middle-aged man with a big belly suddenly stood up, held his glass with his greasy hands, and shakingly to Samira a glass of wine, and said, "The City Lord has eliminated the Wolf Castle this time. I have worked hard and made great contributions. I wish the City Lord a glass!"

This person is not a great nobleman, maybe just a little rich man, but Samira was very pleased. Finally, someone dared to speak for him, so he said, "Haha, these are all my duties as the city lord. Thank you, lord."

Samira drank it all in one sip, but what happened next was beyond his expectations and almost made him squirt out the wine.

"But recently, the city is too chaotic. The city lord needs to be treated well. The adults here are all the right-hand men of the city lord. If there is anything..." The man continued, his eyes floating, as if he was really drunk. In the end, his voice was like a mosquito and flies, and he couldn't hear it clearly.

"Okay." Samira's face immediately became gloomy, and she said this word almost gritted her teeth.

This is just a little rich man with no deep foundation. At first glance, someone instructed him to push him to the forefront. Look at the nobles or representatives here, their faces were very wonderful. Some sneered, waiting to see the city lord's jokes, and then putting in the insult; some belong to the city lord's faction, their faces were also gloomy, but some were hesitant, and they were obviously trying to turn against each other.

Everyone present clearly had the faces of his face, but Samira couldn't do anything and said loudly: "Everyone, I know that everyone is very angry and afraid of what happened in the city recently. After all, that person came to us nobles. But I dare to assure you that after my investigation, he was not a Wolf Castle, but a civilian and a foreigner. Only when we relaxed a little, we could succeed. We could catch him soon. Don't worry!"

Since those people will attack sooner or later, Samira, the old fox, simply made it straight to the point. His words were to make all the nobles realize that they could not be alone and could not fight within the country at this time. The second was to defend themselves that this was not the one who came to seek revenge in the Wolf Castle, but the one who took advantage of the situation to rob.

He even wanted to directly say Tang Feifan, but he had already announced to the public that Tang Feifan was dead. First of all, no one believed it, and someone would use it to attack him.

"Hmph, the city lord cannot convince us by saying anything. Why is this person or this group of people not the remnants of Wolf Castle? And what kind of civilians have such skills, a group of soldiers can only return in vain, and killing a noble did not attract anyone's attention. If he said that he had not received many years of training, I would not believe it." The head of a large force immediately retorted Samira.

Such a killer can only come from Wolf Castle, which is what the head of the family means.

"Everything is still under investigation, and it will naturally come out soon." Samira secretly wrote down this person in her heart.

"Haha, I'm afraid Linton was already in panic at that time?" The nobleman didn't care about Samira's cold gaze at all, as if he was expected that Samira would not dare to do anything to him.

"Mr. City Lord, if you rely solely on the power of the City Lord's Mansion, it would probably take a long time to look for it. Why don't we all work hard? The city wants the assassin. No matter who he is, fighting with so many of our families can only hit the stone with eggs!"

Before the city lord Samira had time to speak, the head of Gaodian spoke first and put forward a seemingly good suggestion, which received the response of most nobles. However, Samira's face darkened because this was the opportunity for these families to expand their sphere of influence. Those small families could not do anything, but a large force like Gaodian could develop with this. At that time, even if the City lord's Mansion had the patrol office and the Judicial Court, it would not be able to compete with many families.

But he could only smile and nod. In terms of dealing with the assassin, this was undoubtedly a very good suggestion. He had no reason to object, otherwise his proposal would not be able to fight within himself.

The head of Gaodian is also an old fox. When they were in the family, they had a lot of meetings and exchanges, so the suggestions they made at this time were naturally not that simple.

Just as the family dinner gathered, Tang Feifan quietly lay on the roof of the hall under the night, as if integrated with the night. Although there were many soldiers and soldiers around him, no one could find Tang Feifan. He put his ears on the bricks and tiles, and the true energy condensed near his ears, enhancing his hearing. With great concentration, he could clearly hear any sound in the house. Moreover, the nobles could not have imagined that someone was spying on the extremely safe city lord's mansion.

"Hmph, this old guy is very calculating." Tang Feifan could even hear the profound meaning of the words of the head of the Gaodian family.

With this suggestion, Gaodian would not put much effort into the beginning. He would focus on competing for the rights of the patrol palace and the judges, and would install his own people in it. As for them, they were not worried that the assassin would be unfavorable to Gaodian. First, they judged that the assassin was just a grudge against the city lord's mansion, and second, they guessed from the content of Pule's explanation that the killer and Pule seemed to have a good relationship.

And the most important point is that wealth and honor are in danger. The higher the risk, the greater the reward. Gaodian is well aware of this principle, so he decided to take a bold risk.

Almost all that should have been heard, Tang Feifan stood up and moved his feet quickly on the roof. He pointed it lightly and swept across the high wall, but made no sound.

The moment he jumped out, a crossbow arrow flew out from his sleeve, nailed to the door beam of the hall, and made a clanging sound.

All the noise came to an abrupt end, and everyone's eyes fell on the crossbow that was still slightly trembling, and it was a little strange for a moment.

Even when it was a mess, all the nobles stood up in panic and rushed inside, shouting at the guards to come and protect the carriage.

In fact, there were four guards at the entrance of the hall, but they had no idea before. They discovered it a little earlier than the nobles and immediately pulled out their scimitars to guard the door.

As more guards came to the hall, the entire hall was surrounded and airtight. The most angry and panicked was Samira. If any nobleman died here, even if it was just the servant he brought to die, the fate of the city lord's mansion would be even worse. Even if there were no casualties at this time, Samira had already expected his next fate.

"Tang Feifan!" Samila gritted her teeth, her eyes were so angry that she was surging, and her heart was filled with flames. She thought that Tang Feifan had broken into pieces. Without thinking, she decided that this was done by Tang Feifan because the crossbow arrow also appeared in the riot at the city gate.
