As expected, people from the four major families came and asked the city lord to leave early.
It is said that tribute has arrived.
"Could it be that this tribute has never been in your hands before?"
Chu Qingge was very curious about the tribute she was going to escort this time.
However, out of curiosity, everyone had something to say beforehand. She was not allowed to touch this tribute before it was delivered to the royal palace.
There are principles for being a human being, and there are also rules for an industry.
If she didn't have to, she really didn't intend to touch this tribute.
Unless the tribute itself has something to do with her.
Murong Xu said: "It is true that the tribute was not in our hands before. It was only delivered last night. However, people outside do not know about this."
"In other words, those who attacked the former city lord, or even those who attacked me, didn't know that the tribute was not in your hands before?"
"We released the news that the tribute will be handed over to the city lord for safekeeping."
Murong Xu felt a little guilty. He had already heard about the assassination of the city lord last night.
He said warmly: "My actions are only to protect the people who are transporting the tributes."
Qingge didn't say anything, and Li Huaxing and Feng Liye, who was sitting beside him drinking tea, didn't say anything either.
It is unnecessary to say such things as complaining.
Li Huaxing has her own plans, and it is not convenient for her to participate in this matter.
As for Chu Qingge, he had already expected that he would accept money from others to help others avoid disasters and be in danger.
What's more, her intention to go to the imperial city was not pure in the first place.
No one can say whose fault it is.
"So, have the tributes really arrived now?" Qingge twirled her fingers, her eyes fixed, making it difficult to tell whether she was happy or angry.
Murong Xu knew that their behavior would definitely make her angry.
However, since she took the money, it is also her obligation to bear the risk.
Murong Xu said: "We've arrived, so I hope the city lord will make arrangements immediately and set off tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" He left so fast. Could it be that this tribute really hides some ulterior secret?
"This tribute has no value to ordinary people, but it is very important to us in Yulong City."
Murong Xu looked at her brows, and he actually only had half trust in Chu Qingge.
He said: "As long as the city lord successfully delivers the tribute to the emperor, after the event is completed, we will send another 100,000 taels of gold to the city lord's mansion."
"What kind of mansion do I have? I am still living under someone else's roof. I have never even seen a so-called mansion."
Qingge hummed and joked.
Murong Xu knew that he was in trouble. When he became the city lord, he didn't even have a celebration banquet, nor did he make a big announcement. After all, the city lord's mansion had not been repaired yet.
At this time, asking her to set off immediately was indeed a bit disrespectful to the new city lord.
This city lord deserves it, but it is too childish.
only……
"City Lord, the situation is urgent, please forgive me."
After several young masters from the four major families looked at each other, Master Dongfang said helplessly: "Actually, the treasure troves of our four major families were also attacked last night."
"Oh?" Chu Qingge and Li Huaxing looked at each other.
Li Huaxing asked: "I don't know, can you tell me the specific details?"
"I can't tell you clearly about this yet, but..."
Young Master Dongfang glanced at Murong Xu.
Murong Xu then responded: "They are a group of controlled poisonous bats."
It’s the poisonous bat again!
It seems that those people are determined to win this tribute!
"City Lord, we are also forced to do so."
Murong Xu looked sincere: "They still can't find out who owns the tribute, but if this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to hide it!"
