"Of course there are clues, but I can't be sure." Ye Fei had a look of helplessness on his face. It seemed that he couldn't find out many things clearly or grasp the overall situation. Everything seemed to be beyond him.
unexpected.
"Didn't Lord Ye have any enemies?" Li Ling knew that Lord Ye had already trusted him. Li Ling could see some clues in Lord Ye's eyes, but it was just some trust.
Ye Fei pondered for a moment, put his hands on his back, and sighed slightly: "I, Ye Fei, were a top-notch master thirty years ago. I have made countless powerful enemies, and there will naturally be no shortage of enemies. However, to be able to organize such a large organization with the strength
There are very few assassinations on a large scale."
"I would like to ask a question that I shouldn't ask. Among the powerful enemies established by City Lord Ye, are there any who are powerful enough to be at the city level?" Li Ling asked boldly.
Ye Fei's eyes suddenly shrank, and a shadow of a person appeared in his mind, but he quickly shook his head and said: "It can't be him, absolutely impossible."
Ye Fei's vague answer made Li Ling confused, and Li Ling asked: "Who is it?"
"A former strong enemy of mine was once the city lord of Ruicheng. I had a huge feud with him. There was also a war between the two cities, but in the end it ended in his defeat. I captured him." Ye Fei.
road.
"City Lord Ye, what happened to this City Lord? Did you kill him?" Li Ling said.
"No, I have no right to kill the city lord. Unless an officer with the title of princess or above gives an order, no one can touch the city lord. Killing the city lord privately is a crime." Ye Fei said.
"Then Lord Ye, you shouldn't let your enemies go," Li Ling said.
"Of course not. I would never let a tiger return to the mountains, but I couldn't kill him, so I kept him in an underground water prison for ten years." Ye Fei sighed.
"Could it be that if a city lord is imprisoned privately, officials above the princess level will not take care of it?" Li Ling asked doubtfully.
"As long as you don't kill, you'll be fine. After all, it's a bureaucracy. To kill officials, only the higher-ups have the power. If you exceed your authority and kill, you will offend the majesty of those officials." Ye Fei said a little helplessly.
Li Ling also felt Ye Fei's helplessness. After all, Ye Fei looked very arrogant, but in fact, he was just the city lord of Ye City. To put it bluntly, if you want to compare, he was just like a village chief. In fact, he was just the mayor of Ye City.
For the leader of a small place, if his superiors wanted to kill him one day, it would only be a matter of words.
However, as long as Ye Fei doesn't offend officials above the princess level, he will basically be at ease, and no one will take the initiative to trouble him. After all, those people don't bother with the city lord level at all.
In such a small town, City Lord Ye is actually very helpless. Thinking about the fact that his strength has been capped at the city level, it is impossible to climb up any more. This is the sadness of being a City Lord.
Li Ling said: "In other words, those who came to cause trouble or assassinate Ye City Lord could not have been ordered by the former Ruicheng City Lord?"
"Well, it shouldn't be possible. The place where he is imprisoned is in the underground prison of my Tianxin Palace. If there is any trouble, it cannot be hidden from my eyes and ears." Ye Fei shook his head.
If a huge underground prison was built under the Tianxin Palace, it would be difficult to spread the news, let alone command the old troops to assassinate Ye Fei.
"Is it possible that the old troops of Lord Rui have organized their own forces to fight against you?" Li Ling guessed.
"This possibility is not very likely. I wiped out Ruicheng and killed all the capable generals of Ruicheng lord. The rest were just stragglers and useless. Moreover, they must gather together if the tree falls and the hozens are scattered.
Without the motivation of profit, no one would work hard to do that." Ye Fei shook his head.
"How is City Lord Rui doing now?" Li Ling asked.
Ye Fei looked at Li Ling doubtfully and said calmly: "I feed him good food and drink every day, and he can live quite well."
"It seems that Lord Ye, you don't dare to neglect him." Li Ling said.
"Hey, I'm afraid that he will commit suicide at my place. It will be hard to tell when the time comes." Ye Fei sighed.
If a person stays in a dark and humid place for a long time, he will indeed have depression and suicidal thoughts. Ye Fei did not lie. As for the delicious food and drinks, it is probably to give City Lord Rui a little sweetness and make him feel that there is still hope for life.
.
"Lord Ye City, can you let me meet that Lord Rui City?" Li Ling said this boldly. From a personal perspective, if Li Ling can meet that Lord Rui City, he will be able to rescue Lord Rui City one day.
, maybe we can join forces with City Lord Rui to kill Lord Ye City.
However, after hearing City Lord Ye, only city lords at the level of the city are qualified to kill under orders from the county level. It seems that at that time, Li Ling will have to consider whether to kill City Lord Ye himself, or in other words, the backstage of the Dark Night Killer Organization.
, there are people at the princess level, or in other words, An Ye himself wants to get rid of Ye Chengzhu, a political enemy, but there is no legitimate reason to remove him, so he borrows the hands of An Ye killer.
Ye Fei hesitated for a moment. After all, he did not completely trust Li Ling. After all, Li Ling had only done a great service for him. His hesitation let Li Ling know that he wanted to see Rui this time.
The city lord's plan may come to naught.
"Since Lord Ye is inconvenient, I won't be in trouble anymore. Just pretend I didn't say anything." Li Ling said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, this ** belongs to me. I rarely tell others. The old gentleman has made great contributions to me, so I tell him sincerely. But please forgive me that I can't do it when we meet." Ye Fei frowned slightly.
The way.
Li Ling knew that what he said just now almost touched Ye Fei's anger. Fortunately, Li Ling observed his words and made a judgment, which saved him from a small displeasure.
However, the underground dungeon gave Li Ling the slightest idea of going to find out.
"City Lord, it's the old man who is wrong. I shouldn't have the extravagant expectation to find out what's going on in the water prison. I made a mistake." Li Ling quickly admitted his mistake, hoping to restore himself to the previous level of trust in front of the city lord.
Otherwise, if Li Ling loses this trust, it will be difficult to get it back.
City Lord Ye slapped Li Ling on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "Mr. Li, you are too polite. I didn't take Mr. Li to see City Lord Rui because I was afraid of dragging Mr. Li into the water."
Li Ling sneered in his heart, saying something so grand, but Li Ling smiled and said: "Thank you City Lord for caring so much about me."
"Okay, today I hope Mr. Li can keep secret about my brother's death. I don't want any news about this matter to spread. My brother Ye Xiong is also a low-key person. After his death, I will also find a secret.
Buried him in a special place." Ye Fei showed a hint of sentimentality, but Li Ling could see that most of this sentimentality was just fake.
"The old man will retreat first," Li Ling said.
Ye Fei nodded slightly, with a cold light in his eyes. As soon as Li Ling stepped out of the Tianxin Palace, Li Ling saw Ye Fei scattering some white powdery things on his brother.
Li Ling just glanced at the white powdery things and immediately understood that they were corpse powder, something similar to corpse powder.
It seems that Lord Ye City was still afraid that he would be exposed, so he sent someone to kill his younger brother. He was afraid that others would gossip about him, so he used a corpse destroyer to eliminate traces.
Li Ling felt a chill in his heart. This Ye City Lord was indeed ruthless. He looked kind on the surface, but in fact, he was crueler and darker than anyone else in his heart. He could even destroy his own brother's body. There was nothing he couldn't do.
of.
Li Ling returned to his courtyard in Xiyuan. Hei Lin was pacing back and forth in the courtyard, feeling very anxious and worried. When he saw Li Ling coming back, he felt relieved and stopped running around. He said hurriedly: "You finally
You’re back. Have you killed Ye Xiong?”
"Kill me, I almost won't be able to come back." Li Ling walked to the courtyard, then screamed and spurted out the blood on his chest.
"You're okay." Hei Lin was startled and quickly took out some cloth to wipe away the blood stains on Li Ling's mouth.
Li Ling took out a healing pill from his arms with a slight smile and drank it. He temporarily suppressed the pain and said: "I'm fine. It's just that a few bones in my chest are broken. It doesn't matter. I can set the bones myself." (To be continued.)
