Chapter 220: Entering the City Lord’s Mansion (1st update)
Six days later, Long Sheng led the Dragon Guard to the place where they were robbed by the bandits.
"Sixth Prince, was this where you were robbed?" Chao Xi looked around and said:
"Yes, but we did not choose to resist. Instead, we gave all our belongings to the bandits in exchange for peace. After we escaped from the bandits, we went to the city in front to rest, and we didn't know who was staying there.
How is everything going? Have they all been killed?" Long Sheng looked in the direction of the city.
"In this case, shouldn't we go to the city in front and take a look to find out?" Chao Xi said:
Then Long Sheng and Chao Xi led dozens of Long Sheng into the city. They were afraid of attracting others' attention, so they left the large group of people outside the city.
When Long Sheng just entered the city, one of the soldiers guarding the city was surprised, and then ran away in a hurry.
"Master, that soldier is rather suspicious." Chao Xi said in Long Sheng's ear:
"This is not the right place to talk. Let's wait until we are in a safe place!" Long Sheng said:
When we arrived at the inn, all we saw was ruins. There was nothing else.
"Go find someone and ask what happened here." Long Sheng looked at the ruins in front of him and said:
Then Long Wei found a passerby.
"Excuse me, what happened here? Why did the inn here turn into ruins?" Long Sheng asked:
"I'm not very sure. It seems that a group of men in black broke into this inn more than ten nights ago. They killed everyone in the inn and set it on fire. The result was
This is what it looks like." The passerby said:
"Isn't there anyone investigating this matter?" Long Sheng asked curiously:
"The people from the City Lord's Mansion investigated this matter, but the City Lord's Mansion only investigated the identities of those who were burned to death. In the end, it seemed that they did not investigate and punished anything, so they decided that those who were burned to death were bandits. I heard that
Not everyone was burned to death that night, and many people escaped. The city lord's mansion arrested them for several days! Many more were arrested!" the passerby said:
"It seems that the young master is right! It is really a collusion between officials and gangsters! It seems that we have been targeted, should we leave here!" Chao Xi said:
As soon as Chao Xi finished speaking, a large number of officers and soldiers surrounded him.
"It seems that we can't leave even if we want to. Their main target is me. Now that I have appeared, how could they let go of this good opportunity!" Long Sheng said with a smile:
"Catch these people." A man who looked like an army officer said loudly:
"Wait a minute, what crime have we committed? You actually want to arrest us. There must be a reason for arresting people!" Chao Xi said:
"The city lord has an order. As soon as you see a group of bandits, you must be arrested immediately and taken to the city lord's palace. You will wait for the city lord to deal with you." This officer-like man said:
"Do you have evidence that we are bandits? If you don't have evidence, you can't arrest people randomly!" Chao Xi said:
"What the Lord City Lord said is evidence. If you want to defend yourself, please come back to the City Lord's Mansion with me! Take them all away for me." This officer-like man said:
As soon as Chao Xi wanted to resist, Long Sheng pressed his shoulders and shook his head. Then Long Sheng and his group were forced back to the city lord's palace.
After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, Long Sheng and the others were tied up and imprisoned in a small room, with many soldiers guarding the outside.
After waiting like this for more than two hours, the door of the room was opened, and a fat man and a little old man walked in with some soldiers.
"Is this young man the person you are looking for?" the fat man said:
"Yes, this person is the person I am looking for. I have seen this boy's portrait, and it is absolutely correct. I didn't expect you to spend so much time finding this boy! Your efficiency is so slow! This makes the higher-ups very worried.
Not satisfied." The little old man said:
"My people said they came back from outside the city, so we searched in the city for so long but couldn't find it. As soon as this young man entered the city, our people discovered him and we will arrest him immediately."
The fat man said flatteringly:
"How could this kid be outside the city? When did he leave the city? He sent someone to keep an eye on them after they entered the inn! How could they not notice it? This is strange! During the period when we were chasing him
Where is he at that time? He must have got in touch with his family!" The little old man said in surprise:
"Probably not! If he had gotten in touch with his family, how could he have surrendered himself? Is he that stupid? He should have come to take revenge a long time ago! You must be worrying too much, and
He is in front of us now, won't we know after interrogating him once?" The fat man said:
"Who are you, kid?" The little old man said to Long Sheng:
"This is a big joke. You arrested me here and you actually asked me who I am. I should be the one to ask you. Why did you arrest us? What crime did we commit!" Long
Saint said dissatisfied:
"Aren't you a sharp-tongued kid? Now I'm asking you! You'd better answer my questions honestly, otherwise it won't be your turn for us to do things without your good fruits.
You'd better be wiser if you make irresponsible remarks." The little old man said:
"I am a businessman." Long Sheng said:
"You are a businessman and your answer is too general. I think you are a smart person and should know what I am asking. My patience is limited. I hope you will not challenge my patience." The little old man said displeasedly.
:
"We are the internal guards, responsible for purchasing for the palace. Now you know our identities! You can let us go!" Long Sheng said;
"What? You are actually internal guards, do you have credentials?" The little old man's face suddenly changed, and then he said in surprise:
"I have a waist badge on me as proof. You will know after you take it out and look at some." Long Sheng said:
Then the little old man quickly turned over Long Sheng's body and actually took out a waist badge with the word "Inner Guard" written on the front and the word "Commander" written on the back.
"They are really internal guards! They are broken, we are in trouble, we should let them go quickly! Otherwise, it will be a death penalty!" After seeing the token, the fat man said in fear:
"This token is fake. They pretended to be internal guards. This is a capital crime. Take it and kill them all." The little old man said with a gloomy face:
"But this token is obviously real!" The fat man said stupidly:
"Have you forgotten what you did a few days ago? Do you think you will be fine if you let them go? I think you will die even more miserably! If you kill them now, you may still have a chance of survival.
