Xia Yu smiled slightly, "It turns out to be General Huang, where are you going?"
"I was about to go check out the fire in the City Lord's Mansion..." Huang Qishan said, "This fire is strange. I heard it was started by thieves. I have already sent people there, but I am still a little worried and want to go and see for myself.
"
"General Huang, it's better not to go..." Xia Yu said, "We just came over there. Although the fire is big, it shouldn't be able to burn anywhere else. Once the city lord's mansion is burned out, the fire should be extinguished."
"It's so serious?" Huang Qishan knew the scale of the City Lord's Mansion, so a large area was burned to a white ground. Thinking about the intensity of the fire, it was really scary. He smacked his lips secretly and said, "Brother Yuwen, do you know the casualties?
Is it really the thieves who set the fire? Do you need me to send more people over?"
"The thieves killed some people, but after the fire broke out, most of the people in the city lord's mansion ran out..." Xia Yu smiled, pointed behind him and said, "Feng Bao and I worked together to catch four thieves.
, including their leaders, they were all brought over.”
Feng Bao and the others had been fighting for so long, and their faces were covered with dirt and blood. Huang Qishan didn't recognize them at first. Then after hearing what Xia Yu said, he noticed the six people behind him. After a closer look, they actually
They are all masters in the general's mansion.
Huang Qishan was taken aback and asked quickly: "Feng Bao, didn't you go home to visit your relatives? Why are you here? And the rest of you...haven't you all taken leave?"
"This is General Meng's arrangement... Let's talk about it, today's fire is strange! Don't be too surprised for a while!" Feng Bao said.
"This..." Huang Qishan also realized that the matter might be serious and said quickly, "Okay! Come in quickly!"
"General Huang..." Xia Yu said, "Let the other things go first, quickly arrange a room, and interrogate these thieves first!"
"OK!"
Huang Qishan immediately called two of his men and took several prisoners into a cell in the general's mansion. Some of Feng Bao's men were also slightly injured. Feng Bao asked them to go back and bandage first, while he followed Xia Yu and Huang Qishan to the cell.
Prepare to interrogate prisoners.
It is said to be a prison cell, but in fact it should be regarded as a torture chamber. The real prison cell is not in the general's mansion, it is set up in the military camp outside the city. This simple room in the general's mansion is usually used to punish generals who have made mistakes.
The prison cell was also fully equipped with ropes, wooden sticks, whips and other torture instruments.
The four prisoners were all anesthetized, unable to utter a word and had no resistance. After they were tied to wooden stakes, Xia Xia Yu took out a bottle and shook it under their noses.
The pungent gas floated out of the bottle. Diao Xiongxin, Ling Zhongshi and others couldn't help sneezing a few times, and their bodies slowly regained consciousness.
Xia Yu pointed at Diao Xiongxin and said to Huang Qishan, "You should know this person, right?"
"He...he is the head of the Diao family?" Huang Qishan said in surprise, "He burned down the city lord's mansion?"
"Yes!" Feng Bao snorted coldly, "The ambitious thing not only burned down the city lord's palace, but also attacked the young city lord!"
"What?" Huang Qishan was shocked, "Why is this? I have never heard that the Diao family has a grudge against the city lord? They seem to want to get married to the city lord!"
Xia Xia Yu smiled faintly, "I'm afraid I have to ask Diao Xiongxin!"
"I can guess it without asking him!" Feng Bao sneered, "If you kill the young city lord, won't his daughter-in-law be the heir to the city lord? Isn't that right? Master Diao?"
"Bah! Just slander, whatever you say!" Diao Xiongxin spat and closed his eyes.
Since the General's Office has intervened, what happened today can be explained. Although Diao Xiongxin became a prisoner, he still had some support in his heart. The Diao family has deep roots in Hailuo City and has a close relationship with Yue Conghai. These ordinary people
The generals may not dare to do anything to him. Although things went wrong today, as long as Yue Conghai kills Meng Shixiong and comes back in time, he will be fine. Without Meng Shixiong, how dare these ordinary generals disobey the city lord's orders?
?
"The old guy is quite arrogant!" Huang Qishan cursed in a low voice, then looked at Ling Zhongshi and others, and asked, "Who are these people? Are they all from the Diao family?"
Feng Bao shook his head. He only got the order to protect Yue Xiaolin, and he really didn't know the origin of these enemies. Xia Yu said, "There may be people from the Diao family, and people from Miss Yue's mother's family."
"Feihe Villa?" Feng Bao said in surprise, "No wonder it's so difficult!"
Ling Zhongshi glanced at Feng Bao, snorted coldly, and remained silent.
"General Huang, Brother Feng Bao..." Xia Yu said in a deep voice, "They pretended to be thieves, burned down the city lord's palace, and killed Young Master Yue. Do you think City lord Yue knows about this?"
Huang Qishan and Feng Bao were both stunned, feeling that something was wrong.
"If Lord Yue doesn't know..." Xia Yu continued, "It's just what these people did in private, so that's okay. If this was arranged by Lord Yue... things might not be that simple! I heard that these two days Meng Meng
The general and City Lord Yue went out of the city to suppress bandits together. The thieves here in the City Lord's Mansion are pretended to be City Lord Yue's in-laws, so who are the so-called thieves outside the city? Could they also be someone from the City Lord's Mansion?"
"Yu Wenxia! Fuck you!" Diao Xiongxin scolded, "Don't even think about slandering Lord Yue!"
"Why are you so anxious?"
Feng Bao and Huang Qishan looked at each other and both felt that what Xia Yu said made sense. If even the so-called thieves were arranged by the city lord's palace, then Yue Conghai probably didn't have any good intentions when he asked Meng Shixiong to go out to suppress the bandits!
Feng Bao stepped in front of Diao Xiongxin and said in a deep voice: "Tell me! Were you ordered by Yue Conghai?"
Diao Xiongxin glanced at him contemptuously and closed his eyes again. Their only hope now is that Yue Conghai succeeds, kills Meng Shixiong and returns to Hailuo City. By then Yue Conghai will be in power and will definitely be able to rescue a few of them.
Go. And they must not confess until Yue Conghai comes to rescue them.
Seeing his indifferent look, Feng Bao became furious and gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you not say it? Patriarch Diao, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
At this time, the door of the execution room was pushed open from the outside, and Zhou Hao rushed in disheveled, saying loudly: "Old Huang, I heard that there is another thief in the city! Give me a team of people, and I will go and see it.
Look! Damn it, I’ve been looking for you all around, and then I realized you were hiding here..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Xia Yu and was startled, "Brother Yuwen, why are you here? What are you doing?"
