The man ran to the middle and said: "The town outside the west gate was robbed, and the houses were burned down!"
Xu Zhi and everyone present were stunned.
Yuan Tengfei stood up, pointed at the people below and shouted: "Whose people? Stand up!"
The people below looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Wang Zhong scolded: "How many times have I told you that rabbits don't eat the grass beside their nests, and robbing is not allowed around Qianjiang City. Who the hell did you rob, please stand up for me!"
The people below were still confused, and no one came forward to admit their fault.
Wang Zhong became anxious, stood up like a weight, and cursed: "If you don't stand up, I will kill him!"
The people in the hall began to question each other, but they all denied that their people were causing trouble.
"Grandpa Third Ancestor, we don't have any."
"Our people only cause trouble along the coast, never here."
"Our own relatives and friends are here, how can we rob ourselves?"
Monk Fayin came out and said, "No, maybe he's not one of ours."
Xu Zhi asked doubtfully: "Do you suspect that the pirates on Xiandao are robbing you?"
Fayin shook his head and said: "The pirates have an agreement with us and will not rob here. I suspect they are Long Chengen's people."
Yuan Tengfei nodded and said: "It's possible."
It's a family of soldiers and bandits. It's normal for soldiers to rob women when they have no food during a war. They also want to rob women.
Another person ran in outside and shouted: "Grandpa, people from the imperial court are looting villages and towns."
Xu Zhi asked: "Are you sure?"
The man said with certainty: "Sure!"
When everyone heard this, they were all in an uproar!
"The officers and soldiers of the imperial court also robbed? What's the difference between that and us?"
"A family of soldiers and bandits are just like us."
"It's not wrong for us to pretend to be court officials, everyone is the same."
Xu Zhi was a little confused and asked Chen Zudao: "What's going on? The imperial envoys also robbed things?"
Chen Zu was also very surprised and said: "He... said that soldiers entering the city might disturb the people. I thought he was joking, but I didn't expect it to be true."
Xu Zhi turned to Fayin and asked: "What do you think?"
Fayin touched his bald head and said: "This... is quite normal. It's very common for soldiers to steal things."
"However, there are two possibilities for this matter: first, Long Chengen cannot restrain the army and he can't control it; second, Long Chengen is greedy for money and he wants to take the opportunity to grab something."
"Of course, it could be both."
Xu Zhi secretly made a calculation in his mind and said, "Let's find out tomorrow. If this person is greedy for money, things will be easy to handle."
Yuan Tengfei and Wang Zhong also feel that corrupt officials are best dealt with and given money.
Chen Zu asked: "Grandpa Third Ancestor, Long Chengen asked me to recruit troops in the city tomorrow. Should I do this?"
Xu Zhi said: "Of course I will comply with the imperial envoy's order and recruit troops for him in the city."
Chen Zu understood what Xu Zhi meant and immediately went to make arrangements.
....
City Market Inn.
A man in white clothes and a big hat went up to the second floor with a sword. The waiter greeted him attentively: "Sir, this is the single room where the two guests lived."
This man was Bai Tingting. She entered the city before the city gate closed. She heard that furs could be sold here, so she came here.
When she was in Shangjiang County, she saw Long Chen pretending to be a hunter and guessed that Long Chen would come to this place.
When I got here, I asked the waiter and he said that Long Chen left today.
Bai Tingting asked where Long Chen lived, but the waiter didn't tell her.
Bai Tingting asked for the room Long Chen stayed in yesterday, and the waiter took Bai Tingting to the single room on the second floor.
The waiter opened the door and lit the oil lamp. When Bai Tingting came in, she smelled the smell of sweat and she quickly covered her nose.
"Young Master also loves cleanliness so much. We have many guests coming and going here, so the smell of sweat is a bit strong."
Bai Tingting complained: "Is this too loud?"
The waiter chuckled and said, "Sir, this is the room that the elder brother lives in. If you don't like it, we can change it to another room."
Bai Tingting waved her hand: "Go out and bring me some food in."
The waiter asked: "What does the hero want to eat?"
Bai Tingting said: "Half a catty of beef, a catty of wine."
The waiter responded: "Right away!"
The waiter went out and Bai Tingting closed the door. Feeling that the room smelled even worse, she immediately rolled up the bedding and threw it on the floor.
In the next room, a pale-faced man sat upright, and opposite him was a lean man. The two of them listened quietly to Bai Tingting's movements.
The lean man whispered: "General, this waiter lied to us."
The pale man was Wuming. He was not wearing a mask, but his face was made up.
They arrived in the city one day later than Long Chen. They also found this inn and told the waiter that they wanted the room that Long Chen had stayed in. The waiter gave him this single room.
Wuming was speechless as he listened to the movement next door.
You could say that the waiter in this shop is stupid, he knows how to lie.
To say that the waiter in the shop was smart, he shouldn't have let Bai Tingting live next door and let Wuming hear what he said.
Wuming's nose twitched, he walked to the bed, smelled it, and said, "This room of ours is real."
The lean man asked: "Why?"
Wuming said: "Because it has the scent of woman's rouge."
Long Chen and Zhang Qian are together, so this room should be real.
The lean man said: "So, Bai Tingting was deceived."
Just now downstairs, they recognized Bai Tingting immediately, especially Wuming, who was too familiar with Bai Tingting.
Wuming ignored Bai Tingting and continued to whisper about Long Chen.
"Long Chen is attending a banquet at the Governor's Mansion. I asked my brothers to be ready and listen to my orders at any time. I killed him and eliminated a serious problem for the general."
The lean man asked: "Are we going to take action in the city? There are pirates everywhere here."
Wuming said: "It is better to have more pirates. After killing Long Chengen, we can put the problem on the pirates and not implicate the general."
The lean man nodded and said: "What the general said makes sense, when will we take action?"
Wu Ming said very carefully: "Don't be in a hurry. You must be sure to hit with one hit. Be prepared first."
Last time at the Daughter City Square, Jing Tianlie punched Long Chen, but his arm was only injured. Wuming was not sure about Long Chen's cultivation level.
Therefore, although he is a master at the Martial Emperor realm, he is very cautious in doing things and does not dare to be careless at all.
"Sir, your beef and wine are here."
The waiter knocked on the door next door, and Bai Tingting opened the door, took the wine and meat, and ate alone in the room.
There was another welcoming voice downstairs: "Hey, how many gentlemen are you staying at?"
The guest said: "Give us two single rooms, which must be connected."
The waiter said happily: "No problem, please come with the younger one!"
There was a thud going upstairs, and several guests took up residence in the nameless room on the other side.
The lean man wanted to take a look through the crack in the door. Wuming immediately shook his head and signaled him not to pry. He felt the unusual footsteps outside.
The two pretended to go to bed and stopped talking.
Next door, a middle-aged man wearing blue cloth entered the room. The clothes were not luxurious but very clean. Behind him was a handsome young man who looked very elegant.
The man entered the room and the other two entered the next room.
Sitting down in the room, the young elegant man walked softly to the wall and put his ear against the wall panel to listen carefully.
