The main room of the City Lord's Mansion looks exquisite and spacious just from the outside.
I guess it must be bright and majestic inside.
As soon as Shen stepped into the door of the main room, he felt that the room was bone-chilling and cold, which was in great contrast with the visual environment of bright and clean windows.
Ding Fu's body trembled unconsciously, and a smile appeared on his face: "I'll invite you here, Chief Immortal."
Under the leadership of Ding Fu, Shen Yi met the city lord Ding Yutao.
The moment he saw Ding Yutao, Shen Yi's pupils were full of shock: the person in front of him was wearing regular clothes matching the status of the city lord, sitting weakly with his back leaning on the bed. His whole face was sallow and withered, and his sleeves were empty and exposed. His hands were as bony as wood, and his meridians were protruding. His whole body had no energy at all, and he looked like he was about to die.
"I have met the Immortal," Ding Yutao struggled to smile, his voice weak and hoarse: "I have a body of rotten wood and I have neglected the Immortal. I hope the Immortal will forgive me."
"No problem, the city lord is welcome." Shen said.
Ding Yutao said: "I only received a reply from Huayang Sect half an hour ago, saying that someone from the sect has already arrived. I didn't expect it to be so fast. The efficiency of the Immortal Sect is indeed a thousand times better than ours."
Shen Yi's brows moved anxiously and said: "It's all due to the sect's clever methods. City Lord Ding, I heard from the manager that you contracted the disease two months ago?"
Ding Yutao nodded: "I asked all the doctors in Chengzhou City, but no one could find out. Last time, the Immortal Chief gave me two pills to strengthen my body and strengthen my body. Taking it can help me feel better." But the disease is not getting better. These days, my body and bones are getting worse and worse."
Shen Yi: "Has the city lord had any symptoms these days?"
"I'm tired, cough." As soon as Ding Yutao said this, he coughed violently. Ding Fu hurriedly offered a handkerchief, and Ding Yutao took it and covered his mouth. Shen Yi saw that the white silk handkerchief quickly fainted. A ball of bright red.
Ding Fu worriedly said to Shen in a hurry: "Someone will answer the question, please."
Shen nodded, and Ding Fu said: "The city lord's illness is coming very hard. I remember it was May 29th. On that day, the city lord finished handling official duties and just returned to his room when he suddenly fell to the ground. At that time, the city lord said that his legs suddenly had no strength. I thought the city lord was overtired and unsteady on his feet, but while being cautious, I still asked a doctor to check his pulse and prescribe tranquilizing medicine for the city lord. I thought he would be fine after just two days of rest, but who knew that the city lord was in bed from that day to today? Stayed at the hotel. I called all the doctors, but they all said it was due to fatigue and that I need to take good care of myself."
Ding Fu's voice was choked with sobs as he spoke: "The city lord drank a lot, but this body, this body..."
"Ah Fu," Ding Yutao said. Although his voice was soft, Ding Fu immediately stopped and turned to look at Ding Yutao. Before he could speak, Ding Yutao smiled and said, "I'm fine, it's okay."
Ding Yutao originally wanted to comfort Ding Fu, but his smile brought tears to Ding Fu's eyes. If he hadn't thought about Shen Yi's presence, Ding Fu would have burst into tears.
Ding Yutao had no choice but to smile apologetically at Shen Yi: "I am already on my last legs, so don't talk about me. Could the immortal save me, the people of Chengzhou?"
Shen Yi solemnly said: "Shen will do his best."
Ding Yutao looked pleased: "Youlao Xian has grown up, and this situation is all my fault. I am responsible for it alone. How can I, the people of Chengzhou, deserve it!"
Shen Yi took a step forward, waved his hand to call for a soft chair in the room, sat in front of Ding Yutao's bed, and said solemnly: "What can the city lord say?"
Ding Yutao looked sad, with deep guilt in his eyes: "If it hadn't been for my wife's kindness these years, the Wang and Song families would not have acted so arrogantly, causing the death of so many innocent people. If I could have eliminated this place earlier, Report the situation to the Huayang Sect, so those wronged souls will not be able to kill so many innocent people."
Shen Yiyi: "What's going on with the wronged souls, and what's going on with the Wang and Song families? Can the city lord give more details?"
"The Immortal wants to hear it, so I'll tell you everything. Back then..."
"If Ding Yutao hadn't been so confused back then, Chengzhou wouldn't be like this today." Kanyun took a sip of spiritual tea and spread it out on a soft chair, with lingering anger still on his face.
"I think he wants to be a good official, but he can't let go of favors." Jiuze also sat down on the rocking chair beside him and went to inquire about it. Regarding the evil spirits, the others were basically the same as the waiter, but he still let They knew a lot about the lord of Chengzhou City.
"He is dreaming." Khotan said, "A good official does not necessarily have to be upright. At least he must have a clear stance and a clear bottom line. I think Ding Yutao has no bottom line at all and turns a blind eye. No wonder Chengzhou The people don't trust him."
Jiu Ze agreed: "It's true that these two Qingfeng people love the people like their own children. How can it be so simple?" Thinking of what he heard from the people of Chengzhou, Jiu Ze couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, Shen Yi sent a message. In addition to informing Ding Yutao of his condition, he also informed of Ding Yutao's relationship with the Wang and Song families.
Speaking of which, Ding Yutao was considered a competent city lord in the past ten years or so. Ding Yutao's first wife was from the Wang family, and they had a very good relationship. Five years ago, in order to save Ding Yutao, his first wife traded her life for her life, and she died. So far, Ding Yutao felt deeply sad and guilty, and indulged the Wang family in every possible way.
Three years ago, when the second daughter of the Song family came of age, she was seen by Ding Yutao at another banquet. The appearance of Song Er was very similar to that of Ding Yutao's deceased wife. This shocked Ding Yutao greatly, and she has never forgotten Song Er from then on. The Song family Happy to cater to the city lord, he gave Song Er to Ding Yutao.
Ding Yutao was decisive, even if she married Song Er. The Song family was also obedient. Not only was she obedient to Ding Yutao, but she also took the initiative to offer incense in front of the memorial tablet of her original wife Wang during festivals, perform concubine rituals, and copy scriptures.
As a result, Ding Yutao fell more and more in love with the Song family.
On weekdays, I also take more care of Mrs. Song.
It stands to reason that the Wang family should be anxious at this time, but the Wang family was not. When Ding Yutao remembered that he had neglected the Wang family for a long time, he suddenly discovered that the Wang and Song families had already concluded an in-law marriage.
In the past three years, the Wang and Song families have often caused trouble, but they were particularly submissive in front of Ding Yutao. This made Ding Yutao angry and unable to vent his anger. Whenever he made up his mind to deal with the two families, he would see the Momo Song family sitting silently in a secluded room and weeping.
The tears of the person beside him are always particularly effective. At this time, Ding Yutao can no longer be cruel.
In three months, the Wang and Song families joined forces to rob shops and farmland, forcing more than thirty people to death, and falsely accused the surviving family members of these people to be sold as cheap.
After Ding Yutao found out about this, he was furious and severely punished the Wang and Song families. He personally ordered the family members to be retrieved. However, those people could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide.
There were twenty-seven families with fifty-four people in total, and no one survived.
Ding Yutao's reputation also fell to the bottom because of this incident.
He had already issued the City Lord's order to imprison the two families pending trial. Unexpectedly, he fell first, and now the City Lord's order has not been issued.
At the end of the message, Shen Yi wrote: "This is the cause of the evil spirit mentioned by Ding Yutao. Those fifty-four people are the evil spirit this time. Regardless of other things, there must be something fishy about Ding Yutao's illness. I plan to find Minghua." Take a look. What do you think?"
Minghua is Feng Qing's name. After Jiuze read it, he handed the identity card to Tianyun: "What do you think?"
Tianyun glanced at it and hummed: "He's asking you, not me."
Jiuze kicked Khotun: "Stop talking nonsense."
Queyun retracted his feet under the chair in embarrassment, and took advantage of the situation to move back a certain distance with the soft chair, and then said: "I think it's okay, you and I will go to these two houses."
