The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 936 Finding the Dungeon
The nobles seemed to have their eyes closed, and began to doze off as if they had fallen asleep. In fact, most of them were awake, and everyone was pretending to be asleep.

Because at this time, they don't really want to sleep. As people who participated in the dance, they are all used to the life of going to bed late and waking up late, and they go to bed very late.

Night is the stage for them, especially those male nobles who are mostly looking for suitable opportunities in the ball, such as finding a suitable alliance with each other, looking for opportunities to make a fortune, and looking for lovers by the way.

Most of the last type are men, whoever makes the ball the place where the most adult female members of the aristocrats appear, it doesn't matter after a night of flirting, and some people develop from it and become stage lovers.

Of course, because people of the aristocratic class held dances every now and then, they became very familiar with each other, and some people felt that they were too familiar, and lost the sense of freshness and excitement.

They began to look for fresher lovers, so in addition to looking for noble women as lovers, there are generally beautiful girls from the commoner class who become nobles' lovers.

After all, beauty can be regarded as a scarce resource. There will always be some people who choose this path in order to be able to live and to make themselves live better.

Nobles would bring their lovers to the party, but generally they would not marry commoner women as wives. The higher the rank of the nobles, the less likely they were to marry independently. Most of their wives were noble women of the same rank, and they were completely matched.

Most noble men and women know this rule. Even if they don't like each other at all when they are together, there will never be love, and they still can't get rid of their marriage. Fortunately, there is a system of lovers that allows them to develop independently.

This is also the reason why nobles are so keen on participating in the dance party. They can relax and rest at the dance party. If everyone wants to find suitable opportunities and people, they often have to play until the middle of the night before going home.

After attending the ball, they go home and sleep until dawn before getting up to do some things. They are used to the reversal of morning and evening, which means that they are mostly night owls.

They are used to nightlife, naturally they will not fall asleep so early, this is not the time for them to start sleeping, at this moment they can't fall asleep at all.

Not only is it a matter of living habits, but also because they are under semi-house arrest because they have something on their minds. Even the most conscientious people want to know how the duel between the association and the city lord will go.

After this incident happened, there would definitely be some problems in Windfurnace City, because the association was too strong, and if it was their turn, would they be targeted by the association? I'm afraid they might not be as good as the city lord.

The sensible nobles felt that something was wrong, and the discord between the association and the city lord was also on the surface. I am afraid that this incident will cause the city lord's dissatisfaction.

As a tiger-style city lord, I am afraid that he will think about settling accounts after the fall, and the association is really impatient this time. Whoever made several pharmacists disappear, this is the seventh. No wonder the association would rather turn their backs and find someone.

The association is reasonable in this matter, but the city lord is not a reasonable person, and there will be troubles in the future, so most of the nobles tried to pretend not to care about the possible storm after they came in, but they were actually in a mess.

Therefore, after getting together, they really want to know if other people have something they don't know, but other people think the same way, and the communication with each other is more of a test rather than an exchange of information.

Just kidding, if you really have information that other people don't know, you have to hide it, or exchange the information and resources you need, and give the information to others for free. That's what fools do.

Ling Xiao watched from the sidelines at the time, and couldn't help complaining when he saw this scene of mutual probing and calculation: These nobles are all foxes for thousands of years, what are they playing in Liaozhai! (1)

They find that they can't get more information, and there is no other place to go, and there is nothing else they want to do. At this time, some people with a heart are too lazy to flirt around and enrich their love history.

After all, they are now under semi-house arrest here, so it is naturally impossible to have that kind of interest in making fun, and they are worried that they don't know how things will develop, so they don't feel sleepy.

But knowing that no other information can be obtained from other people, it is impossible for each other to tell the truth to other people.Gathering in one place is just saying some clichés, repeating those few sentences over and over again, there is nothing new at all.

As a result, everyone's interest in talking together gradually decreases, and they feel drowsy when they feel that they have nothing to say.And this appearance of wanting to sleep is more of a pretense, to protect himself.

As nobles, although they have allies, for the sake of greater interests, allies will turn against each other, so even if they are familiar with each other, they are somewhat wary of each other, not to mention there are so-called enemies.

In order to keep their own cakes, the nobles in Windfurnace City held together separately, and sometimes had conflicts of interest. The big incident that broke out this time allowed them to temporarily eliminate their barriers and sit together.

But soon I realized that I thought too well of other people. Even at this time, they were all cunning and cunning, and their words were all clichés. There was not a single truth that could be believed, nor did they reveal some really useful clues.

There is nothing to say about this, because I also have the same attitude, thinking of empty hands and white wolves. After all, as a smart person, I know very well that some things only benefit a few people. If there are more people, wouldn't my cake be divided?

Smart people with this kind of mentality will not release their true information. What they say is completely deceiving others, saying insincere words, but expecting others to tell the truth, and they get nothing.

After exploring each other and finding that the other party refused to release any news, they began to pretend to be asleep, because they really couldn't continue talking, and there was no other place to go, let alone go on a date with their lover, so they adopted this method.

Their hearts flew out a long time ago, thinking about the situation outside, some people regretted it very much, hey!Didn't get any more news at all.

If we knew earlier, it would be better to find someone on our own to be a witness outside, so that we could know the situation earlier than others.Why!Someone lamented in their hearts, some mistakes!

The old and cunning nobles were actually unwilling to go out to be witnesses, because they might offend the city lord, but the association insisted that someone be a witness, so the weaker nobles were kicked out to be witnesses.

The powerful nobles can sit there and wait for the news. Once something happens, they can see the situation and determine what to do. In the eyes of the nobles, this is really a good way to attack and retreat.

But if you really sit here and don't know anything, some people will feel regretful. You should send someone to look at the situation, and if you have any problems, please notify your own people as soon as possible.

But now it’s too late, and there is no way to add people in. The people sitting in the hall have nothing to say, and they can’t find any new information, so they can only pretend that they want to sleep.

At this time, the people from the association had searched most of the city lord's mansion. Those who searched knew the layout of the city lord's mansion, but so far no missing persons have been found.

This made those nobles who followed the testimonies sweat coldly on behalf of the people of the association. If they couldn't find out, the association might not be able to give an explanation to the city lord. What should we do?
Those nobles who followed wanted to cry, because even if the people from the association were to tear themselves apart with Wind Furnace City, it would be more difficult to do in the future, and they would not stay in Wind Furnace City forever. The most unlucky people were those who were forced to testify People may be hated by the city lord.

The more you think about it, the more you feel that something is wrong, and at the end you feel that you can't lift your legs, what should you do?The footsteps became a bit procrastinated, wishing that they hadn't come to this damn dance. Although they couldn't escape, they could deliberately pretend that they were extremely tired.

Kun naturally sensed the impatience of the other party, but pretended not to know anything. Anyway, the other party is just a tool for testifying, so there is no need to be too polite.

And he naturally knew how to find the hidden corpses, but in order to play well, it is absolutely impossible to go straight to the dungeon without checking elsewhere. Doesn't this make others see that something is wrong?
Therefore, he really searched the city lord's mansion, just like this little by little. In fact, the members of the association divided several groups of people to search. No matter how big the city lord's mansion is, it is limited, and the dungeon location was searched in the early hours of the morning.

Most of the people in the City Lord's Mansion were controlled, and only a small number of people followed. They were a little nervous at first, but later found that the people from the association had no reason to do so, and their mentality suddenly relaxed.

But when the people who discovered the association went to the dungeon and found the secret switch of the dungeon, and even turned on the switch to search the dungeon, the mentality of the people in the City Lord's Mansion changed again. They didn't want the people from the association to search.

Therefore, that place has the darkest part of the City Lord’s Mansion—the dungeon. They have been to that place before, so they naturally know the rules there. People who are caught and entered basically cannot get out. What comes out is not a corpse, and even if they don’t live long .

That's why they didn't feel good when they noticed that the people from the association turned to the dungeon. It's not good to find such a place. Fortunately, someone remembered that the city owner had to clean up the people who were originally imprisoned there.

The city lord also said at the time that it would be cheaper for those who died. You must know that many people simply can't ask for death after they arrive, and their last hope is to die quickly.Because of the association, the city lord finally executed those people.

People from the City Lord's Mansion who followed the association included those who were responsible for helping the City Lord deal with matters. Those who died were thrown into the Gobi Desert. Even if someone encountered them, they would not be able to recognize who they were.

As a person involved, I naturally feel uncomfortable seeing this place now, because I know how many innocent souls there are, and I am also a little afraid that people from the association will find out the problem, even if there are no so-called victims there.

Naturally, they didn't know Ling Xiao's plan. Although there were no previous victims, it didn't mean that there were no other victims. One had to be created. Ling Xiao wanted to hit the nail on the head and make the evildoers have nowhere to go.

The thoughts of those people in the City Lord's Mansion are not important, even if they want to stop them, they can't do it. Will Kun listen to their dissuasion?Of course not, at first the people in the City Lord's Mansion just dissuaded them, and later even blocked the front to prevent them from entering.

What they don't know is that the National People's Congress has that kind of characteristic: the more it is not allowed to enter, the more curiosity is aroused to go in and have a look, even the nobles who are watching are a little more interested, sweeping away the decadence and procrastination just now , began eagerly.

In fact, they are completely unfamiliar with the City Lord's Mansion. Naturally, they don't know that there is such a hidden place here, and someone prevents them from entering. There was no such situation before. Could there be a problem?

The more people are not allowed to enter, the more people's curiosity is aroused. For a while, many people entered the dungeon, and the first reaction of those guarding the dungeon was to drive the outsiders away, but they were restrained by the association and started searching , the prepared body was found.

Everyone was shocked when the news came, so it would be difficult for the association to do so if they could not be found, but if they could be found, the city lord would need to give the association an answer.

In the end, the stiff and whitish body was carried out and placed in an open space, and the nobles under semi-house arrest also got the news. Those who were more courageous went to watch the fun, and those who were timid were even more afraid to move. Gathered in one place out of fear.

There were many people around the corpse in the open space. Although they didn't dare to get too close, they took a special look at it. It was indeed a human corpse, not something to fool people.

After seeing the corpse, most of the people dared not speak. The scene was silent, and the wind blew through the open space. For a while, there was a bit of a gloomy feeling, which made the people around tremble. Some timid people frightened I almost peed.

They really want to know what the people in the association want to do, and who is this corpse?Could it be the missing female pharmacist?The mayor overturned?

And they saw the city lord being carried over, he was very unhappy at the moment, his body was not feeling well, and he was woken up from his sleep, so he was naturally very unhappy, after losing his temper, he was forced to be brought here by the association .

The city lord couldn't help but feel wrong when he saw the corpse. Why is there a corpse in the dungeon?It shouldn't be!How could there be a corpse after clearing the dungeon?

Could it be that someone deliberately plotted against him?Thinking of this, he muttered, hateful!Obviously knowing that his health is not good, but deliberately tossing himself.

The city lord felt that something was wrong, but he was more anxious. What happened to this corpse?A bunch of trash, this corpse was definitely framed by someone, but it was hard to get rid of this pot of dirty water.

If it wasn't for his poor health, the city lord would probably yell at him. As expected, the people in the association are all JI thieves. Of course, he would not give up the opportunity to clean himself up, so he asked, "How can you be sure that the dead is a female pharmacist?"

The nobles who were on the sidelines also watched with some curiosity, because the face of the female corpse had been beaten, so that it was impossible to see what that face looked like.

Therefore, the city lord absolutely does not want to admit that this is the female pharmacy master, and he absolutely does not want to admit that he has done something wrong.His statement naturally won the approval of some people, after all, it is impossible to tell who it is.

The nobles who agreed were to maintain the dignity of the nobles. No matter what the reason was, they hoped that the city lord could step down with dignity, rather than being forced to step down after being caught by the association.

Kun naturally saw that he had already discussed the relevant procedures with Ling Xiao, and the reason why he didn't stop the city lord from asking questions was to consolidate the death of the female pharmacy master.

And Ling Xiao, the planner of this scheme, was also watching, this was to prevent possible accidents, because she knew that there was a bug in the corpse: You must know that although the body began to stiffen one to three hours after death, it was only a short period of time. Increase the stiffness little by little, and the whole body will be stiff after about sixteen hours.

Naturally, the found corpses couldn't do this step, and they had already started to stiffen all over. If there was a veteran who had been working for many years at this scene, he might find something was wrong.

If it is absolutely impossible to escape the inspection in modern society, this kind of fake method cannot pass the customs. Not only the corpse has stiffness problems, but also the DNA testing method, which will be dismantled soon. Fortunately, this world does not have that technology.

Kun of the association has a cold expression on his face at the moment. The city lord looks like an enemy. Others can tell at a glance that the people in the association believe that the deceased is the missing person. For a while, most of the nobles decided to stand by and watch.

The cronies who followed Kun naturally didn't know that this was designed long ago. It was a deliberate plan to plot against the city lord. This time it was revenge, but the people in the association still knew that the city lord was the enemy of the association. At this moment, they were staring at the city lord's mansion with anger. people.

Kun intends to take advantage of this, to claim the body as its own, and to take the body away after charges are charged and find a suitable place for burial.After a period of time, the corpse turns into real white bones, and it will not be easy to pass through.

The two pharmacists also rushed over when they heard the news. They were stunned for a moment, and then found that the female pharmacist was really dead. She suffered a lot of crimes before she died. cry.

Some people don't quite believe it, so they ask how they recognized it?After all, they are all members of the Association, so they may lie no matter how they look at it. Fortunately, there is another witness, the maid of the City Lord's Mansion.

The maid looked at the corpse, and immediately turned pale with fright, and tremblingly told the others that the clothes on the corpse were worn by the female pharmacist to the ball.

This is not a gorgeous dress, but it also costs some money. This is a dress given by the City Lord's Mansion.It was sent by the maid, and now it is stained with blood, and there are some dirt dragged on the ground.
