Rebirth of Abandoned Women

Chapter 492 Please Follow Me to the City Lord's Mansion! (4)
"Subordinate Xiao Yi, pay homage to the city lord." The young man in the city guard saluted a middle-aged man in his 40s.

The middle-aged man, wearing only a plain Tsing Yi, is not arrogant, powerful, and obviously not tall, but he feels insurmountable. People can only bow their heads in front of him and get down to business. The lord of the city, Tao Wanshan, a great master in the late innate stage.

"Get up! Xiao Yi, you are in such a hurry to see me, but something is wrong?" Tao Wanshan City Lord asked lightly.

Xiao Yi was the captain of the former city guard, stood up and said, "This subordinate has something to report to the city lord."

Tao Wanshan didn't speak.

Xiao Yi understood the temper of the city lord, paused, and said: "Today, my subordinates saw that person."

Tao Wanshan's squinted eyes opened immediately, and he looked at Xiao Yi sharply. Seeing that Xiao Yi's expression remained unchanged, he slowed down and asked, "Oh? How does she look?"

Xiao Yi looked even more respectful, and said, "She looks fine, she's not injured, and she's in good spirits."

Tao Wanshan nodded and stopped talking.

Xiao Yi's heart was like a cat's paw, and he became more and more curious about the identity of that person.

He has never seen that the city lord pays so much attention to a person, even the dead lady, he doesn't pay so much attention to it!
He knew that the city lord did not close the gates, but only entered and could not, just to wait for that person.

As soon as the man came to the new city, he blocked the city gate the next day.

Moreover, the city lord is also very strange, he is obviously paying attention to that person, but he refuses to let her find out, it is just doing it secretly, which is really confusing.

That person is the enemy of the city lord, right?That sure doesn't look like it.

If it was really the enemy of the city lord, the woman would have died long ago.

Originally, when he saw her today, he thought that the city lord had taken a fancy to her.After all, that person is really good-looking, and it is not impossible for Cheng to take the initiative and want the old cow to eat young grass.

But now, he was not sure again.

Because, he noticed that although the city lord cared about that woman, he was not overly concerned, even with a trace of caution and alienation, as if she was some kind of scourge.

Caring, but not getting close, could it be that the identity of a woman makes him jealous?
Xiao Yi felt as if he had touched the truth.

However, what kind of identity is that woman who can make the city lord so caring?
Xiao Yi thought of this and didn't dare to think about it anymore.Even the city lord kept a secret and didn't dare to mention it, it must be not easy, so why should he think too much?

Seeing that he hadn't left yet, Tao Wanshan glanced at him and asked, "What else do you need?"

Xiao Yi said: "City Master, there was a murder case at the Tongfu Inn today. After I went down, I found out that the justice of the deceased was very similar to that of the young lady. He died alive, and he was also a congenital early-stage warrior. Now, that The human body has already been brought back by the subordinates."

"Bring it in!" Tao Wanshan's expression condensed a little, and he said calmly, but there was a trace of killing intent in the depths of his eyes.

As soon as the words fell, two city guards walked in carrying a stretcher and placed them three meters away from the city lord.

Xiao Yi stepped forward to uncover the white cloth on the corpse with his own hands, revealing the look of He Si's death.

With Tao Wanshan's eyesight, he could see it clearly, but he still walked over, looked carefully at the big hole in He Si's chest, stretched out his fingers, picked up a trace of blood, put it on the tip of his nose, and smelled it. Only then said: "That's right, it's the same person, even the taste left in the blood is very similar."

Xiao Yi nodded.

Tao Wanshan asked, "Are there any suspects?"

Xiao Yi said: "The murderer is most likely in the Tongfu Inn." Then, he added, "She is also in that inn, and it seems that some people suspect that she did it."

"No, it's not her!" Tao Wanshan said with certainty, without any doubts.

Xiao Yi never thought it was her, after all, she just came to this new city yesterday.

What's more, the city lord obviously knew her whereabouts.

"Someone suspects her? Who is that person?" Tao Wanshan asked with a frown.

Seeing that the city lord cared so much about her, Xiao Yi was no longer surprised, and said, "My subordinates feel that someone deliberately led the suspicion of murder to her, and many people in the inn suspected it was her. After all, that inn, Only she is a mid-born female warrior."

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!" The city lord frowned even more, and after taking two steps on the spot, he said: "You take someone to invite her to the city lord's mansion, and you should be more respectful."

"Yes!" Xiao Yi said.

Xiao Yi was about to leave when Tao Wanshan suddenly stopped him, "Wait! When inviting her, be casual, don't be too respectful, but don't be rude either."

"Huh?" Xiao Yi was puzzled.

Tao Wanshan didn't seem to see his doubts, and said directly: "Go down!"

Xiao Yi left in a daze.

Xiao Yi didn't understand what was going on until he walked out of the City Lord's Mansion.

The city lord wants to kill two birds with one stone!

The city lord was worried about that person's safety, and wanted to tell her to come to the city lord's mansion to protect her on the spot.However, he was not reconciled and easily let the murderer go.So he wanted to use his tactics to create a false impression for everyone, making them think that that person was the real murderer.The real murderer may relax his vigilance and reveal his whereabouts.

In this way, the person can be protected, and the murderer can be caught, killing two birds with one stone.

Moreover, the city lord suspects that the real murderer is hiding in the Tongfu Inn.

There are quite a few treasures that can hide their cultivation base. The murderer is so cautious that he will not be exposed easily, so he has to find a way to force the murderer to do it.

This is an opportunity.

At that time, they will exclude the most elite fighters and closely monitor everyone in the Tongfu Inn, not believing that they will show their flaws.

After Xiao Yi figured it out, he immediately felt relaxed. The sky was blue, the water was clear, and his steps became lighter.

When Xiao Yi arrived at Tongfu Inn, Liu Muxi was meditating in the room, when he suddenly heard a commotion below.

Liu Muxi opened his eyes, and heard the movement inside through the screen, apparently Zhu Zi also woke up.

"Sister Liu, what's going on outside?" Zhu Zi asked.

Liu Muxi said: "Don't worry about it so much, it has nothing to do with us anyway, just take a good rest."

"En." Just as Zhu Zi answered, the two heard hurried footsteps running towards them, and then there was an even more hasty knock on the door——

"Miss Liu, are you there?"

Liu Muxi heard that it was the boy's voice.

"What's wrong?" Liu Muxi asked.

"Oh, don't ask, why don't you go quickly? The city guards are coming to arrest you." The boy said eagerly.
