"So, what is going on? How come these people just arrested us and ignored us?"

Gu Shu lay on Sang Ying's shoulder and muttered, his tone full of anger.

The man in armor is indeed the city guard of the city lord's palace, which Sang Ying and the others can also see. After all, they are here to find something, and the current city lord is also an old acquaintance of theirs.

Sang Ying and her entourage didn't want to make things too ugly, so they thought they could go to the city lord's palace and meet the city lord, instead of explaining the matter clearly. So they didn't take action with the city guards and followed back to the city lord's palace obediently.

.

But they didn't expect that after the city guards brought them back, they were thrown into prison without any intention of taking them to see the city lord.

During this period, a jailer also came to inspect, and Duan Hanyi couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you say you would bring us here to find out the case? Why did you just lock us up here and leave us alone? When can we see the city lord?"

The jailer glanced at them sideways and said in a very rude tone: "Want to see the city lord? The city lord is busy with everything, so where can you meet him just when you say he wants to? Besides, it's still early to find out the origin of the corpse. You guys just wait.

.”

After that, the jailer was about to leave.

Sang Ying saw that something was wrong, so she also asked: "May I ask in which room the body was found, and whether it was a man, a woman, a monk or a mortal?"

"Tsk, why do you have so many questions?" the jailer said impatiently, "Don't you know whether he is a boy or a girl? What are you doing here, why are you acting here?"

Sang Ying frowned slightly, but her tone remained firm: "Please let me know."

The jailer looked over impatiently, but when he saw Sang Ying's face, he was discouraged and stammered: "Yes, it's Room A, No. 3."

After saying these words, he left the cell in a slight panic.

Outside the cell, the captain of the city guard who had just led people to arrest Sang Ying and his party was waiting for the jailer to appear.

As soon as the jailer walked out of the cell, the captain stepped forward and asked, "How are they? Are those people clamoring to see the city lord?"

"To be honest, Brother Li, you really got it right. Not only were these people not afraid, they even took the initiative to say that they wanted to see us in the city. However, I didn't agree. I just said that the city lord was very busy and didn't have time to see them.

"The jailer said cheerfully.

Hearing this, the man praised the jailer a few words, and then continued: "Those foreign monks seem to have some power and background. If they were to meet the city lord, they would definitely use their power to put pressure on the city lord.

We won't be able to lock them up for a few days, and they will be released. Then won't our Moonless City's rules become a joke?"

The jailer, who was originally a little worried about what he was doing, immediately nodded in agreement, but he still asked with some concern: "Then let's lock them up like this for a few days. They won't complain to the city lord after they come out, right?"

The man laughed and patted the jailer on the shoulder: "Don't worry, the city lord is busy to begin with, and we are right. At worst, I will delay this case for a few days, and let them suffer some pain first. Wait until everything is investigated.

It’s clear that if they are convicted, even if they complain to the city lord, the city lord will not listen.”

Thinking of his own city lord's selfless character, the jailer was completely relieved.

He assured the man: "Brother Li, don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will never let them have a good life in the cell!"

"With your words, I feel relieved." The man known as "Brother Li" smiled when he heard this.

Sang Ying and the others who were locked in the cell did not know about this conversation, and they did not even realize that the people in the City Lord's Mansion were deliberately targeting them.

Everyone's attention was focused on the corpse that appeared inexplicably.

"The jailer said that the body was found in Room A, No. 3, but I lived in that room. Jiang Zhuoxue had already set up many formations for me on the day I moved in. It is not easy to break in from the outside. In

There are many people in the inn, and once someone attacks the formation, there will definitely be some noise, and people will definitely find out." Sang Ying nodded her chin and analyzed.

Jiang Zhuoxue caught her words and continued: "So, the body was not brought in from outside, but from inside the inn."

The only people who could not be blocked by the formation were the few owners of the room and the waiter of the inn. And if the waiter brought something into the guest's room, it would be the least likely to attract attention.

Now that everything has been said, everyone understands it more or less.

Duan Hanyi spat out the grass in his mouth: "So when did Yu Heng get in touch with the people from Zhuri Hall? Zhuri Hall has actually infiltrated all its forces into Wuyue City, so tell me.

Is there a Zhuri Hall in the City Lord’s Mansion?”

Everyone was silent for a while, because they knew without guessing that they could find their location in the alley so accurately, and they happened to catch them as soon as they rescued Yu Heng. There is no Zhuri Hall in the City Lord's Mansion.

, they don’t believe it.

"Then, are we going to wait in the cell like this for Lord Liu to receive him?" Gu Shu asked in a low voice.

What answered him was the overlapping voices of Sang Ying and Jiang Zhuoxue: "Of course not!"

They will never sit still and wait for death!

Also not waiting for death, of course there is Zhuri Hall.

Just as Sang Ying and others guessed, Yu Heng was indeed an important figure in Zhuri Hall. He had been joining Zhuri Hall for a long time and had almost reached the position of manager.

Originally, as long as his mission to assassinate Wuming went smoothly, he would be able to take a step closer to Zhuri Hall after returning.

Unexpectedly, he happened to meet Sang Ying and others who were interfering, causing his mission to fall short. He even found out the truth that Zhuri Hall had hidden for so long.

Looking at the apprentice in front of him who was trying hard to help him untie the immortal rope, Yu Heng suddenly felt that knowing the truth would only make him more painful.

The young apprentice had a straightforward temper, and even though he couldn't pull the rope away, he still struggled with him. Seeing that he was about to bite, Yu Heng quickly held down his head to prevent him from continuing.

"Master, I can't open it." He said pitifully.

Yu Heng was helpless, he already knew the power of this rope when it suddenly had magical power and wanted to bring him back to Sang Ying.

Fortunately, only Yu Heng's upper body was tied up, which allowed him to continue walking freely.

With this thought in mind, he comforted his disciple and said, "Okay, don't cry and cry here. Once I dismantle such a good baby, I will give it to you to play with!"

The young apprentice's depressed expression finally recovered slightly.

However, the warmth between the two of them did not last long. Soon someone broke into the house of the master and the apprentice and said coldly to Yu Heng: "The hall master is looking for you and wants to ask about those foreign monks."

thing."

The visitor was wearing a robe embroidered with blue patterns. Yu Heng knew with just one glance that he was the apostle in blue under the master's command.

The young apprentice hid behind Yu Heng in fear. Yu Heng reached out and patted his back, and replied to the man: "I know, I'll go right away."

Go now and take a look at the hypocrisy of that bitch!
