"This... please make it clear to Envoy Tan!" Ning Wuji was obviously stunned. He didn't expect the envoy of this dynasty to be so direct.

However, he still pretended to know nothing.

"Has there been a guest in Ning Mansion these days?" Messenger Tan asked calmly.

"Exactly, he is an old friend of mine, but unfortunately, he has left today! If I had known that Messenger Tan was interested in him, I would have let him stay one more day!" Ning Wuji looked regretful.

said.

"Old friend? Since when did City Lord Ning have such a powerful old friend?" The Tan messenger looked at Ning Wuji indifferently and said.

Ning Wuji is only in the Nascent Soul stage now, which is already considered a very good strength among the city lords of a third-level city. However, when Cheng Yu left, he had already been secretly investigating Cheng Yu.

Now Cheng Yu's strength is unfathomable, and even he can't find out what kind of strength it is. And he is in the early stage of integration, so based on a simple judgment, the opponent is at least in the Mahayana stage of strength.

It is not an exaggeration to say that a Nascent Soul stage and a Mahayana stage are the same as the earth and the sky. How could a small city lord of Ningshui City have an old friend of a master in the Mahayana stage?

Ever since he got the news five days ago that someone had entered the Ning Mansion, he had been sending people to investigate this big man. However, with little success, he originally wanted to use the Ning Mansion's internal agent Pang Butler, but he learned that Pang Butler had been arrested.

Ning Wuji was expelled from the Ning Mansion.

Suddenly, his subordinates found Butler Pang and learned from Butler Pang that it was because of the big man's identity that he was expelled from the Ning Mansion by Ning Wuji.

Although not much information is known from Butler Pang, what is certain is that there is a secret between the two of them.

The dynasty sent him to Ningshui City to investigate Ning Wuji, but in the past year, no suspicious person entered the Ning Mansion, which made him very annoyed.

Because if he doesn't find the murderer who destroyed the Fang family, he will have no way to return to the dynasty. Now that this somewhat mysterious man appears, it naturally makes him suspicious.

Moreover, Xu Quan was originally in the late stage of integration, and even he was captured alive. So this person's strength is at least the Mahayana stage, which is somewhat consistent with this big man.

Therefore, he was even more suspicious that this big man was the murderer who destroyed the Fang family, that is, one of those mysterious men in black robes.

However, during these five days, he had no chance to send people into Ning Mansion to inquire about the news between the two of them.

Now that the big man has left, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, he first sent people to follow the big man. Then he came to Ning Mansion to inquire about the news. If this big man was really the original murderer, he must not be allowed to escape.

However, judging from the current situation, Ning Wuji seems to be hiding the truth and unwilling to tell the truth!

"This is actually an old friend I met by chance. I didn't know the strength of this old friend at that time." Ning Wuji knew that the envoy named Tan would not believe him easily, but there was no way he could tell Cheng Yu anything.

's true identity.

"City Master Ning, you should know that your current status is all due to the support of our dynasty. And our dynasty has always needed a loyal person.

If City Lord Ning cannot cooperate with me, it will be difficult for me to do business when I return to the dynasty. By then, it will be difficult for City Lord Ning to keep his position as City Lord!" Messenger Tan couldn't help but see Ning Wuji playing Tai Chi with him.

His face turned a little cold.

"Envoy Tan, Ning has never dared to forget the dynasty's kindness to Ning. But everything I just said is true. That big man is indeed an old friend of mine. Envoy Tan, please take a closer look!" Ning Wuji said with sincerity and fear.

Although the position of the city lord is very important to him, the life of his daughter is more important to him. It is impossible for him to betray his daughter for the position of the city lord.

Moreover, due to the oppression of the dynasty, he had already sold his daughter once and had to marry her to Fang Qingping.

Fortunately, he was rescued by Cheng Yu later, otherwise, his daughter would still know what the outcome would be.

If this dynasty really wants to depose him as city lord, he won't care. Although he may no longer be able to obtain resources in the future, at least he has regained his freedom and no longer has to live in such intrigues.

"Hmph! It seems that City Lord Ning is determined to conceal the truth. I won't talk in circles with you anymore. Was your daughter saved by him?" Messenger Tan saw that threatening Ning Wuji had no effect, and he no longer had any patience.

, asked directly.

"Messenger Tan, where do you start talking about this? I have never seen my daughter Wushuang since she married into the Fang family. The Fang family suffered a great disaster and was destroyed in one day. It has been more than a year now, and I have not even seen my daughter.

I don’t know whether my daughter is alive or dead, so how can my friend be the one to save my daughter?" Ning Wuji said with a sad look on his face.

"In that case, can you provide evidence to prove that you are innocent and that your friend was not the murderer who killed the Fang family back then?"

"Messenger Tan, aren't you deliberately trying to embarrass me? This friend of mine comes and goes without a trace. Usually he is the only one looking for me. Now that he has left, where can I go to help you find him?

Woolen cloth?

Moreover, everything I just said is true. I, Ning, walk upright and sit upright, so how can I dare to deceive the messenger?" Ning Wuji said with a bitter face.

Although Messenger Tan looked ugly and had even turned over the cards with Ning Wuji, he had no evidence and he couldn't really do anything to Ning Wuji.

After all, everything he has now is just speculation, and he has already sent people to follow those people. If they find out the truth by then, it will not be too late to take tough measures against Ning Wuji.

He had thought about using torture on Ning Wuji, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. Ning Wuji was a resolute person, and even torture might not be able to force him to submit. He had to wait until there was a result.

"Since Lord Ning said so, Tan has no reason not to believe in Lord Ning's loyalty. However, I may need to stay in Ning Mansion for a while during this period!" Messenger Tan calmed down and looked at Ning Wuji and said.

"It is Ning's honor that Messenger Tan is willing to stay in Ning's Mansion. I will arrange a room right now, and at the same time have people prepare wine and delicacies to welcome Messenger Tan and wash away his dust!" Ning Wuji saw that Messenger Tan did not continue to press the question.

, I was relieved in my heart.

He didn't think it was a good thing that Messenger Tan wanted to stay in Ning Mansion. He clearly wanted to stay in Ning Mansion to monitor him.

However, now that Cheng Yu has left and his daughter is well, he no longer cares. No matter how long the man named Tan stays with him, it doesn't matter to him.

Messenger Tan nodded and said nothing more, letting Ning Wuji arrange everything for him.
