Early the next morning, in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion.

Li Xin sat motionless in his chair, and the expression on his face was no longer the hip-hop of yesterday.

He looked coldly at the old bustard in front of him who had broken his limbs and bones and was hung up with a rope, and said in a deep voice: "Why bother, it's been a night, let's recruit it, and you can suffer less."

"Hehe, phew. The bustard spat at him, still keeping his head down and silent.

Since he was caught in the dungeon last night, Chang Hongliang has tried various methods, but the other party has never said a word.

This can make Li Xin miserable.

The Heart Devouring Gu in his body was still there, and he couldn't move his body at all.

finally coaxed his wife well, but he couldn't do the same thing.

You can't say to Shang Liyue: Come up, do it yourself.

If you really want to say it, according to her character, she has to beat Li Xin half to death.

In desperation, he had no choice but to come over for interrogation in person to see if he could pry out some useful information.

As a result, there was the scene just now.

Seeing that the old bustard was still a dead duck with a hard mouth and refused to confide half a point, Li Xin fell into deep thought.

I didn't expect her to be so loyal to the forces behind her.

After thinking about it, combined with all the information collected so far, Li Xin's ghost made a surprise sentence: "Old city lord?" Old

bustard: As

soon as ??? words came out, her eyes, which were originally unwavering, actually fluctuated.

Li Xin was keenly aware of this, and continued to ask, "Am I right? He has been secretly supporting the forces of the Poisonous Spider Society, and he will tell me about your plan. "

Kill me. The bustard's voice was hoarse, and suddenly his face turned hideous.

"Don't worry, it's not too late, you tell me your plan, I can guarantee that you will be comfortable before you leave, and you won't have to suffer again. Li Xin replied lightly.

When the old bustard heard this, he closed his eyes, as if he was caught in a memory.

After a long time, she slowly spoke: "Give me a good time."

"Yes.

Li Xin knew that even if they tried to do anything, it would be impossible for them to ask anything from the bustard's mouth, and simply fulfill her wish.

After a pause, he continued, "Then I'll ask you one more question, and I hope you can answer it truthfully. "

Why do you want to kill Xiao Rou and the hermit?"

this matter has always troubled Li Xin.

After the bustard revealed his true face, he felt strange.

Xiao Rou is the girl under the other party's hand, and the hermit is considered the middle level of the Poisonous Spider Society.

Although the two worked for her without knowing it.

But how did two people who are not related to each other meet each other, and make the hermit fall in love with a custom girl and can't extricate himself.

seemed to hear Li Xin's words, and the old bustard grinned at the corners of his mouth oozing blood, and said slowly.

Who knew that her first sentence made Li Xin immediately stunned.

"I had the hermit's ex-wife killed by me, because I found out how he could love someone so much when he was a man with blood on his hands.

"So I'm jealous.

"But I didn't expect that the hermit later seemed to find out that the killer of his wife had something to do with the Spider Society, so he began to find a way to get out of my control.

"Even though I know it's futile, it still disgusts me, but human trafficking is the dirtiest and most dangerous work, and only hermits were willing to do it for me before, and they have always done it well, so when I accidentally found out that Xiao Rou looks very similar to his ex-wife......"

At this point, the bustard deliberately stopped, and his expression became gloomy.

Li Xin frowned: "And then?" "

I killed Xiaorou's parents, bought her man, and sold Xiaorou to me, and I found a way to let the hermit meet Xiaorou, so as to secretly control them.

Li Xin: !!

is so poisonous!

Only then did he understand what the ancients said: the most poisonous woman's heart.

I'm afraid it's the old bustard in front of me who still has the charm.

"So when I knocked down the dens of human trafficking, the hermits and Xiaorou had no use value, right?"

Li Xin asked in a cold tone, and this time the bustard just smiled and didn't speak again.

Then, the dungeon was quiet for more than a minute.

"I see.

Li Xin had already got the answer he wanted, so he slowly closed his eyes and whispered to Sang Huai beside him:

"Do it." "

......

Coming out of the dungeon, Li Xin's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

He didn't know what the bustard had experienced before, and his heart would become so ruthless.

I don't understand what the relationship with the old city lord is, and I refuse to confide in even death.

But Li Xin has no chance to know about these.

Recall that night, the hermit's last look before he died, and the thank you he said with his lips.

Obviously, he succeeded in eradicating the cancer parasitic in Cloudsdale.

Obviously, the hermit is not a good person, and even from the perspective of the law of the Great Merchant, even if he is chopped and fed to the dog, it is cheaper for him to die.

But for some reason, Li Xin always felt that his heart was empty at this time.

After wandering aimlessly around the City Lord's Mansion, Li Xin went to the conference room to find Shang Liyue and Chang Hongliang.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw the latter kneeling in front of Shang Liyue, constantly explaining his mistakes.

Shang Liyue listened with a match.

Seeing him coming, Chang Hongliang got up very interestingly and retired first.

Li Xin sat down beside Shang Liyue, his emotions all written on his face.

Shang Liyue noticed something, and asked with some distress, "My dear, what's wrong with you?"

"It's fine, it's just that my chest is a little stuffy, and I want to talk to you." "

Hmm.

Shang Liyue hummed softly, but after a while, both of them were silent and did not speak.

In the end, Li Xin broke the silence.

"Liyue, be careful of the old lord of Cloudsdale. "

He?" Shang Liyue's eyebrows furrowed, as if she didn't quite understand.

Li Xin briefly recounted his suspicions and the bustard's reaction before he died.

After hearing this, Shang Liyue thought for a while, nodded and replied, "I know, I will send someone to investigate privately."

"Well, that's good.

Li Nobunaga breathed a sigh of relief, wanting to spit out all the gloom in his heart, and then looked at the other party.

"How is the matter discussed in Storm City going now?"

Shang Liyue replied, "Everything is going well, the adventurer's guilds in various cities are all in preparation, and new laws for strangers are being drafted, and it is expected that they will be promulgated in the next two days."

After that, she thought of something again, and continued: "By the way, I heard that you are going to go to the territory of the elves in a while?" "

That's right, I promised to escort those two elven brothers and sisters back, and then see if I can change jobs there." Li Xin did not hide it, and simply replied.

"In this way, you must be careful, after all, in the territory of the elves, even if there is a rune paper given to you by me, I cannot step into it at will, which will cause the elves to be jealous of the great merchants.

Shang Liyue instructed uneasily, and Li Xin nodded in response.

After a while, Shang Liyue sighed lightly: "There have been a lot of things in the court recently, and the fortifications to resist the attack of the monsters are also in the most critical construction period.

Li Xin understood the meaning of her words.

Shang Liyue was saying that she couldn't stay in Cloudsdale for too long this time.

"I know, Liyue, you need to pay more attention to your body.

Looking at the other party's somewhat guilty expression, Li Xin suddenly grinned, "That damn Heart-Eater Gu is gone, why don't we go and make up for last night's regret now?"

Shang Liyue raised her head and glanced at the sunlight outside, her face flushing unconsciously.

"What's this?"

"Anyway, when the door is locked, who knows." As

soon as the words fell, Li Xin had already gotten up from his chair.

Seeing that Shang Liyue was still hesitating, he grabbed the other party's slender hand.

"Oh, it's all here, so why don't you leave something behind and leave?"

Everything, wonderfully ԅ ( ̄ᄇ ̄ԅ).
