The City Lord was drinking fresh tea in his mansion, and his beautiful concubine was kneeling on his lap, massaging his legs. He looked very carefree.
But in less than a moment, a servant of the City Lord's Mansion rushed over and knelt in front of the City Lord with a pale face.
"What's the matter? Why are you so flustered? Don't you have any manners?" The City Lord frowned as he picked up his teacup and said unhappily.
"City Lord! Something has happened!! "the servant said nervously.
"Something happened? The Clear Breeze City has always been peaceful and stable. What could possibly happen? "The City Lord said disapprovingly.
"Liu Er … Liu Er hasn't come back yet …"
The City Lord frowned slightly. Liu Er was a hired thug in his residence. The City Lord worked hard to maintain his benevolent and righteous image in the name of the Venerable One, but in reality, he had given Liu Er the task of handling some unspeakable matters. Today, he even sent Liu Er to the north of the city to deal with the matters of the lofts.
"Not back yet? Liu Er, this lazy bone, is really getting more and more procrastinating. "The City Lord said unhappily.
The servant said, "No … I just sent someone to the north of the city to take a look, but I heard that Liu Er and the others were killed in the north of the city!"
With a loud crash, the teacup in the City Lord's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. He stared at the servant with wide eyes filled with disbelief.
"What did you say? Who killed Liu Er?! "
"I don't know either. I only know that the people that Liu Er brought along all died in the north of the city. As for who did it, I couldn't find out."
"Useless thing!" The City Lord stood up with a swoosh. Liu Er had helped him with many things. Although he was a fox using the tiger's might, he was still rather efficient in his work. He was also good at using threats and promises, and had never made any mistakes. However, the City Lord never would have thought that he had only asked Liu Er to make things difficult for the refugees in the north of the city, so that those vermin could get out of the city as soon as possible. In the end, Liu Er had actually been beaten to death so inexplicably!
What was even more frightening was that they actually couldn't find out who did it!
"What's going on? You bunch of idiots! Are you all useless?! That was more than ten lives! How could it be gone just like that? " The City Lord's expression turned ugly. He had thought that the matter in the northern part of the city would be easily resolved. He had even begun to release the news of the sale of those pavilions.
But in just half a day, things had already exceeded his expectations!
The servant, who had been scolded, said with a tearful face, "I have already sent people to sneak in and try to find out the truth about Liu Er's death from the refugees' mouths, but I don't know what's going on with those people. They were originally very easy to fool, but when it came to this matter, they either avoided it or were unwilling to say much. We really couldn't get anything out of them."
"Trash! What a bunch of trash! " The Mayor's good mood completely disappeared. He did not care about Liu Er's life or death, but what really made him anxious was the situation in the north of the city. If he could not chase the refugees out of the north of the city, the Venerable One would definitely blame him.
"Now! All of you, prepare immediately. Bring a troop of soldiers and follow me to the north of the city! I would really like to see just what kind of person would dare to behave so atrociously in my Clear Breeze City! " The City Lord said in a rage. He could ignore everything else, but when it involved the Venerable One's interests, even he could not afford to bear the consequences. At that moment, he could not sit still any longer!
