Chapter 66: Collusion
"Husband, your crying is so real!" At this time, Qingsi came out and whispered in Shen Lang's ear.
"My acting is so realistic!" Shen Lang said, "You didn't see that they were all infected by me!"
"You must be embarrassed to point out that you were pretending to be crying!" She smiled while covering her face with her black hair.
Shen Lang touched his nose and it seemed to be the case.
When I returned to the city lord's room, the city lord had already sat up and leaned against the bow: "My dear nephew, how is it?"
"I've already done it!" Shen Lang nodded and said, "Just leave it like this for now, there should be a result by tomorrow!"
After saying that, he looked at Qingsi and said, "You continue to take care of the city lord, don't let anything slip!"
"I'll go back first!" After saying that, Shen Lang said goodbye to the City Lord and Qingsi, left the City Lord's Mansion, and returned to his home.
He entered his room and closed the door. Then he snapped his fingers and took out the receivers of the bugs. There were three in total. He first picked up receiver number one, which was Miao Yunfei's.
"Hmm?" Shen Lang listened for a long time, but there was no other sound except the sound of wheels rolling and horses' hooves.
He put down receiver number one and picked up receiver number two, which was from Sun Ke.
"Oh?" After listening for a long time, Shen Lang realized the same thing as Miao Yunfei: besides the sound of the wheels rolling , the only sound was the sound of horse hooves.
He put down receiver number two and picked up receiver number three, which was from Xiao Daoyun.
This time there was a sound, and Xiao Daoyun had already arrived at the mansion.
"Prepare a banquet and bring out the daughter's red wine !" Xiao Daoyun gave an order and then entered the room.
When Shen Lang heard this, he wondered if this was a celebration?
Not long after, the number three receiver rang again.
"Sir, Master Miao Yunfei and Master Sun Ke are here!"
"please come in!"
"yes!"
Shen Lang was stunned. This was something he had not expected. He quickly put receiver number one and receiver number two to his ears.
"Sir!" This was Miao Yunfei's voice.
"Sir!" This was Sun Ke's voice.
"Hmm!" This was Xiao Daoyun's voice.
"What do you two think about what happened today?" Xiao Daoyun asked.
"It's a bit strange!" Miao Yunfei said.
"Yes!" Sun Ke said, "But, his aura is indeed very weak. It's a question whether he can hold on for two days!"
"Could it be that we are really instructed today?" Xiao Daoyun pondered for a moment and spoke.
"What else?" Miao Yunfei smiled and said, "He is now poisoned. It's impossible to find the murderer even if we want to!"
"Haha!" Xiao Daoyun laughed and said, "Brother Sun Ke, what you just said scared me!"
"It's just a show, sir. Besides, it was his steward who poisoned him, not you!" Sun Ke said, "In the future, when you become the city lord, won't you have to give an explanation to the people of Baiyun City?"
"Haha!" Xiao Daoyun laughed: "That makes sense!"
"Don't stand, sit down, sit down!" Xiao Daoyun said, "Today I specially asked the chef to prepare a table of delicious dishes, and a pot of daughter's red wine that I have treasured for many years. Let's celebrate!"
"Then I would like to congratulate you in advance on becoming the city lord!" Miao Yunfei smiled and spoke first.
"Your Excellency is wise and brave. Under your management, Baiyun City will surely reach new heights!" Sun Ke also congratulated us.
"You two are both great contributors to the revival of the empire!" Xiao Daoyun poured two glasses of wine and said, "The day the empire is revived will be the day for you two to rise to prominence!"
"Long live the Empire!"
The sound of three people clinking glasses came from the receiver, and Shen Lang grinned.
I thought one of these three people would be the one who poisoned, but it turned out to be the city lord's housekeeper who poisoned. I thought one of these three people would be from the Sakura Empire, but it turned out to be two lackeys and one from the Sakura Empire!
The three of them are in cahoots with each other and are the masterminds behind all this!
Wow , it turns out that there are four people voting and three of them are acting with one person!
"Sir, will the city lord's niece become a variable in the election?" Miao Yunfei said after drinking a few glasses of wine.
Xiao Daoyun pondered for a moment and then said, "Now he is already terminally ill. As a woman, he can no longer make any waves. The end is already determined!"
"Her luck is really good. She managed to escape three times!" Sun Ke drank a glass of daughter's red wine and spoke.
"It's not luck!" Xiao Daoyun said, "She escaped again and again. She must have been protected by a master. Otherwise, the Red Leaf of the Empire would never leave her alive!"
"What your Excellency meant..." Miao Yunfei pondered for a moment.
"That's right!" Xiao Daoyun drank a cup by himself: "Today, the one who sent us away, Shen Lang who was crying fakely, is a big suspect!"
"But, I have tried it and found that he is not an expert in martial arts!" Sun Ke said.
"Then he must have some outstanding qualities!" Xiao Daoyun sighed.
"The Lin family compound was razed to the ground, and more than a dozen important figures in the stronghold were killed!"
"Seven Green Leaf masters were attacked by surprise and all were killed. Six were attacked by special hidden weapons and one of them couldn't even be found!"
"One Red Leaf assassin, nineteen Green Leaves, no one was left alive!"
"If this isn't his extraordinary ability, then what is?" Xiao Daoyun's voice was a little heavy. He sighed and said, "It's a pity that we only know that he is an expert in using hidden weapons, but we don't know anything else!"
"Now that he suddenly appears in the City Lord's Mansion, there must be something fishy going on!"
"You mean, that kid suspects us?" Sun Ke was a little surprised.
"This is most likely the case!" Miao Yunfei asked, "What should we do now?"
Xiao Daoyun said, "There are only two days left, so we shouldn't alert the enemy!"
"Besides, he is just suspicious now, with no evidence. He is just afraid that he will become a variable in the election!"
Miao Yunfei and Sun Ke were silent for a moment. Finally, Sun Ke spoke up: "In order for you to be elected as the city lord, why not...kill him in advance to prevent future troubles!"
Xiao Daoyun smiled and said, "Red Leaf and Green Leaf can't do anything to him, do you have any good ideas?"
“Don’t we still have his parents?” Sun Ke smiled.
After hearing these words, Shen Lang's brows twisted into a knot.
You old bastard, you old bastard, I really didn’t expect this!
I comforted myself with a smile on my face, but I didn't expect that he was so cruel behind my back!
Fuck you!
"No!" Xiao Daoyun tried to stop them: "If you do that, it will prove that there is something fishy going on with the three of us!"
"The three of us are at the center of the storm right now, and we can't afford to have any more problems!"
"If we leave it alone, there will be more trouble than ever!" Sun Ke said.
"When I become the Lord of Baiyun City, even if he discovers something, will anyone still believe him?" Xiao Daoyun smiled and said.
"Your Excellency is indeed far-sighted!" Miao Yunfei praised with a smile, and the three of them raised their glasses again.
"Although we can't get rid of him, we can keep him company!" Xiao Daoyun said, "As long as we can keep him from showing up during the election, that'll be all!"
"What does your Excellency mean?" Miao Yunfei asked.
"Isn't your son very interested in Mingyue?" Xiao Daoyun asked.
"My lord, you want my son to..." Miao Yunfei hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Well, that little girl is Shen Lang's weak spot. As long as Mingyue is held back, Shen Lang will naturally be involved. Just delay it for a few days!" Xiao Daoyun said, "Of course, it would be even better if Miao Yi could take down Mingyue. With Tonghe Bank, it will be of great help to the revival of the empire!"
"I will ask my son to go to Tonghe Bank to propose marriage tomorrow!" Miao Yunfei said with a smile: "My son and I will go together!"
"That's great!"
