What the aunt said was reasonable and she quickly won the trust of many people.
The villagers gathered together in twos and threes, and soon the topic became more and more distant.
But in just half a day, the neighboring village not far from here also heard the news.
The villagers kept talking to each other, and until the end, some people even wanted to escape from here in fear...
As for Du Tingyun, he received the news quickly.
I saw him finding Liu Shengsheng in a hurry.
At that time, Liu Shengsheng unknowingly stuffed a large bag of money into the lady.
Seeing the aunt retreating with a smile on her face, she turned around and saw Du Tingyun with a serious face.
"Brother, do you want to see me if you have something to do?"
Du Tingyun glanced at the aunt who was retreating with a smile, and her heart became clearer, "Shengsheng, are you the one who spread the rumors among the villagers?"
Liu Shengsheng raised her eyebrows, "What are you talking about?"
"I said, all the villagers affected by this disaster are now saying that it was the city lord who returned to the city who brought the disaster to everyone, but this flood is just an ordinary flood and was not caused by anyone at all. How can you borrow it? Just because the villagers call you a god, are you spreading rumors like this?"
Du Tingyun said helplessly as he walked up to Liu Shengsheng.
"You should explain to me now and tell them that these are all lies and rumors."
Liu Shengsheng shook her head, "I don't even know what brother is talking about."
"Then what were you doing just now?"
"Be compassionate to the poor and give them some money to support them."
"You're trying to bribe me..."
Liu Shengsheng raised her eyebrows, "So that's bribery? But your city lord back in the city bribed assassins to assassinate my people, and no one went to investigate."
Du Tingyun's expression changed slightly, "What are you talking about?"
"I said, the four killers I caught were actually sent by the city lord back to the city. They dared to assassinate my people blatantly. If we hadn't brought thousands of troops here, maybe their next step would be to assassinate them. It’s the common people who are affected by the disaster this time.”
Speaking of this, Liu Shengsheng shook her head again, "Tsk tsk, the people's worries are not unreasonable. After all, I heard from my Yichen that the city lord secretly arrested many men and locked them up in the backyard, beating and scolding them. , beat many people to death..."
"Brother, how can you be so sure that there is no retribution from heaven in this world? Maybe the flood this time was brought about by that city lord."
Du Tingyun took a deep breath and replied: "Shengsheng, there must be a misunderstanding about this matter. The city lord of the returning city has no grudges against you, and there is no way he could harm you. Moreover, the nearby villages are all Under his jurisdiction, how could he harm the people of the village? This..."
"Brother, do you dare to come with me to see the truth?"
Liu Shengsheng interrupted him directly and said calmly:
"I'm going to put those three people back and let them tell the people returning to the city that they have killed my Yichen and Ayong, and let them go back to get the rest of the reward. Then we will see, who will Who is the person they rewarded with money? If so, wouldn’t it be possible to know who hurt Yichen?”
"Anyway, the assassins who are chasing Yichen are dead and they can be caught. And I have already sent people to block that section of the road. Therefore, the city lord should not have received the news until now. In this way, as long as he gives it a try, he can Do you know if it is him..."
Du Tingyun said helplessly: "Isn't Mr. Yichen awake already? He should have told you who hurt him."
"He said he was the city lord."
Liu Shengsheng blinked.
Du Tingyun immediately denied, "It's impossible."
Liu Shengsheng smiled and said, "Look, you don't believe what I said, and you don't believe what my Yichen said. In this case, I can only take you to see the truth. Brother, do you want to see it or not?"
"Shengsheng, it's time for us to hurry up."
Du Tingyun felt that she really had a good temper, so she could let him
They dragged on day after day.
Liu Shengsheng also felt that her temper was so good that she didn't drag the person over on the spot.
She smiled and said, "It's not far from here to go back to the city. It won't take long to come back. Or is it that in the eyes of the eldest brother, my safety is not as important as the journey?"
"Brother, that's not what you meant, but aren't you in danger now?"
"My Yichen said that those killers were coming for me. If my Yichen hadn't blocked it for me, they would have come to kill me mysteriously. Alas, as expected, I am not from your country. Man, if your people want to kill me, in your opinion, it is just a trivial matter."
The corners of Du Tingyun's lips twitched.
Why are those people trying to kill her now?
Everyone knows that those people came after Yichen. Perhaps it was because Yichen went to rescue Ayong somewhere that he angered those people...
Du Tingyun looked at Liu Shengsheng intently, "Shengsheng, I don't understand you."
So now, is she going to take action against the city master who has returned to the city?
But there was no interaction between them at all, so how did the city lord offend her?
Du Tingyun took a deep breath, "Shengsheng, it's important to be on your way."
"I just want to know if the people behind those killers are just the city lord. If not, I will naturally go on the road with my eldest brother. If so, my eldest brother will give me justice and I will continue on my way. This is not a simple matter. Really? Why can't big brother satisfy me?"
After saying these words, Liu Shengsheng leaned into Nan Muze's arms feeling aggrieved.
"Husband, am I too willful?"
Nan Muze frowned, "No, my husband will take you home."
Liu Shengsheng nodded, "Well, no one here cares about me anyway. They all want to kill me anyway, and my eldest brother doesn't care about me. I might as well return to Fengqing. At least this way I can ensure my own safety, and I can always be with you." Around the children."
"Well, I miss the kids too."
The couple exchanged words with each other, and finally turned around and walked back.
Du Tingyun felt helpless and said, "Okay, I'll go back to the city with you to see the truth."
Liu Shengsheng sighed, "Brother, don't be so embarrassed. I don't want him to be upset because of my affairs. It's just that my people have been so seriously injured. I really can't sit back and do nothing. If brother wants to go back, he can go back by himself first." Yes, after I have dealt with my enemy, I will consider whether to go back."
"Oh, my eldest brother said that my mother misses me so much. If my mother knows that I have been hurt and plotted by so many people along the way, I don't know if my mother will be sad about it..."
"What are Shengsheng going to do?" Du Tingyun gave a stiff smile. The longer they got along, the more he understood the virtues of his sister.
As long as she wants to do something, no one can stop her...
Thinking like this, Du Tingyun added: "Brother, let's fish those three people out first. Now everyone is saying that the city lord has done all the bad things and will be punished by God, and they are all clamoring to go back to the city to parade in the streets to fight against the uprising. What's more? A few people begged my elder brother to depose the city lord. This situation is really confusing. Maybe you are right, we really need to know whether the city lord is a villain."
Liu Shengsheng inadvertently raised the corners of her lips and said in a calm tone: "Brother is wise and powerful, so I will thank you for your insight on behalf of the villagers nearby."
