At night, two strange and powerful auras appeared in the city lord's mansion.
With this change, Mu Qing could clearly feel that there were far fewer eyes that had been focusing on the door of their room.
Mu Qing knew very well that after they took the initiative to reveal their identities, Zhu Li just didn't regard them as enemies, and they were still far from trusting.
But now that the people from the Zhu family came to investigate Zhu Tianhu's death, Zhu Li felt a little relieved.
"Hongyan should start now." Murong Jing whispered.
They were put under house arrest by Zhu Li in disguise, and only Zhu Hongyan went to Huang Xing alone.
Tantai Xuan had been meditating and adjusting her breath. Chao Muqing looked at her and said, "You should know that in Zhu Li's eyes, we are naturally on Zhu Yushan's side, so it is difficult for you to gain her support."
Mu Qing smiled helplessly. He really wanted to gain Zhu Li's trust and support. Especially when Zhou Qian and his group are still in Nangui City, and Zhu Yushan has not responded yet.
"I have been thinking about one thing. If people like Huang Ding are really plotting something to endanger Nangui City, can Zhu Xiao be able to cover it up for them?" Mu Qing said.
There has been no news since Zhu Xiao was taken away by Shen Ze. Murong Jing frowned: "If there is someone else besides Zhu Xiao, then this person's status should be higher than lower. Why didn't he contact us proactively? Don't you know? Our identity?"
Mu Qing frowned. He just didn't figure this out. Based on Zhu Hongyan's close attitude towards them, Zhu Yushan's people should also find ways to contact them. As a result, they all became outsiders and have been left alone here.
You must know that the current situation has become vaguely unfavorable to Zhu Yushan.
Shen Ze's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Brother Zheqing and Master Xuan, the city lord has invited us."
Mu Qing was startled, and he and Tantai Xuan followed Shen Ze all the way to the palace they had visited last night.
In the palace, Zhu Li was still sitting at the top, and on the right hand side were no longer the commanders from last night, but a man and a woman.
The woman has white hair and a frown between her eyebrows. She looks quite old. She is sitting there in plain clothes and has a calm temperament. The man is much younger than the woman. When he sees Mu Qing and the others come in, his angry expression softens a lot.
Zhu Li took the initiative to stand up and introduce the identities of both parties. Mu Qing was surprised and couldn't help but glance at the two of them.
The woman, Zhu Bailu, turned out to be the witch leader under Zhu Zong, that is, the first among the witches, while the man was Zhu Tianlong, Zhu Tianhu's elder brother.
Zhu Hongyan mentioned Zhu Tianlong not long ago. This person had a high status among the elders of the Zhu family and had competed with Zhu Yushan for the position of head of the family.
"City Lord, this is our Zhu family's private matter, why do we invite guests from the Dao Sect Tianzong over?" Zhu Tianlong said with a frown.
Zhu Li leaned on his seat and replied: "Because they have fought the most with those villains. If I had not had the foresight to invite Master Xuan to help in advance, I would be a dead person now."
"I remember I sent four messages to the mountains, asking for help, but you guys had to wait until the person was dead to come."
Zhu Tianlong looked ugly and said: "Tianhu was killed, and I came here to avenge him and find out the real culprit behind the scenes."
Zhu Tianlong's last few words were spoken very hard. If Zhu Hongyan hadn't expressed his worries earlier, Mu Qing might not have been able to understand.
Mu Qing raised his head and looked at Zhu Li, who happened to glance at him as well. The two looked at each other, and Mu Qing instantly understood that this woman wanted to let them know Zhu Tianhu's purpose and force them to fight.
Sure enough, the next moment I heard Zhu Li say in a cold voice: "The City Lord's Mansion has been unable to arrest anyone. I have always suspected that some senior officials of the City Lord's Mansion are covering up the whereabouts of those murderers."
Zhu Tianlong's voice became colder and colder: "The city lord suspects that my brother Tianhu is colluding with the person who killed him?"
"Why can't you doubt it?" Zhu Li didn't give in at all. "Zhu Tianhu was possessed of strange fire and was already at the peak of mortal transformation, but he was killed quietly. What do you think happened at that time?"
I wish Tianlong was even more angry.
Zhu Li looked at Zhu Bailu and asked, "Sister Bailu, if you were the murderer, could you do it?"
Zhu Bailu glanced at Zhu Li, shook his head and said, "It's easy to kill Zhu Tianhu, but it's difficult to keep quiet."
Zhu Tianlong laughed angrily: "Ha, why bother borrowing other people's words? Don't you want to say that my brother was killed without any defense?"
Zhu Li nodded and asked, "Isn't it?"
"Can you prove that Tianhu colluded with his killer without any defense?"
Zhu Tianlong looked confident and sneered, "There is also a reaction between strange fires. Tianhu was killed, but you didn't notice any movement. How can a crime of negligence be offset?"
"From my perspective, there was probably someone else from the Zhu family present at the time. This person first gained Tianhu's trust and then teamed up with the murderer to attack him secretly." .z.
"The Lihuo formation behind the murderer just proves this point."
Zhu Li looked at Zhu Tianlong, and after a while he clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful! I asked you why you came so slowly. It turns out you were looking for excuses."
"Tianhu is dead!" Zhu Tianlong raised his voice several times, "The murderer is hateful, and the traitor is even more so."
"We came to Nangui City not only to kill the murderer, but also to uncover the traitors who harmed our own people."
Zhu Tianlong looked at Zhu Li coldly, "I heard that you found some clues in Tianhu's home, why do you keep avoiding talking about it?"
Zhu Li looked at Shen Ze, and Shen Ze said, "There are indeed some clues. We found the secret messages between Commander Tianhu and Huang Ding and others, and Huang Ding had died at the hands of the same group of murderers long ago."
At this time, Zhu Li finally revealed his true intention of inviting Mu Qing and the two over, "Master Xuan had fought against them before coming to Nangui City. I plan to continue to invite Master Xuan to help and suppress the murderer as soon as possible."
Zhu Tianlong's eyes flashed and he said: "If a real person helps, the Zhu family will naturally show sincerity, but avenging Tianhu is what I, the elder brother, should do, so I won't bother..."
Zhu Li interrupted impatiently: "The news I sent back is very clear. The person leading the other party is in the middle stage of the Holy King Realm. Do you really want to take revenge? Since you represent the great elder's attitude, you should come up with it. Sincerity."
The corners of Zhu Tianlong's eyes twitched, he took out a Nai Ring, and said in a low voice: "I wonder if Master Xuan is willing to help. I sincerely invite you."
Mu Qing saw Zhu Tianlong's rejection in his eyes, and suddenly realized that the other party might already know their true identity.
But Zhu Li did not take the initiative to reveal their identities when introducing them. How did Zhu Tianlong know about them?
Zhu Tianlong had no way of revealing their identities.
But Zhuli is different.
This made Mu Qing's impression of Zhu Li change again. He was clearly in the position where he should be the most troublesome, but she was instigated into a situation where he was sitting on the sidelines. If they didn't agree to help now, would this woman put their Identify yourself?
You must know that the taciturn Zhu Bailu is also a genuine middle-level Saint King Realm, and represents Zhu Zong's position.
Tantai Xuan obviously saw the undercurrent of the situation and nodded: "The city lord has already paid a sincere reward. Since the murderer has not been caught yet, I will naturally help."
Zhu Li stood up with raised eyebrows, raised his glass to everyone, and solemnly said: "I hope that everyone can work together to suppress this group of thugs as soon as possible."
Everyone dispersed.
Because they agreed to continue helping, Mu Qing and the others suddenly had the right to enter and exit the city lord's mansion freely, and Shen Ze even released Zhu Xiao.
In the room of Wushuang Inn, as soon as Zhu Xiao saw Mu Qing and the others, he asked, "When Zhu Tianhu dies, someone must be coming from the mountain. Who is coming?"
Mu Qing replied: "Zhu Bailu and Zhu Tianlong."
"What?!" Zhu Xiao looked at him in horror.
Seeing his appearance, Mu Qing couldn't help but asked, "Who else can we look for besides you?"
Zhu Xiao understood the meaning of Mu Qing's words, coughed dryly, and said, "If she doesn't come to you, it proves that the second brother still doesn't intend to involve you and Hongyan."
Mu Qing said: "You should know better than me what these two people here mean. If the great elder of the Zhu family and Zhu Zongda
Cheng Yiyi, can he keep his position as the head of the family? "
"...It will probably be lost." Zhu Xiao expressed the same worry as Zhu Hongyan, "Zhu Tianlong has always been dissatisfied with his second brother becoming the head of the family."
"It could be worse than we know."
Zhu Hongyan followed Murong Jing into the illusion and said, "Zhu Tianlong moved very quickly. Not only did he take over Zhu Tianhu's men, he also asked Shen Ze for a group of guards, and he had already begun to review the people Shen Ze arrested during the day. "
Zhu Xiao's expression changed, "Some of the people Shen Ze arrested did do things for the second brother."
Mu Qing did not expect that Zhu Hongyan's worries would come true so quickly. Even a discerning person could see that Zhu Yushan had no reason to collude with Zhou Qian to kill Huang Ding's people. These were two different things. However, Zhu Tianlong still insisted on going his own way and wanted to kill the two people. One thing becomes one thing.
If it continues to develop, and they only need to collude with Zhou Qian to provide good evidence, how can Zhu Yushan get rid of it?
Mu Qing asked: "Do these people know much?"
Zhu Xiao said: "They are the same as Huang Ding, only Huang Xing may know better."
Mu Qing immediately looked at Zhu Hongyan, his eyes darkening.
Zhu Hongyan said: "There is indeed a guard captain named Tian Qi in the City Lord's Mansion, but when I looked for him, he had disappeared. Shen Ze got angry and looked for him again."
After Zhu Hongyan finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Xiao and said with a cold face: "Huang Xingneng has been hiding in the city lord's mansion, does the third uncle really not know?"
Zhu Xiao was also a little shocked, but then he realized what he was doing and said with a wry smile: "I really didn't know this guy was hiding in the City Lord's Mansion... But it's very normal for him to be hiding in the City Lord's Mansion."
"Who is it?" A face suddenly flashed in Mu Qing's mind and asked.
Zhu Xiao spoke vaguely and said: "Since Zhu Tianlong is still interrogating other people, Huang Xing should not have fallen into their hands, and the situation is not too bad."
Zhu Xiao knew he couldn't stay any longer and left immediately.
But after he took a few steps, he found that he couldn't move. He was shocked and angry, and looked at Zhu Hongyan: "I am your third uncle after all, and you treat me like this?"
After Zhu Xiao finished speaking, she glanced at Murong Jing.
Mu Qing's fingers hanging by his side glowed with purple light, and he said, "Third uncle, I can only offend you."
Zhu Xiao was in the late stage of mortal transformation, so it was much more difficult for Mu Qing to use the Dream Technique. Fortunately, Tantai Xuan suppressed his soul, and Mu Qing successfully asked for a name.
"I didn't expect it was her."
The person who really cooperated with Zhu Yushan was Zhu Guyu. This result shocked even Zhu Hongyan.
Mu Qing thought of the extremely restrained deputy city lord standing next to Zhu Li, and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the two city lords of Nangui City are women..."
