The atmosphere in the main hall was somewhat condensed.
Chu He raised his head and glanced at the lord of Peony City, and found that the lord's face was still cold, but his eyes were somewhat complicated.
Thinking of Song Yizhi who acted unconventionally, Chu He seemed to be able to understand the complicated mood of the city lord at this moment.
Song Yizhi looked up at the City Lord of Peony City, letting him relax for a moment and then said, "Before coming to the City Lord's Mansion, I walked around the city and heard some news."
The Lord of Peony City looked at the gentle and polite Song Yizhi, and was prepared to remain unchanged in response to all changes.
"Many people say that the city lord loves the people like his son and is fair and honest." After Song Yizhi finished speaking, she lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly like butterfly wings. Her voice was slow, "At the same time, I also listened to some stories about Zhao Zhao. Rumors from home.”
The mayor of Peony City said quite objectively, "I can't say that I love the people like my son. I only want to have a clear conscience when I am in charge of my political affairs."
He kept silent about the Zhao family's affairs.
Song Yizhi saw that the mayor of Peony City did not intend to mention the Zhao family, and she became more and more curious about the Zhao family.
What is so unusual about the Zhao family that even the lords of Peony City avoid it.
However, since the city lord doesn't mention the Zhao family, let her do it.
Song Yizhi raised his eyes, looked at the cold and majestic city lord, and said in confusion, "Why would the city lord allow the filthy Zhao family to dominate the Peony City?"
"..." The eyes of the mayor of Peony City were a little confused. He looked at Song Yizhi and said, "Miss Song is so smart. She should know that when the water is clear, there will be no fish."
Until now, he was still reluctant to let Song Yizhi get involved.
The power behind Song Yizhi was something that neither he nor even the entire Peony City could afford to offend.
"But it's not a good thing if the water is too muddy, isn't it?" Song Yizhi asked without answering.
The lord of Peony City was silent and avoided answering.
Song Yizhi's patience ran out. She put down her tea cup and said bluntly, "City Lord, who is supporting the Zhao family?"
Looking at the mayor of Peony City who looked a little hesitant, Song Yizhi asked, "Can't we say this?"
"Miss Song, this matter is far darker than you imagine." The mayor of Peony City advised earnestly.
Song Yizhi is just a young lady who doesn't understand the sufferings of the world. It's best if she doesn't get involved in those things.
"If the city lord doesn't want to talk to me, then I'll ask Beixianyue from the Hehuan Sect to talk to the city lord?" Song Yizhi leaned back in his chair, his unruly sitting posture revealing his free and easy attitude.
Beixianyue?
The genius chief disciple of the Hehuan Sect? !
The Lord of Peony City looked at Song Yizhi in front of him, and then thought about the chief disciple who did not eat the fireworks of the world, and suddenly felt that Song Yizhi was easier to talk to.
After all, such a chief disciple is too arrogant.
Seeing the Lord of Peony City's expression slightly relaxed, Song Yizhi felt that this Lord was quite easy to talk to.
Now that the lord of Peony City has shown signs of relenting, Song Yizhi continued to ask, "Is there support from the Rong family behind the Zhao family?"
The mayor of Peony City couldn't help but sneered, "What kind of existence is the Rong family? How can the Zhao family be able to compete with the Rong family?"
It's not the Rong family, but it's probably the sect that makes the lord of Peony City so fearful.
Song Yizhi secretly sighed, no wonder.
"The Zhao family dares to monopolize Peony Fabrics in Peony City. Is there support from a certain sect behind it?" Song Yizhi asked his speculation.
The lord of Peony City was startled.
He didn't speak, but the look in his eyes already told Song Yizhi what the answer was.
Song Yizhi had a feeling in his heart that this was indeed the case.
Afterwards, she smiled gently to show her friendly attitude, but her words were still frighteningly sharp, "The Zhao family can't reach the level of the Rong family, but it can make the city lord so afraid. I guess the Zhao family has the support of the sect behind it, I don't know. Is my guess right?"
The reason why aristocratic families and sects are at odds is because all the aristocratic families are suppressed by the three sects.
The aristocratic family didn't like how powerful the sect was, but they had to send their children into the sect in order to use the sect's power to develop their own family.
Just like the Zhao family now.
If the Zhao family did not have the support of the sect behind them, the city lord would have taken action long ago.
"Yes." After the words fell, the Lord of Peony City let out a long sigh.
You can't escape what is coming. Maybe this is also an opportunity for Peony City?
Facing the outspoken Song Yizhi, the mayor of Peony City did not intend to go around and around, otherwise it would appear that he was not sincere.
"The Zhao family's legitimate second son is an inner disciple of the Changqiu Sect. In recent years, the Zhao family has relied on that legitimate second son's influence to become the dominant family in Mudan City." The mayor of Mudan City said.
Song Yizhi understood clearly.
Chu He couldn't help but glance at Song Yizhi.
Why could Miss Song guess that there was support behind the Zhao family?
He doesn't seem to have missed any news. Why does he always feel that he has left out a lot?
Is this the difference between people?
The mayor of Peony City said, "Nearly a hundred people in Pingyang Village died at the hands of the Zhao family. I can no longer sit idly by and watch."
"Is that just that?" Song Yizhi smiled and rolled his eyes, looking harmless.
In the world of immortality, mortal lives are worthless. If it were just those more than a hundred human lives, there would be no need for the mayor of Peony City to go directly to the Changqiu Sect beyond the Rong family.
Moreover, the task given by Pepsi Hall is to eliminate demons!
As of now, she has not seen any sign of half a demon.
"..." The Lord of Peony City was silent again.
Chu He glanced at Song Yizhi in surprise.
Did Miss Song make other discoveries?
Song Yizhi knew what was right. For now, she didn't want to delve deeper. She just said, "City Lord, do you think I should go to Zhao's house for a visit?"
"It shouldn't be." The mayor of Peony City said without hesitation.
Song Yizhi was not surprised. She smiled and said, "I still have a few questions."
"Ask." The Lord of Peony City said helplessly.
"Is the city lord responsible for the disappearance of the girl from Pingyang Village?"
Song Yizhi's voice sounded, and Chu He was frightened. He looked at Song Yizhi's face and looked at him as if he was hurrying to the Peony City Lord.
The city lord of Peony City was not annoyed by Song Yizhi's suspicion. He said, "Miss Song, do you think I kidnapped those girls to cause trouble on purpose, so that I could go to the Changqiu Sect?"
Song Yizhi nodded honestly.
Before that, she had speculated that the missing girls were abducted by the lord of Peony City, so that such a big incident would allow the disciples of the Changqiu Sect to come and find out the Zhao family.
Now it seems that the disappearance of those girls has nothing to do with the Lord of Peony City.
The Lord of Peony City couldn't help but sigh, "I hope so."
If that were the case, those girls might still be alive and well, instead of being in the unknown state of life and death now.
"Last question." Song Yizhi smiled, "Who provided the seventh-grade magic weapon at the auction?"
"Zhao family." The mayor of Peony City looked deeply at Song Yizhi.
Song Yizhi understood. She stood up and bowed slightly to the Lord of Peony City, "Thank you Lord for answering our questions. We will leave first."
The Lord of Peony City nodded, then stood up and raised his hand, "I won't give it away, you should be careful."
Song Yizhi nodded and returned with Chu He the same way.
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Song Yizhi walked straight to the south gate.
After leaving the city, Song Yizhi ran towards Pingyang Village without saying a word.
Chu He tried his best to catch up with Song Yizhi.
Why is Miss Song so fast?
Chu He thought for the umpteenth time.
