Chapter 474
The squadron leader turned pale and subconsciously looked at his captain.
But his captain just looked at him angrily without any instructions.
"Lord City Lord, I...I was wrong," the squadron leader trembled all over. He crawled in front of Hong Biao and knocked his head heavily on the ground. Blood spurted out in just one move.
Hong Biao snorted coldly: "You can't produce any evidence, right?"
"Framing for no reason, this is your first crime."
"Knowing the law and breaking the law, this is your second crime."
"Perverting official duties and lying to superiors and subordinates. This is your third crime. No matter which one you commit, you deserve to die!"
The crowd burst into fierce applause.
A considerable part of these people are people who have lived in Liangcheng for many years.
Ever since the previous city lord was still there, they had been bullied by people like the city lord's mansion.
Now, the new city lord, with just a few words, made them feel justice, and the depression in their chests began to dissipate, and they felt extremely relaxed.
The group of captains all looked ugly, but no one spoke.
Everyone, including Zenda, remained silent.
Hong Biao looked at Xiao Zhan at this time and said slowly:
"Little brother, he slandered you, I now give you the right to get justice for yourself."
This is a wonderful thing to say.
What Hong Biao said was to let Xiao Zhan get justice on his own.
But he didn't tell Xiao Zhan to kill the squadron leader.
Xiao Zhan chuckled and pointed at the city gate:
"Open the city gate, City Lord, let's leave."
Hong Biao slowly shook his head:
"The gangsters haven't been fully investigated yet. You can't leave for the time being. Please understand."
Xiao Zhan was about to speak, but his expression changed the next moment, and he pulled Deng Xiaozhuang and jumped away.
The next moment, the city gate behind him suddenly exploded.
A burly figure covered in blood rushed in with a murderous intent, leading a dozen of his men who were also covered in blood.
His eyes widened with anger, the blood-stained spear in his hand was pointed at Zenda and others, and he roared:
"I just took people out of the city, and we were attacked. I asked people to come back to you for help. Why didn't you send people to support?!"
"Do you know that more than a thousand of my men died?!"
This person is none other than Liangcheng's other captain at the eighth level of the Starlight Realm, Wei Rui.
Wei Rui's voice was full of murderous intent.
His eyes were blood red, and the spear in his hand was thrown directly at Zenda.
Zenda quickly turned his head to avoid it, and at the same time reached out and grabbed the spear that was still dripping with blood. The gun body passed through his palm, and the gun head pierced the ground hard.
"Wei Rui, the Lord of the City is here, please don't spit on me!"
A cold look also appeared on Zenda's face:
"We have been busy searching for gangsters in the city, and we have not received any news that you were attacked outside the city."
What Zenda said is indeed true.
The men Wei Rui sent back to Liangcheng to summon the message were indeed intercepted and killed before they reached Liangcheng.
Upon hearing the word "city lord", Wei Rui looked at Hong Biao with his blood-red eyes and snorted coldly:
"Is this the City Lord?"
"More than a thousand of my men have died. Tell me how to avenge this!"
There was no anger in Hong Biao's eyes, but a flash of appreciation in his eyes.
He said in a deep voice:
"I will use all the power of the city lord's palace to investigate together with the previous city lord who was attacked and killed and the two groups of gangsters who appeared today."
"Within three months, I will let Liang Cheng end all chaos."
Wei Rui's eyes flashed with murderous intent:
"Lord City Lord, within three months, identify the culprits and avenge my brothers. From now on, I, Wei Rui, will be at your disposal."
"If not, this captain
, it doesn’t matter if I don’t do it right, at worst I will take the remaining brothers and leave Liangcheng! "
Hong Biao nodded, "Okay."
After speaking, Hong Biao looked at Xiao Zhan again:
"You are at the seventh level of the Starlight Realm. You are being slandered today because the City Lord's Mansion has mistreated you."
"If you are willing, you can join the City Lord's Mansion and serve as a squadron leader."
As he said that, Hong Biao looked at the crowd and said, "From now on, the City Lord's Mansion will recruit a large number of people."
"Those who are interested in joining the City Lord's Mansion can go to the City Lord's Mansion to take the assessment."
Hearing this sentence, everyone was excited.
Joining the City Lord's Mansion, who dares to say that he has not had such a dream?
After all, there are only two types of people in the entire Tianlan world.
One category is the people from the city lord's mansion in each city.
The other type is people who are not from the city lord's mansion.
The former can receive the star sand on time and get the protection of the city lord's mansion.
The latter has no rights.
Xiao Zhan saw it clearly.
Everything this Hong Biao did today was not only to establish his prestige, but also to win over people's hearts. He also spread the news that he wanted to thoroughly investigate the murder of the previous city lord.
Overall, the performance was very qualified.
Xiao Zhan clasped his fists at Hong Biao, "Thank you, senior, for upholding justice. However, I am too busy with worldly affairs to join the City Lord's Mansion. Thank you, senior, for your kindness."
Hong Biao nodded, "I just walked around the city. Liangcheng is still very prosperous. You can stay and play for two more days."
After speaking, Hong Biao turned around and left with a group of captains.
Xiao Zhan led Deng Xiaozhuang through the crowd and came to a relatively quiet alley.
Deng Xiaozhuang frowned:
"Isn't Hong Biao a captain in Songcheng? I heard he is a master at the ninth level of the Starlight Realm. Why did he come to Liangcheng to become the city lord?"
"Furthermore, I heard that Hong Biao is a very dull person, but the way he acted just now was as if he was a completely different person."
Xiao Zhan shook his head, thinking, and said:
"Hong Biao is not a simple person."
"Your former boss, Bai Baolin, is his nephew."
Deng Xiaozhuang looked stunned and was speechless.
Xiao Zhan continued:
"Also, Bai Baolin died at the hands of Hong Biao."
Deng Xiaozhuang opened his mouth and seemed to be shocked again.
"Also," Xiao Zhan frowned, "This Hong Biao's identity shouldn't be that simple. In addition to being the former captain of Songcheng and now the city lord of Liangcheng, he is also very likely to be from the Moyun world."
Deng Xiaozhuang no longer dared to speak.
He didn't expect that one person could have so many secrets.
Xiao Zhan turned his head, his eyes passed through the alley and fell on the people walking on the street outside, "Liangzhou is much more chaotic than Songcheng."
"You didn't pay attention just now. There were many people in the crowd who behaved strangely."
"This Liangcheng is full of cows, horses and snake gods."
"However, only a place like this is suitable for me."
"If it were any other place, there would be no chance of getting the Star Stone."...
Deng Xiaozhuang nodded solemnly.
"Then big brother, what should we do next?"
Xiao Zhan already had a plan in his mind and said without thinking:
"No matter how many ghosts and monsters there are in Liang City, the ones who can stay here in the end are either the people from the City Lord's Mansion or the people from the Moyun World."
"With my current strength, even if I join the City Lord's Mansion, I will only be a squad leader at most. I will only be able to receive a little star sand every month. It also depends on people's faces, which is inconvenient for me."
"The most suitable way is to cooperate with people from Moyun World."
Deng Xiaozhuang frowned and nodded, "The premise is that we are of value to the people in Moyun World."
Xiao Zhan also nodded, "That's the truth."
"But before that, we have to figure out what the people in Moyun World want to do in Liangcheng."
"To figure this out, we must first find the people in Moyun World."
After saying that, Xiao Zhan gave another twenty grains of star sand to Deng Xiaozhuang and said in a deep voice:
"You go rent a secluded place first, and then we split up and you keep an eye on what's going on at the City Lord's Mansion."
Deng Xiaozhuang nodded in agreement, "What about you, brother?"
Xiao Zhan's eyes narrowed, "If my guess is correct and Hong Biao is really from the Moyun world, then he will definitely find a way to secure his position as the lord of Liangcheng."
"He will also make Liangcheng a stronghold for those in Moyun World."
"What I want to do is pretend to be someone from Moyun World."
Deng Xiaozhuang was stunned, "Brother, this is too dangerous."
A smile appeared on Xiao Zhan's face:
"There is nothing I do that is not dangerous."
After saying that, Xiao Zhan walked towards the entrance of the alley. As he walked, he said to Deng Xiaozhuang who was following behind him:
"After renting a place, come here to see me in the evening."
After saying that, Xiao Zhan walked out of the alley and walked to the right.
Deng Xiaozhuang stood at the entrance of the alley and waited for a while before walking to the left.
On the street outside the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Zhan reached out and touched the star stone in his arms.
He can now absorb the star power contained in this star stone.
But doing this will only allow Xiao Zhan to reach the eighth level of the Starlight Realm, and there won't be much progress.
But without using this star stone, Xiao Zhan estimates that it won't be long before he can reach the eighth level of the Starlight Realm.
It would be better to let this star stone play a greater role.
There are many experts in the city lord's palace.
But at night, those people at the captain level all returned to their residences and did not stay in the city lord's mansion.
In the City Lord's Mansion, there are only City Lord Hong Biao and a hundred team members responsible for guarding the City Lord's Mansion. The strength of these team members is between the fifth level of Starlight Realm and the ninth level of Starlight Realm.
As mentioned before, Liangcheng, Songcheng, and most of the cities in Tianlan World have the same layout.
The Tianlao in the city is on the west side of the City Lord's Mansion, less than a thousand meters away in a straight line.
The people responsible for guarding the Heavenly Prison are only some Starlight Realm guards.
After Xiao Zhan approached the Tianlao, he directly knocked out the two third-level Starlight Realm guards on duty outside the Tianlao, and then entered the Tianlao.
Xiao Zhan knew that every city was arresting people from Tianlan World.
Liangcheng must be no exception.
Xiao Zhan reasoned in his mind about who killed Liangcheng's previous city lord.
The final conclusion was that the murderer was most likely someone from Tianlan World.
Then the problem arises.
A city lord from the Star Glory Realm was killed. This was no small matter.
If the people of Tianlan World did not hide themselves well during this critical period, why would they commit such a big case?
Perhaps it was because among the people from Tianlan World captured by Liangcheng, there were very special and important beings.
Of course, this is just Xiao Zhan's speculation and may not necessarily be correct.
But when there are no clues, reasoning can often provide some ideas.
And Xiao Zhan also made inquiries in the city today.
In the few days when the previous city lord of Liangcheng was killed, something happened in Tianlao.
Someone tried to storm the prison, but failed.
As for why it didn't succeed, no one knows.
Xiao Zhan believed that he could guess this, and the Domain Lord of the Qingyun Domain would also be able to guess it.
He deliberately arranged the new city lord of Liangcheng so late, most likely to lure out the big fish hiding in Moyun World in Qingyun Domain.
Xiao Zhan ran away from these complicated thoughts in his mind and looked towards the dark corridor ahead.
In the darkness, there were painful wails, bursts of sleep talking, and roars mixed together, reaching Xiao Zhan's ears.
Suddenly, a voice came from the dark passage.
Xiao Zhan glanced at an empty cell next to him, walked in directly, and stood in the darkness.
