Chapter 518
There is indeed someone behind Hu Dabiao.
Zhu Zhishan and Zhu Zhihai went to the City Lord's Mansion twice to request that the City Lord's Mansion send people to eliminate Hu Dabiao's gang of gangsters and protect Xiaozhu Village, but they received no response.
This is not only because Zhu Zhishan's identity as the father-in-law of the city lord is outdated, but also because Hu Dabiao is related to the city lord's mansion.
At this time, in a remote courtyard in the city lord's palace.
A captain on the fifth level of the Star Mirror looked at the person kneeling in front of him with a gloomy expression.
This person's name is Zhao Qiping. He has been the captain of the City Lord's Mansion for ten years and is quite famous throughout Luo Fei City.
Because although he is not the most powerful captain in the City Lord's Mansion, he is the most vicious captain in the City Lord's Mansion in Luo Fei City.
Especially when it comes to suppressing bandits.
In the ten years since he served as the captain of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhao Qiping has eliminated hundreds of bandit forces.
Not only that, these gangsters will undergo inhuman torture after being caught by Zhao Qiping.
At this time, Zhao Qiping looked coldly at the man kneeling on the ground, with murderous intent surging in his eyes.
"Hu Dabiao is a brainless person, don't you have a brain too?!"
Zhao Qiping lowered his voice and roared:
"I sent you to keep an eye on Hu Dabiao to prevent him from causing trouble for me. That bastard actually went to Xiaozhu Village to run wild!"
"Zhu Zhishan from Xiaozhu Village is the father-in-law of the city lord. Although the city lord has married another wife, who knows whether the city lord will miss the past and ask about this matter?"
The young man kneeling on the ground heard the murderous intent in Zhao Qiping's words, and his face turned pale with fright, and he kowtowed and begged for mercy:
"Captain, it's not that I don't care, it's that I can't control it!"
"Hu Dabiao was so fearless that day that he simply couldn't listen to what I said."
Zhao Qiping's eyes instantly became more fierce:
"Now that Hu Dabiao is dead, who will be my pawn in the future?"
After a moment of silence, Zhao Qiping said coldly:
"The area in Xiaozhu Village is under my control. There will be no banditry on the territory I manage."
"You take people to Xiaozhu Village immediately. Within three days, the matter in Xiaozhu Village must be settled."
"The three people who helped Xiaozhu Village kill Hu Dabiao should be dealt with quietly, and then let Zhu Zhishan come to the City Lord's Mansion to admit his mistake and admit that the things about the gangsters were just made up by him."
The face of the person kneeling on the ground tightened, and a flash of fear flashed in his eyes:
"Captain, the opponent even killed Hu Dabiao. My strength is not as good as Hu Dabiao. I..."
"Trash, what use do you have!" Zhao Qiping snorted coldly: "Get away, I want to kick you to death."
"I will arrange this myself."
The man kneeling on the ground kowtowed three times and ran away as if running for his life.
Zhao Qiping stood in the secluded courtyard, frowning and thinking.
If the city lord really asked about the affairs of Xiaozhu Village, even if it was just a casual question, he would have to give an explanation.
But how to explain it?
The city lord is not a fool, nor is he easily deceived.
He, Zhao Qiping, is not an innocent person. With just one investigation, he can find out what happened to him.
He was secretly hooking up with the wife of the current city lord.
He secretly hid a star stone but did not turn it in.
Even the previous city lord's wife, Zhu Zhishan's daughter, did not die of illness unexpectedly, but because she disobeyed him and was given a chronic poison by him to fake her death.
Once these things are found out, even ten thousand lives of Zhao Qiping will not be enough to die.
"We have to find a way!"
Zhao Qiping's eyes were sharp, "I am a bandit-suppressing hero, and everyone in the city respects me."
"We must find a scapegoat."
After thinking about it, Zhao Qiping suddenly smiled.
That night, Zhao Qiping became furious and rushed into the city lord's yard with murderous intent.
he
He was holding a knife in his right hand and a corpse in his left hand, covered in blood.
The city lord Luo Fei is a dark-faced man with a strong body and a powerful look. Although his eyes are majestic, he also looks calm.
"Qi Ping, it's so late, why did you come to see me for something?"
Zhao Qiping clasped his fists, then angrily pointed at the corpse on the ground and growled:
"Lord City Lord, a few days ago, Mr. Zhu Zhishan and Mr. Zhu Zhihai from Xiaozhu Village came to the City Lord's Mansion to report that a group of gangsters were targeting Xiaozhu Village!"
"After getting the news, I immediately took people to Xiaozhu Village."
Luo Fei nodded: "Isn't suppressing bandits what you are best at?"
"Since you took action, all the gangsters must have been wiped out. There is no need to report to me."
Zhao Qiping's eyes sternly said: "Lord City Lord, if it is an ordinary banditry, I will definitely not bother you Lord City Lord."
Luo Fei nodded: "Tell me, what's the difference?"
Zhao Qiping pointed to the bloody corpse on the ground and said in a deep voice:
"Sir City Lord, when this group of gangsters were interrogated by me, they revealed a major piece of news that I dare not handle on my own. I must report it to the Lord City Lord."
Luo Fei frowned: "Speak."
Zhao Qiping took a deep breath and continued:
"The leader of this gang of gangsters has an affair with...the wife of the former city lord!"
"Later, fearing that the matter would be exposed, the gangster leader found a way to kill the former city lord's wife, and even created the illusion of death from illness to confuse the city lord."
"I originally wanted to capture the bandit leader and bring him to the Lord of the City for questioning, but..."
Luo Fei's face was not as angry as he imagined, but as calm as water.
"But what?"
"However, the gangster leader is well hidden. Not only do the people in Xiaozhu Village not know that he is the gangster leader, they also treat him as a guest."
"In order to avoid conflicts with the villagers of Xiaozhu Village, I did not attack the bandit leader."
Having said this, Zhao Qiping knelt down on one knee and gritted his teeth and said:
"Even Mr. Zhu Zhishan obeyed the gang leader's words. He was the murderer of his daughter!"
Luo Fei's expression remained unchanged, but he slowly asked:
"Then you came to me, what kind of order do you want me to give?"
Zhao Qiping took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"I would like to ask the city lord to give an order to let me lead people to arrest the gangster leader and the gangsters hiding in the villagers. However, conflicts may break out with the villagers of Xiaozhu Village."
Luo Fei nodded, "Go ahead, I'll leave this matter to you. I'm relieved that I don't have to report this matter again."
Zhao Qiping nodded quickly, stood up, picked up the body on the ground, and left directly.
After Zhao Qiping left, an old man appeared in the yard.
Unexpectedly, this old man turned out to be Zhu Zhishan.
Zhu Zhishan sighed, sat down opposite Luo Fei, gritted his teeth and said:
"Why would you keep such a villain?"
Luo Fei shook his head and said with a smile:
"Villains have their uses."
"He wanted to cover up his sins, but he never thought that he could survive until now, not because of how powerful he was, but because I wanted to follow the clues and find out the person behind him."
"He killed the woman I loved most. How could I forget this revenge?"
Luo Fei's eyes became extremely cold:
"In order to find out those people behind Zhao Qiping, I deliberately married a new wife and deliberately approached him."
"Now, it's almost time for reckoning."
"Dad, that Xiao Zhan you are talking about, let's see how capable he is. If he is really good, I am willing to let him serve as the captain of the city lord's mansion."
Zhu Zhishan patted Luo Fei on the shoulder:
"In the past few years, I have always thought that you and I
This father-in-law is alienated. You married the new city lord's wife. I still have resentment in my heart. "
"Now I know that you are suffering more than me."
"You know who your enemy is, but you still have to watch it jump in front of you. You know you have the strength to take revenge, but you still have to tolerate it."
"Fortunately, your plan will succeed. Now that we have found out the forces behind Zhao Qiping, let's take action. I will come too. I will avenge my daughter."
After saying that, Zhu Zhishan turned and left.
Looking at Zhu Zhishan's old back, a smile appeared on Luo Fei's face.
"Old Immortal, since you took the initiative to send me to your door, let me perform this big show in your little bamboo village."
A man in black robe appeared in the yard and lowered his voice:
"The plans in the Qingyun Region and the Snow Region have failed. Elder Qiao Feng has also died. There is not even a single person in our Moyun World hiding in the Tianlan World."
"Now, the Presbyterian Church has formed a search team to conduct another investigation in each city."
"In three months at most, people from the search team will come to Luofei City."
"Zhao Qiping still doesn't know that we are also from the Moyun world, so it would be more appropriate for him and those behind him to be the scapegoats."
Luo Fei nodded: "If we handle this well, we should be able to deceive the search team."
"Success or failure, life or death, it all depends on this time."
Speaking of this, Luo Fei suddenly laughed:
"My good wife was indeed chronically poisoned by Zhao Qiping."
"But who could know that she died because she discovered my true identity?"
"Zhao Qiping and Zhu Zhishan are just clowns."
Xiaozhu Village.
The sun is shining brightly today and there are no clouds in the sky.
The villagers of Xiaozhu Village are working hard in the fields and talking loudly to each other across a long distance. It seems that the haze caused by banditry has dissipated.
When Zhao Qiping walked into Xiaozhu Village with his five hundred men, the villagers working in the fields stood up straight and watched.
Seeing that Zhao Qiping and the five hundred men behind him were all wearing the black standard armor of the city lord's palace, the villagers were stunned, and then they all waved their hands and shouted:
"It's too late, the gangsters have been eliminated!"
"You can go back. Thank you very much. All the gangsters are dead!"
Zhao Qiping glanced coldly at the villagers in the field and winked at the people behind him.
"These gangsters actually pretended to be villagers and thought they could get away with it."
"Catch these gangsters and beat them until they admit that they are gangsters."
Subduing the enemy into a move is already Zhao Qiping's usual method.
When the villagers were arrested, they immediately panicked and kept shouting:
"It's unfair, we are not gangsters, the gangsters have been eliminated, eliminated!"
But Zhao Qiping ignored them at all, and said with a cruel smile:
"Go, arrest everyone in Xiaozhu Village!"
"They have colluded with gangsters and are no longer simple villagers. They are no different from gangsters."
"Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
After saying that, Zhao Qiping looked in the direction of the ancestral hall and shouted:
"Zhu Zhishan, old man, get out of here!"
"You colluded with gangsters, and now the matter has been exposed, you can't escape!"
In the ancestral hall.
Zhu Zhishan frowned when he heard the roar, his old and muddy eyes full of anger:
"Zhao Qiping! He doesn't even know that he is about to die, yet he dares to come to Xiaozhu Village to confuse right and wrong!"
"I'm going to the City Lord's Mansion to find my son-in-law right now!"
Next to him, Zhu Zhiming, who could barely stand up, stood up with a cane, his eyes full of worry:
"Brother Zhishan, it's too late to go to the city lord's mansion to bring in reinforcements now."
"Young Master Xiao is still in our Xiaozhu Village. I just hope that Young Master Xiao can deal with Zhao Qiping."
Zhu Zhishan snorted coldly and rushed towards the direction where Zhao Qiping appeared.
"Zhao Qiping, what do you want to do?!"
Zhu Zhishan suppressed the murderous intention in his heart and roared angrily.
He wanted to break out now and say that his daughter was killed by Zhao Qiping, but he was afraid of delaying the plan of the city lord Luo Fei, so he could only grit his teeth and glare at Zhao Qiping:
"We went to the city lord's mansion twice to bring in reinforcements, but you turned a blind eye."
"Now that the gangsters have been eliminated, you actually come here and say that our people in Xiaozhu Village are colluding with the gangsters!"
"I wish Zhishan a long life, and I have never seen such a shameless person like you! Confusing right and wrong! A heinous rat!"
Zhao Qiping laughed ferociously: "Scold me, scold me. The more you scold me, the more it will prove your incompetence."
"When I say you are colluding with gangsters, you are colluding with gangsters."
"The man who killed Hu Dabiao and the two women beside him were the leaders of Hu Dabiao's group."
"You join forces to put on a show and use the lives of Hu Dabiao and those two hundred gangsters to cover up the fact that all of your Xiaozhu Village are also gangsters!" Z.br>
"I have received the order from the Lord of the City. Today, your Xiaozhu Village will be a river of blood, and you gangsters will be littered with corpses!"
