Apart from the dead Shen Hong and Zhang Yangsong, who was doomed to a narrow escape, the most depressed person in Yongchuan City was undoubtedly the lord of Yongchuan City, Feng Mingyuan.
If he could curse, Feng Mingyuan had already pointed at Shen Hong's body and cursed loudly.
You said you were so desperate, why did you think about sneaking into the city and fishing? Do you really want to single-handedly take down a key criminal who has been listed on the sea arrest documents for hundreds of years? Where does this confidence come from? !
Feng Mingyuan had already thought about how he would coordinate to set up the dragnet after the envoy arrived. He even did a good job of giving credit to the state capital for psychological construction. The result was a complete upset.
The credit he wanted and the results he expected were all wiped out by Shen Hong's death.
"Sir, those secret guards have confirmed that the dead man is indeed Shen Hong, an outer disciple of the Huangmen Yun Sect, and he is also the disciple sent by the Huangmen Yun Sect to deal with the ghost cultivator this time. In addition, the person next to the body is The wooden staff weapon and the two array disks in the next room belong to Shen Hong. And according to the secret guard's judgment of the corpse, which is the same as yours, they all believe that it died from soul devouring. The Yin Qi in the body The remnants also showed that the identity of the perpetrator was undoubtedly a ghost cultivator.
However, these secret guards did not have the ability to draw conclusions about Shen Hong's death. They had to wait for the people from Huangmen Yunzong to come over to deal with it. "
In the city lord's palace, Feng Mingyuan sat on a chair and took a sip from his tea cup. After listening to Zhou Zhonghao's report below, the depression and worry on his face did not dissipate at all.
Putting the tea cup heavily on the table, Feng Mingyuan said in a mocking tone: "Secret guards, secret guards, they are like bullshit! They know how to flatter others and flatter others, but they have no real ability at all. They are all those who fail to succeed and fail to succeed. Damn it! Zhang Yangsong won't survive this time, I think we should pull out these secret guards and kill them in batches!"
Feng Mingyuan was also a person sent from the capital of the Hong Dynasty. He was also a rich man like the city lord, so he naturally knew a lot of things. He knew very well what kind of group of people the so-called secret guards who followed Huangen Yunzong were. To put it nicely, they are royal slaves; to put it worse, they are just a bunch of insects who make a living by flattering themselves.
Since he is attached to Huangmen Yunzong, all the power and oil come from this. It is common for a fox to pretend to be a tiger.
Feng Mingyuan had great opinions on these secret guards. It was these secret guards who leaked the news about the appearance of the target of the sea arrest report in Yongchuan City to the state capital Zhang Yangsong. The emissary left behind, but none of the secret guards followed. These secret guards must bear the blame for Shen Hong's tragic death. And it can be said that these secret guards accounted for at least half of Feng Mingyuan's major events.
Zhou Zhonghao did not respond to Feng Mingyuan's angry words. He also knew what the secret guards were. Although there were some strong men among them, most of them were not worthy of publicity. But the royal family of the Hong Dynasty seemed to be deliberately maintaining the existence of the secret guards. No matter how much criticism the court received, they still stood firm for hundreds of years. Therefore, what kind of punishment the secret guard will receive this time and how many people will die are not matters that Feng Mingyuan can control at all.
For Feng Mingyuan, he still has to focus on the trouble at hand. After all, if an envoy dies, the ghost cultivator must have escaped. As a landlord, Feng Mingyuan cannot escape his responsibility.
"Sir, although the matter of the secret guards is despicable, your current situation has nothing to do with the secret guards. So it is better not to care about those guys for the time being."
"How much trouble do you think I will have this time?" Feng Mingyuan's head hurt when he thought of this. There are also some expectations in mind. But I still want to hear Zhou Zhonghao’s opinion.
"Sir, judging from your background, the merits and demerits this time will not offset each other, but the merits will outweigh the faults. After all, you could not have foreseen the death of the envoy. It was a plan between the envoy and Zhang Yangsong. Zhang Yangsong Knowing but not reporting it and deliberately trying to hide it was the main reason why the commander died. So Zhang Yangsong must die no matter what. As long as he dies, the impact on you, sir, will be smaller."
Feng Mingyuan shook his head and said: "Zhang Yangsong will not survive. Even if Zhou Chong helps to intercede, it will be useless. But my troubles cannot be transferred solely by Zhang Yangsong's death. Especially since I am in this position in Yongchuan City, Zhou Chong has always had I am dissatisfied. He Jin will definitely not let this go, and he is eager to take this opportunity to drag me into the water. It is not impossible to even make Zhang Yangsong a victim."
"My lord, what do you mean?"
"Zhang Yangsong will undoubtedly die. How many secret guards will die depends on the mood of the superiors, but my trouble will be big or small. It is also possible to use Zhang Yangsong's death to escape guilt as you mentioned before, but Zhou Chong knows that he cannot save his family. In the case of the military leader, he will definitely bite me. Even if my life is not endangered, my position as the city leader of Yongchuan City may be in danger."
Zhou Zhonghao was silent for a while after hearing this. He followed Feng Mingyuan's statement and felt the possibility.
"Sir, the Feng family is behind you. The Imperial Sect Yun Sect won't be so careless about venting its anger on you, right?"
"The Zhou family is still behind Zhou Chong. The Yun Sect of the Imperial Sect wants to vent their anger by killing Zhang Yangsong, a guest of the Zhou family. Naturally, they cannot completely ignore the Zhou family's feelings. It is not unreasonable to move me to a position and give it to the Zhou family. Possibly. Afterwards, just allow the Feng family to be replaced by a city lord elsewhere. In this way, both parties will be appeased. But in the end, the position of the new city lord who will be compensated for the Feng family later may not fall into my hands. Only then This is the most troublesome part!
So whether we can continue to stay in Yongchuan City to stop things this time, we have to start from Yongchuan City itself. Even if Huangmen Yunzong has to take the Zhou family's face into consideration, he will choose to ignore me, and then find compensation for the Zhou family elsewhere. "
Zhou Zhonghao also reacted quickly and said quickly: "Sir, are you going to continue with the previous plan? Industrial park?"
"That's right. We were planning to move forward together before, but now it seems that the contribution of Guixiu can no longer be counted on. Then we can only continue to push forward the industrial park. We don't need to come up with a complete strategy, we can Learn the original method called Bailang, and whet your appetite little by little. I believe this method will definitely arouse the interest of Huangmen Yunzong. Moreover, the geographical location of Yongchuan City is special, so it is most suitable for testing.
This reason must be able to help me overcome this difficulty. "
Zhou Zhonghao responded quickly: "I understand. I will step up the process of site selection and preliminary draft construction of the industrial park. I will definitely set up an outline before the people from Huangmen Yunzong arrive."
"Well, it's good that you understand. In addition, ask the internal affairs department to prepare a supply of spiritual stones and prepare half of the inventory. This time, we can only give up money to eliminate disasters."
When Feng Mingyuan said the last sentence, he was already gritting his teeth. Even if he managed to survive this time, he would definitely suffer heavy losses.
Who do you really want to blame? It's out of the question. Feng Mingyuan can only blame himself for his bad luck, but what else can he do?
