Doesn't this implicitly mean that if the city lord recognizes Lu Qingtian as his father, then he won't be blamed?
Several people who didn't dare to speak now became even more silent.
The atmosphere was tense for a while.
"I think I haven't offended the young marquis, right? I wonder why the young marquis is targeting me like this?"
The city lord looked like he didn't understand anything.
"They should know if there is anything you don't know about."
Lu Feng pointed his finger at those silent ones and said with a smile:
"Am I right?"
People on this side of the border have probably forgotten his father's reputation.
Also, it has not made any waves for several years, and it is indeed easy to be forgotten.
But others can forget, how can these few who eat like pigs forget?
However, the one who ate the most oily mouth looked like a hypocrite.
"Haha... Since the young Marquis is so dissatisfied with us, why not go back and rest early. You can see the Marquis's personal guards in a few days."
Seeing that Lu Feng had no intention of talking nicely, the city lord stopped inviting guests.
As a young marquis, it was naturally impossible for Lu Feng to go to the border. He meant to let Lu Feng wait here obediently.
Lu Feng reached back and Xu Zhe, who had almost filled his stomach, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to him.
The city lord looked confused when he saw the piece of paper.
Lu Feng looked at the words on the paper and smiled:
"There are a total of one hundred and twenty-nine guards in my Marquis's house at the border. Ten of them have incomplete hands and feet, and the rest are fine. I hope this number will not be wrong by then."
After hearing this number, several people became cautious.
I thought that after such a long time, Lu Qingtian would no longer remember how many of these people there were, but now there is such a clear number.
"Oh, by the way, I also have their list in my hand. City Lord, please don't think about finding anyone to fool this little Marquis."
After all, you can’t pick up the wrong person when picking someone up, right?
The city lord's eyes were dark.
"These people are not in my city. If something goes wrong, wouldn't the blame be placed on me? The young marquis is being too unreasonable."
"Is this what the Marquis taught you?"
"It has nothing to do with my father. I have been so unreasonable since I was a child."
Lu Feng spread his hands, then put the piece of paper away and stood up.
"Then I'll be here waiting for people to come over these days. It's better not to come over and disturb me if you have nothing to do, otherwise you will be unhappy if I get angry."
After saying that, he glanced at the dancer and left with Xu Zhe.
When they came this time, the guards who came with them seemed to be here to eat, and Lu Feng... was here to warn them.
After Lu Feng left, someone among the people spoke.
"I thought this person was really who he said in the news, but I didn't expect there to be such a city."
They were lagging behind in news, so naturally they didn't know what was happening in the capital.
And the city lord has no intention of telling them these things. How can a young boy still not be able to handle it on his own?
But now, the city lord found that Lu Feng was really difficult to deal with.
He slapped his palm on the stone table.
boom!
"Find someone to watch over Lu Feng!"
It was okay at first, but there was always someone among the guards who couldn't recognize his identity, and one of them was taken into the city lord's palace.
Today, he is still locked up in the dungeon.
One of the wealthy businessmen who heard this nodded quickly.
They were standing on the same boat as the city lord. If Lu Feng really caused trouble for them, everyone would be done with it.
"City Lord, with all due respect, even if I block his mouth at this moment, there is no guarantee that Lu Qingtian will not be told when he returns to the capital."
"Instead of waiting for him to come back, why don't we..."
The speaker made a gesture of wiping his neck, which made the meaning very obvious.
"Of course you can't do it in my city. Let's wait until he leaves."
There was a glint in the city lord's eyes. Of course, he couldn't do this kind of thing.
These people on the table are all the best scapegoats.
Several people didn't know that they would be pulled out to be gunmen, they just thought that the city lord had other plans.
After the party ended, the city lord went straight to the study.
Even though this place is just a small border town, in fact the generals on several surrounding defense lines are old friends of the city lord.
They were sent by the emperor to guard this border city, and they had not seen the capital for decades.
What I see every day are extremely poor refugees.
Who has ever thought that they used to be young men who rode horses and drank wine in the capital? Have you ever been able to sit back and relax?
This also leads to them being more sensual than some officials.
The study screen was slightly moved, and in a blink of an eye, a secret door appeared in front of me, and the secret door turned and moved away.
Inside is a long dark passage with lights on the walls.
When the city lord walked in, the secret door closed automatically.
Inside the secret door is the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion, and this study is just an entrance into it.
There was one in the dungeon specially designed for him, the city lord. It was a huge cage, similar to a cage for birds.
There were teenage girls in the iron cage. When they heard the footsteps, they huddled together in fear and stared at the other side.
Until the figure of the city lord appeared in front of them, the little girls closed their eyes like quails, and some had dull faces.
They are better dressed than the refugees outside and will not die of cold in this cold dungeon.
The guards guarding these little girls saw the city lord coming and hurried forward to report the situation.
"Lord City Lord, those few are on a hunger strike and will not open their mouths until they die."
As he spoke, he looked at the least energetic among them.
If you don't eat anymore, you probably won't live long.
"Don't eat?"
The city lord walked over there. It was a cage with no hiding place at all.
He knelt down in front of the girls, looked at their pale lips and the extremely hateful eyes they showed towards him, and reached out his hand to pinch the chin of one of the girls.
The girl was very stubborn and just looked at him, with the familiar anger of the city lord surging in her eyes.
He was getting tired of looking at her like this.
"It seems that I am too kind to you. I remember that someone was holding you when you were brought in, right?"
The girl's appearance was outstanding among the other girls. She was one of the daughters of dancing girls.
As the city lord spoke, he turned to look at the place opposite the cage.
There are two iron rings embedded in the wall, with people hanging on them.
Or else Lu Qingtian's people are troublesome?
He rubbed the girl's chin and walked towards the hanging person in her angry eyes.
"What are you going to do? He is innocent!"
After not eating for several days, the girl's voice was a little weak, but she still held on to the iron rod and shouted to the city lord.
The city lord didn't look back and signaled the guard to open the door here.
His eyes fell on the man's disabled leg. Fortunately, he had been disabled for a long time, otherwise things would have been a bit difficult.
"City Lord."
The guard saw what he meant and offered the whip.
The person was still in a coma, but he couldn't bear the hunger and fainted.
Under the gaze of the girls, the thing with slight barbs fell straight on the crippled kneecap!
"ah!"
The timid girls covered their eyes and couldn't bear to look.
The man also let out a muffled groan and was woken up by the pain.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw another whip falling on his leg, and a heartbreaking pain came...
"Well."
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still smiled at the girl who was crying over there.
However, the next whip caused his face to become distorted.
