Song Qing guessed, "The other party wrote three days later, either it means that they have entered the city and know everything that happened in the city, or there are people in the city who know what happened even if they are not in the city."

Ning Yuan pointedly said, "If there is an inner ghost, then all the suspiciousness and mystery can be explained."

What disappears out of thin air, if someone responds, it is turning a blind eye.

Judging from what the other party said, there is a high possibility of an inner ghost.

The mayor scratched his head worriedly.

"I've also thought about this problem. There are 3000 soldiers in the city, and the yamen guards will arrest about a hundred more people, but I can't find out the problem, and I can't use them."

All he can do is try to use his confidants to guard the City Lord's Mansion.

"Master Ning, don't worry, I will send Zhang Shan to guard the West Courtyard. Although this kid is stubborn, he has good skills."

If something happened to a few nobles in his city lord's mansion, he still couldn't afford to walk around, so he could only bear the pain and give up.

Yanyan always felt that something was wrong.

Xiaoyong couldn't help but speak.

"Master Zhang, since those thieves are so powerful, why are some people caught by you? Since they have the ability to steal the day, why can't they rescue their accomplices?

Could it be that he felt that he would lose face after being rescued, so he had to ask the government to compromise?But I don't think the other party is such a brainless thief. "

The son's words expressed the doubts in her heart, which was also what she found strange.

So Yanyan asked, "Master Zhang, haven't you ever thought of using that child-stealing prisoner to catch his accomplice out?"

The city lord did not expect a five or six-year-old child to ask such sharp questions, and they hit the nail on the head.

"The young master thought very carefully, and we couldn't figure out why. As for the method this lady mentioned, the master had thought about it before, and I even removed the guards on purpose, but those people didn't take the bait at all.

Maybe they are doing it purely for face. "

Hey, the city lord sighed again, he still had no way to compromise, otherwise it would become a stain on his political career, so he could only bear the brunt of it, until now, even his own children were threatened.

The arrival of the guards of the Song family two days ago gave him a glimmer of hope.

"Did Mr. Zhang arraign that prisoner?"

"Master Hui Song, he has already been interrogated, he only said that he is a bandit, as for why he stole the child, where is his gang, who is it, these are not mentioned.

It was also because the other party was a bandit, and I worried that the other party would commit crimes if he was released after a few years of imprisonment, so I tattooed him and exiled him. "

"bandit?"

Yanyan's heart moved, and somehow she thought of someone.

"Master Zhang, what's the prisoner's name?"

"It's called Li Qiang."

Is it really Li Qiang?

Yanyan doesn't quite believe that Li Qiang is not a bad person, and he also promises to turn over a new leaf, so why would he come to steal a child?
No money?
It shouldn't be, the things in the supermarket are so cheap, he doesn't have to worry about running out of money to buy and sell casually.

Looking at her expression, Ning Yuan knew that something was wrong with this prisoner.

"Master Zhang, I wonder if it is convenient for us to meet this Li Qiang?"

"Convenient, of course."

The city owner was overjoyed, wishing they would intervene in this matter.

Soon, people were brought over.

The prisoner was wearing a piece of clean clothes, his hair was combed, his face was washed, and the word 'pirate' was printed on it.

Even after tidying up, Yanyan could still smell the faint smell of blood on the other party's body.

What's more, it can also feel that the vitality in this person's body is running out, and it won't last for a few days if it goes on like this.

"My lord, the prisoner Li Qiang has been brought here."

As soon as the jailer let go of his hand, the prisoner lay limply on the ground, and the cuffs on his hands and feet rattled.

The city lord frowned slightly, how could he interrogate him in a coma?

"Hurry up and see the doctor."

"No, give this to him."

Qiu Guzi took out a small bottle and poured out a black pill from it.

The jailer looked at the white-haired man, and then at the city lord.

The city lord looked at Song Qing, saw the other party nodding, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to take it for the prisoner.

The effect of the pill was very good, and within a few breaths after taking it, the prisoner began to move.

Then the other party hummed twice and opened his eyes.

so smart?

When the city lord looked at Qiu Guzi again, it was the same as looking at an expert outside the world. No wonder he was called Qiu Lao by Mr. Song. It was really not easy.

Can I get some of this pill myself?

He looked at Qiu Guzi with fiery eyes.

Besides, the people on the ground woke up and their breathing stabilized.

He looked at the current environment with a puzzled expression, shouldn't he be on the street?
Suddenly a pair of shoes appeared in front of him, and then the owner of the shoes knelt down and looked at him.

"Li Qiang, it really is you."

A woman's voice came from above his head, which made him feel familiar and distant.

I am about to die, so do I have auditory hallucinations?
Li Qiang smiled as if he was relieved, he was finally going to die, and he was finally free.

Yanyan frowned slightly, and stretched out her hand to help her up.

"Be careful."

Ning Yuan quickly pulled her back, put his arm around her shoulder and took two steps back.

Song Qing beckoned, and two guards stepped forward to set him up.

Finally seeing the face of the woman in front of him clearly, Li Qiang was stunned for a while, and then began to cry.

Grievance, sadness, regret, all kinds of emotions were intertwined in his expression and crying.

Yanyan knew that he recognized her, so she didn't make a sound, but let him cry to vent her emotions.

The city lord looked at the two of them and murmured in his heart, do you know each other?It shouldn't be. Could it be that the mysterious gang is backed by an aristocratic family, which is why they are so rampant?

No wonder he thought too much, he thought Yanyan was from the Ning family, with their status, how could they know ordinary bandits?

He rolled his eyes, feeling that he might have hit the wrong target this time, and he could be saved.

When he was almost crying, Yanyan asked him, "What happened to Li Qiang, how did you become like this?"

Facing the other party's puzzled eyes, Li Qiang lowered his head in shame.

"Miss Yan, I, I am ashamed of your trust in me."

Such a precious thing as a membership card was originally for him to help those victims who had no food to eat, but what happened?

Yanyan's expression was a little dignified, and she felt strange before, how could he suddenly be so rich?Thinking about the group of people who wanted to save him, she came up with an idea.

"Are you forced to partner with others? And that group is really powerful?"

Li Qiang opened his eyes wide in surprise, unexpectedly she guessed it.

"About two months after you left, Tianji Temple suddenly sent envoys over because I hadn't provided them with children for two consecutive months, and then they discovered the existence of the membership card.

They want to recruit me to be an outsider of Tianji Temple, saying that with me, those children will not be hungry.I thought that only by going to Tianji Temple can the membership card be used to the fullest, so I agreed, and then took my brothers from the village to Tianji Temple.

Everything was fine until I found Song Xiaobao there. "
