Chapter 48 Treasure theft
Bai Hedi's gaze followed the direction pointed by the other party, and only a few steps away, an adult man fell in a pool of blood, as if he had lost his breath.

He was silent for a moment, his eyelids drooping, and said: "Since the city is closed, accidents are bound to happen. If you follow the arrangements, accidents will not happen."

The look of struggle and guilt flashed in his eyes, and then he looked away and said, "From now on, everyone will be strictly guarded. Everyone must be questioned until they find the magic cultivator!"

As soon as the voice fell, someone spat and scolded: "Fuck, don't talk about catching the devil, I think you just want to trap us and let the people in the whole city bury your dead son with you. !"

Hearing this, Bai Hedi's complexion became visibly worse.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The mansion guard on the side said angrily: "The city lord closed the city for your safety, is it for the sake of the young city lord?"

The man said: "Look at you, they have to fight with our flat-headed people! Oh, so this is how you protect the people of Liuguang City! I have seen it today."

"What are you all doing? If you don't ask for justice at this moment, are you waiting for our great 'City Lord' to sacrifice us to the demon cultivator?"

With the crisis of life and death ahead, and the constant voices and agitation, the people immediately became excited.

Even though they were facing the city lord Liuguang, they desperately shouted to seek justice and go out of the city gate.

Yu Xuanchi came back at this time.

When he returned to the lobby of the inn, he happened to hear Bai Hedi's low scolding:
"Everything is quiet! Justice, if you want to seek justice, you have to wait for the demon cultivator to be arrested! Just think that I want to find a funeral for my son. In short, before the demon cultivator is caught, you are not allowed to leave Yanbo City for half a step!"

He ordered: "Detain everyone, and don't let one go!"

Yu Xuanchi stepped forward and said, "City Lord wait a minute."

*
The matter also started when Yu Xuanchi left the inn.

After some searching, he used the ground to shrink into an inch, and in the blink of an eye, he came to a backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

After that, Yu Xuanchi followed the clues and found the mourning hall that was hastily built.

At this time, the city lord's mansion was full of veil.All the decorations that had been decorated with lanterns and decorated to celebrate the birthday of the city lord were all taken down and replaced with plain white silk.

Below some of the promenades, lanterns filled with the word "Dian" were hung.

When passing by by chance, Yu Xuanchi found the disciples and servants who were busy inside and outside, all with panic on their faces.They looked nervous and looked left and right from time to time, as if they were on guard for something.

Yu Xuanchi felt strange.

The reaction of the servants in the palace was unusual.They seem to be very afraid, as if there is some danger around them all the time.

But Mo Xiu has left the City Lord's Mansion, what else are they afraid of?
Yu Xuanchi suppressed the doubts in his heart, and after the crowd in front had dispersed, he looked for an opportunity to enter the mourning hall.

In the mourning hall, the coffin where the corpse is stored is placed in the center and back.Indistinctly, there is a strange smell in the air, mixed with sandalwood, which makes the smell even more strange.

Yu Xuanchi's expression froze, and he immediately opened the coffin to take a look.In an instant, a long-decomposed corpse came into view.

The degree of decay of the corpse in front of him made it impossible to see his face.The plaques on the body are long and densely packed.There were no worms on the corpse, and it could be seen that the carrion had been cleaned up.

Obviously, this is not the corpse that just died.

Yu Xuanchi turned his head and glanced at the desk that was enshrined. There was a tablet above it, and it was written "The position of the beloved son Bai Jingyun".

In other words, this is the son of Bai Hedi, the Lord of Liuguang City, Bai Jingyun.

This is inconsistent with the previously probed news.

According to the soldiers in the city, the magic cultivator killed the young city lord at the city lord's birthday banquet, which means that in theory, Bai Jingyun died tonight.

But the deceased in front of him has been dead for a while, and it is absolutely impossible that he was killed today.

Either the information is wrong, or the people in the City Lord's Mansion have mistaken the body.

But this is the son of the city lord. Anyone can admit his mistake, but the city lord will never admit his own son.

From this, it can be inferred that the City Lord's Mansion deliberately released fake news to make others misunderstood.

The purpose of this is nothing more than to cover up the truth of the matter in order to achieve a certain purpose.

But what is the truth behind Bai Jingyun's death?Why do they deliberately hide the truth from telling it?

The young city lord has already died, why has no one discovered it until today?
What kind of means did the demon cultivator take to be discovered by the people of the City Lord's Mansion until this time?
One mystery after another emerged in his mind, Yu Xuanchi thought for a while, and then closed the coffin again.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and there was a conversation between two men:

"Now things are like this, a good happy event has turned into a white one, and the treasure has been stolen by that devil. Alas, it's hard to do now."

"There is no way out. Who knows that the devil has the ability to arbitrarily transform into someone else's appearance, which makes it hard to guard against. Otherwise, he would not have succeeded so easily."

"That's right, I don't know how the city owner is now, whether he has caught the devil."

"That devil came from an unusual origin, and he was highly skilled in martial arts. At that time, so many of us were not his opponents. Coupled with his ability to disguise himself, it might not be easy to catch people."

"It's not easy to catch. If he is allowed to sneak out of the city with something, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Come on, let's talk about other things, let's burn incense sticks for the young city master first."

……

Yu Xuanchi hid in the dark and listened to their words, he already had guesses in his heart, then he squeezed the tactic in his hand, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Returning to the inn again, Yu Xuanchi found that the place was in chaos.At this time, there was a loud noise from the lobby.

He lifted his foot and walked in, just as he heard Liuguang City Lord Bai Hedi angrily scolding the people in the city.

"City Lord, wait!" He said: "Even if you keep the people here, you may not be able to find the magic cultivator. He has the ability to disguise himself as someone else, so he naturally has a way to escape your eyes and ears."

The voice reached Bai Hedi's ears, and he suddenly froze.I saw him glance at him solemnly, with vigilance in his eyes:

"Who are you and what do you know?"

The words fell, and the surrounding government soldiers drew their swords and surrounded them.

"Master."

Su Xinling let out a cry, then followed behind Yu Xuanchi.

Fu Xilou's expression was confused: "Huh? What's the situation, isn't he resting in the guest room?"

Su Xinling said to him: "Your Excellency, just watch, no need to say more."

Fu Xilou: "...Oh." Although I didn't understand it very well, let's do it anyway.

At this time, Jin Xiangyi glanced at Yu Xuanchi and speculated that he should have found some clues, so he stepped forward and said, "City Lord Liuguang, I think it is necessary for us to talk about it separately."

Hearing this, Bai Hedi showed hesitation.

At this time, Yu Xuanchi added: "As for the stolen 'treasure', I think the city owner also wants to know where it goes."

In an instant, the face of the city lord changed.He stared at them with gloomy eyes, inexplicable.

"City Lord, why don't you take them..."

"No need." Bai Hedi waved his hand and said, "Since you want to talk alone, come with me."

 Come on!
  The network at home is not very good these days, and sometimes it doesn't, and I'm about to crash.I can have nothing, but not without the Internet!

  Fortunately, someone came to repair it today, hee hee hee, the network is up, my happiness is back!
