Chapter 157 The City Lord’s Promise
The City Lord still felt unsure after sending Zhao Qingyu to Meng Furong’s Dream Building Residence. He spent two days handling the matters at hand and paid a visit in person.
There were many people outside Zhumeng Xiaoju. They were all male cultivators who came to ask for a meeting. They were all greeted by the concierge invited by Tang Yue. No one dared to make any mistakes. After all, the other party was a monk in the integration stage. If she made her angry, he would not be here to pick up a bargain, but would be here to risk his life.
The city lord got off the carriage, and when he saw these people, he became angry and immediately shouted, "What are you doing around the house? Disperse quickly."
The male cultivators saw that it was the city lord who spoke. , didn't dare to disobey, so they had to leave. Only a few disciples from famous families were not willing to do so, and still stayed not far away to watch the situation here.
Zhao Tianming went to knock on the door. The concierge knew him, so he called inside. Sure enough, after a while, a woman came out to lead the city lord to the house.
He walked into the Dream Building House with the envious and jealous eyes of the young man, and thought to himself, "Are you worthy?"
He was completely unaware that his inner thoughts had changed from trying it out. Trying becomes inevitable.
"I wonder if Furong can get used to living outside the city. It's not as complete as the city lord's mansion. You'll suffer." The city lord also handed over the meeting gifts he brought, which were all valuable fairy fruits.
Tang Yue just felt funny in her heart. Zhumeng Xiaoju was a little smaller. Although it was not as good as the old palace, it was still in very good condition and could not be bought by ordinary cultivators.
"Thank you City Lord for your concern. Furong is very used to living here. There is nothing wrong with it." She followed the City Lord's title.
"That's good. If you need anything, just let me know in Qingyu and I'll get some for you." He turned to look at Qingyu, and she was actually sitting beside her, as if she was with her before. Meng Furong eats snacks and chats here together.
He couldn't help but frown. He sent Zhao Qingyu here to serve Meng Furong. She was actually sitting here with her master, having tea together. Did she really think of herself as the lady of the city lord's palace?
Zhao Tianming was very unhappy. He felt that he was an affectionate person, but he had an accident because of Zhao Qingyu's mother's plot. His wife was so sad because of this incident that she became ill and died in childbirth. He vowed not to let the mother and child have an easy time. After torturing Zhao Qingyu's mother away, he tortured the daughter again.
In fact, later on, Zhao Tianming didn't even remember his late wife's appearance, but every time he saw Zhao Qingyu, he felt itchy with hatred and felt that he could not make her feel comfortable.
Tang Yue was worried that he would say something bad again and hurt Zhao Qingyu, so he hurriedly said: "Miss Zhao is an interesting person. She and I have been chatting very happily these days, and we even made an appointment to go there. By the lake."
"Oh, really? That's really her honor." Zhao Tianming doesn't want to expose his dark side to Meng Furong. Since she likes it, let Zhao Qingyu accompany him. Come on.
At the same time, I feel that Furong is really a kind-hearted woman, and she will be able to get along well with Aoxue.
Tang Yue took the initiative to ask, "Has the city lord arranged compensation for the more than a thousand people?"
"Ever since I listened to Furong's reminder, I feel deeply guilty and restless at night. I couldn't sleep, so I worked hard to distribute the compensation to everyone, but I couldn't tell them the truth. I used it as a reason for not taking into account the sudden appearance of the fire phoenix in the forest. I also asked Furong to forgive me, Xuanjian City needs to be careful. Some fame."
Tang Yue rolled her eyes in her heart, you know you have to worry about your reputation, why would you do such a thing? It's hard for her to express her true thoughts.
“I understand the concerns of the city lord, and I don’t want Xuanjian City to be affected by this incident, and let innocent monks bear a bad reputation that does not belong to them. By the way, the one who induced the city lord to do evil things How is the monk doing the thing?”
“Thank you Furong for understanding me. After the incident failed, the monk only said one word and left in a hurry. He was probably afraid that I or fellow Taoist Wu would fight. The fellow Taoist was causing trouble for him. I was so panicked at the time that I didn’t think of stopping such evil ways earlier and eradicating harm to the people. Now that I think about it, it’s too late to regret it.”
In fact, it was him who asked Kong Yingzong. If he leaves, the other party will be full of tricks. When he is cornered, he may still look for him to find a way out, treating it as a way out.
"It's a pity that after the evil path leaves, it will unknowingly harm the lives of many people." Tang Yue sighed softly, with sadness in his application. Zhao Tianming felt a pain in his heart. Such a beautiful woman should smile more. How could that man bear to see her look sad?
Immediately, my mind became hot and I promised: "Don't worry Furong, I will send people to trace the traces of this evil way. Xuanjian City will definitely do its best to find out the evidence of his crime and make it public, and I will personally deal with it. "
Tang Yue also admires Zhao Tianming's mentality. When the other party is useful, he is a close friend. When he is not useful, he can immediately abandon Bo Meiren with a smile, completely forgetting that it was him who agreed. Do this.
But this is exactly the promise she wants. Regardless of whether it will be realized or not, she will agree to it first and then say, "In this case, I would like to thank the city lord Gao Yi. I had planned to personally search for this evil way in a few days. If Xuanjian City can do this, it will be much faster than I can do it alone."
The city lord heard that she was leaving, and even sent his own people to investigate. It is very possible for a monk to travel and not return for decades, not to mention that Kong Yingzong is indeed an evil sect, and he does not want such a beautiful woman to die.
"There is no need for Furong to go in person, just wait for my news, and then we will go to kill him together."
"Although the city lord did a wrong thing, fortunately it did not cause any harm, and now he is determined to make up for it. He is still a kind and righteous person, I admire him.”
“Fu Rong was so impressed.”
Hey, she said so many disgusting words just to get the other party to help her kill Kong Yingzong. It takes a lot of effort.
Zhao Qingyu lowered his head and sat at the table, pouring tea for the two of them. He dismissed Zhao Tianming's promise in his heart. He said he would look for the person. Who knows how long it would take to find him? Anyway, he sent someone. , Sister Meng misjudged this person.
She wrote down that Meng Furong wanted to kill the monk, and she must help Sister Meng to live up to her kindness.
The city lord was busy after all, so he left after sitting for a while.
Zhao Qingyu looked at Meng Furong and hesitated, "Sister Meng, you can't trust this person. He is actually heartless and unjust. Now he is just coveting your beauty."
Tang Yue asked about another thing, "Qingyu, tell me the truth, what kind of life did you live in the city lord's mansion?"
When Zhao Qingyu heard this, there were tears in his eyes. , told about her mother and the experiences of their mother and son in the mansion over the years.
"If he really had no intention, he would never have had such a thing with your mother." Tang Yue frowned. Isn't this a typical example of not wanting to take responsibility and admitting that he is wrong, so he puts all the blame on others? ?
"Sister Meng thinks so too? Other people in the house who knew the facts said that mother and I deserved it. We were born to be despicable." She couldn't help it anymore, tears welled up in her eyes.
Tang Yue wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Then don't go back, stay in Zhumeng Xiaoju, I will teach you cultivation and skills."
Zhao Qingyu After hearing this, I was very grateful, "Thank you, Sister Meng, but I have to go back to my hometown to do some things in a few days. If I succeed, I will never be separated from my sister. If I fail, I will not be a drag on my sister."
Tang Yue was surprised, "Why are you going back to the City Lord's Mansion? Don't be impulsive. Your cultivation is low and you can't do anything to City Lord Zhao?"
"Don't worry, sister, I have this matter. Grasping it is not a matter of striking an egg against a stone. If I don't do this, the resentment and grievances in my heart will not be appeased, and I will not be able to achieve success in the future, so I must do this with a look of determination, and no longer feel that shrinking. , it seems that she is not completely willing to be beaten or scolded, she still has the power to resist in her heart.
"You can let me help you achieve this. You can't do it alone." Tang Yue really wanted to help her, but this would involve tricking the city lord, which was no less difficult than tricking Kong Yingzong.
Zhao Qingyu shook her head, "Sister, you can't help me with this matter. No one can help me. I can only do it myself."
