Chapter 1378 Another frame-up


Chapter 1378 Another False Accusation

While Liu Jun was concentrating on cooking, the rest of the caravan was concentrating on watching the dancers, and the dignitaries of Red Star City were concentrating on Gongsun Ji, a cloud of smoke quickly filled the center of the banquet.

At the same time, a cold light flashed through the smoke and went straight to the Lord of the City.

“No, there are assassins!”

“Quick, protect the city lord”

When everyone was in chaos, Han Guang had already arrived in front of the Lord of the City.

The city lord seemed not to have seen the cold light, and still leaned lazily on his seat, motionless.

At this time, an old man behind the city lord stepped forward, stretched out his dry fingers, and instantly caught the cold light and threw it to the ground with a crisp sound,

The old man waved his hand again, and the smoke that had filled the entire banquet disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Liu Jun narrowed his eyes and was a little surprised. He didn’t know the strength of this city lord yet, but the old man was quite strong. He probably had the early or middle stage of distraction.

It's just that he doesn't understand. Isn't the Lord of Scarlet Star City a subordinate of the Scarlet Sky Demon King? It's unscientific for one of his subordinates to have such a powerful bodyguard, unless the Lord of the City has another identity, which is more important than the identity of the Lord of the City. high.

"Quiet" the Lord City Lord scolded.

Everyone fell silent instantly, not daring to move for fear of offending the city lord.

"Everyone, please go back to your seats and sit down first." The old man stood up and said expressionlessly.

In a few seconds, everyone sat down again. Their positions were still the same as before, except that the positions of the dancers had changed.

At this time, the dancers were squatting on the ground one by one, shivering, not daring to speak, let alone move.

Because the smoke just started to spread from them.

And that cold light also shot out from them.

Although most of them don't know what's going on, this means that they will take the blame.

"This weapon doesn't seem to be a weapon from the abyss." The Lord of the City glanced at the cold light that just hit him.

This cold light is exactly the light on a dagger, and at this time, the dagger is lying quietly on the ground, with a few small words on it.

Although the language of the Abyss Realm is the same as that of the Demon Realm, and the writing is relatively similar, there are still some differences.

For example, the words on this dagger are the words of the demon world, not the words of the abyss. It is very obvious.

At this time, everyone’s eyes were looking at the caravan.

Because there are only caravans, they are from the demon world and are outsiders.

"Who did this? Come forward and don't let me torture you one by one." The old man did not go to the caravan, but came to the dancers and said sternly.

Perhaps they were frightened by the old man's aura, or perhaps thinking of the torture they were about to face, some of the dancers were frightened and fainted on the spot, while the rest were pale and trembling all over.

At this time, a dancer trembled, crawled forward a few steps, raised her head and looked at the old man, "Sir, I did this."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. There was an uproar. Although everyone knew that the dancer must be involved in this matter, when the dancer really admitted it, everyone was still very shocked.

A little dancing girl dared to assassinate the Lord of Red Star City. This was simply a shame.

"You? A dancer, you dare to assassinate the city lord? Tell me, who ordered you?" The old man said with a gloomy face.

“I, I dare not say”

“If you don’t say it, you will be tortured and the whole family will be buried with you. Hurry up!” The deputy general stood up and yelled loudly. .

"Yes, it was the people from the caravan who ordered me," the dancer said tremblingly.

The sound of "crash, crash, crash" sounded, and nearly a hundred city lord guards and some generals immediately surrounded the more than 20 people in the caravan.

"The people from the caravan ordered it? Who ordered it?" the old man asked again.

The dancer looked at Fat Ball and was about to say something when Fat Ball looked over and was so frightened that she immediately pointed at Liu Jun next to Fat Ball, "Yes, he ordered it"

Liu Jun was dumbfounded for a moment. He swallowed the food in his mouth first, and then pointed at himself with a confused expression, "Are you sure it's me?"

Logically speaking, he has been there since he joined the caravan. Nowadays, everyone behaves very low-key and doesn't provoke anyone. How could he be framed?

He suspected that there was something wrong with the dancer's eyes. The fat ball next to her could be three times as big as him. Why was such a big target pointing at him? What's so special, he was framed when he was in the ancient Nanzhou. Less than half a month later, he was framed again. Was he being entangled by Dou E?

"Get it!" The old man waved his hand fiercely.

“Wait a minute”

When the soldiers were about to arrest Liu Jun, the city lord stopped him.

The city lord slowly walked up to Liu Jun and looked at Liu Jun for a while, "Do you have anything to say?"

Liu Jun blinked, "Can you believe it when you say I'm complaining now?"

"How about you give it a try?" The Lord City Lord looked at Liu Jun with a half-smile.

"Lord City Lord, I am wronged. I am just a little handyman in the caravan. I don't have enough to eat or wear, and I don't have much wages. It can be as miserable as it is. If I order her, what will she get? Instigating? Money? I don’t have sex. Besides, you are so handsome. Why should I arrange for someone to assassinate you? This is completely unreasonable."

Liu Jun shocked everyone was dumbfounded.

Pang Qiu on the side also looked surprised, muttering to himself that Liu Jun was even more shameless than before.

The Lord City Lord was stunned for a moment, and then a dumbfounded expression appeared on his face. "Okay, I will investigate this matter clearly. You can sit down first."

As soon as these words came out, the people in the caravan suddenly relaxed. The tone of the words, the Lord of the City, shows that the Lord of the City does not believe that the assassination was instigated by people from the caravan.

"You all should go back and sit down first." The Lord of the City waved his hand.

The generals returned to their seats and sat upright, feeling a little scared.

Since the Lord of the City does not think that the caravan did this, then someone must have framed the caravan, and this person is likely to be among them.

"Which of you arranged this matter? Take the initiative to stand up and apologize to the people in the caravan. This city lord promises not to pursue further investigation." The city lord glanced at the generals.

The generals looked at each other, but no one stood up.

The deputy general also pretended to be calm and acted as if nothing had happened. He didn’t believe that the city lord could still find him?

“I have already given you the chance. Since no one admits it, I will not show mercy if I find out who is behind the scenes.” The city lord said expressionlessly.

Everyone was still quiet, no one said a word.

The city lord raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a sneer, and raised his right hand slightly, making a pinching gesture.

The dancer who identified Liu Jun immediately levitated and floated towards the city lord.

The city lord gently pinched the dancer's neck and whispered softly, "I guess you are not doing it for money. You shouldn't be so bold for money. That means someone is threatening you, right? Is it because of money?" Your relatives and friends are threatening you."

The dancer's face was pale, tears fell from the corners of her eyes, but she bit her lips and did not say a word.

“Yes, she has some backbone.” The city lord smiled, and suddenly his face changed. “Here, come, arrest and chop up all the relatives and friends of this dancer, who have spoken more than three sentences. ! ”

"Yes!" Immediately, several generals stood up and led their men out.

Liu Jun swallowed, the city lord was very ruthless. The biggest crime in ancient times was to kill the nine clans, that is, the four clans of the father, the third clan of the mother, and the second clan of the wife.

But these are more or less related by blood, and the city lord’s order is that anyone who has said more than three sentences to this dancer must be killed.

This is a typical example of someone who would rather kill ten thousand people by mistake than let anyone go. He is a ruthless person.

Sure enough, the dancer’s determination just now disappeared immediately.

Originally, the other party used her brother to blackmail her and asked her to frame the caravan.

But now the city lord not only wants to kill her brother, but also everyone who has anything to do with her, so this threat no longer exists.

"City, City Lord, I can tell you who is behind this, but you have to agree to a condition." The dancer's face turned red and she struggled to say.

The Lord of the City released his grip on the dancer's hand and showed a smile on his face, "Yes, you can tell me the conditions. I'll see how you feel. But if I raise this condition, you will die regardless of whether I agree or not."

The dancer gasped for breath, and after a short pause, a sad smile appeared on her face, "This slave was already prepared to die before this happened. I just beg the Lord of the City to Save my brother’s life”
