Chapter 34: The City Lord is Dead

Late at night, in the inner city government office.

Song Jinsong said to the Lord of Yuncheng City in front of him: "Sir, if there is nothing else, you can rest. I am waiting outside. If there is anything, please shout loudly!"

The Lord of Yuncheng nodded gently and said, "You can go down. Wei Fan, this dog slave, actually disobeyed the order. After these few days, I will deal with him after the masters of Sucheng arrive. He is just a warrior, but he dared not obey the order."

People have been dying one after another, especially those in the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord of Yun City no longer dares to live in his mansion. Tonight, he brought important people from his family to stay in the detention room temporarily.

He didn't dare to deal with Wei Fan at the moment, and he didn't even dare to dismiss him from his post. After all, the matter of the demon had already made him overwhelmed. If he provoked Wei Fan at this time, he would have to be mentally ill.

But this matter is not over yet. He will settle the score with Wei Fan after the expert he asked for help from Su Cheng's family arrives.

Song Jinsong didn't say anything. He didn't dare to offend Wei Fan because of his talent. At the same time, he couldn't afford to offend the city lord. Not everyone has the confidence like Wei Fan to dare to fight against the lord of a city.

"Master, come quickly, I'm very sleepy!"

"You three captains just wait outside and don't go anywhere. Call me if there's any movement!"

Listening to the enchanting voice of his favorite concubine, the Lord of Yuncheng gave Song Jinsong another instruction, hurriedly took some strong medicine, and couldn't wait to go to bed and turn off the lights.

"The city lord is so fast!"

After half a cup of tea, the noise in the room stopped. Song Jinsong and others outside couldn't help but complain in their hearts.

If it weren't for this kind of thing, they wouldn't have had the chance to eavesdrop on the city lord's words.

The night passed peacefully. When it was almost dawn, a terrified scream from the city lord's concubine suddenly came from his room.

"Something happened!"

Song Jinsong and others immediately rushed into the city lord's room, and then they saw the city lord's concubine, naked, crawling down from the bed in panic, while the city lord of Yuncheng had turned blue in the face, and had been lying on the bed for who knows how long.

"The city lord is dead!"

The three captains who saw this scene felt a buzzing sensation in their heads.

Their three captains led a group of elite yamen runners to guard outside, and they didn't even know when the city lord was killed. If the city lord's concubine hadn't woken up and found that the city lord was dead and screamed in fear, they would not have noticed anything.

"The city lord is dead?"

Wei Fan didn't expect to hear such gratifying news so early in the morning. He hoped that the city lord would die, but he didn't expect that he would really die.

This is the lord of a city, not just any random person. If such a person is killed by a demon, it will definitely alarm the Demon Suppression Department.

Wei Qingyuan was just a clerk, so even if he wanted to kill Wei Qingyuan, he didn't dare to do it openly.

He never thought that there would be a demon so bold that he even dared to kill the city lord.

"Do you want to go and have a look?"

Hu Qing came over and asked Wei Fan, now that the city lord was dead, Wei Fan could go out and slay demons and eliminate evil.

Luo Wen said: "It's best not to cause this trouble. I heard that the three chiefs and dozens of elite yamen runners from the inner city were guarding outside the city lord's room last night, but they didn't know when the city lord died.

This monster is so strange and scary, it might be dangerous for Wei Fan to go there.

Now that the city lord is dead, the Demon Suppression Division will soon send experts, so Wei Fan doesn't need to get involved in this mess!"

Hu Qing shook her head: "If you want to go into the Demon Suppression Division, you'd better go and take a look. Even if you can't find the demon, you have to pretend to go.

Moreover, my father said that the most terrifying thing about these fleshless monsters is their concealment. It will be fine as long as we don't let the other party get hold of us.

Besides, we are just going to take a look, not to confront the monsters right away."

Then let’s go for a trip!

Wei Fan stood up. He was protected by the supreme true qi and sword power, so he was not afraid of this fleshless monster.

What Hu Qing said also made sense. If you want to enter the Demon Suppression Division, you can't just give up at this time, even if it's just for show.

He has a control panel, so if he finds that the demon is beyond his ability to deal with, he doesn't have to take any action at all.

…

The news of the city lord's death spread throughout the inner city early in the morning. When Wei Fan and Hu Qing arrived here, the inner city government office had already been surrounded by people.

"The city lord is dead, what should we do?"

"Let's wait for the people from the Demon Suppression Division to arrive!"

"It is said that the head constable Wei Fan of the East District has the ability to subdue this demon. The city lord promoted him to the position of captain and asked him to subdue this demon, but he refused."

Since the people living in the inner city were either rich or noble, the yamen runners who were gathered in front of the yamen did not dare to drive them away. Even when these people were discussing the death of the city lord, no one stood up to stop them.

When the city lord was here, he had the final say in Yuncheng. Now that he is dead, no one will respect him anymore.

"Who is this Wei Fan? He dared to disobey the city lord's orders. Now that the city lord is dead, isn't he afraid of being held accountable?"

Wei Fan is quite famous nowadays, but not everyone knows him.

"He is afraid of nothing. Wei Fan is a man of real ability, not one of those flatterers who got to the top. He has killed the Tiger Gang, the Tiger King's family, the Lu family, and Wong Tai Sin. Who has the guts to settle accounts with him?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Please make way, we want to go in!"

Just as these people were discussing, two yamen runners, a man and a woman, pushed through the crowd and entered the inner city yamen.

"That person is Wei Fan. The city lord is dead, what is he doing here?"

The besieging crowd fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked at Wei Fan's disappearing back in confusion. You didn't come to slay demons when the city lord was alive, and now that the city lord is finished, what's the point of you coming?

"What are you doing here?"

Song Jinsong was also looking at Wei Fan who appeared in front of him in confusion. It was he who first proposed the idea of ​​asking the city lord to invite Wei Fan to slay demons and eliminate evil.

But he never expected that Wei Fan would rather be dismissed than care about the life or death of the city lord because he hated the city lord for his inaction over the years.

Wei Fan glanced around and saw a corpse covered with white cloth in the middle of the courtyard. Several women in mourning clothes were crying and burning paper there, saying things like "Master, you died so tragically" and "Master, why did you just abandon us like this?"

Wei Fan showed a sad expression: "Let me see if I can find the monster and avenge the city lord."

Song Jinsong's mouth twitched. Didn't I know that you said yesterday that you wanted to come and see how the city lord was eaten by the monster?

Revenge for the city lord? You came here to see if the city lord died miserably.

"You just came here after the city lord was murdered? It's too late. Come, arrest Wei Fan. This official suspects that he is in league with the demons."

Wei Qingyuan was also here. When he saw Wei Fan appear, he shouted and ordered someone to arrest Wei Fan.

He was afraid. Wei Fan was too bold. He didn't care about the city lord's life or death. It would not be surprising if he came to his mansion with a knife and killed him one day.

However, although he was a clerk, his power was only in the East District, and he could not mobilize the yamen runners in the inner city. No one came forward, but looked at the head of the city, Song Jinsong.

Wei Fan turned around and looked at Wei Qingyuan: "Be careful with your words. Now that even the city lord is dead, it is normal for the demon to kill another bar clerk."

The naked threat made Wei Qingyuan look ugly.

Song Jinsong stepped forward to smooth things over: "Please don't argue, the whole city is in a panic, and it's more important to find the demon. Captain Wei, please let me know if there's anything I can help you with."

Following this step, Wei Qingyuan stopped talking. Warriors like Song Jinsong obviously had a better impression of Wei Fan. Now that the city lord was dead, he would be the only one who would suffer if he continued to fight with Wei Fan.

Wei Fan no longer paid attention to Wei Qingyuan. Now that the city lord was dead, the clerk was just a joke.

When the new city lord comes, let alone continuing to be a bailiff, it would be a good thing that the previous affairs are not settled.

"Then I'll trouble Captain Song to gather all the people who were here last night. I'll see if we can find the demon."
