Chapter 602: Finding someone to cause trouble
After finding the clue, Yang Zhi and a few others walked out of the yamen "angrily", scaring the remaining yamen runners so much that they lowered their heads and dared not look directly at him. Then they got on the carriage parked at the door and left away in a swagger.
The theft in the City Lord's Mansion has caused a sensation in the city, and government officials and soldiers are still searching for the suspect from house to house in the city's streets and alleys.
When the people in the city saw the city lord's carriage speeding through the street, they all hid in the corners, gasping in amazement.
"That carriage went by in a flash! This is the first time I've seen the city lord's carriage go so fast in all these years!"
"It's clear the City Lord is truly furious! No wonder, the mansion has been robbed twice! For a thief to steal once is already incredibly bold, but to steal twice is a blatant provocation, like deliberately urinating on the City Lord's head. How could that not be infuriating!"
"Who is that old man? How could he succeed so repeatedly in the City Lord's Mansion, and yet still be elusive in the entire city?"
"He's definitely a master thief! Where do you think he's hiding? How could he be so well hidden? The soldiers have been searching the city for days and haven't found a single trace of him!"
"We didn't see anyone!"
When the officers and soldiers who had been sent out returned to the yamen, they were shocked to find a piece of paper placed on a chair in a corner of the back hall of the yamen, with some barbaric words written crookedly on it - The city lord is here.
Add a downward pointing arrow.
The yamen runner who wanted to report the situation to the city lord looked under the chair and heard a faint humming sound coming from there, "..."
“!!!”
From then on, the Human Kingdom began to become less peaceful. Every now and then, the people would hear some new gossip that would make them drop their jaws.
In December, a dandy second-generation rich man in Moon City trampled on a street vendor and had his head shaved off.
In the first month of the year, the carriage of the son of a powerful official in Yinpan City was arrogantly crashing into the downtown area, and he was hung behind the carriage and dragged for two streets.
In February, the royal family of Jinpan City angrily posted a notice to capture the murderer who put him in a sack. The next day, someone graffitied the blank space on the notice, adding the portraits of an old man with messy hair and a young girl with a whip. Before noon that day, the royal family hurriedly took down the notice themselves, looking pale and dejected.
…
The five-member group made rapid progress, and Yang Zhi was thrilled throughout the whole process.
Never before has the Human Kingdom been so lively around the New Year's Eve. People are talking about it enthusiastically everywhere. They are paying unprecedented attention to the incidents that have emerged in recent months, and they feel very happy while discussing it.
"From Edge Sunset City to Moon City, Silver Plate City, and Golden Plate City... their route has been heading inward. I guess those people are going to the Royal City!"
"I wonder if they will come to our Gumi City and punish the local bullies on our behalf..."
"I hope they come too! Even the princes and nobles don't dare to do anything to them, so they must be of great importance!"
"You're overthinking it. It sounds satisfying to see those people punishing evil along the way, but their goal is the Royal City! Who knows what they're planning to do there? What if they're foreign enemies intent on causing chaos? That would be a disaster for the barbarians! Haven't you heard that those people speak Middle-earth and are from Middle-earth?"
"I think you're overthinking it. So what if they're from the Middle-earth? Have you ever seen a troublemaker act so brazenly and openly? They don't even think about hiding their tracks! This kind of behavior is more like the temperament of a bandit! Isn't there a place called Jianghu in the Middle-earth that has nothing to do with the imperial court? Besides, aren't the people in the royal city smarter and more intelligent than us? If these people really had problems, how could they still be alive and well?"
Gumi City Inn.
Tianbao, Bai Yu and a group of five sat in the lobby, eating calmly and listening to the discussions of the people around them.
Only the old man was restless. His eyes were darting around, and he would shake his shoulders in a show of pride, then look bewildered. "Yang Zhi, what were those last two sentences? They spoke too fast and too long. Grandpa didn't hear clearly."
After hanging out in Human for a few months, several people gradually mastered a foreign language, but their learning abilities varied, and some learned well, some poorly. The old man was the worst.
Yang Zhi translated in a daze. At this rate, he would soon be unable to complete his translation work.
These days of constantly making money were so happy that when I thought about the possibility of losing my job at any time, I felt very reluctant to give up the money that I might not be able to earn.
Good things worth their weight in gold are hard to find in the world.
The five of them sat together, whispering to each other, not ostentatiously but hard not to be conspicuous.
Even though they adapted to local customs and wore barbarian clothing, there were still facial differences between the barbarian people and the people from the Central Plains, and one could tell at a glance that they were not locals.
So before the meal was even finished, more and more people were looking at me, and the noise was getting quieter.
After finishing his meal, the old man smacked his lips, turned his head and looked around, smiling amiably, "Are there any local gentry and bullies in this city? Where do they hang out? Grandpa is in a good mood, report them to me and I'll get rid of them for you!"
The old man's nonsense was not authentic and sounded weird and funny.
But no one around dared to laugh. After the old man finished speaking, those who were not full in the inn continued to eat, while those who were full hunched their shoulders and walked away.
They were just chatting when someone graffitied an old man with messy hair and a girl wielding a whip on the bounty board. What a coincidence, they are both here.
How many people were beating their chests and stamping their feet in their hearts, wondering how they could have been caught like this? In front of so many people, how could ordinary people dare to directly name the bully?
What a shame! Let the bully get away with it!
Unfortunately, the gossip flames burned even more fiercely afterwards.
Judging from the old man's extremely loud tone of voice just now, it must be that group of powerful outlaws who have come here.
I wonder what their purpose is in coming to Human, and what excitement will happen in Gumi City next?
The old man was even more pitiful than these people. His triangular eyes drooped, "They are all cowards... Now I have to find the target myself again!"
"There's a simpler way. We can just go find the biggest boss in the city," Tian Bao said. "After all this commotion over the past few months, the news should have gradually reached the people behind it. It's almost time. Our next stop is the Royal City."
Su Wu clapped his hands, "Just waiting to go to the royal city!"
Little Wheat Ear snorted and sneered, "Let's see how long those people can keep their composure! If they still don't react, I'll personally post our wanted posters in the royal city once we get there! I don't believe the Barbarian King can tolerate others continuing to mess with him!"
"It doesn't matter what King Human does. What we want is for this news to reach Godfather, so he knows we're here. Before we can determine Godfather's location, we shouldn't anger King Human, lest he suffer. So, we can hold off on issuing the wanted order for now." Bai Yu left a piece of silver on the table and stood up leisurely. "Let's go and find someone to cause trouble."
Wheat Ear put his hands on his hips and gritted his teeth, his little face turning ashen with anger.
Bai Yu just wanted to stop her from being put on the wanted list!
