Chapter 618 This City Lord Does Not Eat People
Tiankui City is not big, and the news that Su Ying had a big tantrum in the city spread throughout the city in no time.
Those in the city who had thoughts of betrayal were terrified. They did not expect that the city lord would have such cruel means. Long Ba controlled the only brothel in the city. It was impossible for him to have no abilities, but in front of Su Ying, he was still an ant that could be crushed to death at any time.
When Wang Furong heard the news, her face turned pale instantly.
"Furong, come out and eat."
Mengzi's voice scared Wang Furong so much that she almost jumped out of the bed.
"I, I understand. I'll be right there."
Early this morning, Mengzi went to the Security Bureau to inquire about the progress of the case. The deputy director had some friendship with Mengzi and gave him a hint.
"Long Ba is still on the doorplate today. His subordinates admitted that they did have evil intentions towards some women who had just come to the city a few months ago, but that was the only time."
The deputy director looked at Mengzi meaningfully when he said this, "Brother Meng has also been through a lot. It's right to be on guard against outsiders, but sometimes you should also pay attention to the good and bad of the people in the house, so as not to end up getting your family into trouble."
How could Meng Zi not understand what the deputy steward meant? He knew that Su Ying had dealt with Long Ba, and he was afraid that it was related to the incident caused by Meng Jiang.
No matter how cruel Long Ba is, he can only become a coward in front of the city lord. He has already admitted what he did a few months ago. There is no need for him to deny the kidnapping of Wang Furong.
Long Ba couldn't be more afraid of him than the city lord.
If this matter was not acted on the initiative of those people under Long Ba, then it could be that Wang Furong was lying.
Mengzi picked up the bowl and said quietly, "Eat."
Wang Furong glanced at the Mengzi couple carefully, "Dad, did you see your husband when you went to the Security Bureau today?"
Mengzi shook his head, "No."
"Dad, is my husband imprisoned in the Security Bureau or in the prison in the city? I want to go and see him. I am really worried about him." Wang Furong's eyes turned red as she spoke.
Mengzi frowned, "Furong, if the Security Bureau finds out that you were not kidnapped by them, then Jiang'er will be finished."
When Mengzi said this, his eyes were fixed on Wang Furong's face, but unfortunately Wang Furong kept her head down and people couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.
"Dad, can we spend some money to see my husband? I'll go talk to the security department and ask them to punish me. This has nothing to do with my husband. He did it all for me..."
"My son is so unlucky to marry you!" Tian Niu feels uncomfortable when she sees Wang Furong now!
"What's the point of you going to see Jiang'er? The laws of the city are not something you can easily change." Mengzi sighed.
The atmosphere in the main room became even more gloomy with Mengzi's sigh.
During the stalemate, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Tian Niu put down her bowl and chopsticks and walked out angrily, "Who are you? What are you doing here so late at night?"
Tian Niu said this unhappily while her hands had already opened the bolt.
When she saw the person standing outside the door, Tian Niu's face changed, "City Lord? Why is the City Lord here? Look at me, I am so rude, I am here to meet the City Lord."
Tian Niu bowed to Su Ying in a somewhat flustered manner.
Mengzi also stood up from his chair when he heard the noise.
Wang Furong's face turned pale. She covered her stomach and said in pain, "Dad, I suddenly feel a stomachache. I, I'm going to the toilet first."
Mengzi didn't want Wang Furong to be rude in front of Su Ying so he let her go.
As soon as Wang Furong left, Su Ying was welcomed into the main room by Tian Niu.
Su Ying was holding two large oil-paper bags in her hands, and the fragrance was almost overflowing from them.
"City Lord." Mengzi hurried forward and saluted.
Su Ying waved her hand to indicate that they should not care about these empty formalities.
"Uncle Meng, there's no need for me to be so polite. I just picked a meal time to eat. You guys don't mind, do you?"
Tian Niu smiled and said, "Look at what the city lord said. We are so happy that we don't care. This is too unorthodox. I will go and cook two more dishes for the city lord."
Su Ying told her not to bother anymore, "I asked Uncle Murong to make some delicious food when I came here, and Auntie can just go get two basins to serve them."
"You are so polite, Lord. Why are you bringing things when you are here?"
Tian Niu was also a quick-witted person. She immediately went to get two basins of vegetables and put out all the vegetables in the oil paper packages.
Mengzi saw that there were two roasted lamb legs in one oil paper package and two roasted chickens in the other one, which should be enough for the city lord to eat.
Su Ying glanced at the three sets of used bowls and chopsticks on the table and said with a smile, "I heard from Hu Wei that Uncle Meng married his daughter-in-law, how come I don't see her?"
After talking about Wang Furong, the smile on Tian Niu's face faded, "She is very timid, I dare not let her embarrass herself in front of the city lord."
Mengzi took out a bowl of fruit wine and poured it for Su Ying. "The weather is cold, City Lord, drink some. It won't make you drunk, but it can warm your body."
Su Ying saw that the couple deliberately changed the subject and seemed to be not very satisfied with their daughter-in-law.
Su Ying picked up the fruit wine and took a sip, but felt it was not enough, so she pulled out a chicken leg and started eating it.
"City Lord, Jiang'er is a brainless kid. He is stubborn and has no intention of killing or setting fire. Please forgive him for once."
Seeing that Su Ying had almost finished eating and drinking and seemed to be in a good mood, Tian Niu couldn't help but kneel down in front of her and plead for mercy to Meng Jiang.
Mengzi wanted to stop him, but failed in the end.
Su Ying took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands. "I already know about Meng Jiang's matter. I also asked Long Ba in person. He said that he can guarantee with his life that he really did not lay a hand on your daughter-in-law."
The couple's faces turned pale. Longba and his men were almost beaten to the point of being disabled for life. Mengzi would not be so stupid as to think that Su Ying was siding with them.
There is only one possibility, that is, Wang Furong really lied.
"The city lord is wise. I will ask Wang Furong to come over and let the city lord ask her clearly."
Su Ying picked up the remaining fruit wine and drank it all. The alcohol content of the fruit wine was not high, but it would still make one's face a little red if one drank too much.
Under the candlelight, her cheeks were slightly flushed, revealing her seductiveness.
"good."
Tian Niu was gone for nearly a quarter of an hour, even though it wouldn't take that long to walk around the yard.
Wang Furong came. She hunched her shoulders and wished she could bury her face in her chest so that Su Ying couldn't see her.
"My daughter greets the city lord."
Su Ying raised her eyebrows, with a faint smile on her lips, "This city lord does not eat people, there is no need to be so scared."
Su Ying didn't know that her voice was like an ice knife, each of which could pierce Wang Furong's body and make her shudder.
"My little girl, my little girl..."
"Come, raise your head and let this city lord see it."
