Of course, ordinary people will still be given opportunities.
In his opinion, human life is very important and only comes once, so it must be used with caution.
So, he smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
After saying that, he picked up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, wrote a message, and asked An Yi to send it over quickly.
A quarter of an hour later, the city lord He Yincheng was flipping through books in the study when suddenly there was a slight knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Following his order, a confidant walked in cautiously, presenting a tightly sealed letter with both hands.
He Yincheng took the letter, which had no markings on it. He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled and asked:
"Where did this come from?"
The confidant quickly replied, "Master, this is nailed to the door of your study. I'm afraid I have urgent news."
"Um."
He gently opened the envelope and unfolded the letter. When his eyes fell on the words on it, his face suddenly changed.
There was a note on the letter:
"City Lord, your second daughter may be in danger tonight. The person who wants to harm her may be Mr. Zhang who is beside you.
Their purpose is to use the death of the Second Young Lady to destroy Yue Qianli's reputation."
He Yincheng widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
Mr. Zhang is his most trusted confidant!
Not only does he give him advice and help him solve his problems on weekdays, but just this afternoon, Mr. Zhang also comforted him and showed great care for his second daughter.
How could such a caring person have the intention to murder someone?
This is simply a ridiculous and groundless slander!
He Yincheng was so angry that he was shaking all over. He held the letter paper tightly in his hand, as if he wanted to crush it.
In a rage, he swung his hand and tore the letter into pieces, and the scraps of paper fell to the ground like snowflakes.
"Humph! You're just dreaming of using such despicable means to sow discord between me and Mr. Zhang!"
He Yincheng said angrily.
At this moment, he was filled with only anger and completely disdained this secret letter of unknown origin.
After all, the much-anticipated martial arts conference will be held in about ten days, and he doesn't have the time to suspect his capable subordinates because of such a fabricated thing.
This was probably just a play put on by people who had long had a grudge against him.
What's more, Xue'er is just a little girl.
Even if someone really wants to harm her, she still has her mother and sister to look after her.
I have so many important things to deal with right now, how can I have the energy to be distracted by these trivial matters?
Thinking of this, He Yincheng took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and got back into his busy work.
He didn't really think anyone would go into the backyard and hurt a little girl.
After An Yi went to deliver the letter, Jiang Ling and the others started teaching people how to play mahjong.
It was really cold during the New Year holidays and they didn’t want to go out.
The hot pot and barbecue restaurant will open on the second day of the Chinese New Year.
Shen Yinyun paid three times the usual wages, so the employees had no complaints.
As soon as the restaurant opened on the second day of the Chinese New Year, several tables had already been reserved, all for entertaining guests.
Shen Yinyun wanted to play mahjong, so Xu Wenhe was pushed out to guard the store.
After dinner, the four of them sat down and started playing mahjong.
Although Yue Qianli is the only novice, almost all newbies have a protection period.
So, except for the first few times, I am still learning and looking for patterns.
From then on, he basically cheated all the way and won, making Shen Yinyun scream and cry, unwilling to admit defeat.
Two days later, the blood-sucking vine came to Jiang Ling to report the situation.
Jiang Ling only then learned that the second daughter of the City Lord's Mansion had died in the end.
Because the city lord didn't trust him and didn't care, he was still taken advantage of.
When Jiang Ling told this to a few people, none of them showed any expression.
It was the girl who repeatedly came to them to seek death, but they did not kill her.
As for her current death, it was more due to her father's lack of care.
Forget it, there’s no point in saying more.
Jiang Ling asked again, "Xiaoxue, did the city lord go to see Mr. Zhao? He must believe what was written in the letter now."
The blood-sucking vine shook its body to indicate no.
"Does he seem remorseful or want to seek justice for his daughter?"
The blood-sucking vine shook its body again.
"What a scumbag father, knowing full well who killed his daughter."
"Then are there any people from their family looking for us? After all, we were the ones who beat Helan Xue."
The blood-sucking vine shook its body and nodded.
He used his spiritual sense to say, "That bad human is still adding fuel to the fire, saying that if Yue Qianli hadn't refused to accept the Second Young Lady's love and had beaten her in public, the Second Young Lady wouldn't have committed suicide and passed away so young."
Bloodthirsty Vine suddenly said doubtfully:
"That bad human is so mean. He clearly killed her, but he still said that the second young lady committed suicide."
Jiang Ling nodded and asked again.
"And then? Have the City Lord and his wife been bewitched? Are they going to settle accounts with us, or start spreading rumors?"
The blood-sucking vine nodded and began to twist its body.
Very excited.
Shen Yinyun looked a little worried, wondering if it would break, and asked curiously.
"What happened to Xiaoxue? Be careful not to break your body."
"Haha, how could it be twisted off? It's angry." After saying that, he touched it to comfort it.
"Well, some people are just born bad. They will put all the blame on others and never reflect on themselves."
Shen Yinyun also comforted the blood-sucking vine. He felt that this vine was cuter than many people.
He even knows how to stand up for his owner, so cute.
"Xiaoxue is such a cute vine. Don't be angry. Those bad guys didn't have a good ending in the end."
When the blood-sucking vine heard itself being praised, it began to twist its body excitedly again.
Jiang Ling pondered for a moment. Although he didn't want to kill the city lord immediately, since they wanted to bite back.
Then don't blame him.
He is not a very kind person who can be deceived.
So, he clapped his hands and signaled the blood-sucking vine to stop performing.
He looked at everyone and said seriously.
"Since they are doing this and want to bite back, we can't just sit there and be bullied.
Xiaoxue, go follow Mr. Zhao in a while, and make him disappear in a deserted place. He is the culprit after all.
It's also a way to avenge the dead girl.
Then, you can go to the City Lord's Mansion to check where his warehouse is.
Although I don't intend to take their lives for the time being, I can still make their lives easier.
People with power always think that others are easy to bully.
The lord of a city does not work for the welfare of the people, but spends all day doing unnecessary things.
Then let him lose everything, and when we leave Beili City, we will see if we need to replace him with a city lord who truly serves the people."
After saying that, he looked at the others and asked, "Do you have any objections?"
