Chapter 1009 City Lord’s Mansion
The three elders of Tianbi City and others searched the ruined temple several times.
Yan Li and the others had already hidden themselves from the space and left the ruined temple.
After Yan Li and the others left the dilapidated temple, they returned to the inn with confidence.
After returning to the inn, Yan Li booked another room upstairs.
The shopkeeper didn't say much when he saw this. After all, if you have the money and don't make it, you'd be a bastard.
In the ruined temple.
"Third elder, since they are not in the dilapidated temple, they must have returned to the inn long ago. Why don't we go to the inn to look for them? Once we find them, can't we find Ouyang Shao?" Yi Heng looked at the third elder.
"Let's go." Upon hearing this, the third elder led his men directly to the inn where Yan Li and the others were.
The innkeeper was shocked when he saw the third elder and his men rushing in.
At this time, Yan Li and the others had already returned to their rooms to rest.
Under the gaze of the Third Elder, the shopkeeper had no choice but to wake up Yan Li and the others.
Yan Li and the others walked out of the room very calmly and came to the lobby.
"It's you? Is there something wrong?" Yan Li looked at the third elder and Yi Heng, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Have you been to the dilapidated temple in the west of the city today?" Yi Heng looked at Yan Li coldly.
"Do you know that liar?" Yan Li became excited when he heard that.
"Liar?" Yi Heng and the third elder were completely stunned upon hearing this.
"Yes, that liar, he lied to us that there was a treasure hidden in that dilapidated temple and he wanted to sell it to us. As a result, after we paid some gold coins, we followed him to the dilapidated temple..." Yan Li paused here.
"What happens next?" the third elder asked impatiently.
"After that, he disappeared as soon as he arrived at the ruined temple. We couldn't find him and had to come back." Yan Li looked helpless.
"Run away?" The third elder looked suspicious.
"Isn't it? Do you know him? Tell me where he is, I must beat him up to vent my anger." Yan Li's eyes were full of anger.
Seeing this, Ouyang Shao, who was standing by, was very impressed by Yan Li's acting skills.
Yi Heng: ...
It seems that Ouyang Shao was so poor that he had to rely on fraud to make a living.
What's there to guard against against this kind of person?
"It's okay, you can go back to your rooms." The third elder said and led his men away.
"You haven't told me where the liar is?" Yan Li looked at the third elder.
The third elder ignored her and led his men away.
"What kind of people are they? They disturb my sweet dreams for no reason and leave for no reason at all." Yan Li complained as she watched them leave.
"Shopkeeper, do you know where the swindler in the dilapidated temple is?" Yan Li looked at the shopkeeper who was standing aside with a curious look on his face.
"I...how would I know, girl? Listen to my advice. Those gold coins are gone and they are gone. As for the man in the ruined temple, you'd better not ask too much about him." After saying this, the shopkeeper quickly turned around and left.
Yan Li: ...
It seems that the shopkeeper also knows about Ouyang Shao's existence.
After Yan Li and the others returned to their room, they immediately left the inn in stealth.
This time their target is the City Lord's Mansion.
"City Lord Ouyang, is the eldest lady of Tianbi City also the eldest lady of Tianbi Sect?" Yan Li asked curiously.
"Of course not, she is the daughter of the current mayor of Tianbi City." Ouyang Shao shook his head.
"Is that so?" Yan Li understood after hearing this.
"Does Miss Yan have a grudge against that Yao Xin?" Ouyang Shao looked at Nangong Xi.
"So her name is Yao Xin. She wanted to marry my two ancestors, but I ended up killing her." Yan Li said honestly.
"Marry two people? Ruined?" Ouyang Shao's eyes widened when he heard that.
"Isn't it? She is so greedy. She wants both of my ancestors." Yan Li's eyes were full of disdain.
"This is the City Lord's Mansion. It used to be my home." Ouyang Shao sighed, pointing at the City Lord's Mansion in front of him.
I haven't stepped into this house for twenty years.
"Let's go." Ouyang Shao said and walked inside first.
He took Yan Li and the others directly to the main courtyard where he used to live.
"Madam." He couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the beautiful woman sitting in the yard.
He looked very surprised.
The beautiful woman looked towards Yan Li and the others as if she sensed something.
"Madam, what's wrong with you?" asked the maid beside her.
"I seem to hear the city lord's voice." said the beautiful woman.
"Madam, why are you so confused? The city lord has instructed that if you have something to do tonight, you can stay in the study directly." The maid smiled when she heard it.
Ouyang Shao, who was hiding nearby, heard their conversation and began to tremble with anger.
"No..." The beautiful woman hesitated to speak.
How could she say at this time that this city lord is not that city lord?
He must be hallucinating. After all, he had been dead for twenty years.
Thinking of this, the beautiful woman suddenly stood up and walked towards a room.
Ouyang Shao followed after seeing this, and Yan Li and the others followed closely behind out of curiosity.
The beautiful woman came to the door of a room. Ouyang Shao naturally knew that this room was where he and his wife used to live.
The beautiful woman took a deep breath before pushing open the door.
She walked in, and Ouyang Shao, Yan Li and the others followed.
There was only a tablet for Ouyang Shao enshrined inside.
The beautiful woman lit a stick of incense for Ouyang Shao.
"City Lord, we haven't seen each other for twenty years, and tonight I heard you calling me Madam again. I don't know if it was my hallucination. I know I am sorry for you, but for our Chang'er, I have to endure the humiliation.
City Lord, please wait for me. When our Chang'er avenges you and takes control of Chunyang City again, I will come down to accompany you.
I hope you won’t despise me when the time comes. I’ve made myself dirty and embarrassed.” The beautiful woman was already in tears after she finished speaking.
The invisible Ouyang Shao trembled all over when he heard this. This time he was not trembling because of anger, but because of heartache.
Also, he just found out today that he actually has a child.
Although he didn't know whether the Chang'er his wife was talking about was a boy or a girl.
Yan Li and the others were also deeply moved when they saw this scene. They admired the greatness of the City Lord's wife very much.
The city lord's wife stayed in the room for a while, sorted out her emotions, and then turned around and left.
The city lord's wife had just returned to the yard when she unexpectedly saw the current city lord Yao Pin arrive.
"What's wrong with Madam?" Yao Pin noticed that the city lord's wife was in a bad mood as soon as he arrived.
"It's okay, I just haven't seen Chang'er for a long time and I miss him very much." The city lord's wife said in a very cold tone.
"Don't worry, ma'am. Chang'er is fine." Yao Pin's eyes flashed when he heard that.
Yan Li and the others who were hiding nearby knew as soon as they saw Yao Pin was lying.
Ouyang Shao was anxious!
Therefore, after Yao Pin left, Yan Li and the others followed silently.
Sure enough, Yao Pin came to another yard, and his expression changed immediately as he entered.
As soon as Yan Li and the others entered the yard, they smelled a strong smell of blood.
Yao Pin kicked open the door of a room in anger, and the smell of blood came from this room.
Yan Li and the others went in and saw a young man tied up there, covered in blood and in a semi-comatose state.
