Chapter 830 Investigation

Acting city lord Xie Houqian and officials from Pingliang City came out to greet them. Situ

The acting city lord was a young man with a fair face and no beard, about forty years old. He was extremely flattering in front of Monk Huiguang, which made Ye Feng feel sick.

With a "click" sound, he lowered the window. Ye Feng stopped observing and began to meditate.

The original object of Ye Feng's suspicion was the young man who acted as the mayor of Pingliang City. Firstly, because Duan Qingjiang was taken down, this person's benefits were maximized. Secondly, Xie Houqian's original position was deputy city lord, which was in line with Ye Feng's inferred identity as a spy.

But now, judging from the situation of Xie Houqian's flattery, Ye Feng had a doubt in his heart, thinking that this person should not be a spy of the Demon Sect.

It seems that we have to at least explore the city lord's mansion and get a feel for it.

Finally, when it got dark and it was close to the second watch, the entire Pingliang City had completely quieted down.

There were several guards standing at the door of the City Lord's Mansion, and they were all drowsy at this time. Ye Feng flew quietly into the mansion, heading towards the prison where he had been before.

Duan Qingjiang had said before that there was a team of City Lord's Mansion guards stationed in front of the black prison, and perhaps some clues could be found from it.

I reached the back of the City Lord's Mansion with ease. Because Master Huiguang and other important figures were stationed in the City Lord's Mansion, the number of guards patrolling tonight was obviously too high.

And in this way, it made it easier for Ye Feng to do things.

Because there are more guards out on patrol, there will inevitably be fewer people staying on duty. With Ye Feng's strength at the moment, it is simply impossible for the patrol team to discover him.

After a patrol team had gone away, he quietly jumped over the wall. A guard standing on the sentry post was instantly knocked unconscious by a burst of vitality.

After taking this unfortunate guy to an alley far away from the city lord's palace, Ye Feng just woke him up.

The guy woke up leisurely and saw Ye Feng in front of him looking at him with an evil expression.

Seeing that he woke up, Ye Feng released a little pressure, causing the guard to swallow back the cry for help. The guard's cultivation level was only at the seventh or eighth level of Xiantian. He had never withstood such huge pressure. His figure trembled and he fell to his knees with a plop.

"As long as you answer my questions honestly, you will naturally be able to leave completely. But if there is a lie in it, then don't blame me for being cruel."

Ye Feng deliberately pretended to be fierce.

"Yes... yes, please don't refine my flesh and blood... The villain is of low strength, and he is covered in sores, which are contagious..." The guard struggled to get up, his eyes full of fear.

Obviously he thought Ye Feng was a warrior from the Demon Sect.

fair enough.

Ye Feng pretended to smile ferociously: "I don't refine flesh and blood, I absorb the soul's yin energy!"

When the guard heard this, his already pale face turned even whiter: "I... my thoughts are dirty, my mind is full of male thieves and female prostitutes, and my soul... too..."

In fact, he also knew that his reason was far-fetched, but in order to save his life, he could only make it up.

"There's so much nonsense. If I ask you anything, just answer it honestly. This demon doesn't lack your yin energy. If your answer satisfies me, not only will I not kill you, I will also reward you with spiritual stones." Ye Feng said. , making the guard look calmer.

"You...you asked. As long as I know, I will tell you the truth..." The guard nodded repeatedly.

"What is the name of the president of Pingliang City Demon Hunting Association?" Ye Feng asked.

"My name is... Zhang Taining, but it is said that President Zhang colluded with the devil... um... he is a good friend of yours, and he was caught a few days ago..."

Duan Qingjiang kept the secret strictly. As a small innate-level guard, naturally he didn't know that Zhang Taining and Su Moyan had disappeared.

Ye Feng nodded.

By asking this question deliberately, he was just testing whether the person was honest.

"Aside from the city lord and President Zhang, who else has a larger official position in Pingliang City?"

"And... Su Moyan, the general who protects the city, but he also... Hehe, senior, you should be here to rescue them, right? I am willing to lead the way. Do you know where they are being held?"

The guard showed an expression as if he was suddenly enlightened.

He obviously mistook Ye Feng for an accomplice of the Demon Sect who came to rescue Zhang Taining and Su Moyan.

"Huh? Did I ask you this?" Ye Feng was a little angry. The "Soul-Capturing Needle" stabbed slightly, and pain suddenly flashed in the guard's eyes, and his face became extremely frightened. He lay on the ground and did not dare to say anything more. .

After a pause, Ye Feng continued to ask: "In recent months, have there been any new high-ranking officials joining Pingliang City?"

Many demonic chaos around Pingliang City have only appeared in recent times. From this, it can be inferred that the demon sect has not penetrated into Pingliang for a long time.

Only then did Ye Feng ask this question.

"Several high-level officials of the Demon Hunting Association have recently joined, because it has only been two months since we established the Demon Hunting Association in Beihan..." The guard revealed the secret, which shocked Ye Feng.

"Have you noticed that among the people at the level of deputy city lord, deputy general, and vice president, have any of them been unusual in recent times?" He asked another question very quickly.

"This... villain has a huge disparity in status with the city lord, deputy city lord and others, how could he know this..." The guard was afraid that this answer would dissatisfy Ye Feng, so he complained in advance.

"Think about it carefully!" Ye Feng frowned.

Since the guard is stationed near the city lord's palace, it is not far away from the Demon Hunting Association. Perhaps this guard has not seen anything with his own eyes, but he can definitely know the situation of some important people through his ears and eyes.

"Yes Yes Yes."

"The city lord... likes to go to Chunfeng Deyi Tower to have fun..." the guard replied in fear.

"Chunfengdeyilou?"

"Yes, yes, our captain said that the city lord likes a girl named 'Xiaoyue'. I heard that girl Xiaoyue is pretty and charming. Senior, if you are interested, I can..."

"Snapped……"

Ye Feng slapped him and immediately told him to shut up.

"There is no need to mention the matter of the city lord. Now let me talk about the deputy city lord and vice president." Ye Feng is not here to investigate whether Duan Qingjiang has any special hobbies. This guard really likes to study the leader's gossip like some people in later generations. .

"Vice City Lord...Vice President...this..."

The guard covered his mouth with a sad face and racked his brains, "The deputy city lord has no real skills. It is said that the most powerful thing is his mouth, which usually makes the city lord very happy..."

"As for the vice-president, he has just arrived in Pingliang City not long ago. The villain...the villain really doesn't know what's wrong with him..."

"Um?"

Ye Feng let out a cold snort in dissatisfaction, which frightened the guard into saying something like a reflex:
