Chapter 830 Investigation

Acting city lord Xie Houqian came out to greet him with officials of all sizes from Pingliang City. Si Tu

The acting city lord was a young man with a white face and no beard, about 40 years old. He was extremely flattering in front of Monk Huiguang, which made Ye Feng feel sick.

With a "click", the window was lowered. Ye Feng stopped observing and began to ponder.

Originally, Ye Feng suspected the young man who was acting as the city lord of Pingliang City. First, because Duan Qingjiang was taken down, this person's benefits were maximized. Second, Xie Houqian's original position was deputy city lord, which was consistent with Ye Feng's inference of the identity of the spy.

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

It seems that at least he has to explore the city lord's mansion and find out the bottom.

It was not easy to wait until dark, and when it was close to the second watch, the whole Pingliang City had completely quieted down.

There were several guards standing at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, all of whom were drowsy at this time. Ye Feng flew into the mansion silently and headed towards the direction of the prison he had been to before.

Duan Qingjiang had said 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 them.

He reached the back of the City Lord's Mansion with ease. Because Master Huiguang and other big figures had moved into the City Lord's Mansion, the number of guards patrolling tonight was obviously more.

This made it easier for Ye Feng to act.

Because there were more guards patrolling, the number of people left at the duty station would inevitably be less. With Ye Feng's current strength, it was impossible for the patrol team to find him.

After a patrol team walked away, he jumped over the wall silently, and a guard standing on the sentry post was instantly knocked unconscious by a stream of energy that popped out.

Ye Feng took this unlucky guy to an alley far away from the City Lord's Mansion, and then he woke him up.

The guy woke up slowly, and saw Ye Feng in front of him looking at him with a bad face.

Seeing him wake up, Ye Feng released a little bit of his aura and pressure, which made the guard swallow the sound of calling for help. The guard's cultivation level was only the seventh or eighth level of the innate realm, and he had never endured such a huge pressure. His figure trembled and he fell to the ground with a plop.

"Just answer my questions honestly, and you will naturally leave in one piece. But if there is a lie in it, don't blame me for being cruel."

Ye Feng deliberately pretended to be a ferocious monster.

"Yes... yes, don't refine my flesh and blood... I am weak, and I have sores all over my body, which will be contagious..." The guard struggled to get up with fear in his eyes.

Obviously he thought Ye Feng was a demon sect warrior.

This is good.

Ye Feng pretended to smile grimly: "I don't refine flesh and blood, I absorb souls and Yin Qi!"

The guard's already pale face turned even paler when he heard this: "I... I have dirty thoughts, my mind is full of thieves and prostitutes, and souls... also..."

In fact, he also knew that his reasons were far-fetched, but in order to save his life, he could only make up nonsense.

"So much nonsense, just answer what I ask you honestly? This demon doesn't lack your Yin Qi. If your answer satisfies this demon, not only will I not kill you, but I will also reward you with spirit stones." Ye Feng's words made the guard look a little relieved.

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

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

"It's... Zhang Taining, but it is said that President Zhang colluded with the demon... um... he is your good friend and was arrested a few days ago..."

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

Ye Feng nodded.

He deliberately asked this question just to test whether this person was honest.

"Besides the city lord and President Zhang, who else has a high official position in Pingliang City?"

"Also... Su Moyan, the city's general, but he also... Hehe, senior, you should be here to rescue them, I am willing to lead the way, I know where they are imprisoned?"

The guard showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

He obviously misunderstood and regarded Ye Feng as a demon sect accomplice who came to rescue Zhang Taining and Su Moyan.

"Hmm? Did I ask you this?" Ye Feng was a little annoyed. The "Soul-catching Needle" pierced slightly, and the guard's eyes flashed with pain. His face became extremely terrified, and he lay on the ground and did not dare to speak more on his own initiative.

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

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

Ye Feng asked this question.

"Several high-level members of the Demon Hunting Association have recently joined, because the Demon Hunting Association was established in our Northern Han only in the past two months..." The guard revealed the secret, which shocked Ye Feng.

"Have you noticed that the deputy city lord, deputy general, and vice president have been acting abnormally recently?" He asked another question at a very fast speed.

"This... I am far from the city lord, deputy city lord, etc., so how could I know this..." The guard was afraid that this answer would make Ye Feng dissatisfied, and he would complain 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 our 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:
