C1265 Night Visit to the City Lord's Mansion
Zhang Fann glanced at the two of them, then put them aside. He turned around and walked towards the City Lord Mansion. The City Lord Mansion was brightly lit. Therefore, Zhang Fann tried his best to hide his body in the dark.
Although the City Lord Mansion was brightly lit, there were still people patrolling. However, Zhang Fann could easily dodge by relying on his movement technique and terrain. He activated the Eye of Purple Void and began observing the City Lord Mansion.
Zhang Fann found that the City Lord Mansion was really huge, and there was basically no one in the front yard. There were only a few experts guarding the courtyard, and even these experts' cultivation levels weren't high. This made Zhang Fann feel very suspicious.
Generally speaking, an important place like the City Lord Mansion would be heavily guarded. Moreover, the guards in the middle yard of the City Lord Mansion actually used Shackles Stage warriors, or even lower.
From this point of view, Zhang Fann felt that this must mean that this place wasn't that important. The backyard of the City Lord Mansion should be heavily guarded, so there must be something wrong with the back door.
When he opened the Eye of Purple Void, Zhang Fann could clearly see that there were experts all around the back door of the City Lord Mansion. Some of them were even peak Mahayana Period guards.
This made Zhang Fann somewhat curious. Why would this place be heavily guarded? What was inside? Why was it so important?
At this time, Zhang Fann carefully came to the backyard of City Lord Mansion. Along the way, Zhang Fann's figure was like a ghost. He moved erratically and finally arrived near the backyard.
It was late at night after all, and very few people could enter the City Lord Mansion freely. Although this place was heavily guarded, it wasn't so heavily guarded. In their point of view, this was the City Lord Mansion, and no one would dare to act recklessly.
Zhang Fann also took advantage of their mentality and carefully slipped in, in order to avoid trouble. He tried his best to keep it a secret.
When he came to this place, Zhang Fann always felt that something was not right. He remembered that when he came here, the people on the way said that they had lost a lot of children in this city. The kind that suddenly disappeared without a trace.
However, under the circumstances of the river, everyone pointed their spearheads at those people outside the city, or at the Evil Cultivator.
However, from Zhang Fann's investigation today, he discovered that there were many gunny sacks in the backyard of City Lord Mansion. Among these gunny sacks were some children, and there were even some carriages parked beside them.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Fann immediately understood. When Mu Xue disappeared, Zhang Fann had suspected her. If someone really attacked him, he would definitely resist and attract the attention of everyone. What kind of method did these people use to deceive others?
Now, it seemed like Zhang Fann had discovered... These carriages were the best cover as they knocked out these children. He put them in a sack and put them in the carriage. This way, no one would suspect their identity. They only felt that the things in the carriage must be some goods that had nothing to do with the child. Furthermore, these carriages were from the City Lord Mansion. They didn't even have time to hide, so how could they go forward and investigate?
However, Zhang Fann was even more curious. Why did the City Lord Mansion capture so many children? What was the use of children for him to read books?
At this moment, Zhang Fann began to investigate the sacks. Indeed, he discovered Mu Xue's figure. At this moment, Mu Xue was in a comatose state. She must have been knocked out by some kind of drug.
When he thought of this, Zhang Fann frowned. He immediately used the Spiritual Sense to investigate the surroundings and found that there were many experts in the surroundings. If he really took Mu Xue away now, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to escape unscathed. Moreover, trespassing into the City Lord Mansion was a capital offense, and the people in the city wouldn't help him speak. Perhaps all the evil deeds in the City Lord Mansion would be blamed on him. At that time, he would really have no words to defend himself.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Fann felt that he still needed to think about it carefully. He needed to find all kinds of evidence to prove all the crimes in City Lord Mansion. This way, everyone would be able to recognize the true face of the City Lord Mansion.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fann once again glanced at the unconscious Mu Xue in the distance. It seemed like he could only blame this girl for the time being. He would come and save her after he found enough evidence.
He sighed. Zhang Fann turned around and walked towards the direction he came from. In the blink of an eye, he had left City Lord Mansion and disappeared into the night.
Not long after Zhang Fann left, the guards in front of City Lord Mansion changed shifts. When the two people who were about to change shifts realized that these two people were actually sleeping, they could not help but feel a little angry.
"Get up, get up. The two of you are really good. You actually slept on duty? This is the act of leaving your duties without permission. If you report this to the City Lord, the two of you will die for sure."
"The two of you even fell asleep together. I think you have discussed this beforehand. Although it was late at night, the City Lord had also said that he must not be careless before he finishes cultivating the pill. Do you know what the consequences would be if this matter was spread out? "
The two people who were knocked unconscious earlier woke up after a while of shaking. The two of them hurriedly looked around and found that there was no one else except their colleagues who had come to change shifts.
"Someone came here just now. I just felt a pain at the back of my neck and then I fainted. " So, this means that I was knocked out. "
"That's right. I remember that before I fainted, I saw a pair of purple eyes. After that, I didn't know anything."
"That's right, we must have been attacked by someone. " Otherwise, we wouldn't have fallen asleep like this. " Someone must have knocked us out. "
He listened to the two of them. The two guards who came to change shifts didn't believe it at all. They both felt that the two of them had discussed it, and even their excuses had been discussed.
"I think the two of you should stop pretending. Sleeping means sleeping. Don't find so many excuses. Let's forget about this matter today. I can pretend that I didn't see anything, but I definitely won't allow it in the future. " Otherwise, the two of us will be implicated as well. "
"Forget it, forget it. This matter is over. So, there is no need to do this. Everyone is tired. Next time, remember not to sleep. This is meeting the two of us. If the City Lord really comes, the two of you will be finished."1
After saying that, he changed shifts with the two of them and began to work. The two guards who were previously guarding the door had puzzled expressions. They were very puzzled and did not understand what was going on.
"This is really strange. Why are we sleeping? But what I said is true. If I say anything false, the sky will thunder. "
"Yeah, what I said is also true. But why don't they believe our words? " Is it because the things we've encountered are a bit too ridiculous? "
I think so. After all, if we didn't personally experience what we experienced tonight, even if I heard it, I would doubt the authenticity of this matter. "
"Fortunately, it didn't lead to any major mistakes. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to keep our jobs. " Therefore, from this perspective, I think it's better not to mention this matter for now. It can be considered a loss of words. Anyway, there isn't any loss. "
"That's good too. We should try to forget about this matter as much as possible. Also, don't mention it to anyone else. So, let's forget about this matter first. "
