Beauty Steals the Country [End Times]
Chapter 38 Arresting Gao Can
Mu Xishan had an idea in his mind, and looked up to see Lu Baozheng winking with Zhu Yuan's mother, looking down, and the children were giggling and joking.He retracted his gaze and clenched the stone in his hand.
The magic element stone is a magic ore, which must be used in conjunction with the magic text. From the list obtained, it can be seen that the suspects are divided into half from the trade union superpowers and people from the Yunnan-Guizhou base. Assigning jobs through union matchmaking is like saying:
There is an alliance between the labor union and the Yunnan-Guizhou base.
The trade union studies runes, and the Yunnan-Guizhou base studies ores. The combination of the two may be the earliest opportunity to promote the technique of "alchemy".
When his thoughts stayed at this moment, the holy book produced magical fluctuations, but Mu Xishan didn't rush to check it out, because it reminded him of "Mu Xishan"'s marriage partner.Thinking of Jiang Qi, he immediately recalled his chest tightness and irritability, and thought of his words of "making the best use of everything", Mu Xishan's wandering eyes fixed on Ma Qi.
When Gao Shen and Su Yun are together, they will first prepare the proof of Su Yun's husband's death, and then submit it to the relevant office of the Panlong base, waiting for approval, stamping, and notarization by the deed master, so that on the third day his When the death deadline is reached, succession is a matter of course.
But Mu Xishan did not intend to stop the marriage contract between the two, but was happy to hear it.
Because he didn't have any evidence that the senior officer murdered the previous two city lords, he presumably couldn't be punished.Although he can disintegrate the conspiracy immediately after he shows up, he has the "right" to deal with Gao Can, but he has no "reason" to deal with it. Accusing Pan Yi is not enough to remove the cancer in the dark. In the name of "betrayal of the base", a death penalty is imposed. In this era, husband and wife are guilty of the same crime, and the city owner's autonomous base has the right to increase or reduce the sentence. At this time, Su Yun can be used as a bargaining chip to force Gao Shen to provide the list of internal thieves.
The only thing to do now is to find the mine, and the good guys can get the stolen goods.
Both Jiang Feng's people and Feng An's people have too big goals, which will arouse the vigilance of the high-ranking officers. Once they startle the snake, they will find nothing when they go to the empty building. Thinking, Mu Xishan called Lu Bao aside and said: "Gao Shen asked Pan Yi to cover up a group of hidden people in the name of purchasing guard materials in the palace, so I need some unobtrusive spies."
Mu Xishan thinks of Ma Qi, he is less wary when he is young, and acts boldly. If it is not for safety, he is the best candidate.Mu Xishan subconsciously went to look for Ma Qi, but saw that there were only five children fighting in the yard. At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind him:
"What are you going to find?!"
Mu Xishan turned his head suddenly and saw the black and thin Ma Qi standing behind them, staring at the two of them. Lu Bao went up and slapped Ma Qi's ass, patted his chest and said, "Is it to scare people by speaking suddenly? You boy No matter how you walk, there is no sound!" Lu Bao pushed Ma Qi, "Go, play with them, don't interrupt the children when adults talk!"
"Don't think that we can't understand your words when we were young. Those of us who grew up in the slums are much better off than you!" March refused to leave, looking straight at Mu Xishan, and asked: "Just now Brother Bao said you are the secretary of City Lord Jiang, right?"
"Speak straight."
After Mu Xishan finished speaking, Ma Qi started to babble, grabbed the hem of his clothes with his fingers, glanced at the stone in Mu Xishan's hand, and opened his mouth after a long time, "Well, that, although I don't quite understand what you are talking about , but I know what you are looking for to hide, if I can help you find it, then can you promise me one thing."
Lu Bao was so angry that he slapped Ma Qi's ass again, "Kids, what are you doing blindly? What can you do with your meat!"
"Who said I'm useless!" March argued with his neck stuck, and then lowered his voice, and said in a low voice: "I, I actually... can talk to mutant mice."
Lu Bao opened his mouth wide in surprise. Seeing Lu Bao's expression, Mu Xishan felt puzzled in his heart, "If you can really communicate with mutant mice, as a rare language ability user, you only need to go to the trade union and you will be able to get rid of poverty completely. It shouldn't be like this now. And you have been hiding your ability before, and this time you rashly told me this 'stranger' person, what do you want me to promise you?"
"I don't want to go to the trade union just because I don't want to be branded with the same logo as those scumbags. I help you find what you are looking for because I want you to help me prevent Gao Can from becoming the city lord!"
Hearing Gao Can's name, Mu Xishan was even more puzzled: "Su Yun is willing to give you a small class to teach, it should be because he likes you. With the importance Gao Can attaches to Su Yun, he will definitely not drive you away after he succeeds. The city lord should have no interest in you?"
Ma Qi's face darkened, and resentment flashed in his eyes, "On the night Pan Yi came back to spread the news about the death of the city lord, I let the mutant mouse follow him. I just wanted to hear what happened, but I didn't expect to hear Pan Yi explain to Gao Shen After the process of framing the city lord, it is guaranteed that the city lord will definitely die." March clenched his teeth, "It doesn't matter who you find to be the city lord, as long as it's not him!"
There was a moment of silence on Mu Xishan's face, and then he asked slowly: "...I heard that your relationship with your city lord is not good, and Mrs. Su Yun, whom you like, will not just sit back and watch Gao Shen have an accident."
There was a moment of hesitation on Ma Qi's face, and finally he said firmly: "I like Su Yun more, and I don't want her to be sad for Gao Shen. I also hate that devil city lord. I didn't say bad things about him before. He was cold and cruel. He is mean and loves to bully and oppress us. Although he has many shortcomings, I always remember who brought us into the mansion and provided us with our current life. I can't just watch the person who killed him take his place... ...If I don't repay it now, I will remember the kindness I owe him until I die."
Lu Bao was moved by Ma Qi's words, "tears filled his eyes", and Mu Xishan lowered his eyes, agitated in his heart. He didn't take the education of the young saints seriously before. Although he recognized their identities, he couldn't find the corresponding character from them. Now it seems that not only are the children prejudiced against him, but he also does not understand these children.
Mu Xishan squatted down, put the magic stone in Ma Qi's hand, and said to Ma Qi from an equal perspective:
"As long as you can find the place where they dug this stone without alarming them, Gao Can will never become the city lord!"
Ma Qi clenched the stone tightly and looked at Mu Xishan fiercely, "You have to keep your word, if you break your promise, I won't let you go!"
When Mu Xishan bid farewell to Ma Qi and returned to Su Yun's yard with Lu Bao, Gao Shen had already begun to agree on the wedding date.That night, the "shadow of the companion" of the holy book was still lingering in Mu Xishan's mind, he didn't have the heart to read it again, and fell asleep directly. On the second day of the "Death Delay", Su Yun and Gao Can confirmed that they went to Panlong Base to confirm their marriage relationship. The people from Muxi Mountain also traveled all day and exchanged information in the evening.
In Jiang Qi's name, Lu Bao, Feng An, Jiang Feng, and Mu Xishan are all in the reception room.
Jiang Qi sat on the main seat, watching several people discuss with Shen eyes, and did not interrupt easily. Lu and Feng had a good impression of Jiang Qi, but Mu Xishan tried to ignore his existence as much as possible, and ensured to pass the meeting calmly .
After Lu Bao conveyed that March hadn't found the location yet, Feng An said, "We can't hear the sound of the machine at all at the base, and we can't find out how Pan Yi transported the supplies. The excavation location may be deep or far away. Jiang Junzong sent people to inspect the movement in the city today, and I used the reason of training soldiers to search outside the city, but found nothing.”
Jiang Feng said: "Now some suspects have been identified. If the location of the ore cannot be found tomorrow, you can only take the role of the city lord, first take back the position of the city lord, and then find a reason to slowly pull out the nail."
From the corner of Mu Xishan's eyes, he saw Jiang Qi's mouth slightly curved, which meant something bad. Thinking of the sarcasm he had received, his mind quickly spun, and he came up with a slightly more comprehensive solution:
"If you find it tomorrow, everything will be solved. If you haven't found it yet, go to the residence of the dwarves, let the hidden supernatural beings return to the base, and accuse Pan Yi of murdering 'me', making my whereabouts unknown, although there is no direct evidence to convict , but it will cause an uproar in the city. At this time, the news that someone saw Pan Yi often plotting with the high-ranking officer will be released, which will cause the residents to rebound. Although the opinions of the people are not enough to interfere with the replacement of the upper class, they have a reason to delay the time."
Mu Xishan faced Jiang Qi, looked directly into those blue eyes, and remembered that this person said he would help him through the door, and continued:
"As long as someone with more power comes forward and points out that there are doubts about Gao Can's succession, which needs to be investigated clearly, and Gao Can is busy annihilating evidence to push people to blame, there must be omissions in his busy schedule, which will help us find loopholes, and then we will be accused of treason , put them all in prison."
"Yes." Jiang Qi did not forget the promise to Mu Xishan, and also remembered that Mu Xishan asked him to do the stupid thing of talking to the air, his blue eyes darkened slightly.Jiang Feng saw the two staring at each other, remembered Jiang Qi's misunderstanding, his eyes moved slightly, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
After the meeting ended, several people left one after another, Feng An and Lu Bao went first, Mu Xishan came down, Jiang Feng followed behind him, and Jiang Qi walked last.After going out, Jiang Feng saw Jiang Qi go around him and walked to the side of Muxi Mountain. The distance between the two of them was so close that Jiang Feng's heart tightened, and he heard Jiang Qi say in Muxishan's ear:
"Mu Xishan... You'd better be my partner, otherwise, just because you repeatedly tease a person with more power than you, you will suffer the consequences of a fool!"
Mu Xishan didn't even shift his gaze, and turned to the guest room on the left without looking back. Jiang Feng was going to send Mu Xishan back to the room, but at this moment he turned his feet and followed Jiang Qi.
When the two entered the room, Jiang Feng said in a helpless tone: "Brother, you haven't even met each other before, how can you judge a stranger as your partner based on the city lord's innocuous joke."
"'No harm to the world'..." Jiang Qi repeated the word... It is true that there is no brotherhood when there is a sweetheart.Seeming to feel the mood of ordinary people marrying their daughters, Jiang Qi felt a little melancholy.
Jiang Qi walked to the mirror, untied the bandage on the top of his head, and looked at Jiang Feng in the mirror, "Many things... What we explore may not be the result, but just find a reason for the action."
Jiang Feng didn't understand the ambiguous words, and when he saw his brother's injury, he put down his dissuasion, and when Jiang Qi recovered his memory, the truth would naturally come to light.Walking forward, seeing that the wound on the bandaged place had scabbed over, he asked concerned, "Did you see Dr. Mu today?"
Jiang Qi nodded, and said meaningfully, "...the congestion has dissipated."
At this time in another guest room, Mu Xishan came back to the room, Jiang Qi's words lingered in his ears, Mu Xishan raised his voice to ask someone to bring in water, the liquid flowed over his face to let the restless emotions flow away.When Mu Xishan took off his clothes, he saw the holy book, recalled the fluctuations in the morning, struggled for a long time and finally decided to open it.
The refreshed content on the new page is: "Six: Alchemy"
〖The forces opposite to the monarch gradually unearthed the secrets of alchemy, but they were seen through by the envoys, who secretly assisted the monarch and took the lead in bringing alchemy to the public. 〗
Let him assist Jiang Qi again!
Mu Xishan closed the book with a cold face, and dissatisfaction gradually arose in his heart. He was a real person, why did he insist on listening to the opinions of a book, and used it as a stepping stone for others.The only person who can make him submit loyally is Simon, other than that, he doesn't intend to recognize anyone as master.Since the content of the holy book is always against his original intention, why can't he refuse?
"What if I'm not going to listen to you?"
As soon as the words fell, a light suddenly appeared from the holy book, wrapping Mu Xishan's head, making him feel a strong tingling pain, as if countless needles had penetrated into his brain. If he was not good at enduring the pain, Mu Xishan would have yelled come out.When the white light faded, he was already covered with cold sweat. He reached out to pick up the holy book and was about to throw it away, but saw a passage crawling out of the page again:
〖Feedback thought is inconsistent with this book, confirmed thought is firm, in view of your non-cooperation, the information will not be refreshed until you change your mind. 〗
Mu Xishan wiped the sweat off his forehead, thinking that he would be enforced, but he did not expect the performance of the Holy Book to be unexpected... It seems that the Holy Book will not oppress him for the sake of history, and the strong light should only be to detect his idea.
Mu Xishan was relieved, thinking that there would be no new information in the future, and he didn't feel sorry. He burned the three pages that had been displayed on a candle, and came up with something that surprised him:
Who's Who in Empire
The light passes through the paper and shines on the ground. This time the characters are a little different. As in the past, the fonts are all equally spaced. This time, some of the characters displayed are very long, some are very short, and the large black space , as if the font hadn't been burned out yet.
Mu Xishan burned on the candle again for a while, but there was still no new font displayed between the too long intervals. He finally gave up and began to read the words that had appeared. He was stunned for a moment, these were all people he had seen before.
First came Lu Bao who was known as the "Speaker", followed by Feng An, the "Royal Taiping Dog", and Jiang Feng's name, but the names of other high-level officials did not appear. The last three names made Mu Xishan feel incredible.
【Gao Can, the title of "Master of Empire Architect".Achievements: Established residences for multiple magical races, and managed the earliest teleportation array project. 】
[Su Yun, titled "Master of Education".Achievements: The administrator of the empire's first Mowu academy, he has served the country all his life and cultivated countless talents. 】
[Pan Yi, titled "Royal Hound".Achievements: A keen sense of smell, a digger of 1072 kinds of magic materials, an excellent adventurer. 】
These three people... Mu Xishan closed the book and had new ideas about tomorrow's plan.
On the third day of "Death Delay", at dawn, Jiang Feng knocked on the door of Mu Xishan's room.
Mu Xishan got out of bed with a piece of clothing on, walked over and opened the door and asked, "What's going on?"
When Jiang Feng saw Mu Xishan, who was disheveled, his facial muscles instantly stiffened. He turned his back and said softly, "Let's talk about it after you get dressed..."
Mu Xishan also thought of Jiang Feng's little thoughts, closed the door again, tidied up in front of the mirror, and then invited Jiang Feng in.
Jiang Feng said: "The mining site has been found!"
Mu Xishan was startled, "Where is it?"
"The mutated mouse found a tunnel in the water pipe in the courtyard where Feifei Sun lived. There was a vein deep in the bottom, which spread from inside the base to outside the base. Because the pipe was dug by Feifei herself when she was dissatisfied with the city's limited water supply when she settled in the base. So we didn't suspect it, and then they were evicted, the yard was deserted, and no one thought anyone had been living underground for that long."
Mu Xishan looked up at his watch, there was still an hour and a half before the morning meeting, "Have you done it yet?"
"Not yet." Jiang Feng said, "Feng An, Lu Bao and I have already discussed briefly. Since City Lord Jiang is in the S base, he was invited to preside over the overall situation. You can follow. Gao Shen will continue until noon after the morning meeting." The death time limit' will not leave the meeting room before taking over the position of the city lord. And the hidden supernatural beings will also enter the city at this time, causing riots. Feng An and I will leave with the reason of dealing with the riots. Feng An controls Pan Yi, and we Take people to the underground, and Lu Bao is responsible for preventing anyone who receives the news from coming in to inform Gao Shen."
Mu Xishan nodded, "I will reveal my identity at the right time."
Mu Xishan finished his breakfast and followed Jiang Qi to the S building. Gao Shen greeted him downstairs in a good mood and expressed his gratitude.When passing through the long corridor, many candles were placed on the walls on both sides, illuminating the passage extremely brightly, which was completely different from the dark and oppressive situation when he first entered the building.
Jiang Qi took the seat of Mu Xishan in the past. As the secretary, Mu Xishan could only stand behind Jiang Qi.
Before the meeting started, Jiang Qi looked down at the pair of black gloves on Mu Xishan's hands, and whispered in a strange tone: "The gloves are good, even your skinny hands look a bit more elegant."
Gao Can's eyelids twitched on the opposite side of Mu Xishan, and he looked at Mu Xishan's hand.
Mu Xishan curled the corner of his mouth coldly, and said in a "respectful" tone: "You are right, seeing the plump, white and tender hands of the secretary of the city lord of base S makes me feel ashamed. After all, I am the number one in the north. The secretary of the leader of the base, it seems that the secretary of a small place has not had a good life, in order not to embarrass you, I had to cover it up."
Mu Xishan's confession made Gao Can look away again, thinking that maybe the long-awaited thing was finally about to come true, and his anxiety made him tense.
The process of the meeting passed the replacement of the city lord very smoothly, and only the waiting time limit was left. Everyone was sitting in the meeting room, but their eyes were all on the watch, the pointer was ticking, and the time became extremely slow. Gao Shen was startled and stood up from his seat, only to realize his gaffe. He calmed down and sat down again. He watched the soldier walk up to Feng An and said something, and then Feng An whispered to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng stood up and told everyone: "Just now there was a dispute between the supernatural beings who were about to join the base and the soldiers at the gate of the city. The city guards are dealing with things. I want to leave for a while."
Feng An and Yan Su, who were involved in power, stood up and wanted to follow. Jiang Feng hesitated and said, "I don't know how long it will take to come back. Today is such an important matter, and everyone can't leave. Yan Su, you stay, me and Just take a look at Feng An."
Gao Shen felt Jiang Feng's "considerateness" and had no doubt about him.
Time passed by, and in the last few minutes before the time limit was reached, Feng An came back first, followed by Jiang Feng.The sound of the second hand turning was captured by his keen hearing, and the conference room became more and more quiet. Gao Shen began to feel nervous, his palms and forehead began to sweat, and the things he had done and the people he had killed appeared in front of his eyes. Seeing that his hands were blackened little by little, the guilt in his heart caused him to be strangled by invisible hands, and he began to have difficulty breathing.
At this time, the set time ding-dong sounded, and Gao Shen let out a breath as if he had just returned from a catastrophe, sweating profusely, remembering Su Yun who was waiting for him in the backyard of the city lord's mansion... Gao Shen slowly smiled, waiting for Jiang Qi announce the result.
Under everyone's attention, Jiang Qi slowly opened his lips: "The time has come, now I announce that the next city lord of base S is—" Gao Shen's expression became more and more cheerful, and others looked at Gao Shen with kindness on their faces, ready to When preparing to congratulate, I heard Jiang Qi spit out a name that caught everyone off guard:
"Mount Muxi!"
"Why is it still him?" Gao Shen excitedly stood up from his seat, "Did you say something wrong?"
Mu Xishan, who had been silent all this time, walked out from behind Jiang Qi, his eyes indicating action, and the few people in the meeting who didn't know anything were watching the accidents happen before them.
Feng An stepped forward to hold down Gao Shen, and Jiang Feng went to open the door of the conference room. A group of people who didn't know when to wait outside the door rushed into the conference room and filled the small room. The supernatural beings who were in danger together.
Gui Chengmei whispered in disbelief: "What's going on?"
Mu Xishan raised his hand, Lu Bao stepped forward and took off Mu Xishan's gloves with his own hands, revealing the "s" logo of the city lord, everyone was dumbfounded, Jiang Jundu even fell from his seat in shock, and the swimming ring on his stomach shrank in fright Back home, ignoring the pain, pointing to Mu Xishan's strange and good-looking face, he said incoherently, "You, you, you are—"
Mu Xishan raised his hand, looked at the ashen-faced Gao Shen, and said:
"As the city owner of Base S, I announce that Gao Can colluded with others to betray the base, Pan Yi planned to murder the city owner and the team's supernatural beings, Su Yun and Gao Can's husband and wife are guilty of the same crime, and they will be put in prison immediately pending trial!"
The magic element stone is a magic ore, which must be used in conjunction with the magic text. From the list obtained, it can be seen that the suspects are divided into half from the trade union superpowers and people from the Yunnan-Guizhou base. Assigning jobs through union matchmaking is like saying:
There is an alliance between the labor union and the Yunnan-Guizhou base.
The trade union studies runes, and the Yunnan-Guizhou base studies ores. The combination of the two may be the earliest opportunity to promote the technique of "alchemy".

But Mu Xishan did not intend to stop the marriage contract between the two, but was happy to hear it.
Because he didn't have any evidence that the senior officer murdered the previous two city lords, he presumably couldn't be punished.Although he can disintegrate the conspiracy immediately after he shows up, he has the "right" to deal with Gao Can, but he has no "reason" to deal with it.

At this time, Su Yun can be used as a bargaining chip to force Gao Shen to provide the list of internal thieves.

Lu Bao was so angry that he slapped Ma Qi's ass again, "Kids, what are you doing blindly? What can you do with your meat!"
"Who said I'm useless!" March argued with his neck stuck, and then lowered his voice, and said in a low voice: "I, I actually... can talk to mutant mice."
Lu Bao opened his mouth wide in surprise. Seeing Lu Bao's expression, Mu Xishan felt puzzled in his heart, "If you can really communicate with mutant mice, as a rare language ability user, you only need to go to the trade union and you will be able to get rid of poverty completely.

I can't just watch the person who killed him take his place... ...If I don't repay it now, I will remember the kindness I owe him until I die."
Lu Bao was moved by Ma Qi's words, "tears filled his eyes", and Mu Xishan lowered his eyes, agitated in his heart. He didn't take the education of the young saints seriously before. Although he recognized their identities, he couldn't find the corresponding character from them. Now it seems that not only are the children prejudiced against him, but he also does not understand these children.

"Yes."

Mu Xishan didn't even shift his gaze, and turned to the guest room on the left without looking back. Jiang Feng was going to send Mu Xishan back to the room, but at this moment he turned his feet and followed Jiang Qi.
When the two entered the room, Jiang Feng said in a helpless tone: "Brother, you haven't even met each other before, how can you judge a stranger as your partner based on the city lord's innocuous joke."
"'No harm to the world'..." Jiang Qi repeated the word... It is true that there is no brotherhood when there is a sweetheart.Seeming to feel the mood of ordinary people marrying their daughters, Jiang Qi felt a little melancholy.
Jiang Qi walked to the mirror, untied the bandage on the top of his head, and looked at Jiang Feng in the mirror, "Many things... What we explore may not be the result, but just find a reason for the action."
Jiang Feng didn't understand the ambiguous words, and when he saw his brother's injury, he put down his dissuasion, and when Jiang Qi recovered his memory, the truth would naturally come to light.Walking forward, seeing that the wound on the bandaged place had scabbed over, he asked concerned, "Did you see Dr. Mu today?"
Jiang Qi nodded, and said meaningfully, "...the congestion has dissipated."
At this time in another guest room, Mu Xishan came back to the room, Jiang Qi's words lingered in his ears, Mu Xishan raised his voice to ask someone to bring in water, the liquid flowed over his face to let the restless emotions flow away.When Mu Xishan took off his clothes, he saw the holy book, recalled the fluctuations in the morning, struggled for a long time and finally decided to open it.
The refreshed content on the new page is: "Six: Alchemy"
〖The forces opposite to the monarch gradually unearthed the secrets of alchemy, but they were seen through by the envoys, who secretly assisted the monarch and took the lead in bringing alchemy to the public. 〗
Let him assist Jiang Qi again!
Mu Xishan closed the book with a cold face, and dissatisfaction gradually arose in his heart. He was a real person, why did he insist on listening to the opinions of a book, and used it as a stepping stone for others.The only person who can make him submit loyally is Simon, other than that, he doesn't intend to recognize anyone as master.Since the content of the holy book is always against his original intention, why can't he refuse?
"What if I'm not going to listen to you?"
As soon as the words fell, a light suddenly appeared from the holy book, wrapping Mu Xishan's head, making him feel a strong tingling pain, as if countless needles had penetrated into his brain. If he was not good at enduring the pain, Mu Xishan would have yelled come out.When the white light faded, he was already covered with cold sweat. He reached out to pick up the holy book and was about to throw it away, but saw a passage crawling out of the page again:
〖Feedback thought is inconsistent with this book, confirmed thought is firm, in view of your non-cooperation, the information will not be refreshed until you change your mind. 〗
Mu Xishan wiped the sweat off his forehead, thinking that he would be enforced, but he did not expect the performance of the Holy Book to be unexpected... It seems that the Holy Book will not oppress him for the sake of history, and the strong light should only be to detect his idea.
Mu Xishan was relieved, thinking that there would be no new information in the future, and he didn't feel sorry. He burned the three pages that had been displayed on a candle, and came up with something that surprised him:
Who's Who in Empire
The light passes through the paper and shines on the ground. This time the characters are a little different. As in the past, the fonts are all equally spaced. This time, some of the characters displayed are very long, some are very short, and the large black space , as if the font hadn't been burned out yet.
Mu Xishan burned on the candle again for a while, but there was still no new font displayed between the too long intervals. He finally gave up and began to read the words that had appeared. He was stunned for a moment, these were all people he had seen before.
First came Lu Bao who was known as the "Speaker", followed by Feng An, the "Royal Taiping Dog", and Jiang Feng's name, but the names of other high-level officials did not appear. The last three names made Mu Xishan feel incredible.
【Gao Can, the title of "Master of Empire Architect".Achievements: Established residences for multiple magical races, and managed the earliest teleportation array project. 】
[Su Yun, titled "Master of Education".Achievements: The administrator of the empire's first Mowu academy, he has served the country all his life and cultivated countless talents. 】
[Pan Yi, titled "Royal Hound".Achievements: A keen sense of smell, a digger of 1072 kinds of magic materials, an excellent adventurer. 】
These three people... Mu Xishan closed the book and had new ideas about tomorrow's plan.
On the third day of "Death Delay", at dawn, Jiang Feng knocked on the door of Mu Xishan's room.
Mu Xishan got out of bed with a piece of clothing on, walked over and opened the door and asked, "What's going on?"
When Jiang Feng saw Mu Xishan, who was disheveled, his facial muscles instantly stiffened. He turned his back and said softly, "Let's talk about it after you get dressed..."
Mu Xishan also thought of Jiang Feng's little thoughts, closed the door again, tidied up in front of the mirror, and then invited Jiang Feng in.
Jiang Feng said: "The mining site has been found!"
Mu Xishan was startled, "Where is it?"
"The mutated mouse found a tunnel in the water pipe in the courtyard where Feifei Sun lived. There was a vein deep in the bottom, which spread from inside the base to outside the base. Because the pipe was dug by Feifei herself when she was dissatisfied with the city's limited water supply when she settled in the base. So we didn't suspect it, and then they were evicted, the yard was deserted, and no one thought anyone had been living underground for that long."
Mu Xishan looked up at his watch, there was still an hour and a half before the morning meeting, "Have you done it yet?"
"Not yet." Jiang Feng said, "Feng An, Lu Bao and I have already discussed briefly. Since City Lord Jiang is in the S base, he was invited to preside over the overall situation. You can follow. Gao Shen will continue until noon after the morning meeting." The death time limit' will not leave the meeting room before taking over the position of the city lord. And the hidden supernatural beings will also enter the city at this time, causing riots. Feng An and I will leave with the reason of dealing with the riots. Feng An controls Pan Yi, and we Take people to the underground, and Lu Bao is responsible for preventing anyone who receives the news from coming in to inform Gao Shen."
Mu Xishan nodded, "I will reveal my identity at the right time."
Mu Xishan finished his breakfast and followed Jiang Qi to the S building. Gao Shen greeted him downstairs in a good mood and expressed his gratitude.When passing through the long corridor, many candles were placed on the walls on both sides, illuminating the passage extremely brightly, which was completely different from the dark and oppressive situation when he first entered the building.
Jiang Qi took the seat of Mu Xishan in the past. As the secretary, Mu Xishan could only stand behind Jiang Qi.
Before the meeting started, Jiang Qi looked down at the pair of black gloves on Mu Xishan's hands, and whispered in a strange tone: "The gloves are good, even your skinny hands look a bit more elegant."
Gao Can's eyelids twitched on the opposite side of Mu Xishan, and he looked at Mu Xishan's hand.
Mu Xishan curled the corner of his mouth coldly, and said in a "respectful" tone: "You are right, seeing the plump, white and tender hands of the secretary of the city lord of base S makes me feel ashamed. After all, I am the number one in the north. The secretary of the leader of the base, it seems that the secretary of a small place has not had a good life, in order not to embarrass you, I had to cover it up."
Mu Xishan's confession made Gao Can look away again, thinking that maybe the long-awaited thing was finally about to come true, and his anxiety made him tense.
The process of the meeting passed the replacement of the city lord very smoothly, and only the waiting time limit was left. Everyone was sitting in the meeting room, but their eyes were all on the watch, the pointer was ticking, and the time became extremely slow. Gao Shen was startled and stood up from his seat, only to realize his gaffe. He calmed down and sat down again. He watched the soldier walk up to Feng An and said something, and then Feng An whispered to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng stood up and told everyone: "Just now there was a dispute between the supernatural beings who were about to join the base and the soldiers at the gate of the city. The city guards are dealing with things. I want to leave for a while."
Feng An and Yan Su, who were involved in power, stood up and wanted to follow. Jiang Feng hesitated and said, "I don't know how long it will take to come back. Today is such an important matter, and everyone can't leave. Yan Su, you stay, me and Just take a look at Feng An."
Gao Shen felt Jiang Feng's "considerateness" and had no doubt about him.
Time passed by, and in the last few minutes before the time limit was reached, Feng An came back first, followed by Jiang Feng.The sound of the second hand turning was captured by his keen hearing, and the conference room became more and more quiet. Gao Shen began to feel nervous, his palms and forehead began to sweat, and the things he had done and the people he had killed appeared in front of his eyes. Seeing that his hands were blackened little by little, the guilt in his heart caused him to be strangled by invisible hands, and he began to have difficulty breathing.
At this time, the set time ding-dong sounded, and Gao Shen let out a breath as if he had just returned from a catastrophe, sweating profusely, remembering Su Yun who was waiting for him in the backyard of the city lord's mansion... Gao Shen slowly smiled, waiting for Jiang Qi announce the result.
Under everyone's attention, Jiang Qi slowly opened his lips: "The time has come, now I announce that the next city lord of base S is—" Gao Shen's expression became more and more cheerful, and others looked at Gao Shen with kindness on their faces, ready to When preparing to congratulate, I heard Jiang Qi spit out a name that caught everyone off guard:
"Mount Muxi!"
"Why is it still him?" Gao Shen excitedly stood up from his seat, "Did you say something wrong?"
Mu Xishan, who had been silent all this time, walked out from behind Jiang Qi, his eyes indicating action, and the few people in the meeting who didn't know anything were watching the accidents happen before them.
Feng An stepped forward to hold down Gao Shen, and Jiang Feng went to open the door of the conference room. A group of people who didn't know when to wait outside the door rushed into the conference room and filled the small room. The supernatural beings who were in danger together.
Gui Chengmei whispered in disbelief: "What's going on?"
Mu Xishan raised his hand, Lu Bao stepped forward and took off Mu Xishan's gloves with his own hands, revealing the "s" logo of the city lord, everyone was dumbfounded, Jiang Jundu even fell from his seat in shock, and the swimming ring on his stomach shrank in fright Back home, ignoring the pain, pointing to Mu Xishan's strange and good-looking face, he said incoherently, "You, you, you are—"
Mu Xishan raised his hand, looked at the ashen-faced Gao Shen, and said:
"As the city owner of Base S, I announce that Gao Can colluded with others to betray the base, Pan Yi planned to murder the city owner and the team's supernatural beings, Su Yun and Gao Can's husband and wife are guilty of the same crime, and they will be put in prison immediately pending trial!"
