Dark Fairy

Chapter 343 Unexpected expansion
"here."

Ma Liu opened his eyes and saw the light of candlelight around him. It was a stone house, a square shape with little furniture, and a man in gorgeous robes was sitting not far away and looking at him with a smile.

"Are you awake? I didn't expect the incense in the army to be so powerful. I said I couldn't wake up without an antidote, so I've been sleeping all the way until now, and there's no chance of waking up.

Ma Liu, this is Yongchuan City, Xinjun Village at the south entrance of the city. "

"This is Yongchuan City?"

Ma Liu, who was still dizzy at first, felt as if someone had poured a basin of ice water on his head when he heard the words Yongchuan City. His dizzy head suddenly woke up, and then he was filled with deep fear. Dazed to wake up.

"Haha, I see you are so frightened that your face is pale. It seems that you have guessed why you were suddenly taken back to Yongchuan City." The man paused and introduced himself: "Let me meet you. My name is Li Youjun. From the Imperial Sect Yun Sect.”

Ma Liu felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat.When he heard the words Huangmen Yunzong, he realized that his worries had come true.

"You, why did you do that?" Before he could finish his sentence, Ma Liu felt dizzy and almost fell back on the bed.

"You were taken captive for ten days on the road, and you were fed gruel to survive. Your body is so weak that you should eat something first, and I will prepare it for you." Li Youjun pointed to the bed as he said. On a small table next to it, there was a bowl of porridge, a stack of pickles and two fist-sized steamed buns.

Ma Liu was so nervous that he didn't notice his own hunger, but now that the other party said this, he suddenly felt hungry.So with the idea of ​​"you can't die anyway, you have to eat to your stomach", I propped myself up and moved to the small table next to the bed and started to gobble it up.

"This meal will help your stomach and intestines first. Wait for a few more days before the meat and fish can enter, otherwise your internal organs will have problems."

Li Youjun spoke very kindly with a smile, and he felt better after eating, which also swept away Ma Liuyi's initial despair.

When the food on the small table was finished, although Ma Liu was still unsatisfied, he knew that it was not suitable for him to eat too much.At the same time, most of my spirit has recovered.

"My lord, I just want to survive."

Li Youjun smiled and said: "Your life is worthless. When you were in Yongchuan City, you were just a pimp. No one even looked for you after you ran away. The same is true for you this time when I found someone to kidnap you. The war was chaotic. No one cares that there is an insignificant person missing from their side.

So, worthless things can be destroyed or kept, it depends on how you choose. "

"My lord, you can ask if you have any questions. Ma Liu is now the meat on the chopping board. Whatever you say is what you say."

Ma Liu is very clear about his current situation.There is no other connection at all between him and Huangmen Yunzong, which is the top force in the Hong Dynasty. The only thing that can be called a side is the murder case in Yongchuan City before, and the city lord's mansion behind it. During the re-examination, I heard that it was Yunzong of the imperial family who was adjusting the files.And it just so happens that Ma Liu has fiddled with the accounts.It was also because of this that he was forced to flee from his hometown.In order not to be killed by the cruel Bailang, he dared not gamble with his own life.

Now it seems that after going around in a big circle, it may just be a wasted effort in the end.

"Oh? Aren't you going to help others cover up?"

"My lord, you are joking. There is nothing to hide. I went to a foreign country to survive, and it is the same now. How can a little person like me have so many worries? It is already very difficult to save my life." Ma Liu sighed, He knew that he was not a tough guy, so it would be better for him to cooperate from the beginning rather than suffer all the hardships.Besides, he didn't have any motive to cover up Bailang.

Li Youjun's reaction to Ma Liu was not surprising. He is just a pimp. You can't expect him to be a tough guy, right?
"Very well, it seems that you had to go far away because you were afraid of being killed, right? Don't worry, the Emperor Yunzong always keeps his word. You just need to tell me what I want to know, and If you promise not to make up anything, then I will protect your life and give you a fortune."

"Thank you sir!"

"Okay, let's talk about the round-up of the demons in Yongchuan City before. The girls who were used as bait at that time were all transferred from you. Among them, the sister who was kidnapped by the demons and finally died is here. Your account does not match the account you sent to the eldest wife of the city lord's mansion, Li Yuxiu. You have to think about this matter before you discuss it."

Ma Liu didn't need to think about it, he just opened his mouth and said, "Returning to my lord, there is something wrong with that dead woman. She wasn't my little sister who was originally in my hand, but was stuffed into my hand before the incident happened. In order to cope with the routine inspection afterwards, I made fake accounts at that time, thinking that I could get through."

"Who gave it to you?"

"Bailang of Dongcheng Knife Hall."

"What?! Bailang?! That Bailang who is only in his early twenties?" The smile on Li Youjun's face disappeared instantly, and his brows also furrowed deeply.Because this result was too unexpected for him.And with a rather dramatic sense of absurdity, you must know that when he was in the Yongchuan City Army before, he asked Bailang to accompany him around Yongchuan City, and mentioned Ma Liu in his words.

"Yes, sir, that's Bai Lang. He is the only one with this name in the Dongcheng Knife Hall."

Li Youjun's last sliver of luck disappeared with Ma Liu's answer, and he was now sure that his previous actions had directly exposed his intentions because of a coincidence.Now Bailang must have known that he was checking Ma Liu.

"Tell me about your relationship with Bailang carefully, and at the same time tell me why he sent someone to send you to death."

Ma Liu recalled: "I met Bailang because of a case of evil spirits. The Yamen didn't care about it. They came to see the situation and then reported it to the City Lord's Mansion."

With Ma Liu's memories, Li Youjun slowly felt something strange in his heart.

After Ma Liu finished speaking, Li Youjun concluded: "You mean that you don't know the purpose of the Bailangsai people for you, but you are sure that the Bailangsai people are going for those evil spirits. Right?"

"Yes sir."

Li Youjun has never let go of any subtle expression changes on Ma Liu's face, and he didn't see any clues, and it also fits the relationship between a pimp like Ma Liu and a knife shop killer.

And Li Youjun remembered very clearly that the Yongchuan City Lord's Mansion's campaign against evil spirits could be said to be a success or a failure.

The failure was that the City Lord's Mansion did not catch or kill the baited Yaoxie, allowing the Yaoxie to abduct the woman that Ma Liu said was given to him by Bailang.

It was successful because in the end, the city lord's mansion found the woman's broken body outside the city during the search process, and there were traces of the evil spirit's death.

"It seems that Bailang is also targeting those evil spirits, and the one who killed the evil spirits may be the ghost cultivator. In this way, isn't Bailang directly related to the ghost cultivator?!" All the deduction in the sect are all connected together.It turns out that what he has been lacking all along is this blank space in the deduction, and he never thought that there would be a living person among them who would act as a pawn of a ghost cultivator.

"Bai Lang. This situation is a bit troublesome right now."
