The head of urban peach blossom

Chapter 515 The City Lord's Brother-in-law
At the gate of the city, there are quite a lot of people coming and going.

Some carried things into the city, some carried bags and led their children...

When she was in the town, Hua Xiaolou had already brought several sets of clothes and changed into another set, which looked almost the same as the locals.

He entered the city among the crowd.

As soon as I entered, I couldn't help sighing repeatedly.The city was much cleaner and tidy than he had imagined.

Because someone is cleaning the ground all the time.

Moreover, there are still people patrolling the city, orderly.

After walking not far, Hua Xiaolou found a small stall on the side of the road.There are only three small tables in the stall, and a thin old man is making noodles.

That's right, the lives of mortals in the underworld are similar to those in the human world, with rice, flour and meat.

But there is no pork here.

When I was in the town, when talking with a group of people, Hua Xiaolou accidentally learned that pigs are evil creatures in their eyes.

Once found, either run quickly, and those who are capable will rush up and kill them directly!
On the way, Hua Xiaolou also found the pig in the underworld. It was indeed... ugly, with a pair of big fangs protruding from its mouth, which was extremely frightening.

Especially those eyes, which shone with a strange green light, made people shudder, far more terrifying than wild boars in the human world.

This is not to say that these people in the underworld do not eat meat. Most of the meat they eat is some pheasants, hares, small animals, etc. in the mountains, and a small amount of fish and shrimp.

"Master, come for a bowl of noodles!"

"Good Le!"

The old man responded, quickly brought the noodles over, and then asked curiously: "Little brother, your accent should be from afar, right?"

"Yes, I'm from the south..."

Hua Xiaolou made a fool of himself, then tasted the noodles, they were quite good, chewy, and there were a few pieces of rabbit meat inside.

After taking a few mouthfuls, Hua Xiaolou couldn't help but started to chat...

"Master, are there officials in this city?"

"Official?"

The old man froze for a moment, as if he was a little unfamiliar with this term.

Hua Xiaolou smiled helplessly: "I don't think there are people on duty on the city wall and on the street? Whose subordinates are they?"

"Oh, this...they are all subordinates of the city lord. It is precisely because of the presence of the city lord that the people in our city can live in peace and stability..."

"City Lord?"

"Yes, the city owner's surname is Qu... The Qu family has been passed down from generation to generation. They shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the city and are the patron saints in the hearts of the people. If the Qu family hadn't been there, the city would have been destroyed long ago."

Hua Xiaolou wanted to ask again, but at this moment there was a commotion on the street.

"Quick, everyone, go and see, City Lord Qu will personally judge the case."

"Really? Where?"

"It's in the open space next to the City Lord's Mansion..."

"Little brother, don't you go and see?"

Hearing this movement, the old stall owner couldn't help but smiled.

"Then go and see, where is the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Follow those people and you'll be there..." The stall owner pointed to the people running on the street.

"Thank you!"

Hua Xiaolou took out a few copper coins from his body and put them on the table.

The money was given to him by the people in the town.The money used by the people in the underworld is similar to the ancient copper coins, but it is rougher and thicker.

"Hey, little brother, it doesn't take so much..."

"It's okay, you accept it!"

Hua Xiaolou waved his hand, he had joined the flow of people, and ran towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Not long after, Hua Xiaolou saw a magnificent building.The courtyard wall is tall, simple and vicissitudes, it must be the City Lord's Mansion.

On the west side of the City Lord's Mansion, there is an open space, or a square.

There were already many people surrounded, and in the middle, there were four burly men holding a heavily tied man in black.

Even though he was tied up, the man in black was still very arrogant, yelling viciously: "You release me immediately, or you will definitely regret it!"

"Lu Liang, we arrested you under the orders of the city lord. It's not up to us to let you go, but to the city lord."

"You bastards, wait and see..."

Hearing these wild words, the onlookers couldn't help talking about it.

"Do you think the city lord will really punish this guy severely?"

"It's hard to say, Lu Liang is the brother-in-law of City Lord Qu. Although his sister is not the wife of the main house, she is also very favored, and her status is not much lower than the wife of the city owner..."

"It is estimated that the city lord wants to scare this guy, and he will let him go later, after all, it is a family..."

"Not necessarily. The city lord has always been strict. Lu Liang is so insane that he doesn't count taking a wife forcibly, and even killed that woman's husband..."

Hua Xiaolou stood aside, listening to the whispered discussions of the common people, and had roughly understood the whole story.

This Lu Liang grew up in the city, he can be regarded as a little gangster.However, because Qucheng governs the city well, there are very few incidents of bullying the people in the city.

Later, Luliang Xianyu turned around.

Because his sister was favored by the city lord and accepted as the third wife.

Speaking of which, this is also the tradition of the City Lord's Mansion.Every city lord will marry at least a few wives in order to spread the branches and inherit the incense of the city lord's mansion.

And Lu Liang's elder sister, Lu Xiaojuan, is good-looking and can please her husband. In addition, after getting married, she gave birth to a son and a daughter, and she is even more favored by the city lord.

It is the so-called pride of being favored.

Lu Xiaojuan turned over, naturally she would not forget her natal family.

Lu Liang was her only younger brother, and he received special care, so he got a job as a small steward in the City Lord's Mansion.

Now, Lu Liang is proud of himself.

I used to be a little gangster, and seeing patrolling officers was like a mouse seeing a cat.

Now that he has transformed, he has also become a cat. If he has nothing to do, he will lead a few of his subordinates to show off in the street, arrogant.

Some old enemies in the past were either suppressed by him with various excuses, or they were cheeky and came to ask for peace with generous gifts.

With his identity, Lu Liang got a little carried away, often extorting some merchants in the city, and living a life of debauchery.

As a result, there were naturally some complaints, and some people even ran to sue him... Unfortunately, it was useless to sue him again.

This time, he was finally caught, perhaps because the crime was too great, and the city lord finally couldn't stand it anymore.

Yesterday morning, a young couple from outside went shopping in the city, and happened to meet Lu Liang.

That woman was indeed beautiful, even the coarse clothes couldn't hide her plump and enchanting figure, as well as the alluring aura of a new wife.

Seeing this woman, Lu Liang's soul seemed to fly away.

Relying on his identity, this guy ran over with his men and slandered the man for stealing.At the same time, Lu Liang couldn't restrain his agitation, so he started to touch the panicked woman on the spot.

As soon as the man saw this situation, he already understood that this was clearly intentional by Lu Liang and the others, who wanted to hit his sweet wife, how could he agree?
So he cursed loudly and resisted desperately!
During the beating, Lu Liang was impulsive and beat the man to death...
