Chapter 552 Get rid of suspicion
The madam with heavy makeup walked Xun Kang out all the way with a smile on her face:
"Master Xun comes here often."
This silly young man from the City Lord's Mansion is the rich owner of the city. If you serve well, you will be rewarded with generous amounts of silver.
"Haha, I'll come back tomorrow, remember to keep the two courtesans for me."
Xun Kang held his waist with one hand, and his yellow face looked a little pale. He didn't know how many rounds he had fought last night.
"Master Xun likes it, so I'll keep it all for you."
When the madam heard this, the smile on her face became even wider.
Xun Kang turned back and spoke while walking forward. Suddenly he felt that he had hit a wall and took a few steps back.
After reacting, he looked up and saw several people standing in front of him, and they immediately cursed:
"You guys don't have eyes... General Xiao and General Lin are the younger ones who don't have eyes."
When he saw the person in front of him clearly, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. If the only person in Guangling City that he couldn't afford to offend was probably the two men in front of him.
From the corner of his eye, he saw several armored men standing behind Lin Xiaofan, all of them tall and burly, with murderous looks on their faces. He was a little confused. In his impression, there seemed to be no such number of people in the city.
Thinking about it, he asked:
"General Xiao, who are these?"
"My personal guard."
Xiao Tiansheng looked indifferent, staring at Xun Kang with his hawk-like eyes, which made the latter a little frightened. Finally, he took a step back with a flattering smile on his face:
"General Xiao, I was blind just now and accidentally bumped into you. I hope you will not remember the villain's fault and spare me this time."
He had never provoked the general in front of him. The only reason why he was angry was because he had bumped into him just now.
However, no matter how much he apologized or humbled himself, Xiao Tiansheng's expression did not change at all:
"Xun Kang, come with me."
Seeing this, Xun Kang scratched his head in fear. It was just a bump. It was not intentional. The general couldn't be so cautious.
However, when he saw Xiao Tiansheng leaving quickly, he hurriedly followed him.
After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, we arrived at the outer city, and there were many fewer buildings around. Xun Kang had just finished the battle, and Xiao Tiansheng and others were walking fast. Now he was out of breath and could only keep up with Xiao Tiansheng as soon as possible.
"General Xiao, it was really a misunderstanding just now. I didn't mean to bump into you. I bought this bracelet a few days ago for more than ten gold. With a little sincerity, please keep it and spare me this time."
Xun Kang kept begging for mercy, but Xiao Tiansheng never stopped.
"General Xiao, I just married a concubine a few days ago. I am only sixteen years old this year..."
Suddenly, everyone in front of them stopped.
Xun Kang breathed a sigh of relief. If he continued, everyone else would be destroyed. Sure enough, it is best for women. Thinking about it, Xiao Tiansheng is only in his twenties this year, which is when he is in his prime.
"If General Xiao likes it, I will send him to you now."
Xiao Tiansheng looked at Xun Kang with a black line on his face, waved his hand, and several personal guards came around behind Xun Kang, surrounding him and separating Xun Kang from his guards.
Seeing this formation, Xun Kang's face turned pale. Wasn't it just a bump? Wasn't it?
After all, I am also the young city lord, so why don’t I give him this little face?
Could it be that it's not enough?
Thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said:
"General Xiao, I have more than a dozen concubines. You can choose which one you like."
Lin Xiaofan suppressed a smile and looked at Xiao Tiansheng. The latter's face darkened, he took a deep breath and said angrily:
"Xun Kang, why don't you tell the truth?"
This sound was mixed with internal force, which immediately frightened the people of Xunkang into stupidity.
Explain what? What did you do?
"This... General Xiao, what should I tell you?"
"You want me to tell you? You collaborated with the enemy before the war, intending to hand over Guangling. Do you think I don't know? If I hadn't been working carefully in the Sirius Army, your plan would have succeeded."
With that said, Xiao Tiansheng suddenly threw a piece of jade silk in front of Xun Kang.
"Tell me all your accomplices honestly, and I can make your death easier. Otherwise, I'll kill you in Lingchi!"
After hearing this, Xun Qie's face turned pale and he picked up the jade silk and looked at it:
"Guangling Xunqi cooperated with the enemy. During the war, he opened the city gate and cooperated with the Tianlang army inside and outside."
Although he was a bit dandy, he was forced to study for several years when he was young. Although he likes to be lazy, he is still literate.
After reading this, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed:
"General Xiao, it's unfair, it's unfair! I don't know anything. I'm just a playboy. I have done a lot of bad things in my daily life, but I have never collaborated with the enemy!"
"Now I eat and drink well every day. I go to brothels when I have nothing to do, bully the people in the city, and play with my concubine. What a wonderful life it is. Why would I risk my life to collaborate with the enemy? Besides, look at me like this Son, I don’t have that ability.”
"You don't have that ability, which means you have the intention to collaborate with the enemy, but you just can't do it? Besides, this letter came from General Xiao's cronies, how can it be fake?"
Lin Xiaofan asked from the side.
This letter was naturally made up by a few of them, and their purpose was just to deceive Xun Kang. Judging from Xun Kang's cowardly appearance, he must not have done it carefully. His questioning was just out of spite in his heart.
Hearing this, Xun Kang was speechless, but his mind was spinning extremely fast:
"No, that's not what I meant. Why am I so collaborating with the enemy? General Lin, I hope you will see clearly. This is slander. This letter must be a conspiracy by the Sirius army. He wants to frame me and use it to mobilize us. General Lin, General Xiao, please don’t believe it.”
Just when Xiao Tiansheng was about to explain, Xun Kang continued:
"By the way, I know, I know who is collaborating with the enemy. Hai Dabao from the City Guards. I see that he is usually sneaky, so it must be him!"
"Who is Hai Dabao? Recruit him truthfully!"
Lin Xiaofan said hurriedly.
"Hai Dabao is a centurion in the Second Division of the City Guards. He has a good relationship with me. One day when I came home from a brothel at night, I happened to catch him talking to someone furtively."
"This can't be said to be a collaborator with the enemy, right?"
Lin Xiaofan said. Although it is rare to talk to others on the street at night, you can still encounter it if you wander around the city.
"At that time, he carefully looked around and saw me coming. The man lowered his head and covered his face with his cloak. Hai Dabao turned his head and saw me, and was so frightened that he almost jumped. But I didn't think much of it at the time."
"He often sighed, asked me to borrow money several times, and his whereabouts were very suspicious. And once during dinner, he even asked me if I wanted to go further. I had never thought about that before, so I didn't become suspicious. Now that I think about it, he probably has rebellious intentions!"
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan and Xiao Tiansheng looked at each other. Xun Kang's appearance is definitely not a meticulous work. This Hai Dabao is very likely.
