Murong Qiu brought his men to the scene again and began to search for clues in the ashes bit by bit.

"Report to the Lord of the City, a waist tag was found here." A soldier picked up a waist tag on the edge of the ashes.

Murong Qiu took it and saw that it was a token with "Qilin Gang" written on it.

"Contact someone from the Zhao family and ask him to come over quickly." Murong Qiu was delighted. This token showed that someone from the Qilin Gang had been here before, and it might have been done by the Qilin Gang.

Zhao Wei arrived at the scene soon, and Murong Qiu greeted him.

"Mr. Zhao, we found the Qilin Gang's waistband in the ashes. Please take a look."

"City Lord Murong is interested, thank you very much." Zhao Wei took the badge and looked at it carefully.

"City Lord Murong, what do you think of this waist card?"

"I have done special research on these gangs in Jianghu, and it is true that this medal is a token of the Qilin Gang. The tokens of the Qilin Gang are divided into gold, silver and copper colors. This medal is copper-colored, and the bronze medal is worn by people at the bottom of the Qilin Gang. A

How can a strong person in the God Refining Realm wear a bronze medal? Besides, how can they easily lose their tokens?"

"What does City Lord Murong mean?"

"Based on judgment and speculation, this assassination should not be the work of the Qilin Gang. Someone must be blaming the Qilin Gang, but they are very familiar with the Qilin Gang. They can dispatch more than six masters of the God Refining Realm in one go, and they have a close relationship with the Qilin Gang.

A good enemy, is it not difficult for Mr. Zhao to guess?"

"At the same time, after they committed the murder, they did not throw all the bodies into the fire and burn them. They deliberately left them outside. Some of them even dragged them out of the house. According to the testimony of witnesses at the scene, the clothes of these people were deliberately concealing something.

It is enough to show that they are suspected of setting up the blame." After Murong Qiu finished his analysis, he stopped talking and waited for Zhao Wei to make his own conclusion.

"City Lord Murong's analysis is very accurate, and these have given us a correct guide. Such cruel methods are not like the Qilin Gang's methods, but more like the Yinshan Sect's style." Lu Qianlong said from the side.

"Murong City Lord, your analysis has opened my eyes. This matter can only end here. Only by catching the murderer can the truth be revealed. Thank you for your cooperation this time. Although the incident occurred within your jurisdiction,

You have no way to defend yourself against the enemy's deliberate killing, and we don't blame you. The Zhao family will remember everything you did today, and the Zhao family will definitely do their best if they need help in the future." Zhao Wei handed over his hand in thanks.

"Mr. Zhao, you're welcome. This is my duty. I'm already ashamed if I can't catch the murderer myself. How can I be embarrassed to take credit?" Murong Qiu waved his hands repeatedly.

"That's the end of the matter. Our Zhao family still needs to renovate the drug store and continue to open it in Wangyue City. I'd like to ask City Lord Murong to look after him more in the future. Please." Zhao Wei cupped his hands and clasped his fists again. He had a very serious attitude toward Murong Qiu.

Well, this is a city lord worthy of respect.

"I will try my best if I can do it. I will entertain Mr. Zhao and his party at the mansion tonight. I wonder if Mr. Zhao can honor them?"

"Murong City Master, we have too many people here, so let's go and make trouble with Senior Lu in the evening, and the rest of us won't have to." Zhao Wei couldn't refuse anymore, he also wanted to make Murong Qiu a friend.

"Okay, then I will wait for Mr. Zhao in the mansion." Murong Qiu was overjoyed.

"This person is not bad. If we get to know each other well, he should be qualified to be a friend of the Zhao family. If a man in his forties can become the city lord, and his cultivation is still a fourth-level master of the God Refining Realm, he will definitely grow up in the future."

Lu Qianlong told Zhao Wei on the way back to the inn, and Zhao Wei nodded repeatedly.

In the evening, Zhao Wei brought Lu Qianlong to the city lord's mansion on time. After being polite, they all sat down and started drinking. During the dinner, they had a great conversation. Murong Qiu was thoughtful, spoke extraordinary, and was upright.

, Zhao Wei’s evaluation of Murong Qiu is getting higher and higher.

"Murong City Master, our Zhao family recognizes you as our friend. After I go back, I will definitely tell the eldest princess everything about this place. I think the eldest princess will also be grateful for everything Murong City Master has done. The Flame City City Lord is Uncle Xu, and he and the Zhao family

You know the relationship even if I don’t tell you. I want to invite Lord Murong to the Flame City as a guest, and at the same time, we can form a friendly city with the Flame City. I wonder what Murong Cheng’s plan is?”

"Okay, this is really great. I can be convenient at any time. My father has been the city lord of Wangyue City for thirty years. I have only been here for two years and have not traveled much with the outside world. It is my big wish to go to Flame City to study.

Thank you Mr. Zhao for this." Murong Qiu was very happy, this was an unexpected gain.

"Since Murong City Lord is willing to go, we will go back in three days, and then Murong City Lord can go with us."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Zhao. I will follow you to Flame City after I arrange it."

They drank until midnight before breaking up. Zhao Wei and Lu Qianlong both drank a lot.

After sending Zhao Wei and Lu Qianlong away, Murong Qiu stood in the yard and looked up at the sky, with emotions in his heart. He was very happy to make good friends with the Zhao family. The Zhao family's status in the imperial capital is now transcendent. He had carefully studied the Zhao family, and the Zhao family.

Fei is the soul of the Zhao family, but he has never received any rewards from the emperor, but he is an uncrowned king.

Although his father has been the city lord for thirty years, the Murong family has no foundation in the imperial capital. The reason why he has been the city lord for thirty years is because he can work hard and manage Wangyue City well. His father is relatively conservative, and now he takes over as the city lord.

It was also because of the emperor's affirmation of his father that he gave the Murong family a gift.

This time is an opportunity. If he has a relationship with the Zhao family and does not want the Zhao family to support him, at least some of his ideas can be realized. He wants to develop Wangyue City in a drastic way, and some of his political opinions need someone to support him. The eldest princess is one of the best.

A strong supporter, if you can get her support, you can go ahead and do it.

What Murong Qiu thought about was not his promotion, nor glory and wealth. He wanted to have more power so that he could better benefit the people of Wangyue City.

Murong Qiu is a far-sighted and wise man. He knows that his opportunity has come, and he must seize it firmly and never miss such a good opportunity.

It was this opportunity that enabled Murong Qiu to gain a place in the Murong family in the imperial capital. Later, Murong Qiu also became an important minister of the Canglang Empire.

Zhao Wei stayed in Wangyue City for another three days, arranging the place properly, and leaving people to rebuild the medicine shop. All the families of the deceased received generous pensions, and the Zhao family promised to support the parents of the deceased until their death.

At the same time, Zhao Wei asked Murong Qiu to recommend talents to participate in the management of the drug store. The reason why he asked him to recommend talents was because Zhao Wei was showing goodwill to Murong Qiu and establishing a good relationship with Murong Qiu.

After everything was arranged, Zhao Wei and others set off back to Flame City, and Murong Qiu followed them.

When he came to Flame City and saw how prosperous Flame City was, Murong Qiu was deeply moved. Not only did he see the prosperity of Flame City, but he also saw the gap between Wangyue City and Flame City.

Xu Baichuan warmly received Murong Qiu and entertained him warmly. Even Lin Guozhong came to accompany him in person, which moved Murong Qiu deeply.

One can imagine the enthusiasm of the Zhao family. For three days in the Flame City, Murong Qiu received a high-level reception, which he never expected.

Then Zhao Wei led him to Qinghuang Town. The development of Qinghuang Town completely shocked Murong Qiu. He had been listening to the legends of Qinghuang Town, and now seeing it with his own eyes made Murong Qiu sigh with emotion. He deeply regretted it.

I didn't come here earlier to take a look, but this time I came here and it was an eye-opener.

when

When he came to Qinghuang Academy, he had no words to describe his mood. Everything here had completely subverted his imagination, and Murong Qiu was numb.

Zhao Yang, Zhao Kun and others took turns inviting Murong Qiu to dinner. Everyone in the Zhao family was very friendly to Murong Qiu, which moved Murong Qiu deeply.

"Murong City Master, you have been in Qinghuang Town for three days. Sister Xuejiao wants to meet you in the afternoon and have a casual chat with you." Zhao Wei said to Murong Qiu with a smile.

"I am very excited to be received by the eldest princess."

"Murong City Master, there is no need to say this. The Zhao family treats friends equally. We all get along with each other equally. Come on, I will take you to see Sister Xuejiao." Zhao Wei led Murong Qiu to the Zhao family's residence. Lin Xuejiao

Already waiting for their arrival in the living room.

"My subordinate, Murong Qiu, pays his respects to the eldest princess." Seeing Lin Xuejiao, Murong Qiu knelt on the ground and gave her a big salute.

"Murong City Lord, please forgive me for being one of our own." Zhao Wei helped Murong Qiu and arranged to sit down, and the servant brought the best tea.

"Murong City Master, Zhao Wei told me something. Thank you for your support and help to the Zhao family. We will keep this friendship in our hearts."

"This is my subordinate's responsibility and what I should do." Murong Qiu did not dare to ask for favors.

"When you go back, go to Flame City again and communicate with Uncle Xu again so that Flame City and Wangyue City can become friendly cities and help each other develop."

"On behalf of all the people of Wangyue City, I would like to thank the eldest princess for her kindness. My subordinates will definitely take this opportunity to develop Wangyue City to repay the eldest princess." Murong Qiu knelt down to thank the princess again.

"I'll get angry if you make such a big gesture again. Come on, let's just talk normally." Lin Xuejiao was actually not used to others kneeling down to her. Before and after Li Sanchang, here came Murong Qiu.

"Murong City Master, this is the first time we meet, and we don't have anything to give to each other. There are some cultivation resources here, maybe you can use them." Lin Xuejiao took out a few gift boxes, and Zhao Wei brought them to Murong Qiu.

"Murong City Lord, please open it and take a look." Zhao Wei said with a smile.

After Murong Qiu took it, he was shocked when he opened it.

Lin Xuejiao's attack was really impressive, with twenty divine realm pills, fifty earth realm pills, twenty Qi-replenishing pills, and twenty healing pills.

"Elder Princess, this gift is too expensive. I have never seen such an expensive gift in my life. I really don't dare to accept it." Murong Qiu stood up quickly and bowed to salute.

"Since it's for you, just accept it. How can I take back the gift I gave you?" Lin Xuejiao said with a smile.

"Murong City Lord, just take it as a gift, don't give it up." Zhao Wei said with a smile.

"Thank you to the eldest princess for your kindness. From now on, Murong Qiu will do the hard work of dogs and horses, but the eldest princess will follow the horse's lead." Murong Qiu expressed his gratitude.

"Murong City does not have to be polite. Since Murong City is to support Murong City, today I am a good person to do it. After you go back, you choose 1,000 outstanding young people to send it to Qinghuang College.

The city is effective, how about this? "

"Thanks to Princess Princess for their support and help. Murong Qiu thanked the princess for the long princess." Murong Qiu did not expect that this time he came to harvest so much, everything was like dreaming. In addition to gratitude or gratitude in his heart, at this time he was completely by Zhao

The family is convinced.

"In the evening, I asked Zhao Wei to ban me on behalf of me, and I would not accompany it. As long as it is something that is beneficial to the people of Wangyue City, you can let it go. You can come to me at any time.
