14. Truth(1/2)
Yanlong poured his spiritual power into the City Lord's Seal, and a strange feeling came to his heart. It was the City Lord's Seal that recognized its master again!
Yanlong's eyes were filled with fire. From today on, he, Yanlong, is the true lord of Yanzhou City!
"Since you have joined our Tai Temple, you will naturally contribute to our Tai Temple."
Elder Sun Yan's indifferent voice seemed to pour a basin of cold water on Yanlong's head. Sensing the special looks of the four people from Tai Temple, Yanlong's heart trembled, and a bad premonition suddenly arose.
"That's natural. May I ask what Elder Sun's instructions are?"
Sun Yan and the others seemed to have discussed it in advance and glanced at Lu Lin. Lu Lin handed Yanlong a piece of paper and said with a slight smile: "Master Yan, please sign and seal it."
Yanlong took the document and his eyelids jumped when he saw the two big words on the title of the document, and he almost tore up the document.
I saw two big words clearly written on the title - Will
Yanlong's expression turned ugly and he suppressed his anger.
"What does this mean? Yan doesn't quite understand."
MD, in his position as city lord, didn’t even bother to do anything, so he arranged everything after my death?
These idiots from the Taishen Temple actually made arrangements for themselves. They even arranged when they would die!?
Lu Lin sneered, as if he was mocking Yanlong for being illiterate.
"Literally, you are now a member of our Taishen Temple. After your death, the ownership of Yanzhou City will naturally continue to be managed by our Taishen Temple."
That's too much! If I sign today, won't I be killed by these people for any reason in the future?
A flash of anger flashed in Yanlong's eyes, and he raised his head suddenly. He wanted to order the soldiers to arrest a few people now, but before he could say anything, the four of them took a step forward and surrounded Yanlong. The meaning was obvious.
Don't even think about it if you don't sign today!
Lu Shan seemed to see what Yan Long was thinking, and said with a fake smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Yan, we have been friends for such a long time, how can we burn bridges across rivers? You can be your city lord with peace of mind, we are just giving you a
It’s insurance.”
Yanlong knew that his small arms could not twist his thighs, so he could only say with a smile on his face: "I will sign, of course I will sign..."
Under the gaze of Lu Lin and others, Yanlong's mouth twitched slightly and he was forced to sign his will.
I have never been so frustrated in my life!
But being able to become the lord of this city is worth the grievance...
Yanlong was still angry one second, but he had sorted out his mentality the next second.
Several people looked at each other and were quite satisfied with Yanlong's reaction. Since Yanlong was willing to cooperate with the work, they could sit down and drink tea together and chat.
"Sir, Commander Lin is outside asking for a meeting."
The servants in the mansion came to report, and a strange color flashed in Yanlong's eyes.
What is he doing here at this time?
"Bring Commander Lin in, follow him, and don't let him come to my side yet."
After arranging Commander Lin, Yanlong chatted a few words with the people from Tai Temple. Feeling that the time was almost up, he stood up and said with a smile:
"Everyone from Tai Temple, it's getting late. I'll arrange accommodation for you."
He was tense just now but now he is smiling. In terms of thick skin, Yanlong's talent is definitely one of the best in a hundred.
After settling the people in the Tai Temple, Yanlong did not rush to see Commander Lin. He returned to his room and wrote down the appointment of the city lord. After thinking about it for a few times, he felt that it was okay. Yanlong smiled and walked out of the door.

"Where is Commander Lin now?"
After some thought, Yanlong decided to send Commander Lin away first. After all, he had just asked people to send troops in the name of getting rid of thieves two days ago, and he would have to move around more in the future.
"In the master's bedroom." The servant replied respectfully.
"Take me there"
Yanlong frowned and wondered: What is he doing there?
Commander Lin stood quietly in front of the old city lord's bed, standing up straight. If you look closely, you will find tears in his eyes.
I remembered that when I first met the old city lord, I was still a young soldier who was not afraid of tigers. He dared to attack anything.
During that mission, he took the lead and came out on top, but he overshadowed his superiors' authority, which made people secretly jealous. Many people secretly told their superiors that he was too young, impatient, and unfit for use.
With his future about to be suppressed, Commander Lin was unwilling to accept it and went to his superior's camp to make a big fuss. As a result, he was in an even worse situation. He was treated as a source of conversation after dinner. Later, for some reason, he was transferred to the newly arrived army.
In the ears of the visiting old city lord.
"Since you all say that he is young and angry, let him stay with me for two years to hone his skills!"
The old city lord's voice still echoes in Commander Lin's ears. When he returned to the city guard camp from the old city lord, no one dared to gossip about him behind his back, and he became more and more calm beside the old city lord.
Soon he was promoted to the position of commander by virtue of his repeated military exploits.
Without the kindness of the old city lord, there would be no Commander Lin today.
Commander Lin took out a little powder and rubbed it into his palm, then lightly brushed it on the old city lord's arm. When he took it back, his hand was already a little moist.
What was said in the brochure was indeed correct!
Commander Lin secretly thought to himself that he had tried the same method on himself and his wife and children before coming here, but there was no response.
But since entering the old city lord's room, Commander Lin's palms have always felt a little damp. Now after testing it on the old city lord, Commander Lin gradually believed what the brochure said.
Thinking of a series of events that happened recently, although Yanlong kept saying that he wanted to save the old city lord, he had not seen any substantial progress so far.
Commander Lin's heart sank slightly when he thought of this. Rather than Yan Long being the mastermind behind the scenes, Commander Lin hoped that he was being used by some traitor.
"Why are Commander Lin here?"
Yanlong's voice came from behind, and Commander Lin put away his thoughts and sighed softly: "I am concerned about the health of the old city lord, and I really have no intention of staying anywhere else in the mansion."
Yanlong also looked sad, beat his chest and stamped his feet and said:
"It's all because of my incompetence as a son that it took so long for my father to get some clues after he was murdered!"
Commander Lin's eyes lit up, he grabbed Yanlong's shoulders with both hands and asked excitedly.
"Does the eldest master know who did it?"
"The two people who were captured and on the run were invited by Yan Jun..."
Yanlong paused as he spoke, and the expression on his face was as painful as if a piece of flesh had been cut off from his body.
"Although I can't believe it, according to the person we caught, it was Yan Jun who secretly instructed them to first secretly poison the old city lord, and then to prevent the Son of God from the Tai Temple from healing the old city lord!"
"Yan Jun wants to kill the old city lord and inherit his position!"
Commander Lin's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face. Water stains had begun to seep from the place where his palm had just touched Yan Long.
If I hadn't already had it

Be prepared, maybe you really believe Yanlong’s lies now!
After multiple confirmations, Commander Lin has initially determined that Yan Long is the instigator of the entire incident.
It's not enough for this beast to kill his own father, now he wants to frame his younger brother as his scapegoat!
Commander Lin's fists hidden in his sleeves were already clenched, and veins popped out on his forearms. He wished he could blow the head of the beast in front of him with one punch right now!
But he knew that now was not the time to expose Yanlong. He had just seen the Taishen Temple's carriage at the gate of Yan's mansion. If he took the initiative to attack, Yanlong might not be able to do anything about it, but it would be easy for him to get in.
Taking a deep breath, Commander Lin asked angrily: "Where is Yan Jun now!?"
The top priority is to first figure out Yan Jun's location and rescue Yan Jun before making any plans. Only then will his actions be justified.
"Don't worry, Commander Lin, Yan Jun has been placed under house arrest by me. There are government soldiers outside the room. I will deal with him when I find a suitable opportunity!"
Yanlong looked fierce when he said this, and Commander Lin felt sad in his heart. The old city lord loved the people like his son all his life, was fair and just, but he had such a scumbag under his knees!
"Okay! If you need me, Mr. Yan, just ask!"
Yanlong laughed and said: "Then thank you, Commander Lin, for your support. Yan is grateful!"
"It's getting late, so Lin will stop bothering Young Master and go back home first! Young Master Yan doesn't have to go far to see you off."
"good"
Commander Lin bowed his hands and left.
I was full of doubts when I came, and I was worried when I left.
Commander Lin walked away, and Yanlong began to realize that something was wrong.
What on earth is Commander Lin here for? Just to see the old city lord?
Yanlong's intuition told him that he seemed to have missed something. He recalled it for a long time and found nothing, so he simply shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
There is still one small obstacle that remains unresolved...
Yanlong returned to the room, picked up the incense burner, and walked towards Yanjun's room with a cold smile on his face.
Yan Jun has been locked up in his room by Yan Long for two days. At this moment, his expression is not very good, and a terrible suspicion is slowly forming in his heart.
To be continued...
