Chapter 1490: Assassination

The day after Liu Yu and Perease finished talking, Liu Yu summoned the other officials of the territory. This was not a solitary conversation like Perletse, Liu Yu directly threw out the things that he had corrected the group of officials that he had handed in a few days ago. The refinement of internal affairs was not in place, and Liu Yu found many loopholes, the most serious of which was the tax official Tankos.

Liu Yu didn't give face to this tax officer, sneered a few times, and directly used him as a target, and shot him mercilessly with words, making this face-saving tax official red-faced. The others were not less shot, and the administrator Yingtie Leo made fewer mistakes, but as one of the main leaders in the past, in the absence of Sivir or Liu Yu's intentional skipped it, he had to bear indirect responsibility for all the mistakes, and he could be regarded as the second worst person scolded at the meeting.

If it weren't for Liu Yu's strong personal deterrence from the beginning, and the two powerful combat forces of the garrison and the city lord's guard in his hands, how could these powerful people who were used to running rampant in Freljord dare not speak out?! It's just that when Liu Yu vigorously wanted to hold them accountable and let them fill in those loopholes, they still showed embarrassment. After the meeting, I don't know how many people looked at Liu Yu's back and cursed viciously in their hearts.

A stack of parchment was thrown on the table in anger, and Mrs. Elison, the wife of the tax collector of Freljord, was startled by her husband's distorted face at the moment, and hurriedly asked, "Honey, is there something wrong?" ”

Tax officer Tankos sat on the chair angrily, his face was red with anger, looking at his wife, he gritted his teeth, and said with no anger: "That little devil who has not grown all hair dares to embarrass me in front of everyone!" ”

"Imp? Which imp? Mrs. Elison did not know where her husband's anger came from.

"Which? Hmph, it's that pagan kid who doesn't know anything, does he think he's great if he's the lord of the city? I've been here in Freljord for decades, even Railo Leo has to give me face, how dare he do that?! The more Tankos thought about it, the more angry he became, and he felt that the city lord must be targeting him.

"You're talking about the new lord?" Only then did Elison understand who her husband was angry with, the new city lord? Elison has heard a lot of dissatisfaction with this city lord from her husband these days, but she didn't want to be like this today!

"Not him, or which one?" Tankos sneered, his tone with disdain: "Isn't it just an ignorant boy who has won the favor of God? Did he really think he could roam the traditional territory of Freljord, the goddess of the forest, under the protection of the unknown god he worshipped? ”

Hearing this, Elison hesitated a little: "You better slow down first, that kid is also the city lord no matter what he says...... He has only been here for a short time, and he can't be trusted by the common people because of his faith, so he shouldn't be so unwise, right? Could it be that Bleiter Leo guy is secretly making trouble and wants to take advantage of you? When I was having afternoon tea with Orpheus the other day, there was a lot of temptation in her words. Elison tried to calm her husband down.

Tankos listened to Elison's words, frowned, and thought carefully. Speaking of which, he is not a stupid person, but sometimes he is too impulsive, and many times, he relies on his wife's persuasion to calm himself down. After thinking for a while, Tankos said: "For so many years, I and BA Leo know each other, although there are some mistakes, but they are both restrained ......"

"I've investigated, this time it should be the city lord's own actions, British Iron Leo and that little ghost haven't said a few words during this time, you see." As if he remembered something, Tankos picked up the parchment on the side and handed it to his wife: "These are my tax forms for the past few years, I gave these things to that little ghost a few days ago, and this time he threw them back to me, and the red letters on them are his approval." ”

After being a tax officer's wife for many years, Elison also understands her husband's work, and immediately took the stack of parchment, she mainly looked at the red letters on it, and after looking at it for a while, Elison's face changed color, she looked at her husband, and she couldn't tell what the expression on her face was: "He checked all your records?" ”

Tankos nodded: "These are the mistakes he found. ”

Elison said as he looked at it: "Although you call him a little ghost, but if you can sort this thing out, this city lord should also have some ability." ”

Tankos didn't agree with his wife's words: "What's the use of having the ability in this regard?" Today he slapped me in the face in front of so many people, who did he think he was?! Speaking of the back, Tankos's anger that he began to suppress rose again, "I don't know what the sky is thick and the earth is thick!" I also want to find out the whereabouts of all the missing gold coins in the accounts, what is there to check?! Will I give him back the gold coins? ”

Elison knew that her husband was reluctant to give up money, and so was herself, and her heart ached at the thought that those golden treasures were leaving them, and the idea was rejected as soon as it passed in her heart. Elison tentatively asked her husband, "What do you think of this city lord?" ...... between him and Railroad Leo "

"Rail's Leo is much more sleek than him, to be honest, I'd rather Rail's Leo be the lord of the city than this little ghost! I don't even give a little face, it's too frivolous. Tankos shook his head, belittling his city lord.

Suddenly, Elison thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she said to her husband: "Tankos, according to the character of this city lord, it is estimated that he can't tolerate that old guy of British Iron Leo, why don't we push British Iron Leo up and let the two of them fight?" ”

"Is it possible? Railroad Leo is a good man. Tankos didn't agree with the idea.

Elison continued, "But I think that if this development continues, the first target of that city lord's knife will become you. ”

Upon hearing this, Tankos's face showed a solemn expression, "It is indeed very possible. Thinking of that arrogant imp, Tankos felt the anger in his chest burst out. Even if that little ghost didn't do anything to him, it is estimated that he couldn't help but do it to that little ghost.

"Why don't we get in touch with Railo Leo, hasn't he been busy pulling other people under his command lately? I heard that yesterday he made a big deal and gave Sheriff Perlow a hundred gold coins! Elison's eyes lit up as he said the gold coin.

"Hmph, you can think about it, isn't the British Iron Leo related to the king? Let him investigate and see what kind of people are behind that little ghost...... However, according to my estimates, even if he had a backer, he should not be a great man, otherwise he would not have used the poor country of Freljord as a fief...... Do you want to talk about his personal strength?

Hahaha, madam, think about it with some thought, at that little ghost's age, how could he really be a saint-level warrior? If he was really talented, how could he be knighted here? You still have to stay in the royal capital to cultivate with all your might?! Actually, it wasn't just me, after that dinner, many wise people saw that the little imp was a descendant, he was a heretic who relied on the favor of unknown gods to do mischief!

It is likely that the adults of the royal capital sent him here because he was a pagan 'divine servant'! After all, although we are a little poor, we are the closest to the Elven Forest in the Kingdom of Demacia, where the forest goddess is located. In the sphere of influence of the forest goddess, even the gods of light and darkness dare not act rashly, so as long as we arrange it properly, we can definitely take back power......

Perhaps, the adults of the royal capital also hope to use our hands to eradicate that infidel! Take 10,000 steps back, if you really attract the displeasure of the unknown gods because of this, you can just push Peres out when the time comes, this guy is useless, and the entire security team is wasting gold......"

The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, and the inside of their eyes was the same coldness. There was no real lord for the first fifty years of Freljord, and there will be no real lord for the next fifty years.

####################################################

Railroad Leo is happy now because Tankos has just come to look for him. He now has a little more power at his disposal, and he believes that the odds of success in his current affair are very high. It won't be long before he can truly master Freljord!

His wife Orpheus stood in front of him, seeing him so happy, but Orpheus didn't smile, "It's better to be careful, he is the lord of the city after all." This is the second time Orpheus has reminded Railan Leo.

A smile was on Leo's chubby face, and he nodded, the fat on his body shaking. However, despite this, he did not take Orpheus's words to heart. "Now we're going to think about who's going to do it." British Iron Leo narrowed his eyes, his face was already full of flesh, and his eyes seemed small, and when he narrowed his eyes like this, he felt that his eyes had become a slit.

"Thieves' Guild!" Orpheus raised her hand and stroked the hair that had fallen from her ears behind her ears: "They're professionals!" Although it may cost a lot for a person with the status of a city lord, I think it's better to succeed at one time, and it doesn't matter if you spend a little more money, as long as it doesn't go wrong. She said it lightly, and there was a sense of familiarity in her tone.

Yingtie Leo nodded, and wanted to agree, but after thinking about it carefully, he was still a little uneasy: "Find some killer groups with small organizations but strong strength, there are too many people in the Thieves Guild, and I'm worried about leaks." ”

Orpheus chuckled: "Since the Thieves Guild has existed for so many years, it naturally has its reasons, although that city lord is a 'god servant', but the Thieves Guild has produced a 'god killer', and it can completely eat him." Speaking of leaks...... Any organization has the potential to leak secrets, as long as we clean up and choose a scapegoat! ”

The Thieves' Guild is a large organization in the Varojan Continent, and it is one of the oldest organizations in the Continent, along with the two major cults of gods, the Mercenary Guild and the Wizards' Guild, and has long been engaged in some shady missions, such as stealing and assassinating. Although he has been hit many times, he is still stubbornly surviving. The reputation of the Thieves' Guild is actually not good, and sometimes they have to bow their heads, but for general tasks, they are absolutely secret, so many people still trust them.

"Since you say so, let's choose the Thieves' Guild! I remember that their agent here is Cole, and I'll send someone to find him tomorrow, although anyone with a brain can guess who is going to kill the city lord, but it's not good for us to come forward after all. Railo said thoughtfully.

"I'll send someone, I'm familiar with this." Orpheus said with a smile, a slightly bloody smile on her still charming face, it seemed that this noble lady was not as kind as she usually appeared.

"Then I'll have to get the gold coins ready." Railroad Leo touched his pocket and said, "Although it may cost a lot of money, but money can buy peace of mind and power, then it is worth it." Railo pulled out his handkerchief and wiped his face, "I still want to see the old Freljord." ”

"Hehe, maybe it will be different, this matter is successful, but you can really master Freljord......"

A cold wind blew in the middle of the night.

"I really want to see a future like that." Rail-Leo looked up and smiled at his wife. Then he felt something strange, and his wife's smile froze. What's going on? Railroad Leo felt a little uneasy. "Orpheus?" Railo called his wife's name, put away the handkerchief in his hand, and moved his fat body, trying to get closer to his wife and see what was going on with his wife's strange appearance.

The wind blew the curtains of the bedroom, and the British Iron Leo seemed to smell a hint of fishy sweetness, and his eyes saw a black light flash. The wind was cold at night. Railo shuddered and fell to the ground, as did his wife Orpheus, black blood streaming from a barely visible wound on their bodies. In a small decorative flower pot on the table in the bedroom room, a mosquito flew out and silently melted into the night.

On this night, the wind was a little cold.

In a small building very close to the City Lord's Mansion, a white-haired man in ninja costume looked into the distance, which was Liu Yu's City Lord's Mansion. With a creak, the door suddenly opened, and a black mist poured into the room. "Uchiha-sama, mission accomplished, target dead." A voice streamed into the room with the darkness of the night.

The white-haired ninja heard the voice, but he didn't look back, only said, "Good work, Kakashi! ”

The black fog slowly dissipated, and a black figure appeared in the corner of the room, "For the sake of the master, I will not give up." The Shadow said, his voice soft and as easy as his man to melt into the night.

The white-haired ninja smiled with satisfaction and said in a deep voice, "We, 'Naruto', must become the sharpest dagger hidden by our master, so as to live up to the master's hard work to create us!" ”
