Lao Lu kept listening, and the more he listened, the more he felt that this matter was different from the past.

He approached the cannon and asked seriously: "They all followed He Chao before. Is He Chao really okay?"

"He Chao..."

Cannon hesitated for a few seconds and then said:

"Tiezi and I checked yesterday, but there were no problems. Today's interrogation of these people did not mention He Chao. It seems that they are doing this without telling He Chao."

"He Chao must have been kept in the dark too."

"The people that He Chao brought in at the beginning were basically brought from Jie Fang City. The group of people is now divided into two major factions. One faction is led by Xu Zhen and several others. They are more closely related to He Chao and did not appear.

What's the problem?"

"This faction consists of Jia Tan and Zhang Shunzi. After they had a falling out with Xu Zhen's gang, they rarely interacted with each other."

Lao Lu nodded, "So that's it."

If you go by what Da Pao said, there is a high probability that He Chao did not know what Zhang Shunzi and the others were doing, and he should not have been involved in this matter.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Since you have sent the person here, I will continue the interrogation." Cannon looked at the various tools on the work table and selected a sharp scalpel.

"Look up to the sky and help me hang Jia Tan on the cross."

Jia Tan struggled hard, with a look of horror on his face.

He had long heard about the brutal cannon interrogation methods. Looking at Zhang Shunzi and others on the cross, he became nervous and peed.

Dingtian felt disgusted and hung him up and tied him to the cross.

Li Tie and Lao Lu next to them looked at each other, each feeling somewhat confused.

"I'm going to find the city lord, will you go?" Li Tie asked Lao Lu.

"Let's go, that's what I meant."

.......

The second outer city.

In the ultraviolet lamp factory, He Chao is directing the transportation of ultraviolet lamps into the temporary warehouse.

"Director He, the city lord is outside the factory and wants you to go out for a moment." A worker hurried in and stood next to He Chao and said.

"The city lord is looking for me? OK, I'll be there right away."

He Chao put down the speaker and hurriedly ran out of the factory.

He is busy every day without touching the ground, and until now he doesn't know what happened in the First Outer City.

If the city lord comes to him, he must have something important to arrange for him.

After thinking, he walked to the door of the factory and saw the majestic figure of the city lord.

He walked quickly in small steps and walked to Li Yu's side.

"City Lord, are you looking for me?"

Li Yuzheng raised his head and looked at a tree not far away. There was a bird on the tree feeding the young in the nest.

"coming."

"He Chao, you've been quite busy recently, haven't you?"

"It's okay. City Lord, do you have anything to explain?" He Chao asked with his hands clasped in front of him and his head slightly lowered.

"The northern border lacks individuals to manage and direct all affairs. Go ahead and take up the burden there."

"ah?"

He Chao was a little surprised when he heard this. It was too sudden and there was no warning at all.

To be honest, he was not willing to let him go to a place so far north.

After all, if he wanted to go to the north, he definitely couldn't bring his daughter with him, because he knew the situation in the north to some extent, and it was definitely not as safe as the Da Zhangshu Base.

If you take your daughter there, you can indeed see her every day.

But who will teach my daughter to study? You can't just take her to a place where the conditions are worse than those at the headquarters base just because you miss your daughter.

That's not love, that's selfishness.

"The northern border is currently developing an agricultural planting area. Lao Yi and the others can do a good job in fighting, but the internal affairs management is not good, and the minister cannot stay there forever. He will have to come back after a few days when things are stable."

"Aren't you willing to go to the North?"

Li Yu glanced at him indifferently, and his tone could not tell the change in his mood.

"No, no, I will do whatever the city lord asks me to do." He Chao quickly explained.

"Just, when do you want to go?"

Li Yu didn't answer him immediately and walked forward.

In the second outer city, in addition to greenhouses and some buildings, there are also some fruit trees. A lot of pasture is planted under the fruit trees. These pastures are used to raise cattle and sheep, so no space is wasted.

A few meters away from the fruit trees, there is an open-air stone bench.

Li Yu sat on the seat and put his hands behind the back of his head.

He Chao followed Li Yu here and stood next to Li Yu, not daring to sit down.

"sit."

Li Yu said softly.

"No."

"sit."

"Thank you City Lord." When He Chao heard the City Lord say this for the second time, he didn't dare to say anything else and hurriedly sat down.

He sat upright, with his butt only reaching one-third of the way up the stone chair.

His mind kept thinking about why the city lord suddenly asked him to go to the north.

Quiet, silent.

The cool summer breeze blew by, and a few fallen leaves fell from the big tree not far away.

The grass rustled and joined together, looking like green waves.

It makes people feel relaxed and happy after seeing it.

He Chao knew that the city lord had his own reasons for asking him to go to the north, and now it seemed that he was really going.

It is estimated that the beautiful scenery in this headquarters base will not be seen in the future.

There are some things that are not there in my mind.

"Tell you something."

"City Lord, please tell me." He Chao knew that Li Yu should tell him why he did this.

"A few days ago, someone reported that Jia Tan used his position to deduct food from his collaborators in order to collect benefits."

"Zhang Shunzi and Yan Chan complained that the base did not promote them to inner-city personnel, which is confusing people."

Whoosh!

When He Chao heard this, his expression changed drastically and he stood up immediately.

"City Lord, I don't know about this."

Li Yu glanced at him and pointed to the stone seat, "Sit."

"Oh, okay... City Lord, I really don't know about this. I usually don't communicate with them at all. After accepting various affairs in the outer city, I am too busy every day to think about other things...

..”

Sitting on the stone seat, he felt uncomfortable no matter how he sat, especially when the city lord was sitting in the same row next to him, which made him even more uneasy.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Yu, who was sitting next to him, pulled out a piece of grass nearby and broke it in half.

Said softly:

"You should also know about yesterday's review. We started a thorough investigation from the inner city personnel, but no problems were found."

"but."

Li Yu's tone suddenly changed and became a little weird.

"Today, the officers from the outer city were investigating Zhang Shunzi and Jia Tan. Cannon found guns in Zhang Shunzi's room! They had hidden guns! After being examined and tortured by Cannon, he found out that they had the intention of treason and even formulated a plan.

"

"Ah???" He Chao stood up again after hearing this.

He looked horrified, and lost his voice in shock and anger:

"How dare they! How dare they do this!!? City Lord, I don't know about this, you must believe me."

He Chao knew what kind of person the city lord was. The city lord was always thoughtful and careful in doing things. If he said that, it must be true.
