After Feisi reported it, he got Meng Kui's permission and hurried back to Yun City.

When he saw Zhu Xuanji and Song Fuli again, he first sent a message to the former: "Master Zhu, right now the Fire Persimmon Immortal City and the Lava Immortal Palace are facing siege. We must unite and cooperate and work together to overcome the difficulties."

"Right now, we still need to rely on the power of Song Fuli and his group to be more confident in fighting against the tide of monsters and getting through this crisis."

"I have obtained the authorization from Master Mengkui and can discuss compensation matters with Song Fuli."

"I'm afraid this guy will open his mouth... Alas, our situation is really passive."

"In this case, I hope you, Mr. Zhu, can help me for the sake of being a Nandou citizen!"

Zhu Xuanji nodded and quickly sent a message to reply: "Meng Kui and I are officials in the same dynasty. We are one and the same. Now that we are in the same boat, we should contribute even more."

"Don't worry, I will also participate in the discussion. I also have the right to make some decisions regarding the royal family."

Whether it was his own position or the secret verbal contract just now, Zhu Xuanzhi actively participated in the negotiations.

After getting reinforcements from Zhu Xuanji, Fei Si secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He invited Song Fuli to the city lord's palace and asked Zhu Xuanji to accompany him, and started a negotiation.

It is obviously impossible to track down the stolen treasure and return it to the cloud merchant within two days.

The city lord's palace wants to unite with Yun Shang to fight against the tide of monsters.

To show sincerity, they simply negotiated compensation to win over Song Fuli.

Negotiations are difficult, the three parties are entangled, and the situation is quite complicated.

On the surface, it was Zhu Xuanji and Fei Si who joined forces to discuss with Song Fuli.

Secretly, Zhu Xuanji and Song Fuli also had a tacit understanding, and both wanted the City Lord's Mansion to bleed more.

Two hours later, the compensation negotiation finally came to a conclusion.

Song Fuli's hearty laughter came from the living room.

Faith's expression was extremely ugly. The City Lord's Mansion paid a huge price, and he almost failed to keep the bottom line Meng Kui left for him.

Zhu Xuanzhi wiped the sweat from his head. He also paid a lot of price on behalf of the Nandou royal family.

Song Fuli made a lot of money!

Not only can he legitimately participate in the competition in the Lava Immortal Palace, he can also take advantage of the tide of monsters to make the city lord's palace and the Nandou royal family pay high fees in exchange for their assistance.

After calculation, the hole for the stolen treasure was completely filled, and he also made a huge profit!

The three parties finalized the details and quickly signed the contract.

There was a knock on the door, and a monk from the city lord's palace came to report.

To report at this time, something major must have happened.

Faith thought there was a problem with the city defense and quickly asked his subordinates to come in. However, he heard that the "warehouse guard was corrupt and derelict in his duties."

It turns out that when the monsters attacked the city, the Fire Persimmon City was passively defending. Fei Si thought of mobilizing the Fire Persimmons and made explosives on a large scale, which he used as a trump card at a critical moment.

As a result, when the subordinates took the fire persimmons from the warehouse, they found that a large number of fire persimmons were missing!

Since the picking of the persimmons during the Fire Persimmon Festival, the warehouse has been sealed off and only the management personnel can enter and exit.

Therefore, the target of the attack was the officials who managed the warehouse.

If it wasn't him who was embezzling, who else could it be?

This immediately made Fei Si very angry.

"Good, good, good, very good!"

"At this juncture, corruption is really bringing shame on my city lord's palace."

Fei Si was so angry that his face turned pale.

He regretted calling in his subordinates and exposing this matter to Zhu Xuanji and Song Fuli.

Especially Song Fuli, he once again cast a distrustful look.

"I am also confused. It is so unwise to handle official business in front of outsiders!"

"well……"

Faith lamented that the negotiation just now made him rack his brains and tongue, and he was not in the right state of mind.

At this time, he felt lucky that they had just agreed on a compensation plan, a joint plan, and signed a contract. Otherwise, Song Fuli would probably look down on the City Lord's Mansion even more because of this incident, and thus ask for more and more money.

Now that the matter has come to this, in order to save his reputation, Fei Sisi ordered: "Bring in that corrupt little official!"

Soon, the clerk was escorted and knelt in front of Feisi and three other golden elixir monks.

"Tell me! How did you embezzle! What method did you use to forge the records of the magic circle? Who did you sell that batch of fire persimmons to?!" Fei Si shouted.

The foundation-building level warehouse manager was so frightened that he peed his pants and cried, "Sir, Lord Feisi has learned from this!"

"The villain was wronged. The villain was not corrupt at all."

"Those fire persimmons, since they were picked during the festival, have been delivered directly to the warehouse through the teleportation circle."

"The villain is only responsible for checking, and I don't dare to interfere at all."

Faith's eyes were sharp: "You still dare to quibble!"

"Then you have checked many times. Why didn't you discover the large-scale deficit until you started using Fire Persimmon today?"

The clerk communicated with tears: "Although I check every day, I only look at the appearance of the surroundings, but I don't find that the pile of fire persimmons has been hollowed out!"

"The villain failed to do his duty during the inspection. He was extremely negligent. This is indeed the villain's fault!"

"But the villain is really not corrupt. I swear to God, I really haven't touched a fire persimmon."

The clerk cried and complained with sincerity.

"Okay, okay, you are very good at avoiding the important and taking the easy. I must have expected that you would spend all your time trying to deal with the laws of our country, right?" Feisi's face was gloomy, revealing his murderous intention.

Zhu Xuanzhi sighed softly, he saw that Feisi wanted to cut through the mess quickly, in order to scare the monkeys and restore the reputation of the city lord's palace.

This is impatient.

Zhu Xuanji couldn't see it and stood up: "I just saw the trick, but this person is not lying."

"How many fire persimmons were lost?"

Fei Si's face was gloomy and he stared at Zhu Xuanji like a hawk.

The two stared at each other for a while, but after all, Feisi didn't want Song Fuli to see the internal fighting in Nandou Kingdom, so he had to take a step back and offer a compromise amount.

Zhu Xuanji's eyes flashed with golden light, and he immediately recognized that Fei Siyan was not sincere and had lied.

Obviously, in this situation, Faith could only report the lower number.

This immediately made Zhu Xuanji frown and his face darkened: "So many?!"

Many fire persimmons have been lost, especially fire persimmons that have been lost for thousands of years and thousands of years.

Fire persimmons are analogous to fire spirits. If there are so many fire persimmons used by people with ulterior motives, they are likely to cause huge damage to the Lava Immortal Palace, especially at the stall where the tide of monsters is constantly impacting.

If the fire persimmon explodes, causing the front line to collapse and allowing monsters to rush into the city, it will inevitably cause heavy casualties.

"This matter must be investigated and cannot be ignored!"

Zhu Xuanji stared at the little official, his eyes glowing with golden light.

This is really bad news. Compared with the theft of cloud merchant goods, this is more important.

Song Fuli said: "You can easily steal the treasures of the city lord's palace, but it was not discovered until now. Could it be done by the same group of people?"

"Not Kongmen?" Faith's eyes flashed, "It's very possible!"

If it weren't for Zhu Xuanji, he would have confirmed it right away. No matter what, he couldn't carry this blame on his back as it would affect his official career.

However, Zhu Xuanji had a bottom line and said: "We still need to conduct an investigation to determine the real culprit!"

He originally thought that after he solved the Yun Shang matter, he could immediately return to the Lava Immortal Palace, but he did not expect that the fire persimmon theft case would occur.

Without stopping, he immediately went to the warehouse to conduct on-site inspections.

Under the golden eyes, almost everything is invisible.

Soon, Zhu Xuanji made an amazing discovery!

"Black Shadow Demonic Cultivator?!"

After tracing back to the source, Zhu Xuanji "saw" a scene that had happened here.

The black shadow demon cultivator hid in the Fire Persimmon Warehouse, took away a large number of Fire Persimmons, and then covered himself in black smoke, like an ink python, and easily got out of the warehouse.

There are six levels of magic formations in the warehouse, but the ink python can come and go freely along the gaps between the magic formations!

"It turns out that the Black Shadow Demonic Cultivator has been hiding here? But is he the original Black Shadow Demonic Cultivator?"

During the Jindan melee, several black shadow demon cultivators appeared. Zhu Xuanji could not judge the true origin of this black shadow demon cultivator based on this image of the past alone.

"Is the Meng family guarding theft? Or is it that the City Lord's Mansion is just a simple victim?"

For a moment, fog enveloped Zhu Xuanji's mind.

Seeing the change in Zhu Xuanji's expression, Fei Si asked eagerly: "Did Master Zhu find any key clues?"

"I discovered something. The one who stole the Fire Persimmon was the Black Shadow Demonic Cultivator!" Zhu Xuanji thought for a moment and then told him frankly.

Faith glared: "Black Shadow Demonic Cultivator?!"

He was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses: "Wait a minute, doesn't that mean that it's possible for anyone?"

After the golden elixir melee, the identity of the black shadow demon cultivator is considered to be bad, and anyone can play it.

Zhu Xuanji nodded slowly.

He said: "Fire Persimmon Mountain often shakes, even if there is a lava fairy palace suppressing the bottom of the mountain, it is inevitable."

"The city defense formation has not changed all year round. Due to the damage caused by the mountain shock, repair work can be seen all year round."

"When the six-layered array was first laid out, they were so closely connected that there was no space for the array."

"But as time goes by, gaps will always appear due to the vibration of the mountain."

"The Black Shadow Demon Modifier uses these gaps to enter and exit the warehouse."

Faith glared again: "Can someone get through such a narrow gap?"

Zhu Xuanji sighed: "It seems that some kind of magic or magical power was used."

Faith was speechless.

After a moment of silence, he finally came to his senses.

Immediately, Feisi bowed deeply to Zhu Xuanzhi and said sincerely: The City Lord's Mansion is definitely the victim, and this is definitely not something he directed or acted on his own.

Zhu Xuanji's eyes glowed with golden light as he kept staring at Feisi.

"I know you didn't lie. However, just because you didn't do it, it doesn't mean that the City Lord's Mansion didn't do it, right?" Zhu Xuanji said.

Faith was speechless.

Zhu Xuanji's implication was that Meng Kui arranged it secretly and hid it from Fei Si.

This is indeed possible.

After all, it is taboo for the righteous way to use magic chess pieces, so the fewer people know about it, the better.

This kind of thing really exists, Faith would rather not know about it!

The more secrets he knows, the more dangerous he becomes.

Feisi subconsciously looked at the top of the Huoshi Mountain, and immediately realized that this action was inappropriate.

He frowned and immediately promised that he would issue an order to have his subordinates conduct a thorough investigation of the front lines and key points in the fairy city.

"But there is nothing I can do about the Lava Immortal Palace." Fei Si then sighed and begged Zhu Xuanji in a helpless tone to follow this clue and get to the bottom of it!

Zhu Xuanji also sighed: "I need to consider it comprehensively."
