Chapter 66 There is still hope
The sun was setting in the west, and there was only one hour left before [-]:[-] pm.

The second floor of the knights' residence, the head's room.

There was a stack of papers nearly one meter high on the table, and Qiu Lie, who was wearing an armor, was sitting on a chair, holding one of them in his hand.

At a certain moment, Qiu Lie put down the paper in his hand, moved his neck, and let out a long breath.

He looked up at the time, then stood up, ready to go to the prison outside the west gate.

"dong dong dong"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Qiu Lie turned his head to look at the closed door, and said, "Come in."

The door of the room opened in response, and Jiang Shouyi and Fang Yu walked in one after another, followed by a knight.

After entering the door, the knight guarded the side of the door, standing straight.

"Mayor?" Qiu Lie was a little surprised when he saw that it was Jiang Shouyi who came in, and then he couldn't help frowning when he saw Fang Yu who followed in.

A burst of anger came out of his heart for no reason, and Qiu Lie couldn't help asking in a deep voice: "Could it be that the mayor was also persuaded by this guy and wants me to cheat for personal gain?"

Jiang Shouyi shook his head, smiled and said: "Old Qiu, I wanted to talk to you about this, but you are too eager this time."

He had already learned what had happened from Fang Yu, and only then did he know that Qiu Lie had temporarily changed the execution time to this evening.

Originally, this matter was of great importance. Jiang Shouyi also knew that the original decision was to detain the violator for three days before the final judgment. Qiu Lie changed the time without notifying him.

Qiu Lie snorted, but did not refute.

He was really anxious. He originally planned to do the execution the night after tomorrow, but Fang and this guy wanted to go through the back door from him, which immediately angered him, so he made an impromptu decision to execute today.

Jiang Shouyi had already made a good guess about Qiu Lie's situation, and continued:

"This matter involves the mercenary union. It's not a trivial matter. It needs to be carefully judged to decide. Those evidences can't fully prove the crimes of these people. Some people have raised doubts, so we should think about it in the long run."

"If the evidence is solid, everyone will be convinced."

In fact, Qiu Lie also wanted to find a way to go down. After all, he also felt that he was too impulsive before, but because of face, he refused to bow to Fang Yu.

Now that the mayor gave the steps, Qiu Lie had no choice but to use the slope to descend the donkey.

He glanced at Fang Yu, seemed to think about it, and then said in a deep voice: "What the mayor said makes sense, then I will back down a few steps."

Fang Yu was overjoyed.

Qiu Lie continued: "Vice President Fang said before that he wants to investigate by himself. Then I will give you three days. If you can find out the real culprit within three days, or prove that the group of violators are not guilty , then release."

"If not, I will execute myself in three days."

After hearing this, Fang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Then I would like to thank Captain Qiu Lie for your grace."

"Vice President?" Jiang Shouyi was a little puzzled when he heard Qiu Lie address Fang Yu, and asked Fang Yu, "What vice president?"

Jiang Shouyi didn't know Fang Yu's identity yet, and only heard Fang Yu talk about the execution of violators today, so he followed to the Knights.

Qiu Lie raised his eyebrows, and said suspiciously: "Don't the mayor know that Fang Yu is the vice president of the magicians union? Then how did you know each other?"

"I forgot to tell the mayor." Fang Yu smiled, took out the metal card, handed it to Jiang Shouyi and said, "I am the new vice president of the Magicians Union, and Jiang Xiaoying was sent by the president to accompany me." assistant."

Jiang Shouyi took the card, magic power poured into it, instantly discerning the authenticity, and then suddenly realized.

"No wonder Xiaoying has been following you and calling you senior. So that's the reason." After Jiang Shouyi understood the relationship, he immediately felt relieved.

He has been worried about the relationship between his daughter and Fang Yu, and he doesn't understand why they are so close.I thought that Jiang Xiaoying met Fang Yu through the painter on foot, was fascinated by Fang Yu's appearance and talent, and fell in love at a young age.

Originally, Jiang Shouyi was still thinking hard about what to say so as not to offend Fang Yu, but also to dispel Jiang Xiaoying's thoughts.This time I finally feel relieved, the two are really in the relationship of "senior and junior".

However, Fang Yu's ability to become the vice president of the magicians' union proves that his magic strength has at least reached the blue rank one star. At such a young age, both professions have reached the blue rank. Isn't it a genius among geniuses?
The future is definitely a dragon and a phoenix among people. Let Xiaoying learn from Fang Yu's subordinates, and maybe she can get rid of her bad habits.

Jiang Shouyi turned his thoughts back, handed the metal card back to Fang Yu, and then said with a sigh: "President Mo asked Xiaoying to be your assistant, which is causing you trouble."

"There is no trouble, and it helped a lot." Fang Yu said with a smile.

Jiang Xiaoying outside the door crossed her arms, and nodded triumphantly when she heard Fang and Senior speak well of her.

Jiang Shouyi shook his head immediately, he knew best what his daughter was like.A girl's house was made like this, which made him angry every time he thought about it.

Seeing that the conversation between the two was over, Qiu Lie said to the knight at the door: "Call You Yuan over."

"Yes."

The knight put his right fist in front of his chest, performed a knight salute, and then exited the door.

Not long after, a young knight dressed a little differently appeared outside the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

After entering the room, the young knight named You Yuan saluted Qiu Lie and Jiang Shouyi, and then said in a loud voice, "Leader, look for me."

"Yeah." Qiu Lie nodded, and said to You Yuan, "You lead a detachment, temporarily follow the orders of Vice President Fang, and assist him in investigating the murderer of the assassination case."

Then he said to Fang Yu: "You Yuan is the captain of the first team, and he manages the first team of knights. This is the limit that the knights can send out now. If you don't have any results after three days, you can't blame me."

Fang Yu took a closer look at this knight named You Yuan. He should be over 20 years old, with a well-proportioned figure and a well-proportioned appearance. With this knight armor, he looked taller and straighter.

The height is a bit taller than Fang Yu, Fang Yu is about 1.7 meters five now, and You Yuan estimates 1.8 meters.

After hearing the commander's order, You Yuan turned to look at Fang Yu. When he saw that Fang Yu was much younger than him, he was a little surprised.

But he didn't show it too much, but bowed to Qiu Lie and said, "Yes."

……

Outside the west gate of Walnut Town, the prison.

Except for Fang Yu, all members of Qiyao Mercenary Group were locked in the same cell.

From time to time, guards and patrolling knights passed by the door, so that violators did not dare to make small moves.

Hong Zhong and Hu Wansan were sitting at the base of the wall, their shoulders leaning together, their faces full of unrequited love.

Hong Zhong raised his hand, looked at a ring on his wrist, and murmured: "This is the first time I wear this magic bracelet, I didn't expect it to be the last time."

The anti-magic bracelet is a prohibition prepared for violators. After wearing it, magic power cannot be used to prevent powerful violators from escaping.

"Then how many more times do you want to wear it?" The bald-headed Hu Wansan gave Hong Zhong a sideways glance, raised his right hand to touch his head, but was kowtowed by the heavy bracelet, and had no choice but to put it down.

"Oh." Both of them sighed together.

Jin Xiao kept walking back and forth in the middle of the house, frowning and thinking about countermeasures, but he couldn't think of any solution.

Seeing that the time was approaching six o'clock, Jin Xiao couldn't help becoming more irritable, sat back to the side of the square table, and said to Jin Yao in front of him, "Sister, we have to find a way to inform Dad and Brother, otherwise we will die unjustly." Here it is!"

Jin Yao's face was always calm, but he was also a little flustered.Hearing this, he looked up at his younger brother, tried to remain calm and said, "Now we can only rely on Fang Ling, there is no other way."

Jin Xiao opened his mouth, but in the end he could only sigh sullenly.

The others were all sitting on the straw mats on the ground with bleak expressions.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and it was completely dark outside, and even the guarding knights had changed twice.

Everyone gradually felt that something was wrong, Jin Xiao got up and leaned on the railing, and looked to the upper left corner with difficulty, where there was a magic clock.

The above time is already seven o'clock.

Jin Xiao walked back suspiciously, and said, "It's already seven o'clock, why hasn't anyone come to take us out yet? Didn't you say that we will be executed at six o'clock today?"

Everyone was shocked and thought of a possibility.

Hong Zhong excitedly yelled at Hu Wansan next to him, and said, "Old Hu, Lao Hu, Fang Ling must have rescued us!"

Hu Wansan grinned his teeth, but he didn't care about the pain, and also became excited.

At this moment, a group of knights came up the aisle, pushing a trolley with a pile of wooden food boxes on it.

The door of the cell was opened, and two knights came in with a food box and put it on the table. After opening it, it was full of white steamed buns.

After changing the water in the bucket, the two knights turned and walked out.

Jin Xiao hurriedly stopped one of them and said, "Brother, aren't we going to execute at six o'clock, why hasn't anyone taken us away yet?"

The knight glanced at Jinxiao and said expressionlessly, "It's been postponed. Someone will speak for you. The case will be re-investigated. The execution will be changed to three days later."

Jin Xiao wanted to ask again, but the two knights didn't want to say more, they went out and locked the cell.

"It must be Fang Ling." Jin Yao finally smiled, looked at the steamed buns in front of him, and said to everyone: "Come and get some food, it seems that we still have hope."

"Woo, Fang Ling, forever!" Hong Zhong excitedly picked up the corner of Hu Wansan's clothes and wiped his nose and tears.

Hu Wansan quickly pulled back the corner of his clothes, only to see that it was already stained with snot, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing...
