Ghosts on Douluo Continent

"Tell me what your daughter looks like, otherwise how can the city lord help you find someone." Someone called from the corner of the crowd.

After receiving the reminder, Bai Lao swallowed his saliva and said, "My daughter, she, mutated when her martial spirit awakened. She retained her tail and horns. She is easy to recognize."

"I know about this." The city lord on the stage said firmly, "What do you think, Master Gao?"

"Hey, hey," Gao Deli squeezed out of the crowd and trotted to the stage.

He stood next to the city lord in a feisty manner and shouted loudly: "Hey, that... Bai Lao, right?"

"Yes, the little one is here."

"You said Master Mu lent you money when you didn't have enough money, right?"

"Yes."

"Then Master Mu is so kind." Master turned to look at the other followers, "If it weren't for Master Mu, he might have starved to death."

Everyone in the City Lord's Mansion nodded: "Master Mu is kind."

"Master Mu is kind." The audience echoed.

Gao Deli looked back at Bai Lao with satisfaction, ignoring the hesitation on his face.

"So how much did Master Mu lend you?"

"Five gold soul coins."

"Five?" Senior Master Gao touched his chin, "Don't lie to me. This is enough for your family to spend for a year, right?"

"I, I, I" Bai Lao stammered in response, "I would never dare to lie to the Lord of the City."

"It's just empty talk. Do you have any written evidence?"

"Yes, yes," Bai Lao said hurriedly. Only then did he realize that he actually brought evidence. He hurriedly took it out of a small box and handed over the IOU.

Picking up the IOU and squinting at the light, Master Gao pretended to read it.

"I dare to lend you such a large sum of money to a commoner without fear of not being able to get it back. Mr. Mu is really kind."

"Master Mu is kind." This time, the staff praised him without any reminder.

"Master Mu is kind-hearted." The crowd talked a lot.

"You really didn't pay back the money later, right?"

"Little man...little man," Bai Lao murmured, "I didn't expect that when I went to return it, I would have to pay back ten coins."

Master Gao shouted loudly: "You didn't pay back the money!"

Startled everyone.

Then, he stared at Bai Lao from the stage, leaned forward, and asked softly and lightly: "You haven't paid back the money, right?"

"At that time, I didn't pay it back at that time." Bai Lao hesitated.

"Okay." The master knocked on the gavel tree and said, "Confess."

"So now you have to pay?"

"That's right," Bai Lao nodded quickly and took out the money bag from his arms, "Eighteen gold soul coins can be repaid with interest."

Master Gao frowned, took the money bag together, and spread it on the desk.

"How can you, a commoner, have so much money?"

"I couldn't even get out five gold soul coins before, but now I have so much money at once."

"Something's wrong, nothing's right. Could it be stolen? Robbed?"

"Okay! I heard yesterday that there was a thief in Wang Liangcheng. Is it you?"

Just mind your own business, Master Gao said a long list.

"No, how could I be a thief? My ancestors have been honest for generations! I have never done anything like cheating!" Bai Lao blushed anxiously.

"Oh, tell me, how did you get the money?"

"This……"

"Didn't you say that your ancestors have never deceived anyone for generations? Why don't you dare to say it now?" The master said in a deep voice at first, and then suddenly shouted, "Tell me! Is there any secret that cannot be told?"

"I don't dare!" Bai Lao knelt down, "A noble person gave me this money and asked me to redeem my daughter."

"Oh? Is that the thief? Okay, Bai Lao, you are colluding with the thief!"

"No, sir, you are wronged! There is no way that noble man is a thief." Kneeling on the ground, Bai Lao kept kowtowing.

"Then tell me, what's his name? What does he look like?"

"The noble man is a big businessman, not a thief. He didn't say his name, he just gave me the soul coins and left." Bai Lao said truthfully, "As for the noble man's appearance... He was still here just now..."

He looked back and found no one.

Looking back at the meeting hall, Shopkeeper Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately we ran fast!" He complained on the edge of the square, "It was a waste of time and dishonest, and they gave us away like this."

"After all, I'm just a farmer. I've never seen big scenes." Next to him, it was Dai Pinge.

"Well, Xiao Dai, did your shopkeeper say anything? What should we do now? Let's go back and discuss what to do next?"

"The shopkeeper said that he has already gone to invite someone."

"Invite someone? Who is it?"

Dai Pingge looked at the road from a distance, and saw a carriage approaching rapidly in the distance.

"arrive."

"Miss, here we are -" On the carriage, someone raised his voice to report, asking the crowd to make way.

Xi'er jumped off the carriage.

"Master, are you looking for me?"

What greeted her was an uproar.

The visitor is none other than Bai Lao's daughter, Bai Xi.

If she didn't show up, everyone would almost forget that Bai Lao was here to find his daughter.

The onlookers shouted and shouted.

The staff looked panicked.

Bai Lao's eyes filled with tears.

"Xi'er! Xi'er! Xi'er!"

Seeing the kneeling person, Xi'er stopped walking inside.

not moving at all.

Looking at her, everyone gradually became quiet.

"Xi'er, dad is rich and can redeem you." Only Bai Lao spoke eagerly.

Xi'er looked at him and didn't move.

"Xi'er," the city lord on the high seat spoke up. He looked at the little girl faintly, "Do you know him?"

Xi'er looked at Ning Yepei and Bai Lao.

Shake his head.

"do not know."

Bai Lao was about to stand up when he heard the sound and fell down.

"Xi'er, I am your father, I am your father! My name is Bai Lao! Your mother is still waiting for you at home!

Xi'er, our family is rich!Xi'er, come back with me!Don't go, Xi'er!Let's go home!

Hi!Hi!Hi! "

With his voice hoarse, all Xi'er left to him was his back.

The back disappeared on the high platform, behind the desk.

"Xi'er..." The man murmured, staring blankly at the place where Xi'er disappeared. Tears fell from his eyes and soaked a large piece of clothes.

"I already know about this case. I will notify you if there is any progress." The city lord said, preparing to end the case, "Come and take him away."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards began to chase people away.

Seeing Bai Lao being thrown into the square, the onlookers refused to disperse.

"What are you looking at? Come on, come on!" The guard waved his sword and gun. "If you don't leave, we will use our soul skills!"

Slowly shuffling, everyone whispered, gathered together, and left the meeting square step by step.

Bai Lao was left alone.

Youzi kept crying. After a long time, her voice became hoarse and her strength was exhausted. She was still mumbling her daughter's name.

Even in the meeting hall, the sound could be faintly heard.

"Damn it!" City Lord Ning slammed his hat on the table and roared, "Find someone here, don't you have money? Damn it, I'll let you have nowhere to spend your money. How dare you go against me!"

The staff were silent

With a wave of his arm, all the money bags, soul coins, and documents on the desk were swept to the ground, and the crisp sound of clanking covered up the distant crying.

"What are you still doing standing here? Let me check!"

As if he was amnesty, Master Gao and his staff left.

Bai Xi hid in the corner and watched this funny show.

The case is over.
