The era of high martial arts

Chapter 16 The man behind the scenes

This man has passed away, but his spirit lives on forever. Every year during Qingming Festival, Qinshan City holds a public memorial ceremony to commemorate not only Le Zhengcong, but also many heroes who passed away in that era.

Li Changan calmed down his mood, and then walked to the door of the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion has a total of four floors, with several large pillars standing at the front. It covers a large area. It is said to be a building from before the Lingyuan Era.

It is not easy for this kind of building to be preserved to this day.

The City Lord's Mansion is full of simplicity and vicissitudes of life, and seems to have witnessed the tremendous changes in Qinshan City and even the country of China in the past few decades.

Two men in camouflage uniforms stood upright in front of the gate. They had a slight evil aura about them, and they were obviously retired from the battlefield.

"What's the matter?" asked a man in camouflage uniforms.

"The Lord of Shangguan City asked me to come."

"May I have your name?"

"Li Changan."

After announcing his name, Li Changan was waiting outside the door. A man in camouflage uniforms had already gone in to report.

Within a few minutes, the man in camouflage uniforms came out and told Li Changan that he could go in.

This is the center of the entire Qinshan City and the most important place in Qinshan City. The characters inside can influence the entire Qinshan City to a certain extent.

Li Changan came in for the first time in so many years, so he was a little strange.

Although the outside of the City Lord's Mansion has some vicissitudes, the inside is full of modernity. Many advanced equipment can be seen in the City Lord's Mansion.

At first glance, it is a long and narrow corridor with red doors on both sides of the corridor. A small sign hung above the door indicating what department it was.

There were many people in the corridor, and people were constantly coming in and out of the doors, walking in a hurry.

Naturally, Shangguan Wu's office couldn't be on the first floor, so Li Changan took the elevator straight to the fourth floor.

There were relatively few doors here, and Li Changan soon walked to a room with the words City Lord's Palace on the door.

He knocked gently on the door, and soon a majestic voice came from inside, "Please come in."

As soon as Shangguan Wu finished speaking, the door to the room opened automatically.

Li Changan had a clear view of Shangguan Wu's office. A dark red table made of unknown material was placed at the back of the room by the window. On both sides of the room were two rows of black sofas.

There are also a few pots of green plants placed in the corner by the window. These green plants are very common. They are sold in flower markets and the prices are not very expensive.

"Here, sit down." Shangguan Wu, who was still working, put down the pen in his hand and raised his head and said.

Li Changan walked to the sofa closest to Shangguan Wu. What surprised him most was that these sofas were actually very primitive and not full of various modern technologies like today's sofas.

After sitting down, Li Changan discovered that this kind of sofa has an inexplicable feeling of comfort when sitting on it.

"This is made from the fur of the first ancient martial beast I killed ten years ago. I have kept it since then and take it with me wherever I go." Shangguan Wu explained.

Using the fur of ancient martial beasts to make a sofa is really luxurious. It was just someone who killed him, so Li Changan couldn't say anything more.

"Lord Shangguan City, I wonder why you called me here?" Li Changan asked.

"There is a very important matter. After Heishan was captured by us, we interrogated him overnight, and we already knew that someone was behind the scenes and instructed him to assassinate you." Shangguan Wu said.

Sure enough, someone wanted to attack him one after another, but Li Changan really didn't know the reason.

It’s okay to send out a dozen of his subordinates, many people have such strength. But being able to get Montenegro to take action proves that the other party is really extraordinary. Li Changan thought hard and couldn't figure out what big shot he had offended.

"Heishan confessed that it was Zhang Sheng, the young master of the Zhang Group in Qinshan City, who sent his men to assassinate you. When the incident happened last night, Zhang Sheng had already absconded. At present, we have issued a wanted order and will arrest him as soon as possible. As for Zhang Sheng’s parents, we have verified that they were not involved in this matter,” Shangguan Wu said.

"Zhang Sheng?" Li Chang'an is not unfamiliar with this man. He used to be a "celebrity" in Qinshan No. 1 Middle School. He behaved wildly and caused trouble in the school. Just because his parents were prominent figures in Qinshan City, the school tolerated it again and again. Tolerate.

In the end, Zhang Sheng dropped out of school for unknown reasons. At that time, the teachers and students of the school could be said to be celebrating each other, almost like celebrating a holiday.

Li Changan was a little confused. He and Zhang Sheng had no grudges in the past, so why would he send people to assassinate him again and again.

"Shangguan City Lord, have you found out what the reason is?" It seems that he offended the person unknowingly. Li Changan doesn't know what the reason is even if he thinks about it.

"No." Shangguan City Lord shook his head, "Zhang Sheng's parents have been doing business all year round and have no time to take care of him. They have no knowledge of Zhang Sheng's private life. Now that Zhang Sheng has escaped, this matter cannot be easily investigated."

Li Changan clenched his fists. It seemed that he would have to be careful in the future.

Zhang Sheng is still alive, and if he doesn't pay attention in the future, he may find a loophole, and then he will be in danger.

"By the way, Zhang Sheng's parents said that this incident was caused by his son, so they want to give you some compensation to a certain extent. What do you think?" Shangguan City Lord asked.

"Compensation?" Li Changan sneered. It was more of a hush money than compensation.

As long as they keep their mouth shut, Zhang Sheng's parents can find ways to make this matter a big deal and a trivial matter.

How is it possible for a person who has tried every possible means to kill himself to just give him a sum of money to do so?

"City Lord, I don't want compensation. Tell Zhang Sheng's parents for me that although I, Li Changan, am just a commoner, I will also defend my life and dignity." Li Changan said seriously. It's not that he is not a reasonable person, Zhang Sheng really went too far in this matter.

"Okay, I will tell them when the time comes." The Lord of Shangguan City laughed and seemed to agree with Li Changan's approach.

He was originally a member of the military. He was upright, hated evil, and was extremely disgusted with these things. However, he had been in a civilian position for so many years and could do nothing when he saw this social phenomenon.

"Thank you, City Lord. By the way, how is classmate Shangguan Yue doing now?"

"We have been sent home to rest in peace. You don't have to worry too much." Shangguan City Lord said, "There is one more thing to inform you. Tomorrow afternoon, the City Lord's Mansion will hold a press conference to explain to the society what happened last night. Explain the situation publicly and you can participate when the time comes.”

"good."

After talking to Shangguan Wu for a few more words, Li Changan left.

Shangguan Wu manages a large Qinshan City and is very busy with official duties. It is not easy to spare so much time to meet one of his students.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Li Changan did not go home, but rushed to Qinshan Hospital to visit senior Zhang Feiyu.
