The banquet of the richest man Lao Tian's family is still going on.

But, the weird thing is

According to local customs, the bride and groom, who should not meet before the official marriage ceremony, joined hands and toasted among the many guests seated with smiles on their faces.

However, this scene only attracted some people's private whispers.

The owner doesn't care, and no one will talk about it like a dog meddling with a mouse.

And Qi Lin, at this moment, is closing his eyes and listening intently to an interesting information reported by the ghost.

Information about the mayor.

A piece of information that was fragmented, the ghosts spent a lot of effort to obtain it from all parties, and finally gathered it together.

According to folklore, the mayor came from a humble background.

But cruel.

In order to make a living in the city of yellow sand and to escape his hometown, he did one thing.

The mayor sold his sister.

In those rumors full of various praises and ignorance, it is said that:

In order to go to the city of yellow sand, he stripped off his own sister and sold her to traffickers.

The poor girl's eyes were confused, and the pimples on her face were immature, just like her shameless body.

When the traffickers looked at the goods and commented, his sister was naked...the ones that rarely saw the sun, the ones that grew like weeds without pruning, and even thought that they were no longer clean...

All this, in the eyes of the young brother who was not the mayor at that time..

Get a glimpse of the whole picture.

But the mayor, who made all this with his own hands, did not stop him. Instead, he praised his sister to the traffickers like a gold medal salesman.

Even, open somewhere for the traffickers to check carefully.

The desire to escape his impoverished hometown, heightened desire for monetary status, makes the mayor forget his shame.

Everything here disgusts him, including his parents, siblings.

At this point in the ghost's report, Qi Lin specifically mentioned that he learned from a regular customer of a tavern in the town that a bard from the City of Yellow Sand once proved this to be true.

And when he was drunk, he said: Those high-ranking bureaucrats in the city only know how to frame up and splash dirty water, but they don't understand at all that selling their dignity is precisely to live with dignity.

Hearing this, Qi Lin still didn't quite understand what the mayor's fortune trajectory had to do with him.

But soon, Qi Lin raised his brows with his eyes closed and concentrating on his face.

Ghost continued to report:

Rumors say that the mayor came to the city of yellow sand with the proceeds from selling his sister.

The City of Yellow Sand is located in a desert area, but there are many ancient ruins around it.

Especially the remains of alien cities.

The technological civilization left by the aliens, if you discover a little bit randomly, it will be a great contribution to the local technology tree.

Therefore, there are many local expeditions.

At that time, the ambitious mayor relied on the proceeds from selling his sister to bribe the captain of an expedition team, and then successfully joined the expedition team.

Became an anti-bag boy who worked hard in the expedition team.

The gears of the mayor's fate sped up from here.

During the several years of the expedition team, the mayor gained a lot even though he lived and lived in the open.

For example, he discovered many ancient books about aliens.

Quite a few of these ancient books have a strangely identical sequence: nine-year compulsory education.

Rumor has it that the mayor stayed up all night studying, and finally, it was all reported one day.

About thirty years ago, a strange apostle dressed in flowers and plants came to the city of yellow sand.

Coincidentally, when the apostle walked out of the rumored inn, he saw the mayor who was studying hard in the restricted area.

The apostle walked towards the mayor amidst the prostration of many expeditions.

No one knows exactly what happened.

I only know that when the apostle left, he said: This child is not bad.

Then, these words reached the ears of the city lord.

Because of this sentence, the boy who resisted the package suddenly became the chief tax officer at the top of the power in Huangsha City.

Everyone believed that after the death of the old city lord, the mayor would succeed the old city lord and become the new master of the city of yellow sand.

But later, in less than a year, I don't know what kind of great changes have taken place.

The chief tax officer voluntarily gave up his bright future and left the city of yellow sand.

Back to the dilapidated hometown that was not a steam town at that time.

became mayor.

At the beginning, the mayor was very nice, even though he promulgated such a decree as the right of the first night, which was criticized.

However, at the same time, there are also many laws and regulations that are beneficial to people's livelihood,

For example, Thunder means to kill all the squires and the like, re-measure the land, and distribute the land to the local poor.

What's interesting is that even if some squires escaped from here and went to complain about the relationship with the City of Yellow Sand, they still couldn't do anything to the mayor.

In the next few years, the mayor seemed to be a different person for some reason.

The land was reclaimed and all the land was owned by the town government. The poor only had the right to farm the land and no longer had ownership. Moreover, land taxes were promulgated, and 70% of the harvest had to be handed over and so on.

Someone resisted.

But the resistance failed for two reasons.

First, relying on the extraordinary power brought by the city of yellow sand, the mayor defeated the poor people who violently resisted by force.

Second, the mayor used the technology and vision brought back from the city of yellow sand to successively build new products called steam factories.

At that time no one knew what the factory was for.

Everyone knows only two things.

First, armed resistance will only be slaughtered by the mayor's personal armed flower guard.

Second, the profits of the factory are very high. The mayor of the town gave the poor people a high price to work in the factory. At the same time, they will teach how to work for free. The impoverished people sent their children to the factory to study from an early age, and became the main successors of the next generation of factories.

The riot was resolved quickly and once and for all by the mayor.

At least in the following thirty years, there has never been a large-scale riot.

As for private?

God knows.

And the several satellite villages next to the steam town have also been established successively since then by many people from other places.

The intelligence ends here.

Qi Lin carefully recalled the key information.

"Flowers. Apostles"

"Natasha!!?"

Qi Lin opened his eyes suddenly, and suddenly felt that his thoughts seemed to open up in an instant.

The fog that had previously blocked his eyes dissipated instantly at this moment.

The old woman named Natasha gave Qi Lin a letter before, but what is interesting is that Natasha did not specify who the recipient was.

Just know the place.

And contact the many flower roads around the town, and those obviously expensive magic patterns are only used to keep flowers blooming?

There are also factories that many people in the town depend on for their livelihood.

As a modern person relative to these natives.

Qi Lin knows very well what will happen to those who lose their ability to support their families once the factory shuts down!

The previous robber is a living example!

The factory is the fundamental factor to maintain the stability for thirty years!

Generally speaking, as long as there is food to eat, and as long as they don't bully others too much, those who take care of their families will not be impatient at all.

As the mayor who made it all happen, he wouldn't be ignorant of the knock-on effects of the factory shutdown!

This is no small matter!

This will be a chain reaction that seriously shakes the foundation of riots in this land for thirty years,

Predictably, if factories continue to shut down, the consequences

"So, knowing that there is such a high price, but still doing this"

Qi Lin frowned, and already had the answer: "That is, he knew that the apostle Natasha would come!"

"The mayor knows that the apostle Natasha will come!"

"For a person who sold his sister, catering to the apostles and abandoning the people under his jurisdiction is completely possible!"

"Then how did the apostles come?"

"One possibility is to rely on personal might, and the other is"

"Station!"

"Let's not mention personal might, there are too many uncertain factors."

"As far as we know, the people in the town are sure that there is no post station, because the level of the town is not enough for the apostles to build a post station for the apostles here."

"That's why people like Cheng Xiao are wondering when there will be a station here."

"And the only person who has the possibility to know is the mayor!"

"The mayor is sure that Natasha is coming!"

"That is to say, if there is any relevant information about the station, it will be within the entire steam town."

"The mayor is the only one who knows!"

"But this is not right, some of the logic is still not right."

Qi Lin frowned, trying to understand the key.

But after much deliberation, perhaps because of the lack of some information, Qi Lin still couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"Could it be that my paranoid is sick?"

Qi Lin's CPU spun frantically, trying to find all the information keys related to the station.

In fact, Qi Lin is not sure that the mayor will have information about the station.

He also knows that some of the logic in those analyzes is not correct, but this is the most likely result based on the currently known information.

For Qi Lin who wanted to make up time, all the possibilities, even some of the key points were illogical.

Qi Lin will not let go of it!

"The clues and recipients of the station point to the mayor."

Just as Qi Lin was thinking, Old Ten reminded softly from the soul link: "Master, do you still remember a way of thinking that you taught me before, 'Bold Hypothesis'?"

"Huh?" Qi Lin was taken aback for a moment, and replied, "Tell me what you think."

"Master, that Brother Octopus." Old Ten paused.

Qi Lin was also taken aback.

Squidward comes from two factors.

One is that the ghost boss talked about some animations before the catastrophe in the extracurricular interest courses offered by the school.

Among them is Squidward.

The second is that the big octopus often gets sick, and he once threatened Qi Lin. Although Qi Lin didn't think that threat was anything, he just thought it was a deliberate affectation of the big octopus to achieve his goal.

But in the eyes of the ghost, this is an offense.

So in private, when Ghost talks about the big octopus, he always calls it 'Brother Octopus'.

"It's okay, no one will know the voice in the soul link except the undead and me, not even the apostles."

Qi Lin thought for a while, then smiled and replied: "Be natural, say what you want to say."

"Master, the golden token given by Brother Octopus is an important item to enter the station, but he once said that because you made him very angry, he felt that you had prostituted him for nothing, so the relevant benefits will be deprived, probably because You didn't follow his idea to massacre the city before and take a shortcut."

"In addition, the station is under his jurisdiction, so because of this relationship, the other apostles have no way to directly give you the location of the station."

"Contact that old woman, Apostle Natasha, she asked you to deliver the letter, but she doesn't say the recipient, just the place."

"Contact the mayor for relevant information."

The voice of the old ten affirmed: "The old ten boldly assumes that because of certain factors, Natasha said the words that changed the fate of the mayor."

"And the mayor's way of paving the road and suspending work shows that he knows that Natasha is coming. Why does he know?"

"It means that there is an agreement or some kind of communication between the two."

"But Old Ten guesses that the possibility of agreement will be greater."

"It was originally supposed to be Natasha, so the mayor is now paying attention."

"But now, Natasha is not coming. She gave the master a letter as a transfer. Of course, if the recipient is really the mayor."

"And Natasha once said that after the letter is delivered, the owner will be paid follow-up."

"Old ten boldly imagined, could it be that the follow-up remuneration of the letter is where this station is located?"

"But what's interesting is that Natasha used to be very close to the town, but instead of coming, she asked you to help deliver the letter."

"Old Ten feels that the possibility of Natasha being in a hurry is very low."

"Contact Natasha's past incidents, such as the chicken stealing incident in Nanzhili, Natasha's kindness."

"So, Old Ten thinks that maybe Natasha is more likely to dislike the mayor's current actions."

"But for some reason, Old Ten felt that this might be a temptation."

The voice of the old ten was very sure: "A kind of temptation for the master."

"If you don't like the mayor, you don't have to come, or just say a word to change the status quo. After all, according to the current known information, even the mayor of that city must respect the apostle."

"But she chose to let the master deliver the letter!"

"And Natasha's appearance was sudden, and she said that she likes the warm and natural smell, and doesn't like the cold, impersonal smell of the owner, so this is worth thinking about, why did she appear suddenly? Just for Let the master deliver a letter for her?"

The old ten said slowly: "But the words she said when she appeared were more like an investment master, but she had reservations."

"And what she said in the end seems to be very interested in the master. She hopes that the master will cooperate with others."

"The old ten felt that there was a contradiction. He obviously didn't like it, but he still came, and he still had reservations. This is a problem."

"What made her take the initiative to show up to see the master?"

"There must be something happening that we don't know about!"

"And the owner of the auction house is even more interesting."

"He said that there are clues about the station here, but the ghosts checked it all over, and even the underground was patrolled by the crypt demon."

"The only possibility of the biggest clue that was found pointed to the mayor."

"So, even if this village doesn't come, it doesn't matter much?"

"Because the master's original plan was to separate from Cheng Xiao and go directly to the town to find the mayor."

"I came here because of what the owner of the auction house said."

Old Ten's voice paused, and he said slowly: "To sum up, Master, Old Ten thinks that if the clue to the post station really lies with the mayor."

"Either the props of the auction house owner are inaccurate, or there is something wrong with the auction house owner!"

As the old ten was talking, the ghost of the school passed him a piece of information that did not need to be reported directly to Qi Lin.

The mayor's flower guard is coming towards the village, and depending on the direction of their actions, the goal is directly at the richest man, Lao Tian's house.

After Tenth thought for a while, his voice changed: "Master, Tenth has a bolder hypothesis."

"Say." Qi Lin narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment, and his heart was driven by persecution paranoia.

"There is a high possibility that the owner of the auction house has a problem. I think there is something wrong with his behavior before and after using the props, but I can't tell for a while."

"But now it seems that linking this information"

"Maybe the master came here because of the apostle's bureau, that Natasha may have been secretly observing the master"

The voice of the old ten affirmed: "It's not a bad game for the master, on the contrary, it may be a kind of observation of the master."
