Chapter 919: Treating the Symptoms Rather than the Root Cause

Watching them leave, Su also quickly walked to the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion.

After searching around, Su Qi couldn't find the dungeon of the city lord's mansion. The maids and guards were all fascinated.

After searching to no avail, Su Qi had no choice but to rescue A Qi.

Su Qi looked at the fascinated guards and shook his head, why were he so unwary? The entire city lord's mansion was stunned.

Su Qi took out a white porcelain bottle from the space ring, opened it, and a pungent smell came out from inside.

Even Su Qi couldn't help but frown.

"This smells really bad."

Despite this, Suzy still put the bottle to A Qi's nose.

After a while, Aqi faintly woke up.

Seeing Su Qi standing in front of him, Aqi smiled sheepishly.

"I'm sorry, young master, Aqi can't drink well. It seems he drank too much."

Aqi stood up unsteadily.

"Are you sure you drank too much or were drugged?"

Su Qi motioned him to look around with her eyes.

Aqi didn't know why, but when he followed Su Qi's gaze, he was shocked.

"W-what's going on? Why did they all fall down?"

"You are not all drugged. I will explain to you slowly later. You take me to the dungeon first. Your city lord has been imprisoned in the dungeon by bad guys."

"This is so possible, who is so bold? Since he dares to lock the city lord in the dungeon."

Aqi looked unbelieving.

"How many years have you been with your city lord?"

Su Qi asked as he walked.

"Young Master, Aqi has been in the City Lord's Mansion since he was ten years old."

Aqi answered truthfully.

Su Qi rolled her eyes at him.

"Having been with your city lord for so many years, don't you even know that your city lord has been replaced by someone else?"

"Ah, when did this happen? Why didn't I know?"

Aqi scratched his head. He didn't notice anything different about the city lord!

"No more talking, just go to the dungeon and you will know."

Su Qi quickened his pace. After saving the city lord, he was about to leave. He had to check out the Heaven and Earth Shrine that suddenly appeared.

Aqi brought Su Qi to the dungeon. As soon as he entered the door, a pungent musty smell made people feel a little breathless.

"Although it's a place where criminals go, shouldn't you also clean it up?"

Su Qi covered her nose with her sleeves and said dissatisfiedly.

"Young Master, since this is a place where criminals are imprisoned, they should be allowed to experience the suffering they will suffer after committing a crime, so as not to cause trouble in the future. Let's talk about the dungeon of the Lord's Mansion in Red City! After those who have been there come out, I don’t dare to do bad things anymore.”

"So magical?"

Su Qi didn't believe it.

"Young Master, rats are rampant here at night, especially when it's time to eat. If you go slower, the buns will end up in the rats' bellies."

Aqi explained with a smile.

Su Qi wrinkled his nose, he could imagine such a scene.

"It seems that your city lord has suffered a lot in this dungeon tonight. Do you think he will regret not letting you clean it up? Although your method is good, it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause."

"Ugh...!"

A whine of pain could be heard not far away.

When Su Qi and A Qi heard this, they quickly quickened their pace.

There were about twenty prisoners in the dungeon, but they were all asleep at this time.

Walking to the innermost cell, Su Qi saw four or five people tied up in various ways, falling to the ground horizontally and vertically, making painful sounds.
