C360 Empty Village
Changxu returned to the mansion in the middle of the night.
Mu Ruqing had already fallen asleep. Yu Longchen was wearing an inner coat and casually put on an outer coat. "Go to the study."
Changxu nodded.
In the huge study, there were only the two of them.
"That place has become an empty village. There's no one there." Changxu exclaimed on time about what happened today.
"Did he move away?" The tea was cool at night. Yu Longchen used a fire piston to light up the tea making equipment.
"There are also quite a lot of things in the house. If you move it away, how can you not bring anything?" Changxu carefully examined it once. There were even some traces that had been cleaned up. There were faint traces of blood on them.
"That is to say. Was he killed?" Yu Longchen stretched out his hand to the side of the furnace. "Did you find the corpse? He killed so many people at once. The corpse should be buried nearby. "
Changxu shook his head.
"Bring a few more people with you tomorrow. This time, you must find those corpses." Yu Longchen poured a cup of hot tea and pushed it in front of Changxu. "Drink it quickly. Warm the stomach. The weather was getting colder and colder."
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." Changxu was grateful.
"Investigate secretly, and see if we can find the murderer. Why are they so bold?" Yu Longchen held the teacup. His fingertips turned white because of the force. Yu Longchen only put down the teacup when he heard the sound of the teacup cracking. Those were many fresh people. Life!
"Yes." Changxu's gaze was somewhat fleeting, "I'm afraid it will take some time."
"Just try your best." Yu Longchen got up, "Go back and sleep."
"Yes."
Yu Longchen slowed down his pace. Too many things had happened recently. Yun Xi had died, and now he knew that someone was deceiving the market and disregarding human lives. Now, Yu Longtang was going to attack Yu Longzi's men again.
The grudge between him and Royal Mother was still hanging on Consort Lan. He had not done anything because of Yu Longtang, but now it seemed that Yu Longtang was not the same as before.
After entering the door, he baked his hands beside the stove and removed the cold air from his body before quietly lying on the bed.
Yu Longchen was afraid of disturbing Mu Ruqing, so he gently and quietly did not pull the blanket.
Mu Ruqing turned around and pulled the blanket to cover his body, but she seemed to be sleeping soundly. "You have to cover it properly, don't freeze."
Yu Longchen felt satisfied in his heart. He looked at Mu Ruqing's calm face and kissed her.
The dividing line...
Zhang family.
Bai Ming paced in the courtyard every day, not going out.
Zhang Yi came over and bowed with his back arched. "Sect Leader, today is the day Lateral Consort Yun's coffin is sent back to Yun Meng. You must..."
"If you go, then go. What does it have to do with me? It's just a woman. If she dies, then so be it." Bai Ming's back was facing Zhang Yi. His eyes could not stop moving on his indifferent face.
"I have never seen the Emperor punish King Chu's Mansion. In the end, the Emperor still protects King Chu." Zhang Yi said again.
"As expected." Bai Ming twisted his fingers, "I didn't want to use this matter to do anything. I'm going to help King Chu."
"What do you want to do next?"
"No need. In the end, paper can't cover fire. King Chu will know when he needs to know. Don't worry." After Bai Ming finished speaking, he stepped forward. His long white robe fluttered in the wind. He was still wearing the same clothes and did not wear shoes.
"Yes." Zhang Yi left.
Yun Xi was dead. Bai Ming was a little reluctant to part with her. He was the one who sent people to kill her. It was really difficult to enter the King Chu's Mansion, but he still sent two or three people in.
Originally, Bai Ming's patience with Yun Xi had reached its limit. That day, someone reported Yun Xi's current situation. Bai Ming knew what desperate people would do. Before she hurt Mu Ruqing, it was better to make the first move and kill her cleanly.
Mu Ruqing would be very useful in the future. Naturally, he could not let anyone touch her.
When her child was born, he could not indulge anymore.
However, right now, the biggest variable was that Yuan Zhen. No matter how Bai Ming investigated, he couldn't find out what Shunyi told him before he died, or what he wanted him to do. In short, it was related to Mu Ruqing.
But thinking about it, it seemed like he could not bear to kill Mu Ruqing.
The dividing line...
Changxu brought four people with him and headed towards the village.
The village was close to the imperial capital, and the people here lived a very comfortable life. Who would have thought that they would suddenly experience great changes and become an empty village?
As long as one entered the village, there would be great mountains behind them.
The autumn wind swept across the surface of the lake, shocking the waves to death.
Perhaps it was because someone had died, but it felt colder here than anywhere else.
"Look carefully, where the soil has been refurbished." Changxu and the others walked to the center of the village. "Expand the area. Check the surrounding hills as well."
"Yes." After answering, they split up.
Changxu held his sword and went to the house on his left. He seemed to have forgotten to check this place yesterday.
The door was closed. Changxu did not push it open. After thinking for a while, he opened the door and went in.
The room was not big. As soon as he went in, he smelled a rotten smell. There were seven or eight black coffins inside.
The floor could not be arranged, so it was piled up. There were two layers.
The floor was covered with muddy water. A pungent smell assailed his nose. Even though Changxu had experienced life and death situations and had killed people before, he still couldn't stand such a smell. He immediately covered his nose, not wanting to take another step forward.
The inside should be filled with dead people. Before the coffin was processed, the corpse water had already flowed out.
Changxu stepped back. He had just released his nose and took a deep breath. Then, he couldn't stand it anymore and walked to the side.
"Found it." A secret guard came back.
"There's one here too."
"I have one here too."
Everyone found it.
Changxu led his men to dig up the soil one by one. There were corpses lying on the ground, and some of them were covered with maggots.
The rest of the places were like this.
"Should we build a proper tombstone for them?" The dark guard asked Changxu.
"No." Changxu said apologetically, "This is the evidence. Let's cover it up again. We can only do that after His Royal Highness thoroughly investigated this matter."
"Yes."
It took him a long time to recover to his original state. Finally, he closed the door of the room.
Everyone covered their noses and mouths. When they were done, their ears were red from holding their breath.
"We should go back and report to His Highness." Changxu was the first to walk in front. This place had already become a ghost region. No one would go there in the future.
As soon as they left, another person went to that place.
There were about ten people who came, but they didn't meet Changxu and his group.
They went to the place where the corpses were buried and found that there was a problem. The soil had been affected.
The leader squatted down and squeezed some soil, but did not say anything.
"Do you still want to dig it out and burn it?" The person who asked was very respectful.
"No need." The leader stood up and clapped his hands. Someone would come and deal with it.
"But Mistress..."
"What!? You don't believe my decision?" The person in the lead was vicious and evil, releasing his aura.
The person who spoke instantly lost his temper. He bowed and bowed, cupping his hands and bowing. "Your subordinate doesn't dare."
"Let's go." The person in the lead ignored him. "Looking at the degree of refurbishment of the soil, the person who discovered it should have only been here yesterday or today. Let's go around, don't bump into them. "
"Yes."
They left from the other side.
