Chapter 921 They Won't Let It Go

Dongming Ziyu said calmly: "This case, my people will take over the investigation and we will give the children justice."

He said it and looked like Mo Wen.

Mo Wen immediately took off his purse, took out two fifty taels of silver, one ingot for each family, and said: "You bury the children first. If the case is resolved, the owner will be notified."

Shangguan Ruoli pouted secretly in the crack of the door. This Mo Wen was really a roundworm in Dongming Ziyu's belly. He could tell what it meant with just one look. If it were her, she wouldn't be able to do it.

The two families of the deceased came to make trouble. They originally wanted some money, because whether the murderer was a mountain god or someone else, he had no direct relationship with King Xuan. Although the money is less now, it is still their year's savings, and it is not in vain.

Come.

Look at the three dead bodies on the ground. They are lucky to be alive and still have money.

Some people still said uneasily: "Although we didn't see the mountain god killing people, we saw with our own eyes that magic soldiers came out of the beach and killed people!"

Dongming Ziyu said: "The people who emerged from the beach at the beach today were assassins who were lying in ambush on the beach. They were not magic weapons. They had been killed by my king's men a long time ago, and their bodies were burned."

The witnesses didn't see the appearance of the zombies clearly, so they naturally didn't think they were zombie puppets. Many people who loved watching the fun secretly watched from a distance, and saw King Xuan's guards killing many people and piling them together and burning them.

Therefore, when Dongming Ziyu said this, he believed it eight or nine times.

There are still people who don’t believe it, “But, Goddess Wang’s words are always accurate!”

"But how can a person be buried in the sand for so long without being suffocated to death?"

"Yes, yes, there are some things you have to believe."

Mo Wen said coldly: "Don't you know that people who know martial arts can hold their breath? Don't you know that there is a kind of martial arts called Turtle Breathing Kung Fu?"

The eyes of the common people were all bright. They were all poor people. Where had they seen martial arts masters? But they had heard that martial arts masters could fly over walls, fly over walls, and go to heaven and earth.

Dongming Ziyu said calmly: "If you still don't believe it, you can move out of my king's fiefdom. This is my king's territory. I have the final say! If you cause trouble again, you will be guilty of conspiracy and the nine tribes will be punished!"

At this time, no one spoke. It would be terrible if it brought disaster to the family or clan members. Their villages were not big, and there was no difference between killing the Nine Clan and massacring the village.

Mo Wen said sharply: "Okay, let's all disperse!"

Although some people still believed what Mrs. Wang said and were afraid that their children would suffer, when the matter got to this point, they did not dare to say a word and had to go home anxiously.

Dongming Ziyu entered the house and saw Shangguan Ruoli standing behind the door. He reached out and held her hand, "You have been standing for so long, are you tired?"

Shangguan Ruoli was slightly embarrassed, coughed lightly and said, "I'm not tired, I don't think this matter will end so easily."

Dongming Ziyu held her hand and walked towards the house, "Li'er, do you have any opinions?"

Shangguan Ruoli said: "The people behind the scenes must be making such a fuss because of those mountains. There must be some big fish in there. They won't let it go. There will definitely be back-up plans."

"Huh?" Dongming Ziyu's eyes darkened slightly, "Tell me about it."

Shangguan Ruoli walked slowly and said calmly: "If it were me, I would continue to kill boys and girls to prove that Wang Shenpo's words are correct, so as to cause greater civil unrest and prevent us from opening the mountain."

Mo Wen sighed behind him: "But what should we do? We can't protect all the children in the fief?"

Shangguan Ruoli said: "Taohua Village and Xishui Village are both at the foot of the hillside where we started construction today, so I infer that the murderer will focus on that hillside and look for targets from the surrounding villages."

Dongming Ziyu said: "But there are at least four or five villages with a lot of children."

Shangguan Ruoli touched his belly and said: "Let Yinxue work hard for a while and go to the two murder scenes to see where the murderer went and then keep an eye on it."

"Well," Dongming Ziyu pondered for a moment, "the four or five villages also need to be monitored by someone with binoculars and sent to a high place on the hillside to monitor them."

After saying that, he asked Mo: "Let's arrange it."

"Yes!" Mo Wen agreed and turned around to make arrangements.

Shangguan Ruoli asked: "Are the people taken out of the sea still alive?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "The moment I caught him under the water, I committed suicide."

Shangguan Ruoli narrowed his eyes, "This is similar to the assassins of the Sun family. Will it be the Sun family or Nanyun Youhan?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "It's hard to say."

Shangguan Ruoli remembered the nameless corpse that Sassoon saw last time and asked: "Has the owner of the corpse on the reef been found?"

Dongming Ziyu nodded, "I found it. He is an ordinary fisherman. Something happened while he was fishing at sea, and he was washed here by the sea."

"Cough!" Feng Jinxing's cough came from behind, "Your Majesty, Princess, please stay."

Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli both stopped and turned back slowly, looking at him with questioning eyes.

Feng Jinxing smiled warmly and said, "I'll leave for Linzhou after lunch. I won't go to say goodbye and delay the prince. The princess will take a lunch break."

Dongming Ziyu thought to himself: Why don't you leave now? Why don't you want to have a meal at Prince Xuan's Mansion?

Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said: "Okay, then I won't keep you. We are waiting for Qingfeng to come and give the betrothal gift. Time is very tight."

Qingfeng's face turned red and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, Princess, I am going to Linzhou this time to set up a courtyard and prepare a betrothal gift."

Feng Jinxing also smiled and said: "I will definitely not let Qingfeng wrong the princess's maid."

Shangguan Ruoli joked: "Qingfeng is younger than you and is about to get married. You should hurry up. When you get married, I will give you a generous gift."

Feng Jinxing's face turned slightly red. He looked deeply at Shangguan Ruoli and said with a smile, "Okay, Princess, please remember this sentence. When the time comes, the courtesy will be too thin, and I will not obey you."

Dongming Ziyu's eyes flashed slightly, he put his hand on Shangguan Ruoli's waist, and said in a rare and pleasant manner: "Don't worry, the courtesy cannot be taken lightly."

Huh! As long as he gets a wife, don't worry about his wife. Giving her some gifts is nothing.

Feng Jinxing smiled lightly and cupped his hands, "Thank you in advance, Jinxing."

Dongming Ziyu still had a lot of things to do, so he said a few polite words to Feng Jinxing and sent Shangguan Ruoli back to the backyard.

The governor of Yue County was imprisoned by him, and he still had many follow-up matters to deal with. He didn't even have lunch with the mother and daughter, so he went to call his staff to discuss the matter.

Today's two assassinations and child heart-robbing cases must be carefully investigated and handled.

Dongming Ziyu was so busy that he didn't go back to the backyard to eat dinner. Shangguan Ruoli didn't let Gu Yunlan go back and left her to live with Ling Yao.

He also asked Zhui Feng to put a team of guards who were resting on night watch. The two children were about three years old. If the murderer was crazy enough to target them, it would be troublesome.

It was late at night outside, the sky was as dark as ink, and it started to rain lightly.

People closed their doors and turned off their lights early. Especially for families with children, the whole family stayed in the same room to protect their children.

What's more, they locked the child and his mother in a vegetable cellar, fearing that the mountain gods would come to claim their lives and rip out their hearts.
