Chapter 189 He thinks Mo Jingxing is abnormal, like a lunatic
However, in the next few days, no matter how many troops were sent, there was still no news from He Yunchu.
Not only her, Ping An, and Mo Jingxing, there has been no news from the three of them since they disappeared on the river.
It was as if he had disappeared out of thin air on this seemingly calm river.
As the days went by, Wei Siyun's face became increasingly ugly.
Cai Bing didn't even need his orders, he had already sent people to mobilize all the nearby water forces.
However, the Pingdu River is too big and long. Recently, the tide has risen in spring, and the water level has risen to a certain height.
The river looks calm on the surface, but in fact there is a turbulent undercurrent underneath.
If He Yunchu was washed away by the rushing river that day, the downstream connection would be Pingdu where it meets Xiling.
After entering Pingdu, Xiling's military strength is a bit more difficult to control.
After all, this is someone else's country. Even if Xiling is more than twice the size of Pingdu, if their troops come in recklessly, it will not comply with the regulations.
It's just that Wei Siyun didn't intend to pay attention to such a rule. He was so anxious to find He Yunchu that he wouldn't waste too much time on the formalities.
——He directly revealed his identity in Pingdu, and when King Pingdu thought he was just visiting incognito, he threw in front of King Pingdu the evidence that Pingdu officials had colluded with Xiling officials to poison, abduct, and traffic women.
This quickly became a serious case between the two countries, and the officials involved in Xiling have been jailed.
King Pingdu almost had a knife put to his neck by Wei Siyun, and he issued a severe punishment order that day.
Pingdu is not a wealthy country to begin with, but upon further investigation, I discovered that a large number of strange women have poured into many poor places in recent years.
They may have been addicted to morphine and were tortured in inhumane ways before being sold into backward mountainous areas.
Some of these women died after regaining their senses, some were beaten to death while trying to escape, and some went crazy.
Others accepted the arrangement of "fate" and became reproductive tools for poor families.
Some of these families have stupid sons and their parents raise money to buy a daughter-in-law to pass on to the family, and some have unmarried old men who buy a daughter-in-law for themselves.
All in all, after searching layer by layer, a total of more than 200 women whose native place was Xiling were found.
This incident caused a sensation across the entire continent in an instant, and it involved not only Xiling and Pingdu's secret operations, but also other countries.
Led by Wei Siyun, the case of collusion between government and businessmen was launched vigorously, and the first person he attacked was his own people.
Although Wei Siyun was a superior, he was still a man, and he had never despised a woman's life.
His overwhelming anger was reflected in the execution of seventy-seven officials involved in the incident within half a month.
Including officials and merchants along the line from the imperial court to the prefectures and counties, and then to the departure point of the ship.
Officials were executed, family members were exiled, and all family property was confiscated for subsequent comfort to the victims.
The merchants involved, such as Tian Wei and others who took the lead, were executed, their property was confiscated, and their families were expelled.
With his thunderous methods, almost no fish slipped through the net, and the case was settled as quickly as possible.
And an iron law was promulgated: abolish the system of divorce and replace it with divorce.
Women's status in the family is no longer passive. They have the right to choose and no longer face coercion over whether to have a son or a daughter.
This is almost a historic law.
As the new emperor, Wei Siyun added another significant mark to his political record.
But there is still no news about He Yunchu.
The less news there is, the uglier the expression on Wei Siyun's face becomes.
He had already sent people to investigate Mo Jingxing's power, and Zhisu was forced to confess by words and deeds, asking her to reveal the distribution of Mo Jingxing's reserve power.
Wei Siyun always had a feeling that although He Yunchu's life was hanging by a thread, he was fine for the time being.
Because Mo Jingxing was so decisive in following the jumping figure that night, so decisive that he seemed to know that nothing would happen to him.
Otherwise, how else can he explain his behavior?
Even Wei Siyun's movements were not faster than his. Could it be that He Yunchu's leap could arouse the last bit of compassion in Mo Jingxing's heart?
Wei Siyun didn't believe it, and he didn't even bother to believe it.
Mo Jingxing really couldn't explain his behavior, and he had no time to think about it.
Because he now faces two thorny problems.
Yes, Wei Siyun did not die as he wished, but He Yunchu was indeed about to die.
There was not a single thought that night. For a selfish person like Mo Jingxing, he felt extremely regretful.
But when he didn't have time to regret it, he tried his best to catch He Yunchu——
"Otherwise you wouldn't be alive now."
Mo Jingxing sat on the edge of a bed that didn't look very suitable, looking down at He Yunchu who was lying motionless on the bed.
There were too many injuries on her body, and the skin that was exposed but not under the quilt was snow-white, an unhealthy white.
If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, he would be no different from death.
Her lips were pale enough to turn blue, and some strands of hair clung to the side of her face.
But even like this, Mo Jingxing still found it somewhat pleasing to the eye.
This woman is born to confuse people with her face.
So when she saw Ping An being thrown out of the window, tears immediately accumulated in her big eyes, and her face was full of panic, Mo Jingxing felt her heart skip a beat.
He has seen many beauties. In the past, the concubines in the palace in northern Jiangsu were all beautiful. They had all kinds of beauties, and there were many more tricks.
But Mo Jingxing has always felt that beauty can only be used for fun and nothing else.
——Now he feels that he wants to be perfect. Beauty can still confuse people's minds.
How about he jump down from there?
When he entered the water, Mo Jingxing had actually grabbed He Yunchu, wrapped her in his arms, and entered the water in the least dangerous position.
Otherwise He Yunchu would be doomed if he fell into the river with his momentum.
The signal flare he asked Zhi Su to launch in advance was still effective. They drifted along with the river current for a while, and Wei Siyun's people were one step slower than his.
Half a month has passed since he woke up from Pingdujiang, and He Yunchu still hasn't woken up.
Mo Jingxing took her to hide in a small mountain village at the border of Xiling and Pingdu, waiting for his master to come.
Mo Jingxing's master had a good background. He was abused by King Su Bei for several years when he was a child, and his mother lived a life inferior to that of an animal.
Later, by chance, I met the master and was taken away from Northern Jiangsu by him.
The master was determined to change his temperament and took him to travel across rivers and many places.
It's just that Mo Jingxing's temperament had already been formed at that time, and he carried a very violent spirit, and he never wanted to kill the old King Su Bei for a moment.
The master thought he was very violent and beat him and scolded him countless times. Later, Mo Jingxing gave in. He smiled in front of everyone, but his heart was not bright.
He was always preparing to get close to King Su Bei.
Later, he actually killed someone, and the master broke off relations with him in anger.
He felt that Mo Jingxing was abnormal and like a madman. This chapter has been completed!
