Chapter 13 Liu Yuwan's Background

In less than a quarter of an hour, the drying yard of Lingshan Village was brightly lit, and all the villagers were brought here.

There were cries, curses, screams, and noises all around. A man in black shouted, "Quiet! Anyone who makes another noise will be killed!"

The drying yard immediately became quiet, as the villagers were frightened by the gleaming sword.

The young man walked to the center and stood still. He bowed slightly and said in a cold voice, "Dear fellow villagers, my aunt went missing ten years ago. The elders in my family did not give up the search and finally found that she had settled in Lingshan Village."

The village chief trembled and asked, "Sir, may I ask who your aunt is? It seems that there are no outsiders living in our village."

"Village chief, right? My aunt's surname is Liu and her name is Yuwan. Have you heard of this person?"

"Shi Zhuang's wife?" The village chief was shocked and blurted out what was in his mind.

"Shi Zhuang's wife? Where is she? Does she have any children?" the young man asked hurriedly. The urgency in his tone made the village chief and villagers tremble.

"Sir, Shi Zhuang's wife disappeared more than a year ago. Old Man Shi and others said that she ran away with another man." The village chief said tremblingly.

"Run away? How is that possible? Our Taoist priest performed a ritual and said that she was in Lingshan Village, but the place we found was a wasteland. If you don't find her, none of us will survive." A man in black robe retorted.

Veins on the young man's forehead were throbbing, and he was afraid that this was another false love.

The village chief was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He quickly pulled over the old man and the old woman and said, "Young Master, the aunt you are talking about is the one who married their second son, Shi Zhuang, and gave birth to a daughter. But more than a year ago, Shi Zhuang was injured by a wild wolf in the mountains and died.

One month after Shi Zhuang's death, Shi Zhuang's wife and her daughter disappeared. Shi's mother-in-law and others said that Shi Zhuang's wife ran away with her daughter and a strange man.

We thought it was better to run away than to be tortured in the Shi family, so...so we didn't pursue the truth. If you want to find someone, go to the Shi family."

"Shi family, if that's the case, you can take us over to see if that's where my aunt used to live."

The young man waved his hand, and several men in black came out, each grabbing one person after another and flew towards the place where the light landed.

The people arrested included an old couple, Shidu, the village chief, two clan elders and two women.

"It's here!" The young man signaled the man in black to put the person down.

The village chief took one look and said, "This is the mud shed where Shi Zhuang's wife lived after she separated from the family!"

The man in black checked the weeds and said, "This area, which is less than 20 square meters, used to be a house."

Old Man Shi was very panicked. He was timid to begin with, and it was usually Old Lady Shi who made the decisions on all matters big and small in the family, just like last time... the time before that was the same.

The young man looked at the trembling people and said in a bone-chilling voice: "We sensed that a large amount of blood of my aunt was left here. Who can tell me where she went? Why was the blood spilled here?"

The old man was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud, and could not help but kowtow and said, "Liu... Liu is dead, and... and her daughter is also dead, and her body... her body was fed to the wolves in Wild Wolf Hill."

"What? Old Man Shi, didn't you say you ran away with someone? Did you kill someone?" The village chief said in fear, shaking his hands.

"Who? Who killed her? Speak!" The young man kicked him, and Shi Laohao screamed and fell to the ground, twitching, and soon he was motionless.

The others were all terrified and covered their mouths, not daring to make a sound.

After a long while, Shi Du grabbed the old lady Shi's hand and asked tremblingly, "Mom, Second Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law didn't run away with someone, but was killed by you and Dad? Why?"

"You're talking nonsense. Liu was raped by Peng'er..." The old woman realized that something was wrong and quickly covered her mouth and stopped talking.

"That's great, you have to pay with your life for a murder, and you have to pay your debts. Don't even think about living anymore!" The young man was so angry that he flew into a rage and waved his hand to order his servants to attack.

A guard captain came up and whispered something in his ear. The young man endured it and asked, "Did my aunt leave anything behind, such as jewelry?"

"No...no!" the old woman stammered.

"What? You don't want to live? If you tell the truth, I can spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel and merciless."

Shi Po was so frightened that she shivered and kowtowed, saying, "I did have some originally, but not long after Liu's death, my house was robbed. A hairpin made of gold and some banknotes were stolen. The rest... there is nothing else."

The young man asked with a sullen face, "Are you saying that my aunt left nothing behind? Have you ever seen a jade bracelet?"

"No, I have never seen it... Nothing is left. They lived here, mother and daughter. We searched the place thoroughly after they died, but there was nothing good left! Young Master! Really... Really nothing is left!" Mrs. Shi was shaking so badly that she could not speak clearly.

The young man waved his hand, and the man in black swung his knife and slashed at the few people. Xingbai cast an illusion on the side, and everyone except the old woman Shi and the old man Shi were rescued.

The young man silenced the witness and left Lingshan Village with his men. He was so angry!

But there is no other way. Since the person is dead and the things are missing, I can only search slowly.

Xingbai recounted everything he saw, and Gu Shihan didn't care at all about the deaths of Mrs. Shi and Old Man Shi.

Knowing that Xingbai saved other people, he praised Xingbai a few words in a good mood, and Xingbai was very happy.

When the village chief and his companions woke up, it was already daylight. Seeing the old man and his wife lying dead on the side, they felt no sympathy at all.

"If you kill someone, you must pay with your life; if you owe a debt, you must pay it back." Everyone thought that this was what they deserved and they all spoke up for Liu's mother and daughter.

"Hanhan, where are we going next? Should we investigate the Western Jin royal family? And what about that Taoist priest? How about killing him?" Xingbai looked at Gu Shihan and said.

"Well, find an opportunity to kill him, so that the Western Jin Dynasty royal family will have one less lackey." Gu Shihan's eyes were cold, and he said in a calm voice, "As for the Western Jin Dynasty, we do need to go and take a look. The Liu family seems to be unusual, and the Western Jin Dynasty royal family is also very mysterious. Xingbai, we will set off tomorrow."

"Okay! Let's go kill someone!" Xingbai and Gu Shihan sneaked into the mansion, but the young man had not returned yet.

The man and the beast found their way to the Taoist's room. Perhaps because he was too tired from the ritual, he went to bed early.

Gu Shihan quickly flashed into the room and slashed the Taoist's head with one sword, making him deader than dead. Xing Bai stole the Taoist's crystal ball.

Without a medium for their actions, it would be more difficult for the Western Jin royal family to plot against their own master.

After a fire talisman was thrown down, the Taoist priest disappeared. Gu Shihan jumped out of the window, and the air in the room all dissipated without leaving any trace with her little white mouth.

I work hard on writing, and your recognition is my greatest motivation!
