Chapter 344 [Exposure]

When Jiang Lili heard Xiya's question, she glanced at him indifferently.

This glance made Xiya feel like he was seen through. His eyes widened slightly and his heart trembled.

[@Jiang Lili: Brother Sheng, can you tell me the whereabouts of Ma Qun now?]

@Sheng Zhixing: That's not impossible. Once we let them know, we can see how they react. Someone will definitely go down the mountain and tip them off. We can send someone to keep an eye on them and catch them in the act.

The herdsmen could hear Xiya's question, and they all looked towards Jiang Lili. Jiang Lili and his group had been investigating on the top of the mountain for so long, and they said that this incident was not done by the Moon Clan. Then who was the real murderer?

"Tomorrow we will go down the mountain and ask the king and we will know the answer."

Jiang Lili's answer obviously surprised the herdsmen.

"The king did it? How is that possible?"

But after going through so much, the herdsmen believed in their hearts that the goddess would not lie to them, and they were now confused.

The guards who came to deliver supplies were also shocked: "Hasn't the king moved to the northern tribe? Now most of the royal guards have been dismissed. Only our team is left to assist the goddess in maintaining order in the royal city."

Wen Qiao winked at Xi Chengyun, who had gone up the mountain with them. Xi Chengyun took Wen Qiao's hint and, though he was surprised to learn that the goddess believed the king was behind the incident, he began to think it made sense after thinking about what he had witnessed. "Fellow villagers, we were very afraid of the Moon Clan when we went up the mountain this time."

"Until we encountered a wild boar in the mountains, the Moon Tribe people actually helped us kill the wild boar and gave us half of the pork."

"Doesn't this behavior look familiar to you?"

After Xi Chengyun asked this question, the herdsmen all showed thoughtful expressions on their faces. Then they looked at the Yue people who were collecting and recycling lunch boxes and wooden barrels, and their expressions became surprised and confused.

"The Moon Tribe left us half a wild boar, just like the trophies they brought back when the king sent the royal guards up the mountain to exterminate the wild boars overnight."

When Xi Chengyun said this, he looked at his cousin Xi Ya with some uncertainty. He had regarded this cousin as his closest relative since he was a child, but it was Xi Ya who took the lead in publicizing the heroic deeds of the royal guards to everyone.

This time, Xiya was the first to suspect that it was the Moon Clan who stole their thirty-two horses, and asked the goddess to go to the mountain to take a look. If the Moon Clan was really as brutal and unreasonable as the legend said, they would probably be in danger by now. Xiya, the brother, knew that he had followed the goddess up the mountain, and did not stop him. The more Xi Chengyun thought about it, the more depressed he felt.

"The knife wound on the half of the wild boar left to us is exactly the same as the half of the wild boar carcass left to us that year."

Xi Chengyun pointed to the path leading up the mountain and said, "The wild boar carcass is still on the path to the top of the mountain. If you don't believe me, you can go and take a look. I think we must have some misunderstandings about the Moon Clan."

The other three herdsmen who had been to the mountain also came forward to confirm Xi Chengyun's words.

The herders understood what Xi Chengyun said: "Back then, wasn't it the Moon Tribe who helped us kill those evil wild boars, and the Royal Guards took the credit by picking up the spoils they gave us?"

"I was wondering, the Wang family's guards had been on the mountain for quite some time when the wild boars were still rampant. How come they were resolved overnight? If the Moon Clan had handled this, then everything would be explained."

Xi Chengyun recalled what he had seen in the Moon Tribe: "The Moon Tribe's life on the mountaintop was even better than ours. They didn't even need to steal our BMWs."

"Since the goddess has found out that this matter is related to the king, then it is most likely the king's doing."

Xi Chengyun said angrily, "Telling black what is white and blaming the Moon Clan for everything, isn't that the king's usual tactic?"

In the herder case, someone suddenly turned their attention to the royal family members who were going up the mountain to deliver supplies: "Hey... some members of the royal guard are here. Do they know something?"

"Speaking of which, the Moon Tribe had only killed members of the Royal Guards, and it seems they had never attacked us ordinary herdsmen. Thinking about it this way, could it be that the Royal Guards had done something to anger them?"

The members of the royal guard who were delivering supplies up the mountain immediately panicked when they heard what Xi Chengyun and the other herders said: "We have little experience in the team and don't know anything. We are really just here to run errands!"

"Yes, we are not the king's confidants, otherwise we would not be sent to deliver supplies."

Seeing that everyone's suspicions had almost fermented, Wen Qiao said, "Okay, everyone, stop guessing. It's getting late, and everyone has worked hard recently. Go and rest."

"Tomorrow we'll go to the king together, and the truth will come to light."

Seeing that the messenger of God was so confident, everyone dispersed, gathered their strength, and prepared for tomorrow.

In the middle of the night, when everything was quiet, Xiya slipped out of his felt tent, looked around and saw that there was no one around, then he rushed down the mountain.

Finally, in the early morning light, they found the king. Xiya had called him out of his sleep, and when he regained consciousness, he saw that his spies at Haibei Ranch had arrived, and they had come so urgently. He immediately woke up and asked, "Is there some emergency?"

Xiya told the king all about the goddess's return, and the king's face immediately became serious. "They are quite capable!"

But all these people went up the mountain to look for the Moon Clan members. Where would they get the manpower to track down the clues of the missing horses at the Seashell Ranch? It is impossible that the little brat and the old man have such great abilities!

"Do they really know the whereabouts of those thirty-two horses?"

Xiya: "The envoy's tone is very firm."

The king heard him mention that Jiang Lili had brought six people from the Moon Tribe down the mountain for six months and asked, "Then, what about those Moon Tribe people?"

Xiya speculated, "I heard that the Moon Clan members on the mountain are having an internal conflict. These Moon Clan members should be the friendly, eccentric, and reclusive group who killed the wild boar that year."

The king rubbed his brows and said, "Hurry up and tell everyone to move the horses! It will take the goddess and the others more than half a day to get to me from the Seashell Ranch."

Xi Ya: "Okay, I'll do it right away."

Before leaving, he asked the king hesitantly, "King, what if this matter is exposed? How can we give an explanation to the herders?"

Upon hearing this, the king sneered, "With reinforcements arriving today, there will naturally be a new solution."

Great! The foreign player the Kings hired has arrived! We've been waiting so long for it, and it's finally here!

It’s settled!

Xiya seemed to have taken a reassurance pill and went to do the task assigned by the king with peace of mind.
