It should be the palace of that mute princess, and it should be a well, which has now been sealed off.
There was water in the well, and beneath it lay fragments of bone and rotten flesh. One of the skulls, though partially intact, was slightly decayed, but its appearance...
Su Qing remained silent. They had met just a few days ago, so how could he have been dismembered?
Looking away, one sees a room where the princess is taking a nap.
Su Qing's eyes flickered. Twin sisters or imposters?
If it's the former, then there must be a story behind it; if it's the latter, then things get interesting.
Judging from the degree of decay, this princess has been dead for some time, and the one Chris met was probably the princess who was resting.
The maid said that the princess had caught a cold, her throat was sore, and she was not speaking.
It's most likely the latter. Did they already switch the items back then?
So what should I do? Be a kind and upright dragon!
Su Qing quickened her pace and glared at Chris: "Hurry up, what are you dawdling for?"
Chris was speechless. Why did this dragon always try to shift the blame onto others? He had no sense of responsibility and would never become a great knight.
They quickened their pace and returned to the manor. Chris continued his secluded study, while Su Qing ran back to her room.
I took out a pen and paper, and soon a letter appeared. The content was very formal and serious.
My dear princess, or rather, imposter, guess what I found in the well?
Good heavens, those are rotting, dismembered remains. The head looks just like yours. This seems to be a huge secret. So, as someone who is willing to keep your secret, shouldn't you give me some reward?
How about 30,000 gold coins?
...
Su Qing paused, thought for a moment, and then filled in the name.
The great knight, presented by Chris.
After doing all this, Su Qing looked at the paper in his hand. The handwriting on it was quite similar to his imitation.
Unless they are compared, the princess probably wouldn't notice the difference.
It doesn't matter if you notice it.
With a flick of her fingers, a cloud of mist appeared. After kneading it for a while, a strange-looking little chick appeared, picked up the letter from the ground, and flapped its wings, flying towards the palace.
His eyes opened, mainly covering the area of the palace. This time, it was very quick. Su Qing looked at the eagle he had created, which he believed to be an eagle, and it flew into the palace. Using his consciousness as control, it took advantage of a moment when no one was around and landed in front of the window of the princess's room.
Pecked at the window, making a noise, and Su Qing saw the princess get up from the bed. With a thought, the chick vanished, leaving only a folded piece of paper.
The window was pushed open, and the princess looked around warily. Her gaze was drawn to the piece of paper. She picked it up, opened it, and her face suddenly turned ugly.
Some information from before suddenly connected in her mind.
No wonder that guy suddenly kept his distance from her; he realized he'd noticed something was wrong with her.
But how did he find out? The princess was someone he was meeting for the first time.
And how did that guy know the body was in the well?
Could it be that that person once ran into her palace?
A chilling feeling of being stripped naked made her feel cold all over.
He was so polite when we met, and seemed completely infatuated with her, yet he did such a perverted thing as stalking, spying, and blackmailing her. That person is terrifying.
But is it really Chris?
In the end, the girl retained some rationality and decided to test the waters.
Thirty thousand gold coins?
She decided to do as the letter instructed.
Su Qing kept watching the other party collect gold coins before she finally looked away with satisfaction, picked up her pen, and began writing the letter again.
This time, during his city-wide search, he discovered far more than just one or two secrets.
As letters were written, wisps of mist shaped into little birds, carrying the letters away.
Su Qing was surprised to find that the skills the system had unlocked were so cute, and could even be used to generate income.
...
A man stared at the letter in his hand with a gloomy expression. He hadn't expected that even though he had been so discreet, his affair with a mistress had still been discovered. Who was this bastard who dared to threaten him by telling his wife, the shrew.
...
A woman, her face ashen, glanced cautiously at her husband, who hadn't noticed her, and quickly put the letter away.
...
On this day, Su Qing sent out hundreds of letters, and the atmosphere in the entire capital suddenly became strange, with many people becoming suspicious.
At the dinner table, a couple looked at each other, then quickly looked away, appearing guilty.
In a dilapidated house, a scarred man with a menacing look stares at the letter in his hand, unable to understand how the news of his murder and hiding here had been exposed.
...
After a brief moment of hesitation and agonizing, almost all those who received the letter dared not gamble on whether that bastard would expose their secret, so they all buried different amounts of gold coins in front of their doors as instructed in the letter, and then secretly observed the outside world through the crack in the door.
They all wanted to know who this bastard who was extorting them was, but instead they saw a pack of dogs formed from white mist dig up the soil in front of their door, swallow the gold coins, and run away.
Some people wanted to chase after it but failed, while others didn't dare to chase after it at all.
Su Qing activated his vision and surveyed the entire city. He focused on the dogs that collected gold coins, and only after confirming that no one was following them did he gather them together.
I counted the gold coins; there were less than ten thousand.
This business is worth doing!
Over the next few days, Su Qing's blackmail—no, her education—expanded to over a thousand people. She used a unique method to teach these people not to do bad things, as some of them were easily blackmailed by those with malicious intentions.
