Chapter 181 Murong Jing's People
After they left, a team of yamen runners came and looked at the scene. There was nothing, not even a trace on the ground. The yamen runners scolded the person who reported the case, and then went to look at the messy street.
Seeing the mess, the yamen runners cursed in their hearts what bad luck they had. They had just been recruited as yamen runners and had only worked for a few days without getting any benefits. Now they saw such a bloody disaster on the first day of the new year.
It's so unlucky. Nothing will go well this year.
The yamen runners asked the vendors on both sides of the street to sort out their things themselves, and they walked away in a swagger.
The people were left with a helpless look on their faces. They had wanted to make some money on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but they didn't expect to suffer this unexpected disaster.
"There's nothing going on here. I don't know who the hell is yelling and screaming." A vendor said indignantly.
"Now that things have come to this, we can only blame ourselves for our bad luck." Someone sighed.
"That's right. The county magistrate is too busy to care about our lives."
"Oh, what bad luck..."
At this time, Su Yue and Murong Li did not return to the Su Mansion, but returned to the house bought by Murong Li.
The two entered Murong Li's bedroom, and Su Yue immediately took him into the space. They now had to interrogate the man as soon as possible to find out who sent the attack today.
Su Yue picked up the unconscious man in black and woke him up with her spirit.
After the man in black woke up, his whole body felt like it was falling apart and he was in unbearable pain. He looked up at the person in front of him, and when he saw Murong Li, his face changed drastically.
"Who sent you?" Murong Li asked with cold and sharp eyes.
After asking, he pinched the man in black's chin, reached into his mouth, picked out a tooth and threw it on the ground.
Then he straightened his chin with force.
Just because there's no poison in the teeth of his secret guards doesn't mean there's nothing in other people's teeth.
The man in black gasped in pain. Murong Li was too rough. He tilted his head, not looking at Murong Li, and said nothing.
"Do you think I can't do anything to you if you don't say anything? I have many ways to make you spit it out."
Su Yue said lightly, and as soon as she finished speaking, a mental force attacked the man in black.
The man in black felt as if his head was pricked by a needle, and the pain was so severe that his soul almost left his body. He howled and looked up at Su Yue in horror.
Su Yue smiled at him and said, "Don't look at me like that. Just tell us who sent you here. We know the purpose without you having to tell us."
Her mental attacks can cause people excruciating pain, but she can't knock people out with one blow without damaging their brains. Such minor injuries can cause people headaches, but there is no problem at all.
After all, when she was fighting with her mental power, it was impossible for her to treat the enemy so gently. She would attack fiercely every time and every blow would hit the target.
But you can practice more in the future. Like today, there is no need for Murong Li to take action at all, and it also caused panic among the people.
Today's panic has caused great losses to the common people. When she came back, she used her mental power to check and decided to ask Murong Li to talk to Lord Fang and have them pay money to compensate the common people.
Not only did they not have a good New Year, but they also suffered heavy losses. Those vendors were not well off to begin with, so they set up stalls on New Year's Day to earn some money.
"I?"
The man in black looked at Murong Li.
"What do you want? Tell me." Murong Li knew what the man in black meant as soon as he saw his expression.
"I said again, can you please let me live?"
"As long as you tell the truth, I will definitely let you go."
The man in black gritted his teeth. "Alright, then I'll tell you. I still believe in Prince Li. We are all secret guards of Prince Jing, from our time in the capital. We followed Jing here and rarely go on missions, unless the situation is particularly difficult. This time, we received an order requiring us to kill you and eliminate the threat forever."
"Murong Jing? He is no longer in Yunwu Temple?" Murong Li frowned. It was him. Murong Li did not expect it. He thought it was the emperor or Murong Yi.
And he actually escaped right under Qingyuan's nose.
Murong Li probably thought that it was the New Year and Qingyuan was too busy to watch over him, which gave him the opportunity to take advantage of.
This guy is a ticking time bomb.
Murong Li became worried. Murong Jing was in the dark while he was in the light. It was hard to guard against what he was going to do.
For example, using the Su family to threaten him.
Murong Jing does things without principles or bottom line, so he is totally capable of doing this.
The man in black nodded and said, "Yes, I left Yunwu Temple ten days ago, but I cannot tell you where my master is now."
"Okay." Murong Li agreed. Even if he was released, he would never go back.
"Can I leave now?" the man in black asked Murong Li.
Staying here for even a moment longer filled him with fear.
"Okay." Murong Li agreed readily and knocked the black man unconscious in an instant.
"Did you really let him go?" Su Yue asked.
"Well, even if we let him go, he won't be able to go back. He will just have to live in hiding from now on." Murong Li nodded. He had to agree to what he said.
He only promised not to kill him now, but he could still kill him later.
"It's up to you. By the way, give some silver to Lord Fang and ask him to compensate the people who suffered losses today."
Su Yue said that she somewhat disagreed with Murong Li's approach. People who had experienced the end of the world would not be merciful to their enemies.
Murong Li was stunned for a moment and then nodded.
Then the two of them left the space, and Murong Li handed over the seven people to the secret guards to deal with.
"Yue'er, are we going back?"
Murong Li asked Su Yue carefully, and seeing that she was a little unhappy, he wanted to explain his actions to her.
"Go back, your parents will be worried." Su Yue said lightly.
"Yu'er." Murong Li stretched out his hands and held Su Yue's shoulders, staring at her somewhat distant eyes. He felt a little flustered.
"Listen to me, Yue'er, are you blaming me for letting that person go?"
Su Yue bit her lip and nodded. She would not hide her thoughts.
Murong Li sighed, kissed her on the forehead, held her in his arms and said, "Yuer, some things cannot be done according to your own preferences. When you are in a certain position, people are watching everything you say and do. You have to swallow your words even if they are a pile of shit. Otherwise, if this person goes back on his word, what prestige will he have? Who will follow him wholeheartedly?"
"Even if I let him go today, he's no longer a threat to me. Even if I don't kill him today, I can kill him tomorrow. Do you understand what I'm saying, Yue'er?"
Su Yue forced a smile upon hearing this and nodded, "I understand. Our different experiences are the reason for our disagreement today. I will adjust myself in the future."
She listened to Murong Li's words and thought to herself that since she came here, the things she did were not cruel enough and she still left room for maneuver.
