This is a little beggar, so naturally he is drinking water.
The people and livestock, who were drinking the same water source, were all poisoned and lost their minds.
But this little beggar looked perfectly fine, showing no signs of poisoning whatsoever.
"Let me go, and I'll tell you," the little beggar said, negotiating his terms.
Mo Yunzhao simply let him go.
The little beggar covered his bottom and took a few steps back, saying, "I'm not telling you."
After saying that, he made a face, turned around, and ran away.
"Hey, you..."
Mo Yunzhao stopped Mo Yunlan, who was about to chase after him, and said, "Never mind him, let's get busy first."
Further in, they soon saw people who were still conscious, all of them looking disheveled and filled with terror.
Upon seeing Mo Yunzhao enter, they all stood up excitedly, exclaiming, "Witch..."
Mo Yunzhao snatched the cleaver from Mo Yunlan's hand, and with a light swing, a powerful blade of energy flew over their heads.
Everyone screamed in fright and crouched down, covering their heads.
The big tree in the courtyard suddenly fell down with a loud bang.
Looking at the neat cut on the tree trunk, everyone's faces grew paler, their lips trembled, and they dared not say a word, nor even glance at it.
Mo Yunzhao threw her cleaver to the floor, cracking the blue bricks. "This city lord delights in being a demoness. Demonesses love killing and massacring cities. If you obey, I won't kill you. Otherwise..."
Before she could finish speaking, many people said in trembling voices, "Listen, listen, listen."
That gleaming machete was terrifying to look at; how could they dare disobey?
Mo Yunzhao nodded in satisfaction, "You tell me what you found strange today."
Those who were afraid of death began to speak up.
After listening carefully and analyzing the situation, Mo Yunzhao quickly identified the person who had poisoned the body.
But when they found him, he was already dead.
To prevent such a thing from happening, Mo Yunzhao took protective measures.
At the same time, she sent people to hunt down Mo Bici.
The poisoning did not happen again.
Mo Yunzhao admitted that she was a demoness and said she would not kill those who obeyed her.
These rumors spread quickly, and everyone behaved themselves like obedient dolls, no longer mentioning the witch or the extermination of demons.
It was a rare display of cooperation and unity.
Three days of non-stop work passed, and almost all the people and livestock in the city were cured of the poison. They still vividly remembered what they had done when the poison took effect, and people were still in a state of fear.
"Is there any news about Mo Bici?"
Mo Yunzhao looked at Mo Yangcheng, who had regained his vitality, and asked in a low voice.
Fearing she would massacre the city, the people now treat her like an obedient child, and there is no voice of resistance.
Fu Liu: Not yet, the water source is being protected as well.
Mo Yunzhao looked at a steamed bun shop, where steaming hot buns were rising from the steamer baskets.
The steamed bun shop owner trembled under the gaze, then noticed that Mo Yunzhao's face was pale, her lips were cracked, and her eyes were sunken, lacking her usual ethereal and bewitching aura.
I felt completely exhausted and tired.
He was among the first to regain his senses. He observed that in the past few days, the city lord's mansion and His Highness the Crown Prince had been so busy in the city that they didn't even have time to sleep, eat, or drink.
He looked back at his wife who was helping him, and at the people who came to buy steamed buns, and was immediately filled with gratitude.
He personally packed a basket of steamed buns and brought out a bowl of ginger tea.
He approached cautiously with his wife, head bowed, and said somewhat timidly, "Lord City Lord, these are for you."
Mo Yunzhao looked at it, smiled, took the ginger tea, drank half a bowl, then took a bun and ate a bite.
She nodded slightly, looked up and smiled with narrowed eyes: "It's very sweet and delicious, thank you."
The steamed bun shop owner and his wife suddenly had tears in their eyes. "We should thank the city lord."
"Lord City Lord..."
