"Your space can be expanded?" Mo Congwu raised his eyebrows, and Zhao Changliu's eyebrows jumped.
"Of course, it must be because of Zhou Jiaojiao!" Shen Lin looked anxious, with calculation hidden in her eyes. Seeing that she couldn't escape and might not be able to get the space back, she simply dragged Zhou Jiaojiao into the water.
She continued, "Outside the city gate, I don't know what happened. I don't know what Zhou Jiaojiao did in front of me, but suddenly the space collapsed and I was severely injured. My head almost fainted from the pain. Now the space can't grow by getting the jade. Zhou Jiaojiao must know something. I took her jade pendant, so she hated me and kept targeting me on the way."
"But I took it because I thought she was dead." Shen Lin did not forget to whitewash herself.
Mo Congwu felt sorry that the space could not grow, otherwise it would be of great use.
The current space is not bad, but it is too small and unstable.
"How did she cause your artifact to malfunction?" Mo Congwu asked.
Shen Lin gritted her teeth and shook her head: "I don't know. If I knew, I wouldn't have confronted her. In fact, I didn't intend to harm anyone. She forced me to do it."
"I was there at the time. Before they even got close enough to touch you, your space exploded on its own." Mo Congwu sneered, "So, you're saying they had some kind of telekinetic power that destroyed your artifact? Doesn't that mean Zhou Jiaojiao is a goddess descended to earth?"
Shen Lin pouted: "She is a shit goddess."
"If so, I should be a goddess."
Mo Congwu could see that Chen Lin was completely displeased with him and was trying to drag him into trouble. The confession he provided was of no value at all, so he became a little dissatisfied.
"Chen Lin, you haven't answered the question of how this magical weapon can be controlled at any time without getting hurt." Mo Congwu looked at her with a smile: "We will also investigate the problem you mentioned about Zhou Jiaojiao, but we still hope that you can help solve the problem of the magical weapon first."
"Also, what did you use to upgrade the space you mentioned..." Mo Congwu's subordinates were recording the information in a booklet behind him. He narrowed his eyes and said threateningly, "Don't say that nonsense. I don't have that much time to waste with you. You must remember that you are a criminal. If you want to survive, you can only help us rescue the people as much as possible. Otherwise, even with Lord Zhao here, he can't save you."
"After all, this is my territory."
Shen Lin's original thoughts were suppressed after she saw that Mo Congwu had no patience. She gritted her teeth and said, "Space upgrades actually use jade. The better the quality of the jade, the more useful it is. If you can find some jade, I can try to see if I can repair it."
"What about the issue of controlling the artifact?"
Shen Lin lowered her head, “I, I don’t know.”
"Hmph!" Mo Congwu shouted angrily, holding the sword to her neck. Shen Lin was frightened and her face turned pale: "I, I am telling the truth."
"Then you are useless?"
Shen Lin's face suddenly changed. She sensed danger and subconsciously opened her mouth to say something, but then she saw a flash of sword light coming towards her, and Mo Congwu directly cut her throat.
“Awesome…”
Chen Lin fell down, covering her bloody neck with her hands, her eyes wide open, full of unwillingness. She finally looked at Zhao Changliu, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't utter a word. In the end, her eyes were full of resentment, and she died just like that.
Zhao Changliu's whole body was stiff, and he watched the scene tensely.
Mo Congwu put away his sword and wiped it clean with the cloth belt around his waist. He bent down to pick up the bracelet that had fallen to the ground and patted Zhao Changliu on the shoulder: "Master Zhao, even if you have a good relationship with your wife, you can't be unfilial. After all, she killed your own mother."
Zhao Changliu didn't say anything, but he obviously agreed.
Mo Congwu took this opportunity and hesitated whether to try to control the space.
But when he thought about his brain nerve damage, he didn't dare to make a decision easily. He simply took the bracelet, left the prison, turned around and walked to the death row prisoner's torture chamber next door, handed the bracelet to the death row prisoner, and asked him to try it. Unexpectedly, he was not injured anymore.
But when it was the next death row prisoner's turn, the same situation occurred again.
Mo Congwu left the prison with the bracelet thoughtfully.
Chu San waited for him to leave and continued to stand in the alley opposite the torture chamber. He was half leaning against the wall, with the heterochromic boy Chu Qi beside him.
The two men were very patient, and sure enough, they didn't wait long before they saw Zhao Changliu walking out of the cell, followed by a cart with a corpse wrapped in a straw mat and guarded by yamen runners.
Zhao Changliu was about to say something, but the bailiff said, "Master Zhao, the prisoner's body is yours."
"Thank you very much."
He arranged two soldiers to drag Shen Lin's body to a broken yard, and did not return to the yard where the villagers lived. He did not notice that Chu Sangen and Chu Qi were following behind.
Chu Qi couldn't help but frowned: "Don't say that this man still let that woman fake her death."
Chu San snorted when he heard this: "Even if it's a fake death, if I find out, you'll have to die for real."
"That's right." The two of them stared at Shen Lin's body with burning eyes.
Zhao Changliu waved his hand to let the two soldiers leave. He seemed a little depressed. He took the wine pot, lit some paper, and took a brazier, and started to offer sacrifices to Chen Lin directly in the yard.
Not long after, Zhao Xiaochuan was brought over by his subordinates.
"Dad..." Zhao Xiaochuan looked at him with some fear.
Zhao Changliu extended his hand towards him and said, "Xiaochuan, come here. Your mother is here. Kowtow to her as a sign of filial piety."
"Mom?" Zhao Xiaochuan's body began to tremble. He was so scared that he didn't even dare to get close to the straw mat.
Zhao Changliu was confused: "Xiaochuan, your mother is gone, and you as a son..."
"Ah, Mom, don't kill me, Dad, don't kill me." Zhao Xiaochuan collapsed and screamed. If Zhao Changliu hadn't held him tightly, Zhao Xiaochuan would have fainted long ago.
Zhao Changliu frowned, seeming shocked by this scene. He didn't understand how his good son could become like this.
But Zhao Xiaochuan was too excited and obviously afraid of Shen Lin, so Zhao Changliu could only reach out and knock him unconscious.
Half an hour later.
Zhao Changliu left the city, found a place, buried Chen Lin, erected a tombstone, and then left.
After he left with Zhao Xiaochuan in his arms, Chu Sangen and Chu Qi appeared.
Chu Qi dug out Shen Lin's body without saying a word. Seeing that it was indeed Shen Lin's body, Chu Qi was a little surprised and asked immediately: "Boss, what should we do?"
Chu San silently took out a tinderbox and a bucket of sesame oil and handed them to him.
