Chapter 330 My brother who will drop my little pearl loves me too much. What should I do? (15)

After a night of debauchery, Bai Yao woke up late the next day. Naturally, she was dressed in a new set of clothes.

It was said that several people died at night, and people outside were in a panic.

Bai Yao dragged Bai Yi to watch the excitement.

When they walked on the road, they happened to meet a man in fancy clothes walking towards them. It was not known whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, but he bumped into her.

Bai Yi protected Bai Yao and was rubbed on the shoulder by this man.

The man complained first: "Bai Yi, what's wrong with you? Don't you look at the road when you walk?"

Bai Yi held down Bai Yao who was about to rush out, and he replied with a very good temper: "Mr. Zhou is in a hurry, I think he has something urgent, but he should also pay attention to his feet. If he slips, there will be no chance to save him." The

young master surnamed Zhou and the prince are from the same faction. In the circle of young masters in Beijing, there is a good school that mainly flatters Bai Yi, and naturally there are people like the prince who only want to climb up by flattering.

These two types of people are headed by Bai Yi and the prince respectively, and neither of them looks down on the other.

Master Zhou usually followed the prince and master Zhao around to curry their favor. They were just grasshoppers on the same string. Now the prince is dead, master Zhao is also dead, and his flattery of the prince has not had much effect recently. Naturally, his mood is extremely bad.

He glared at Bai Yi, "Mind yourself and read more books on the subject!"

After that, he walked away.

Bai Yao frowned, she was so angry, "Brother, he just bumped into you!"

Bai Yi didn't care, just smoothed her brows, "I'm fine, don't be angry."

He smiled and took her hand, "Don't you want to see the excitement? Let's go."

Several corpses were covered with white cloth and neatly placed on the ground.

After learning who the dead were, the arrogant Master Zhou sat down on the ground limply. Without a doubt, they were all his cronies.

The people from Xuanyuan Mingchi had examined the bodies and found that these people had no signs of poisoning, nor were they injured. Without exception, they all had satisfied smiles on their faces when they died, as if they had gotten everything they wanted and reached the peak of their lives, so they died without regrets.

Including the person who died the night before, a total of six people had died.

They were all well-dressed young masters and ladies, how could they have ever seen such a scene? The timid ones were so scared that their faces turned pale, and some even hid aside and cried.

They were all worried whether they would have a chance to go back.

If Xuanyuan Mingchi suspected that the villagers were responsible for the deaths of two people, then now that so many people have died quietly, even Xuanyuan Mingchi couldn't help but have the same idea as others.

This is definitely not something that human power can do.

One person grabbed the village chief by the collar and asked, "Tell me, what did you do behind my back?"

The village chief was so scared that his legs were shaking. "Your Excellency, we don't have the ability to do anything behind your back! God, before you came to our village, no one died here!"

Seeing that this group of people had knives, the other villagers didn't dare to force themselves, and only dared to plead for the old village chief.

The old village chief was old, and his bones looked like they could be broken at any time. They were so rough, and the old village chief might not be able to withstand it.

Xuanyuan Mingchi looked over and saw that the man who questioned the old village chief had loosened his hand. The village chief fell to the ground and was helped up by the villagers.

They were all simple country villagers who dared to be angry but not to speak out. Compared with those majestic people with knives, they were really pitiful.

Xuanyuan Mingchi thought he was a benevolent gentleman, but now he was treated as a villain who oppressed the people. He felt a little uncomfortable, so he softened his tone and said, "You are not bad people, and I naturally have no intention of harming you. It is a fact that so many people died in your village. This is strange. You have lived in the village for so many years, haven't you heard of any strange things?"

The villagers looked at each other, and an old man spoke up, "We have only heard that people with bad intentions will be taken to the side of the Water Goddess for teaching, but we have never heard of any strange things."

"Yes!" another villager spoke up, "It must be the Water Goddess who took them away!"

Xuanyuan Mingchi frowned, "Water Goddess?"

The village chief said: "The Water Goddess is the patron saint of our village. The festival will be held in two days. If you have no idea about this matter, you might as well wait for the festival day to ask the Water Goddess to give an oracle. Then everything will be clear."

Bai Tiantian couldn't listen any longer. She stood up and said: "You are just feudal and superstitious. What Water Goddess, what... Oracle, it's just a trick."

The villagers were immediately angry, "Don't talk nonsense and disrespect the Water Goddess!"

Seeing that Bai Tiantian was about to cause public outrage, Xuanyuan Mingchi stood in front of her and said, "Don't get excited, I believe that the truth will come out one day. As for the festival you mentioned, I will go and see it then."

Then, Xuanyuan Mingchi gave an order. From a safety perspective, the villagers could no longer enter the area where they lived, and their people could not leave their residence.

Xuanyuan Mingchi made the decision cautiously, and there was no problem.

After the villagers left, Bai Tiantian said angrily: "There is no such thing as the Goddess of Water, Xuanyuan Mingchi. How dare you believe their clumsy lies?"

She stopped calling him the prince and called him by his name. She was probably the only one in the world who had the courage to do so.

Xuanyuan Mingchi was not annoyed. He soothed her emotions. "Whether it is true or false, every place has its own rules. They have their beliefs. We are outsiders. If we deny their beliefs and really force them into a corner, it will only be disadvantageous to us."

Bai Tiantian slowly calmed down. She looked at Xuanyuan Mingchi with a different look. She used to think that this man was devoted to Bai Yao because of the so-called life-saving grace. Now it seems that he is not so foolish.

She seemed to be meeting this man for the first time, and her mood was indescribably subtle.

Bai Tiantian suddenly saw Li Xuan passing by in the distance. She quickly came to her senses and chased in the direction of Li Xuan, "Mr. Li, wait!"

Xuanyuan Mingchi subconsciously reached out and grabbed Bai Tiantian. Bai Tiantian was caught off guard and her figure tilted, and she fell together with Xuanyuan Mingchi. Coincidentally, the two of them kissed each other mouth to mouth at the moment they fell.

The two looked at each other in shock.

Li Xuan heard the noise, looked back, then looked away without interest, took the notebook and went to find his new master.
