King Li listened to his report and his brows gradually furrowed.
Compared with the other two, Zhang Chen was much more suspicious. Many animal carcasses were found in the well in his backyard. As for the other two, only some strange books were found in their homes.
Prince Li interrupted his subordinate's report and asked him to call Fang Shan over.
The subordinate was about to leave when he was stopped and asked, "How about the gift you prepared for the Grand Empress Dowager?"
Prince Li started preparing for the Empress Dowager's birthday more than half a year ago. He spent a lot of effort to find a piece of jade of excellent quality and ordered people to carve it into a jade Buddha.
"Your Highness, the craftsman has already carved it two days ago and is waiting for your inspection upon your return."
Prince Li thought for a moment and said, "There's more than enough jade left. There should be quite a few scraps left. You can have it carved into a jade pendant and give it to Fang Shan."
After all, the other party helped him get rid of the rumors about his homosexuality, so he deserved a reward.
The subordinate was dumbfounded. He was rumored to be cuckolded, but as the culprit, he was still rewarded. Considering that his master only had an impression of the handsome Zhang Chen, the subordinate immediately realized that the King of Deli's attitude towards people was completely based on appearance.
With this realization, he hardened his heart and pulled off the black veil: "Your Majesty, please look at me."
He had served loyally as a guard for so many years, yet had never received any reward. He was quite confident in his appearance, and perhaps he could win the prince's favor.
King Li frowned, not understanding what this subordinate was up to.
"Your Highness, please take a closer look." The subordinate blinked.
In fact, he is very masculine and is eager to get promoted and make money.
King Li's eyelids twitched. The normally taciturn and capable subordinate suddenly lost his mind. He slightly bent and loosened his fingers, and finally kicked out.
The subordinates did not dare to resist and only used their internal energy to protect themselves when landing.
From a long distance away, Yun Han frowned as he looked at the guards who had rushed into the house... Was he going to be dissected by him?
Before he could finish his thoughts, the King Li's voice, brimming with anger, came across the sky: "Fix his brain!"
Yun Han was puzzled. The guard on the ground was also puzzled. He didn't even bother to get up and asked seriously, "Am I not good-looking?"
Yun Han stared at him for a few seconds, then turned around, wrote down the prescription, and gave it to Meng Xunmei: "Boil it and give it to him three times a day."
The guard was puzzled. Why was he prescribing medicine for such a good reason?
Fang Shan couldn't stand this farce, so he went out to get some fresh air. Feeling relaxed, he saw Prince Li standing under the peach tree with a wandering gaze.
The other party had already seen him, and turning around would be a bit too much, so Fang Shan bowed.
In most cases, Prince Li is still a very serious person. At least at this moment, there is no trace of frivolity on his face.
"Do you still remember the coffin that night?"
Fang Shan nodded.
King Li turned sideways and said, "Tell me about it."
Fang Shan: "The coffin lid should be slightly thinner and much lighter than an ordinary coffin." Having said this, he fell into reminiscence, as if weighing whether to tell out an uncertain memory or inference.
Prince Li nodded slightly, indicating that he did not want to keep it.
"When the prince swung his sword to split the coffin open, there seemed to be a mechanism inside, but I couldn't see it clearly."
Prince Li's eyes darkened. "What do you think this is?"
Fang Shan: "Since this coffin can be moved freely, there's no secret passage involved. It's most likely just an ordinary small mechanism controlling entry and exit."
To put it bluntly, it makes it easier for the living and the dead to enter and exit.
Prince Li suddenly picked a peach blossom. The flower was in full bloom, and many petals fluttered down due to the vibration. It gave people a feeling of beauty as well as cruelty.
"The dead have no mind."
The living dead are nothing more than bodies that have not yet completely decayed.
Prince Li's gaze suddenly shifted from Taohua to Fang Shan. "Does this mean the person behind the scenes might be able to control the actions of these living dead?"
Fang Shan: "It's all speculation at the moment. But this person is clearly not doing his job properly."
Prince Li: "What do you mean?"
Fang Shan smiled and said, "If we create a large number of zombies and form an army..."
The rest of the sentence was not finished, nor was it necessary to say it. Prince Li's eyes tightened, and then he said, "With so many people suddenly missing, the government will definitely investigate."
Fang Shan spread his hands: "It's always better to take precautions before anything happens."
Prince Li thought of another key point: "How many similar coffins are there?"
Fang Shan: "Dozens."
If one or two people go missing from an ordinary family, they must report it to the police. The most convenient way is to start with the homeless.
So the guard who had just been forced to take drugs was called in to investigate the missing homeless man.
Smelling the strong, pungent smell of medicine, Fang Shan sighed, "These are troubled times."
Li Wang wanted to say a few more words to Fang Shan, but he suddenly changed his mind when the words were on the tip of his tongue. The string of reason in his mind told him that if he said too much, he would be the only one who would get hurt.
"There's a guy named Zhang Chen in the village. You can keep an eye on him. If you have nothing else to do, please leave."
Fang Shan bowed politely and retreated. King Li's right eyelid kept twitching. He glanced at the direction Fang Shan left, praying that he wouldn't cause any more trouble.
With fewer people, there will be fewer disputes.
Along the way, the villagers of Wuyou Village would greet Fang Shan when they saw him, and the hospitable ones would even invite him to their homes for dinner. After declining them one by one, Fang Shan saw a dazzling red and flew over directly using his lightness skills.
Their eyes met in mid-air, Wei Sushen's three thousand black hair fluttered in the wind, and he looked evil, charming and arrogant.
Fang Shan was slightly surprised: "Even if they are from the Demonic Cult, they don't necessarily have to wear red clothes to show off."
Wei Sushen glanced at him and said quietly, "If you don't make up for the debt you owed me in time, you will lose money."
Fang Shan inexplicably heard a hint of resentment in her voice and looked away: "Let's go check on the progress of Meng Xunmei and Yun Han first."
Wei Sushen said nothing and followed him. Fang Shan tried his best to suppress the illusion that there was a spirit binding him from behind.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived, Yun Han was the only one left in the room.
"Where is she?"
Yun Han's eyes were filled with the living dead being torn into pieces. Without even looking up, he said, "After decocting the medicine, he said he wanted to meet someone."
Fang Shan raised his eyebrows and walked towards Bai Yeshang.
In the distance, a talented man and a beautiful woman, it was originally a very harmonious picture, but it was unfortunately broken by the argument——
Meng Xunmei's cheeks flushed slightly, and her beautiful eyes were filled with annoyance: "You knew it was the leader of the Demon Cult a long time ago, why didn't you tell me?"
Bai Yeshang sighed: "What can I do if I tell you?"
At that time, even he was not sure what the other party meant.
Meng Xunmei was about to cry: "But you never lied to me before."
Her emotions were fluctuating so much that she didn't notice the two extra auras. However, Bai Yeshang's angle was just right to see Wei Sushen and Fang Shan walking towards her one after the other.
Just now, Meng Xunmei suddenly came over to question Wei Sushen's identity, and Bai Yeshang felt something was wrong. Now, seeing Wei Sushen regain his true appearance and dressed in fiery red, he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart for a moment.
There were too many doubts, but Meng Xunmei kept crying, so she could only hold it back.
"Junior sister, calm down first."
Meng Xunmei: "How can I stay calm when the person who deceived me is standing right in front of me?"
Bai Yeshang thought for a moment and said, "Aren't you helping the miracle doctor? Why don't you go to him and calm down first?"
Meng Xunmei was stunned, tears welling up in her eyes, and she even forgot to let them fall.
She never thought that these words would come from Bai Yeshang's mouth.
She gave a sad smile, turned around and ran away. Seeing Fang Shan and Wei Sushen, she bit her lip and said, "They are all bastards."
Fang Shan turned around and looked at Wei Sushen: "How does it feel to be scolded?"
Wei Sushen shook his head: "It's unreasonable."
The cute girl likes to act coquettishly and is difficult to coax. She is smart and mature, similar to his mother. She often drives Wei Ye out of the house. Wei Sushen suddenly feels that it is better to chat with her than with people of the same sex.
I shook my head slightly… What was he thinking about?
Fang Shan didn't have so many thoughts. The most important thing right now was to create some time for Meng Xunmei and Yun Han to be alone together. The woman was sad at the time, and proper comfort might bring good things.
Bai Yeshang had many questions and didn't know where to begin. Fang Shan was particularly understanding at this moment. After a brief explanation, he teased, "Junior sister was so angry that she ran away, and yet she still didn't forget to satisfy her curiosity."
"The living dead?" Without feeling the slightest bit embarrassed by his words, Bai Ye Shang murmured, "I've heard Master mention it once before. It was originally a method used by the Yin Gui Sect."
Fang Shan laughed and said, "This sounds like a standard demonic cult."
Bai Ye Shang: "The Yin Gui Sect is an evil sect and cannot be compared with the Demon Sect."
The people in the martial arts world are feared and checked, but the evil ways must be eradicated.
Fang Shan thought of Zhang Chen, who was specifically mentioned by King Li, and looked at Bai Yeshang with a smile on his face. The latter shuddered, feeling that the man in front of him was full of evil intentions.
"Do you want to..."
"don't want."
Fang Shan's face darkened: "I haven't finished speaking yet."
Bai Yeshang was slightly embarrassed.
Fang Shan continued, "Brother Bai, are you interested in going with me to visit?"
"No."
“…”
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Bai Yeshang defended himself: "I waited for you to finish speaking this time."
Fang Shan sneered, and with the threat of two-on-one force together with Wei Sushen, he forced Bai Yeshang, the unwilling melon, to leave.
After asking the villagers about Zhang Chen's residence, Fang Shan said, "Let's split up."
Bai Yeshang, who had boarded the pirate ship, made up his mind that he would take a detour whenever he saw someone from the Demon Cult. He sighed and went around to the back wall.
All the doors in Wuyou Village are made of wood, and most families don't even lock their doors at night.
It was hot in the summer, and many doors were open along the way. However, when I arrived at Zhang Chen's house, it was closed.
Fang Shan turned his head and asked Wei Sushen: "Is this a guilty conscience?"
Wei Sushen stepped forward and knocked on the door. He heard several voices from inside asking "Who is it?", but no one opened the door.
Fang Shan changed his tone to a more confident one: "It's the typical guilty conscience."
Wei Sushen nodded.
After a while, footsteps were heard. When the door opened, a young and handsome face appeared before him. "You two are..."
Fang Shan said with a stern face: "Someone reported that you were harboring a woman who betrayed the prince."
Zhang Chen quickly said, "How could I have the guts to do that?"
There was a sudden noise in the yard. Zhang Chen turned his head and saw a figure flash by.
Fang Shan seized this opportunity and shouted, "You still dare to quibble." He gestured to Wei Sushen, "Go in and search."
Zhang Chen had no right to stop him, so he gritted his teeth and hurried to follow. Fang Shan glanced at him with a warning in his eyes, and Zhang Chen slowed down and stopped.
The yard is very simple, with just a well and some farm tools.
Fang Shan lowered his head and pretended to search, but his mind was partially focused on other things. He said softly, "I don't know how Meng Xunmei and Yun Han get along. If Yun Han is not the male lead, it would be troublesome for Meng Xunmei to fall in love with him."
Wei Sushen said calmly: "It's not a problem."
Fang Shan looked at him puzzledly.
Wei Sushen's tone remained calm: "Since you only want the hero and heroine to be together, a ghost marriage is the same."
“…”
The author has something to say: Fang Shan: Young man, your idea is very dangerous!
